sirous of having the plant and Say tlat
the trustees would do we'll to give the
ground free of charge.
New Castle needs more Industries as
the experience Of last year shows, for the
shut down OF the Delaware Iron Works
proved disastrous to the interests of the
town and almost caused famine People
were out of work and starving. Money,
food and clothes were donated from
nearby towns, cities, by individuals and
societies.
The trustees OF the New Castle COM

narrowing experience and instead OF
making an extra effort to get manufac-
lures, they want n>easly little sum Of
$50 year for lease of the now useless
ground which would be OF no benifit to
the town and its working people.

What Honest John Kelly Says.

In giving his version of the affair,
Referee Kelly says:
"[ stopped the bout and gave the de-
cision to Sharkey because McVey. one
OF Corbett's seconds, in violation of all
rules, jumped into the ring.
81 called al, bets off because I believe
the action of McVey was paid for by
somebody who had bet on Sharkey, and
did not propose to decide public money
on a palpable fake.
II would not be a party to any such
fraud.
mo one can tell me McVey lost his
head. He has been behind fighters for
years, and there was some fraudulent
deal behind his movement. So far as
can see, the fighters were about on even
terms when 1 stopped the bout in the
ninth round.

Is nothing like this exercise for making

as much part and parcel Of a woman's
wardrobe these days, as her street
costume or ball gown. Some seasons
ago any old home. made affair was made
to do. but this year the bicycle gowns
are tailor made and as artistic as possible.
The cycle bids fair to become more
used than ever in the French army. The
particular form of machine recent " ex-
perimented with was the Gerard folding
bicycle. Over fairly level country it was
found possible to move companies OF
troops at the rate of about nine miles an
hour, and over hilly or muddy roads at
a speed Of between seven and eight miles.
French military authorities consider the
soldier cyclist as superior to any form OF
mounted infantry or those carried in
carts. One advantage in particular the
cyclist has, and that is that on very bad
roads the rider simply folds his machine
and slings it across his back.

SELF DEFENCE.

This is the cry in the sporting world
to-day.
How long will the people stand for it?

For deliberately selling his name and
agreeing to such fiasco as was enacted
last night Corbett's chances Of ever again
aspiring to the pugilistic championship
are absolutely nil.
Had not Referee Kelly declared all bets
off the 'job'' would have worked to per-
fec, ion. That there vas a job and that
some of Corbett's seconds were in with
it, seems quite clear, in view of last
nights developments. 1t is pointed out
that all the wise gamblers and "s'lre

the public form players wagered their
