The New York WorldS London csbie
sass: Oscar Wilde, after be vas sentenced
Saturday, was taken to Holloway jail ~
the northern part Of London. There al
his money and valaabfes were taken avsy
ftsn him by the warden. He vas strip
Pei to the shirt, and IN ofiIcsr wrote
down in the prison register minute &C.
count Of his appearance, the color OF ms
eysa, bair and complexion, and any pecu-
liaritiss, such - : broken finger, tattoo
marks, moles, etc.
Then Wilde was put into . hot bath,
ard his shirt, the last vestige Of his days
Of freedom, was removed. Emerging
from the water, he found . full suit OF
prison clothes ready for him, from under
liaen to loose shoes and hideoos Scotch
can. His clothes are of dirty drao
canvas, plentifully adorned with drao
arrows. -.
shortly afterward Wilde ate his f1rst
real prison meal, an allowance OF thin
porridpe and small, brown loaf. he
was taken to-day to Pentonville, hard oy
the Holden viaduct prison for convicted
criminals. He was examined physically
with great care, since upon the medical
officers report will depend what labor
he is to do.
If passed sound and fit for ffst-class
hard labor he will take his first months
exercise on the tread wheel six hours
daily, making an ascent of 5000 teet'
twenty minutes continuously and then
five minutes. The necessity for q com :
plete medical examination is obvious be-
fore man is subjected to this labor.
Wilde will be subjected to ausculatien
and percussion, and thoroughly over
hauled before the decision is made. A
Government inspector will visit him once
q month and hear any representation or
complaint, and visiting committee 81
London magistrates will call frequently at
the prison for the same laudable purpose.
On his release, Wilde, if he has worked
we'll and behaved we'll, will have earned
the magnificent sum-of 10 shillings.
While Oscar Wiide's case has absorbed
public attention the records of the Lon
don Police courts show that persons &C.
cused of the offense for which he is COM
mitted come frequently before the magis-
trates. On the very day he was convicted
John Gocdchild, % years old and said to
have good education, was sentenced to
two years at hard labor for the identical
crime. The Judge remarked that nc
country could remain great while such
persons were allowed to live free in it.
He believed, indeed, that they should
not be allowed to live at all.

Bismarck Was a. Sincere q Woosl
as q Statesman.

Bismarck was not in his younger days
devoid of the Napoleonic art of writing
love letters. He was an energetic wooer,
whose stern will bore down the opposi-
ton of the parents Of his beloved.
The lady was the daughter of Heinrich
Won Puttamer, rich Neither Pomeranian
landlord. Her parents were very unwlll-
ing to allow her to wed young Bismarck,
who in those days showed more signs Of
being q mere er-guzzling and meat
destroying giant, like his great-grand.
father, whom he so much resembled, than
the first statesman of the Continent.
For Bismarck was sad dog as young
man; he liked rything big-big pipes,
big dogs, big stems of beer, big carousals
especially the latter-and was considered
no fit match for the daughter OF pious
house. Not the least Of his offenses was
the record of over 80 duels fought il
his student days; for he was famous
swordsmar, as well as shot.
Princess Bismarck, probably next te
the Chancellor's mother, it was who made
him great man. She had serious view
of life, quick wit and plenty of intelli
gence. In his correspondence Bismsrc1

Combat.
Hot Springs. Ark, Oct. 2S.-The mes
sages going abroad from the local and
| visiting sports to their friends vary
somewhat from Saturday night, when
they read:
Come on and take chances on fight,
or fizzle."
Today they are worded:
''On a trip from Hot Springs from
| the inside sufficient notice of time and
| place of fight will be given to enable
people as far distant as New York to be
present"
There is considerable apprehension
that FitZsimmons may be arrested be-
| fore reaching this county on the charge
| of coming into the state for unlawful
purposes, and the mysterious attitude
of the governors scouts here who say
that his excellency knows just what to
| do and when and how to do it, does not
tend toward allaying this feeling.
Among the arrivals last night We're a
number of wellknown sporting men
from Virginia, Alabama and Texas. but
the eastern, middle and western states
fraternity are fighting shy of their trip
in the. absence of advices absolutely
definite.

members of the combination which are
here will go from Rochester TO Hot

says acccrding Ito the telegram from
Vendig the fight will probably take

! Speaking of the fight Davies said to-
day that if Corbett and FitZsimmons
do not come together the general public
would take no stock in either of them.
He says that it Will be bad policy not

promised to marry her. Matters moved
along smoothly enough until a hand
some widow from Lebanon appeared
upon the scene and laid seige to the
affections of Siebert.
With the Inconsistency of his sex. he

WILL RESIST TAXATION,
Railroad Companies object to Paying for
Cars Not Used.

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. 2S.-Judge Nc
Pherson handed down an opinion today
In tine case of the City of Harrisburg
against the East Harrisburg and Citi-
zens' Passenger Railway companies, in
which he holds that the act of 1891 au-
thorlzes the taxation by the city of
each car used on the lines during the
year. The companies must pay S. a
year for each car, or "a total of $4,1SO
for 1894.
They resisted the claim on the
ground that If the tax could be imposed
1t could ,rct be levied on cars which
Were only put into service occasionally.
