DRY GOODS.
TOMORROW, FRIDAY, is OUR REG
ILAR REMNANT DAY.

Every Friday and again we have something
to say about REaINANTS-na turally-its
the day devoted to that purpose. Other things
if you wish, of course-but REMNANTS
have the right of way every Friday, rain or
shine, from January TO December 81. The
day never varies, but the sales do. The
counters are ever-changing. As fast as the
remnants show we hurry them of to their
special place, with prices so clipped that you'd
scarcely recognize them.
All of you know our remnant day-the
long center counter in every department piled
with useful, seasonable things. You've saved
dollars and dollars there.
We go through the stock with the sharpest
eyes, Everything bit lonely in color, or de-
sign, or style-every short length or odd piece
of Dress Goods. Silk, Drapery Stuff, Linen,
Ribbon, Lace and the likc-all broken lines
and odd sizes in Wraps, Dresses, Underwear,
Hosiery, Corsets, Shoes, Mems Furnishings,
and so on-Bric-a-brac, Glass Ware, China
Ware, or anything soiled, mussed, scratched,
and in anywisc defaced from handling or dis
playing; in short, anything that is out of the
regular in any department goes to the REM
nant counter marked for what it'll fetch.
You see this keeps our stocks perfect fresh,
complete all the time. Economical folks best
know the Importance of these sales, because
they ofttimes get just the thing wanted at
third to half its actual worth. We want to
push out every struggling piece or bit-espe-
cially anything that savors Of summcr-to-
morrow, so we've fixed the price just right. Ask
at any counter and you'll be sure to get some
thing useful. Often there is so little of this
or that we don't advertise it, because you may
be disappointed when you come and find it
gone. You'll find plenty OF the 'one-of-a.
kind" things if you happcG.to get here cary
enough. in no case is there certainty that
any special thing will be here for very long.
Everything, OF course, goes to whoever picks
it out first. The greatest bargains are in

CORBETT ON SULLIVAN.
Prospects OF Fight Arouse the
Pugs on All Sides.

Champion James j. COrbett thinks
that it Is huge joke for any person to
think that he desires the presence of
John l.. Sullivan in his corner on the
night of the prospective fight With
Mitchell.
"lf any person has asked him to be
behind ME ii is some practical joke on
the big fellow" he said last night to
reporter for the GLOBE. II have never
asked him to be behind me, and do not
expect to- In the first place, would
lot accept his services, even were they
protfered. In the second place, he has
no knowledge OF the principles OF spar
ring, and his advice to me would be
poor. Then again, am afraid of him;
that is to put him III such an important
position. John l.. Sullivan is no sparrar.
He has made his reputation from mag
niticent physique and bulldog style of
bluf1ing. The first he did not have the
common sense to take care of, and the
second was spoiled when it was called
in earnest.
sullivan takes every chance possible
to Say something about me. | have said

was half-afraid to box with me, because
he knew that if | had mind to | could
make him appear ridiculous. He is like
the dog which will growl at the others
until some one Of them takes a bite at
him, and then he will stop. That IS all
| r!ght about his saying that he had to
chase Mitchell ali over France and that
he had him whipped. Mitchell had him
| outgeneraied and Sullivan knew it.
What is the use of man giving eX-
cuses for not being able to whip man.
That is not what counts. 1t is the work
done which makes showing. Any one
can tell what he would do under GER
| tain circumstances, but how few are
| there who do as they say they could. |

| Sullivan to talk iii the manner lie does,
| but it is all that can be expected.
Sullivan says he is surprised at the
conditions which | have imposed on
Mitchell for fight. l would be fool

! pose Of getting Il fight with man who
| would place only a small forfeit up. |

be to a finish, and that the referee
should have no power to call the contest
off. Then came the finale which threat
ems to disrupt the whole proceedings.
The Disagreement.
"It is agreed, of course, that the win
her shall take all The purse" said Brady
confidently.
"Oh, no. said Mitehell,"I think there
should be division"
Brady said he wanted it to be all or
nothing. He was willing to permit
$1,000 of it to 60 to the loser for training
expenses. Mitchell. however, demanded
that the purse be divided-S0 and 20 per
cent. Brady would not agree to this,
and as an argument, said that
the purse might be $4,000, in
which case Mitchell would receive
$4,000 for fighting Corbett, which was
really $1,000 more than he was betting
on the outside. Brady, finally. on his
owu responsibility, agreed to let the
loser have S2.5000 instead of $1,000.
Mitchell, however. would listen to no
other agreement than he has stated
as to the division of the purse.
The meeting had to be adjourned

PANNELL THE VICTOR.
Smith Defeated in a Hard Three.
Mile Race.

SlnlCn DeieaCou In daPu Iuree-
Mile Race.
The last of the match races between
Ed Pannell and y. ID. Smith was skated
at the Edgerton street rink last evening,
and resulted liz victory for Pannell,
who thus WINS the series and valuable
gold emblem.
In anticipation Of an exciting race,
one of the largest crowds of the season
was present, and the contest was no
disappointment. Before the time for
starting brisk northerly wind sprans
up, which, by the time the men were
called to the line, had developed into
almost gale. Shortly after p. m. the
contestants came out prepared for the
struggle, and Smith, having won the
choice of positions, chose the side from
placed upon the opposite side of the
rink. and Starter Sam Longgo0d then
gave a moment of warning, after which
he sent the men off by pistol shot.
Both made good start. and the pace
set by each was hot. For two or three
rounds there was but little difference.
but Smith soon commenced to reduce
his speed, and Pannell crept up little.
AS soon ds Pannell found he was gain
ing he redOubled his efforts, and, stroke
by stroke, drew nearer. Shortly before
completing two miles Pannell had
almost closed the gap, and. with another
squirt, he pulled up even with his OPP
ponent. Smith kept gamely at his task,
however, and for the balance of the dis
tance the two men Skated together,
Smith leading and setting the pace.
An occasional squirt from Smith kept
the crowd in a state of uncertainty, al
though there was nothing then but an
accident that could prevent Pannell
from winning. The last few laps were
skated with the men in the same posi-
tions, and Paunell finished his three
miles in 1914 2-5, Il haIf-lap in the lead,
Smith completing the distance in 11:05.
William Martin held the watch for
Pannell, and o. Olson held another
watch on Smith. The Ice was in fair
condition. but the wind made the work
very hard for the racers. Pannell i'll
winning last night proves his superiority
over Smith in decided manner, under
the conditions that existed. 1t is posi-
bic that Smith can vanquish Pannell
under more favorable conditions, but
Pannell is undoubtedly the stronger Of
the two ana better all-round man on
the ice. After Smith and Pannell had
completed their race, Frank Crawford
tried two miles, and although the wind
proved strong drawback, he finished
the distance in 7:20,yer good time, con-

SULLIVAN'S SAY.
He Thinks That Windy Charlie Is
in Earnest.


CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-Atter reading the
dispatches from New York about the
coming Corbett-Mltchell prize fight,
John l.. Sullivan had something to say
on the subject. Il think Mitchell is i'll
earnest this time" he said, land that
the fight VIII be Il 90. | am surprised
at the conditions Corbett names. BY
what right does he require Mitchell to
put up $40, 000 III bulk in order to get a
fight. Less shan year ago Corbett Sc
cured match with me for the cham
DionShip, and his first deposit was 81, 900.
My friends told NE ! was fool to make
a match under those conditions, that
COrbett would put up his forfeit. go on
the road, make lot of money, anG then
bolt. | did not believe it, however, and
was willing to think that he was i'll
earnest. Corbett should give Mitchell
the same chance.
"AS to which will win the coming
fight. ! prefer not to say. fought both
men, and have pretty fair idea OF their
ability, but prefer 10 express no abSO-
Lutte opinion. Corbett has the advantage
of height and reach, but is no cleverer
than Mitchell, and the latter is the
sitter puncher. Many seem to think
that because Corbett punched me out he
is hard hitter. Such is not the case,
however. In the last round of our
fight, after my arms had fallen helpless
at my sides, it took at least ten punches
from him to knock me down and out.
Mitchell can do better than that, and
those who are figuring OH it being a
cinch for Corbett will be badly fooled.
L hope it is, because, as between an
American and foreigner, my sympa-
thieS, of course. will be with the
former. The fight will be long one,
lasting from twenty-five to forty rounds.
probably more, as it will be contested
on the jab-and-get away order. While
Mitchell's reach is short, he is so clever
that he will find a way to get past Cor

very narrow escape from death Wednes-

George Dawson, who is also at Biloxi
training for his fight with Tommy Ryan.
Wednesday morning dispute took
place between Dawson and his trainer
relative to the treatment Of yisi-

Alexander called Dawson ''bloody

when Goddard Sprang between them.
Alexander struck Goddard with pitch

WONDERFUL WORK.
Gives Harstone, OF Winnipeg the
Grand Challenge Prize.

WINNIPEG, Man. Feb. I7.-[Special]- l.
Nettleson's rink lost the Grand Chal-
lenge event by one point. The most ex
citing game Of the bonspiel was between
Nettletou and HarstOne. At the start
of the game the st. Paul rink
had the advantage and kept ahead
until the twelfth bead, the
score then being II to in favor of Net
Teton. On the thirteenth head Nettle-
ton lay five shots. When Harstone
placed his last stone he miraculouSly cut
out the TWO side shots by a heavy run"
and, wicking straight across the
"house." touched the third shot and laid
on the head. On the next
head Harstone counted three and
the game was then a tie. On the 1if-
teenth head, by the most perfect play.
Nettleton lay lone to the good" AT
the conclusion of the game, the six
teenth end, every StOno was played for
blood, and when the skipS came TO play
st. Paul lay three. Hardstone came
up and wicked OFF, the stone
laying on the second circle.
and caught it just right, driv-.
ing it through and curling in for shot
himself. He lay one. Netteton had
but one stone to play, and that was but
an easy draw anywhere within the
second circle. This weight was wrong,
and "ran beyond the house." The last
stone was Harstone's and he played
a ''Shot for his life' on the
most treacherous kind of Ice. He
made one "out-turn draw and
lay second shot, thus winning by one
point, Nettleton seemed to feel a bit
out of sorts, and did not play up to his
standard. Fairchlld, with few eXcep-
tions, played perfectly, and the same
can be said of Mcmillan. The game for
the WalkervilIe trophy was walk
away for st. Paul. The Nettleton
rink played perfect game, and
when stone was played by
McDonald's men they were quite driven
out OF position, and when they had
PLAYED thirteen ends had to cry hands
up" with a score of to % i'll favor of
the st. Paul boys, leaving them sure

are determined shall be first one. Two

ceed in getting big game. He will have
to do with a recent defeat charged to
him. and in contest in which he made
little showing. Of course. he can find
plenty OF third-rate boxers who will go
on with him. but there is no money in

BIXBY THE WINNER.
He Beats Wilder in a Very Pretty
Billiard Game.

Blxby won the billiard game last
evening in the Foley balk-line amateur
championship tournament. 1t was
feature game, for the reason that it was
between the two candidates who were
ON equal grounds at the foot of the list.
And it attracted just about as much at
tention among the lovers of the game as
though it had been between the leaders
in the race for the beautiful gold EN-
blem.
LII its fisrt stages the game was close
and interesting. Both played with ABOUT
the same speed, with Wilder slightly in
the lead. This continued until Wilder
had scored 2S, and then he seemed un.
able to get control of the ivories. They
broke wretchedly, and the leaves were
very dicouraging to him. But BiXby
seemed to gather strength from this
very circumstance, and he put up the
swiftest game he has PLAYED in the en-
tire series. He scored his 100 points in
thirty-four innings, when Wilder only
had 81 to his credit. BiXby made pretty
run at the very finish. He had 16 to
go and he run it out. He was heartily
applauded for the fine work.
