And 1t stands there In the gloom

Like the ghost whose vacant tomb
None may know.

Strumming fragments of Durand's
On the keys;
And hear the thin, sweet strain
OF the Plymouth hymns again.

FITZSIMMONS AS
AN EDUCATOR.

San Francisco, Cal, March
25.-Bob Fitzsimmons has
found an angel" in the per-
son OF a New York broker,
who proposes to establish the
retired champion as instruc-
tor in a new athletic club at
Gotham. Martin Julian said
last night:
For months we have had
plans under consideration, the
execution of which hinged
chiefly on the result of the fghal
at Carson. The building we
propose. to occupy is a five
story structure in the business
center of New York and occu-
pies a whole block. There is
associated with us a certain
rich broker of New York, who
IS fond of sports, and besides
him only the owner of the
building, Fitzsimmons and my
self know OF our plans. We
propose to give Instructions in
all sorts of athletic sport to
the best class of young men.
The place will be httePup very
handsomely, with all the luxu-
ries and conveniences of a first
class club. 1t will be our pur-
pose to have from time to time
/
such contests and exhibitions
of athletics as may be interest
ing to the members of the
club, and we shall offer such
inducements in the way Of
purses as will secure the best
athletes 10 be had. Nothing,
however, will be done that will
in any way conflict with the
law. By fall the building vii

FREE SEED HUMRUG.

The appropriation for the
free seed supply which the late
congress attempted to make
failed to carry. thanks to Mr.
CleveIand's refusal to sign the
bill. Now, if the fifIy-fifth con
grpss, will act as wisely as the
lately retired president and re-
iase to make further appropria-
lions for the distribution Of
free seed, growing abuse will
be abolished. The original
purpose for which this free dis
situation of seed was intende1 !
was TO supply agricnlturists
with rare and valuable seeds
not common TO this country.
The first bill having this object
in view was passed in 1889, and
the snrp of $1,000 was appro
prfated for the purchase of the
seeds. The appropriation made
by congress for this year $780,
900. This despite the fact that
Secretary Morton did not ex
pend the whole of the sum set
a-idp for this purpose last year,
which amounted to but $135,-
900. Ignoring this fact, and
also the protest of the secretary
against the useless and extra
VACANT custom of distributing
free seeds, the congress not
only concluded 70 conlinne il,
but re.increase the SUM appro
priated for the purpose of buy
Tng the seeds. A further aggra-
walton of this evil is the facI
that the cost to the government

with a capital stock Of 81 ess.,so. proposes
to erect al cost OF s+sGs.s smelling
plant of 4s tons daily CAPACITY and a
refinery of about twenty-five tons daily

the capacity mentioned can be shown by
comparison with the dimensions of neigh

When the plant is completed ready for

Of Seattle money before any part of

much larger interest in the successful
operation of the plant than the local
stockholders. IL will naturally use its ut
