New York, Feh. l9.-Joe Vendig,
@ Well known sporting man o! thie
city, today instructed his attorneys to
begin legal proceedings against Dan
A. Stuart OF Texas for failing to keep a
HiRued agreement whereby Vendig
and Stuart were to share the expenses,
profits or losses, OF bringing Corbett
and Fitzsimmons together for n fight
In prize ring. Vendig claims that
the agreement was signed in June,
1898, and that Stuart had violated the
contract.
Reviewing tho case, Vsndig said
that Stuart promised that the counsel
fees would be 1900 and the rent oil
the arena $500.
Vendig claims that he told Stuart
to go ahead, but alter the latter
reached ptXis he wrots a letter saying
that the cost would be very much
more.
1t Ia now a matter OF history that
the bout was prohibited in Texss, ow.
ing to the action o the Legislature, aud
after n IIuitless attempt to bring 1t oil
in Atksnsaa, Stuart presented an item
lied bill to Vendig for expenses
amounting to $50, 522, Al, aud an add.
tioDal bill OF Sl,2U0.
When stuart and Nendig parted
at Little Rock, Ark, in the autumn OF
| 1896, Vendig says that Stuart promised
to follow Fitzsimmons to Australia,
and that he told Stuart to go ahead
and that he would be with him in
anything hs should do. A month
J later Venuig received wire from
Stuart, who was tben ut Housto II,

simmons to fight in Texas. Vendig
says ne notified Stuart that he was
willing to abide by tho agreement.
Stuart came on to New York with
articles signed by FiIznmmons to
fight Corbett as well as u verbal con-
tract TO fight MahsT. When Fitz,im,

When Hancock's headquarters were

for some time, awaiting the arrival of
the head of Warren's troops. Hancock 5

of the seats of the ambulance, convers-
ing with General Grant, who had dis
mounted aud was sitting on the ground
with his back against tree, whiting
stick, when the sound Of firing broke
forth directly in front. Hancock sprang
up, seized his sword, which was lying
near him, buclIled it around his waist
and cried, MY horse, my horse" The
scene was intensely dramatic and re
called wildly to the bystAnders the cry
of Richard III on the field Of Bosworth.
Grant listened moment without chang

ing The firing is all on one side. 1t

ORIGIN OF "REsTAURANT."
An Interesting Pathological Fact From
France.

An Intcrcsting Pathological Fact From
France.
The French author, Maurice Cabs re-
Gently published in La Republiquo
Franchise an essay about the restaurants
and eating houses of Paris, relating
many interesting details. His story Of
how the term restaurant was first
used is well worth repeating Fora long
time inns and eating houses in France
were only intended for the benefit Of
travelling people, for the people took
their meals ut home, and restaurants
were unknown. The first enterprise of
the kind was founded in Paris in 1865.
A citizen by the name of Boulanger
opened in the Rue des Poulies an eating
house where soup, meat, fowl and eggs
were served a chronicler relates that
meals were served there on small, round
marble tables, and everything was scru-
pulously clean.
Over the entry to this first eating
house the proprietor had hung II sign,
upon which were the Latin words, we
mite ad me omnes que stomacho labora-
it's ct ego restaurabo vosn Come unto
me all We whose stomachs need attention,
and 1 will restore them). This is apar-
ody on the well known Biblical quota
ton, Come unto me all We who labor
and are heavy laden, and l will give you
rest, " only in place of labor and heavy
laden he said, whose stumRchs need at
tention" The word ''restaurabO, " from
the Latin "restaurare" (restore or re-
fresh), was the main characteristic Of the
new establishment and gave it its name.
Boulanger amassed Il large fortune, for
his enterprise proved eminently success
full, hut he was soon initiated, some of
his imitators becoming more famous
than he, like Borel, at whose place 1870
years ago meals could be had for 100
| francs ($30) per cover.

NAVAL LESSONS FROM The WAR.

Experts Reach Important Conclusions.
New York-The Washington corre-
spondent of the Herald telegraphs:
While important conclusions have been
deducted from the experience of our
navy in the existing war which will be
of benefits to the construction of future
war ships these conclusions tend rather
to emphasize already known than to
establish any new truths. This was
developed during conversations | have
had with prominent naval experts on
duty in Washington. These experts
have been impelled as much because
of love of their profession as on ac-
count CT the nature of their duties to
closely follow the war, and being desir-
Gus OF advancing the navy in every way
possible they have written for and re-
ceived reports showing the performance
of ships and ordinance and of different
features of the vessels, from which
they have drawn their conclusions.
have talked with Captain A. S.
Crowninshield, chief OF the Bureau of
Navigation: Captain +. w. Dickens,
principal assistant to chief of the
Bureau of Navigation; Captain Charles
O'Neill, chief of the Bureau of Ord
nance; Chief Naval Constructor Philip
Hichborn, Engineering Chief G. w.
Melville and Civil Engineer NJ. 7. En-
dieott, the last named chief of the
Bureau of Yards and Docks. Ny talk
with thaSa avnorto dayala,s &hat .lo
war has thus far shown: First, that
the gun is still the dominating factor
in war; second, that rapid fire guns are
especially valuable, but that it is adj
visable to retain guns of large calibers;
third, that smokeless powder is abso-
lutely necessary to modern warfare;
fourth, that there should be great re-
duction in the amount of woodwork ON
board ship and that that left on board
should be fireproof, some going so far
as to say that woodwork should be
eliminated entirely, its place to be
taken by some other substance; fifth,
that the armor should be distributed
over the entire ship rather than be
limited to the section where its vitals
are located; sixth, that monitors are
useless for cruising purposes or for
lighting in rough waters; seventh, that
the United States should have larger
navy, with speedier battleships and
fast armored cruisers and with coaling
stations in different sections OF the
globe, where men OF war can procure
supplies and make repairs il necessary.
