Editor Daily Camera:
Referring TO your notice in the issue
Of the 9th inst. of temporary injunction
writ secured BY Sarah A. H. Brotherton
against the Nancy Gold Mining and
Milling company and its directors, re-
s,ra,ning them from selling any Of the
treasury stock. permit me to correct one
or two errors in the statement.
A sale of the treasury stock was not
advertised. nor did Mr.. Badger and my
self ever conspire to sell the same for an
amount far below its value. We both
oppose any sale of the treasury stock at
less than par and have never contem
plated any sale of it at less than tina,
figure. and further, we do not consider a
sale at this time at all necessary as it is
our opinion that under proper manage
ment, the Gillard mine belonging to the
company. will produce more than suf.
hcent money to m-etth few outstanding
claims against the company and all oper-
ating expenses and contract payments
as they fall due.
In justice to the company and Mr.,
Badger and myself. will you kindly in
sert the above in your next issue and

BY the way, l have come upon a

months and it has puzzled me. 1 first
heard it from big neWsboy, who had
a stand on q corner. A small boy
with several papers under his arm had
edged UP until he was trespassing on
the territory of the other. When the
big boy saw the small one he went at
him in a threatening way and said:
Here, here! Twenty-threei Twenty
three!' The small boy scowled and
talked under his breath, but he moved
away. A few days after that l saw a
street beggar approach a well-dressed
man who might have been a book
maker or horseman. and try for the
usual touch This man looked at the
beggar in cold disgust and said: "Aw,

beggar didn't understand 1t any better

who tries to keep up on slang, and

He said it was a signal to clear out,
run, get away. In his opinion it came
from the English race tracks, twenty
three being the limit on the number of
horses allowed to start in one race
This was his opinion. l don't know
that twenty-three is the limit But his

SPORTS DISGUSTED.
Worcester Men at the Fight
Say Sharkey Was
Robbed.

The Worcester contingent is back
from the fight. They are not pleased
with the result, by any means. That
the decision is open to revision, if there
can be such a thing as revision in a
prize fight, most of the Worcester men
that were at the ringside, say is a
fact. The press reports do not begin
to give the public an idea of the fight,
they say. Sharkey, even one Of the
most stalwart Of the Jeffries men, said
to The Spy reporter last night, should
have been awarded the decision. From
the first, he led the battle. Jeffries at
various stages of the game, according
to them, showed traits of the coward.
When the decision was given by Geo.
Siler, Kid Mccoy told group Of Wor-
cester sports, that it was like highway
robbery. Jeffries, he said should never
have got the decision. There were no
grounds that he could see where he was
entitled to it.
That there will never be another
fight between Jeffries and Sharkey, the
Worcester men that The Spy reporter
talked with, agreed upon. One man
who saw Sharkey after the fight said
that the story that he had a couple of
broken ribs and a broken arm, was a
fairy tale. He simply hurt one of his
wrists, and this kept him from using
that arm during the last few rounds.
John l.. Sullivan was at the fight, and
the Worcester men said that he never
looked more like himself in his life
that is. compared with the days when
he was John L.. in large plea type.
Kid Mccoy told one Worcester man
who was at the ringside, that the de-
cision must have been premeditated
between Brady and Siler. Brady is
given credit with having kept Siler and
his family in New York for some time.
Sharkey, it is notorious, is not popu-
lar with the so-called 400 in the ranks
of sportingdom. His style does not
suit them.
The man that gave these opinions to
The Spy reporter was Jeffries man
! from the start, but when he saw the
| fight, he did not like the tactics of the
big Californian. Sharkey, he said, did
all the rushing and actual fighting.
There is a good story told of Buff
falo man at the ringside. He had bet
upon Jeffries, yet when the decision
was given by Siler and the stakeholder
paid over the money he threw back
the portion the other fellow bet. This
is robbery" he said, and the gang, ir-
respective of favorites, cheered him for
his honesty.
That Peter Maher, if he got half a
show, could wallop either man, most
of the Worcester sports are willing to
syndicate their luck upon.

q GREAT SACRIFICE.
E. [. Smith Company's Stock Offered
At RidcuIously Low Prices.


At Ridiculousiy Low Prices.
The ladies of Worcester, and in fact
every one who buys ladies' goods will
reap a harvest at the Edward L. Smith
company's store for the rest of the
winter The entire stock is to be
cleared out. and the value of the
goods is to have nothing to do with
the prices put on them for the sale,
which will last until everything is
gone. The stores are exceptionally well
stocked just now, preparatory to the
fall and winter trade, and most of the
stock is entirely new. In fact, ship
ments ordered early in the summer are
still coming. and these, as well as the
stock on han6, are to go at a sacrifice
Ii is impossible to say in a general
way what sort of "a reduction there Will
be. In millinery 1t will be from 50 to
70 per cent, and in other departments
1t will be about the same. A number
of fur caDes on hand which have been
selling anywhere from $50 to 500, are
to be reduced to merely a nominal
price. Christmas goods, which are still
coming in rapidly, in the shape Of dolls
ana Iancy afucleS ana toys, are to be
cut in price to the bone. 1t will be a
good opportunity for any one contem-
plating holding church fairs or fairs of
any sort, to take advantage of the low
prices to obtain goods which will sell
at four and five times their cost value
at the toy table.
The same reductions will hold good
in the dress goods and furnishing de-
partments. Fancy silks are to be put
way down without regard to value, and
Hamburg embroideries win be as cheap
as cotton cloth. The linen buyer of
this establishment had just placed an
order for a large amount of towels
without knowing of the coming sale,
and these will be put on the tables at
prices to astonish any one In short.
there isn't a thing in the stores that is
going to be sold at over half what it is
worth. and the opportunity is too good
