Jem Mace notified Barney Aaron that
he would back Corbett to the extent of
$500. Mace, who knew Fitzsimmo ons
before he came to America, says Fitzsim-
mons, while being great fighter, is not
up to Corbett in point of cleverness, and,
like AL Smith, he thinks Jim will win
handily.
Jimmy Hayes, who has been offering
even money right along, took few small
wagers on Corbett yesterday at 10 to 8.

his rundown. "You and have played
marbles together you know, and l would
go more on your judgment than on any
body's. Speak right out in meeting, old
man, and let US have your honest opin-
ion."
.WelI Jim," replied Nealon, "what
have just seen lifts load from my mind.
You did look kind Of jaundiced when you
left home. and although l would not have

to beat me at handball though. I'll take

The other members of the party agreed
with Nealon that Corbett was ripo for a

FRESNO, CAL, March 14-Professor E.
A. Baird is in Fresno once more after an
absence of nearly nine years In the East.
His wife, he says, is acting as organist at
revival meeting in Visalia, and will join
him as soon as she finishes her engage
ment.
Professor and Mrs. Baird, who was then
Mrs. j. G. Tuttle, were the principals OF a
very salacious scandal immedi ately before
they left Fresno nine years ago. Both
were married and had families residing in
the colonies. Both were music teachers,
and their intimacy first began while Civ
ing concerts together in different towns
of the valley. They also gave entertain
ments al neighboring places In this
county, and according to the story brought
out during the divorce proceedings OF Mr..
and Mrs. ]. G. Tuttle, it was on the even
ing rides to and from these points that
the entente cordiale between the two
music teachers was established.
Mr.. Tuttle remained home and looked
after his farm and did not accompany his
wife on these occasions. Mrs. Baird
stayed at home, not suspecting her faith
less husband. The result was chat the
Tuttle family was broken up and man

made scandalous charges against his vile
and Professor Baird, and she replied with
grave accusations regarding his doings in
| the East before they came to California.
After the divorce was procured, Mrs.
futile assumed her maiden name OF Juliet
McCleland and left Fresno. Shortly after
| that Professor Baird also departed. and
| later it was learned that they had joined
| each other in Oregon, where they contln-
ned giving concerts.
After the professors unceremonious de-
| parture Mrs. Baird instituted proceedings
| for divorce, and it was granted. Then
| Professor Baird and Mrs. Tuttle or Miss
McCleland, were married. They went
East, and it is reported that they toured
! the country, he as an evangelist. and she
as vocalist. They spent number OF
years in Michigan, where. Professor Baird
went into business, but he was not very
successful. They then came West again.
Mr. Tuttle died in this city few years
ago. Harry TuttIe, son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Tuttle is now said to be winning fame IN
New York as a eornet-player, in fact he
is classcd among the best IN the country.

NEW YORK, N. Y, March 14.-The
talk concerning the big fight is as volumi-
nous as ever. All the sports who had any
intention of seeing the mill are now on
their way to Carson. Opinions as to who
will win are still at variance, but the
betting seems to be shade in favor of
Corbett.
Fitzsimmons' stronghold seams to be on
the West Side, where Peter Maher is pop
uIar. The majority OF the Irishman's
friends contend that if Fitzsimmons can
whip Maher so easily he ought to do the
trick when he faces Corbett. Jim Burns
is one of Fitzsim mons ardent supporters
in this section of town. He has over
$4,000 already wagered on Bob, and if the
latter looses he will, he says, 60 "clean
broke"

There was an air of decided repose around
Cooks ranch this morning, as Fitzsim-
mons contented himself with a plunge
bath and drive into town with his wife.
The CGrnishman took an off day and did
no road work, as q furry of snow this
morning softened the roads, which were
in very muddy condition.
There were plenty Of visitors at Shaws
Springs. Several members of the Olympic
Club Of San Francisco who have known
Jim from childhood called on him and he
was very anxious to hear their opinion as

but a number of reasons have combined to
make this change inadvisable. The prin-
cipal reason Is that the large majority OF
the students come from the state Of Vir-
ginia, and a seminary at Richmond which
will take the place Of q college will be
much more suitable than at WASHINGTON,
where the public schools and Howard Uni
versity give colored young men and wo-
men all the educational facilities that can
possibly be needed. Wayland Seminary Is

Mud In East Warrington.
or Of The Evening Star,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The recent heavy storms have again at
tracted attention to the deplorable mud
puddles on the Capital Traction Company's
line in East Washington. Every one ac-
quainted with this section is familiar with
the fine strip of parking through which the
Capital Traction Company's cars trans-
gress. This parking Is the pride of the
section, and serves both an ornamental
ton and vehicle protector. To board a car
one must stand upon the parking, and, per
the novelist, thereby hangs a tale.
Before the present regulations requiring
the cars to stop on the near side of the
street were promulgated a small pavement
was laid before the stopping places. This
was for the purpose Of protecting the feet
from the mud puddles that collected there
on rainy days. When the order was re-
scinded, the old pavement, being on the
wrong side, became useless, and now the
car patrons are Obliged to ramble in mud
ankle-deep for the pleasure Of car ride.
Complaint having been made, the Com
missioners replied that the company had
been ordered to pave the parking, but al
though this has been some time ago the
mud still sticks to the beautiful gowns OF
the ladies and the trousers of the men.
The mud Is not the only Objectionable fea-
ture of this public nuisance. The pave
ment, now being on the reverse side, Is ex-
ceedingly confusing and dangerous to
strangers, and causes no end Of awkward
mistakes and tedious delays.
AS the inauguration week will undoubt-
edly bring the customary characteristic
weather, 1t would be well for the company
to proceed Immediately to business, as our
mud is too valuable to be taken away by
visitors on their wearing apparel, even as
souvenirs of Washington, D. C.
