charity, recognized member OF society,

chief executive of the State. Vilihed py

Corbett and Jackson.
lam told that Corbett and Jackson
have been offered $4,000 by the EDISON
Company to go through half dozen
round fight for the kinetoscope. III that
is so they are very foolish il they do not
accept such generous offer. They would
only need to fight a sham battle, but the
trouble is, perhaps, that for the winu up
round one or the other would have TO
represent the knock out blow, and ac-
cording to newspaper reports neither one
is willing to concede that alleged honor
TO the other. In this connection
might be well to answer query
In regard to the relative merits OF
Mr.. Robert Fitzsimmons and Sr
James j. Corbett, which was put 10
me the other day. My views may not
coincide with those OF men who are
better versed in such matters, but that
does not count. In the event OF Corpett
and Fitzsimmons coming to blows ,conced-
ing differences in weight and past record,
there is very little doubt but that the
antipodean would come away with the
long end of the purse.
An ocean swell.
Yesterday was perfect day on the bay
ind those who took trip to Block Island
like myself enjoyed the very delightful
rocking in the cradle OF Old Neptune.
| The old man of the sea was in good
natured mood and with perfect rhythm and
paternal consideration he sang the song
which lulled to sweet sleep. There is
something about an ocean swell which Is
| grand and majestic. So different you
know from the city swell. There Is moth
| ing insipid or artificial about the former.
| All the characteristics of the ocean swell
are to be admired. He has hidden strength
and is robust to a wonderful degree.
Outside of land the ocean swell is more at
home and when in the mood can be most
agreeable. He dresses in dark blue coat,
a sea-gIeen vest, striped pantaloons OF a
color to match and sports white cap.
alt will all be changed in 1896, ;" said the
man in front OF the postofiice, as he
shifted his weight from one leg to the
other, ''and the people are only waiting
| to bury the corpse OF the Democratic
party il it will only keep as long. have
watched the outcome of the agitation OF
the several political parties for many
years, and j never remember anything
| quite so much in the nature OF wrecking
as the summer legislation of our Demo-
cratic friends. What a pity 1t was that
| Cleveland did not retire on the laurels oi
| first term without taking q second one,
and as has been amply proven get very
| much the worst Of it. He is like all letter
writer's, though. They generally wish
they hadn't"
Up in the top floor of the Industrial
Trust Company building is one OF the
neatest barber shops in the city. Mr..
William V. Bottom is the proprietor and
he knows how to cater to a fastidious and
exactfng trade. Hfs prices are regular; 10
cents for shaving and 25 Genus for hair
cut and when the work is finished you
| feel satisfied.
Mrs. Sallade of New York has made a
hit in her peculiar tactics as employed
against those people Of the tenderloin
| locality. The fact is, as J have many
| times before contended, tie Q was but
one effective way, and that was by the
landlord and owner route. The police
raids in small cities are farcical
to marked degree and have no more
effect in eradicating the evil sought than
pouring water on ducks back. The
oftener the raids are made by the police
the more do the police become convinced
that something more effective is neces-
sary.
The debate in the Y. NJ. G. A. Hall this
| evening will be interesting. The subject
| to be discussed --"Resolved, That bimetal-
ism be the monetary standard of the
United States" will call forth the best OF
argumsntative and oratorical effort. The
