A sporting man, who is always up on
the latest ne~s rparding pugilist'c
events, soiti yeaterdar that some of Cor
belts hackers would like awfullv well
to get ont. They declare that he is in no
ccndition 70 tain, aud consequently can
not he III condition to fight on Oc:. 81.
IN tell YOU, sais the aforesaid,
but mnst not be quoted, Al Smith
u several others know that Corbett is
NOT fiji to fight and will not be Smiths
recent offer to bet 50, 900 that the fight
would not come off shows conclusiyely
that he knows more than he will pub
ljely admit He says HOW that the fight
will take place unless the governor of
Texas inteTtetes, Int I lnow that in
confidential talks with friends he has
expressed The opinion that Corbett and
titZsjmmonA viii net meet at the pro-
p9sed Texas carnival. II is my opinion
that Smith would like to be ont any
way.
"Only tLe other evening a friend of
mine, speaking Of the matter, said that
lie would wager that Smith would take
Sd, 500 or less for his So, 900 BET. Sport
ing men interested have become 'leary'
OF Corbett. They have been stalled Of
with stories Of a sprained knee until
suspicion has grown to an extent thai
confidence is we'll nigh Lost. Fitzsim-
mons, Gu tho other hand, is going stead
lily along with his training and is al
ready in splendid condition. Through
come of his friends il has been heard
that even Fitz il becoming afraid flat
he will rot get a chance at Corbett.
Many umor are nfloat that tend Ia
strengthen ones belief that the fight
will not come off. On several occasions
the charge has been made that Corbett
had not begun training, knowing that
the battle would not be fought. Hi
knee, which it was announced was
sprained or slightly wrenched, wa
given as the reason for the several de.
lays, and nov the story goes that a
Washington physician, not a surgeon, is
attending him. All these conflicting ru-
mors tend to cause suspicion and to lend
color to the oft repeated rumor that the
Dallas fight will not take place. "-Ex-

Yesterday morning while mass was
being celebrated at the cathedral Of the
Immaculate Conception a young lady
from Boston. a fine vocalist, was assuni-
ing the leading soprano part. When the
solo "Salve Regina" was reached, the
lady sang the solo, and had reached the
concluding measure, her pure, crystal
like notes falling most agreeably on the
ear, when the members of the choir no.
ticed that she turned pale and placed
her handkerchief to her lips, giving a
spasmodic cough. A fly had flown down
her windpipe and shut off her wind.
Fortunately at that moment the full
chorus had to sing, thus preventing any
break, and when her turn came again
the lady was able to respond. The poor
fly was afterward found ON the bosom Of
her dress. He had paid for his temerity
with his lie. Portland Press.

WILL OUT.
Or 1t VIII Sometimes, Especially When
Murderers Talk In Their Sleep

Or 1t Will Sometimes, Especially When
Murderers Talk In Their Sleep
In the Jail Of Oroville is Thomas
Laughty, alias Locklin, who is believed
to be the murderer of Arthur Meyers.
On the 30th of last October Meyers was
driving a stage near Nevada City, when
q lone highwayman held up the stage
and demanded the box. Meyers did not
obey at once, and the highwayman fired,
killing him instantly. Detectives traced
the murderer all over northern Califor-
MIA, but failed to find him, although a
reward of 81, GOO was offered. Two
months ago Laughty was arrested in
Chico on a charge of larceny and plead
ed guilty and was sentenced to 90 days
in the county Jail. -Four weeks ago his
cell mate, George Evans. heard him
muttering i'll his sleep;
II shot Arthur Meyers, and if 1 don't
get that old - - - in the
bushes there he will get me-"
Evans thought he bad the murderer
and spent two weeks in questioning
Locklin. Evans said to him
a"You should be more careful what
You say in your sleep, for you might tell
things about yourself you don't want
others to'know.
From that time Iaughty feared Ev-
ans. For nearly q week he was in q ter
rible state Of excitement, and day and
night walked up and down his cell
without sleeping. At last he picked q
quarrel with Evans, but the jailer sepa-
rated them. Soon after this six Of the
prisoners We're sitting together when
Evans said:
II wonder if a murderer could be
hanged by what he might say in his
sleep. l know the murderer Of Arthur
Meyers and could put my hands on
him."
Laughty, who was behind Evans. in
a fit of rage grabbed up a spittoon and
struck him a heavy blow on the head.
The other prisoners stopped the fight.
Evans then told Undersheriff Guidery
and Sheriff Wilson what he had heard.
They found further proofs of his guilt,
and as soon as Laughty's term expires
he will be taken to Nevada county
San Francisco Chronicle.

A Kentucky school committee
whose members had invitations 10
hanging at the county jail struck town
lust before the district school was dis
missed for the day. With view to
combining business with their pleasure
trip the committee dropped in on the
schoolma am and put a few questions
to the scholars. The answers were 80
brilliantly incorrect that the teacher
had to tell the committeeman that all
the little ones were worked up over
the coming event at the jail. Then
she dismissed them.
But the scholars, instead Of trooping
off as usual, hung about the yard
watching with jealous eyes the proud
and arrogant bearing Of small boy
who strutted among them like king
in the midst Of his courties. His every
action was observed. and il was much
more than apparent that by far the
greater part Of the girls hung upon his
word, and glances. Eventually one
Of them offered ripe, red apple TO
the boy, who took it without thanks
and with cool superiority. Hisactions
and the queer behavior Of the other
children aroused the curiosity Of one
Of the visitors, and he turned 10 the
schoolrna am asking:
"Who is that arrogant small boy1"
The teacher looked, and then with
little air Of wonder answered
why, don't you know himf That's
Johnny Banks. It's his father who
is going to be hanged.

nesting, he found nest built in skel-
eton hand in the fork Of a large maple
tree. On the hand was zeal ring,
and on taking his strange find home
the ring was at once recognized at his

Just two kinds of people. no more, say.
Not the sinner and int, for It's well under
The good are half bad, and the bad are half

Not the rich and the poor, for to count a

You must first know the state Of his con-

Not the humble and proud, for in LIES little

Who puts on vain airs is not counted a man.
Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying

A story is told illustrating the de-
termination of the late A. 7. Stewart
not to allow any tender consideration
or any sympathetic influence to inter.
fere with the accomplishment of his
ambition, which was to build up the
greatest business house in America.
Stewart was for many years the mer-
chant prince of New York he exerted
an influence that was felt in every
part of this country and was recognized
abroad. He cultivated the germ OF
sel6shnes. that was in him cultivated
it calculatingly and determlnedly, as
We see by this little story that is told
of him:
Upon entering his store one MORN
ing he sought out the man having the
hiring and discharging of the cash
bows.
"Mr Libby" said he, "who is that
handsome, bright-eyed little boy stand
ing by the counter yOnder ?"
His name is Mason, Charley Mason,
sir, answered Mr.. Libby. "He is in
deed handsome little fellow, and he
is as bright and as well-mannered as
he is handsome. He is the most at
tentiys and most promising boy we
have in our employ
"Yes, ! thought as much, said
Stewart, grutlly. Discharge him at
once.
"Why, Mr.. Stewart exclaimed
Libby, almost paralyzed with aston.
ishment, you surely cannot mean it?'
Discharge him at once" repeated
Stewart, sternly. Pm getting too
much interested in that boy. find
myself stopping and talking with him
as come in or 90 out of the store.
His personality interests me-hls cam
dor, his intelligence, his enthusiasm,
his beauty. | find myself thinking of
him after reach my desk and when |
should be busy at work. ! have no
time and no right to become interest
ed in anybody must not suffer any
liking to distract me from business.
Discharge that boy at once"
Well, the little fellow had to go.
Presumably he has now grown to the
estate Of manhood, fulfilled all the
splendid promises which were indicat-
ed in his youth We hope 10. Per.
haps this reminiscence Of his old cm.
ployer will fall under his eyes. For
this is small world in which We live.
And what of A. T. Stewart and his
work The canny old tradesman went
to his grave unloved and unwept.
Then robbers came and made away
with hls dead body. The enormous
business he builded up has gone to
pieces and the vast fortune he acquired
is scattered. His genius--once a
mighty Influences now simply a
tradition and not wholly savory one.

Time does have getting even with hu-
man greatness.
