STUART TO MEET CORBETT.
Latter Will Probably Sign Articles
to Meet FitZsimmons.

New York, Dec. 16.-Dan A. Stuart, the
Texas protector of fistie sport, who has
been in New York the past week arrang
ing his plans to bring Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons together in the ring some time in
the near future, Will meet Corbett at the
Police Gazette office at ! O'Clock tomor-
row, when the latter will consider Stuart's
proI oSition and sign articles of agreement.
Stuart will offer purse OF $4,000 for
glove contest to be held the early part
of 1897, and VIII guarantee to furnish a
battle ground where a fight TO a finish
can he held without interference, or forfeit
the entire purse. He will pest Part OF
the money when the articles are signed
and the remainder on a date to be dec ided
upon.
stuart, for obvious reasons, refuses to
diyulge the name of the place where the
contest Will take place, or anything about
his plans, but says that if Corbett and
FitZsimmons want to fight they need Ist
worry about the affair after signing the
articles.
C0rbett said today that he would be on
hand ready for business and would try i'll
every possible way to bring about con-

day The annual meeting of the asiocia-
tion was held first.
/. DR.. II. II. Groege, of Beaver Fails, Pa,

until the present session.
The association intends to establish in

CHRISTMAS DAY FOOTBALL
COlumbiasn Have Finally Ar
ranged a Game.
TO MEET A PICKED TEAM
1t WIZ Be Composed of Washing
ton College Men and Strong
Contest Is Looked For-Some
Noted Grfdiron stars May Be
Seen ON the Field.

The uncertainty regarding the Christmas
day football game has at last been set
tied, and it. is definitely announced that
there viii be game OF very considerable
local interest for that holhiay.
The game will be between the Column
Bian University and a picked team OF
ifll yers under iIe name oI ,iie All " asHihs-
tons, and it will probably be played On
Columbia Field.
After the Uuiumlia Athletic Club found
it impossible to bring about game with
the Hampton team, and the negotiations
with the AH-Amcrican eleven coming 10
naught, the idea of Christmas foothail was
practically abandoned by the {. "A. Z.
managers.
ALL PICKED PLAYERS.
When this fact was learned a number OF
enthusiastic footballists took the matter
of arranging game in hand and TO their
efforts is due the game which has been
arranged.
The Columbian team is first-class one,
several OF the best known players in Wash
ington being Included in The lineup. 1t is
also probable that the team VIII be
strengthened by the addition of old players
who have made names for themselves ON
the larger college teams.
Among these men will be Senior and Don
Fugitt Of Lehigb, and also De Silver of
the University or Pennsylvania eleven.
LINEUP UNDECIDED.
The personnel of the All Washington
team is an uncertainty at present, as ii is
not known how many eX-college players
will be available on that day. However,
the team is certain TO be strong one,
even though team work may be somewhat
lacking. Ii is likely that several c. A. c.
players win be included in the line-up.
The public has been disappointed on
past occasions by published stateme nts that
Butter worth, King, Church, ami other stars
would play5sin these Christmas games,
when, matter of fact, the chances of
their playing were remote in the extreme.
Therefore no such announcement will be
made this year, although there is the
same possibility OF their being seen in
football toys when the game S called. The
contest between these teams will doubt
less be first-class one, and admirers OF
the sport may depend upon seeing some
good holiday football.

RATS FULL OF GOLD.

Boys Catch the Rodents in JeweIry Fac
tories and Cremate Them.
1t is said to be common practice for
boys in watch and jewelry factories to
kill the rats which infest the buildings
and burn the bodies to obtain the gold.
Many oiled rags are used in furnishing
watch cases, and in time they become
impregnated with gold. The rats eager
~ devour these rags, and few months
of this kind of diet fills the interior
mechanism of the rat with a gold plat
ing.
Twice a year the boys have grand
cremation. The rats are caught by the
hundred and burned in crucibIe. The
intense heat drives off all animal sub
stances and leaves the gold in the shape
of a little lump. The amount of the
precious metal obtained in this way is
not large, but it gives the ingenious
youngsters plenty of pocket money. In
some factories young Napoleons OF
finance buy up in advance the shares OF
their fellow-worlers in the rat colony

They Say to Each Other That a Portrait o

They Say to Each Other That Portrait on
a Check Means Good Sense Went Short.
1t is related in the New York Mail
and Express that a New York mer-
chant has portrait of himself en-
graved on his checks, so that when he
pays bill his creditor has the addi-
tional satisfaction of gazing upon the
counterfeit presentment of the payer.
These checks 60 to different cities and
pass through various banks and clear
ing houses. In the parlance of the va
riety actor, the bank clerks "do not do
q thing to them"
When the gentleman who thus adj
vertises himself has his deposit book
settled at the end of the month and gets
back his cancelled checks, it is ques-
ton whether he is pleased or vexed.
The portrait on each and every check
is ornamented, and it's facial express
sion changed in manner that is, to
say the least, startling, and the more
banks the check has passed through
the greater the change. The first clerk
through whose hands the paper passes
will adorn the picture with fierce
mustache; the next will add beard;
the next pair of goggles, and the next
may change the aquiline nose to
retrousse. All the changes capable of
being made are rung, and by the time
the check gets back the self-adver-
tiser doesn't know himself-or, rather,
doesn't know his picture.

VALUABLE GRAVEL WALK.

Man Gets n Fine Avenue Out Of False
Weights In Coffee Bags.
1t has been left to q st. Louis bust
ness man to construct gravel walk,
neither long nor strikingly beautiful,
that is a modern, if comparatively
humble, rival of these glistening high
ways of fiction and fable, for it repre-
sents $4,000 in hard cash. The man.
ager of st. Louis coffee company is
the proud possessor of this unique
walk. 1t is composed of several tons
of Brazilian pebbles, that came to him
in an ordinary business way during the
last few years.
This firm are heavy importers of Bra
lillian coffee. Before the berries are
ready to be roasted for the market the
sacks are opened and the contents care
fully examined for twigs, leaves and
other impurities, the latter generally
taking the shape of small pebbles about
the size of q coffee berry. These came
with such regularity and in such guam
titles that long ago the idea that they
were accidentally in the sacks was
abandoned, and the conclusion reluc-
family reached that they were purpose
ly placed in the bags to make weight.
The daily discoveries of these Brazilian
pebbles, which are paid for as coffee.
will fill an ordinary bucket. They are
still added to the gravel path as they
come in.

a petition laid before the Iowa leg
islature by Senator Palmer, of Wash

South English rebellion in Keokuk
county, which was put down 10y small
army under the leadership of Gov.
Kirkwood. The rebellion was put
down with the loss of one man and it
has been almost forgotten, but six
members of the company sent petit
ton to the legislature as follows:
eve, the undersigned survivors and
representatives of the Iowa army which
operated in the South English district
during the terrible war of the rebellion
and which successfully squelched the
rebel uprising in that renowned section
of the United States, notice with ex-
treme agony that we are nowhere upon
the proposed soldiers monument of
| the state of Iowa, medallioniZed, car
tooned or busted. We therefore most
respectfully request you to use your
utmost endeavOrs in the capacity of
senior of our renowned district to Sc
cure us a site, presumption or corner
lot somewhere on the outside of the
monument, so that coming generations
may not lose sight of the distinguished
servicewhich our organization rendered
this great republic in the hour of it's
extremity. Should the external sur.
face of said monument, however, be
already settled up, and no opportunity
to cram us in anywhere, then we res.
pectively request that you make a
herculean effort for the authorization
of another monument for our sole and
exclusive benefit. For all of which we
shall ever supplicate.-SiouX City

Under the lead of the Des Moines
dailies the legislature is showing pro,
nounced tenderness for the express
companies. Why is it that when an
express company desires to go outside
of its legitimate business as common
carrier and seizes upon one branch of
the banking BUSINESS, and sell ex-
change for profit they should not be
made amenable to the same require.
