No Use to Farmers.

closed for the winter and should be for all
time 1t is claimed the stations and observ-
ers have been of great value to farmers and
grain dealers. If so we fail to see whore or
how, as the predictions nine times out Of ten
were incorrect, and they certainly did not
save the potato crop and brought through
not over half a corn crop. 1t Is true wheat
did get through, despite the dry time and hot
spell, but it would cork the best farmer liv-

contractors made the building, and Mime

marble was brought to that city in the rough

that city wants the granite for the steps and

rest of the state should not kick, as St.
Paul kindly permits 1t to pay the bills.

recently with the Frederic company, dealers
in precious stones at 905 Broadway. The
subject of the correspondence has been some
pearls which the duke bought at the store
and presented to the duchess.
The couple came to New York soon afteI
their marriage. One of the members of the
firm said to-day that the duke went to the
store and after looking at some stones said
he wanted some sent to the hotel for his
wife to see. The stones which are said to
have been pearls, were sent to the hotel and
the duchess picked some out. The dealer
says he told the duke that the bill would be
5000, and that the duke said he would send
his check, but he did not.
Mr. Brill lawyer for the firm, would say

Lanky BOb's Joke at Tom Shark
ey's Expense.
FitZsimm0ns Promised TO Sign
to Meet the Sailor.
COST THE CHAMPAGNE.
Australian Claimed He Really
Meant Business.
We're to Meet Monday and Sign
the Contract.

New York, Oct. 16-Tom Sharkey
and his manager, Barney Reich, were
a happy pair last night and were con-
graduating themselves upon the fact
that Fitzsimmons had promised to re-
enter the ring and give the sailor a re-
turn match in the near future.
Ever since Sharkey was knocked out
by Fitzsimmons at Coney Island he has
been after another go with the former
champion, and his manager has gone so
far as to offer the Antipodean $1,000 ii
he would come forward and sign ar
ticleS for another battle. Yesterday
FitZSimmOnS was in jovial humor,
and ne decided to play a good joke on
Sharkey and his spokesman, and the
joke worked to perfection FItzSlm
mons came up from his Bath Beach
home early in the afternoon, and after
visiting a few friends uptown dropped
into SharkeyS emporium on Fourteenth
street. Sharkey and Reich shook hands
cordially with the formers conquer or.
F'itzsimmons side-stepped a few re-
marks and then asked Mr.. Reich if it
was true that he had offered $1,000 if
he (Fitzsinmons) would sign al ticles.
Reich was for moment du1nfounded,
but after a little hesitation he ad
mitted that it was a fact that such an
offer was made by him.
WELL said FitzSimmonS to the as
constituent of his hearers, Il am here
articles for a fight Name your condl-
tions''
After Reich had recovered from the
shock he looked over the table for some
encoura cement from his protege, but
the sailor who sat opposite, simply
nodded his approval. Then FitzSim-
mons followed with another lead, in
curing about the side bet, and his
proposition to Reich was that the win
ner was to take all, and in addition
there was to be a side wager of $1,000
and 81, 500 deposited as a forfeit, when
the articles were signed. Mr.. Reich
was very much in doubt as to the
course to pursue and tried to get
Sharkey's version of the matter, but
Fitzsimmons insisted upon transacting
business with Reich, and the latter
finally said that the conditions would
be satisfactory and inquired when the
articles would be signed
Il will meet you on Monday after
noon when all the details must be
closed and forfeits posted" responded
the former heavyweight champion
How about the referee?" chimed in
Sharkey.
''Oh. you can have your choice about
this said Fitzsimmons.
I'VE will have Charley White" was
Reich's reply.
F'itzsinmons said White would be
satisfactory to him, and Reich, believ
ing that Sharkey was to get another
chance to gain fame and money, Or
dered wine for all his friends. After
the meeting Fitzsmmons related the
idea of his fighting Sharkey and said
that he had played a great joke on
Reich and Sharkey and thought it was
the best sport he had ever had. Reich
is delighted at the prospects of a match
for his man with F'itzsimmons and
Sharkey is looking forward to a severe
course of training to prepare him for
an attack on the honest blacksmith"
