WHY CORBETT LOST.

Billy Delaney Says 1t Was Because
Jim Would Not Take His Advice.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 26,-In an
interview Billy Delaney, Corbett's
trainer at Carson, said that Jim lost
the fight because he would not take
his advice. He said that Corbett
worked altogether too hard the last
few days before the fight, merely to
show off before lot OF Eastern sports;
that he played too much handball;
that he refused to drink anything
when he needed little malt TO sup
ply the drain on his SYSTEM; that he
trained TO a feather edge, leaving not
an ounce OF surplus flesh on his bones,
and that he talked with people in his
corner during the fight instead OF re
covering his breath.
Delaney said during the last three
days preceding the tight FitZsimmons
did very little work, spending most OF
his time driving about with Mrs.
FliZsimmons, while CoroeJt on these
days gave eXh2CstinG exhibitions OF
his strength, skill and agility, which
greatly delighted his friends, but sap
ped his vitality sadly. All of this,
Delaney said, was against his advice
and in line with the advice given him
oy one OF his other trainers. This
advice, Delaney claims, cost Corbett
the Championship.

r G. Dun & Co. say today in their

floods in the Mississippi valley, and
The decision OF the Supreme Court

in railroad stocks has the result been
important. With confidence tnaJ bet

the very fact that prices OF products

Clerk S. IT. Neal and Deputy Collector
r. s. Galloway.
A Republican, who is in position
to know, says the Civil Service is one
OF President McKinley's "hobbies." !"
Unless the law is repealed there are
many Democrats who will be able to
retain their positions.
"Sheriff" 5. T. Neal, District At
torney Glenn's efficient clerk, is pro-
tected by the Civil Service and 1t ap-
pears now that he will I'LL the same
position under Capt. Glenn's successor.
Besides being thoroughly competent,
the Sheriff is jolly, whole souled,
good fellow and his many friends
would be glad to see him retain his
place.
They say the s'Sheriff," with little
law practice, would make first-class
District Attorney. He can draw a
bill now against viulater of Uncle
Sans law as well as a lawyer.
Deputy Collector e. s. Galloway.
who has charge of the revenue office
here, is also said to be protected by
the Civil Service law. Like "Sheriff
Neal" Bob is popular, efficient
and accommodating. The same can
be said of Mrs. A. A. Smith and Mr..

unconstitutional, and the old board
refuses to surrender. 1t met yester-
day and elected Democrats as treasu-
rer and chief of police and will make
other appointments today. The Re
publican board also met yesterday and
chose Charles S. p. Wright as mayor
and retained the other officials, all of

ted met with five others who claim

that the present bill Will tax the peo-

fourteen of the new schedules contain
rates higher than the Mckinley bill.
An amendment to the schedule of
the tariff bill has been agreed upon
by the Republican members Of the

doubtless will be adopted by the
House. Underwear valued at less
than ST. so per dozen has been rated at
30 per cent ad valorem in the Dingley

present rate is so per cent, anG, on

Our Public Schools.

The 1896 school tax receipts were

school days, or a fraction less than 13
weeks. This falls short II days of
the four months required by the Con-
stitution. The cost of the common
schools is s13, 500 day, or S2l2, 500 for
the II days. To raise the total
amount peeded the school rate would
have to be q 5 cents on the 800 val
uation. The legislature gave $50, 900
to encourage local taxation, and if the
townships can get together 1892 900 in
any way whatever, four months
