''That dream settles Corbett," said Australian Paddy German to me the other day. 'Fitz never yet got a wrong tip from dream in his life. Fitz will whip Jim to a certainty, and in the four rounds, too, that he marked off.
 Paddy is no particular friend of Fitz. Indeed, he likes Corbett better, as he is one of the few fighters with whom the Californian has exchanged social courtesies Paddy speaks from con- viction, not from partisanship. Mick Dunn, young Griffo and all the other Australians talk the same way. American fighters, too, take great stock in Fitz and his dream, as do many clever, brainy sportsmen. The fight CTS, big and little, almost. to a man, favor Fitz. Peter Maher, Joe Goddard, George Dixon. Joe Walcott, Solly Smith, Danny Mcbride, Charley Kelly, Billy Trimmer, Billy Smith and Casper Leon are a few of those who think Fitz's dream will come true to moral certainty.
 Fitz has an amulet, too, upon which the Australians place great reliance and which they firmly believe will shield him from all harm. It is the tip of a lxangaroo's ear, and Fitz has worn it beneath his belt in every fight he has ever engaged He firmly believes in it's talismanic power, and between that and his dream Fitz thoroughly believes that he is invincible.
 The number of distinguished sports men and gamblers who share the Aus tralian's belief, passing their convic- tion as much, if not more, than upon his splendid qualities as a fighter, is sur prising. Among these are Pat Sheedy, Jere Dunn, Dink Davis, Gull Holland, of Albany, and Pat Scullen, of Troy
 Phil Dwyer, Mike Dwyer, Hattie Cor bett and few daring souls who have no superstitious beliefs are of the con- yiction that Corbett will win, but they are in the minority.
 | am not superstitious myself, but on the contrary view things from prac- tical standpoint. In this particular instance, however, 1t would not sur prise me one whit to see Fitz's dream realized. ARTHUR !. LUMLEY-

the house of Churchill to higher and more stable glory than it has ever yet attained. He proposes to become pre- mier of Great Britain some day. This consideration alone prompts him to be wary in taking an American wife, no matter how wealthy she be. It might be detriment to rising young poli- tician in England to have a foreign family connection. Besides, the dukes finances have decidedly improved of late. His investments have turned out well, and he is by no means the impe- cunious nobleman one might expect in view of the notorious Churchill prodi- gality. In fact, the duke is said to be if anything q little near" His stay in thls country will not be prolonged until the winter, as he originally proposed. His engagement to a fair young Ameri- can heiress is probability, but it is not as probable as it was. The Church ills are not money mad.

One of the best known industrial art makers now in New York is Miss Myra Burr Edson, of bill.poster fame. She is a western girl, with the proverbial western pluck and ambition. Her studies have been mainly carried on at the Artist-Artisan school, under the guidance of Walter Shirlaw and John Simpson. She started, as do most freshmen in industrial art, designing book covers. Excellent examples of her skill in this line of work appeared last winter in the exhibit of the Archi- toctural league.
 But" as Miss Edson said in recent interview, ito earn one's living in New York as an artist one must possess yer satility as well as talent It is impos- sible just to work along one line. Why, even men like Chase and Butler must put aside the ideal and paint portraits for a living. My most successful inno- vation has been with my bill posters The one that I did for the spring ex- hibit of the Artist-Artisans is, l be- lieve, considered the best. 1t is really very interesting work and I wonder that other women have not taken it up. The delight of it is that you can let your imagination run riot; and, be- sides, Miss Edson added, arching her brows, it pays"
 Miss Edson has done some really clever water-color sketches. One es- pecially pretty in color and technique is a corner of the studio occupied by herself and Miss Hicks, who has made a name for herself as art director for several we'll vn printing houses.
 The studio of these two bachelor maids is one of the prettiest in the city. 1t is up many flights of stairs from one of the most crowded thoroughfares, away from all the rush and roar, and as quaintly pretty as rugs from Hindoo- stan. draperies from Java and Japan csc sketches on the wall from the clever brush of Robert Blum could combine to make it.
 Miss Amy Mali Hicks, who is largely self-taught, is a Brooklyn girl. She is tall and rather delicately built, but showing both in manner and express sion an immense amount of force and determination. Miss Hicks first work Noo Wali E1pCi dhei collic LII her pronounced successes were shown at the Columbian exhibition. Finding that this work alone could not be made to pay she did metal tracery work for several years for the Tiffany company. The work in which she excels and which at present absorbs most of her time is that of directing the art work at various printing presses. All the fine work of the Lotus Press is done un- der her supervision. Her end of the business is mainly designing elaborate programmes, menus, whist cards, etc. To fill such a position satisfactorily a thorough grounding ia historical and ornamental art is necessary, as well as alxnowled0e of most intricate letter ing and all ability to conventionalize .ff1 s<7r,<,

 Baltimore will be made splendid by the presence of genius. Not mere ly are the lights of fashion to be asked there, but young men of marked abil- ity are to receive invitations to grace it's gorgeous apartments with their presence. This rather novel social de- parture is in strict accord with the natural bent of Mir. George Wander bilt's mind. The rich bachelor never took much interest III the frivolities of fashion. He hopes that the day will come when his countenance will as sure an indorsement of the budding ambitions of gegins.
 The learning, character and ability of Mr. Vanderbilt will qualify him for such post. He has signal capacity for the recognition of merit His ethnologieal studies enable him almost to detect genius at sight on principles not dissimilar to those close examiners in the wholesale tailoring establish ments. His studies of racial types lave resulted in the accumulation of valuable collections of masks and faces embodying every conceivable kind of physiognomy. Mr Vanderbilt's esti- mates of the rising young men in all fields of activity have rarely been CT roneous. His departure from social tradition will be watched with interest It is the first thing of the sort under taken in New York, and may result in revolutionizing the Four Hundred from an intellectual point of view,

The only objee- ton to him within the party is that he would, if elected, fill the executive mansion with the vivid results of his foreign travels in the shape of Belooeh- istan servitors, Afghan seneschals and oriental trappings.

consolable. A bright idea seized him. He collected sCraps of what was left and had them ingrafted in a new pair of trunks. He wore them in his famous fights with Jem Carney, of England, and Young Griffo, of Australia.
 Charley Mitchell, the English cham pion, had mortal terror of meeting a cross-eyed woman on day or night on which he was to box a limited number of rounds or battle to a finish. He looked upon such a woman as a sure precursor of evil. 1 remember well the night he was to meet John l.. Sullivan for the second time in Madison Square garden. Walking up Fourth avenue Mitchell met & cross-eyed, red-haired woman, and he almost fainted. He ran back around the corner like mad man. She's nailed me with her bad eye" he walled, mournfnlly, and I'm hoodooed sure"
 That night Sullivan was sick and could not go on. Charley laid the dis aster at the door of the cross-eyed woman

Each would always like to meet either one or the other when on their way to battle. They regarded such meeting as highly suspicious, to say the least, however angry the priest or sister might have been, ifapprised of this feeling.
 Big Joe McAuliffe, of California, would be delighted if he ran across q horseshoe when training for 8 battle. lie regarded it as a most propitious slgn and he would invariably throw the Shoe over the left shoulder Both he ana poor Jack Ashton, who has passed away, would be in mortal terror ot meeting a funeral procession on day set for battle. They expected to be whipped to certainty if such casual y happened to them. McAuliffe met x funeral cortege the night he fought faddy Slavin, of Australia, at the Ma elonal Athletic club of London, and he was whipped in round and half Jack Ashton, too, ran foul of fu- neral the day he fought George God arey, the last battle of his life, and be was badly thrashed.

 John L. Sullivan would only step into the ring with a green pair of tights, in the belt of which was concealed talis- man which his mother had given him.
 Paddy Ryan, on the other hand, was so fearful of punishment he would re- ceive at the hands of Sullivan that he obtained similar token and placed it next to his heart He hoped that this would prevent his being knocked out

The mat ter appears to have been finally ar ranged now to the satisfaction of all concerned, and although no formal an nouncement has been made, and the family will not admit the fact, it is ex- pected that by next year at the latest Miss Fair will be Mrs. Somebody or other. The young lady has been very popular in all that gilded coterie known as the exclusive set, and as it seems that marriage will only further establish the young lady as member of New York society, the metropolis has nothing to lose. Miss Fairs for tune is one of most ample proportions and her husband in prospect has an in- heritance fully equal to it. Congratu- lations seem to be in order

THE QUESTION OF REVENUE.

THE QUESTION OF REVENUE.
 IL is condition, not theory, which confronts the National administration. The condition is not new one, by any means, and it is one that not even a juggling with the figures of the treasury department will change. The adminis- tration has already borrowed SIP, ,000,- 900 and by the provisions of the last is- sue the gold reserve was to be preserved intact by the syndicate until October 1.
 A small shipment of gold to Europe last week concerning which Sec. retary Carlisle has nothing to say, has revived talk of another bond issue. The report of the treasury department for the fscal year revealed an admitted deficit of $44 100000, yet since the be. ginning of the new year the daily de. felt has been about $1 ,000, ,000 a day
 The increase of custom revenues, SC hopefully predicted by Secretary Car. lisle, has not materialized, although the importations have been largely in. creased. The evil and fraud encourag
 ing ad valorem system of levying duties makes it impossible to ascertain the exact value of goods which come here
 The undervaluation of importations

possible under the ad valorem plan, has already attracted considerable atten tion, but the remedy has not been dls- covered. The proposed reduction of custom duties was but fraction of the actual reduction. Under an ad valorem system the actual red uction in the tariff duties can never be estimated. The face of the tariff act may indicate cer- tain returns, but in practice it is inn possible to calculate what the receipts will be.
 It will clearly be the duty of the next congress to provide for additional reve- nues, and it is possible that before the arrival of the day for the meeting of the regular session another bond issue will be necessary. The difficulty which will arise when congress meets can be anti. cipated. The Republican majority will naturally proceed to provide for ad- ditional and needed revenue upon a business and en American basis. The president, just as naturally, with his usual obstinate disregard for existing conditions. will insist upon his vision. ary, theoretical and impractica ble reve- nue policy. The lesson of the failure of the German tariff act-which is not the act which the president sought to have passed-has no doubt been lost upon MT. Cleveland. That will be the con dltion to be met when congress meets. The president should make up his mind, after considering carefully the re- buke administered to him and his party last November, that his only wise and safe course is to turn the whole matter of providing the necessary re. venue over to the Republican congress. No other plan can be carried out. The people have turned the Democrats out of power and the Republican policy ol providing the necessary revenues is the one the country wishes to see put into practice as soon as possible.

USE OF ELECTRICITY

The recent triumph of electricity in California again opens the subject of utilizing the power at the Arizona Falls for the purpose of generating cleo tricity.
 The successful application of cleo. tr city generated by water.power 24 miles away to the street cars of Sacra. mento marks long stride forward for electricity as 8 mode of conveying power. The question how far power can be transmitted by the electric cur. rent without too heavy loss is one that has been discussed for many years. There have been those even who doubt :. ed whether electricity generated at Niagara Falls could be made profitably available at Buffalo-a distance much less than 24 miles.
 The waters of the American river will be utilized for power to propel
  Sacramento's street cars, for her mau- factories and for lighting purposes. An Immense dam has been built at Folsom. creating 8 reservoir three miles long, and horizontal double turbine wheels are used for applying the power to the generators. The cars are already run ming by electricity generated at this distance, and if the experiment proves wholly successful, the question of ap- plication of power at long distances may be considered settled.
 It is not easy to foresee all that this may mean for the near future, particu larly here in the Salt River valley. Il the water power which we have could be utilized for generating electricity there would be no end to the possibil ities. Power and lights for the whole valley could be furnished, and 8 net work of suburban electric railways could be constructed to connect every portion of the valley. This is an open ing for some contemplating capitalist.

THE BRITISH election system may be superior to ours in some respects, but part of what it gains in shortness of campaigns it loses in the wearying pro. longation of the voting. It takes us in America long time to get worked up to the point of casting our ballots for National officers, but the fact that when this is once accomplished we get through the voting itself between sunrise and sunset of single day is certainly some advantage.

OF COURSE, Secretary Hoke Smith is now opposed to the free coinage of sill. yer. All members of the Cleveland cabinet have to be, CT find jobsSelse. where; and If, at some time in the past they happen to have held and ex- pressed other views they must either, like Secretary Carlisle, exhaust their ingenuity in an endeavor to reconcile their earlier and later utterances or, like Secretary Smith, confess to a square aboutface. The control, in this respect. which the president exercises over his immediate political family is absolute; whether he can exert any thing like as great an influence over his party remains to be seen.
