CoRBETT'S MANSION. new financial
plank into the pugilistic platform. The
result is that Corbett has saved q large
part of the 500, 900 he is believed to have
made since his career in the ring began.
One evidence of his wealth is the $685.
600 mansion he bought not long ago in
New York and gave to his wife as a birth
day present. He has also spent about $780,
900 in furnishing and decorating, making
his total outlay for home about $4,000
The residence is three story brownstono
front, and it's number is 1876 West Eighty
eighth street. The broad hall has pol
ished oak floor covered with dainty Turk
ish rugs, and the imposing staircase is
also of carved oak At the rear Of the hall
is the dining room, with it's polished oak
table and sidcboard, its leather upholster
ed oak chairs and it's cleaning china and
cut glass.
On the second floor is Mrs. Corbett's
boudoir, which is finished in blue. Back
of this apartment is tho Turkish room,
which is the feature of the house As its
name implies, it is a model of oriental lux
uriousness. The bathroom is another fea-
ture. 1t has floor of glazed white tile
and big porcelain tub with silver plated
trimmings Corbett, who is q great be-
lever in the health giving virtues of cold
water, takes u dip in the tub every morn
ing and says his bathroom is the finest he
has ever seen. There is billiard room in
the basement and a gymnasium in the
cellar. Corhett also owns real estate
valued at $33, 900, has paid off q $4,000
mortgage on his fathers house in San
Francisco, and is a member of the pros
porous theatrical firm of Corbett s. Brady.
His new residence is the finest ever owned
by pugilist. The champion is not so
great n singer as he is pugilist and
money saver. His wife says that when she
plays the piano in the Turkish room Jim
gets the words of the songs all right, but
betrays d weakness for singing everything
to the same tune.

Father Bill Days Cork Leg.

Father Bill DAILY, who was recently
ruled off the turf, is very ''horsy'' man
IN appearance, habit and smell. He is a
short, wiry man of 80, with black hair and
q pugnacious black mustache, in both of
which the color of age is just beginning
to appear. He carries himself in thorsyn
way, talks "horsy'' and is 'horsy." He
is picturesque in makeup and expression.
He seldom wears coat, and while admit
ted to the inner circle of reputable horse
owners is content to spend most of his
time in the stables sharing the pleasures
and hardships of stable boys and 'touts,"
The only ornament he wears is an ingen-
iousiy made cork leg which he once held
in tub of boiling water for 10 minutes to
prove that it was not hot enough to boil
the soreness out Of a horses feet. He won
$25 from an agent of the Society For tho
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals by do
ing so. The agent didn't know the leg
was a cork one.

Neuralgia and nervousness are fearfully
prevalent. There is no more painful disease
than neuralgia. Il indicates diseased state
of nerves and blood and the most terrible
suffering is often present.
Most everybody is nervous, and this is
more dangerous than most people think, for,
as in the case of the well-known S. w.
Anderson, Esq, of Warren, Mass, it is
very liable to lead to nervous prostrati n
and paralysis, if not cured. He writes as
follows about his wonderful recovery:
"Some time ago 1 was afflicted with
nervousness and neuralgia. The pins l
suffered were frightful. They commenced
in my legs and arms and then went to my
head and face. Finally 1 had a paralytic
shock on my right side which laid me up
completely.
II continued suffering the most terrible
agony from neuralgia and was nearly dead
with pain. l took everything ever heatd
of but got no better. l consulted four
doctors but they did me do good. They
said there was nothing but morphine pills
that would help me.
l took them for nearly year and was no
better but began to get even worse. l

he could cure me in one week., l staid
there three days and then went home.
"The day after got home was taken

suffering was more than could endure.

Of wheel.
Early this season Zimmerman was Of
fered large sum to turn professional and
race in Paris, where wheeling is the sport
of tho hour. He went abroad and was SO
long in getting into condition that the
Parisians began to believe that America
had ovcrestimated his prowess. This be-
lief Was given strength by the fact that in
two of his first races before he was fit the
champion was beaten by italian and Bel
gian riders. AS soon as he was in form,
however, he soon demonstrated that tho
professionals of all Europe were not even
in his class. He has defeated every man
of Importance in France and England, and
press and public haveicrowned him king
of all bicycle riders.
Zimmerman's manager, w. B. Troy,
declares that Zimmerman is earning mon
ey at the rate of $4,000 year and as
cribes the champions success in part to
the fact that he possesses an abnormally
large heart. Doctors have expressed the
opinion that Zimmerman's heart is 2
inches longer than the average and that
it's great capacity for hard work gives him
his remarkable staying powers. There is
nothing of the jockey about Zimmerman.
He invariably rides to win, and when he
loses, which is very seldom, he makes
