GIVE FIrzsIMMoNs A CHANCE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS-SE: Why don't
jim Corbett give Bob Fitzsimmons a chance
at him2 As a reader OF THE SUN. ] earnestly
believe that FitzsImmons 10 tho only man In
the world who can give Jim CorLett a fight for
such handsome purses now being offered I;
and II he does not win the purse he will come
SO near to it that there won't be much fun in
it. for l really believe Corbett's beauty will be
dishgured in such q manner as 1t never has
been before.
Ny reasons for the above predictions are:
Bob FItzsmmons is tall and lanky. is strong.
fights hard and quick. different from Sullivan
ana Mitchell; and. In fact. he Is In the same
grade as jim COTbett and YOU can rest assured
That Corbett 10 little tlmid to meet Bob. for
he knows that Fitz fights something like him
his head like himself.
will bet my money on Corbstt TO defeat
Jack son and will bet my money on FItzsim-
mons TO defeat CoTbett-that Is. II they meet
Fitzsimmons can defeat Denver smith ard
for that TeasUn CoTOett should let smith take
a slide and give Fitz go with him after Jack
son. CoTbett ought TO be too glad to find such
easy money as Fitz money. and then again
the American public would embrace him for
defeating the conqusTor Of their only Jack
small for Corhetl, because he whipped Mltehsll
the man who bothered John L. sullivan. What
would We have TO do II he whipped Fttz Why
We would have to buy Hoboksn aud tie Ii on 10

Professor FaIb's Predictions.

Professor Falb, of Venice, made
another hit when he predicted that
Greece would have another earthquake
last Saturday. A severe shock came,
not on Saturday, but a few hours later,
at o'clock Sunday morning.
It will be recollected that the professor
early in the year predicted that there
would be terrible earthquake in Greece
on April Goth. The convulsion came on
time. and 400 people were killed, While
thousands were rendered homeless.
According to The New York Herald
tho new prophet is q scientist of high
standing. His success in foretellng
earthquakes will cause people to take
q good deal of interest in his prediction
of a tidal wave that will overwhelm
New York in July or August If such
q calamity should occur it would have
a. far-reaching effect upon this country.
The destruction of New York with its
concentrated wealth would transfer the
financial center elsewhere, and southern
ports would doubtless leap into promi-
nence in very short time.
OF course, Professor Falb may have
made two lucky guesses by accident, and
New York may escape herr threatened
doom. Still, it is a well-known fact that
the coast of New Jersey has been gradu-
ally sinking for the past one hundred
years, and it is possible that it will sooner
or later be swallowed by the ocean. In
that event, New York would probably
go down at the same time. But it is not
likely that the bulletins from Vienna will
depress the price of metropolitan real
estate or cause a wholesale exodus The
average New Yorker will have to be
shaken up pretty roughly before he will
abandon his property.

This method is not popular with the
