FITZSIMMONS AND CORBETT'
More Talk of Their Again Meet
ing in the Roped Arena.

MILWAUKEE,, Dec. 9.-It is almost
certainty now that Robert Fitzs1m-
mons, the present champion pugilist OF
the world, and j. ]. Corbett will meet
in the roped arena to again battle and
decide the question for all time. This
fact was gained by a representative OF
the Evening Wisconsin" after an in
terview with Mrs FitZsimmons, who
is in this city. This is the first time
Mrs. Fitzsimmons has given expression
to her thoughts in the matter since
the fight in Carson.
Before the contest last March F4tz-
simmons promised his wife he would
never enter the ring again without her
consent. While Mrs. FitZsimmons does
not come out openly and say there
will be another battle, it can be readily
seen that she is not anxious to put a
block in the way of her husband as
regards his plans for the future. In
reply to question put by the reporter
whether she would give her consent,
Mrs. Fitzsimmons replied:
'Well really, that is a difficult ques-
ton to answer, but I will say that l
do not care to stand in my husband s
way. If he thinks better to give Cor
bett another chance, I may change my
mind, but until I do there is no pros

IF Fairbanks &CO.'S
Liberal Offer.

Messrs. Fairbanks Company
the great soap manufacturers OF
Chicago, have placed on the mar
ket a new bath and toilet soap. Ii
is hard pressed, clear white
soap. The price is 25c for three
large cakes. As far as we know
there is nothing better for the
money in soapdom.
1t takes years to introduce a
new soap, but Fairbanks Com
pany are impatient. They want
to introduce it at once. In order
to do SO they give with every pur-
chase of 25c worth of soap a beau
tiful six-leaf calendar for 1898,
done in twelve colors. The Cal
endars alone are we'll worth 25c,
and Fairbanks Company can only
afford to give them because they
believe that those who buy the
soap once will continue to buy it
in the future.
We have given Fairbanks Com
pany booth near our Toy De
partment, where their saleswoman
will sell you the soap and give
you the calenders.

another season of anxiety on Dingley's
part next spring, with another extra

An AUTOMATIC CENTRAL
MARVELLOUS CONTINUANCE IF IT
PROVES A SUCCESS.
Operators Are Unnecessary and Con-
One Subscriber Can Call Up Another

News ola singularly novel and APP
parently very useful invention comes
from Germany, says the Washington
Post. 1t is connected with the tele-
phone and it's object is to render tele-
phonic communication infinitely more
easy than it is at present. NJ. Apostle
loft, a skilled engineer, to whom credit
for the invention is due, expresses con-
appliance will come into general use,
and that the result will be a complete
revolution in all offices and other
places where telephones are used. In
England, according to Mr.. Fradiss,
who is an expert on such matters, the
officials connected with the postal and
telegraph business have ordered a
thorough test to be made of NJ. Apos-
tolotfss appliance, and have expressed
their intention of using it in case it
should be found to possess the adj
vantages claimed for it,
The invention consists of an auto
matte arrangement by means of which
direct communication can be obtained
with one or more persons. BY it's use
each subscriber can personally COM
municate with another subscriber in
any other city or town, no matter how
distant it may be, and as many mes
sages can be sent simultaneously from
one city to another as there are tele-
phones in each city. Conversation
cannot be overheard by any third per-
son, and person when in communica-
ton with one or with several other
persons, can prevent them from inter-
rupting him or from cutting off his
communication.
In order to communicate with an
other person by telephone not more
than half a minute is required The
system can be easily applied to all tel
ephone lines, and there need be no in
crease in the number of lines between
subscribers and the central station.
In order to obtain these advantages
all that is necessary is to add to the
telephone of each subscriber a small
apparatus by means of which he will
be able to communicate automatically
through the central station with
whomsoever he may desire to con-
verse. In the central station more
important change is necessary. There
all the ordinary telephone instruments
are replaced by a single table, on
which are laid the automatic commun-
icators. This table can be placed in
any room, and the room can always re-
main closed. 1t necessarily follows
that there is no longer any use for a
large corps of employees at a central
station, one person being able to do
the work which has hitherto been
done by so many.
