singing as we heard from Mr.. Ernest

What refinement and dignityof bearing!
What attention to every minute detail

from this master, Mr.. Gamble was
most successful, particularly with the
number from 'Scipio', in which he

in New York.
The warship Raleigh, one of Dewey's

weather, then, was even worse, but the
grand old vessel and her heroic crew
received the cheers of thousands of
people that lined the bank of the Hud-

from the Battery to Grants tomb and
back, some twenty-five miles.
The welcome was most enthusiastic
and inspiring, despite the heavy down.

FitzsimmOns Says He Will Double
the Dose on Sharkey Next June.

COLUMBUS. O.. Feb. 27.-Barring a slight
soreness in the calves of his legs, due to in
judicous road work. Bob Fitzsimmons de-
clares himself as fit as a fiddle, and in per-
feet condition. No thought of rheun atism or
kindred ailments disturbs his rest.
At indianapolis FitZsmmons tried himself
OUT on the road and rather overdid the
matter, being unused to the work. He took
a long run and the next day found his legs
somewhat sore. 1t has net bothered him,
however. and a hot bath dispelled the linger-
ing effects of his sudden industry.
In the meantime Martin Julian is talking
the COney Island Athletic club in New York
the night before the suburban handicap is
run.
It's the best night in the year for the
contest. he declares enthusiastically. "All
the sporting men will be hand for the
race. and the summer resorts will empty
themselves Of men for such an OCCASION.
In the meantime Julian is not relaxing a
whit in his attitude of defiance to O'Rourke
and declares that either he will be permitted
to match Fitz wherever he pleases, without
reference to the wishes of the Lenox club 8
manager. mo more fights shall be pulled
off in New York while Tom 0'Rourke is

What do you think of Sharkey's rheuma-
tism?" was asked of Fitz.
We'll. you cant tell anything about that
faker. he replied. Il suppose he had to
get something to square himself l guess I
surprised him when | posted my money to
make a match with him. He suddenly lost
all interest in me- He has not forgotten
that knocked his teeth loose. broke his nose,
damaged one of his ears and put him to
bed for two weeks when l met him in San
Francisco. When We meet again I will put
him to bed for four weeks

quiste bits:
You are fond of the sublime in nature,
and yet not moved to enthusiasm by
grandeur. You take pleasure in looking at
colors. You take great delight in arranging
flowers, and can harmoniousy combine coIors;
could become color artist.
You are generous, philanthropic and be-
nevolent. Your heart is touched by tales of
distress. but your Judgment is consulted when
you bestow charity.
You are inspired by music, and feel its
divine baptism I'LL your soul.
You manifest close application, and are
capable or great concentration of mind.
You are high minded, and aspire to do
something worthy of yourself, never descend
to clownishness, scorn to do mean acts,
evince an independence of character which
brooks no restraint
You are very intellectual and If cult
vated may perform wonders in mentality. You
are favored by nature with rather more than
ordinary size and strength of brain.
You are eXquisitely nodded; high minded
and shrink from anything vulgar; are capa-
Die or intense enjoyment and terrible suffer-
ing. You are artistic poetic. aesthetic and
have strong emotions and are subject to ex-
tremes of sorrow and Joy.
You will live to be SO years old and die
III the full possession OF all your senses.
There is no sickness or disease whatever
coming into your life.
You will never meet with any serious ac-
cident.
You will whip any one in the next ten
years who will meet you in the ring.
You will win your next fight with Sharkey
and will knock out Jeffries in the third round.
1T is your destiny D>become exceedingly
wealthy.
Your lucky day is every Tuesday, and
would advise you to arrange all meetings

him in charge of Station Officer Andy
Call. When Henry returned, together
with the prisoner, he went through
the gates and boarded the train. Pass
ing through into the smoker with his
man beside him, Henry saw a vacant
seat and remarked: There's q seat. -
When he turned around, his prisoner

titled Andy Call. Together the men
made thorough search among the
railroad yards, freight houses and 9TH
err buildings, but found no trace of the
prisoner, except some foot prints in
the snow that looked as if made by a
man taking very long steps ard lead
ing in a direction where no one would
be likely to 60. On this clue the yards
up the river above the depot were
searched, and Officers Murnane, Swee-
ney, DAILY and Pat Murnane joined the
searching party. A laborer informed
the party that he had seen a man
crossing on the Chicago e. Great West
ern bridge, and the West side police
were notified.
During the day a man reported to
the Sheriff that he had seen a man
answering Valentines description
handcuffed and without an overcoat In
a barn on the West side, but a search
resulted in nothing.
The police are considerably puzzled
at the apparently unaccountable dis
appearance of the man. Without an
overcoat and with handouts in plain
view, it did not seem possible that any
man could roam around in the heart
of st. Paul without being noticed by
some one, but 1t Is believed that some
employee in the machine shops on the
West side of the river must have been
moved by compassion to chisel off the
manacles.
Deputy Marshal Henry says Valen-
tines disappearance is a complete mys-
terry to him. He says his eyes were off
the prisoner less than half a minute,
just long enough for him to glance up
the car aisle for an empty seat. When
he turned round his prisoner was gone.
Il don't know how It happened.
said he. Valentine was handcuffed
and I marched him to the coach ahead
of me. We found the coach somewhat
crowded and in the jostling about the
door I stepped in ahead of Valentine.
The prisoner was close to me so that
I could feel him pressing against me
when I leaned over the arm of a seat
and looked down the aisle for two va
cant seats At this time we stood
within few feet of the door I turred
about to tell Valentine to come along,
having espied two seats further up
the aisle, when, to my establishment.
