N. Connolly VIII Come Down From
Pittsburg
And Try to Convince the "Mets"
That the Marshall Gallagher
Match is a Real Contest - Other
Sporting Matters Local and Tele-
graphic.

There is now a probability that the
Marshall-C Gallagher match Will De
pulled off under the auspices Of the
Metropolitan Athletic Club Michael
Connolly, Marshall's hacker, Will Do
down to-day, his mission being TO con-
vince the officials Of the club that the
contest viii take place on its merits.
IN q telephone message from Connolly
last night, that gentleman stated thac
he will deposit $500 as guarantees that
the two men will box honestly. The
date Of the contest has bean post
poned for q week, 10 await the result
of the conference which will be held TO-
day.
The club officials are open to conyic-
ton, and if Mr.. Connolly shows them
that they were in error in refusing to
have anything to 90 with the match,
there will be be no difficulty In ar
ranging to have the contest take place
at the Fulton club house.
The club officials are naturally IN
dignant about the charges made in the
Commercial Gazette. There was never
any reason for such sweeping alleSa-
lions of individual dishonesty ana I'M
fairness, and reflections upon the COM
munity. The local sports have been
anxious to protect their patrons from
fake" contests. and viii continue to
do so. The Metropolitan Club IS a
local organization, and is not depend
ent upon Pittsburg for its existence
Wheeling sports will not tolerate
fake" methods, and any effort on the
part of the club officials to insure fair
ness and honesty in the contests given
under its auspices, meets the hearty
approval of its patrons. In this mat
ter, as in all others Of like nature, the
Directors will be guided by their best
Judgment

ful and unique phenomenon which he
witnessed of tho Shore of Sakhalin is
land. The bright blue water was 80
clear that for long distance from the
shore he could see the bottom, and
even the fishes, shoals of which were
moving gently hither ana thither.
Above the swimming fish was a
strange phenomenon; the surface OF the
water was like dazzling snow. This
brilliant white surface, which extended
over an area of nearly square mile,
was not sca-foam, for with the excep-
ton Of the ocean swell, the water was
p.acld Gs q lake.
MY fricnd, seeing nay delight, mo-
toned me to hand him one of the rifles.
lie took no aim, but simply fired.
Instantly the air was full of skim
ming snowilakes, scintillating in the
bright apnshine against the deep blue
sky rightGcr the horizon, while the
surface Of the water ceased 10 be white,
and became uniform in it's blueness

LONG European rslephone llne..

While we have for some time past in
this country been talking easily over
telephone lines 1000 miles long, Eu-
rope is still in the earlier stages of such
work. London has for some time been
connected with Paris, distance of $40
miles, and Paris with Brussels, a dis
tance of 1913 miles, but, so far as known,
nobody has talked through to Brussels
from London via Paris, although this
kind of reaching onward is the first
thing an American telephonist thinks
Of, International jealousies stand in
the way good deal, and it is said that
there is little hope for the present of
uniting telephonically the cities of

and have just put up four silicon

MASSAGE FOR BLACK EYES.
BETTER Than Paint and roefsteak for OBJ

Better Than Paint and Bcefstenlk for OBJ
ilterat,ng Evidence OF Fistic Encounter.
Those who make q business of oblit-
Grating evidence of fistic encounters in
the shape of black eyes by painting the
damaged optics no longer enjoy a mon
opoly of such business. This was
told by pugilistic acquaintance whose
experience entities him to be regarded
as an authority on the subject, says a
writer in the New York Herald.
Massage treatment of the region af-
footed, he said, will beat paint and
raw beefsteak all hollow. But it should
be applied Immediately after the in
jury is received in order to prove
thoroughly efficacious. 1t does not re-
quire an expert to do it. All that is
necessary is to move the fingers rapidly
and firmly over the bruised surface
and to keep it up until the last vestige
of discoloration has disappeared. The
explanation is easy Where the blow
has been received the blood becomes
congested. 1t is the clots of blood
showing through the transparent skin
that produces the black effect. The
pressure of the fingers gradually
loosens the clotted blood, which passes
off into the general current of circula-
tion, and fresh and properly colored
blood takes its place."
However, as rule, the professional
''pug" does not bother himself about
aecelerating the disappearance of
black eye. 1t is a sign which proclaims
tho fact that its proprietor has recently
filled an engagement, and as such he is
an object of envy TO his less fortunate
brethren. 1t is the man about town,
whose ovcrindulgence occasionally
causes him to forget that discretion is
tho better part of valor, who is apt to
profit most by the knowledge that mas
sage, promptly applied, win remove the
signs OF mourning from an eye that has
been in violent contact with some other
fellows fist, and thus obviatethe neces-
sity Of inventing story to account for
it, which, however ingenious, win be

were surprisingly often coincidcnt with
the days upol which the most extern
sivo tides and other oceanic conrno-
tions were caused by the influence of
either moon or sun, or both. These
periods Prof. Fab distinguishes by the
name of ''critical days." because they
mark, on the enc side, periodical turn
ing points in the equilibrium of the
ncrsunic, piutonic and atmospheric
mssaes above mentioned, and on the
c.iier side afford the measure and
means for computing the degree and
eject Of lunar aud solar forces upon

The individual consultations effect

forces are: First, the perigree, tha. Is
the time when moon and earthar near

equatorial position; third, the peri
helion, when our globe is nearest the
sun; fourth, the suns equatorial posi-
ton; fifth, the syzygies, or new moon
and full moon; sixth, the lunar or solar
cclipses.
The coming year will be especially
notable for the fact of its three most
critical days being accompanied by
eelipses. In mentioning the dates in
the different order J and grades Of indi-
vidual effectiveness, Prof Falb takes
care to state that the results of the

TERRAPlN CATCHING.

Taken Most Ahuudantly I'm Cold Weather
Because of Their One Unvarying Habit.
NO successful method of catching ter
rapin in large numbers has yet been de-
vised. A kind of set net is sometimes
used, but with no remarkable success.
The general statement holds that ter
rapin are caught singly. At no season
of the year do the fishermen, who
make q side issue of terrapin, know ex-
aetly where to look for them. All their
movements arc aimless, and their only
habit which can be depended on is that
az buTying themselves in the mud at
the BOSTON, of the water during the
continuance of cold weather. In a
vaguc and general way this enables the
catcher to locato them, says David
Bruce Fitzgerald in Lippincotts Maga-
zinc. Accordingly, it is during the
cold months thnt terrapin are taken
most aburdantly. Selecting some part
of the by where the water is shallow
and which has muddy bottom, the
catcher, in his boat, moves slowly

SOME FOREIGN FAps.
Queor Practices That May Before Long
BE Imported.

Quoor Practices That May Before Long
Be Imported.
Several new fads are reported from
France, one of which is stilt-walking
for the elite. Such an amusement must
necessarily be practiced only in the
country, however, says the New York
Tribune, as even the eccentric grandes
danes of France would hardly care to
be seen walking on stills in the Bois de
Boulogne.
At house party up the Hudson a
short time ago half dozen pairs of
stills were provided for the amusement
of the guests and the attempts to mas
ter the awlward-loolfing affairs caused
much merriment One young lady who
had practiced the art in her childhood
evoked much admiration as she strobe
off with her attendant swain with
perfect ease.
Another report from the French cap
ital is to the effect that the abbreviated
costume which the Parisienne calls her
bicycle dress has been found SO COM
Portable that several women who love
to hunt and fish wear it habitually on
their country estates in the daytime.
They rejoice in the sharp contrast of
siliSen, lace-bedecked tea gowns and
the smartest of dinner frocks in the
evening. bicycles seem to have sue
ceeded in introducing in few months
what dress reformers have been vainly
trying to inaugurate for years, /. e.,
sensible outdoor costume for women.
Even in America it is now considered
the proper thing to wear a very short
tailor-made skirt with KniclSerbockers
and leather leggings for country
tramps or sports although to the cred
it of American women, be it said, that
extremes are considered vulgar. Our
really ''smart" women wear costumes
that are invariably ladylike.
Another new transatlantic idea,
which this time is English, is to have
dwarf trees as ornaments for dinner
tables, the florist having initiated sue
cessfully the Japanese method of pro-
ducing liliputian specimens of cherry,
apple and other towering fruit trees.

terminus to the agency, diatanoc of
one hundred and fifty miles. Tho men
who have been living off the Indians by
supplying all their needs for the past
quarter of century hate to see them
beginning to get on sclf-supporting
basis, for then there will be no more
money to be made out of them. For
that reason every obstacle is thrown in
the way and all sorts Of 1nisreprcsenta-
tions made by these parties vino dread
to see their occupation gone. During

from my own observation, | think that
he has thus far been very successful
