The people of Olympia tastefully decorat-

Large Glass.

The accident in the breaking Of the large
pane Of glass in the McKenny block is
more serious than was at first supposed,
owing to the fact that it is almost impossi-
bic to replace it, without having it made at
the factory. The glass is bob l18 inches
and General McKenny says it Is one Of the
largest on the Pacific coast. Some stores
in Tacoma and Seattle have lights as long,
but in no instance are they as wide. He
does not expect to replace it for less than

THE TWO BRUISERS.
Sullivan and Corbett in the Pink
of Condition

BOth are Confident of Success.
Their Training and weight.
style of Fighting TO be AdOp ted.
Special Train for New Orleans.
NEW York, Aug. 2O.-John L. Sullivan has
recovered from his lameness caused by the
blister on his heel from a new pair Of rum
ming shoes and a sore toe, caused by his
poisoning a mosquito bite by scratching it.
He is now down to 2O8. and expects to be
able to enter the ring at 213 pounds. He is
feeling good, and confident of winning an
easy victory, for he says he does not intend
to waste strength chasing Corbett around
the ring If he attempts to adopt the Char
ley Mitchell sprinting tactics. He is fully
prepared for any emergency, and can make
long fight or a short one, just as the case
may call for, and he will be governed en-
tirely by the style Of fighting Corbett
adopts. If he stands right up like a man
Sullivan predicts short battle, but if he
attempts shifty business, John L. will be
fully prepared to stay there all night, if
necessary.
CORBETT's CONDITION.
OOfDeIJ Is also IN prime COuQlllOn ana IN
good spirits. He looks we'll, is as qnick as
a cat and looks as though he was able to
make the fight Of his life He does not ex-
pect an easy thing, as he is fully aware that
he has got 20 confront the greatest man that
has ever set foot in ring, but as he has al
ready fought draw with Peter Jackson,
acknowledged the next best man I'm the pu-
gilistic arena, he,does not see why he should
have any hesitation in confronting Sui
Ivan. The worst he can possibly get is a
defeat, in which case he would be no worse
off than he is at present, as everybody
seems to feel that Sullivan is the best man
and that there is no one like Sullivan.
Judging from his own achievements and
those Of Sullivan he feels that his chances
of victory are just as good as those of Sui
livan. COrbett claims to weigh 1886 pounds
at present, but he is 50 slender and active
that he does not look nearly so heavy. As
to his mode Of fighting he has nothing TO
say further than the night of the fight
would settle the question as to the style
each man would adopt. The train which
will convey the Corbett party will leave
the Pennsylvania railroad depot at 80
pm, September 1st, via the Richmond q
Danville, piedmont air line) making the
trip in thirty-nine hours.

and who was afterward captured at San
Diego and confessed to the crime, was
taken from Jail here at 1 O'Clock this morn

the MOdieska ranch, July 3Oth, because
McKelvy had withheld a portion of Torres
wages TO pay poll tax. Torres crept up
behind McKelvy in the Santiago canyon,
twenty miles from here, and then beat his
brains out with a heavy club. Torres fed
but was captured few days later near San

A Probable Strike of the FIremen
and characterization with the
TrOOPs--SOme Important Conn
ments From the English Press.
BUFFALO, August 2O.-At Black Rock
and beyond are great storage yards for
freight in a district largely occupied by the
working classes, who are in sympathy with
the strikers. In view of this and possible
tie up of the Grand Trunk of Canada lines
of troops have been extended over this ter
ritory and on to the great bridges at Nj
agra Falls.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, August 2O.-Grand-
master Sargent, in an interview on the Buff
falo strike situation, expressed the belief
that Grandmaster Sweeney had cause to
order out the switchmen and he hoped they
would win. Sargent added, however, that
the firemen had no grievance at Buffalo
and there would be no strike of the men in
his order.
BUFFALO, August 20. - There was
skirmish with the strikers at East Buffalo
last night. The strikers stoned noD-uniOn
men on the Erie trestle. A detach ment of
the Seventy-frst regiment came up, when
the strikers continued stoning. The order
was given to fire. The strikers then scat
tered in every direction and escaped the
militia. A picket was wounded in the
arm last night by a striker with a knife.
Decisive action on the part Of Grand Mas
ter Sargent is expected any moment, rela-
tive to the strike of the firemen on the
roads on which the switohmen are not out.
The New York Central cleared its yards of
live stock and perishable freight today.

LONDON, August 20.-On the industrial
situation in the United States, the Chronicle
says: "The American people had the
most splendid inheritance ever conferred
on a nation and they have grossly misused
it. HOards of vulgar Office seekers have
been permitted to fatten on the public body.
Great cities are given over to men who
ought to be in prison, and millions and
millions of acres of public lands are given
with light heart to railway corporations
which now threaten to strangle the repub-
lie in their octopus like grasp. This is
really practical anarchism which ruins
states compared with which the anarchism
of a handful of desperate families is almost
inOccuous. That is the general moral of
labor war, but there are special
questions relating to railway and convict
labor. 1t is simply monstrous that capi-
monstrOus that no self-respecting commu-
nifty could possibly tolerate it,"
The Standard says; "Men do not fight
like tigers and wreck property with savage
fury unless driven desperate by want. Ev-
identity point is reached when the men
feel life is not worth living"
The Times says: "Fhe labor troubles in
the United States taRen q form not to
be distinguished from civil war. We can
not yet venture to think the danger is
ended. It is small wonder that the course
of affairs is watched with ALARM
The Daily News says; "This labor war,
in the liberal sense of the word, justiies
the prediction of many diligent students of
American politics and society that social
troubles come earlier and prove infinitely
more bitter in a republic than in the old
fashioned monarChies of Europe"

LIZZIE B0RDEN'S BUMPS.
A chronological Professor" Tells
What He Thinks about Her.
HE DID NOT KNOW HIS SUBJECT,
But Found No Difficulty I'm Giving Her n
Character That Some of the People
Who Know Her Think Is very Ac-
curate and True.

The picture OF Lizzie A. Borden OF Fall
of her father and is now in the Taunton
Jail awaiting trial, mas been shown to
Pr. Nelson SiZer, President of the
American Institute of Phrenology, who
read her character from it. This bump
professor did not know who his subject
was, but at the end of short examina
tion he made this diagnosis of Miss Bor-
den's character:
We see in this portrait practical
talent. The fullness across the lower
part OF the forehead evinces large per
ceptive faculties as group, making her
bright, quick TO see, to know and to re-
member. giving the talents necessary for
practical education, for art. mechanism
aud for business.
1.-THE head seems to be broad ia the
sides above aud about the ears, showing
bravery. energy, severity and "A strong de
sire for ownership, and laying the foun-
dation for good business talent and the
tendency TO push the cause which has
business involved in IL to n successful
termination.
''rhe face indicates power. The broad
cheek bones and the prominence of them,
the massiyeness of the lower jaw, rs IL
hair. show vital power aud the tendency
to be thorough and severe.
The mouth indicates determination
and resolution. The breadth Of the head
above aud about the ears shows courage
selfshness ana executive ability.
"She appears TO have large firmness,
that is shown in the hsighth OF the head
on line from the opening Of one ear To
that OF the other over the top.
I'VE think she has pretty good share
of self-esteem. She is self willed, cour-
ageous, high-tempered, secretive, fond of
property. She is not a thinker and rea-
sc2er; she is "a critic, but she is rather
light in the reasoning power though
amply developed in sthe abilities which
relate TO practical knowledge. and the
ability To be ingenious aud artistic.
" III the back and top of the head were
available 1t would be an aid to the full
estimate Of her character.
She appears to have more courage
than prudence. more determination thar
ability, more force than restraint of
mind. NELSON SIZER"

Needless Alarm.

Dangerous things look safe, and safe
things look dangerous. The trouble is all
in the beholder's eye, as the common ex.
preston is. An Englishman was on a voy.
age to Spain.
Ships were flying by, of varying shape
rig and color. One, the Englishman no
ticed, was bearing slowly down toward
him, with her cargo piled on deck halt
way up the masts! What could she be;
How could she hope, laden in this way, to
live out the faintest suspicion of gale!
The English traveller was considerably
exercised about her. Something surely
ought to be done to make such rascally
deck loading" illegal and impossible. He
scanned the vessel with his glass. The
breeze was light, but she rode buoyantly.
At last sailor cleared up the mystery.
''Why, sir, - no said bluntly, she's only
a coaster loas.ed with cork. Youth s
