lated above. All of this consumed a very
short time.
AS Mr. Brown left the News and Obser-

met the editor of the Post, going toward
the office of that paper The editor asked
if Miller's addition 10 the letter had been
furnished to the News and Observer. He
was told i had been.
How did he know anything about the
amendment made by Miller? Had he seen
Miller? Certainly he had not seen the
chairman or clerk Of the board and the
whole transaction had taken but a short
time.
Next day the two papers appeared. One
with the Miller amendment and one with
out. Miller called at the Commission Of
fee and inquired whether his contribution
to the letter had been furnished the News
and Observer as he had asked. He was
told il had been.
No other representative of the Post
made any inquiry concerning the matter,
but yesterday that subsidized imprint
rose On its launches and for a column
and a half wrote at the top Of its voice,
reminding its many readers" that the
Post complied with the request [of Mr..

advised use of Paines celery com
pound. AS a great leader and writer
in Boston publicly declared one day,
Paines celery compound had proven
itself to be as much better than all
the ordinary nervines, sarsaparillas,
and trade preparations as the diamond
is brighter than ordinary glass.
From thousands of grateful persons
unsolicited testimonials began to pour
in from those whom Paine's celery
compound had benefited. The wealthy
and the poor, the famous and the COM
,paratively unknown, sent TO the pro-
prietors of the remedy, to the news
papers, to their physicians, to their
friends. the glad news that here at last
they found a remedy that made them
themselves again!
And the foolish fellows with their
silly nostrums, starting up here and
there every year, discovered as often
as they tried it that, when a person
health is at stake, he or she will not
be imposed upon. Paine's celery COM
pound was in greater demand last year
than the year before; the demand this
spring is greater than for all the So.
called spring remedies combined. Peo-
pie insist upon having the one remedy
that does them good, makes them
strong, repairs their shattered strength.
They call for Paine's celery compound!

Patrons of the Opera House will re-
member the engagement of the Daniel
r. Ryan Company at that theater last
season. Popular priced repertoire pro-
auctions were novelty, and the at
tendance at the first few performances
was light, but merit won as it always
does. From the beginning to the close
of the week the Standing room only"
sign was used for nearly every per-
Torrance. Mr. Ryan is a sterling and
versatile actor, and he has surrounded
himself with company which is even
stronger this year than last season.
His repertoire embraces plays which
are not attempted by other organiza-
tons, and his productions have re-
ceived the unmistakable stamp Of pub
lie approval. The Three Musketeers"
and '1ngomar' are performances by
the Ryan company which Opera House
patrons will recall with pleasure. Mr..
Ryan appears to have made an effort
to solve the problem of giving dollar
productions at half and third that
price, and he has done it through week
stands, thereby economizing in rail
road, hotel and incidental expenses.

Paines celery compound is the most

1t makes people well. 1t is the one

diseases arising from debilitated

his profession positive cure for sleep

rheumatism. all nervous diseases and
kidney troubles. For all such com
plants Paines celery compound has
succeeded again and again where

No sooner was it announced that a

Paine's celery compound as the most

Jeffries and Rubin VIII Certainly
Do Battle I'm Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, o., January 1.-THE
directors of the sSaengerfest Athletic
Association of Cincinnati, express the
fullest determination tonight that the
Jeffries-Ruhlin fight will be pulled off
here February IS. but the preponder-
ance of public sentiment is to the con-
trary.
While the ministers held an enthusi-
astic meeting to-day and the woman's
clubs and other organizations oppos-
ing the fight, were unusually active,
yet the contest Is row between Mayor
Fleischmann and the Saengerfest Ath-
letic Association After repeated con-
ferences with their attorneys, these
two elements finally met. The direc-
tors gave out the following tonight
THE members of the Saengerfest
Athletic Association Company to-day
requested of Mayor Fleischmann the
immediate issuance of permit. The
mayor declined to issue the permit
now, but reaffirmed his promise and
assured the committee that he would
issue the permit two days before the
date of the proposed contest. The di-
rectors yet hold that the contest can
and will take place in Cincinnati on
February 18th"
Since Mayor Fleischmann has been
legally advised that the fight for the
championship does not come within
the intention OF the Ohio statutes for
sparring exhibitions under the auspices
Of OF H.
derstood that the only kind of per-
nit that he would give, even two
days in advance of the date would be
one that would come under the Ohio
law and allow the directors to take the
chances in proceeding under that per-
init.
Ip addition to the conferences to-day
between counsel there was an informal
meeting of the members of the bar and
an opinion was sent to Mayor Fleisch-
man, signed by twelve leading attorneys,
including Judge Judson Harmon, who
was attorney general of the United States
under the Cleveland administration, and
other ex-judges, and notably Hon. John
w. Warrington, formerly one of the most
noted corporation counsels. This opinion
holds that for the past twelve years, the
laws of Ohio have been very severe
against prize fights, the only exception
being for sparring exhibitions under the
auspices of bona fide athletic clubs. These
attorneys hold that a contest for the
championship of the world would not be
held by any court to be a sparring exhibit
ton, and it further points out that the
Saengerfest Athletic club was incorpor-
at aft ha nf S'aT
signed by Jeffries and Rubin
Notwithstanding all of the distractions
which confront them the directors of the
Saengerfest Athletic club still insist to-
night that they will hold the fight, and
the work is still proceeding at Saenger-
fest hall
