Leo Pardello, the clever middle weight wrestler, says that he is prepar- ed to accept the def of FitZsimmons and is ready to meet the former pugllls- tic champion at Madison Square gar den at any time the Cornishman sees fit to take him on. Pardello Is willing to make the affair a handicap, that is he will undertake to throw Bob twice in one hour.

That style would suite me better than catch-as- -catch-can, as only acquired the knack of wrestling under the lat ter conditions of 1ate.'' Pardello fur ther said that he will post a forfeit with Al Smith any time to complete arrangements for match. Tom Jen- kins, the noted catch-as-catch-can wres- tier, also wants to try his skill against Fitzsimmo1ls. Jenkins is eager to face Bob on the same terms which charac- terized his meeting with Tom Sharkey at Cleveland, whom he defeated so handily on Tuesday night. Jenkins will agree, according to his manager, George Tuohey, to throw sLanky Bob" twice infohe,hour.

Ernest Roeber, the Tetton, but he has shown no inclination to give Parker trial Roeber, it is under stood, is contemplating a trip to Paris, this summer. He has received assur- ance of a match with Paul Pons, he says, and adds that the contest will be held within month. Jack CarkeelS, the American wrestler, who holds the catch-as-c -catch-can championship of England established record in that country recently by throwing twenty men in one week. Carkeek fulfilled two engagements in a night at two mu- sic halls at London and met on an aver age three men, a, night. Most of Car skeek's rivals put up a stirring defence and gave the champion q hard tussel. One rival stayed eleven minutes, and Carkeek's quickest victory was in four minutes. Despite this task he was in good condition at the end. Carkeek's performance is all the more remarkable because he paid his opponents by the minute. Carkeek says that he may yis- it America next fall.

DOLLARS IN ODD SHAPES.
Process Through Which the Silver Is Put Before It Becomes
 Coin.

Under the law, a silver dollar may be a grain and half over weight, and this 'sliInit of tolerance applies to all of our silver coins. In other words, they are not allowed to vary more than that much from standard. In the case of gold pieces, the limit is half a grain either way, up to the eagle; variation of as much as one grain being permis- sible in the $1o and $20 pieces, says the Saturday Evening Post.
 Whenever fresh batch of dollars is turned out at the mint, samples are forwarded to the treasury at Washing ton, where they are put through very curious process. Each dollar is first weighed on exquisitely delicate scales, to make sure that it is heavy enough, and yet not too heavy. Then it passes between two steelrollers again and again, until it is fattened out and transformed into thin strip of sii- vera sort of ribbon-a foot and a half in length. Then it is put beneath a little machine provided with several small punches, by which hundreds of tiny disks are punched out of the metal strip.
 Now, the object of this performance is to obtain samples of metal from all parts of the dollar, inasmuch as it is conceivable that one portion might be richer in silver than another. The little disks are shuffled together, and a few of them, taken at random from the Lot, are subjectedto an assay. Thus the fineness of the material of the dol T ] s $ n curacy, and, the weight having been already determined, the value and cor rectness of that coin are perfectly known.
 The sample pieces having been found correct, it is inferred that the entire batch of dollars is all right.

W RlGla 6 POOR k,s]
 ELlLDlGl5 -

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young, rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- lutely sure remedy for all itch- ing diseases of the skin.

Tn proof of 1t we tell what those who have used 1t say.
 MT. Patrick Nolan, of No. 1c8 Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn. says: "To any one troubled with any form of ir- ritation of the skin, I can with confidence recommend Doan's Ointment. I was for a long time bothered with a persistent irritation on my body, and none of the many preparations and ointments I used did me any good until I procured Doan's Ointment at a Drug Store and applied 1t. It was so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that I felt relief from the first, and improved steadily. It is the best remedy for ir- ritation of the skin there is on the market.
 Just such emphatic endorse ment can be had right here in Waterbury. Drop into Lakes drug store and ask what his customers report.

Frank Refs ling was in the box for the Bristol team and he allowed the alleged team in Hartford but four hits. He would have shut them out without run were it not for an error made by Francis. Gray pitched six innings for Hartford and Schuman did the wind up. The Hartford team was simply outelassed, and 1t is a<swonder that they are all lowed to remainfn, the Eastern league.
