Geneseo Editor Explains The Causes of
His Downfall.

| Henry Kiner. editor of the Geneseo
News, once had an invitation to put
on the mitts with Jim Corbett. He has
! followed the ex-champiOn move
ments pretty closely, evidently, AID in
this weeks issue of his paper has the
following to say about him:
'.Othello with his occupation gone
was in no more pitiable plight than is
Corbett, ex-champiOn pugilist of the
world. Wine and women, or to be
more literal, whisky and women, have
been the cause of this once glorious
gladiatOr's going. Gentleman Jim
once; barroom bum now Several
years ago he was bankers clerk in
San Francisco. He was roommate
of Arthur Howard. brother-in-law of
the editor of the News. At that time
the editor was conceded by the talent
TO be deNtrous with the gloves.
Many a noble nose did he knock in
those DAYS. Many manly cheek did
ne push the whiskers into Many 4
surging iugular vein got ii in the neck.
These goings on reached the ears
of Arthur Howard. He penned a cor
dial invitation TO the editor 10 trundle

he is considered quite handy with the
gloves. But no doubt you can do him.
He is taller than you; but not any

h wv grateful we were after we heard
more about Corbett; after his inter
view with John l.. Sullivan in New
Orleans, for instance! Gratitude is
no name for it. We used to lie awake
nights just on purpose to enjoy our
gratitude because we didn't 20. Think
of returning across the continent in a
jar, in condition of pulp! Corbett
is today the most scientific man who
poses as 4 pugilist; but his blows lack
force. He can hit his man where and
when he pleases; but the man doesn't
mind it. Sharkey, at the fight in
New York, was hit all over; but his
body after the battle did not show a
bruise.
..All of which goes to show that
