NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 14.-Neveri in the
history OF the country have so many
pugilists been preparing for the fray.
The absorbing topic of conversation is
the fights and their outcome The gen.
eral opinion OF men who have seen the
men at work who can make accurate
and unpraiudiced deductions, is that
the fights will result as follows: Nc
MILAN to whip Kinds; Ryan to master
Dawson; Goddard to win easily over
Smith; Lewis to win in the wrestling
match with Roeber. and DAILY TO, trot
second with Gibbons.
Puzzles Patrons Of Sport.
The question which is puzzling the
patrons of the sport is the picking of
the winner vof the Hall-Fitzsimmons
match. Aside from favoritism the ques-
ton is probably the most difficult of its
kind offered for solution. That the
men are evenly matched is beyond a
doubt. Both are tall, ,.shifty, strong.
powerful hitters. and possessed of pluck
and endurance They have both fought
men who stood high in their profession.
These facts, compared with the size of
the purse. fortune in itself, will add
increased speed to their blows, quickness
to their every move. and shrewdness to
their generalship. Experts say it will
be grand fight and
The Contest OF the Age.
Fitzsimmons is quoted as saying that

developements are expected in relation
to the future policy and plans of the

of the recent shut-downs of the mines

fact that nearly 100 tons of casiterite
of black oxide of tin was saved during

was not due to the failure of process

PRICE FIVE CENTS
The )hdurate Maiden.

Come" said ST. Valentine,
Love and will now combine
Merrily with hearts We'll play
Through this long and happy day"
Soon they met a, maiden rare,
Beautiful beyond compare,
Fancy free she tripped along,
Trilling low merry song.
Straightway did the willy pair
Aim at her with jealous care,
But in vain, with quick rebound,
Fell their darts upon the ground.
Then disguised in sober dress
On they went in blithesomeness
When they came to Smiths great
store
Close they waited at the door.
Soon the maid came hurrying by,
But the Bargains" caughther eye.
Through the stately door she went
And on mischief slyly bent
Came the other, drawing near
Thus her every word to hear.
Handsome was the dapper clerk,
But the scheming would not work.
Nothing saw the pretty maid
But the Bargains" he displayed
Then the scheners turned about,
Muttering as they shuff1ed out,
There's no room for us at all
When these bargains are on call
With his elegant display
SMITH is bound to rule the day."

gether a more villainous crowd. The
worst of the lot, however, looked honest
and mild tempered compared to that
fellow they had elected as captain. He
was a giant in statue, as dark as Span
lard. and his face was that of a savage
wild beast. We were so near that we
could look into his eyes and catch his
ferocious expression, and / think every
man of US realized that he would have
to be killed before the brig could be
taken. The defiant attitude of the con-
victs seemed to put our captain IN an
embarrassing position, but after mo-
ment's thought he called out to the fell
low on the rail:
You must have captured the brig TO
get away from Cayenne. What has be-
come of the crew.
ssDead-every one of them killed and
thrown overboardr shouted the fiend in
answer.
DO you mean to say you murdered

YES, all the crew, but we've got the
captains wife and her sister aboardl
Now, you've got the news, and you sheer

We were compelled to widen the dis
lance between US to prevent accident
from the lubberly manner in which the
BRIG was steered, but we reduced sail so
as to keep abreast of her, and the captain
and his officers descended for consulta-
ton. I don't know whether they ques-
toned their right to interfere or dis
eussed the best method Of recapturins

a quarter OF an hour. When they came
on deck, we got the order TO load with

and gun was ready for action. One of
the convicts was aloft with glass and
could plainly note every movement
aboard of us. and our captain, who was
likewise posting Us, reported that the
fellows had armed themselves with rifles
and revolvers and were erecting shields
against the bulwarks. 4 solid shot was

A Disguised ouestioner.

There was new arrival at Pauline's
house, but to her disgust, not to say
wrath, it was a girl. Three similar oc-
currences have taken the edge off her
enthusiasm as to the advantages Of little
sisters, and she stood glowering at the
little bundle of walls and inquired, ''How
much you gave for it?' "Twenty-four

Lieut.. Brumbach's Disappearance.

The army theory about Lieut.. Brumbach,
who disappeared from this city last Saturday,
is that he has purposely absented himself with
view Of being declared deserter from the
army. Three months is the limit of time an
officer can remain away from duty without
leave before expulsion. But as Lieut.. Brum-
bach has been unoficially declared incapaci-
tated, mentally, for work and was on his way
to the asylum, the question has arisen whether
he could be dropped as deserter before some
examination is made as to his sanity.
The date upon which he requested his resig-
nation to be accepted has passed, and while it
Is still before the department it cannot be &C
cepted in its present form. Should the lieu
tenant again tender to the Secretary his resig-
nation it is believed it would be promptly ac-
cepted. Lieut.. Brumbach's family is said to be
opposed to his resigning from the army. He,
on the contrary, is bent on it, and if the de-
partment does not see fit to let him resign he
will probably force himself out by remaining
away from his pot until the Secretary will be
obliged to consider him a deserter and his
name be then stricken from the rolls Of the
army.

action. Until something is done with the
