choynski Favors Corbett.

New York, Feb. 4.-Joseph B. Choynski
the celebrated Californian who has boxed
both Corbett and Fitzsimmons, frankly
SAYS he does not like either of
them personally, and is, therefore, disin-
terested. but thinks Corbett will win the
coming fight. He writes:
believe Corbett will surely win. Ac-
cidents, of course, are always apt to
accident in this fight. Corbett is too care
full for that. From my experience in the
ring with both men, l am convinced that
t1tzsimmons is Corbett'S inferior in speed
base my opinion the New Zealander will
be beaten. Besides, Corbett is the
stronger man and that counts for some
thing. L have frequently heard men say
Corbett is not hitter I know he can
punch hard enough to answer all pur-
poses He can knock Fitzsimmons out
with his left hand if he lands, and l do
not insist upon swinging blow to bring
las for Corbett's right, he can stop any
living man with it, providing he can land
on the jaw.
I do not think it will be long fight.
My idea is that F'itzsimmons, after be-
coming convinced that Corbett is too
clever for him, will sail in for general
results, and if he is lucky enough to land
one of his freak punches on Corbett-and
regard his chances for landing mighty
Slim-then it will be all over
''F.tzsimmons has a small head. Any
time he is hit on the nose, the chin, over
the eye or on the ear, he gets ratified.
Corbett is so clever he can't miss Fitz-
simmons, and, after two or three leads,
the New Zealander will be fighting up in
the air.

SCHEME TRIED ON THE WYOM-
ING LEGISLATURE.
Originators a Little Too Premature,
Or the Bill Might Have Beeen
Passed.
fsnecial to The Herald.)

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 4.-Under the
title ITO authorize athletic sports" a
bill was introduced a few days ago in
the lower house of the state legislature
which would permit prize fighting. 1t
went through the hands Of the various
committees without trouble, and passed
on the first and second reading. The
orginators of the bill Immediately be-
gan preparations for securing the Cor
bett- Fitzsmmons fight. The matter was
kept quiet for a time, but finally leaked
out, and the intentions of the original
ors of the bill came to the knowledge
of the legislators, who effectually
killed the bill when it came up for its
final passage this afternoon. Thirty
members. including Bergman, who pre-
scented the bill, voted against it, and
only five for its passage. Friends Of
the bill claim that Governor Richards
had given assurances that he would
sign the bill. Edward G.. Cooke, one of
Corbett's managers. passed through
Cheyenne on Tuesday, and when in
formed of the probable passage of a
prize fight bill here he was jubilant and
stated that Corbett would prefer
Cheyenne as battle ground to any
place in Nevada, it being more cen
trally located and a better climate in
which to train.

How to Preserve Cut Flowers.

Just now flowers are literally worth
their weight in gold, and when one is
fortunate enough to become the pos
SCISSOR of a generous bowlful. it is well
worth while to study their ways TO
keep their beauty from fading. Our
readers are advised to try the follow
ing the very next time there is an OPP
portunity, and they Will have this de-
partment to thank for their flowers
lasting three or four times the length
of time they would if treated in the Or
binary manner.
In the first place before removing the
beauties from the box or paper in
which they arrive. sprinkle them
gently, but thoroughly, with fresh.
cold water; then make some good
strong soap-suds, which takes the place
of roots, and is, therefore. very i'm
portant, and put the flowers therein,
taking care not to pack the stems too
closely together. Every morning with
out fail the flowers must be taken out
of the suds, their stems clipped a wee
morsel and laid sideways in clear, cool
water. See that every stem. is we'll
covered, and let lie for a few minutes,
sprinkle with the fresh water, shake
and return to the suds, and your flow
ers will look as if just that moment
picked. Change the suds every three
days, follow this rule carefully, and at
the end of a whole month compare
your flowers with those a day or two
old, which have been carelessly
crammed into vase of water, and
mark the contrast. Even after the
fifth week the flowers that have been
fed by the suds will look passably we'll
This is certainly worth a trial for
flower lovers, and how a, few do glori-
fly room, to be sure.
A very simple and curious experiment
may be tried with ordinary household
ammonia. For instance, dip a white
or a dark red sweet pea into
the ammonia, and the former will i'm
change to a dainty yellow.

Green roses are not pretty, but if

curious to dip it, and behold it trans

Maher Wants to Meet sharkey.

COrbett and Fitzsimmons will do battle
for heavyweight championship
Maher is. however, very anxious to
meet Sharkey for various reasons. 1t
appears that the Irish champion re-

city some time ago which stated that
Sharkey positively refused to meet a

Proposition to sharkex.

Pittsburg. Feb. As both Maher and
Sharkey intend TO challenge the winner
OF the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. fight next
month. John J. Quinn. manager, and
Michael CcnQelly. hacker for Maher, to-
night made the following proposition to
Sharkey:
Peter Maher will fight Sharkey in Ne
vada for any purse Dan Stuart will offer
and a side bet of from 50 600 to $4,000. If
Maher don't win the match, he will not
challenge the winner of the Corbett-
Fitzsim.nons fight. If Sharkey is de-
feated, then Maher is to challenge the
winner OF the big battle.
'.Maher" said his manager, sis salts
fed he can easily defeat Sharkey. and
has no doubt about being able to de-
feat either Corbett or FitzSimmons We
desire the public to know that Maher
is willing to meet Sharkey and show that
he can defeat him, and be fully entitled
to challenge the champion, no matter
whether il be Corbett or Fitzsimmons."

About Spider Webs.

Rightly considered. a spiders web is
a most curious as we'll as most beau
tiful thing. When we were children
the majority of US supposed that the
spiders web was pulled out of his
mouth and that the little insect had
a large reel of the stuff in his stomach
and that he could almost instantly add
feet, yards or rods to the roll. The
facts are that spiders have a regular
spinning machine-a set of tiny tubes
at the far end of the body-and that
the threads are nothing more or less
than a white, sticky fluid which hard
ems as soon as it comes in contact with
the air. The spider does not really and
truly 'spin," but begins thread by
pressing his "spineret" against some
object to which the liquid sticks. He
then moves away and, by constantly
ejecting the fluid and allowing it to
harden, forms his ropes or wonder geo.

ments after the papers had been sent
To him for his signature.
All sorts of rumors had been circu-
lated among the sporting fraternity
last night and this morning, most of
which were to the effect thai the fight
had been declared off.
Mr.. Smith said: ''FitZsimmons mere
~ destroyed an old agreement as to
stakes, which had no bearing on the
fight whatever. What his reasons We're
1t was probably another exhibition Of
his extremely eccentric nature
The paper which FitzsimmOns de-
stroyed was an agreement which he
and Corbett signed some time ago to
fight for side bet of $1,000 before the
club offering the most fiattering in
ducements before March ]. 1897.
Manager Brady, VINO looks after Cor

agreement for the fight on March Il,
if F'itzsimmonS agreed. 1t was the eX-
tension of this agreement which
awaited FitZsimmonS' signature when
he tore up the papers.
Fitzsimmons did not give any par
ticular reason for wanting the agree
ment destroyed but it is said by per
sons who knew him that he wanted to
give Corbett an opportunity to raise
the side bet if he wishes it.
