The Trouble Was the Result of the chams

When Asked

NEW YORK, April Jim Corbett, his
manager and a party of friends were
dining in a restaurant -on Broadway last
night when Young Critic entered, and,
walking up to Corbett, asked him to take
something. Corbett declined and turned
his back on Critic. Critic would not be
ignored, and attracted Corbett's notice
by saying: 1T takes US Australians to
do up you chumps. Peter Jackson can do
you and 1 can stand you off for four
rounds myself.
To this Corbett retorted: Here, you
little pper-snapper, go about your
business, if you have any, or III break
you in two.
Grffo's response was blow aimed at
Corbett's jaw. jim stopped it, and then
with his open hand he slapped Critic on
the face so strongly that he knocked him
on the floor. Corbett was very angry, and
stopping down he attempted to pick Griffo
up that he might slap hlm again. AS he
did so Critic kicked the champion on the
Jaw. Corbett fell back, and his head
struck the rim of an iron cuspidore.
Brady and Bill Delaney picked him up
unconscious. The cut from the fall back
of his right ear, bled freely. Messengers
were dispatched for DIR. Bryant, but Cor
bett soon revived. and went to drug
store and had his wound dressed. Griffo
and his companions made their escape
into a hack and were driven away.

AMONG THE MERCHANTS
1rs. BaIIington Booth Enters New Field In
ST. Louis

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 1.-At the clos
ing hodr toiay President Booth called
the Merchants Exchange to order and re-
quested Mr.. Murray Carlton to introduce
Mrs. Ballington Booth of the Salvation
Army.
Mrs. Booth said this was the first time
she had ever had the honor OF addressing
such an audience, and she fully realized
the necessity of speaking to the point
and briefly. She referred to the form er
contempt the Salvation Army was held
in and the day its soldiers were avoided in
the highway, and OF the change which
had come over the people. Now, instead
of a feeling of repugnance the churches
and the people were lending their aid in
every way.
The Salvation Army" she ssaid, sis
not organized for the purpose of taking
away from any church Its members, but
to bring them more members by redeem
ing from sin and darkness those who are
found in the highways and byways-the
poor, needy and the fallen. -
Mrs. Booths remarks were listened to
attentively and at the close the applause
was long and loud.

THE BRITISH ULTIMATUM
Secretary Gresham Concerned Over the
Venezuelan Affair
England Profuse In Declarations that Arbi-
tration Would Be Acceptablc-But
Conflict Is Probable

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Secre-
tary of State is very much concerned
these days about the Venezuelan problem.
The British ultimatum delivered to
Nicaragua is not a source of political ap-
prehension. for it is not now believed
that the British Will take action in the
way of acquiring territory in that direc-
ton or to ieopardize the property OF
Americans in Nicaragua by bonn bard
ment in their efforts to collect the indem-
nifty demanded from Nicaragua. These
are the two moves that might cause the
United States to interfere. But in the
case of the Venezuelan border dispute
there is much grave cause for apprehen-
sion.
1t appears that our ambassador Mr..
Bayard has not succeeded in inducing
the British government to give heed to
the request submitted by him. at the di-
rection of Congress, that the boundary
dispute be submitted to arbitration.
The British are profuse in their deClara
tions of a willingness to arbitrate the
title of the land west of the Schoom berg
line, but in the view of the State Depart
ment is a pure evasion of the real issue,
for there never has been any real asser-
ton of British right to this territory,
and it is territory lying east of this line
ton.
The situation is believed to be alarm
ing, rs armed bodies of British and Vene-
zuelanS are pressing each other closely in
the disputed territory and there may be
hostile clash at any moment. The adj
ministration has been considering the
course to be pursued in such case, and il
is entirely probable that if the British
persist in bringing about such a collision,
their failure to hear the repeated warn
ings and requests of the United States to
submit the matter to arbitration. then
the United States will feel obliged to
follow the moral aid it has given to Vene-
zuela in this matter by more substantial
assistance.

THE FIST OF A PRETTY GIRL
Salvation Army Lassie Knocks Out
an Oakland Dude
Sequel to Young, Pretty, and Wealthy Girl
Joining the Band That Saves
Sinners

SAN FRANCISCO, April Miss Marie
Brownelle, dainty. pretty, not quite II
years old, educated in tho most fashion,
able seminary in the state, caused sem
sation a few months ago when she joined
the Salvation Army and expressed the
intention of becoming an officer. Now
she has won the admiration of all who
know her by soundly thrashing an i'm
pertinent fellow who attempJed d to show
herself and mother unsolicited ttention,
Naturally Miss Brownelle is one of the
attractions OF the Salvation Army A few
days ago she appeared at the head of an
army procession on Market street dressed
all in white with silver spangles. She
was the Snow Queen, and marched the
streets to advertise the ice cream festival
which the army was giving to raise funds
with which to prosecute the work OF re-
lieving distress and soothing suffering,
The men about town had a good deal
to say about the pretty young girl in
white. She furnished a new topic for
their jaded imaginations. Had they been
given encouragement she might have be-
come quite fad and reigned as Queen
of the Dudes" Those with energy
tained that this army lassie was well off
in this world is goods; that she had been
graduated from Mills Seminary, and
that her enlistment in the army was of
recent date. From now on, however
her admirers will keep at a respectful
distance. Miss Brownellc was going
home at night with her mother. The
boldest OF her admirers who had been
hanging about the army rooms, stepped
up, adjusted his glasses, lifted his hat.
smiled insinuatingly, took the mothers
arm, leered into the face OF the young
lady and asked: May l see you homer"
The next moment the angry fist of the
pretty girl shot into his ogling eyes, his
eyeglasses were shattered and flew one
way, while his hat went the other, and
he was knocked completely off his feet,
falling on his back, AS he rose the young
lady struck him another blow and he was
glad to slink away without further casti-
cation.

THE WIZARDS LATEST PLAN

AstOnish the World
He is to Buy Out the Old Company and Will
Put Photographs Into
Houses

NEW YORK, April 1.-The World this
morning says Thomas A. Edison and
his phonograLl are going to join hands
once mora, and the wizard of Menlo Park
promises improvements and novelties
which will astonish the public. The pho
nograph has been controlled by the North
American Phonograph company, which
went into receivers hands last August
The company was capitalized at SO, 000,
600 in 1888, and James III. Lippincott,
the promoter, went insane when he found
it was fizzle. The receiver has adveI-
tised for bids on the entire assets, and
Mr.. Edison s offer of $120, 900 has been ac-
cepted The acceptance of the bid must
be sanctioned by the chancellor of New
York. A circular has been sent by the
receiver to the creditors and stockholders
of the bankrupt company, stating that
on Monday, April 8th, he will request
direction from the court to convey the
properly to Mr.. Edison. Mr.. Edison said
last night:
'The company has one asset that l am
willing to pay high price for-that is q
claim on my future inventions and i'm
provements on the phonograph. l don t
care TO have anyone else have lien on
my brains, SO l made bid which proved
higher than all the Others | shall man.

and expect TO keep all the promises
made when [ first introduced them.

of nckcl-in- the-slot machines. and in a

opera or novel on a cylinder. lt will cost
a great deal. l suppose it will cost me

more than the Harpel's and newspapers

Trilhy read to him in his parlor in the
course of an evening. | shall manufacture
the perfected phonograph individually. -
Then the reporter asked the question
that the wizard always expects to hear
from newspaper men: What is the lat
est?"
Nothing at all, ~ returned Mr.. Edison
Except the kinetophone, combination
of the kinetoscope and the phonogrdph
1 am going to reproduce the motions and
words of life-size speaking figures. I've
already got the speaking and moving fig"
ures up to half life-size. I've paid more
attention lately to my mine than any
thing else. Very soon now I'll go to work
in the laboratory again.
