THE ARTICLE GENUINE.
COrtctt Made No Mistake In Accepting
National Clubs Terms.

James j. corbett was considerably
annoyed by the report that the ar
ticles pirpOrting to have been issued
by the National Sporting club. of Lon
don. which he signed, were not sent
out by the management of that cele-
brated institution. So he telegraphed
Richard X. Fox, from Columbus. o.,
to learn the fact of the case.
From present indications there is no
immediate danger of fight. for FitZ-
simmons not only insists that he will
not fight aboard, hut still advises Cor
bett to acquire reputation as a
fighter. This proposition. while rather
interesting at the first, is gradually be-
coming threadbare, and the New Zea-
lander will have to adopt new tactics
in the near future unless he desires the
public to arrive at the conclusion that
he is afraid of Corbett.
1t would appear under the circum-
stances that the articles signed by Cor
bett are of trifiing importance wheth-
er they are genuine or otherwise. Mr..
Fox's representative. :. e. Austin. sent
to Corbett copies of all the cablegrams
sent by G.. w. Atkinson. as well asNthe
original paper forwarded by the Ma
tiOnal Sporting club.

REVIVAL. OF oIYMPiAN GAMES.
The idea of reriying the Olympian
games, which played such prominent
part in Greek life centuries before the
birth of Christ. was conceived In Paris
| in the spring of 1891. At the request Of
| NJ. de Pallisaux and Baron Pierre de
Coubertin Il congress was summoned
at Paris by a decision of the United
French associations of athletic sports
and these three commissioners Were
appointed to organize the congress
| Baron de Coubertin. for continental
| Europe; G. Herbert for England and
| her colonies. and Professor William Nj
Sloane, of Princeton, for the United
| States. The commissioners drew up Il
constitution and rules governing anna
| teursm and professionalism, and dis
cussed rules for the games.
At summer meeting of the congress
Athens was proposed by the Greek del
egate as the place to hold the games
| and being warmly supported by
Messrs de COubertin. Sloane. GOudinet
and de Nillers. his proposition was ac-
cepted. Athens historical associations

RECEIVING ROYAL SUPPORT.
The games are meeting with hearty
support In Greece and the king and
royal family are much interested. They
will be under the patronage of the heir
apparent. FRINGE George. Duke OF
Sparta, is the president and Prince
Nicholas an honorary member. The
games are to he held at Athens from
April to the 18th inclusive. or, by
the Greek calendar. from March ~ to
April 3.
To defray the expenses of these
games a fund of sl93, 900 has been raised
in Greece itself. and Il Greek merchant
of Alexandria named Averof has con
tributed 100000 druchmac for the pur-
pose of rebuilding the Panathenae stads

able of seating 10000 spectators. The
sides slooe up To u height of 80 tn so
feet. and the arena in the shape of Il
horseshoe is go feet long and lOS feet
wide. A part of the stadium will be
finished in marble in time for the games
this spring and the rest i'm wood.
Ii is the intention Of Mr. Averon To
have the entire structure ultimately re-
constructed of pentelie marble at his
own expense. From its position be-
tween two of the lowest spurs of Mt
Hymethes it commands Il magnificent
view of Athens and the surrounding
country.

and power is thus accumulated. The
fiy-wheel is made to revolve many times
Oftener than the crank shaft through
the medium of the compound gears. and,
when once the power Is properly ad-
justed. 1t Is n simple matter to gear the
speed OF the bicycle to any pitch de-
sired.
NO DIMINUTION OF POWER.
At no period in the revolution of the
cranks Is there a diminution of power
applied to the crank shaft through the
lack of leverage force, as the increased
momentum gained in the iy-wheel de-
Velops power sufficient to eliminate the
effects of lost motion and drives the
cranks on over dead centers, thus per-
petuating the constant speed or pro-
gress of the ear or bicycle. that would
otherwise be retarded by sacrificing
sufficient amount of the speed power in
rotating the cranks to the initial point
of leverage"

Critical Man Fails When He Criticises
the Constitution.
Whether tranquility" has one 'sl'f
or two is the question the man with
the eagle eye and mind that runs to
detail has brought up. 1t comes in con-
nection with the new silver certificate
just issued by Uncle Sam.
On the new money the word appears
in reproduction of the constitution of
the United States. This is the sentence
as it is In the original: !
We. the people of the United States, I'M
order to form more perfect union, estat.
l!sh justice. insure domestic tranquil
ity," etc. |
The man with the eagle eye saw the
single 81" and he was in clover. He veri-
fed his suspicious, and announced that
Uncle Sam doesn't know how to spell.
For In the standard dictionaries of the
day 1t is tranquility"
Now it turns out that the man with
the eagle eye is wrong, and the money is
right. The artist naturally followed
the original copy, and that contains the
word tranquility" exactly as itappears
on the new silver certificate, and hence
reproduced the constitution as he found
It.
Nobody but the man with the eagle
eye has refused to accept the certificate
SO far.

CHINESE FEAR ANGER OF JOSS.
Monument In Rosehil Cemetery viii Be
Rehuilt to Placata Him,

Monument In Rosehin Cemetery viii Be
Rebuilt to Placate Him.
A superstitious fear has caused the
Chinese to plan radical alterations in
their monument or altar in Rosehill
cemetery, Chicago. There has been an
unusual death rate among the Celes-
ttals OF late, and it was decided that it
was due to displeasure Joss had taken
at their monument.
Accordingly, despite the fact that it
has been but recently erected, and at a,
cost of several hundred dollars, it has
been decided to practically tear it down
and build one without the features
which they believe have provoked Joss
displeasure.
Sam Moy and several Of his country
men visited John Anderson, the monu-
ment dealer at the entrance of Rosehill,
the other day and submitted plans for
reconstruction of the monument. It's
commanding height, 10 feet, they
thought leading reason for Joss evil
dent displeasure, so they decided to cut
1t down to four feet.
But they regarded as a more potent
cause of their trouble the presence Of
three drainage holes in the bottom Of
the basin directly in front of the struc-
ture, and insisted they be closed and
hole opened on the side Of the basin,
