DOWN THE RIO GRANDE.

Chicago, May 21.-A special to the Chronicle from El Paso, Texas, says: Representatives of the United States and Mexican boundary commission have just embarked on a voyage down the Rio Grande in three boats, to make observations and more complete sur yey of the river. F. D. Cunningham, chief engineer of the United States commission, is at the head of the ex- pedition. The party proposes to fol- low the course of the river from Fl Paso to the Gulf of Me1ico,g,a distance of nearly 1,300 miles. It will require three months to make the trip and for a distance of 600 miles all communica- ton with the outside world will be cut off The voyage is considered an ex- tremely hazardous one, as i'll many places the river consists of dangerous rapids, and but little is known of it's windings where it trayerses the Grand Canyon.

Worlds Accom-, nrrnr5

 Some people are agrowlin' an a-howlin'
 day an' night An a-rantin' an a-railin' cause the world
 ain't goin' right. They are weepin' OCT its sorrows, an they
 keep its woes in view An they never note the sweetness O. the
 roses drippin' dew. Some people in their f-ettin are forgettin
 blessings rare. They fail to breathe the fragrance that is
 hoatin on the air. They keep the thorn an thistle an the
 nettles aye in view, They pass the blushin' roses in their haste
 to pluck the rue. This world may have it's failin's, but there's
 good enough for all, An we may choose the sweetness or bitter
 ness an gall. An if we seek the shadows. an if we shun
 the light, 'Tis we. an not the world, friends, that ss ain't a-goin' right. --Arthur J. Burdick. in Los Angeles Her.

WlTHTHE WRESTLERS.

4 z f
 The final fall in the wrestling bout for the Graeco- Roman championship of England and 2 side stake of $25O was decided at the Crystal Palace, London, on May 3. The contestants were Tom Cannon, the old time ath- lete, and Antonio Pierri, the '.Terrible Creek" About 5000 persons saw the struggle. The affair, which lasted five nights, began on April %. Cannon won the first bout. Pierri was sue eessful on the following night The third bout, after a contest of one hour, was declared draw. In the fourth bout Cannon was again returned the victor. In the deciding bout the pair set to work at once. Both tried for a neck hold and failed, going to the floor heavily. Once down the men tried every ruse7 to put the other down. Finally Cannon got full half Nelson. He worked hard, but Pierri avoided him and then got on top. When they had battled for six minutes Cannon appeared weak. He recovered. how ever, and won. The next night Can non agreed tosmeet Pierri in consola- ton match. The struggle lasted six teen minutes and Pierri won.
 Fred Afohl, the 'Terrible Iceman,', met Harvey. Parker, the Brockton wrestler, at a BoWery theater last night. Nfohl weighed about forty pounds more than Parker, who at best is only a lightweight. The conditions were that Parker should throw his op- ponent in fifteen minutes or forfeit S2o. The style was catch-as-catch-can Without the least semblance of fid- ding the pair went at each other. Mohl was the aggressor and had Par ker down. The "Iceman' tried hard to turn his man, but failed. Once Mohl got full half Nelson. He had Parker on one shoulder, but the latter wrfggled out of the hold cleverly and then he went after Mohl. He used all his tricks, but Mohl, who was as strong as bull, resisted him successfully. They wrestled off the mat. and finally Parker secured a neck hold and by sheer strength pressed his man to the floor on both shoulders The time of the bout was nine minutes Parker said after the struggle that if Ernest Roeber wants to wrestle him he will be satisfied to let the victor take all the purse and will wager from $500 to $1,000 on the outside
 George Bothner met two men last night at Columbia hall, Mount Yer non, and without much trouble put them on the mat in quick time. The first man that Bothner took on was Joe Arcuri of Mount Vernon The Pas time A. C.2s instructor won in min utes and s seconds. The next man was Ben Thompson, heavyweight of White Plains. It was the best two out of three falls, catch-as-catch-can. Bothner gained the first fall in 1 min ute and 7 seconds and the second in minutes and 1 second.

Rugs from Rage

His majesty's consul for Hiogo and Osaka in a recent report says that the variety of floor covering other than mating made and exported from the Hiogo-Osaka district, Sakai rugs and carpets, cotton hemp and woolen show slight decrease in 1S99-about s71,0oo worth, as against 2 es4,OoO in 1898. The bulk of this article, consist ing of the cheapest grades, was for merly made mostly from old gunny bags from India, but last year this sup ply was nearly stopped altogether, owing to the prevalence of the plague at Bombay, and the manufacturers are now falling back on the canvas wrap pers of American bales of cotton The goods were getting into disrepute in America, so a guild was formed to frame precautions against the inferior trash being produced in future. Lon don now seems to take more than three-fourths of the out-turn. The profits, however, of the industry at Sakai are so small that the capital is being put to other uses.-London Tele- graph.

FIGHTS IN NEW BRITAIN.

New Britain, May 21.-The much ad- yertised bout between Andy Walsh of Brooklyn, and Bill Hanrahan of New York, the former amateur middle weight champion, was decided at the National A. C., here tonight. About 800 persons were present. The affair was scheduled for twenty rounds, at 15S pounds, weigh i'll at 3 o'clock. John Wells of Hartford, was the referee, while Billy Dacey, the old-tiIne light- weight, was announcer. Both Walsh and Hanrahan were in fine condition. Owing to the fact that Walsh made such q good showing against Joe Wal colt and other clever men he was the favorite at to l. Only afew wagers were made, however. The Brooklyn man won in the second round, knock ing Hanrahan out. Hanrahan started by rushing and landed on Walsh's jaw. They then mixed it up hot and heavy, both getting home on the ribs. During a clinch Hanrahan threw Walsh to the floor When they came together again Hanrahan piled blow after blow and Walsh was in trouble at the bell The next round was vicious. Hanrahan sent the right twice to Walsh's jaw and had him groggy. Hanrahan then be- gan to swing wildly and when it looked as though he ould win Andy swung the right hard and put Hanrahan to sleep with a heavy blow on the jaw. The first preliminary was between Kid Wheeler and Kid Gilligan. two local They were to have met for ten rounds at catchweights After fighting ten seconds Wheeler gave Gil ligan his quietus with a right hook on the point of the chin. The next affair, limited to fifteen rounds at 119 pounds was between Austin Rice of New Lon- don and Hughey McPadden of Brook lyn. It was biff-bang contest from the start. It lasted the limit and was called a draw. Both showed signs of the fracas at the finish.

The records as given are compiled from the official scores and are correct They include all the games played up to Saturday night In batting we have five men now on the list who are over the 300 mark In fielding the team has done fairly we'll but there Is room for improvement.

The Japanese are wonderfully cleanly. When they come in from the fields their first attention is to a bath, prepared for them in big tanks near their shanties. They are not particularly modest about suf- ficient attire, and with hardly any thing but towel to conceal their nakedncss they rush for the baths, which they insist must be of warm water. But they are remarkably sus- ceptible to typhoid fever, due chiefly to their own reckless habits. never. saw a Chinanlan in the islands i'll with typhoid. That is because they rarely drink water, always pre- ferring tea, which, of course, is made of boiled water. Especially after the heavy rains the Japanese suffer severely from typhoid. On our the deaths were often as many as four or five week.-Wash- ington Post.

WITH THE WHEELMEN.

Newark, N. J., May 21.-As a result of his visit to the Vailsburg board track Sheriff Virtue has reported to Judge Depue that he sees nothing harmful in the Sunday racing there and that it would be a shame to put a stop to it. It is probable that The chief justice will take no action in the matter. .I believe the races at Vailsburg are a good thing said the sheriff, 'sand told the chief justice so. The crowds are orderly and the policing excellent. The races take out of the center of the city q large crowd of men who might be spending their time i'll a much worse manner" "The sheriff has been telling me of his ex- perience at the races' said Chief Jus tice Depue to-day, .and an amusing tale it was. I haven't made up my mind yet what to do.''

Lajoie and Seybold have each made at least one safe hit in all except one game this season.
 Clancy will do the twirling down in Derby this afternoon, and if he gets good support the local players should make it very interesting for the Derby ties.
 Dolan, the second baseman, released by the Philadelphia Nationals, has joined Mack'S American league team. He will play short and Lajoie will go back to second base.
 After having played with top notch CTS most of the time the sensation of lowering around the tail end constant ly must be to Hugh Duffy as strange as it is disagreeable.
 Since the Lajoie decision by the Philadelphia courts the impression prevails more than ever that an agree ment between the rival leagues is the only solution of the contract question.
 Waller, the new man retained as pitcher by the local management, shows up well in the practice at the Athletic field. If he can control the ball Manager Connor believes that he will be a good man.
 Hallman has braced up the Phila- delphias not little since he rejoined them. Hallman's seems to be par allel case with that of Tom Daly, once relegated to the ''has been'' class, but who caught his second wind and played the best ball of his career after being considered a back number.
 The state papers still continue to have fun at the expense of the Water bury team but there are better times coming and it may come to pass that the compliments can be returned. When we strike the right combination we will make it very interesting for some of the teams.
 An item in the Sunday Times read that Manager John Smith had prohib- ited the playing of Conroy. 1t should have been protested, of course, and it may be added that the protest will amount to nothing.-Portland Press. If Jerry Denny gets after him, the protest will amount to something.
 Manager Connor is trying to make a deal with Manager Canayan for Gu sick, who has been suspended by the New Haven manager. Frank Fitzpat- rick of this city is anxious to get back in the game again and he would like to play in New Haven, so it is said Manager Connor would like to trade Fitzpatrick for Cusick.
 As result of last Fridays game at the Polo grounds when Davis, War ner and Taylor of the New Works were put out of the game by Umpire Nash for kicking. Nash has been protested by the New York club. The New York officials say they did not protest the umpire for removing the players, but gave as reason that Nash is incom- potent.
 Manager O'Rourke has released Jim- my GibIin and Howell. The manager hated to part with Jimmy, for the lft- tie fellow had been with him for six seasons. But Jimmy was clearly out of it. He will'n be able to play for at least six weeks, for one of the liga- ments of his right arm has been injur- ed. The trouble was discovered with the aid of the X-ray and the doctor told Jimmy he must Bridgeport Tele- gram.
 Denny Reardon will not pitch any more professional base ball, at least not this season. He sent letter to Roger Connor which was received to- day in which he states that he is sorry

WINDOW DRAPERIES.

Half the charm of room depends upon the arrangement of it's draperies.
 Linen or silk shades, tinted to suit the furnishings of the room, are put up over the windows, and then the cur tains are gathered on the rods and draped obliquely from one side of each window to the other. Simplicity pre- vails in their arrangement.
 The most satisfactory curtains in houses occupied by persons of mod crate means are those of fine white bobbinet, as they launder we'll, drape gracefully and wear long time. The straight, looped curtains are seldom seen i'll these days of artistic origi- nality..

THE WOMAN OF FASHION.

Trises and mauve orchids will be in fashion for headgear.
 Feather trimming, it is said, will be used in abundance.
 Both for Gay and evening wear every shade of pink will shortly be in demand-
 Coarse tomato-red linen is being widely used for summer toilets just now.
 The latest sleeve links are decidedly novel in their line, and one needs at least one pair to match each shirt waist. The fiat, round buttons of medium size are crocheted of silk or linea, and they come in all the fash ,onable coiors.

s'Next to the joy afforded by the first patch on the seat of the first pair of trousers, when you're kid, there is nothing that tickles more then the possessor of your first share of stock ; said the heavy investor, who was rem iniscent. Ut doesn't make any differ ence what the stock is-whether it's at par or within thousand miles of it, so long as it is real stock with it's name and quotations printed in the newspa- pers. don't know but what the fun of watching the first stock go up and down beats the first pair of brooches It's certainly ahead of the first cigar.'' :

MOTHERS AND THEIR BABES.

 In Spain the infants face is swept with pine tree bough to bring it good luck.
 Ethonian mothers attach bits of the evil-smelling asafetida to the necks of their offspring.
 Roumanian mothers tie red ribbons around the ankles of their children to keep them from harm.
 Among Vosges peasants children born. at new moon are supposed to have. a sharper tongue than those born under the last quarter.
 Welsh mothers, tosinsure the safety of their babies, put a pair of tongs or knife in the cradle. In some parts Of England the same practice prevails.
