CARSON. New, Feb 2s.-Work continued
as usual on Dan Stuarts big amphtheater
today. In fact, few OF the residents in
clined to observe the Sabbath. 1t was a
sort OF holiday in Carson. More people were
seen on the streets than usual, and the
stores, all the saloons and gambling houses
were open for business as on the other six
days of the week.
Bob Fitzsimmons did no work at all today.
He spent good part OF the morning writ
ing letters to friends in Stuarts headquarters,
and then drove to the race track to get a
look at the superstructure of the arena in
which he hopes to defeat Jim Corbett. Ac-
companied by Julian, Fitzsimmons drove
back to quarters for dinner but the pair re-
turned to town early in the afternoon and
remained until sundown Julian announced
that his man would take no exercise today on
account of the funeral of Mrs. Julian in
New York City.
There was such big crowd at Corbetts 8
headquarters that the services of three bar

seers, was uncomfortably crowded, and The

Huron. He settled on the original homestead
in 1880, coming from Waukesha, Wis.
Mr.. Allison was a sailor on steamboats, and
sailing vessels on the great lakes for over
a quarter OF century; seventeen years of
the time he was captain in charge Of various
boats. Having a desire to become a Land
lubber' and having some knowledge of

lines. He first took homestead of 100 acres,
then began adding thereto until he became
the owner Of 1000 broad acres.
On the homestead Mr.. Allison has erected

The prospects are that there will be sew
seral additional arrests today of the prln-
cipals and participants in the cock fight at
Jim Coyle's saloon on Saturday night. The
police succeeded In securing six of the
birds, but there were about thirty in the
lot that was to furnish the cruel sport for
the crowd. The majority of those who sue
cecded in getting their birds out of sight
before the police made their raid were
Omaha men. The only thing that saved
them was the fact that they had not brought
their birds into the building when the Of
fcers appeared, and they were the first to

men marked for arrest today is Frank Kane,
who acted as doorkeeper and ticket seller.

THE BIBLE IN THE SCHOOLS.

Judge Carpenter, in the Circuit court in Michigan. has been called upon to deal with the question of the Bible in the schools. Conrad Pfeiffer set up that his son, as pupil at a public school, was obliged to attend religious worship and that he himself as tax payer was compelled to assist in main taining places for the dissemination of religious teachings, contrary to the constitution of the State. The direct charge was that a book entitled Readings from the Bible,' introduced by the school board, was read to the pupils by the teachers every day The court held that the State constitution was violated as alleged, saying in its opinion: The constitution prohibits all religious teaching in the public schools or it prohibits none. The provision against compelling person to pay taxes for the support of teacher of religion either forbids the proposed use of readings from the Bible or 1t forbids nothing. It seems to me clear that such teacher is a teacher of religion toward whose support persons are com pelled to pay taxes, and, therefore, the constitution in explicit language forbids such proposed use. Respondents pro- posed Readings from the Bible" in the public schools is in direct conflict with constitutional provisions, and relator, whose constitutional rights are thereby violated, has right to redress.

even more vivid. The colors to choose, however, are tobacco brown, biscuit shade. an ivory white or black. A few satins with little raised plain pin spots in contrasting color are especially ex elusive.
 Besides these waists there are plenty more that assure the continuance of fancy bodices, and most women are pleased at this. Two attractive models are sketched here. That seen in rear view was in violet taffeta covered with mousseline de sole laid in diagonal pleats that started at the side seams and pointed to the deep yoke, which was white satin covered with violet spangled tulle. The sleeves were cov- cred with draped chiffon, and the gir- de with it's pretty bow in back was violet satin. The other bodice was of dark green merveilleuX for the sides and back but the front was lettuce green taffeta draped with black chiffon sprinkled with black and green span gled butterflies. Falling from each shoulder was jahot of dark green pleated chiffon. and the two shades of green were employed in the shoulder garniture of the satin sleeves. Collar and belt were rose pink satin.
 She who plans to express her pleasure over the continued life of fancy bodices by having one for herself need have little fear of planning 1t too fancifully for these garments are as elaborate as they ever were Novel boleros, rich girdles and lace and ribbon trimming oa lora are found oo theno and in many ingenious arrangements. These bodices have been stylish so long that it is difficult to do anything really new in them, but don't be discouraged over that; just do one of the old tricks over tastefully and it will be all right.

The probabili- ty is that if MT Carnegie and his party had attempted to rush through the des- ert they would never have survived to tell the tale. It's wilds can only be safely traversed by the aid of natives, who alone can guide the traveller to the meagre water-holes. There is noth- ing, MT. Carnegie says, to denote the presence of water, no green or fresh vegetation, and no signs of animal life. A white man might suffer the tortures Of death from thirst, while a dozen paces from him, hidden in the tufts of spinifex, were few gallons of the wa ter which alone could save his life. MT. Carnegie trusted to the wild natives. Capturing one of these, he held him in custody until he had taken the party to the nearest water, and, by repeating the process, the desolate expanse of country was traversed.
