VIII BE Received hy Secretary Hay ~
Private Individuals.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-It can be
stated that the persons composing the
Boer delegation, who are about to sail
from Europe for the United States this
week, will not be denied access to the
secretary of state when in Washington.
They will be received as individuals,
just as was Mr.. Montagu White, but
with the distinct understanding that
they are not recognized officially as n
Boer delegation. Otherwise Secretary
Hay will treat them as he would treat
any other distinguished visitors from
abroad without regard to nationality,
but will not admit their competency to
enter into any other negotiations with
the state department It's believed the
prospective visitors thoroughly under
stand the conditions under which they
will be received and that instead of di-
recting their efforts upon the govern
ment in Washington they will rather
seek to influence it through the Ameri-
can people by means of an active Boer
propaganda.

WILL RETURN TO RING.

Toronto. Ont, Nov. 2S.--Robert Fitz-
simmons. the actor pugillst, who Is
touring Canada announces that he will
reconsideration his determination to
retire from the ring. "Fitz" says that
at the end of his present theatrical sea-
son he will give some of his present
challengers an opportunity to measure
skill with him within the roped circle.
This announcement will come as a
great surprise. for since his decisive
defeats of Rulin and Sharkey and
Jeffries' refusal to meet him within q
week after the latter battle, 'Lanky
Bob" had declared his intention OF
quitting the game for good He assert
ed that advancing age must sometime
tell and that since Jeffries, the only
man who ever defeated him, would no
fc mt, there was M sense in his risking
defeat again to accommodate some am
bilious fighter. AS soon as "Fitz" an
nounced his retirement he was bounded
by challenges. the most persistent OF
which were from Champion Jeffries.
Therefore it is probable "Fitz" will
take on the champion, and Cincinnati
may be the scene of the battle.
Fitzsimmons relates an interesting
story concerning Champion Jeffries'
latest challenge to him. He declares
that Manager Brady approached him
with the suggestion that the match he
made for advertising purposes alone
1t was to be dropped when the theatre
cal season closed. "Fitz' says he re-.
fused to have anything to do with
such a scheme.

GROCBRS MEET.
Delegates Chosen For the State
Convention at Springfield,
December 5 and 6.

At meeting of the local grocers' as
ISOLATION Tuesday night. the members
accepted the drafted ordinance receiy-
ed from the city solicitor with reference
to the city sealer. The ordinance has
been in course of preparation for a
considerable time. 1t met with the ap-
proval of the grocers and they will
recommend its passage by the city
council.
Since the city sealer has been IN
office, his salary consisted of deduc-
tion of half the fees which he received
for testing scales in this city. During
the past summer a test case was had
between the grocers and the sealer
resulting in a decision favoring the
grocers. This decision resulted in the
drafting of the ordinance, and IL 1t Is
passed the city sealer hereafter will
receive a regular salary instead of G.
deduction of fees, and the salary, as
with other city officials, will be taken
from taxes. paid generally. This action
Is a matter of much qualification to the
grocers. Some of them have been pay
Ing considerable money. each year for
scale testing and sealing, and the
ordinance will dispense with this out
lay and levy the fees proportionately
upon all grocers. -
The local association became a mem
Der of the state association about a
year ago. For the first time In its
history they will be represented at the
Grocers' state association, the annual
meeting, December and 6, at Spring

Matters of unusual interest will be
