AMONG THE BOXERS.

J. H. Pringle of Pittsburg does not take
kindly to Corbett's act in presuming to
hand the championship to Mahcr. The
Pittsburger says: zone Of the stupilist,
one of the most ridiculous and one of the
most untenable acts ever committed was
the act Of James ]. Corbett in prcsumin G to
present to Peter Maher the pugilistic cham
pioDship of the world. When Maher re-
piled: Il would like to fight for it, he
said what was true and what must be
under the circumstances. Peter Mahcr
cannot for one moment afford TO
be called champion under any such cir
cumstances; his, that Is, his true friends
must not and will not uphold the foolish
notion. / firmly believe that today Maher
is as much champion pugilist as any
man on earth and that is the very reason
why he should spurD any offer of u pre-.
seDtatiOn.'"
''Corbett won his title and SO did Sullivan.
They both have appeared before the public
as champions who Won their titles in the
ring. Maher will appear before the public,
and wouldn't 1t be capital for his enemies to
say, why, he is 4 tin-soldicr champion;
he never won a championship fight? That
would be the sentiEAcnt. and rs sure as we
live Peter Maher wants to prove to the
world that he is worthy of the title before
Claiming or accepting it. That is the Ameri-

Opposite the Central High School and Il

was operating without "a license, but Lacey
explained that lie had the money In his
pocket 10 go aud get the license. He had
been saving IL for the purpose. He claimed
to have been deceived by the date on the

Joke on the Senator.

Senator Stewart was day or two age
the victim of an amusing practical joke
The patriarchal champion Of silver went
into Pages cafe and had luncheon. WheI
the waiter presented the check for 60 cents
Senator Stewart handed him 4 $40 bill and
patiently awaited his change. 1t was some
time i'll coming, but when il arrived single
glance told the Senator there was plenty OF
1t.
There were five half dollar pieces, twenty
quarters, and nineteen dimes. The prophet
of free silver was about to utter an indig-
nant protest, when he caught the eyes ui
two or three bystanders and noted the
twinkle of amusement In them.
Then he swept the glittering pile into
big right hand, rammed 1t down in his
trousers pocket, and strobe out of the room,
without leaving tip for the waiter or a
smile for the audience.-Walter Wellman

This Smells Sweet.

The perfumers of Rome lived In a special
quarter set apart for their use, and whole
streets were filled with their shops, which
were lounging places for wealthy young
mobiles.
The use of perfumes became SO extrava.

that he issued an edict fOrbidding Athenians
to use them except in certain specified
cases.
Philip Augustus was exceedingly fond
of perfume. He invariably used it in his
bath, and when wearied with hunting or
riding would have a bottle of it poured
over his head.
Many perfumes are believed to be anti
septic in their qualities, and some physi-
clans entertain the opinion that more
liberal use OF them In the sickroom would
be beneficial.
England manufactures perfumes on n
very large scale, importing many Of the
materials from other countries, but also

can way; that is the manly way, and that
only is the true way.
But Corhett has no more right TO give the
championship title to Peter Maher than he
has to give ii to George Godfrey or Billy
Woods. No power On earth ever gave 10
COrbett the right to select champions. A
champion is one who has by merit proven
himself to be the best. and Corbett has no
more right TO issue an absolute decree as to
the comparative abilities of any fighter than
the man who prints the bills for his show
Why is an unbeaten man like FitZsimmons
ignored? Why. the thing is preposterous.
Fitzsimmons was matched to fight CorIiett
the champion. and many thought that FitZ
would win. Now, why shouldn't 'Fiiz.' be
called on to accept the championship? Echo
answers. 'Why?'
'.If COrbett desires to retire from pugilism
he will leave the championship in abeyancc
That is the rule and that Is the custom that
has become law. He has no right to say
that Maher is better than Fitzsininions, or
that Fitzsimmons 10 better than anybody

Three Cycling Items.

Women are often puzzled as to what to
Wear uit iii.ir rect when bicycling anu they
have not yet, apparently, hit upon the ideal
attire. Low shoes, with gaiters or lcggings,
are liked by some, white others object to
them, OH the ground that leggings increase
the size of the ankles. The ladies who have
large ankles seem to object most strongly to
them. During the summer canvas and cloth
have been the favorite enlatcrialsfor leggings
but now that winter is coming on the ladies
incline 10 leather. Soft, tan.colored lea ther,
with gray and dark-blue costumes, and un-
tanned suede leather, with gray costumes,
seem To be the thing. The bicycle boot in the
first seems to be very popular. Its cut very
high, coming up almost to the kn ec, is made
of pliable leather, is alternately laced and
buttoDed and is cut so as TO give the de-
sired appe:i rance OF Il narrow loot and q
slim ankle.
There is a difference of opinion in regard
to the pronum citation of the word bicycle"
For the info rmation of the uncertain it may
,e well 10 say that at Newport it is called
bicycling. Many people call it "bi-
cycling" The Newport people make
distinction and sound it with the long,
sound of Y. We may state that we think
that the Newport people are perfectly right.
for as all similar words, "cyCle,' ''uni-
cycle ''nonocycle," tricycle." quad
icycle" and ''niulticycle," are sounded with
the long Y there can be no reason, in our
opinion, for sounding ''bicycle" with a
short y.
At Newport this year bicycling has conf
pletely changed the complexion of society.
Old, young and middle-aged have been de-
voted to the wheel, and chaperOns have not
been insisted upon as hitherto. Greater lib
.erty has been allowed in going about with
the bicycle than In driving and other sports.
The women at Newport have worn very
many pretty costumes, but they re cOnserv-
ative in their wheeling garb. The best
dressed of them wear short skirts and leg
gings. Now and then one of them is seen
with high-heeied slippers and silk stock
ings, but this is rare, and only when the
foot is very pretty and the wearer is op-
pressed with the fact. The fact that they
dress that way In Paris has not convinced
the conservative Newporters. The shirt
waist has been universally worn: sometimes
plain affair of wash material starched
at neck and wrist, sometimes dainty bit
of null, sometimes chiffon.

False Evidence Given Against a Reia-

BAKER Cry, February 2O.-A peculiar
case was entered in the circuit court to-
day. 1t was one in which man by the
name of James Chamberlain, who lives
on upper Burnt river, in this county,
was accused of the larceny of calf.
The witnesses for the state, FIVE in num-
ber, were all relatives of the accused,
and it was shown by the defense that
their testimony was false beyond ques-
ton and given for the purpose of send
ing Chamberlain to the penitentiary to
get rid OF him. The case was submitted
to the jury without argument and they
promptly rendered verdict of not
guilty. 1t now turns out that Harvey
Lancaster and M. Yeager killed the calf
and in the endeavor to mix Chamber
lain up in the matter convicted them
selves. Lancaster pleaded guilty, and
was sentenced to serve eighteen months
in Salem. 1t is expected that the grand
Jury will find bill against Yeager be-
fore it adjourns. Yeager and Lancaster
are brothers in-law to Chamberlain.
