sHAR6EY GETS THE MONEY.
Judge SandersOn Orders That the Case be
 Thrown Out of Court.

San Francisco, Dec. Assignments were begun in the Fitzsimmons- Shar- key case this morning, General Barnes counsel for the sailor, moved to dis miss the injunction on the ground that there was no distinction between a glove contest and a prize fight Attor- ney Freiderich, for Fitzsimmons, asked the court not to consider outside mat ters. but to decide according to the al- legations.
 At the conclusion of the arguments, Judge Sanderson said that was the first time the matter had been presented. The former proceedings were merely the taking of the positions, no distinc- tion being made between a glove con- test and prize fight He therefore dismissed the injunc ion and threw the case out of court This is a victory for Sharkey.

CORBETT SIGNS 4RTICLES
Agrees to Meet Fitsimmons for n &15,OOO
 Purse-Fitzsimmons Not Present

Jersey City, Dec. 17.-James J. Cor bett this afternoon, at Taylor's hotel, signed articles of agreement to fight Bob Fitzsimmons to a finish on March 17, 1897, for a purse of $15,000 to be given by Dan Stuart. The place of the battle is to be announced before Feb ruary r. Stuart is to post a forfeit of $5,000 in the hands of Richard K. Fox or Al Smith, and COrbett and Fitzsim- mons must each post 5000 as a guar antee of good faith. George Sler of Chicago is named as referee
 Corbett signed the articles before he noticed that they reserve all privileges for Stuart, and he became somewhat excited when he thought of the kineto- scope privileges. After some reflection he finally said: ''I would not change the articles for $1,00000O but if I find out that Julian or Fitz are to receive the privilege money I will kick for my share"
 Fitzsimmons was not present nor rep resented.

STEAMER ESSEX OVERDUE.
May Have Put Into Some Harbor During
 the Storm.

Boston, Dec. 17.-Steamer Essex, of the Merchants and Miners Transpor- tation line, Captain Bond. is nearly two days overdue from Baltimore and Nor- folk. She must have encountered the full vent of the recent northeaster. The local agent of the line believes that she put into some harbor where she found shelter.
 Captain Dickerman of the Metropoli- ton line steamer Herman Winter states that the strom wrought sad havoc with buoys and lightships that mark the dangerous spots in the sound. He pass- ed Pollock Rip at 7:30 o'clock this morning and discovered that the Pol- lock Rip lightship. instead of being in it's proper position. has dragged to a point about two miles west by south from the Handkerchief lightship. The bell buoy in Pollock Rip had gone from it's position and was nowhere in sight. The whistling buoy had dragged close to the Pollock Rip can buoy.

Iforts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly direct ID. There is comfort in
the knowledg ;, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but sim ply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
: One remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali

all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one

cause their husbands have lost
their health 2"
A mans health is an easy thing
to lose. A little care and the right
medicine make it easy to regain
lost health. Neglected disease
breeds death. Over work, expos
ure, wrong eating, wrong living
generally may engender disease.
Symptoms vary, but by far the
majority of diseases are marked by
a loss of vitality, a wasting Of
flesh. The lungs and the stomach
suffer. Disease germs enter the
system through these two CT
gans.
Recovery means driving out the
germs and building up strong,
healthy tissues. The medicine that
will do it quickest and most thor
oughly is the medicine to take.
That medicine is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
searches out disease-germs wher-
ever they exist and exterminates
them. It is a powerful, invigorat-
ing tonic. 1t promotes digestion,
creates appetite, cures biliousness
and all liver, kidney and stomach
disorders, and so all blood dis
eases. All medicine dealers.
