TiRre-Fxf11ers in Broad dvay.

A curious feature of the monday crush on lower Broadway is, the dawdling of numbers of young men and old among the busy, rushing thousands, as if all the care they had in the world was to enjoy a good smoke. In the side streets these idlers stand in groups, pufing at cigars, cigarettes or pipes. Sud- denly some one, consulting his watch, will exclaim: Times up," and the group will be swallowed up in one of the office buildings. These men are taking their monday smoke after luncheon, in the minutes remaining of their noon hours. The anti-smok- ing rules now being adopted in many large offices are responsible for these men loafng on their way back from luncheon.-N. Y. Times.

Men Have Defective Ears.

A French surgeon says that men are more subject to aural diseases than women, says Golden Penny, and that out of every seven middle-aged persons there are two who do not hear as we'll with one ear as with the other. In every thousand chil- dren under IS years of age four show symptoms of some ear disease, and six a marked deficiency in hearing power. The liability to disease in- creases from birth to the age of 40. and then begins gradually to de- crease as old age advances. Out of the total number of cases. subjected to surgical treatment, it is estimat- ed that about B per cent. are cured and SC per cent. Permanently re- lieved.

 Changes In That City.
 TOLEDO, O., Feb. 4.-With the-con- pletion of the new $5, 5,O00,OOO belt around the city the Gould interests-con- trolling the Wabash, Ann Arbor and Wheeling and Lake Erie lines have purchased property through the heart of the city with which they will de- velop terminals at cost of $1O,O0O;0 coo, It is the intention of the Gould inter ests to lay a four track road on this property, connecting their diversified interests in the city by this meansWith the terminals.
 The right of way passes within a square of the courthouse, Central Con- gregationaL church and three public school buildings and is without excep- ton the highest priced property in To- ledo. The Gould agents have carried on secret negotiations for this property and need but few pieces to complete their right of way. It is expected that request will be made soon of the council for, permission to cross various streets, which without doubt will re- suit in determined fight similar to the one ink which the company is now engaged in Pittsburg.
 The company's agents refuse to say whether the intention is to build sur face or elevated line through the city, although they deny that any open tun- nel arrangement will be used for the streets. Negotiations were opened for the purchase of 800 acres of property just outside the city limits, the object being to convert the area into cattle yards. At the same time options were secured on enough property within five blocks of the postoff1ce to be used for depot purposes.

 Iii order to clinch match with Jim Jeffries for the heavyweight title. as far as he is concerned, Jim Corbett yesterday signed articles of agreement presented by the International A. O. of Fort Erie. The papers call for a twenty-round bout, to be decided on or about June 30, 1903, for 8 purse of $25,000, which the Canadian club has already offered. The men can divide the money on a basis of 75 and 25 per cent. The forfeit of S5,O00 which Jack Herman, representing the club, posted the other day, will remain up until there is no possible chance of the scrap being ratified. Corbett seems to think that Jeffries will come around in due season and,is quite jubilant over the prospect of elashing again with his old foeman. Herman up to a late hour yesterday had not heard any thing officially from Jeffries and his attitude relative to the proposed tilt The champion, who is in St Louis this week, wants to fight Corbett all right, but insists taht the mill should be to a finish. It is likely that the club may meet him half way and increase the distance to twenty-five rounds. Jeffries was. not represented at the meeting, and Herman has made pre- parations to leave to-day for St Louis to see the champion.
