WILL BE A STIFF FIGHT.


Each other Gently.
The bout between Jimmy Barry, OF
Chicago, and Jack Madden, Of Brooklyn,
at the Empire Athletic Club, on Monday
night, promises to be a very interesting
affair. The contest will practically set
tie the 105 pound championship of Ameri-
ca. Barry is H. Western champion,
while Madden is the champion Of the
East. Madden since winning the
amateur bantam weight championship
has been climbing the professional lad
der at a rapid rate. His most notable
battle was with Johnny Connors of
Springfield, ILL.,, whom he defeated
easily. Barry was to have met Madden
on this occasion instead of Connors, but
the Western champion met with an ac-
cident in his bout with Casper Leon, and
in consequence it was necessary to fnd
a substitute. There is considerable diff
ference between Madden and Barry in
boxing tactics. Barry depends mostly
upon his rushing tactics and hitting
powers. while Madden on the other hand
is fairly clever, a good Judge of distance
and with an ability to hit hard. Barry,
Eastern sports have a great admiration
for him. and as this is his first appear,
ance in the East they will undoubtedly
form. The preliminary bout between
Jimmy Handler, of Newark and Harry
Fischer. Of Brooklyn. should afford as
prestige by besting Fischer. The lat
ter.h oweyer. is no easy mark for the
hands full. The Long Island railroad
will run special trains to the club house,
leaving Thirtyfourth street ferry at TAO
and S:20 p. NJ. and returning immedi-
ately after the contest.

sToWAwAY's CLEVER ESCAPE.

The steamship Persia, of the Hamburg
American Packet Company arrived at her
pier yesterday with a mlddle-aged man
as a stowaway, and although police precau-
tion was taken the fellow outwitted all
hands and succeeded in getting ashore. 1t
was when the vessel was one day out that
the unwelcomed passenger was found sleep
ing peacefully in the hold of the ship. He
was taken before the commander who or
dered him locked up until the vessel arrived
at her pier. When the Persia was locked
this morning the MAJ was still in c%onfine-
ment. He was then transferred to the
meat room and one of the crew was de-
tailed to watch the door and another went
for a policeman. When the officer arrived
it was discovered that the man had escaped.
He had squeezed himself through one of the
port holes and climbed to the pier. No effort
was made to trace the fellow. When found
he gave his name as Frederick Goebler and
said he wanted to reach friends in Scranton,

great nerve centres are promptly fed

Paine's celery compound is the one
great nerve feeder and nerve restorative.
BY its means all the functions of the

food. 1t encourages the body to manu-
faoture an abundant supply of this in
~dispensable vital force. without which
there can be no health. strength nor
happiness in living. From the lack of
nerve force men and women are driven
to dependency. m~elancholia. insanity
and suicide.

E~x.Bearder Who Wants Money.

Mrs. Mary Heuer, who says she is a
professional nurse, and resides at No. 81
Hudson street, Hoboken, called upon JUS
tice Seymour last night and asked for
the arrest of John Lebenan. a broom
maker. who she says once boarded with

She accuses Lehenan with sending her
vile and threatening letters written in
German. and produced the letters in

is an attractive looking woman, a fea-
ture of her makeup being a display of
diamonds. which she says she values at
81, 700. She wears. seven diamond rings
upon her hand. Mrs. Heuer has a great
batch of Lebenan's letters. He de-
mands money in them all, and threatens
to expose her in the even of a refusal to
comply with his demands.

ancy. Mrs. Heuer fears that he will kill
her, as he threatens in several of his
letters.

PIGMY NEGROES.
Caught in Traps by the Chinese and
Sold in Slaves.

The Little Negroes are the smallest
people in the world. with the exception
perhaps. of the black dwarfs o the
Congo. who are said to average only
four feet and two and one-half inches
in height. Owing to the extreme wild
ness of the little people and the difficult
ty of approaching them. they nave never
been studied to any great extent except
on the Adadaman Islands. There the
race has been kept particularly pure. no
intrusion by strangers having occurred.
At all events. there has been no settle
ment by foreigners, though Malays and
Chinese have for centuries frequented
the islands for the purpose of gathering
edible swallows nests. They have laid
traps for the natives in order to catch
them and make slaves of them. On this
account the pigmies have q practice of
killing mariners who chance to be cast
away on the shores. BY nature they are
gentle and kindly. Their morals are an
improvement on those of most white
people. Sexual improprieties are almost
unheard of among them. Marriages be-
tween cousins they do not permit.

mics are extremely delicate. the former
