the tables south led four of spades, which
east took with the ace, and led a small
trump. This was won by west, and the
trump returned. east passing. West then
led small club, which east won with the
ace. Here is where the players left the
right road. Had east now 'raked" the
other two trumps and led small club,
east and west would have captured the re-
manning tricks.
Should south be a short suiter and lead

Is possible. 1t can be made by west passing

Interest Attaching to His Appearance

interest Attacn1nR 10 HIS Appe0 rance
Here Monday Night.
There Is q great deal of interest attach
ing to the appearance of Bob Fitzsimnons
in this city Monday night. He was at the
time of his fight with Corbett the center of
attraction all over the United States and
in many parts of the world, and in that
fight he developed characteristics which
are calculated to make him ever a greater
object of interest now than he was at that
time. His dogged determna ton to take
whatever punishment nigh. be meted out
to him by his opponent in the hope of
catching that opponent at an unwary mo-
ment, his generalship and the terrific blow
which brought him fame AMI money and
elevated him to the very top of the pugi-
listic ladder, have all combined to stir up
an intense interest in the champion, in his
movements and in his future, and his
friends, augmented by the curious-minded,
may be counted upon as showing to what
an extent this interest has arisen in their
attendance at his reception Monday night.
The show in which FitzSimmonS will ap-
pear and in which he will be supported by
a high-class vaudeville company, will be
held at Central Hall, over the 9Th street
market, on account of it's immense size.
Tickets have not only been placed on sale
in Washington, but all over the states of
Maryland and Virginia, and an immense
crowd is confidently looked for by the pro-
jectors of this affair. Fitzsimmons, Of
course. will be the central figure in what
ever show is put on. He will give an ath-
letic exhibition. assisted by his heavy
weight trainers, Hickey. Stelzner and
Roeber, and will, no doubt, fulfill all ex-
pectations that are raised by the announce
ment of his coming here.
The vaudeville features which will sur
round the champion will be of an extreme
ly high class. and will be fully in keeping
with the central figure. The list of feat

Hope springs eternal IN The human
breast. even r. It be the breast OF a
pessimist as apprehensivo as Senator
Hale's constituent. OF whom the follow
ing story is told by the Washington
correspondent of the New York Trlb-
une:
A local lawyer Of some prominence
who spends his summers at Castine, on
the coast Of Maine, says he was much
entertained by one Of the shippers liv-
ing in that town whom he frequently
hired to take him out fishing. This
worthy was possessed of unusual in
telligence, a pretty wit. and had a
credltable knowledge or current poll
tics, but he took a pessimistic view OF
the state of the country On the money
question he had thought long and deep
iy and had developed a system OF his
own for carrying on the financial af-
fairs OF the nation. He had eccentric
and original views on the civil service.
and In regard to foreign matters he out
jingoed the jingoes. The ideas and
views Of this fisherman were so radical
ly opposed TO the ideas and views OF
the man who represents that region in
the senate that it was an invariable
surprise to the visiting lawyer when he
wound up his remarks, as he always
did:
wal, there amt no sorter use in
botherin' my head bout these things.
fer ez long ez Gene Hale is in the
senate he'll save the country from goln
ter the dogs"

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct Is Attorney
General Boyle began quo warranto
proceedings in the supreme court to-
day, nominally to secure the forfeit
ure of the Kansas City Stock Yards
company. alleging that the company
was violating the state law under
which its charter was secured by main
tanning general offices in Kansas City,
Mo, but really TO compel the CON
pany to remove its general Offices to
Kansas City, Kan.
The company, the attorney general
claims, seeks TO evade the law enacted
hy the legislature last winter, now in
litigation in the federal court, by CON
tending that il is an interstate cor
poration This the state contends is
untrue, as the company is Kansas
institution and should conform TO the
Kansas law, which provides that the
general offices shall be maintained in
Kansas.
