With u ragged, dirty, wide eyed

A year-a nightmare of sweat

rabbits daughter. It was q mole
aspiring to g butterfly. But the
mole was a Jew.
Rosie knew nothing of bis love,
or, IL she guessed at it, scOrned 1t

that g butterfly should scorn q

FITZSIMMONS QUEERS FIGHT.

Positively Refuses to Meet Jeffries
in Los Angeles or Anywhere Else
in California.
New York, April 9.-Rooert Fitzsim-
mons to-day refused positively to fight
James j. Jeffries in Los Angeles, San
Francisco or anywhere else in Cali
fornia. In consequence, the big fight
is virtually off. because it is impossi-
BILE to have it anywhere in the East or
the South.
Jim Kennedy to-day received a dis
patch from Alex Greggains, manager
of the San Francisco Athletic Club,
authorizing Kennedy to submit to Fitz-
simmons the following offer. which has
already been accepted by Billy De-
laney in behalf of Jeffries:
The men to fight for 20 per cent. of
the gross receipts the club to deposit
$1,000 as a guarantee to pull off the
fight. and put up a bond of $4,000 to
secure the winner his share of the
purse.
Kennedy at once submitted the San
Francisco clubs offer to Fitzsimmons,
who refused absolutely to consider it,
saying:
Il will not fight Jeffries in Califor-
mia. l will fight him in the East or
nowhere"

SOCIALISTS MOB LEOPOLD.

His Majesty Assaulted by Gathering
Which He Accidentally Came in
Contact With, but Fled in His Au-
tOmObiIe.
Brussels, April SKIING Leopold was
mobbed by Socialists this afternoon on
his arrival here from Biarritz. The
meeting between the Socialists and the
King was quite accidental. but it was
none the les unpleasant for His Maj
esty, whose automobile was surround
ed by excited Socialists, who shouted;
Long live the republic!" Long live
universal suffrage!" and waved red
flags in the Kings face.
The Socialists had collected at the
railroad station to bid farewell to the
members of delegation of Spanish
republican deputies, who had attend
ed the Socialist gatherings here and
who had participated in last nights
demonstration. The police this morn
ing informed the Spaniards that they
must leave Brussels forthwith, and
the delegates were escorted to the sta
ton by large gathering of Socialists,
bearing red flags. The King happen
ed to arrive at the same time and had
difficulty in getting his automobile out
of the crowd, but he finally found an
opening and outdistanced his pursu-
ers.
In the Chamber OF Representatives
to-day NJ. Furnemont, Socialist, gave
notice of his intention to interpellate
the government on what he termed a
gross breach of international hospi-
tality'' in expelling the Spanish depu-
ties.
The Socialist incident to-day has
aroused intense excitement and there
are fears of further disturbances and
complications. The minister of war,
Gen. Cousebant Alekmad, has ordered
the militia reserves of eighteen regi-
ments to be in readiness to rejoin the
colors, and gendarmes of all the di-
visions are held in instant readiness

man Ray to-day filed the report on
the bill popularity known as the Hoar-

ment to do an act which may be in

merce, if such act when committed by
one persons acting alone would not be
a crime.
at will not be a criminal conspiracy
for two or more persons to merely con-
tract, combine. or agree to do an act
in restraint of interstate or foreign
commerce if such acts would not be
criminal if actually committed by one
person acting alone.

VOTE OF DANISH ELECTORS.
Majority of Landsthing Favor Rati-
lcatiOn of Treaty Only After Vot-
ers of Islands Approve.

Copenhagen, April 9.-The Lands
thing, or upper house, to-day con-
cluded it's secret debate on the treaty
providing for the sale of the Danish
West India Islands to the United
States. The opposition moved to re-
ject the treaty outright, but the mo-
ton was lost by % to S5 votes.
The Landsthing majority report,
which was signed by thirty-five men,
bers, recommends the ratification of
the treaty after secret vote
by electors who are qualified
to vote for members of the colonial
council of the Danish West Indies.
These electors are holders of property
worth 1000 kroner and upwards. The
plebiscite heretofore demanded in
voIved the entire population, including
the negroes, so the proposals are much
modified. Twenty-Five supporters OF
the government signed the minority re-
port, which is in favor of the ratifica-
ton of the treaty without plebiscite.

Savannah Men Said Trust Would Be
Formed Before Announcements.

Savannah Men Said Trust Would Be
Formed Before Announcement.
How the consolidation will affect the
hardware jobbing trade of Savannah
is at present consideration of much
local interest. The announcement from
New York that the hardware combina-
ton had been effected came too late
TO permit it to be made the basis of
interviews with the Savannah jobbers.
There seems to be little doubt, how
ever, that the leading hardware job
bers of Savannah are willing and ready
to enter the combination, in the
event what they consider fair
offers for their businesses are made.
Yelled and carefully guarded state
ments of their position in the matter
do not serve to disguise the fact that
this is their deliberate purpose.
OF course, there are many things
20 be considered. The jobbers here
are shrewd, careful and conservative
business men, and there is no danger
they will leap before they look. Be-
fore they sign an agreement to sur
render their businesses to the trust
they must be assured the promises
made them will be carried out, fully
and in absolute good faith.
1t is evidently the case that only a
few of the jobbing houses in each city
are at present desired by the trust.
With these larger businesses in their
hands the promoters of the combina-
ton feel they will be in a position to
control the sale of the heavier arti-'
cles of hardware almost absolutely
and of the smaller articles to a very
considerable extent. Among those
who have been approached in Savan-
van are the Palmer Hardware Com
pany, j. d. Weed & Co., Edward Low
ellis Sons, and possibly others

1t is probably true that none Of
those approached has given the trust
promoters an absolute and unqualified
option, but it is equally true that the
business Irritation that has been car
ried on has been something horrible.
There has been a display of coy hest
tation on both sides that would do
credit to the bashful wooing of a
country swain and damsel the trust

part:
"As Marylanders, 1 think there is
just reason to feel pride in the part
taken by the men and women of our
state in the affairs of this mighty ma
ton from its beginning to the present
hour.
Our people have borne well their
parts in the heroic struggles, or in
the patient sufferings, or in that UNI
fiinching dedication to every duty inn
posed by their citizenship or required
by their love of home and country.
From Revolutionary times down to
these days the men of Maryland have
stood every test of duty, and her sweet
women, no less famed than her men,
have made every sacrifice that patriot
ism or love of home could exact.
I'm all times of peace or war or in
every public circumstance touching the
life or perpetuity of the republic,
Maryland men have been conspicuous.
Admiral Schley was presented with
small silken naval ensign by Mrs.
Donald MacI.ean. regent of the
Daughters of the Revolution, acting in
behalf of some Maryland ladies'.
