THE COMING BOUT.

Tickets for the champion bout be- tween Dan Murphy and Jack Coston are going very rapidly. The men are in tip- top condition and they think that they will both be on there feet at the end of the battle, which is for twenty rounds Coston feels very confident that he will get the decision and Murphy is equally confident. At all events the men will put up one of the hottest goes ever seen in this state. and the winner will be the champion middle weight of this state, and about $500 in pocket Munroe, who is matched with Jack Ward, gave an exhibition of bag punch- ing at the Franklin A. c. rooms yester- day, and he certainly is a hummer, for he can make the bag do almost every thing but talk. Kelly is also training at the Franklins, and says that he will make short work of Caulfield These three bouts are without doubt as good as were ever seen in this city and the house will know doubt be packed. Sam Austin will be referee.

LOST MONEY RETURNED.
An Old Pensioners Money Fount Through the Medium of a Newspaper

An Old Pensioners Money Found
 Through the Medium of a Newspaper
 Item.
 A few days ago while walking down Chapel street an elderly lady, who is a widow of veteran of the War of the Rebellion, lost pocketbook containing five dollars and a railroad mileage book somewhere between High and Temple streets. The lady is dependent on a pension of $6 per month and felt her loss keenly. The fact of her loss was published in the morning papers with her address, and the next day an old lady called on the loser and return ed the pocketbook and contents, which she had found. The old lady said that she had endeavored to find the owner on Chapel street as soon as she found the pocketbook, but it was not until she saw the news item in the papers that she was able to restore the money to the owner.

PETTIT AND LATHAM.
American Will Play the Englishman for
 $5000 a Side

$5,000 Side
 Boston Jan. 6.-Thomas Petit, ex- champion court tennis player of the world gave out to-day the following answer to the chalelnge issued by Peter w Latham. champion of England:
 Peter W. Latham, champion court tennis player of England on the eve of his departure from New York several weeks ago issued challenge to me through a third party to play him a match in England for a stake and the championship of the world.
 T went to England in 1885 and by defeating George Lambert won the title to the championship of the world. In 1890 I also went to England to defend that title against Charles Saunders won this match, but soon after resigned the championship.
 Latham evidently understands that I stand in his way. Hence this chal- lenge.
 After having two matches for the championship of the world in England I consider it only fair that any one chal- lenging me should play in America. Therefore I will play Latham a match in any court in America for $5, 900 side, the match to be the best of thirteen sets played on three days. four sets each day with days rest between. If the match should be come six-all, the de- cidng set shall be played on the last day"

PoIi,s Wonderland Theater.

The bill at the Wonderland drew ~ large audience again last night, and it was a notable that many of our best musical people were present. Tho weeks booking runs strong to music, although not too much so, for the numbers are first class. William Win- dom. the wonderful lyric tenor, IS pleasing everybody with his fine song recitals, assisted by the Blackstone quartette. The Angela Sisters, who giva another musical number, are very artis- tic and cultivated girls who sing har- monious arrangements of we'll known ballad and operatic selections, and one whistles divinely. The main comedy feature, Watson and Hutchings, assist ed by Edwards as the tramp, is most amusing skit and is full of laughter provoking situations. Others in the bill are the Blondells, the Kawamura troupe of Japanese midgets, Crowley and Fo-s ley, Eddie Moore, Robbins, the trick cyclist, and Watson and Newton. Prices, 10 and 20 cents; ladies in the afternoon, 10 cents.

THE OIL WIZARD.

Jacob Long, Whose Forked Stick Points
 to the Fluid-Recent Discoveries Have
 Made His Reputation National-For
 Long Time Before the Oil Fever Be-
 came Epidemic He Was Known as the Water Wizard.
 Down at Jefferson lives a man who has been famous because of his uner- ring prediction as to the location of oil streams in the bowels of the earth. His name is Jacob Long. He does the trick with forked stick.
 Twenty years ago, when yet in his prime, Long was sought after far and near. He was known as a water witch and whenever sawmill or place of residence was selected it was then that Long was called upon to see if nature had made provision for water By means of a forked stick, one prong of which he held in each hand, and the sim gle prong pointing upward, Long would begin his search for the vein of water. As he passed over the vein the forked stick would turn in his hands and point downward.
 So unerringly did Long perform his work that no one thought of putting down we'll in his vicinity unless the water witch was consulted.
 Once, about twenty years ago, while Long was searching for water his forked peach limb performed such an- tics that even the diviner was amazed. When seeking to locate water the stick always turned outward from him and pointed down, but only when standing directly over the vein of water and losing the strange power when it was crossed But on this occasion the peach limb turned both inward and outward and on any place within several-acre tract.
 This phenomena was more than Long could comprehend. He studied about it several weeks and finally went to J. H. Dowell, man of learning, and in- quired what else could be found in the earth Dowell, after enumerating many natural products, stated that in some parts of the country oil and gas were also found. Long then announced to his rural neighbors that under their farms lay vast reservoirs of gas and oil. So absurd did this seem that he was laughed at and suspicious cast upon his sanity. He tried to induce some of his

Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
 Gentleman.
 No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia People having it think that their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicine and spring remedies. The real seat of the mischief is lost sight of; the stom- ach Is the organ to be looked after
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms Of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every other organ; in some cases the heart palpitates and is irreg- ular; in others the kidneys are affected; in others the bowels are constipated, with headaches; still others are trou- bled with loss of flesh and appetite, with accumulation of gas, sour risings and heartburn.
 MT. A. w. Sharper of No. 61 Prospect street, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as fol- lows: "A motive of pure gratitude prompts me to write these few lines re- garding the new and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. have been a sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the last four years; have used va rious patent medicines and other reme- dies without any favorable result. They sometimes gave temporary relief until the effects of the medicine wore off I attributed this to my sedentary habits, being a bookkeeper with little physical exercise, but am glad to state that the tablets have overcome all these obstacles, for I have gained in flesh, sleep better and am better in every way. The above is written not for mo- toriety, but Is based on actual fact.
 Respectfully yours,
 "A. w. SHARPER,
 "61 Prospect St., Indianapolis, Ind" It is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets will cure any stomach weak ness or disease except cancer of stom- ach. They cure sour stomach, gas, loss of flesh and appetite, sleeplessness, pal pitation, heartburn, constipation and headache.

"A PARIS MODEL. ,

One of the most interesting and at tractive features of the season will be the first presentation here of "A Paris Model" a new three act comedy by Jane Mauldin-Reigl. The author, well known writer of New York city, has constructed play in clear and skill full manner, unusual in it's motive, and situations, abounding in thrilling inci dents and well supplied with humorous relief.
 The scene is laid in New York. This play will serve to introduce in fitting part. and a play worthy of the talent and merit, Mime. Pillar Morin, one of the this time has not been seen in speaking parts. She Is best remembered for her artistic pantomimic portrayal of ''L Engant Prodigue,' with which she as- tonished and delighted American au- diences two years ago. Mime. Pillar Mo- rln will appear in the role of a French music hall singer, the character around which the plot revolves. She will have a supporting company with scarcely a flaw. It includes Leo Dietrichstein, an expert and original character actor" who has also tried his hand at play- making. All theatergoers who appre- ciate the best that the modern stage has to offer, both in plays and in their interpretation, will not fail to avail themselves of this opportunity.
 "A Paris Model' is not a one part Day It's characters are all imDOrtant and are strikingly differentiated.

HARUM sCARUM CLUB.

And Their Annual Sociable, Business Meeting, Installation of New Members and Dinner Go to Make Up the Pro- gramme.
 The Harum Scarum club is peculiar institution. It is unlike other clubs and institutions in that 1t only meets once a year on the first of January, and that in a social capacity. In fact there is only one more club that comes near it in similarity and that is the Raga Muffin's club, which also meets but once year. Unlike the Harum Scarums, however, instead of choosing cold January for their gathering they come together on the great and glorious Fourth of July. Strange to say, both societies are com posed of some of our best known and highly respected Scottish citizens. The aims and objects of the Harum Scar ums are worthy ones, but their secrets are so well kept by the members that outsiders have no chance of finding out what they are To gain admission as a member one, it is said, must have gain ed some great victory during the year. But what the victory is never becomes known unless to the members. The curious name of the society has attract ed the attention of many who have poured for hours over Johnston and searched diligently through Webster in order that they might. be able to solve at least this part of the riddle, but all in vain. No such words as harum scarum could they find.
 The Harum Scarums met on Saturday as they have done for years at the home aF M, Wolcott street. Here regular Scottish New Year dinner was served to all the members.
 The menu was as follows:
 Soups.
 Scotch Broth.
 Fish,
 Yarmouth Bloaters and Red Herrin.
 Wi Cauld Tatties.
 Entrees.
 Haggis.
 Wi a Drop O the Auld Kirk.
 Joints.
 Gobbley Jock Roast Beef and Steak
 Pie
 Vegetables. Kilmarnock Leek's, Ayrshire Tatties
 and Troon Neep's. Grosers Frae Kilmarnock, Dundee Mar malade, Plum Puddin and Apple
 Dumplin.
 Tee Cream and Cauld Water.
 Cigars. Hot Coffee. After having done ample justice to the good things provided by the host and hostess the business meeting of the club was held and the election of officers took place, as follows: President, Mrs. George N. Andrew; vice president. MT. w. l.. Andrew, jr. secretary, MT. George Wallace; treasurer, Miss L. An drew, and financial secretary, Miss Liz zie Deans. Three new members were instituted, MT and Mrs. James Mus tarde and Miss Lizzie Deans of Danr bury. Songs were sung and games in- dulged in with great spirit until the wee sma' hours ayont the twall, at which time the company joined in sing ing Auld Lang Syne. and thus brought to a close one of the most enjoyable gatherings that the Harum Scarums have had since their institution.

Carl Haswin, Mary Lawman, Emily Maynard, Fife Pearl, W. H. Smedley, R. c. Le Roy and George Morehead deserve special mention. But the chief feature is, of course, the chilG The work of Master Edwin Smedley, who is only seven years of age, in the long and exacting role of Little Lord Faun- tleroy'' is simply a marvel. It seems impossible for mere child to be able to learn and play such part as this, but this clever youngster. goes through with it as if he had been an actor for difficult that it is necessary to have two children, as one can not possibly ap-l pear more than once a day. Master Ellis Smedley, who Is one year older than his brother, appeared at the eva- ming performance, and they are so near alike that it is utterly impossible to tell them apart.
