Saws Corbtt. Persists in Another Bout With
fizsimmons.

New York, Dec. 29.-At late hour
William A. Brady manager of James J.
William A. Brady, manager of James j.
Corbett, tonight sent to the Associated
Press the following challenge to Robert
Fitzslmmons, champion pugilist of the
world: --..-
James J.. Corbett, dissatisfied with the
result of his late contest with you at Car
son City, and not believing you are his
superior, either as a boxer or a fighter,
and being of th<. Union that the majority
of the American public share his belief
that he can defeat you if you are man
enough to grant him a return battle on
equal conditions, has deposited today $500,
as a first deposit to bind match for $l0,-
600 a side, the person or persons Offering
the largest inducements to have the man
agement of the contest AS you have said
today that your wife has withdrawn her
objections to you again entering the ring
there is no reason why the arrangement
should not be speedily contaminated; for
you in my presence at Carson City gave
Corbett your word of honor that if you
ever entered the ring again you would give
him first chance"
1t is useless for you to attempt to deceive
the public and try to boom your private
interests by attempting to force Corbett
to meet some second or third rate boxer
before he shall be entitled to your notice.
He will not agree to meet Maher, Sharkey
or auy one else. He claims the chance that
he gave you-the right to win back the title
of champion. He clearly proved himself in
your class ON March II last and it is only
by the greatest kind of fluke that you are
now titled champion, and 1 do not believe
you will ever forget until your dying day
the beating he gave you then and there if
ever he secures the opportunity to again
face you in A-foot ring 1 will guarantee
you that he will prove concusively and
beyond a question of doubt whether or
not he is in your class"
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1897-12-30
Odds and Ends.

The commences of an Egyptian mummy
having been questioned it's British owner
subjected one of the hands to the X-rays,
when the perfect outline of the human
bones was shown.
History gives sixty-eight sentimental SURF
names to emperors and kings whom it
chronicles. For instance: Charles VIII. of
France had the alias appellation of the
Rffabbe;' Philippe 1. of France, that of the
"amorous;" Alphonse XII. of Leon and Cas-
tile, 1.-THE avenger;" Victor Emmanuel re
galantuomo, etc. Many potentates are
ranked by history under the same alias.
Eight are good forty-one are great"
seven are "conquerers,' two "cruel," two
fair and four ''tat But none is sur
named the happy"
The sheriffs of London bear, perhaps the
most ancient offices in the kingdom. 1t is
supposed to date from 1889. Edward ~.
gave the citizens the right to elect their
own sheriffs, who had jurisdiction over the
county of Middlesex also. Recent legisla-
ton has created sheriff of Mfddlesex, and
also sheriff OF the county of London; but
the citizens still elect two sherinS OF the
city.
Marion Crawford's first novel and one
of his most successful is "Mr Isaacs." John
Morley read the manuscript for the pub
fishers to whom it was Gent by the un-
known author and advised against its being
accepted, saying that while 1t would be a
most creditable book to have on their lists
there would be no sale for it. In the light
of subsequent events this is amusing, for
it proves that the most infallible of critics
makes mistakes.
In ancient days sweet doors were obtains
ed by BURNING aromatic gums and woods;
hence the word perfume, which is from
the Latin per, through, and fumus, smoke
vapor. From this arose the idea of in
cense in primitive worship. 1t was used by
the orientals long before 1t became known
to the western world. People of the east
utilized it for sacrifice in their temples.
AT feasts 1t enhanced the pleasure. At
funerals 1t was a bride to appease the
names of the dead, and later, in theaters,
a disinfectant against the unpleasant odorS
of a crowded building. Pliny assures us
that incense was not employed in sacrifice
until after the Trojan war, when fragrant
woods were applied to give an agreeable
smell. In ancient magical manuscript
1t Is directed that three grains should be
taken with three fingers and placed under
the threshold to keep away evil spirits
which might come in lie form of offensive
odorS.
