Mitchell AlhXeS His Signature to The
New Agreement.
The DUVAL CLUB FEELS HAPPY.
A New Hattie Ground VIII Probably Be
selected-Not Much Fear That the
Authorities Will Succeed In stopping
the Match.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Jan. 4-Mitchell
has signed the articles which he pre-
viously refused to put his name to. II the
governor interferes with the original plan,
the battle ground will be changed, the
exact location being unknown until the
morning of the fight.
Unless something OF a most unexpected
nature turns up the Corbett-Mitchell
battle will surely take place.
1t is probable that the original plan
will be fully carried out. but IL IL is found
impossible to pull the fight of in tho
arena in this city, a secret battle ground
will be selected somewhere within the
limits of Duval or st. Johns county and
the contest will go on as though nothing
had happened. This is the gist OF the
arrangements chat have been made with
In the last few days.
The only change suggested by Mitchell
when he signed the amended articles was
the limitation of the ground to the two
counties above named. This was agreed
To by the Duval people, and Mitchell
signed. The articles were the same as
those given TO Corbett, with the differ
ence mentioned, and were again signed by
him. Under these new cr3ditions each
man will furnish his own gloves.
Club Expects to Win.
Within short time legal proceedings
will be instituted by the Duval club test
ing the legality of the contest. Exactly
what these will be ii is not stated by the
club people, but as it is notorious fact
that no jury can be possibly found in
Duval county to decide against the battle,
it is pretty certain that the outcome will
be favorable to the club.
III Governor Mitchell then sees fit TO
step in and interfere, all plans for fight
in Jacksonville will be dropped and new
battle ground selected. The location of
this will, of course, be kept secret until
Jan. %. IL will puzzle the governor to
know what course to pursue TO prevent
the meeting.
license will be applied for which, un-
der the new city ordinance passed over
the mayor veto, must be granted.
Militia Scare Has Died Out.
For the first time the Corbett party
really believe that the fight will take
place. Local sporting men are happy,
and say that it is now doubtful that the
governor will interfere. Lawyers how
ever, think that he will, but say that it
will amount TO nothing, as he has no
ground upon which to act. The scare
about the militia being called out has
now died down, and those who were most
fearful are loud in their statements that
nothing of the kind will happen. Alto
gether, it seems as though the champions
of England and America would at last
come together and the question of su-
premacy be settled.

"This talk about Mrs. Lease and Gov.
ernor Lewellng is getting to be a chest
nut. The people don't know very much
about individuals. No man or woman Is
greater than the party he represents, and
Populists in particular are looking for
good government more than TO uphold any
man or woman. Half that is published
about current politics in Kansas Is false
and made out of whole cloth.
"Now, the statement that an armistice
had been declared, or any kind of an un-
derstanding arrived at, between Mrs.
Lease and myself, is false. The numer-
Gus reasons assigned for her removal are
batch No. 2. That had telegraphed a
member of the Federation of Labor TO
come to Topeka so we could go to Leaven-
worth to influence the action of the
federation for or against anybody's inter
est, is falsehood No. g.
THE statement that Nrs. Lease has
employed Judge Doster is lie No. 4.
Lilies are too abundant; life is.too short.
Who goes up or who goes down in politics
makes very little difference il the heaven
inspired principles of truth still go march
ing forward. The leader of today is the
follower of tomorrow. The pilot is easily
replaced. The ship is the same and
moves on"

New England is fortunate in the
number of authors who have caught up
in their own lives, and reflected in their
writings, the very spirit and essence of
the New England character. From
Cotton Mather and Governor Winthrop
to Hawthorne and Lowell, the list is
impressive enough; and since the publ
cation of Pembroke" which is just
completed in Harper'S Weekly, it is no
longer possible to deny to Miss Mary E.
wilkins place, in equal companion

authors.

LetterfrOm FennviIle.
FENNvILLE, April Goth.

fENNNlLLE, April SUtn.
To The Editor:
| noticed in the Gobleville cores
pondence short time since an item
which read something like this: ELDER
Hart is holding revival meetings over at
Fennville, but as near as we can learn
there is nothing there To revive" Now,
we are at a loss to know whether your
correspondent means To insinuate that
us Fennvillians are too far gone for re-
demption, or SO good that we can not
be made better. Our opinion, however,
is that he didn't know what he was
talking about, and made the asser-
ton just to keep up his reputation of al
ways being on the contrary side of the
fence. Ii may be possible that in the
great hereafter when, "The books are
opened" he may get a job as assistant
Judge of the world, but we doubt 1t.
AS the result of the revival meetings
just closed here, about one hundred and
fifty souls were converted, of which
eighteen have united with the +. b.
church and thirteen on probation at the
Nj. +. church. The remainder is still at
large. As business center, Fennville
is fully up with the times. A large
majority of her citizens are thorough
going Republicans, who believe in the
protection of home industries. AT the
poll they arried everything before them
but of course that wouldn't be welcome
news to your correspondent. He isn't
built that way. Yours, for prosperity

CHURCH SIOOkS.
The Uncauny Mystery That bothered
Some Pl.fIadclphiuns.


The announcement that some white-rcbed
figures, supposed to be ghosts. were to he
seen in the windows Of the old chapel Of
the Epiphany Church, at 18th and Wirton
streets, Philadelphia. caused a full-f1edged
mob to descend on that section of the city
last night. Curious people came from all
sections OK the city. and by o'clock the
little thoroughfare back OF the building was
TANNED with a crowd. rs usual the mys-
FERROUS objects could be seen futtering from
window to window and the spectators GaZed
in wonder. Winton street was 20 full Of
in and out OF their houses. A squad Of police
was sent for. Several officers under Lieut..
Tomlinson soon dispersed the crowds, and
then proceeded to investigate the case
The figures at the window could be plain
ly seen, but Sexton George Gorrcll assured
the policeman that there was absolutely
nothing supernatural about them. TO thor
ouglly convince them he took the lieuten-
ant inside the church. The two searched
the chapel from end to end and found moth
ing. There was no way for any one to en-
ter or leave the building. So another in
ves:ig9 tior Wos made that solved the mys-
terry.
y was noted that the supposed ghosts an
pcared generally about the time the trolley
cars turned up Jackson street into 18th
street and n few observations were taken
Ii was soon seen that the hideous looking
figures were merely the reflections from the
bright Eight Of the trolley cars. Just before
the cars turned the Gorne- the light falls on
the fourth window, and It is here that the
rluch-talked of spirits generally appear.
cars were responsible fo9 the haunted
chapel. Three officers remained on guard
until midnight to keep the people away
