To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Your paper Is so generally accurate and
fair that its reports are accepted unques-
tioningiy not only by local readers, but by
the great host of newspaper correspondents,
and SO it becomes unusually serious when
you prove yourself human by an error, as
you certainly did in what was said of Mr.
Gaston's Interview with me. This is the
more surprising as Mr.. CASTOR told me yes
terday that was in sight when he gave
his side of the case at the Capitol, SO that
your genial and usually impartial reporter
might have heard both sides without ditti-
Guilty. And my home is only six doors from
that end Of the Capitol. Mr.. Castor him
self admitted yesterday to me that The
Star report lid not even tell his story cor
rectly, for his original interview with me
was not in the ."iobby." but at my office,
and he yesterday declared that did not
claim to have Seen the bottles. but only
qroted q witness that had done SO. He also
admits that he called me no names, such
as .'slanderer." Our interview was quiet
and courteous on both Sides and told him
that as the reference to the bottles was
secondary item in discussion of the Pres
iGent's relation to the eanteens, 1 should
accept his denial Ihad simply quoted a
well-known witness by name as a news
Dc per might do, leaving everybody to esti-
mate the value of the testimony for them
selves.
II this erroneous report had gone no far
ther than Washington I should be content
with your two-line correction the next day,
that l denied having said that 1 saw the
hottles but as the whole article has been
telegraphed to all parts Of the country /
am certainly entitled to a reply full enough
to correct the correspondents, none of
whom took the trouble to even call on me
by phone for my side Of the case, as If to
illustrate the need of Sheldon's newspaper
Some of then, however. shall hope will
be just enough to correct their error, es-
pecially as they have prompted fusiliade
of unjust editorials. which declare I have

all the vile names in their opuient political
vocabulary.

FITZ TO FIGHT M'CoY.
The Match With Sharkey Unexpect-
edIy Called on.

NEW YORK March 21.-Whatever
chance former Champion Bob FitZsimmons
received Of wiping out the stigma of being
defeated by Tom Sharkey at San Francis
co several years ago has dissolved In thln
air, for yesterday "Lanky Bob called his
match with Sharkey off and forthwith made
an offer to fight Kid Mccoy, the latter ac-
cepting This rather unexpected turn OF
affairs came about because Tom Rourke,
on behalf of Sharkey, refused TO entertain
the proposition of Ga per cent made by the
Westchester Athletic Club Monday night.
All this transpired at meeting yesterda!
afternoon at the Delayan Hotel, between
O'Rourke. Al Smith, Fitzsimmons and
Messrs. George Cooke and Martin Julian,
who. it is said, hold the lease of the West
chester Club. But the most important
thing developed outside OF the calling off of
the match, was statement made by
O'Rourke when the conference was over
His remarks were follows:
The story which came from Chicago
some months ago TO the effect that tftZ-
simmons and Julian had fallen out and
parted company was all a bluff They have
always been friends and their scheme was
to get a lot of notoriety and sympathy.
You know that Julian is Fitzsimmons
brother-in-law, and blood is thicker than
water. So after exploiting their troubles
all over the country, Fitzsimmons got
ing 'ad' and Julian laughed under his
coat When Fitzsimmons posted his money
to fight anyone l called him, and then when
he could not get out of it, made match
with Sharkey.
Julian was 'on all the time and got
club which does not exist to put in bid
so that he could run the fight himself for
his brOther-in-law. They thought that they
could make the Coney Island Club go high
er, but they got fooled. Fitzsimmons, Ju-
lian. Cooke, and Sheriff Malloy, of West
chester, had a talk at the Metropole Hotel
before coming to my place. and it was ar
ranged there that Fitz should call off his
match with Sharkey and take on Mccoy.
What do you think OF that?''

that his infantry had retired, and that

He begged Lauenburg to help him to

he was shot in the back. Turning to
Lauenburg he said:
Brother, have enough; seek only to

him.
A desperate struggle still took place
over him. A German page, refusing to
tell the royal rank of his master, was
mortally shot. But Gustavus still had

A poor street organ on the pavements
brown,
A tiny monkey in his tlnseled gown,
And far aloft, in swaying, rhythmic time
Up to the window, where ! sit and sew,
The pulsing waltz-notes swinging to ano
fro,
Like fairy bells ring out their mystic
chime.
And far away, DER fairest land and sea,
On waves Of sound they lift and carry me
To where the jasmine flowers were sweet
one night;
And roses bent, nor llghtest petal stirred.
And stars leant low TO hear whispered
word
That filled the world with loves suprenl-
est light.
Somewhere, somewhere the snowy jasmine
blows,
And in and out, each vagrant, scented rose
Still climbs the lattice at It's own sweet
And stlll the stars may shine on smiling
eyes,
The same old stars, from out the self-same
skies
Though love is old-yet earth has lovers
still.
But evermore shall stars look down in vain
For feet that passed and never came again,
And listen vainly for the music fled;
Though starry jasmine yield its perfume
rare,
And roses nestle close In sunny hair,
My life Is lived, my love of loves is dead.
The haunting music dies adown the street,
The merry children fee with nimble feet,
o., i take my dainty bit of work again;
And trembling hands, once full, now empty
quite,
The teardrops fall like showers of bitter
