 It would provo of interest in commercial circles if the proper officials in the post office department would dsign to explain why the issue of smaller sized postal cards. those suitable for enclosure in ordinary sizes of envelopes. for replies. has been stopped. To merchants and others asking for brief reports to letters the narrower and shorter postals cards are more convent ent to inclose. because they can be sent ln either of the sizes of envelopes customarily used
 The only existing size of postal card is too large to fit into any but the largest sized envelopes for commercial purposes. and merchants who have been trimming the blank edges of the large cards Tn order to make them fit the envelopes are informed by the department that such trimming. even on the unengraved blank margins, constitutes mutilstion and that mutulated postal cards are not msilable as such

Jim Corbett VIII Fight Their Man Any
way They May Desire-He Arraigns the
Titled Snobs.
Chicago, May 16.-'If the National
Sporting Club, Of London will give a
purse of any amount from a farthing
to $1,000. l will box Jackson for 1t in
the arena" holly declared Champion
James J. Corbett last night. The
London club is made up of q lot OF
frst-ciass snibs, whose only claim to
recognition is the possession Of a lot
of titles. many of which no self-re-
sDecting man would care TO carry. l
have been there and know what | am
talking about. They are the fimsiest
excuse for men and sportsmen that
ever disgIaced a community and the
big Californian's eyes blazed as he
heaped excavations on the devoted
heads Of the Queens nobility.
The champion was angry through
and through while discussing the lat
est phase in the pugilistic situation.
Jackson's remarks and the refusal of
the National Sporting Club TO give a
purse for him and Corbett was what
particularly raised the latter's ire,
and when asked if he would pay any
attention to the clubs demand for an
apclogy he could scarcely contain him
self
What! apologize to that crowd?'
he demanded. Never, for they owe
me more Of an apology than do them.
It is the most ridiculous thing | ever
heard of. They, the titled swellS of
English aristocracy, can never make
me believe they are half so manly or
honest in their intentions as I an.
and l refuse TO pay the slightest at
tentiOn to them unless they wish to
bring about a meeting between Jack
son and myself. l had not the slight
est idea that the snobs over there
would refuse me a purse, for there
was not the slightest preteXt on which
to chang such a suspicion. l do not
speak bOastfuily y Ell | say that jack
sen and l would be the greatest card
the sporting world has ever had in
box Office sense, andsI did not suppose
the National chappies would turn me
down. because, according to them, l
owe their organization an apology. Its
members profess to think that jack
son would have an easy time defeating
me, and have been so outspOken in
their dislike of me and friendship for
the black man that I declined to treat
with them. my friends fearing l would
not be given an even chance.
Il am willing to allow them to wit
ness Jackson slaughter me, and will
sacrifice myself eagerly that they may
gaze upon my humiliation at the hands
of the Australian. I'll do that just to
he obstinate, because, in view Of re-
cent developments, I cannot believe
that they want to see me box in Lon
don. MY offer is this this I will meet
their man. for such he is. in Septem-
Der. if Fitzsimmons and I do not get
a battle ground, for any purse they
may put up. on their own terms and
i'm their own arena. That ought TO
be sufficient without an apology, which
I have too much self-respect and dig
nifty to offer to such a crowd for a
fancied ohense.
