One morning while the children were
playing with some companions they
were startled by the booming of guns,
and rushing to the front yard they be-
held great smoke wreaths drifting away
from the United States ship Tallapoosa.
Without further ado Richard applied
the fuse to his gun and acknowledged
the s~alutation. While thus employed the
kneeling boy suddenly felt three light
blows on his back. and looking up be-
held the figure of the president standing
beside him. In one hand the nations

other the astonished boy saw u toy

laughter of several friends who attended

Then, returning his cigar to his lips
he smiled grimly and resumed his way.

Colonel James Tamplin, a veteran of
the Mexican and civil wars, is a veri-
table walking history of the wars, in
which he bore himself with much honor.
Colonel Tampliu was reading a paper
recently, when he saw u mention of the
president Of one of the great railroads
centering in Chicago. 'I'Il tell you a
story about that man,, " he said. when
we were hanging around V~icksburg
looking for trouble with the 'Johnnies,
there was more or less foraging. l re-
member this man, then a private in oul
company, while nosing about the ad.
joining farms ran ACROSS u barrel OF
prime cider. Being a good soldier, he
promptly confiscated the cider and en-
ployed an aged darby to tote it into
camp,
Cider was scarce in those days, and
he rugged up a temporary bar and was
soon doing a lively business retailing il
mt 10 cents a cup. The barrel stood well
back in his tent, and for a time he was
so busy filling orders that he paid nj at
tention to IA disturbance in the rear OF
the tent. Then the crowd began to
dwindle and he realized that something
was wrong. He %importuned a passing
soldier to sample his wares, but the fell
low shook his head and said the price
was too high. There's a fellow around
here selling cider at 8 cents a glass;. he
said.
1.-The owner Of the barrel took a turn
around his tent and found a great crowd
gathered in the rear. Another member
of the company had driven a spigot into
the other end Of the barrel and was do
ing "a land Office business. Well, he saw
the game was up, and rather than be
outdone he invited the whole crowd
around in front and told them to pitch
in. He was willing to meet competi-
ton, and rather than be undersold on
his own goods he would ladle out the
cider free.
Il reckon, however" added Colonel
Tamplin. THAT he had made enough
before the trick was discovered to give
him a start i'll the railroad business. foI
| see he has been doing quite well ever
since. Chicago Times-Herald.

Dan Stuart Pnysin Flying Visit to tn,
Pugilist.

KANSAS CITY, February 4.-L'an Stuart,
the promoter of pusfism, paid flying
visit to Kansas City last night, and for
one hour was III consultation with Pugiilst
Corbett. To reporter Mr. Stuart said that
the purpose of his visit was to Sc
cure a promise from tho pugilist that
he will do his training in Nevada, Stuart
having promised The Nevadans that both
Corhett and Fitzsin.mons would do their
training in that STATE.

dispatch from San Francisco. announcing
that United States Judge McKenna and

vent the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight in Ne
vada has caused great rejoicing here.
Nothing now stands between Carson and
thousands of visitors and thousands of dol
lars to the city.
Virginia City is putting in a strong bid
for the fight offering $4,000 cash. The En-
1erprise prints list of hotels and lodging
houses on the COmstock, and the number
of people they can hold, giving an estimate
of 1900 in ALL The fighters themselves,
however. are to be considered and neither
will consent to fight at such great eleva-
tion. 1t Is nearly 1000 feet above the sea
level. and the pugilists would be COM
pletely winded in few rounds. The bill
introduced by Senator Mills to reduce the
rate of admission will probably be allowed

never be called up Orders for quarters in
the hotels are coming in from all parts OF
the country.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 4.-When
the news came over the wires that Al
Smith of New York had $4,000 to bet on
Corbett at odds of Z to 10, the sports at
this end prophesied that more money
would change hands over the match In
Nevada than over the Ccrbett-Sulivan
fight
A. 8. Daniels. who is said to act as agent
of Phil. Dwyer. said that he had some
Corbett money to. invest. AS a feeler he
was willing to bet 1000 against $500 that
Ccrbett would win. or. if any Of Fitzsim-
mons friends cared for fancy wager
he would lay $4,000 against 5000 that
the match would go in Corbett's favor.
None Of the offers found takers. Harry
Co1hett, brother of Jim. offered TO bet
500 against $1,000 that Jim would win in
eight rounds or less. Judging from this
there will be some big betting in San Fran
cisco when the men have both settled down
| to training. The opinion is expressed on
all sides that there will be less odds en-
the forthcoming fight than any other big
| match that has taken place in years.

CURRENT SPORTING NOTES

A statement given out by one Of the Car
son. New. representatives Of Dan Stuart
is that the contest between Corbett and
Fitzsimmons March II will almost GER
tainly take place at Carson. At Carson
every one is preparing for the event, even
cleaning the streets as they were never
cleaned before. All public buildings and
many private ones will be used to furnish
quarters for the visitors from the east
No serious attention is given the bill in
troduced In the senate to limit the admis-
sion fee to 81.
The Western Union Telegraph Company
has six wires from Reno to Virginia City,
but three of them have been taken down
and will be connected with the main line
at Reno and run to Carson to handle the
immense business incident to q contest Of
this magnitude. Already the capacity of
the present line Is being strained, and ex-
ira operators will arrive at Carson shortly.
The railroad has slightly increased its
force at the shops, getting cars in condi-
ton, and this force Is to be substantially
Increased in few days.
Fitzsimmons will arrive at the Hot
Springs early next week, and make that
mile from town. Corbett will follow shortly
to Steamboat Springs, which is on the rail-
road twenty miles from Carson.
1t will be arranged SO that the visitors
who wish may stop at Reno or Virginia
City, and come to Carson at any time of
day they wish on special trains that will
be run for that purpose.
The exact battle ground has not yet been
selected, and will not be for some time,
but it will probably be near the race track,
which is almost in the center of the city
of Carson.
