AIRY SANDERS was in town las

AIRY SANDERS was in town last
IVI week. Everybody in washington
knows this winsome little actress.
She is prime favorite with the
summer stock patrons, but she is
welcome at all times and in anything.
This time she came as plaintiff in a suit
against Richard Mansfield to recover sal
AIRY due on a breach of contract and it is
pleasant to be able to say that twelve
jurors united in presenting her with IL
verdict worth just 81, $50.
Miss Sanders Offense, it transpired in
the course of the trial, was not incompe-

New YORK, Feb. 24.-The retirement
Of Darlington Booth and his wife,

BY Commander and Mrs. Booth:
1T is with inexpressible grief and
heartfelt pain that we have to announce
to our staff officers, field officers, troops
and friends throughout America, the
following important decisions, arrived
at after %protracted thought and careful
deliberation. We beg that they will
now and ever bear in remembrance
that we feel there is no alternative left
to u discretion.
"First-We do not seek, nor shall we
seek, to take any advantage OF the
strong feeling respecting u farewell
existing in all parts of the country, by
attempting to sever the United States
branch of the army from the parent
organization, as a separate or indepen-
dent movement.

Fit zsjmmons INDUCES In Some Talk Re-
garding Corbett.
Ell PAso, TEXAS, Feb. 24.-An Asso-
ciated Press representative had a talk
with Fitzsimmons about the Corbett
challenge on the way in from the battle
ground, and this is what he had to say
about it:
II shall completely ignore that fell
low Corbett. 1t was a thousand dollars
American money to one cent Mexican
coin, that Ppmp Jim would get in his
oar Just as he has. l shall use about
the same argument once employed by
Charlie Mitchell-tell him to 60 get a
reputation. Let him go and whip Pc
ter Maher and Joe Choynski before he
opens his head to me. Both men want
to fight him, and l think either one Of
them can lick him. This much l shall
insis upon. He must first win from
Mayer and Choynski before he gets
into a ring with me.
II VIII pped with ease the man Cor
bett gave the championship belt to, to
avoid a match with him. TO show how
little l cared for Corbett's relinquish-
ment, I now formally, through the AS
ISOLATED Press, all claims to
the belt refuse to accept the champion
ship belt. 1 am going to Madison
Square Garden for the night Of Feb.
20 with a half dozen contracts [ made
conditionally on winning from Maher
and then with Julian Stensler, Roober
and my family, l will sail for Eng
land
This is Corbett's Round.
CHICAGO, Feb. GA Corbett, when
shown the Associated Press dispatches
announcing Fitzsimmons' refusal to
fight him, simply said:
He is a big coward. I will leave it
to the public to judge as to whether I
am correct or not. predicted he would
not make a match with me if he won
the fight with Maher, but if he goss to
England he will find me in England
after him.
He said after the fight was over he
would fight any man in the world. He
is now getting out of the country as
fast as possible"

The full intensity of living is
reached only by the perfectly
healthy. Sickness discounts the
capacity tor enjoyment. If his
bedy is all out of order and run
down, he will not be able to enjoy
anything, no matter how full of en-
joyment it may be for other peo-
pie. If he is just little bit out of
order, if he is not sick, but doesn't
feel just right" he will only be able
to enjoy things in half-hearted
sort of way. The nearer he is to
being perfectly well, the nearer will
his capacity for enjoyment be per-
feet. If this condition doesn't ex-
ist, something ought to be done.

MENTAL ANGUISH
Cost the Western Union Telegraph
Company $4,000 for the Non
Delivery of a Mes
sage.

The case against the Western
Union Telegraph Co., growing out
of telegram sent from this place
to Robert Cain, Dallas, Texas, tell
ing him of his mothers death, and
which was not delivered to him at
Dallas, until the funeral had taken
place, keeping him from attending
the last sad rites, was tried in the
District court at Dallas yesterday.
The message when it left here was
addressed to a certain number, the
correct one, on Union street. The
city directory of Dallas shows no
such street, but does show an alley
by that name, and it was this fact
that give Robt, Cain damages. He
asked for 81, 500 but got only 5000.
Manager Hughes, at this place
was there as a witness and he in
forms the reporter, that lawyer H.
E. Cullom, who practiced his pro
fession here in the early days of the
town, was the colored mans attor-
ney, but had associated with him in
the case, an attorney by the name
of Mclaughlin. The Western
Union Telegraph Co. had Judge
Fields for an attorney, and the case
was ably argued on both sides.
Mr.. Hughes did not know whether
the case would be appealed or not.
