Breaks Down the Nervous System Of HeKnOWn Railroad EgR

From the Gazsttc, chilltoothc, Ohio.

Mr.. Elbridge Waterman is a well known
railroad engineer OF the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern railway, who has been a great
sufferer from nervous debility of an aggra-
waited kind for the past ten years. The
strain was telling on his nerves terribly.
and steady work was impossible. The fol-

to be little prospect of my going back TO
the throttle again. My heart troubled me
very much, and I was totally unable TO
sleep for days and weeks at time. When
would drop off into a doze, my heart
would beat itself almost out of my bosom,
and would wake me up as though had
been struck by a trip hammer. I had
twitchings in my arms and legs, and was
altogether in such a condition that my wife
and friends began to consider me beyond
reach of medical assistance.
81 was almost of the same opinion my
self. when L happened to see in the paper
last June a letter from an old soldier in
the West who had been cured of rheuma-
tism by DIR. Williams Pink Pills. The tes-
timonial was written in such a way that

MAY FIGHT IN NEVADA.
Rumored That Dan Stuart VIII Pull
on the Fitz-Corbett Mill ut
Carson City.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-It Is reported on ex-
cellent authority that the fight between
Corbett and Fitzsimmons is to be pulled off
at Carson City, New. The report comes
from Carson City and is based on actual
most plausible of those which have been
set afioat by the persons who believe them
selves capable of anticipating Stuart's
plans.
Something more than two months ago
Dan Stuart made "a trip to Carson City,
where he sought out Attorney General
Beatty, who has since died, and held sew
eral secret consultations with him. stuart
remained in Carson City for several days,
and just before leaving engaged the Serv-
ices of surveyor, with whom he went to
track Enclosure they surveyed and staked of
ground for Il large building.
A reputable man OF Nevada, who was a
close personal friend or Beatty, says he
held a conversation with the late attorney
general before the latter was taken sick,
and was informed by him that at Stuart's s
request he had carefully gone through the
anything in the books prohibiting prize
fighting, but had failed to find a single
word that could be construed as forbidding
the sport.
With this knowledge, Beatty said, Stuart
went to the proper state officials, who
were advised by Attorney General Beatty,
and asked for an ironclad license that
would permit him to bring off the next
championship fight in the state, without
the possibility of interference The Off
cials saw no objection to doing so in case
the revenue to be derived by the state was
sufficient. and price was fixed. Mr.. Beat
ty did not make known the figure"

Mrs. Sue T. FIuhart, teacher in the
Washington school, received yesterday
letter from the English-armenian Society.
of London, containing her credentials and
transportation TO the island of Cyprus,
wher she has been appointed superintend-
ent of the education and work of the Ar
menian Christian refugees. The account of
Mrs. Fluhart receiving a cablegram from
the London society. Offering her the posi-
ton and her subsequent acceptance, was
published in the Journal several weeks ago.
Mrs. Fluhart stated yesterday that she
and sail Immediately for London, where,
after consultation with the English Ar
menian Society, she will sail for Cyprus.
Superintendent Greenwood said last night
that he considered it quite Il compliment to
Missouri for the English society, of which
Lady Somerset is the head, to come to this
state or even the whole United States in
search of a woman qualified to fill the po-
sttton which Mrs. Fluhart has been offered
and accepted on contract for three years.
Mrs. Fluhart was born in Adair county
Mo. Her father, j. c. Thatcher, who was
well-to-do, was elected treasurer of the
county a short time before the breaking
out of the war During his term of office
the county were mysteriously broken into
one night and all the contents stolen. As
no trace of the perpetrators of the deed
could be found, Mr.. Thatcher voluntarily
made good all the loss, leaving himself al
most penniless His eldest daughter, Sue
who was then 10 years old, began to teach
school. She taught school a few years and
then took course and graduated from a
normal school. At the age of q years she
married, but her husband died of injuries
received during the war, year after their
marriage. Mrs. Fluhart then taught sew
eral years in Mount Pleasant college, Ste
phens Female college and several other
schools in the state. Her success as a teach
er attracted the attention of the American
and English Educational Society, and she
was engaged to go to Cyprus as a teacher.
Mrs. Fluhart remained abroad for eighteen
years. She taught in Athens and later in
Germany. She visited Turkey and spent a
year in Egypt. She speaks seven lam
guages as fluently as the English language,
and according to Superintendent J. NJ.
Greenwood is one of the best scholars in
this state About year ago she came to
Kansas City, and as she expected to re-
main permanently in Missouri, applied to
teach in the public schools of this city, and
was appointed to the Washington school.

sMITH-WHlTE FIGHT A DRAW.
RattlIng Contest in
New York.

New York. Jan. 12.-The twenty-five
round bout between Solly Smith, of Los
Angeles, and Tommy White of Chicago.
which took place at the Bohemian Sport
ing Club here tonight resulted in a draw.
The boys weighed in at 122 pounds and they
put up one of the fastest contests that
has ever been seen in this vicinity. White
had the advantage in height, but Solly
counteracted this by his wonderfully strong
and aggressive work. He swung and
jabbed with both hands, and it looked as If
he would have won twice during the mill,
when he staggered White with right cross
es on the jaw. Whites cleverness aided
very effectively in avoiding Smiths vicious
onslaughts.. and he frequently stopped the
Californian with left hand jabs on the
face and neck. The decision of the referee
in calling the bout draw met with ap-
proval of the 500 spectators
