REGARDING THE CORONATION.
An Advertising Expert Tells Some thing About the Effects of ths
 Great Event.

 The coronation of Edward is one of the greatest subjects for adver- tising at the present time. There are few trades or manufacturers that are not going to be benefited by it. For months to come the goods to be used, the jewelry to be worn, the colors to be fashionable, and the shapes of shoes and hats that will take their complexion from the coro- nation event, will be the subject of discussion and description through out the world, says the National Ad- vertiser.
 Go to any steamship office to-day in this city and you will find that even at this early date staterooms, cabins and choice places are being spoken for the early summer and coming royal event. Speak to any of the prominent society people, and all their arrangements are made with due regard to the great fashionable display of the coming year. And when the pageant is over there will be more coronation gloves, corona tion scarfs, coronation collars, coro- nation hats, coronation everything in fact, from souvenirs of the me- mento order to good article of the kings own whisky, than can be fig ured on just now. That is why the coronation of Edward is going to be a good thing in it's way, apart from it's royal import.

wALcoTTs FuNNY STORY.

Joe Walcott, who has been mourning over the fact lately that he could find nobody to meet him, can have battle with Al Weinig. the cyclist-boxer. if he cares to take the latter on. Weinig is the man who made big Jim Jeffords quit in Philadelphia the other night in one of the roughest affairs ever seen in that city. Weinig occupies unique position in the pugilistic world He is a college graduate, has wealthy par ents, is his own manager and always carries a wad of money with which to back himself. He is in the fighting game more because he is enamored of the sport than for any other reason. He not only wants to fight Walcott, but is after Jack Root, Marvin Hart and Joe Choynski. 'I will not only fight Walcott," said Weinig recently, "but I will also put up $1O00 of my own money against S2,000 that I can beat him. will go any kind of q route with him. All ask is that the fight be under straight Queensberry rules" If Weinig should meet Wal colt and should attempt to use the foul tactics which he displayed in his re- cent go with Jeffords. there may be q hot old time, for Walcott. when it comes down to rough house tactics,

ABOUT ARTIFICIAL ICE.
The Principle Upon Which This Great Commodity Is Manu-
 factured.

The principle upon which the manu- facture of ice is based is that gas, when compressed, gathers heat enor- mously, and if robbed of this heat and allowed to escape at a future time, it seeks to regain it's heat by withdraw- ing heat from it's surroundings. Am monia gas is generally preferred to others, because it can be liquifed with comparatively little pressure. On removing the water from common ammonia by distillation, anhydrous ammonia is obtained. This is com pressed by a combined steam pump and compressor, and the resulting hquefaction induces heat, which is economized by circulating water about the vessel or pipe containing the liqui- fled ammonia. Thus the ammonia is cooled and the heat largely trans ferred to the water, which is then pumped back to the boiler that sup plies the steam pump. The liquid ann monia is then carried in a pipe to ex- pansion coils that afford plenty of room for it's evaporation, when it be- gins to return to the gaseous form and to draw heat from its surround ings-which gradually reduces the temperature. Proper vessels of wa ter are placed in contact with the ex- pansion coils and in due time ice is formed.

JOHN L.. ACTOR.

John l.. Sullivan is again an actor. The big fellow is with an Uncle Toms Cabin'' troupe and says that he is making money. Somebody asked John not long ago to give his views upon the pugilistic situation as it ap- pears to him. Tt makes me sick growled the former heavyweight champion, as he cooked his hat over his right eye and puffed away at the inevitable cigar. ''Al1 the big fellows are looking for soft snaps. They are bluffing and blowing about what they will do when they get into the ring. and then when there's a chance for a real mill they take it on the run. If had my way I'd put the whole lot of 'em on a ship. send it out to sea and sink it. There'd be a lot of bubbles as the gang went down. could whip the whole lot of em in my best days, but as I can't fight any more now I wish to say that as an actor I've got 'em all skinned to death. Why. when I let out a roar on the stage they have to take the heroine in back of the scenery and give her smellin' salts. That shows how effective my delivery is. Some day I'm goin' to play Hamlet" {" roars that will show the weak-kneed guys in this business how 3 good actor can do the trick. It's the voice. I tell yer and that's all there is to 1t. Me shape ain't just what the matinee girls get stuck on. but the roars hold them spellbound. See?'

wErNIG BEATs oREEpoN.

Hot Springs, Ark, Jan 23.-After putting up. the haEdest kind of fight. Dan Creedon succumbed in the ninth round to the short arm jabs admin istered to him by Al Weinig last night, and Benny Murphy. Creedon's trainer and second, threw the sponge into the ring to save Creedon from being put to sleep. The fight was held under the auspices of the Vapor City club in the opera house and a large crowd wit messed the fight. Both men were in good condition, and this was especially noted of Creedon. who had trained hard for the fight. The first five rounds were all in his favor and he landed some awful punches on the Buffalo boys head and face. On one or two occasions it seemed he would put Wienig out. but the ex-bicycle rider was always ready to mix it up. and with his long reach invariably reached Creedon's ribs and stomach when they were clinched. Creedon and his seconds continually claimed Weinig was holding him and would not let go, and in the seventh round both men committed several fouls.

A STAGE TRAGEDY RECALLED.
Reasons That ImDelIed the Sad s.ui- eide of Walter Montgomery
 Many Years Ago.

Clement Scott, the dramatic critic, is in reminiscent mood in the Free Lance-more than 30 years after the event throws light on an old and mysterious tragedy of the stage, says the Chicago Record-Herald.
 Tn September, 1871, London was startled to hear that sWalter Mont gomery had committed suicide two days after his marriage at St. Georges, Hanover square, on August 30, 1871. The act was incomprehen- sible to all Montgomery's friends. It has now been explained. It appears that when Walter Montgomery was starring in Australia he fell in love with charming girl, who was an heiress. He proposed to her, was ac- cepted, but the marriage was strong ly objected to by the father of the fancee.
 The actor, piqued, disappointed and apparently heart-broken, sailed from Australia to England. On board shiE he was fascinated by another lady and he married her directly the shiI arrived at home.
 \ few hours after the marriage Walter Montgomery received let ter from the father of the Australian girl, saying that he had relented that his daughter was dying of 3 broken heart, and that he was to hur ry back to Australia to claim his bride and her fortune.
 1 Remorse, disappointment, despair affected the handsome actors brain and he rushed up to his room ane put bullet through his temple.

NOT SIGNALS FROM MARS.
Lights Observed in December, 1900 Attributed to illuminated
 Clouds,

While far removed from the popu- lar notion of signal lights from Mars the explanation of the phenomenon on that planet observed at the Lowell observatory in December year ago, as made by Prof. Perciyal Lowell be- fore the Philosophical society, was little less interesting.
 By analogous reasoning he showed that the projections were alto- gether dissimilar to projections which may be observed on the moon when that body is less than full and which, he said, are caused by the sunlight Illuminating the peaks of mountains or edges of craters, for the reason that the projections on Mars as observed on December and 8, 1900, appeared at different places on the heat equator of that planet, travelled with great rapidity in the same northwesterly direction, rose to a maximum height of about 4-10 miles above the surface and disap- peared. The phenomenon, he said, was undoubtedly caused by the rap i'd generation of clouds at great height, which were successfully il- luminated by the rays of the sun as it was setting on Mars.
 In the discussion on the subject, says the Philadelphia4 Ledger, Prof. Snyder, of the Philadelphia observa- tory, stated that the Russian astron- omer, Gogovsky, in, an article recent ly published reviewing the physical conditions under which planetary at mosphere may exist, markedly con- firms not only the observation but the explanation of the Martian phe- no1nenon offered by Prof. Lowell.

Ropes of Humnn Hair.

The young fellows who make their living by gathering the eggs of sea fowl on the rocky island of St. Kilda. one of the Hebrides, consider them selves rich if they are possessed of a rope made of hair from the head of the girl they love. They use these ropes in swinging from the precipitous cliffs of the island. They vary in length, one of 40 or 50 feet being spe- cially prized. The usual kind is stout hempen cord, wrapped round and round with sheep's wool. Over this is coating of horse hair and finally one of human hair. To manufacture such rope is the work of years, but the St. Kilda girl saves her combings religiously. A curio collector who wanted to buy one of these ropes of fered $125 for it, but the offer was refused. The cord in question was covered with a veneer of red hair, the result of 30 years collection from the heads of parents, aunts and cousinso-- Detroit Free Press. N

WITH THE wREsTLERs.
Kelly and Swanson Firing Some Hot
 Shot

Shot.
 One week more before John B. Kelly and Alex Swanson face each other on the mat at the Auditorium in this city. One week more and all the. people who delight in the wrestling game will witness one of the best lightweight contests that has ever been held in New England. There is whole lot attached to the meeting be tween those two men. The winner will in all probability be matched to meet George Bothner of New York, the match to take place here, if Kelly wins, and in New York should Swan son prove the winner. Should the To- cal man prove to be the better man he will be backed for $250 by local syndicate to face George Bothner. Should Swanson defeat Kelly, Billy Lee, his manager, will back him against Bothner for any amount of money Kelly has everything to gain by winning this match, for if he loses he might just as well pull up shop and quit the wrestling game. Swanson too, must get out of the race if Kelly defeats him, for he will not find smooth sailing as defeated wrestler. Both men realize the above facts and both are training hard for the match. Kelly is in good trim to-day to meet his man and he is just as anxious to have the night of the meeting get here as are his friends, who are willing to back him. Kelly will make the battle of his life for this match He wants to get, into New York and meet some of the world beaters down there, and he feels that if he can put Swanson down he will make an entering wedge I into the New York field of wrestlers. Swanson is working quietly and sys- tematically ill some part of New York. He has concealed from every one but his manager just where he is, and he | has with him one of the best light weight Wrestlers in the country. He l laughs at the idea of Kelly throwing him and says that he will be the big | gest surprise that Kelly ever went up against. Swanson is so confident that 1 he will win that he has made prepa- rations for q tour after the match is over. He has the weight he was look | ing for, and when he was in Water bury arranging for the match he weighed but 150 pounds. He has but to take off eight pounds, and that is very easy for him. With So much con. fidence on each side it does seem as if there was going to be q pretty warm time down at the Auditorium on next Thursday evening.

Dunn writes from Buffalo where Fleming, the Butcher Boy,'' is meeting all corners this week, that ht will be in New York on Monday, ant will be pleased to meet George Tuohey manager for Charles Wittmer, or Nor beck and his manager.
