New York. June s.-Everything Is IN
readiness for the big fight tomorrow
night between Bob Fitzsimmons and
Jim Jeffries, and with the possible ex-
ception OF police interference. or ar un-
looked for accident 10 either one " the
principals. the fight VIII take place as
scheduled in the arena % the Coney Is
land Club.
Brady and Julian seem { be conf
dent that the contest will be- permitted
to 60 TO a decision without any unto
ward incident 50 far as the legal au-
thorities are concerned.
Fftzsimmons is still a prime favorite
in the betting. but there is plenty OF
Jeffries money in sight, and while no
large wagers have a yet been recorded.
there is no doubt that with growing
confidence in the ability OF the promo
tiers 10 pull OF the mill successfully. he
betting will assume large proportions
by tomorrow.
Everything was practically at A
standsdll today at the training quar-
ters Of both pugilists, both men doing
very little work Jeffries punched the
bag for a few minutes and after a brief
spell OF practice with the medicine bal
skipped the rope a couple Of hundred
times.
George Siler, OF Chicago. who Is to
referee the contest, was one OF the Wis
itorS at the cottage by the seaShore to-
day. Referee Siler was accompanied
by his wife, who told Jeffries that she
had bet a new bonnet on his success.
When asked with whom she had made
the bet, she laughed and said: "A very
dear friend of mine. who Will nav for
the bonnet in case Jeffries wins"
Mr.. Siler said in conversation with
Jeffries and his trainer, Billy Delaney,
that Fitzsimmons agreed to "A clean
break. Delaney claimed that a clean
break means a great deal to FitZsim-
mons and shows that Bob is afraid OF
J~effries' driving machinery.
Every one OF the Jeffries' party, in
Guiding the big fellow himself, seems
confident Of his victory, and none OF
them looks for the battle to last over
ten rounds.
F1tzsimmons drove to the Coney Is
! land clubhouse, accompanied by Yank
kennty, Jack Everhart, Dan Hickey,
Martin Julian and Kid Mccoy. rs soon
as Fitzsimmons reached his dressing
room he and Kenney stripped to the
buff and donned their fighting togs. They
entered the ring n SPARED three fas;
rounds, only exchanging light taps. The
work OF both men was closely watched
by a number Of experts, the most prom
inent OF whom was Kid Mccoy, who
has posted a $1,000 forfeit i'm the hands
of George Siler to bind a match with
FftZsimmmons. After the men had re-
tired to their dressing room Mccoy de-
clared that FitZsimmmons was "A won

French Terms in Cooking.

How to Keep the Cellar Sweet.

Be lavish in the use of lime. Char
coal, also, is an excellent disinfectant
and purifier. An open box of it
makes q good cellar ornament.
Admit a draft of fresh air daily,
whatever the weather. Do not let
rubbish accumulate. II your desire for
boarding old things is irresistible,
crafty it anywhere but in the cellar.
If you have furnace in the cellar,
insist upon its having a cold air box.
The heated air which fills the up
stairs rooms is more healthful if
drawn from outdoors into the fur
mace, than if supplied from the cellar,
however clean and we'll ventilated the
latter may be.

An Expensive Economy.

Here's the first law of health-Keep
your feet dry. We all know that the
shortest cut to cold is a pair of wet
feet. But it's so important matter
that We can't be reminded too often,
especially when the reminder carries
the weight of authority.
DIR. Wendell c. Phillips. of New
York, was recently giving a lecture on
"Colds, and How to Prevent Them"
1t was rainy night, and he began:
"How many persons here wore rub.
bers tonight Hands up.
"Not half of you. Now that is
what l thought. Every one of you
should have rubbers on a night like
this. To 60 without them is to invite
colds, bronchial trouble, catarrh, and
pneumonia. 1t is astonishing how
people neglect their feet. Rubbers
are fifty cents. You can save lot OF
money on the investment-perhaps a
ten-days' doctors bill, to say nothing
of medicine"
