1t is certainly grievous that the New
York man who for three years has
washed the dishes, cleaned the house
and taken care of the children while
his wife worked out to gain the neces-
sary domestic supplies should not be
allowed a day or a night off now and
then. His rebellion is surely Justltl-
able. The exacting nature of the new
woman is plainly in evidence in this
case. 1t is easy to see what we may
come to when woman shah have OBJ
tanned complete mastery in all things.

TRACEY-WALCOTT FIGHT AT CHI
CAGO PREVENTED BY AN IN
JUNCTION.
NEW DATE STILL IN DOUBT.
IF POSSIBLE THE EVENT WILL BE
PULLED OFF NEXT
WEEK.
BATTERY D. STATUS INVOLVED.
Legal Proceedings Not Against the
PuSilists, but the Place That
Was Selected.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-The fight be-
tween Tommy Tracey and Joe Walcott,
scheduled for this evening, did not come
off as advertised Efforts are now be-
ing made to have it pulled off on Thurs
day evening. but it is not certain that
they will be successful, and the actual
date of the fight is still a matter of
doubt. The postponement of the fight
was brought about by the action Of
Judge Brentano, of the superior court,
who issued an order restraining the
fighters from engaging in any contest
at Battery D, that had been secured for
the event and declaring that If any eff
fort was made to have the fight, he
would instruct the sheriff to raid the
place.
The order was the result of a fight
that had been in progress for years be-
tween the city and Montgomery Ward,
a merchant, whose place of business is
on Michigan avenue, opposite Battery
d, in which it was proposed to have
the fight. Some time ago Ward obtain
ed from the supreme court Of the state
an order requiring the city to tear
DOWN the building in which the fight
was to have been held and which has
been the scene of fights. innumerable
The city has promised to tear down the
building, but has failed to keep its
promise, and when he found that it was
about to issue license for a fight in
the old hall Ward APPLIED to the court
to stop it. There will now be some diff
fcuIty in securing a hall for the fight
as a number of those that would or
dirarly be available have been rented
for the winter and cannot be secured.

LONG ODDS ON BURGE.
Poor Contest Ended by Foul Blow
by O'Brfen.

tween Dick O'Brien and Dick Burge for a
purse of $780, in addition to $500 stakes, came
off this evening at the Olympic club, Birm-
ingham. Burge scaled in at LAG pounds and
OBrien at 100. During the afternoon there
were disqueting rumors as to OBrien's con-
diton and long odds were freely laid on
Burge. When the men entered the ring it
was seen that O'Brien was very fat, while
Burge was remarkably fit. At the end of the
first round O'Brien was blowing hard, and
he did not improve matters in the second.
During the fourth round, when Burge slipped
in O'Brien's corner, the latter struck him
lightly. A foul was claimed and allowed,
thus ending a poor contest.
O'Brien's hacker withdrew $500 he had
staked on him because the boxer had not

ported that merchants were buying quite
light and had been since Dec. 10, the bet
ter class of trade balanced their accounts
the first Of the year, which accounted for the
large number of small orders they were
receiving. They had done lots of business
during the season, and thought the prospects
bright for a repetition Of the trade of the
season just passed. They were, he said. en-
joying a large holiday trade in Christmas
goods. Nearly all orders for, this class Of
goods were rush orders.

the spring trade would be, as it was little
early yet for spring goods. The Lanpher hat
was being sold all over the West and had
become quite popular with merchants: Their
business for December was better than for
the same month last year. and their collec-
lions had never been better, and they antici-
pated a nice business for the new year. They

some important additions to their already
large factory. They would, in few months,
have a factory in which they would manu-
facture everything in the harness line. He
thought from the way spring orders were
coming in for future shipment that they
would have the biggest spring trade they had
ever experienced. They had better collec-
lions than at any time since 1892, and since
the 1st OF August they had done the largest
business in their history. He was very much
pleased over the long season they were en-
joying, trade in their line usually fell
off considerably at this time of the year.

view of charming beauty. 1t will be
sufficiently attractive to bring millions
Of visitors, and will provide a means
of advertising the business of exhib-
itors in a most effective manner.
The railroads have subscribed liber-
ally towards the erection of the build
ings, and offer great inducements in
the way of transportation of exhibits
and for visitors. There are 10,0oo,o0O
people living within a nights ride of
Nashville, and the railroads will see
that a large percentage of that popula-
ton is brought to Nashville besides the
many who will come from more remote
portions of the United States and from
foreign lands. The officers will give
careful attention to the interests of the
exhibitors. Special provision is made
for showing Inventions and improve
ments, and. for the benefit of smaller
exhibitors who may be unable to attend
in person, the services of reliable men,
experienced in their respective depart
ments, can be relied upon. Although
not officially connected with the ex-
position they are indorsed by the au-
LnOTIIlGS dtU Will DC lllC OO1d va "a
faithful discharge of their duties.
These men will contract to receive, in
stall, care for and return exhibits, and
when requested will secure such at
tendants as may be required. In this
way many valuable exhibits have al
ready been entered, ami this arrange
| ment will secure hundreds of others
that have not previously been seen in
any exposition.
While space is free (if the exhibit
shall be in place on opening day. the
director general reserves the right to
decline exhibits of any class which may

things being equal the first applicants
will be given the preference. Those
who are contemplating an exhibit
should apply at once, especially if a
large or prominent space is wanted.
The governors of more thar 30 states
and the mayors of nearly all the prin-
cipal cities in the United States have
appointed commissioners, and many of
these have already arranged for public
and private exhibits, and there is a
spirit Of rivalry in the greater cities of
the west and south. each city striving
to out-do its business rivals of other
cities. Thegf-atest enthusiasm has been
aroused in Cincinnati, Chicago, Louis
vile and st. Louis, and these cities and
their merchants will not only seek to
advertise their goods, so that they may
secure the trade of the south, but they
will contribute in many ways 20 the
success of the expedition.
