coRBeTT WILL WIN,
Declares Shadow Maber, the wen-Known
 Local Boxer.

Being asked his opinion of the Corbett- -Fitzsimmons fight to take place next Wednesday,, Shadow Maber, the well-known local boxer who recently fought two ten round battles to draw with Billy Layton before the Pine Bluff Athletic Associ- ation, said this morning to a GRAPHIC reporter:
 "Corbett will win. 1t will simply be the triumph of science over strength. 1t will be the Sullivan Gorbett fight over again. Fitz is said to be hard hitter but it must be remembered that at the time of the Corbett-Sullivan mill, Sullivan was conceded to be the hardest hitter that ever lived, yet Corbett defeated him in a 2l-round battle. One blow would have settlet Corbett yet that blow Sullivan never deliver ed. Again, look at the fight betweed Con bett and Jackson; at the time of that fight I believe Jackson could have defeated any other man iii the world, Sullivan included. yet Corbett fought him for 6l rounds, at which time it was decided by the referee as "no contest because both of the men were physically unable to furth- CT continue the fight. Corbett has fought the hardest hitters in the world, and yet has won. and in this connection it must be remembered that Fitz has never fought either Jackson or Sullivan.
 ''No, o,sir; it will be in this fight as i'll the others in which Corbett has en- gagged, intelligence, science. and skill will win. and Corbett is the most intelligent, clever and skilled fighter that has eyer entered a prize ring.
 "If Corbett is in the first-class con- dition he is reported to be, he will win the fight next Wednesday.

NOT BEFORE MAY i.
GOV, JONES TALKS ABOUT THE
 EXTRA SESSION.
The Governor Says the People Have a Right to Such Legislation as They Want, and He Pro poses to Respect Their
 Wishes.
Arkansas Gazette.

The most definit tee information that Gov. Jones can give out rela- tive to the time for the extra session of the Legislature is that it will not be before May 1.
 "My present judgment is that the extra session will not be called for q time earlier than that. said Gov. Jones Saturday to q Gazette repre- sentative. "I may change my views US to the exact time, he continued, but you may say the extra session will not begin earlier than May 1.'
 The Governor was asked this question: If the Legislature had passed the necessary appropriation bills, but no railroad commission measure, would you have called them back to consider the railroad commission question alone?
 He replied: "I most certainly would have done so, because it is a measure demanded by the people, and by the Democratic platform of the State. In my opinion the peo- pie have a right to such legislation as the want, and while l am Gov crnor I shall respect their wishes when know them.
 Article 6. section 19, of the consti- tuition says:
 "The governor may, by proclama- ton, convene the General Assembly at the seat of government, or at a different place, if that shall have be- come since their last adjournment dangerous from an enemny orcontag- ious disease; and he shall specify in his proclamation the purpose for which they are conveend, and no other business than that set forth shall be transacted until the same shall have been disposed of, after which they may, by vote of two thirds of all members, elected to both houses, entered upon their journals, remain in session not ex- ceeding fifteen days"

The Mystery of Life.

Editor Stephens, of Minneapolis,
read paper yesterday morning In
the Baptist church on the Mystery of
Lite. He said in part, life is a mystery
in many respects, and philosophers in
all ages have, in their attempts to ex-
plain life's mysteries, only made the
situation darker. The speaker narrat-
ed the crude beliefs in early ages
relative to our planetary creation.
Wherever there are mysteries man has
tried to get in an explanation, rea-
son, which often is nothing more than
speculation. The speaker referred to
the geological formations in the expla-
nation of which scientists do make
themselves useful. Scientific exami-
England to be12, 900 years old. Science
has explained the finding of remains of
flowers and shrubs in the Arctic re-
gions, and remains Of a civilization
have been found in the tropics showing
that those parts of the earth have been
in much more temperate chimes han
those at present. Picture writing
on rocks show the first attempts of
mankind to express in written char
acters their thoughts. Formerly in
ventors were put to death, but now in
more Intelligent worshippers than
they were once. For what purpose
was man made? To glorify God.
Buddha says the great good that man
can do is to help his fellow man; So
crates says the greatest happiness
comes from doing good to Others.
Isaiah says the Lord is weary of sacri-
fees; it is better to do well, to help the
oppressed. Micah says the Lord re-
quires Us to yak honestly, to do justly.
And Christ says the chief end of man is
to glorify God.
The new pastor, Mr.. Milliken, of
KY, is expected early this
week, and regular services under the
new pastor will be held next Lords day
morning in the church.
