IT STANDS THE TEST.

Among the Mass of Unworthy Prepara-
tions There Is One That Stands Pre-
eminent.
1t is a weI-known fact that large per-
centage.of wh iskies upon the market and
in use to-day are simply cheap adultera-
tions. They may be called straight
goods" "blends," or any other name that
an interruptions manu- acturer or dealer
chooses, but the fact remains that they
are simply concoctions and aduteratlons
which are injurious to any one who uses
them.
In the midst of this mass OF unhealthtul
whiskies there stands one bright excep-
ton. l. has stood out clearly before the
public for twenty years. It's purity is
guaranteed by the best physicians in the
land, and it has done more to preserve
health than all the other whiskies COM
bined. 1t is Duffy's pure malt whiskey.
1t has reputation established by twenty
years of use, and it has that reputation to
sustain It is always Uniform in quality,
every bottle is precisely alike. It's very
purity renders it valuable, but it possesses
in addition thereto medicinal qualities
known to no other whiskey. You make
no mistake in buying Duffy's pure malt,
but you make an egregious error If you
allow any unscrupulous dealer for mo-
ment to argue with you that any one of
the cheap adulterated wniskies that are
on the market is as good as Duffy's. 1t Is
false.

the way of the transgressor is hard. Miss
Jensen was seen covering in corner In
the depot after the arrival of the train
yesterday. She acted somewhat strangely
and the agent telephoned to the Sheriff 8
office that an insane woman was making
him feel uncomfortable by her presence
at the depot.
Two officers responded to the call and
took the woman in charge. They found
when they spoke to her that she was not
wrong mentally.
In response to their questions she said
she had come from San Francisco, and
that she was penniless and did not know
where to go.
The Deputy Sheriffs instead Of taking
the unfortunate woman TO Jail took her to
the Salvation Army barracks, where she
found friends. The latter are doing every
thing they can to help her.
Miss Jensen stated this afternoon that
seven years ago, when she was Is years of
age, she ran away from her parents, whose
home is in Fort Worth. Tex.
She was led into this foolish act by a
man who brought her 10 San Francisco
ana deserted her about year afterward.
Since then she worked as a domestic,
earning her own living. Then cancerous
sore broke out on her ankle and she spent
all the money she could get for treatment.
Becoming unable to work longer she
set out to walk to Fort Worth to return TO
her parents in Texas. She started
only with 70 cents, and with this she took
the boat to Stockton, whence she walked
to Lankershim. She travelled on foot about
four weeks, going without food for the first
FIVE days. Then she made appeals at
ranch houses. She endured untold priva-
tions. To-day, with the assistance of the
Salvationists, Miss Jensen wrote letter
TO her parents, who have never heard of
her since she left them,

The Stake Holder Ftsits This CITY for
the First Time in Fears.
AL Smith, stake holder for the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight, arrived in San Fran
cisco at 8 o'clock last nighht on the ov r
land train from New York and went to
the Palace Hotel, which will be his head
quarters until the end of the week, when
he will leave for Carson.

fed checks. There is one for Sl5. 600, de.
posted by Stuart, there are two of $4,000,
the side bet of each of the principals.
Then there are two for $25o0 each, put up
by Corbett and Fitzsimmons as guar
antee for their appear ance in the ring.
This last money will of course be refunded
when the men enter the ring, but the
S25, 900 will all go to the winner.
''In New York the betting had been 100

with very little so in sight. There seemed
to be plenty of Corbett money, but no
more Fitzsimmons money. About those
odds seemed to hold all the way across the

CARSON, New, March S.-Grave ru-
mors are atioat tonight in Carson to the
effect that after all that had been said re-
garding the absolute immunity the Cor
betl-Fitzsimmons battle will enjoy, so far
as legal interference is concerned, there
still remains Il question as 10 whether or
not the Federal Government cannot hold
up warning finger and forbid the hold
ing of the contest. Whether or not these
rumors have any substantial basis, or in
fact any foundation in fact at all, ii seems
next TO impossible for me to state to-
night; but there is certainly something
in the wind which is causing more than
ordinary anxiety among those who are in
terested in seeing the big mill successfully
brought off.
This much l know: During several
hours to-day Al Livingston, who is Dan
Stuart'S right-hand man, has been hunt
ing up several officers representing the
Federal Government here and hurrying
them into back room in the Arlington
Hotel. Here he has Deen closeted with
several OF them, separately, for an hour at
time. Now what these conferences were
about is just what nobody can be made to
admit that they know, and what those
who ought to know declare was simply
little matter OF business. The counte-
nances of the men who went into and out
of that room plainly indicated that they
had not gone there to discuss any trivial
matter, and it was this very fact that
started the stories being bruited about to-
night that trouble of some sort is brewing.
" neither 1t portends possible interfer-
encs from Uncle Sam remains to be seen,

tween him and the other Federal officials.
The rumors. l think, are simply revivals
Of the old story OF many weeks ago. when
| and several other Government officials
had talk on San Francisco-bound train.
You will remem ber that il was published
at that time that the Federal authorities
had agreed that they could step in and
interfere with the holding OF the tight, but
it afterward developed that there was
nothing in this and there was no Law that
'woaId permit the Government to stop the
fight. / think you will find that these
recent yarns found their origin in that
first story"
This may be all true, but it would
scarcely cause the anxiety that is to be
noticed in certain quarters. The true in
wardness is bound to come out, and we
must be patient.
The event to-day so fer, as anything of
interest concerning either OF the big
pugiiists is concerned, was the arrival in
Carson OF Mrs. Bob Fitzsimmons and
Baby Fi,z. The Cornishman was early
out of bed in anticipation OF his better
hats coming. and be was so worked up
over the prospect of beholding his two
dear ones after weeks of separation from
them that he even neglected TO 60 out for
