Is THIS MAN LEPER?
One Fellow with Spots on Him Appears In
Cincinnati.


Cincinnati, Sep. Am apparently
healthy looking man walked into the or
flee of the Ritter Preserving company
on West Sixth street Friday afternoon
and asked Mr.. Ritter for aims. His
face was rosey and his hands soft and
the preserve man was on the point Of
asking him why he did not go TO work
when the fellow took off his coat and
rolled up his sleeves. The mans arms
were covered with peculiar looking
sores and were dry and hard and seal
ed like those OF a leper. The sight
made Mr.. Ritter almost sick and he
turned away after ordering a clerk to
give the man some change. A short
while after Mr.. Ritter picked up
Times-Star and in reading over the dis
patches saw that a supposed leper had
escaped the authorities in st: Louis and
was supposed to be on his way to this
city. The peculiar appearance OF the
sores on the body OF the beggar the
day before answered the descriptions
Of those Of a leper and Mr.. Ritter re-
membered the fellow told him that he
had Just arrived in the city from St
Louis Saturday. Mr.. Ritter called at
police headquarters and told Clerk
Charley Vickers OF the circumstances.
The police in the different districts
Were notified and are securing the city
for the supposed leper. The man seen
In St Louis told the people he begged
Of there that he had recently come from
Texas and had once been on the leper
islands In the South sea. where a colo

await the time when the dread disease
Will eat out their lives.

CORBETT LOSES his HEAD.
This Is the Last Criticism Brought by Bob
FitZsimnOns.

Baltimore, Nd, Sept. 4.-Robert FitZ-
simmons, the champion middle-weight
pugilst of the world, who is to meet
James j. Corbett in the fight for the
heavyweight championship Oct. 81. ar
rived in Baltimore yesterday and stop
ped at the Carrollton. Corbett will be
here today, the arrival Of the two not
being an accidental coincidence, for
FitZsimmonS shows at Harris Acade-
my and Corbett at Ford's opera house
for the rest of the week through ma
nagerial enterprise.
Fitzsimmons' bag punching on the
stage last night was really wonderful.
AS he rained terrific blows with light
ming swiftness on the leather the sound
was that of the roll on kettle drum.
Fitzsimmons brought up with him
from New York Thomas Forrest, a
heavyweight pugilist, and the two
make good stiff set-to, which gives the
apsirant for championship honors an
opportunity to show swiftuess, clever
ness, leg, arm, head, body. and foot
work-in fact, to exhibit all his fight
ing ability except his hitting powers.
In an interview the following CONVEX
sation ensued:
Are you going to train yourself for
your fight with Corbett?"
Certainly. 1 always train myself for
any important fight. I have trainers,
but they obey mel will. as usual, regu-
late my own work, diet and hours"
Don't you flag at times by this me-
thod and require some incentive 10
work."
THE coming fight is enough to in
spire any sane man to train. About
one month before it comes off I shall
10 ~ do n I'd
now weigh about 10 pounds. but
shall be a few pounds light at the time
OF the contest. / am now doing light
work and do not want to take off
weight
In response to other questions, Fitz-
simmons said:
II feel that I shall certainly win. I
am not at all worried about outside in
reference"
What was the cause OF the recent
trouble between yourself and Corbett
in Philadelphia?
at was simply that Corbett and his
crowd wanted to do me up. / believe
the affair was thoroughly premeditat-
ed. am no bar-room rowdy, nor was
ever such. 1 am not going 10 be led into
any scheme which might mar my
chances to whip Corbett in the ring.

las?"
1T will have none with me, as l have
a head, while my opponent has none.
However. You shall see when 1 meet
him in the ring"
do you, then. think Corbett lost his
head when he fought Charlie Mitchell
and made such an onslaught Was
there no method in his madness?"
Il tell you, he lost his head quickly
and Will do SO again, and then-but ]
hope you viii be there TO see IL, for
what I will Go TO him will be plenty.
Fitzsimmons then nodded, smiled
good-aaturedfy, and proceeded % put
on his sparring dress. When stripped.
Fitzsimmons showed himself 70 be in
good condition. He Is sunourned and
freckles abound on his arms and shout

Big Fight to be Postponed.

New York, Sep. "A local paper an
nounces a probable change in date OF
the coming worlds championship con-
test between Corbett and FitZsimmons
as November 4, the date practically
set for the battle is just one day prior
to the fall election, making it impossi-
BILE for thousands who should attend
the carnival to reach their homes in
time to even vote much less to take
any active part in a political campaign
therefore it is said that the date Will
be fixed ten days earlier or later.
