1t is a weil=known fact that

edly deteriorate.
Wampole's Elk Lithia is

1T is hermetically Y sealed

1t Came Back to Life and Startled the
Old DarkY.
A Georgia negro caught two pos
sums in a trap. He took them home,
put them in little pen, and gave it
out in the village that he would have
the latest one for supper that night.
He lived alone in little cabin on
the outskirts of the town.
Two boys, bent on mischief, over
heard him Boosting of the 'possum
and resolved to play trick on him,
They secreted themselves near his
cabin and saw him kill and cook one
of the 'possums. When he had placed
it, brown and juicy, on the table, he
went out doors to get some wood to
replenish the fire, which gave the
only light to the room.
Then one of the boys, having pre-
viously secured the live 'possum from
the pen in the yard, climbed into the
window, took the cooked 'possum
from the table and left the living one
in its stead
The old negro came in singing with
an armful of lightwood knots. He
replenished the fire and then sat
down to his repast.
In the dim light he reached for that
'possum, and then with yell he Jump
ed back.
"Lawd, have mussyp he cried. 81
killed 'em, en- / cooked 'em, en- /
took 'em up steamin', en- dar he sits
ez nachul ez life, wild not a hair SINCE
Oh, Lawd, DIES hep me tor git way
fun dis place, en- I'll preach de Cos
pei de balance er my days"
Then, keeping close to the wall, he
reached the door and jumped out
Once, before he made for the woods
he looked back, and seeing the pos
sum in the same position on the ia,
bic, he shook his fist in its direction
saying:
clay, dar, you gray devil-you
Yo' race aim no good nohowr-At

PHILApELPHIA,s CITY HALL:
.-as Been "a Years IN Construction
Architectural Features.

s-las Been "a Years in CONSTRUCTION
Architectural Features.
Tho municipal buildings Of thu
city Of Philadelphia, commonly
called 'the city hall, are, next TO The
parliament houses Of London, proba
bly, the largest single pile Of build
ings in the world, says City Govern
mcnt The average dimensions OF
the parliament houses are 800 feet by
$40 feet, giving an average inclosed
area Of about 251,000 square feet,
while those Of the city hall are 435 by
435 feet, giving an inclosed area OF
1925 square feet. The city hall
tower is, however, the highest struc-
ture Of the kind in the world, having
Il total elevation of 537 feet III
inches, which is only two feet lower
than the Washington monument.
Begun in 1872, it has been "a years
in construction, and up to the present
time has cost the city of Philadelphia
$20,214,7270S. Work on the tower
was only completed last fall and much
of the interior work on the upper floor
is still to be done and a clock placed
in the tower with dials each of a di-
ameter of 20 feet. When the build
ing is completed it is expected that all
departments of the city government,
included under the heads of legisla-
tive, executive and judicial, will be
conferred therein. There are in all
more than 500 rooms, with a total
flooring space of 621, 438 superficial
feet, or 141 acres.
There is no small difficulty in de-
Gliding under which, if any, of the
hitherto established orders or styles
Of architecture many of the most i'm
portant structures Of the present day
can properly be classed. The city
hall buildings are of this character.
Designed in the spirit of French art,
the architecture is essentially modern
in its leading features and presents a
rich example of what is known by the
generic term of the Renaissance"
modified and adapted to the varied
and extensive requirements Of o great
American municipality. 1t consists
of a single building under one roof,
and is built of white marble. The
whole exterior is bold and effective in
outline and rich in detail, being elab-
grated with highly ornate columns,
pilasters, pediments, cornices, en-
riched windows and other adorn-
ments. The four fronts are similar
in design. In the center Of each an
entrance pavilion 80 feet in width
rises to the height of 202 feet 1O1
inches, having receding wings of 1913
feet elevation. The fronts termi-
nate at the four corners with towers
four feet square and Isl feet high.
Archways Is feet in width by 36
feet in height, opening through each
of the four central pavilions, consti-
tute the four principal entrances to
the BUILDINGS.

take two Or three of Corbett's blows to
land one of his own, and every time he
gets in l want to tell you that it will
take thirty pounds off him My reason
for this statement is based partly on
what l saw in Bob's fight with Maher.
l think all fair-minded people will
agree with me when | say Maher is one
of the hardest hitters in the ring today.
Well, be smashed Bob twice good and
hard. but the blows did not bother him
at all.
when Fizsimmons landed on the
Irishmau The big fellow went down and
one more little punch put him to sleep.
Corbett's game will probably be to
spar at long range, the same as he
fought Sullivan, but as soon as he be-
gins to fight in real earnest Bob Will
keep moving aud it will be only a mat
ter of time before he is put out.
NAM people profess to believe that
FitzsimmOns won't be able to land on
him. Why ,not? Mitchell landed on
Corbett and made him think for a
while. II Mitchell could do that how
much better can our man, with his ad-
vantage in reach and every thing else,
do?
'.rake my word for it, as soon az
Fitzsmmons lands it will be all over
but the shout" Roeber concluded.
In the part of his interview where
he refers to Maher and Fitzsimmons
fight he has either been misquoted OF
has purposely misrepresented facts, be-
cause he was not present when that

my wrestling with Bob is hard.
earnest work. When he throws me it
is on the level. not gift. Four days
ago at Denver, for the first time since
we have been together, Fitzsimmons
scored a fall. purposeiy gave him an
opening, but to my surprise, despite all
my efforts to prevent him, he threw me
in a fair and square manner and
pinned me to the floor for three min =
utes. When l consider that 1 weigh

Fltz is stronger and more clever than
he ever was before and J don't see how
he can lose with Corbett. | think the
fight will be all over inside Of ten
rounds. Fitzsimmons comedies that
Corbett is clever, but our man is by far
the hardest hitter. He can afford to
