made success Of his business from moa-
ey point of view. He says he is worth $780,

of it came through the splitting OF human

connection with the fact that he claims

No doubt the thought has been in many
minds since the wife OF "Sluggor" Cor
bett began proceedings against him for a
divorce whether it is possible for a pro-
fessional prize fighter to be a decent and
honorable man. even though he had the
reputation of being such when he began
his professional career.
When "Slugger" Corbett became known
to fame his friends Wed with each other
in their efforts to make it appear that at
last the world had a champion "slugger''
who was a gentleman. Even the general
public was inclined to believe that the new
champion was a very decent sort of a
fellow. He had been a bank clerk and il
was said Of him that he was strictly tenn
perate, that his language, manners and
bearing were those of a gentleman, and
that he was never found in company with
the hangers-on of the prize ring There
was general rejoicing when he knocked
out" Sullivan, the champion "slugger,"
because it was alleged that Sullivan was
an all round bad man. being not only
loafer and a drunkard, but also being
guilty of many brutal and cowardly acts.
But Corbett no longer holds the place
in the public estimation he once had as the
gentleman "slugger." His treatment of
his wife is simply shameful, and that she
is a good woman and was a good wife
there does not seem to be any reason to
doubt. She sued for a divorce and he put
in no defense to the charges she made
against him. He was willing to have the
world believe that he is much less decent
and honorable man than he was when he
became "slugger." From this it may be
inferred that the influences that surround
d professional "slugger'' are bad. and that
sooner or later he is certain TO yield to
them, however excellent a character he
may have had before he entered the prize
ring. Decency and smuggling do not, it
seems, get along together

occurrence of the happy event some of
the weekly papers printed pictures of

Panama canal story makes its appear

she thought that the Eagle had been
pretty severe on him some times.

County Attorney Davis was an honor
able prosecutor and ne did not see
why the case against Smith was not
dismissed.
He stated that he had stood his trial
and had been cleared and that so far
as he was individually concerned was
forever clear of the case But, he
added, there is no case against Smith

said she and her husband had plenty of

MUSIC AND DRAAA

The version of Faust" which was
last night produced at the Academy,
is written, so the bill tells, by MI
Bayle Bernard He has done his work
we'll, following the line OF Goethe
poem, and has not much varied MS
scenes from those versions TO winch
we are accustomed. The dialogue.
which is pointed and dramatic. is in
great part his own, though here and
there are speeches which are found III
the old edition that Charles kean and
his successors have made famlllar.
One or two changes are noticeable
Marguerite is usually Imprisoned for
killing her child. In this version she
is charged with numbering her mother.
Faust has persuaded her to give her
mother a sleeping potion which he as
sures her is harmless. and Mephisto-
pheleS takes care that IL is poison, so
that the mother has been poisoned by
her innocent daughter. In the last act
Faust, instead of eventually being cap
tured by Mephistopheles, escapes and
is seen at Marguerite's feet as the
angels are about to take her TO heaven
This is a poetic license which, follow
ing the good old rule of satisfying
the audience with the denouement, is
pardonable, though except for the fact
that Ine part is played by a good look
ing and fine young man. MIR. Ber-
nard's Faust is not a character for
whom much sympathy is felt. There Is
not much to be said in eXtenuation OF
Faust at any time. but in this version
he appears to be more of a scoundrei
than usual. though yaciilating be-
tween remorse and desire to have the
full value of his bargain with the devil.
The play is eXcellently staged. and the
Walpurgis nightscene is treated in d
manner different from that usual when
which is seldom-the fact is retained
in the opera, and is sufficiently horri-
bic and effective, a new effect being
obtained in a cascade of red fire. A
good deal of assistance is given to the
general effect by the use of Gounod' s
Faust music. and nothing would be lost
If it were more freely borrowed. There
are scenes in Faust which, illumined
by Gounod's music, are poems in them
selves, and which are now little pale
without it. This however. is dra-
matte, not lyric, version of the story

GETS CHANGE OF VENUE.
Famous Harvey County Case Will Now be
Tried in Reuo County.

Jrieu In hPuO Acuntt.
Judge Wall argued the Rogers case
in the district court in Harvey county
and has secured a chang eof venue to
Reno county.
This is the case in which G.. ". Rogers
Of Newton and George Shirley Of
Wichita. were accused of burning a
portion of the records of Harvey county
Rufus Cone did the detective work and
got 81 900 for convicting Rogers but the
case was taken TO the supreme court
and new trial was granted.
Shirley jumped his bond and the pros
ecution of Rogers has already cost Har-
yey county a small fortune but the peo-
pie Were so exasperated at the destruc-
ton of their real estate records that
they stood the great expense without
a murmer.
Judge Wall and Senator O'Bryan are
Rogers lawyers and they have always
claimed that Rogers was convicted by
perjured testimony while the Harvey
county lawyers claimed that they could
convict Rogers without the objectiona-
BILE witnesses.
Rogers owned the only complete set
of abstract books in the county and
they are now in the possession or Sen-
tor O'Bryan and some real estate men
claim that these books are worth a
small fortune. The officials of Harvey
county. however. claim that they have

MUSIC AND PERFUMES.

What Odors, According to the Laws %
Harmony, Compose a Chord OF G.
An interesting and clever, If perhaps
q little fanciful, paper upon the anal
ogy between music and perfumes APP
peared in a recent issue of L'Illustra-
ton. In it we are told: 1t must not
be thought that, in order to excite our
olfactory nerve agreeably, it sufices to
mix, in &y proportions whatever.
odors which, isolated, are agreeable to
smell, any more than it would suffice
to drum upon a piano in order to play
a harmonious air. There is, says Mr..
Plesse, in his treatise upon perfumes,
an octave of odors, just as there is an
octave of notes; certain perfumes unite
with each other like the sounds OF an
instrument. Thus, bitter almonds. he
liotrope. vanilla and clematis blend
very well, each of them producing
nearly the same impression in differ
ent degree. On the other hand, we
have lemon, orange peel and verbena
that form higher octave of odors, and
w we Gail SttSh as VS.
geranium for a half tone.
With long practice it is possible, il
we may dare to so express ourselves, to
educate our nose and become composers
of music. Certain perfumers succeed
in distinguishing more than 400 odors
and in blending them without difficulty
in a proper manner. But these are ex-
ceptions: so Mr. Plesse. in order to aid
the manufacture OF perfumes, has con-
ceived the ingenious idea of selecting
the odors that are more especially en-
ployed in perfumery and of placing the
name of each odor in gamut in the
position corresponding to its effect
upon the olfactory sense.
When a perfumer wishes TO make
bouquet of primitive odors he must
select those that accord and the per-
fume will then be harmonious Upon
glancing at the gamut, we shall see
what harmony and discordance are as
regards doors. Just as painter blends
his colors. just so a Perfumer must
blend his aromas When bouquet OF
several perfumes is made, the latter
must be so mixed that when brought
together they shall form contrast
The following is an example that
shows the method of compromising per-
fumes according 10 the laws of harmony:
