Two Great Pugilists to Appear Here Next
Month.
Jim Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons are
to appear in this city next month
through the medium of the veriscope,
and illustrate how they battled for the
worlds championship at Carson City
last March. Manager Poll has secured
the original instrument with the pic
lures taken at the ring side for exhibit
ton at his Wonderland theater during
the week of November Is.
One of the remarkable features con-
nected with these veriscope pictures is
the great interest taken in the exhibit
lions by women. From the very first
production at the Academy of Music
in New York of these pictures, the Ia
dies were strongly in evidence at every
exhibition. AT the evening exhibitions
full evening dress were the rage and
fully so per cent. of the audiences were
ladies, while the matinees were almost
exclusively patronized by ladies. The
veriscope simply displays a clean scien-
tific contest between the two foremost
boxers of the world without the eff
fects of the blows, nor causing any
inconvenience to the spectators.
Manager Poll announces that notWith-
tsanding the enormous expense OF
bringing the original veriscope here
there will be no change in the prices
of admission.

Many will hear with sincere sorrow
or the death of Joseph Cunningham,
the veteran SAIL tent and awning maxi
er, who for forty years had been prom
inently identified with this business in
New Haven. Few men were better
known to our merchants and business
firms generally, and by all who knew
MIN he was warmly respected. He was
a pleasant man to meet, man upright
In all his dealings, ever obliging, gem
ial, tender hearted and charitable. He
leaves good name and his memory is
dear to and will be cherished by many
hearts. He was stricken with paralysis
about week ago and died at the home
of his son on Hotehkiss street yester-
day morning at about o'clock.
Dr, Whittemore, who was the attend
ing physician, pronounced the stroke
fatal from the first.
| He soon followed his wife, who passed
away few weeks ago His age was
| seventy-tWo years.
| He was native of New York, and
| before seventeen years of age he went
to work in one Of the sail lofts on South
| street, in the heart of the shipping dis
| tr1ct of New York city. After COM
pleting his term as apprentice he fell
IN with number of men who had
FORMED an expedition to go to Califor-
MIA in search OF gold. Mr. Cunningham
shlpped as sailmaker and accompan-
led the expedition to the Pacific coast
In AZ He returned about 1853 and af-
| terWard came to New Haven. He first
established his business in Fair Haven.
During that period the shipping bus
mess of this port was much better than
at the present time, and Mr.. Cunning
ham was kept busy fitting out the
! West Indiamen who came here with
molasses. About twenty-five years ago
! when the new building of the Young
| Mems Institute was erected, Mr.. Cum
! bingham removed his business there.
| While in Fair Haven he became a
member of the Veteran Volunteer Fire
mems association, and ran with old
! No. 8. He subsequently joined the
! Veteran Firemen's association.

ocrat, but he never held any public
office. He leaves one son, Selectman
and Fire Commissioner Joseph B. Cum
ningham, who was associated with his
father in business The funeral will be
held tomorrow afternoon at o'clock
with service at the house. The inter-
ment will be in the Evergreen ceme-
| terry.

children, the families of the married men
of the military force. Wen the ship
struck the troops were ordered to retire
from the upper deck, to which they had
focked en- the first alarm, and to fail In
below. This they did promptly. the most
perfect discipline prevailing. although the
men were fully conscious of the danger
which they were in. They were quietly
mustered on the tween decks without
confusion or excitement Owing to the
fact that the surf boats could not be
used in landing the troops, two officers of
the Warren Hastings were lowered from
the ships bow to the rocks, and when 1t
was found that a landing could be effected
in this way the Decentralization of the SOL

Ihereupon Commander Holland ordered
the lar ding of the troops to be stopped in
order that the women. children and sick
persons should be landed Immediately This
order was obeyed with admirable dis

United States consuls, which was prepared
by Mr.. Frank Partridge, formerly solicitor
OF the State Department. under special an
pointment by the Secretary of State This
is the first revision made of these regula-

grown much since that date and many
qualifications have been made to meet de-
cisions, treasury and executive orders,
there was great need for general revision
to simplify the work. This has been done
SO well that 1t will now be possible for
consuls to make themselves acquainted
