Split.

The Latter Denies That There Has Been
Split.
The reported split between Ed Corrigan
and George v. Hawkins, the well-known
turfmen, contained in dispatch from
Chicago yesterday, created some interest
in local turf circles for several hours. 1t
made the prettiest kind of story, but that
was ALL 1t was. not true in any detail,
and now local turtles interested in the
coming battle between the Bay District
and the new track are wondering who
''doped" the dispatch.
The comfy, the special had it, hereto
fore existing between Hawkins and Corri-
gan had been ruptured, the former declar-
ing as a reason that Corrigan had retained
$4,000 of the fund pooled for racing pur-
poses.
A. NJ. Allen, who is building the new
track, doubted the report in the dispatch.
To satisfy himself in the matter, he at
once telegraphed Hankins asking him If
the report was true. Last evening he re-
ceived telegram which settled the whole
matter. 1t was signed George V. Hankins,
and simply stated: at is not so.'
Now the racing world can breathe easier
for while at least

CHAMPIONS OF THE RING
Fights That May Be Held In Texas
When Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons Meet.

Sam Fitzpatrick, who is the manager of
Lavigns, the famous lightweight pugilist
states in a letter to friend that it is al
most certain match for the lightweight
championship of the world will be made
in few days between George Lavigne and
Jack McAuIiffe, to be decided at Dallas,
Tex. on the evening previous to the big
fight between Corbett and Ntzsimmons.
Fitzpatrick is authority for the statement
that Peter jackson has announced his in
tention of being at the ringside purposely
to fight in any place where protection is
guaranteed.
Now the telegraph conveys the informa-
ton that Dixon of Boston and Plimmer,
he champion feather-weight OF England,

DEAOONESSES MUST PAY.
Manager vining Refuses to Allow These
Charitable Women of the Metho-
dist Church to Ride Free.

Until the 1st of January of the present
year the deaconesses of the Methodist
church were allowed free travel on all the
cable and electric roads owned and con-
trolled by the Market-street Railway Com
pany.
At that time an order was issued rescind-
ing the passes then out, issuing an edict at
the same time that these ladies must in
future pay their fares or walk. In April
last Rev. Drs. Hirst and Ollie called on
Manager Vining to see if some arrange
ment could not be effected by which the
deaconesses would be allowed to ride free.
The point was made that the sisters of the
Catholic church were not called upon to
pay their passage, and there was no reason
why other ladies engaged in benevolent
work should be called upon 20 do SO.
Manager Vining refused at first to listen
to any protest, saying that nuns did not
ride on passes, but on their dress, and that
the dress of deaconesses was not distinc-
tive enough. It9was then reported that a
badge would be given deaconesses, which
would allow them the privileges of the
road free of cost. All they had to do was
to display the badge.
1t turns out, however, that badges have
never been given the ladies. Manager
Vining is now in the East, but an inquiry
at his Office yesterday disclosed the fact
that the Market-street Com pany never had
the slightest intention of issuing badges to
the ladies, though they were led to expect
such courtesy at one time. 1.-THE only
people given badges" said Mr.. Vining'
chief clerk yesterday, ''are regular EN-.
ployes of the road. 1t is not probable that
badges will now or at any other time be
issued to ladies'"

THE Atchisen Champion in com
menting on an article in the Lawrence
Journal deploring the notorious and
outrageous" custom of appointing con-
cubines as enrolling clerks, says: Per
haps it has largely oyerestimated the
evil, but there comes to mind two noto
rious instances of that kind in the Kan
sas legislature during the past dozen
years and each Of the two men has
since been nominated for positions of
honor and profit, and each was elected.
The evil begins in the resolution to
employ two or three times as many
committee and enrolling clerks as are
necessary and then follows an army of
women who look upon the legislature
as legitimate prey. Ii Governor Morrill,
attempts to cure that evil he will have
the hearty CO operation of great ma
jority of the present legislature, and
that will end the entire business The
inside history of the legislative commit
tee and enrolling clerk business in
Kansas for the past fifteen years would
create sensation by the side OF which
the Breckinridge Pollard scandal would
pale into insignificance.
