That Famous Ball.

| The Bradley Martin ball is still
| being discussed. 1t has gotten into
the Nineteenth Century club in New
| York.
Prof Franklin H. Giddings, of Co
lumbia university scouts the idea that
luxury is good for the poor because it
distri outes wealth. He reasons that
since the fund Of mental ability and
muscular energy at the disposal of
society is limited, the expenditure of
these forces in producing things that
give but a moments pleasure instead
of producing the things that would add
permanently to the comfort and we'll
being of mankind must be, from an
economic point of view, condemned.
John Graham Brooks, of Boston, re-
marked that the question of the cul-
pable luxury touches one of the most
profound changes likely to take place
in the social morality of our time. A
dozen Harvard students go into Boston
and, as they say, make money fly"
until or o'clock in the morning. In
that time they have consumed the
equivalent of 800 bushels of wheat. Il
would" he said, like to have them
earn the amount they have expended,
by delving and sweating and tOiling
until they have produced 500 bushels of
wheat. Tnen they would have had
their first practical lesson in elemen-
tary economies"
The New York Tribune says that the
ball was not enormously eXLravagant;
that the Waldorf bill was less than
$4,000: that the menu shows the supper
was not nprecedented; that the wines
were brought by Mr.. Martin from
Europe. The costumes were far from
excessive costliness-many were of old
date, some few were inherited, some
were borrowed from the Metropolitan
opera house singers, or from actors:
local costumers worked up old stock for
many more. In point of fact, it
was very ordinary social function.

Tom Sharkey, who is recognized as
authority on the fight, because he has
fought both men, has fallen out with
Corbett. Sharkey expresses himself in
the following terms about PompadOur
jim:
II will teach Corbett lesson that

Il have something up my sleeve, and
it is in my power to turn Corbetts face
| to the wall IN every city in the country.
If gentleman JIM doesn't keep his
mouth shut will show him up in his
true cOlOrs.''
Sbarkey was asked what he meant
by saying that he had something up
| his sleeve.
Il mean that 1 have letter from
Corbett. over his own signature, that
would brand him as a faker all over
| the world" answered Sharkey, 81 re-
! ceived this letter previous to my four
round go with Corbett, and it's publ
cation would create sensation. | was
! too honest to enter into his scheme,
and our contest was on it's merits.''
! Sharkey made insinuations that
greatly reflected on Corbett and was
asked to put his accusations in writing
| over his own signature, but the cham
pion stated that for $500 he had refused
10 sign any papers until after the 18th
of March.
| NV nat Is your opinion OF the tght:'
| was asked.
"If it's on the square, why Fitzsim-
mons will put COrDett out of business, -
was the answer. He is not in the
same class with Fitzsimmons. That is
my honest opinion, although i made
believe recently that Corbett would
win, but | had reasons for declaring
myself. But you bet money that Cor
bett will try and square the whole
business. He does not believe in TAX
ing any chances, and when L catch him
at Carson 1 will make him eat his words

NATURAL FAT.
GETTING FAT Is ONLY A QUESTION
OF EATING PROPER GOOD.

Thin people who want to get fat should
eat proper food and digest 1t.
That Is the only natural way.
The trouble with most thin people Is that
they suffer from indigestion.
They don't digest their food. They don't
get enough nourishment. They are slowly
being starved. They are poisoned by the
products of fermented and putrid food.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, a gentle, nat
ural, vegetable digestive, attacks the food
In your stomach just like the digestive
juices, and turns It into healthful nourish-
ment. 1t helps your stomach naturally.
1t makes thin dyspeptics fat. 1t makes
poisonous blood pure. II tones up and
cures the stomach.
Nothing will cure indigestion like
Shaker Digestive Cordial, because nothing
else goes so naturally about II.
This Is why 1t has been 80 successful In
relieving nausee, vomiting, dizziness,
weakness, bad taste, fever, hatulence, con
stipation, loss of appetite, headache, neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, ETC., by curing the
disorder which causes the symptoms.
A few doses will prove It's value, but you
won't get fat on one bottle.
All druggists. Ten cents for trial
