TWIN TO HORTON BILL.
Politicians Promise to Secure New
Fight Law for New York State.

New York Sept. lit is almost GER
tain that boxing will be resumed in this
state after January 1, 1901. 1t is learned
from a very reliable source that a bill
somewhat similar to the Horton law is
to be one of the first measures intro
duced in the legislature. 1t is said it
will surely pass both houses
Senator Tim Sullivan. who was re-
sponsible for the Horton law, it is said.
will frame the new bill and will work
to secure it's passage Senator Sullivan
could not be found tonight, but a very
close friend of his gave out the following
information in connection with the bill:
1T is true a new boxing bill is to be
introduced. The public wants boxing
and as Senator Sullivan is well aware
of that fact he intends to push the bill
for all it is worth He is confident of
getting it through both houses and sign
ed by the governor.
I'VE would have had boxing in this
state yet had it not been for Senator
Cogeshall, who, after promising to vote
against the Lewis bill, deliberately
changed his mind at the last moment
and by voting for it was responsible for
the death of boxing"

Emporia, Sept. From reliable in

Davis, the absconding cashier of the de-
funct Cross bank, is in the southern part
of Old Mexico doing clerical work for a

Whether his offense is extraditab1e is
a. question. The investigation of the

did not profit solitary cent by the fail
ure- He was simply used as tool by
the dead ex-banker. TIE only way he got
money out of the bank to which he was
not entitled was by overdrafts, and he
paid them all up before he disappeared

A MILLIONAIRE BULL FIGHTER
The Reported Retirement of Guerritta
 from the Ring

The news reached this country recently that a certain well known bull fighter in Spain, named Guerritta, who for the last ten or fifteen years had reigned supreme among Spanish matadors, had withdrawn from further participation in the corrida, and content with the many laurels which he had already won, had severed the knot. both literally and fguratively, by under going the ceremony of being shorn of his cue, and appendage which every bull fight CT Is obliged to wear so long as he re- mains in the profession.
 To the average foreigner the matter of one bull fight more or less in Spain will appear of little interest. To the Spaniard, however, who looks upon the bull fight not only as the highest conceivable exhibition of manly courage but as a national sport, which for centuries has surpassed all other events in importance, Guerrittas re- tirement means as much, perhaps more, than the sudden abdication of the presi- dent of the United States would mean to most Americans. It is hardly an exag-

geration to say that Guerritta is today the most popular individual in all Spain. This may appear to be an extreme state ment, but the crowds which thronged to the station when he arrived in city on the eve of a bull fight in which he was to take , part, and accompanied him to his hotel amid shouts of wild enthusiasm, and af- terward appeared in the plaza di toros to watch in spellbound admiration his won derful feats of courage and skill, left no doubts in the mind of the writer, who vis- ited Spain last year, of the enthusiasm and veneration with which this man is regard ed by his fellow countrymen. The facts here stated were for the most part secured from the man himself.
 Guerritta was born in Cordova about forty years ago. His real name is Guerra, but the Spaniards have always called him by the diminutiVe term G.. rritta, signify ing little Guerra" thoue ahe is by no means small man, standing about five feet ten, and of superbly athletic build, Before becoming a matador, which is the highest position q bull fighter may aspire to, it is necessary to pass through a long apprenticeship, first as bandillaro, and afterwards picador
 The period generally required to reach the position of matador is eight or ten years. In Guerritta's case however two or three years sufficed. It was but a short time before he became the recognized king Of matadors and was able to command the highest reward for his services received by any bull fighter in Spain The salaries which the Spaniards pay to their best bull fighters are surprisingly large.
 uerritta during the last few years has Hked and received for each bull fight in T1hich he has taken part five thousand Spanish dollars. This, of course pays for his troupe, but as the picadors are not paid more than $250, and the bandileros receive only $25 each, the bulk of it goes to the matador himself. When one con- siders the tremendous demand for the ser vices of good matadors-Guerritta aver ager more than one hundred bull fights a year-it is not difficult to understand why this sport, aside from it's own attractions lures so many into the field. It is only the few, however who meet with any degree of success
 Guerrtta is said to be one of the wealth. jest men in Spain large portion of the real estate in Cordova his native city, be- longs to him in his own right In addition to this he owns several magnificent coun- try estates, and when enjoying leisure lives in the greatest luxury. All of this he has made in his profession. On appearing in the arena he presented unusually strik- ing appearance. His figure is athletic and supple, and commands admiration; his face, which is no less striking, and in its way extremely handsome, is, nevertheless, somewhat brutal in character, but the kind that one does not easily forget.

Bisuue Ice Cream

Creams and ices made at home are sell dom a success, for the reason-and it is necessary to state it mphatically-that there the art is not understood. Yet these delicacies are wonderfully cheap if made at home. Bought, they are a rather ex- pensive luxury to all who have not es- pecially well-illed pocketbooks.
 Bisque is ordinarily regarded as very difficult, but in reality it is not. The macaroons and sponge cake that make up the bisque (the sponge cake should be stale) should be stirred in pulverized after the cream is frozen. The compound should stand for two hours afterward. Three ounces of sponge cake should be used, with a quart of milk and a pint of cream. Make a custard of the milk, thickened with cornstarch and favored just as is done for plain cream.
