sity of Indiana at Bloomington, was

for the male high school track team and
Mr.. Horn had come from Bloomington
to assist him. While Lachridge was
talking to a group of students Horn
took up a 12-pOund hammer and Whirl-
ing it around his head sent it flying
through the air directly toward Lacch-

MATCH FOR GENTLEMAN JIM.
Yale Football Player Made Things In
teresting for Ex-Champion.

New York. April 2.-Jim Corbett
created some talk in boxing circles last
week by undertaking to mix matters up
with a big football player who IS also
clever with the gloves at the Yale
gymnasium.
The bout was not witnessed by an
outsider but those who saw the miXup
were treated to some lively work If re-
ports of the encounter are true. Cor
bett found the fOotballist both strong
and clever. He was not afraid to mix
it up, and went at the ex-champion for
further orders. Corbett was of course
in no danger of a Knockout, but admit
ted after the exhibition that he was
greatly surprised to find at Yale such
sensational amateur boxer unknown to
the sporting world Corbett advised
the young athlete. whose name is ThOs-
Shevlin, jr-. that it would be profitable
for him to take up pugilism for a living,
but Shevliu declares that he would not
think of such a thing, but viii face the
terrors of football again next fall at
Yale. and viii follow that dangerous
sport until he finishes his course at col
lege notwithstanding the fact that he
might be making big money following
in the footsteps of Jack A1unroe, who
went from So a day in the mines to
Broadway hero inside of a fortnight.

FIGHT RECEIPTS Sao,s42.
Corbett Drew $7,447 and McGovern
1892

San Francisco, April Eff Terry Ne
Govern had been given 80 seconds in
which to recover from the effect of the
terrific blow on the jaw given by Young
Corbett in the battle for the feather
weight championship Tuesday night, ne
would have still been at the mercy Of
the Denver lad.
The claim of Terry that he was job
bed and unfairly counted out in his
battle with Corbett is absolutely dis
credited by the official timekeeper and
by hundreds of impartial observers It
is generally denounced as an absurd
statement made by a man thoroughly
beaten.
Tinaekeeper Harting, said his watch
showed ten and half seconds when he
called McGovern out, while Jim Nell,
the horseman, who held his watch on
the fight, declared today that it was Il
seconds before McGovern could regain
his feet and even then his eyes were
CLASSY and he could scarcely speak.
After their hard battle both Young
Corbett and Terry McGovern spent the
night at the Hannah baths. CorbetI
was the early bird of the two, rising
at o'clock. but al that he was on the
street only short time before Terry
appeared.
IN speaking of his plan of battle, Cor
bett said:
When went into the ring the only
knockout blow I had in mind was q
right on the jaw. I schemed to plant
one on this point, but was in no shurry
about it,
As to Corbetts programme for the
future, Harry Tuthin said:
I don't know yet just what we'll do,
but my man is in grand shape and
ready for more Anyone in his class
who wants a match can get it.
one of the most remarkable features
of the recent battle was the great
change in sentiment on the part OF the
spectators At the opening of the bat
lie McGovern got the cheers, but at
the end they were all for Corbett.
Gross receipts of the fight Tuesday
amounted to $40, SAT The big end OF the
purse was S7,447l2. and the loser had
the solace of putting S4,962.OS into his
leans.

CLEVELAND ANNOYED.

Princeton, April 2.-Former President

ment to the Associated Press relative to
his intended visit to ST. Louis to attend

ana Purchase exposition:
I have had no intention of going
any farther than st. Louis and intend
returning as soon as possible by the
most direct route and yet in some way
it has been given out that 1 was to 20

many other states and territories, and
in consequence of this have received
numerous letters from good people Inv
ing in these localities making requests

ports. Tt max be amusing to those

CHICORY IN NEBRASKA.
Western State Furnishes the substi-
tute for Coffee.

AS a substitute for and adulteration
of coffee chicory easily leads the list
It is largely grown in European coun-
tries and in some localities takes the
place of the coffee bean entirely In
other lands it is used in connection
with coffee for the preparation of the
decoction which so universally pIeases
mankind.
This latter is it's almost universal use
in the United States, and epicures
claim that it imparts an agreeable
flavor to the drink unattainable with
out its presence. Chicory is known to
be entirely harmless. whether used as
an entire substitute for coffee or in
connection with it. Until within COM
paratively few years all chicory con-
sumed in the United States was i'm
ported, the main supplies coming from
Germany. It now is grown in large
quantities in several of the western
states, Nebraska being the principal
producer, where its culture and pre-
paratlon for market occupies the time
Of several thousand persons.
A chemical fact in connection with
coffee should ever be remem bered by
the housewife. Green (unroasted) cof-
fee improves with age up to about
four years. from which time it rapidly
deteriorates in quality. Roasted coffee
on the other hand, quickly loses
strength and flavor after leaving the
ovens, and even when rigidly excluded
from the air is not nearly as good as
when fresh roasted. Coffee should never
be ground or pulverized until the hour
Of its need if one is anxious to pre-
serve the delightful aroma indicative of
a really good cup of this popular beVer-
age. nor should it ever be boiled from
process, is considered by epicures the
best method Of preparing, which makes
an infusion instead of a decoction.-
