half an hour the journey to tho fair was
resumed. Meantime the Michigan had
taken up her tow cable and the Viking,

NEw YoRE, July l2.-At the Coleman
House this afternoon Judge Newton, Of
the Coney Island Athletic Club, and
w. A. Brady. James ]. Corbett's mana
ger, signed articles calling for contest
at Coney Island next December.
The arrangements were conducted
with perfect harmony on both sides.
The articles call for scientific glove
contest ottwenty rounds or more, for q
purse Of $4,000, on day to be hereafter
mutually agreed upon, between the fifth
day Of December and the Goth day Of
December, 1893, under the rules OF the
Marquis Of Queensbury, which are to
be followed by the official referee in
every instance and particular, tho win
ner to receive the full purse OF $4,000
without reservation. The gloves shall
be OF size already mutually agreed
upon by the principals thereto, but OF
not less weight than five ounces.
The club shall name IN official referee
and timekeoper, the principals reserv-
ing tho right to secure one timekeeper
each. All Of the conditions in the
agreement signed during the month OF
February, 1893, shall hold good in this
agreement.
The club agrees to post $4,000 and
the principals 5000 each.
The articles will be delivered to
Mitchell for signature, which must be
obtained on or before Augusta. Blythe
stipulations in the articles neither
Mitchell nor Corbett Is permitted to
fight with any one else prior to meet
ing each other.
As Corbett has arranged to meet
Jackson in June, 1904, 1t only remains
for Mitchell to attach his signature to
insure the match being held at Coney
Island.
Whether the articles partially signed
to-day will be carried to Mitchell by a
commissioner OF the Coney Island club
or entrusted to the mail Is as yet unde-
cided. They must go by the first
steamer in order to be returned by
Augusta.

DENVER, COL, July l2.-on the 2sth Of

following order;
"Be it undorstood by all the faithful
both Of the clergy and the laity, that
for the future no children will be re-
ceived for first communion and con-
flrmation who have not for at least two
years previous been attending the
parish school or some other Catholic
school. and We reserve ourselves the
right to Judge whether the reasons are
sufficiently grave in certain cases TO
allow an exception to this regulation"
The law has never been withdrawn
by Bishop Matt, who has strenuously
opposed the school policy Of Bishop
ireland.
Archbishop satolli, on learning of
the existence OF Bishop Matz's decree,
wrote to him strongly disappearing IL.
Bishop Matz replied that he had entire

no public record, however, of the law
ever having been modified or abrogated.

Trapning Wolves In Franco

Among other contrivances there is
one that outwits the sagacity of tho
wolf with as little hardship as such a
capture admits. Within a circle of
strong stakes, not very closely planted
sheep or a goose is confined. At u
distance of sixteen inches is an outer
circle of stakes having an entrance
eighteen inches wide. The path be-
tween the two circles is we'll beaten
down. The door of the outer one,
which folds back against the inner, is
set invitingly open.
In marches the cautious wolf, pursues
the path till he comes to the back of the
open door, pushes against the yielding
obstacle, and by SO doing closes the
entrance against himself The latch
falls al the impact of the door against
the doorpost, and he is hopelessly fast,
unable to touch the decoy animal of
the inner circle, or to leap over the
strongly planted poles of the outer
one. Thus ingloriously kidnapped,
the victim is soon dispatched.
A complaint has been made that re.
wards which the French Government
now gives for the slaughter of wolves
are so small in comparison with those
paid of old. But large rewards some
times do more harm than good by ma
king it too much the interest of the
mercenary troops to slaughter the foe
with due respect to the desirability of
having always plenty of foes to slaugh-
ter If all the stories are true of the
alarm and damage caused by wolves, it
is not unreasonable to think that those
exposed to be sufferers might assist in
their extirpation without the stimulus
of fee.
Many parts of France, it is true, are
highly favorable to the wants and habits
of the wolf, but against modern skill
and modern weapons it is hard to be-
leve that it could hold its ground with
out the connivance of sportsmen, or if
the government were earnestly resolved
to be rid of it.

Altering the Programme.

A young masher, walking up and
down the platform of railway station
in Scotland with a companion who had
come to see him of, observed two
handsome girls enter first class car
riage.
Look here" he said to his com.
panion, who did not pay much atten-
tion to his dress, I'll get into that same
compartment, and I'll tell you what L
want you to do. When the train is
about to start, you come up and touch
your hat, and say to me. My lord, the
guns and dogs are in the van.'"
His companion smiled assent, but
said he doubted if he could do it with
the proper air of nobleman's servant.
The masher took his seat with o
lordly air in the same carriage with the
young ladies whose interest he wished to
excite. The moment arrived, and tho
train began to move, when his COM
panion came up to the carriage win
dow.
Hey, jock" he shouted, "tell your
master to be sure to send thae trousers
o mine by Saturdayr'-the young
masher having to reconcile himself as
best he could to be regarded as tail
or's apprentice.

The Funeral Sermon Waits,

Among the peculiar people of the
Cumberland Mountains, in Kentucky
no funeral sermon is preached over a
deceased husband or wife till the death
of the widow or widower Then a
minister is sent for, friends and neigh
hors are called in, and the respect is
paid to both together
Stranger still, according to the author
Of THE Blue Grass Region of Ken
lucky" is 1.-The custom of having the
services for one person repeated, so that
the dead get their funerals preached
several times, months and years after
their burial. I heard the pitiful story
of two sisters who had their mothers
funeral preached once every summon
as long as they lived.
On the other hand they wholly neg
lect the graves. never visiting them
when once closed, nor decorating them
with any of the usual symbols of aAec,
tion.
Tradition assigns the origin of these
people to 1.-The early hunters who came
into the mountains when game was
abundant, sport unfailing, and living
cheap. Among them now are st!!,
hunters, who know the haunts of bear
and dear, needing no dogs. Even yel
they prefer wild meat-even 'possum'
and coon and ground hog-to any
other.
In Bell county I spent the day in
the house of woman so years old.

rifle; and now, infirm. had but to sit

II Never Varied q Second

AS they passed the City Hall they
all pulled out their watches to COM
pare them with the municipal time.
The Price Hill man slipped his hunt
ing case into his pocket again and re-
marked: You may say what you please
about fine timepieces, but I've got n
cheap clock up at the house that I
bought 90 years ago that has never
varied second from the day L bought
it to this. "
"What?" painted the crowd.
That's right bought it 20 years
ago for 50; took it home. placed it on
the mantel, set its hands, and wound it
up-and from that day to this it has
not varied second" =, r.,

Not q second?" ~
No, sir, not second" said tue man

Hawaif's Standing Army.

The standing army" of Hawaii in
time of peace consists of seventy mon.
When the dogs of war are let loose it is
swelled as high as two hundred men
sometimes. The Hawaiian army rarely
stands. however. 1t prefers to sit down
when it is not on the dead run for
cover. Every man in the army has q
different kind of uniform. The equip.
ment consists of almost every sort of
noise producer, from bulldog revolvers
with bark like the bull of Bashan to
the matchbox that Captain Miles Stan
dish used to kill Indians with. If the
rank and file take notion to obey the
order of their superior officer, we'll and
