Tom O'ROurke's Scheme.

Tom ORourke, matchmaker OF the
Lexox Athletic Club, has made up his
mind that there will be no more inter-
rnptions Of contests by seconds at bouts
held at his club in the future, for the
handler of any fighter that jumps
into the ring will be arrested immedi-
atefy. J
O'Ronrke says that by enforcing such
rule the seconds # Ae fighters will
not run the risk of getting into trouble,

violations like that which occurred in

The CORBETr-SIIARkEY FAKE
All Concerned In the Fight CrOoked
but the Referee, Honest
John Kelly.

Echoes from the Corbett- McVcy- Con.
sidine. White drama, enacted at the
Lenox Boxing Club on Tuesday night,
have not yet subsided. When all the
stories told by the leading actors in the
play are compared, az they are in con.
versation dozens of times day, many
discrepancies and Inconsistencies are
made plain. go r+
1t will never be possible to convince
the public that the Corbett. Sharkey
fight was an, thing but fake from start
to finish, and, except on the part of a
few men identified with the principals,
there is no disposition to offer anything
like proof to the contrary. The mild
protests from the scapegoat, McVey, the
remarkable silence ot that garulous ac.
tor, Corbett, and the action, or, rather,
lack of action, on the part of Considine
in not keeping McVey out of the ring
are suspicious circumstances that are not
set aside by any number Of feeble ex-
plantations.
An old hand who has been an active
followero Of pugilsm for thirty years in
discussing the fake said: "My expert
ence with many OF thes q men sthat they
am honest when they are flush; when
they are hard up they will Take long
chanches. believe it is conceded that
some of the men implicated in this al
fair were hard up and needed money.
OF course, when there is an attempt to
get away with D bunch Of plunder, the
plan as it is usually outlined goes little
bit astray. In this case the decision af-
fecting bets was the thing that mlscar-
ried. Excuse me from accepting any OF
the explanations that have read since
they allowed McVey to walk into the
ring.
The most surprising thing to me about
Indifference shown by Corbett, McVey
and Consldine and the others who were
there. When McVey first entered the
ring there was not even protest from
the Sharkey corner. Is not that sng-
gestive the view that there was some
thing doing? Even when McVey got in
the second time the protest from
Sharkey's corner was mild to the point
Of tameness.
Take this fellow Corbett, who is one of
the most talkative boxers ever known,
and his explanations simply do not ex-
plain. Perhaps you do not know that
only short time ago Corbett wanted to
fix up a six round bout with Sharkey be-
lore the L.nOx club, but O'R"urke de.
cllned to enter into any such deal.
"Corbett is a dead one in pugiism,
and l am unable to understand what
J,'hn Dougherty means when he says
that Sharkey could have won in any
round Of the nine after the first. If that
is so, why did not Sharkey go in and
win? Why did he founder about like
weary lobster? There are other questions
one might ask, but they will never be
answered. The men who turned the
trick regard the public as fair game for
any swindling operation that can be
worked off,"

A PRIZE FIGHT STOPPED
SHERIFF sHUFELTON NOT AS LEN
lent AS MAYOR TAGGART.
William Canndy and James Levcrett
Were to Have Fought Near
EmerichsviiIe.

A finish fight was advertised to come off
last night near Emerichville, northwest OF
the city, and about two hundred sports as
sembled at James Scanlon's roadhouse to
go from there to the place of the fight, but
1t never came off. Sheriff Shufelton is still
mindful of his duties. even though Mayor
Taggart is willing to witness knockouts.
Great was the contrast between the event
of last night and the Kid Mccoy affair
at Tomlinson Hall few nights ago. At
Tomlinson Hall the city police force was
present and made no effort to interfere, al
though four men were knocked out as COM
pletely ever men were knocked out in
the prize ring.
Last night two men wanted to fight for
a.. purse of 500, and the sheriff stepped in
and prevented it, The men were Willis
Canaday, of this city, and James Leverett,
of Chicago. They were probably unwise in
not hiring the citys hall. They chose to
go outside the bailiwick of Mayor Taggart,
and were not permitted, as a consequence,
to violate the law. William Chapman, with
a dozen deputy sheriffs, and several police
men whom they took along, were there,
and declared that no fight should come off.
The people interested in the affair under
stood that Mr.. Chapman meant what he
said and took him at his word There was
no fight.

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Matilda Joslyn Gage. Cham
pion of WOman's Rights.

CHICAGO March 1s.-Mrs. Matilda JOS
Ign Gage died here to-day, aged seventy-two
years. Mrs. Gage won an international rep
utation as one of the earliest champions of
womans rights in America, having identi-
fed herself with that movement in 1852.
Soon after, at the age of twenty-six, she
identified herself with Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton in the cause and became one of the
suffragists' most effective public lecturers.
For many years she was president of the
New York State Woman's Suffrage Asso-
citation, and in 1876 held the position of
president of the National Woman's Suffrage
Association. with headquarters at Washing
ton. In 1873 she formed the Womans Ma
tional Liberal League, being elected its
president, which position she has since held.
Mrs Gage was associated with Mrs. Stanton
and Miss Anthony in the authorship of The
History of Woman's Suffrage, and was the
editor of the National Citizen published at
Syracuse, n. Y, from 1878 until 1882. The
most important work of her life, however,
as she herself considered, was consum-
mated in the publication three years ago
Of her remarkable book, Woman, Church
and State" At the late fifteth annual con-
vention of woman suffragists in Washington
a speech written by Mrs. Gage from her
sick bed was read.
