TABLET AND STAR GONE.
Spot where Garfield Fell VIII Be
Unmarked for Few Days.

The marble tablet on the south wall of
the ladies waiting room of the Sixth street
station and the brass tar in the floor be-
meath it have been removed. OF course,
every one knows that these simple de-
vices were placed there to mark the spot
where Garfield walked when he was shot
by the assassin, Guiteau. Considerable com
ment has heen caused ON that part of the
travelling public that does not know the
reason of the removal. General Passenger
Agent Crawford explained it to a Times re-
porter in the following manner:
1.-The immediate cause of the removal of
the tablet was its battered condition, rem.
dered so in the fire at the depot on inaugu-
ration night. At that time the tablet was
damaged to such an extent that its continu-
ing in such aneXposed place was deemedin-
advisable. We do not intend to keep it
down permanently We are having it re
paired and shall restore it to q place Of
observation
I'VE do not contemplate placing il back
in its original position on the wall oppo-
site to the entrance to the ladies' waiting
room for the reason that we have Ger
tain alterotious in vie " in the depot, among
them being the cutting OF a passageway
through the old site of the tablet from
the ladies' waiting room TO the general
waiting room. The brass star was alsa
damaged in the fire and is being repaired.
There is also an element of superstition
ia connection with the matter. 1t is IN

MUCH MONEY CHANGING HANDS
Corbett Advises Friend to Put
All His Money ON Him.

Corbett Advises q Friend to Pui
All His Money ON Hin.
New York, March i6.-There was a gen
eral hustling among the FitZslmnons peo
pie yesterday, TO place bets on their fa
yOrite, and as q consequence the rate ol
odds rose in many instances to even money
Coroett's friends were willing TO take al
wagers in sight, and, as a result, more
money exchanged hands than at ans tine
since the match was arranged. Tips
from Corbett's headquarters continue Il
pour in. In all CorbetUs condition is
eXtolled, and his weII-wishers cannot see
how he can lose.
Ed. Kearney, jr., has received missive
from Charley White, who writes that Cor.
bett eats and sleeps well and that his p hys-
ical shape is all that can be desired
Billy Delaney also sends Information that
Jim is as clipper as a lark, and will be
the victor inside of six. or eight rounds.
Corbett's letter to Sam Fitzpatrick was
received yesterday. In il Cor5ett says.
The kid and yourself can put all your
coin down on me with the safe assurance
that you will get good run for your money.
l am in fine trim in fact, in better condi-
ton than when L fought Jackson, and, az
you were behind Peter that time, you
ought TO know. Regards to all, and don Z
worry, for l will beat that Australian in
lifry.''
At the cafe OF the Hoffman House yester-
day the sole topic of conversation was the
coming fight. Johnny Manning was kept
busy taking commissions on both men.
For the first time he bet pile of Fitzsim-
mons money. Late in the afternoon he got
a commission OF 81 90 TO SSOfrOm Sam Fitz-
patrick To place on Corbett. Ike Thompson,
who himself considers Corbett as being
a better man than FitZsimmons, said yes
terday that he holds up to date over 81 900
in wagers on Lanky Bob. He win not be
surprised is the betting is even at the ring
side.
Joseph Arthur, the playwright. who has
over SO, 600 invested on FitZsimmons,
plunged again on his chances and specu-
lated to the extent of $500 TO $500. Boo
HiIiard, the actor, says that, in his esti-
nation, C0rbett viii win in short order,
but, like De Wolf Hopper, he hasn't and
won't bet a cent until late tonight.
Joe McAulin, of the Imperial Hotel, was
skirmishing about town yesterday with a
big bundle of money to place on FitzsiIn-
mons, but couldn't be accommodated. Fred
Crchton found several takers for his Fitz-
simmons money yesterday DIT 7 to 10.
John Alexander, who arrived yesterday
from Paris, said that in France the people
are very much interested in the forthcom-
ing fight, and that Corbett has the call in
the betting. He figures that if Cori'ett
loses the French sports will be very much
out OF pocket. lie has wagered 500 to
$50 on Corbett.
Arthur Lumley, of the lllustrat ted News,
yesterday received the appended dispatch
from Billy Madden: ''Seen Corbett and
FitZsimmons. Both are in good condition.

MuIdoon Declares both Men Fit to
Make the Fight of Their Lives.
San Francisco, March 16-The Ex-
aminer publishes a special dispatch from
Carson this morning in which MuldoOn, the
celebrated wrestler, gives his opinion Of
Fitzsimmons. Muldoon says among other
things:
II visited Fitzsmmons at his training
quarters yesterday to see him go through
all of his work He began by punching the
bag In an instant his eyes snapped and
frightened. 1t was a reye latiOn, the
difference between FitzsImmons' serious
work and Fitzsimmons with nothing par
ticular on his mi nd.
Il am inclined to believe that he has
been in training so long that 1T requires
exercise to stimulate him to look what he
really s.-the most marvellous piece Of
physical develol lent that | ever saw in
eaction His bag punching was more Wig
orous, harder. more effective and included
more difficult tricks than noticed during
Corbetts performance.
ut was easy to see that his most
powerful plays are his short-arm hooks,
uppercuts, jolts and pushes. While his
movements have not the same grace and
precision as Corbett's, they seem to pos
sess more viciousness and appear to be
fully as quick. both as to footwork and
handwoTk Like Corbett, he seems to bc
a tireless worker. and to need no urging

BRIDES AND THEIR GowNISG.
Plain Satin the Newest for the
Wedding Dress.


ringgowning en- crosses all. Those with
but little wealth make aIeful selection @ 4
the most serviceable, yet, withal, the most
useful gown She who has a-plenty buy S
with lavish hand that which strikes her
fancy. With either, the gown once bought
and worn quickly loses interest.
Not so with the maids who will change
their names at the Estertide. Each article
in their wardrobes must be well selected,
not for use this season alone, but for the
durability of it's style and material. For
the average girl who marTies the average
man finds much need TO econ omiZe and the
girl who brings with her a sensible selected
wardrobe is u jewel beyond compare.
The best wardrobe contains four morning
dresses, a tcagown, a promenade costume,
a plain skirt and two or three bodices for
use with it, short, dressy Jacket, and the
alI-important wedding gown. OF course,
the latter is really not a necessity. but
every girl loves to don il, and it seems a
pity to deprive the poorest OF Us OF this
pleasure on the happiest day or our lives.
1t is, therefore, best to include it.
The wedding gown up-to-date is OF plain
white satin, rather than brocade. In Paris
brides are beginning TO wear pale colofs,
but this mode seems more suitable for the
elderly bride, and is not likely to become
popular. it has, however, a note OF econ
omy. as white satin is not practical for
ordinary wear.
The skirt of the bridal gown may be un-
trimmed or adorned with flounces OF lace.
The evening times., 1897-03-16

Lace, chiffon and seed-pearl trimming are
used on the bodices. A very girlish gown
TO be worn by an April bride is OF white
satin with a flounce Of duchess lace about
the foot. The bodice is OF plain satin, tight
fitting Thefrontiscwered with lace, which
starts at the arm seams and is caught In
bunch at the center of the bust Our bride
intends TO fasten IL there with tiny bunch
OF orange blossoms, IL she can secure them.
But they are so scarce that she will prob
ably use lilies of the valley.
The hand-embrudered, by the bride
herself, with seed peariSin a design that was
stamped on net basted TO the bodice. The
sleeves are mousquetaire. with three
flounces falling from the shoulder and a
deep fall oflace at the wrist. A corselet belt
made OF SIX broad pleats OF the satin, fin
ishes the bodice.
The gown has long. full train, W hich is
just now particularly fashionable. Yet the
average bride will do well to forego that,
since her dress will need to do duty after the
ceremony for receptions and other affairs in
her honor, and is best without train.
The bridal gown should always have long
sleeves and high neck. 1t is well to make
the under sleeves and yoke adjustable, how
ever because as reception dress the gown
will be more servieeable. without them
The veil is no longer thrown over he face.
IL falls over the gown at the back, nearly
to the foot, and is caught to the hair in
series OF loops, formed of the veil itself.
If, before the ceremony, the bride desires
to cover her face, she may wear small
face veil, which is taken off by her nIaId
when she reaches the altar.

NOW FOR sHAD AND HERRING.
Capt. knight and His Seine Haulers
Sail for Stony Point,

There were lively times on the river front,
especially at the fish wharf, foot of Eley-
enth street, yesterday, when Capt Billy
Knight and his crew Of twenty fishermen
started for the fishing grounds down the
Potomac to inaugurate the spring shad and
herring fishing. The veteran captain and
his men will be the first to spread their
seincs and haul in the silyery product OF
the river.
They will fish at Stony Point, about
thirty miles down the Potomac and eX
pect Go make some phenomenal catches
with their long seine, which reaches nearly
from shore TO shore.
= Harbormaster Sutton says the men cele
brated their departure by singing and
other manifestations. The wives, children
aud swecthcarts of the departing FISHER
men linedthe W harves and waved Or shouted
good-byes 20 them as the schooner sailed
gracefully down stream. 1t will require
few days to place Stony Point in good
condition, and then s.iad and herring ga
lore VIII be shipped to this city.
