KIPLING'S CONDITION.

New York, March S.-Last night in
Rudyard Kipling's apartment at the
Hotel Grenoble was the quietest since
the author was taken i'll. Only the
nurse was astir. The patient rested
comfortably all night, his sleep being
natural, as it has been for several days.
Elsie kipli ng, the threeyear-old in
valid, also had a comfortable night,
and is improving steadily.
The following bulletin was issued al
2:15 p. M:
"Mr. Kipling has continued to i'm
prove. He has only very slight fever,
less to-day than at any previous time.
This was due to co-existent pleurisy
which is lessening.
"E. G. JANEWAY."
Rudyard Kipling's health continues to
mend slowly. So far, beef tea is his
only article of diet and nothing will be
added to it until an Improvement in
mis- condition will permit. He has not
yet been told of the death of his daugh-
ter Josephine. Elsie, the other daugh-
ter, rested quietly to-day.
At 10 O'Clock tonight Mr.. Kipling
was said to be resting quietly and max
ing encouraging progress. 1t was said

"It Grows
Brighter and
Better from
Week TO
Week"

That is the unsolicited testimonial of a
reader of the Sunday Register, and it
calls attention to fact long recognized
by the reading public of the Upper Ohio
Valley. The Sunday Register is brighter
each succeeding week, and has now fairly
eclipsed all pretended rivals in this por-
ton of the country.
But further progress is to be made
greater efforts to please and interest
higher aims in specialties, in illustrations
and in general attractiveness-A broader
range of topics, by writers of national
repute, and all the news of all the world,
presented in the best way, is the constant
motto of the editor. The newspaper
which does not constantly progress, falls
behind. The world moves, and a news
paper must move with it.

All ERROR

been discovered at the Navy Depart

Leslie Pearce returned yesterday
from Beaver Falls, where he coached
Buzz" Auber, of this city, in his bout
with Johnson, Tuesday night. Pearce
states that Buzz made a surprisingly
good showing against his opponent.
Pearce instructed him to proceed eau
tiously during the early rounds, and as
q result sBuzz' stood off his opponent,
and returned blow for blow. He also
displayed considerable science.
In the seventh round, Johnson
caught Auber on the jaw, and sent him
to the floor. He was on his feet in an
instant. He wore shoes which caused
him to trip and fall a second time.
1t was not from blow. Officers
whose zeal for the preservation of the
peace and dignity of the community,
greatly exceeded their knowledge of
boxing, thought Auber was weak and
gToggy and stopped the bout. The de-
cision was given to Johnson, and very
properly too, on his showing in the
seventh round. "Buzz" was no more out
than / am now" said Pearce.
"Buzz" is anxious for another match
with Johnson Who will probably &C
commodate him. Johnson has the adj
vantage over him in height and
reach, and better general knowledge
of ring tactics, resulting from his mix
ups with some very clever men.

Mr.. Depew Tells sad story.
"Mr. Vanderbilt left Newport yesterday

MIR. yandcrbi1t's Fortune.
While il was generally known that
Mr.. Vanderbilt was an enormously rich
man, yet little is known of his actual
fortune. He was most reticent about
,Iis private affairs. His fortune has been
variously estimated ali the way from
Ss0, 900, 900 to 5000, 100000. Ii was most
~ in railroad stocks, bonds and securi-
ties. In fact, he had no holdings of inn
portance in any corporation aside from
railroads. He was comparatively not a
large real estate owner. While he
owned the house and grounds at Fifth
avenue and Fifty-seventh street, the
Breakers at Newport and farm AZ
Newport, yet he did not invest in real
estate as speculation, but simply pur-
chased what ground he wished for his
own use.
