JAMES j. CoRBETT has formally chalen-
ged Robert Fitzsimmons to meet him in the
prize ring, and has deposited $1,000 as a
forfeit. Fitzsimmons declares that he will
pay no attention to challenges. He added,
however, that he proposed to follow Cor

AT a mass.meeting, held at Chicago last
Wednesday night, over 200 Greeks re-
solved to do all they can to aid their native
country in the war with Turkey. Amid
great enthusiasm 400 OF them signed the

were fatally injured. The accident oc-
CURED near Wilcox, Ala, where passen-
rer train was thrown from a high trestle
into the stream below. The spikes holding
the rails on the cross ties on the trestle had

No more breaks are reported in Louisiana
levee district, although the entertainments at
Farriday, in the northern part OF Concordia
parish, are reported very weak and break
may occur at any hour. The crevasse at
Biggs is now seething torrent and the
waters are spreading rapidly throughout
Marison parish. At Cowpen the levee is
leaking badly, and although all that men
can do is being done to hold it, many are of
the opinion that break will occur sooner
or later. The town Of Vidalia is in very
critical condition, and many of the inhabi-
tants are hastily packing their most valu-
able effects and leaving for NatcheZ. The
waters from the Biggs crevasse are expec-
ted to inundate the town by Wednesday or
Thursday.

in that time 81, 872 ems of solid nonpareil.
The feat was performed during ordinary
working hours, in composition on book
now under publication in the Office, from
manuscript copy and with no preliminary
preparation. Baker, who is an extraordi-
nary rapid operator, simply made the an
nouncement that he would break the rec
ord and requested that a man be detailed to
time and others to measure his string. He
started at the usual hour of composition,
took an hour for lunch and made the record
above in eight hours actual work.

ELECTRIC BITTERs.-Electric Bitters
is medicine suited for any season,
but perhaps more generally needed
when the languid, exhausted feel
ing prevails, when the liver is tor
pid and sluggish and the need of tonic
and alternative is felt. A prompt use of
this medicine has often averted long
and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No
medicine will act more surely in coun-

the malarial poison. Headache, indi-

A DISPATCH received at Berlin from Con-
stantinople says that the landing Of the
Greeks at Elenetheropoli, on the coast of
Macedonia, facing the gulf of Salonica, their
intention being to cut the railway between
Salonica and Elassona, thus destroying
communication with Edhem Pasha's base
of supplies, has failed. 1t is added that the
Greeks lost fifty men killed and many
wounded in the attempt, which was re-
pulsed by the Turkish troops.

Last night telegraphic news came
to this town giving meagre details
of an appalling disaster at Moor

at 3;45 yesterday afternoon.
The telegram stated that ter

every house in the place except two;
also killed quite number of people
and wounded many others.
Number of killed was given as
eight, but this is not authentic.

Could Not Play at the Opera House.
The Minnie Maddern Fiske Com
pany, which was to have appeared
at the opera house last night did not
give any performance on account
of the condition of the house. The
rain had leaked through on the
stage so that 1t had flooded the en-
frances and ran down the stairs
leading to the dressing rooms, max
ing them unfit rvr use.
Business Manager Smith, speak
ing OF the matter said to us last
night "There hardly seems any
excuse for such condition as the
opera house was in when / went
over it. We came in on the after
noon train from Shreveport, intend
ing, of course, to give our perform
ance as usual, but when ] saw the
B5od on the stage, at once decid-
ed it would be out of the question to
allow the company to dress under
such conditions, so, of course,
would not give the performance" ;"
We trust Maj. Chic will at once
repair the house and stop all leaks
Since the above was written we
learn from Manager Ehrlich, that
timers had been at work on roof,
and had not finished, was the cause

HAPPY ACCIDENTS.

How many of US are there who
Work on from day to day,
Performing tasks we have TO do
In careless sort of way
Who would not grumble, NOPE and sigh,
And harbor discomfort,
lid we not hope to profitby
"some happy accident ~
Yon teamster, driving down the road,
Whistling as lie goes,
Swapping the graceful, plated goad,
Beside his horses nose,
Might be sour misanthrope
But for the ever present hope
Within his bosom pent,
That some day he Will have his due,
That Fate Will stoop to reach him through
"Some happy accident"
The miner in his gloomy cell,
The weary fingered clerk,
They that in wretched novels dwell,
And only live to work,
They, too, hope on from day to day,
And, hoping, stumble down the way,
Each drowning discomfort
With Geathless faith in that pale ghost
Which man has ever prayed for most,
"Some happy accident
Alas, how many men have died,
In want, despair and doubt
Because they drifted with the tide,
Instead of branching out?
Go forth, o, brother, challenge Fate!
God surely never meant
That man should just work and await
"Some happy accident.''

The Art of Kissing.

Ieople VIII KISS, yet not one III
hundred knows how to extract bliss
from lovely lips, any more than he
knows how to make diamonds from
charcoal. And yet it is easy, at least
for us. First know whom you are
going to kiss. Don't make mis-.
take, although a mistake may be
good. Don't jump like trout fo-
a fly, and smack good woman on
the neck, on the ear, on the corner
Of her forehead, or on the end of
her nose, or knock off her lace fall.
The gentleman should have clean
face, kind eye, and mouth full of
expression. Don't kiss everybody.
Don'5 sit down to it; stand up.
Need not be anxious about getting
in a crowd. Two persons are plen-
ty to corner, and catch q kiss more
persons would spoil the sport. Take
the left hand of the lady in your
right let your hat 60 to-any place
out OF the way; place the left hand
| gently over the shoulder OF the
lady, and let it fall down the right
side, towards the belt.
Don't be in a hurry draw her
| gently, lovingly, to your heart. Her
head will fall lightly upon your
shoulder-and handsome shoulder
strap it makes. Don't be in hur-
nv; send a little life down your left
arm. Her left hand is in your
right; let there be an impression to
that, not like the grip of a vice, but
gentle clasp full OF electricity,
thought and respect. Don't be in a
hurry. Her head lies carelessly on
your shoulder. You are nearly
heart to heart. Look down into hel
half-closed eyes. Gently, yet man
fully, press her to your bosom
Stand firm. Be brave, but don't bt
in a hurry. Her lips are almost
open. Lean slightly forward with
your head, not the body. Take
good aim the lips meet /; the eyes
close; the heart "opens the sou
rides the storms, troubles and sor'
rows of life (don't be in hurry
heaven opens before you; the world
shoots under your feet as meteor
flashes across the evening sky (don't
be afraid); the nerves dance before
the just erected altar of love, as
zephyrs dance with the dew trim
med flowers the heart forgets its
bitterness, and the art of kissing is
learned. No fuss, no noise, no fut
tering. Kissing don't hurt it DOM
