Good word for Rocking-Chairs.

Someone who was interested in the
fact has discovered that while Ameri-
can women are shorter than their Eng
lish sisters, their legs are much more
symmetrical and their ankles more
graceful The belief is expressed that
the reason for this lies in the great love
of the American women for rocking
chairs. Here a woman will sit down
in a rocking chair, and, apparently hap
py, rock by the hour, were she not dis
turbed, perhaps not knowing that the
mere movement employed to keep the
chair in motion does, by repeated
pushes of the toes, make the instep
high, the calf round and full, and so
keep from the ankle an accumulation

1,,o annroaoblnp Prize Figbt

San Francisco, Aug. 11.-With the
big fight only three days away, both
.Jeffries and Corbett are in the condition
in which they will enter the ring. Their
training is done and it only remains for
the fighters to keep from going back. 1t
seems to be pretty clearly established
that Jeffries, has not done conscientious
training. The plain truth fs that
Jeffrfes holds Corbett cheap. Corbett
has worked most faithfully and so far as
outside indications go he is certainly in
the best form of his life. 1t remains to be
seen how he will stand the strain in the
ring. The latest news from Hardin
Springs, is to the effect that Jeffries
weighs close to 29O pounds. Betting has
taken turn in favor of Corbett and the
betting is now two to one on Jeffries.
The betting was 10 to 4.

pope SwOoned While Celebrating
Mass

Rome, Aug. 1l.-Pope Plus Y. while
celebrating mass this morning in the
Sistine Chapel swooned. His weakness
was perceived by members of the Vatican
who saved him from falling. The Pope
was removed to his apartments where
physicians, hurriedly summoned, re-
stored him to consciousness. The strain
and excitement through which the Pope
had passed since his election, it was be-
lieved, caused the collapse. Heretofore,
even when slightly i'll, the Pope had
avoided physicians. The doctors found,
it il stated, that he is suffering from
heart disease, which is in awell advanced
stage. The Pope was told by the ply
sicians that if he continues his work with
such ardor as he displayed in the past,
his life will be endangered. They sug-
gested his immediate removal to the
summer residence in the Vatican gar
dens and his total retirement for brief
period at least.

A rumor has reached here from Rich
mond to the effect that Captain Camm
Patteson, who was recently nominated

very few votes in this county, whereas
Captain PattesOn received a large vote
