ready" Fitzsimmons had on short
thigh trunks, dark blue, with a belt
showing the American colors, and
black hose rolled down upon the top
of his ring shoes. Maher showed up in
black trunks, half way to his knees,
with a green belt. His hose and shoes
were similar to those of Fitzsimmons.
The Australian throughout the prelim-
inaries showed the utmost confidence
Makers lips seemed parched and he
moistened them with his tongue and
took deep inhalations as if his mouth
and throat were dry. Shake hands"
Referee Siler said. The men advanced
still showing plainly. Maher met him
promptly and with more familiar air
than he had yet shown. They retired
to their corners. In an instant the
whistle sounded. Five seconds later
the call time" followed. Up sprang
Fitzsmmons, advancing with flashing
eyes. Makers advance was rapid
enough to meet Fitzsimmons at the
middle of the 24-foot ring. His eyes
were circled from the recent attack OF
"alkali eye" and seemed staring like
a stage makeup without the deceptive
footlight glare. The big fight for the
heavy weight championship of the
world was at last reality
Eitz led with his left, Maher backed
towards his conner. Fitz landed with
his right and clinch followed. Maher
struck FitZ with his right while they
clinched and Referee Siler warned him
that if he did so again he would give
the fight to FitZsimmons. After the
break away Peter landed his left on
Fits neck. Close mitigating TO lowed,

landed both right and left on either

Fitzsmmors seemed a bit bothered
and broke ground on Makers leads
Mahcr followed him up and led with
his left, when Fitzsimmons stepped
aside, and, swinging his right, landed
full on the point of Makers left chin.
Maher measured his length on the
floor, his head striking the canvass
with great force. He vainly attempted
to arise but could not do more than
raise his head. His seconds called on
him to get up, but he failed to respond

The Westminster Gazette Yesterday
afternoon said: "The silence of the
ministry does not imply that the GOV
eminent is doing nothing to meet
American oVertures Nevertheless it is
Impossible not to feel strongly that now
is the acceptable time. 1t is highly de-
sirable that the question shall be
closed before the presidential election
campaign becomes active"
The st. James Gazette commenting
upon the proposed arbitration, makes
some remarks concerning George
Washington saying: "He became the
adversary of England reluctantly and
was never her enemy. If this spirit
animate the tenant of the white
house today, it is certain that the boun-
Diary dispute between England and a
South American republic would not be
made the occasion of difficulty which
almost threatened war between two
peoples. The weekly newspapers are
less favorable to the proposal The Ma
tional Observer warns its readers
against too ready acceptance.

The Venezuelan joint arbitration
commission feelers put forth by Wash
lngton newspaper correspondents, with
or without hints from persons in au-
thority, continue to be gravely and
lengthily discussed in the newspapers
and are fairly received. The Daily
News, as an example, promises the gov
eminent the unhesitating support of
me opposition and a friendly reception
ror proposals so far as the liberals are
concerned. There is little doubt but
that an acceptance of the proposition
to appoint a board of Cancellation, com
posed of Americans and Englishmen in
equal numbers, would be most cordially
welcomed. Sir Henry Hartley Fowler,
a liberal member for parliament and at
one time president of the local govern
mcnt board, known as the only Meth
odist' who has been made privy
councillor in interview last night said:
u strongly favor the acceptance of this
scheme. It is a great mistake to waste
time in diplomatic haggiiNg The de-
tails are insignificant in comparison
with the supreme Importance of an
immediate agreement for settlement
OF the international difficulty"

THE TRUE STORY OF DAMON AND
PYTHIAS.
CHAPTER, |.


The romantic story of Damon and
Pythias, which has been celebrated in
verse and song for over 1900 years, is
supposed TO have originated during tho
reign of Dionysius I, or Dionysius the
Elder, as he was also called, who resign
ed about $40 years B. G. He must have
been called "tho Elder" more for a
joke than anything else, as he was by
inclination q Unitarian, although he was
never Il momber of any church what
ever, and was, in fact, tho wickedcst
man in al Syracuse.
Dionysius arose TO the throne from the
ranks, and used to call himself self
made Man lie was tyranuical, severe
AID selfish, as all self made men are.
Self made men are very prone to usmp
the preroGn,ivc of tho Almighty and
overwcrk themselves. Thcy arc not sat
isfied with tho position Of division su-
perintondent of creation, but they want
to bo most worthy high grand muck IA
muck of the entire ranch, or their lives
AFRO gloomy fiz2les.
Dionysips was indeed so odious and
so 0verbearing toward his subjects that
he lived in constant fear Of assassination
Mt their hands This fear robbed him Of
his rest and rendered life dreary waste
to tho tyrnnnical king He lived in con-
slant dread that each previous moment

CHAPTER ".

1t is now the proper time to throw in
the solitary horseman. The horizontal
bars of golden light from the setting sun
CLEAN and glitter from the dome of the
courthouse and battle the green plains Of
Syracuse with mellow splendor. The
billowy piles of fleecy bronze in the east
ern sky look soft and yielding, like a
Sarah Bernhardt. The lowing herd
winds slowly Ger the lea, and all nature
seems oppressed with the solemn hush
and stiffness of the surrounding and en-
quilting horror.
The solitary horseman is seen coming
along tho Albany and Syracuse toll road.
He jabs the Mexican spurs into the
foamy flank of his noble cayuse plug.
and tho lash of tho quirt as it moves
through the mir is singing n merry song.
Damon has been delayed by road agents
and washouts, and he is little behind
time. Besides, he fooled little too long
and dnllied i'll Albany with his fair ga
zelle. But he is making up time now
and no sails into the jailyard just in
time to take his part He and Pythias
fall into each others arms, borrow a
