CITY IN A VOLCANO.
Picturesque Town of Saba, ia the
West Indies.
(From 81. Nlcholas.)

(From st. Nicholas)
II you will take down your Biographies
and look on the map Of the West Indies
you will notice between the Islands Of
Santa Cruz and Sc. Christopher. two
small islets which, unless your map is an
unusually large and complete one. will
have no names given. These two islands
belong to the Dutch. and the most north
erly and westerly of them Is called Saba
The Dutch are noted for their odd and
quaint customs and for their perseverance,
Holland being sometimes called the land
Of pluck" but doubt II anywhere in all
their possessions have these curious peo-
pie shown their queer and eccentric habits
to greater advantage than in the little out
of-the-way island Of Saba
The island Is small, IT'S greatest diame-
ter being not over two and one half miles,
and IL IL nothing more than an isolated
mountain top rising out OF the sea. The
SIDES are very steep ana high, ris-

Rape Case.

Word comes from Lovelock Of a
revolving rape cas which occurred at
that place a day or two ago. It is
alleged that an old and heretofore
respected resident Of Rye Patch, New.
named Marion Howell. committed
rape on a six-year-old child. named
Nellie Davis. at Lovelock, and that a
mob got after Howell to lynch him.
but his life was saved by the constable
firing into the crowd and keeping it
at bay until he could get Howell to q
place Of safety. He was arraigned
before a justice Of the peace at Love
lock, but waived an examination, and
was taken to Winnemucca and locked
up, pending an investigation of the
case by a grand jury.
The excitement at Lovelock ran
high for a time, but has now sub
sided.

r N CORBETT
Their Ghosts Fight TIE Big
Battle Over Again.

There vas Il large audience at the
Opera House lAst evenirg to SEE the
shades OF C"rbett and FitZsinmons
90 over the great battle Of the I'm OF
March.
Up In the gallery the projecting ma
chinery was closed in "a wooden struc-
ture. When the lights were turned
down the machinery was stated and
then the audience saw Corbett and
F'tzslmmOns humping each other
all up and down and across the can
vas.
You see more than that, and, in
facr, what is see' prior to the ''c,m-
mencement of hostilities" is as inter
esting as anything that follows. The
scene opens just as tho men enter the
ring and while the ti~mekpepprs and
sundry favored individuals are SET
Ting themselves in the foreground
between The Photographic paraph-r-
MALTA and the ropes.
Billy MuldOon is there as large
rs life, and the majestic manner in
which he tapps the gong begets the
suspiciO" thai he felt that his every
move a being registered by the
rapid-ffring camera. Besides Null
doom there ARE others" and some
tolerably prominent,
What is passing within the ropes
prior to the opening round is extreme
ly realistic Cnrhett is moving around
testing the ring floor ana smiling and
waving his hand to friends. Fitz, his
tank figure enveloped in a bath robe,
is stroiling up and down on his eide
OF the ring, He is apparently as cool
as a transatlantic traveller Just kill
ing time on deck ultil the dinner bell
rings.
All the seconds and bottle-holders
are in evidence, of course, and while
waiting for the gonG-tap they seem TO
be uni ading warnings and advice on
their principals with the came rapid
ity that the scope is snap-snooting.
There is no occasion to tell the
s:ury Of the fight again. The veri-
scope gives it word for word, or blow
for blow rather, as it was described in
the APPEAL the day Of the contest.
OF he reproduction it must be said
that it is a wonderful thing.
The first round is somewhat
"furry" and the second is clearer.
The sixth round, the liveliest Of them
all, and the fourteenth and last is
faultless until Corbert drags himself
AID his solar plexus out of range and
leaves only his defeated legs ia view.
The performance will be re peated
this evening. Many ladies were pres
emf. and after the exhibition the ladies
were shown the apparatus and films
which ih itself was as interesting as
anything connected with the per
Torrance, which will be repeated this
evening.
