Crossing the room to where Jackson
was sitting Corbett said to him:

''It's about time you did" replied
Jackson. This angered Corbett and
each called the other buffer.
II am too much of gentleman to
call you a liar" said Corbett when
jackson said Jim did not want to fight.
Then each called the other more names.
jackson positively refused to fight in
the South, and Corbett offered to fight
him to finish before the National Club,

DAY TURNED INTO NIGHT.


Early Monday Afternoon and Spread
Consideration Throughout the City.
Philadelphia Record, Tuesday.
A thick, oppressive darkness, which
for few moments resembled a total
eclipse of tue sun, came over Philadel-
phla shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon and formed a fitting culmlna-
ton to the threats that the clouds and
the wind had been forcing ON the popu-
lace all the morning. The appearance
Of an ordinary dark thunder cloud on
the southwestern horizon was the signal
for the extraordinary state OF affairs
which ensued, for rapidly the sun
seemed to lose its illuminating power,
and by 10 minutes paste o clock black

and each asked the other what was
coming; but no one knew. The rain
seemed unaccountably to hang off, and
the strange gloom, coupled with the
general distress, seemed TO presage
nothing less than an earthquake.

II was impossible to see rope, and in
calculable damage might be done by a

when the boat was taut. Business houses
and dwellings were in gloom. Dynamos
were started to give light TO the differ
ent business houses where work had
necessarily stopped. Trolley cars were
lighted; ignorant and superstitIous peo-
pie were frightened half out of their
wits, and the end of the world was
freely predicted in the southern section
Of the city.
However, all speculation was ended
IN lew more minutes, for the rain
began coming in large drops, and for
live minutes the water fell in sheets
while vivid lightning and crashing
thunder formed the stage setting. The
darkness melted away and the sun, as
bright as ever, dcigned to beam again

THE WEATHER MAN AsToNIsmED.
The weather man in the top Of the

its cause, Mr.. Dey concluded that the

A pretty story of baby's influence
over fallen women in Russian gaol
THE gaoler was Colonel ", and he
and his wife had just arrived to take
charge of large prison in one of the
central provinces. The colonel was Il
terrible disciplinarian, but kind
enough man in his way. His wife was
gentle enthusiast, who had made up
her mind to reform all the women pris-
oners. This particular gaol had very
bad reputation, and the women espe-
cially were often in mutiny. Colonel
V. got along famously with the men,
but the women were too much for him,
and he meditated tlogging and all sorts
OF terrible measures. Once Madame v.
took d walk through the prison yard
when the women were exercising. Be-
hind her walked nurse with her baby.
The prisoners, as soon as they got sight
of the baby, tlocked around, and
Madame ", at first fearing violence,
was relieved to see that only babiolatry
was the matter. First one and then au-
other of the women begged to hold the
child a moment; some laughed with joy,
and many shed tears. Madame V. had
a happy thought, and she spoke it out.
