SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13.-James ].
Corbett has already mapped out his plans
for training at Shaw's Springs. He has re-
ceived a telegram from Billy Egan INTERIM
ing him that everything is in readiness for
his arrival. Corbett will spend his days of
training in this manner: Soon after he
rises in the morning he will take cup of
coffee and dish of oatmeal. Then he will
knock about, stroll over the hills ard in a
lonely way pass the time until his first meal
of the day, to be taken at 10. Then a little
light work, wrist machine, bag, pulleys and
dumbbells. About IL o'clock he will strip
for the work of the day. This will consist
OF running. handball wrestling, boxing and
bag punching. While being rubbed down.
Corbett thinks his blood will be cooled suffi-
soon as he Is dressed Then more loafing,
followed by sleep This routine will begin
soon as he reaches Nevada.
General Passenger Agent T. p. Goodman,
of the Southern Pacific Company. has an
nounced that the company has Joined the

does he care which man wins. as he will be

u., The devotion off, land terrapin to it's

Paoli, Ind. In 1910 Miss Davie Peele, of
that city, was ten years old. While play

one of the creatures and took it home.
Its curious ways pleased her and she
put it in box to keep as pet. The
little prisoner refused food and chafed
at confinement. AS the young lady was
about to release the terrapin some enc
suggested that she carve her name in
it's shell. She did this, adding the
date. The little animal was let go. Il.

THE BUBONIC PLAGUE

Ancient Plague. =" =

IL 1s CONCEDED to he q Revival of the
Ancient Plague. "a
" The plague which has been raging
for six months past at Bombay, and to
some extent at other places in India, is
conceded to be 1.-The true plague" In
it's general character it is Identical with
"the black DEATH which in the four
tcenth century destroyed, it is said,
100000 lives in London, the lives of
seven-eighths of the population OF Eng
land and some 25,0OO,00o persons, or
one-fourth of the populatioa of Europe.
But sanitary science is supposed to have
mitigated it's virulence or lessened it's
opportunities. In Bombay, with $780,
900 inhabitants, the mortality is kept
down to about 1000 per week. Calcutta,
with 100000 inhabitants, owing to ef-
ficient sanitation is substantially free
from the plague. 5::Sst... g..
At the first outbreak in the past year
nearly every case was fatal. Up to the
third week of November 73O persons
had been attacked, and of these SIT
died. It's victims are almost uniform
~ very poor and ill-fed natives. The
English seldom or never take the dis
ease. The. steps taken to purify the
cities of India, in order to protect them,
consist chiefly in cleansing them by a
liberal use of water. AS in fighting
the famine, SD in fighting the plague,
the Hindoos are indebted to the arts
and sciences of Europe. But for the
foreign government, with its railroads
and advanced ideas, the mortality of
India would during the present Attic
ton of famine and plague be increased

A recent dispatch from swedesboro,

Those who nave studied the habits Of
the carp and become convinced Of its
destructiveness with respect tn other
fishes will rejoice at the possibility Of
its determination from American wa
tiers. There is an act OF the New Jer-
sey legislature which imposes heavy
fine on any person who introduces Ger.
man carp into the waters of that state.
The coming Pennsylvania legislature
would DO well to enact similar law
More than year ago the state board of
fish commissioners, after a careful in
vestigation, came to the conclusion that
the presence of German carp in our wa
tiers is detrimental 10 the increase of
much better food fishes, and decided to
discontinue their Distribution. The
commissioners of game and fisheries OF
New York reached an Identical decision
about the same time. 'G
For years the United States fish com

the German carp, and advocated its

Commander Brice, is actra,ed by no
