The Queen of Clubs.

Clubs of three and clubs of a score,
ls,ns and ologieS, more and more;
Sappho and Psyche clubs galore.
Clubs of archeologic research
Clubs to consider the school and church,
To cleanse from society every Smirch;
Clubs of science and clubs of song,
For the righting and curing of every
wrong
That to mankind can ever belong.
Sanitation is their despair;
Microbes, too, come in for share,
Tenement crowds and pure fresh air;
Literature in every part,
Sculpture, history, knowledge. art,
Analysis of the home and heart;
Social and economic laws,
Crime and poverty, clause on clause,
Mans degeneracy the cause.

Tropic Rain.

Sudden the thunder was drowned
quenched was the levin light
And the angel-spirit of rain laughed out
loud in the night.
Loud as the maddened river raves in the
cloven glen,
Angel of RAIN you laughed and leaped
on the roofs of men.
And the sleepers sprang in their beds,
joyed and feared as you fell
You struck, and my cabin quailed; the
roof of it roared like a bell.
You spoke and at once the mountain
shouted and shook with brooks;
You ceased and the day returned, rosy,
with virgin looks.
And methought that beauty and terror
are only one, not two;
And the world has room for love and
death, and thunder and dew:
And all the sinews of hell slumber in sum-
mer air;
Ard the face of God is a rock, but the
face of the rock is fair.
Beneficent streams of tears flow at the
finger of pain;
And, out of the cloud that smites, bene-
ficent showers of rain.

OPINION OF EXPERTS.

In the opinion of many sporting au-
thorities the time honored rules are
in for a threshing. 1t is not believed
that Sile1's dissertation will be swal-
lowed as il stands, and joint con-
ference of those most interested IS
more than probable.
Both Corbett and FitZsimmons were
satisfied with light work today. The
Cornishman let up q peg and cut sew
eral numbers on his programme He
followed Jack rabbit trails for a couple
of hours in the morning. but could
not get in a shot. Roeber and Stelz-
uar were excused after lunch and
Hickey's labors We're cut down 70 four
rounds with the gloves. Bob did his
turn at the punching bag, as usual,
and lcbbed a handball for 30 minutes.
He is timber and speedy and will try
to hold his present condition until the
fight.
Corbett's Joints did not ache this
morning after his tramp to Empire,
three miles away, and Jim declared
that he was now equal to road work
of any kind. He is not so accustomed
to this kind of exercise as his opponent,
ard il stiffened him up for a few days
When his lunch had settled he went
through the monotonous ordeal of bag
punching and working the wrist ma
chine before calling on Woods and
Jeffries. -Four rounds with each of
them was Charley Whites prescrip-
ton to the champion. with two games
of handball for dessert.
From the plans of the arena on ex-
hibition in San Francisco and Carson
5000 seats have already been sold.
The reservations set aside for excur-
sion parties are still untouched. Sec
rotary WheeloclS's idea is to have a
poll of each special car taken after
the train is on the road. The require
ments of the passengers will then be
telegraphed ahead and seats reserved
in Carson. An attendance of not less
than 5000 is now certain.
Dan Stuart will call upon Corbett
and Fitzsimmons tomorrow if the
weather continues favorable He
walked about for several hours today
and his f4ce is beginning to show
some color.
Nothing remains to be done at the
arena except to put up the private
boxes. This work is only the matter
OF a few hours. The seats will be
numbered and the sections placarded
during the present week, when the
gates of the enclosure will be closed
to the public.

I very large obstacle in the way of Civ
ing Mr.. Geer the collectorship of
c cIstoms. His name is !. l.. Patterson.
Of Marion county. MIR. Patterson is u
state senator, aud he was very active
supporter of Senator Mitchell last
winter.
He is boss of the Mitchell machine
in Marion county, and it would be en-
bsrrassing to turn him down, especial
ly If there were to be special session
of the Legislature. Geer could not be
ignored On Tongues account, and be-
cause of the character of his backing.
Patterson could not be Ignored on ac-
count of his services to Mitchell, past
and prospective. and on account OF his
services to Mcbride, which are pros.
pective. 1t was very hard nut to
crack. 1t was finally determined to
offer Geer the land office at Oregon
City-it is worth $4,000 a year-and to
hold up the customs colectorship for
the present. It was known that the
appointment of Senator Patterson at
the present time would provoke
storm of criticism, for the negative
reason that Patterson is 1ot especially
popular, and for the positive reason
that Geer is. If Geer should decide to
accept the Oregon City appointment,
it would make the Patterson matter
easier. A good deal depends, of course,
on how MIR. Geer feels and what he
does. 1t will very seriously embarrass
this arrangement II he should decline
to be let down in this manner, which |

the purpose of appointing delegates to

While some of the leading miners

thought the 6e-cent men will be in the

plan.
A number of operators have received
