Bob wants his friends to understand
that ne is not getting to be a crank and
that he is not making himself uncivil and
offensive because he likes il. He says he
is trying to pick up some "easy" money
by acceding to the whim of one who has
dollars 10 throw away and he does not
want good thing spoiled. Therefore he
will continue to be exclusive, so far as
posing for photographs is concerned, until
st. Patrick's day.
Fitz recently developed surprising ap-
prehension in regard to the Marquis OF
Queensberry rules as interpreted by Ref
cree George Siler, and is still topic of
most serious discussion among the sports
and betting men already on the ground.
Just what FItz's conduct means is what is
puZzling them most.
Those who do not know the Cornishman
intimately and are unfamiliar with his
craft and cunning are becoming optspoken
in their belief that Bob is showing him.
self to be weakened by objecting TO the
rule which permits hitting with a free arm
in the clinches and also in the breakaway.
They argue that his conduct looks par
ticularly suspicious in view of the fact tn at
he has always been considered Cor rbett's 8
superior as an ln-nghter and verltabe
master of clinch and breakaway blows.
That he should oppose this method of
lighting at this late day is taken as evi-
dence that he is afraid of the big Califor-
nian.
But this opinion is not shared by the
wise ones, who are always on the alert for
the low down of every trick and turn in
sportdom. They well know that if Fitz
really feared any particular blow which
Corbett is practicing up he would not be
fool enough to let anybody know it, much
less the world.
These people shut one eye significantly
when the subject is broached to them and
advise you to keep your shirt on and
watch for the Joker"

Dan Stuart, the sport promoter, has de-
cided to give $1,000 cash for a live bird pig
con shooting tournament to be held in
Carson during the week of the fistic fes-
tivaL
Stuart is figuring upon having large
number of entries from the East, .as there
are several frst-class professional pigeon
shooters living on the other side of the
mountains.
In making canvas among the noted
trap shooters of this City it was learned
that OF the many very good shooters who
have established excellent records before
the traps not one man had decided upon
participating in the Carson shooting tour

Otto Feu1ner thought that pr1ze-fight-
ing and pigeon-shooting would not travel

purely gam bling scheme, he expected to

Feudner, taking part in the festival, be-
cause those of them who may desire to

the wherewithal to carry them through.
The expenses OF the trip and the entra nee
money, which is $50, will deter many
from going, even though they may fancy

they want to get as big odds as possible.
They have got to do something to prevent
the price from rising.
"You need not be surprised to hear of
Fitz kicking up ali sorts OF rows over the
rules and everything else between now
and the 17th of March. so as to keep up
the impression that be is shaky. Those
FOLKS know what they are doing, and they
are as sharp set as ever came over the
pike"
Fitz himself is inclined to come down
somewhat from his perch so to speak. in
reference to his complaint about the
rules. During a short chat 1 had with
him this afternoon while he was in town,
be declared that his sole objections had
been misunderstood.
"Siler does me an injustice when he
says that l expressed desire not TO live
up to the agree ment to lit in the clinches
aud breaks" he said. II don't think,
however, that he would intentionally
wrong me. He simply misunder-
stood. What l said was that l
was opposed to the issuance of
any set of rules at this time
which would bind me down to any
particular method of fighting and permit
Cor bet; to concentrate his practice on tao
tics by which he would be enabled 10
block my best blows. 1 suggested thai
the matter OF rules be left until the
day OF the contest and have them
announced while we are in the
ring. That would allow Corbett and
myself to practice all of the styles durino
our training and wound be as fair to one
as to the other. Lam not afraid to meet
Corbett at any style of fighting ever
heard Of, but I want a square deal,
that's all. 1 will be satisfied to allow
hitting in the clinches, or l will agree to
breakaway clean, but l don't propose to
enter into compact to adopt either style
until the day of the fight. Now there is
the whole story in nutshell"

Christian England and America! If Jeus were
to return with his bleeding feet and sad face,
what would he say of such Christianity? On
this bright Sunday morning feel like exhort-
ing my brethren of the healing art TO a
Christianity that is really Christ-ike.
These beautiful October days show the bount-
ifulness of God to man, particularly in this
God-favored country. There is no excuse for a
single hungry stomach nor single unsheltered
head among us; nor any child wage-laborer, nor
any woman slavery i'll fed, factory or sweat
shop or--those horrible abomnations the
name of which cannot write, and which exist
only in Christian nations!
In the greed of man Satan finds his strongest
hope; and in the gold standard, corporations,
trusts, "vested rights, etc, he finds his most
effective instruments. And with thes instru-
mentalities he usually gets the church on his
side. He is cunning.
Think of the thousand of dimpled babies in
this broad land, enjoying the sunshine OF this
beautiful morning. Think of them dozen
years hence. How many will be at wage-ser-
vice instead of at school? Think of them two
dozen years hence. How many will have had
opportunities to develope the proper kind of
manhood and womanhood Of which this Nation
shoulp be Constituted Unless we mend our
ways, each generation will be lower grade
than the one proceeding, for as the strengthe of
the aggregations of capital increases, their self
ishness will increase and the oppression from
them will increase. Shall we shamefully shirk
these problems and leave them heritage for
these innocent babes to grapple with when they
grow upb What will they think of us then?
The Revolutionary fathers were not made of
Sinking stuff Hence we are proud Of them.

This is to certify that the Mackay Opera
Company have opened all engagement of sum
mer opera at the Geological Gardens, Monday,
July 9Th. The original engagement was for
four weeks, but 50 popular was the company
with our patrons that at the end of four weeks,
the engagement extended for two weeks
longer and the interest Of the public still keep
ing up, the engagement was again extended
for three additional weeks, another attraction
being cancelled to make room for it. Our pa

amusement lovers in this city and they were
well satisfied with the work of the Mackay

Manager Mackay and Deshon are experienced
opera people and their organization is capable
of interpreting with success any opera, comic,

Monthly Talks.

1t is Sunday norning-bright and beautiful.
l usually write the Monthly Talks on Sunday
for in the calm of the sacred day one can see
both past and future IN truer perspective than
in the hustle of of weekday life. Besides, l
feel that this is the Lords work, and it is fit
ting to do it on His good day. I formerly
thought that Sundays should be given to con-
temptation of, and preparation for life beyond
the grave. now see that our dutis lie on this
side of the grave; and if we edo we'll here we
will do we'll there" In fact, l now believe
that our only possible service to God is our ser
vice to our fellow-men; it is arrogance to pre-
sumo that God needs our help; but that men
and the children of men need our help we see
proof every day. There is ignorance to Danish,
dark places to light up, want to relieve, injus-
tice to correct, etc., ETC., etc. No better use
can be made of Sunday than to prepare and
plan for this work, and make Gods creatures,
and fitting place to go from to the paradise
beyond This is the work that He has given
us to do. The way we have neglected it is in
Dictated in Mrs. Browning's poem, "The Cry
of the Children" Here is one verse:
"The young lambs are beating in the meadows,
The young birds are CHIPPING in the nest,
The young fawns are playing with the shadows,
The youngs flowers are blowing toward the
west
But the young, young children, o my brothers,
They are weeping bitterly!
They are weeping in the play time of the
others,
In the country of the free"

ONE KIND OF PROSPERITY.
Cotton Manufacturers Decide on a General
Reduction of Wages.

Fall River, Mass, Nov. Oft is announced
here that all but one, OF possibly two, cotton
manufacturing corporations have signed an
agreement to by tn, recommendation, of
special committee OF the Manufacturers asso-
ciation which has been appointed to take some
steps for improvement i'll the condition of the
local cotton industry, 1t is expected that a
shut down decided reduction of wages will
be advised
Some manufacturers opposed to shut
down; urging that it will not improve fairs.
They point out that Fall River no longer con-
trolls the markets and that it would simply al
low mills in other states to meet the improved
demand by running time. This is par
ticularly possible in the south, and the only
remedy is believed in securing national law
governing hours of labor
Some of the advocates OF cut down who are
represented on the committee favor a cut be-
ginning with the treasurer, aud which will
apply to every employe.
