GARDNER TO HAVE A CHANCE.
Hard Hitting Lowell Boy Will Be
Jimmy Britt's Next Opponent.

The Yosemite club of San Francisco
did not wait for Nelson and COrbett to
settle their controversy before making
it's match for December. 1t will put
Jimmy Britt on with Jimmy Gardner,
and let it go at that. Britt is anxious
to know where he stands, and rather
than defer matters any longer he is
ready to meet Gardner. Britt offered
to fight him at 1873, o'clock, or 1876 at
ringside. One hundred and thirty
three, o'clock, would have suited
Gardner better, for he is quite large,
but he finally came to Britt's terms,
accepting the wire.
Gardner, who is at Denver just at
present, will hurry on to the coast to
get to work. If the Yosemite club
could have been reasonably certain
that Corbett would have accepted the
terms of Britt in the event of success
with Nelson it might have delayed
matters. Corbett and Britt would have
been the best match, providing the
former had won, but Jimmy has de-
clared that he would not fight the Den

WILL SEEK THE PRESIDENCY.
Financial Interests Induce Retention Of
Secretary Of the Treasury.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 29.-It
practically is certain that Secretary
Shaw will stay in the cabinet until
Feb. 1, 1906, when his four-year term
will expire. He will remain not so
much because it is the personal wish
of the president as because the finan-

he shall serve his full term, and Mr..

isfactory all around.
Shaw will begin to shape his plans to
secure the republican nomination for
bitiOn is given as one of the reasons
for the little GOODNESS existing between
as he remains in the presidents FAM
lily he will keep his political ambitions
in the background.
Because of his desire to be Mr.
ROOsevelt'S successor in the White
House, Mr.. Shaw has declined two Of
fers of the presidency of New York
trust concerns, and has turned deaf
ear to similar advances from other
sources. He believes his chances of be-
ing nominated for president would be
seriously interfered with if he should
become too closely identified with Wall
street. He has not said that no offer
would tempt him to give up politics.
but he has stated that it would have
to be very flattering before it would
be given serious consideration.
Politicians are guessing that when
Mr.. Shaw retires Mr.. Cortelyou or Mr..
Morton will succeed him. The latter
will probably be the man.

THEY SCENT EQUIPMENT GRAFT.
Officials Why Buy Supplies Are Stock
holders In Manufacturing Firms.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA circular is
reported to have been issued to direc-
tors of all important railway lines
with headquarters here, asking if it is
advisable for the officials of rail-
featuring corporation selling it's pro-
duct to the roads for which they work
1t is possible that the matter will be
brought also before the interstate COM
merce commission.
Fears of favoritism in the placing of
orders for supplies instead of accept
ing bids through open competition are
back of the circular.
Some of the larger corporations have
already adopted rules prohibiting any
of their officials from being stock
holders in manufacturing corporations.
The committee of stockholders which
is conducting the investigation will at
tempt to bring about an arrangement
between all the railways making it
impossible for any of the officials or
heads of department to retain any
financial interest in a manufacturing
concern doing business with their
roads.

WINE AGAINST DEATH
Tho Strange Wager Of Mexican w.
Veterans Nearing Decision

A wager between wine and doo,
made fifty-five years ago, may Soon
be paid. In the vault of bant ..

ancient vintage. the contents of who,
will be drunk by the single survive.
of little band of twenty soldiers q,
the Mexican war. The wager is Tho
most unique of the kind on recora
After the close of hostilities with
Mexico twenty of the veterans who
went to the front from Fountain conn
ty, Indiana. met in reunion. This was
in 1S49. 1t was voted to assemh,o
yearly thereafter on Thanksgivin,
day
At the first dinner a bottle of wilma
was presented to the little company
and in half joking manner one sug.
gested that the bottle remain nm
corked until but one survivor rs.
manned. this one to quaff the wine
to the memory of those gone before
The idea met with instant favor and If
was SO agreed. Each year the annual
dinner has been held and each one
more closely cemented the ties Of
cOmradeship formed on the plains OF
Mexico. For years at the annual
gatherings the bottle has occupied a
place Of honor at the head of the table
and was annually the subject of mer
ry jests and predictions as to who
would be the last survivor to drink
its contents. AS the years passed and
the little band became reduced in
numbers the jests ceased and instead
the old soldiers who were left looked
with awe and generation upon the
flask. regarding it as link that binds
them to the memory of those who
have gone before.
Now there are seventeen who have
crossed the dark river, leaving three
who will likely assemble on next
Thanksgiving day. OF the three who
are left all are past so years of age
and all know full we'll that soon the
strange compact made in 1S49 must
end. Each wonders to whom the lot
will fall. In the yearly interval be-
tween the reunions the bottle of wine
is kept safely under guard in the bank
vault. but before many years it will
be removed for the last time from its
place of deposit. For fifty-five years
memory of the shadOwy past, but it
will not be long until it's mission will
be fulfilled.

Instead Of 100 pounds, o'clock,
Britt demanded 1873 ringside this time,
which didn't look good to Corbett af-
ter he saw what Jimmy did to Mr..

when he heard that Gardner and Britt
were matched, and he talked about his
old antagonist side-stepping him.
Otto .Floto, who saw Gardner beat
Rube Smith at Denver, was lavish in
his praise of the winner. He wrote:

He lacks nothing bordering on great
ness. He is a complete fighting ma
chine, with all the parts we'll oiled

erness and he was probably just as
cool and maybe as good ring gen.

is Cans in the same class with the

COMMITTEE is AL POWERFUL.
Supreme Court Will Not Settle Fac
tional Disputes.

BISMARCK, n. D.. Dec. Here
after, in disputes in counties between
the factions of political party the
settlement of the case will rest entire
and the state convention of the party
concerned, and the supreme court will
highest party authority.
This doctrine was laid down two
fights were brought to the supreme
court for determination, and it is re-
affirmed in "a decision in the recent
Ward county imbroglio. just handed
down. Although the court issued it's
order before the election, in order to
prevent injustice being done to can
didates for places on the county
ticket, it's opinion and the reasons
upon which it based it's dictum have
just been filed with the court. They
are interesting as setting future pos
sible quarrels in political families,
ana point out to contestants for place
that if political authorities refuse to
recognize them, they cannot look for
a reversal of the action by the SUI
preme court.
The case in question is that brought
to determine whether the names of
the nominees Of the Murphy con-
vention or the 'reOrganizers'' con-
vention in Ward county should be
printed as republican, on the official
ballot. An action was brought by
candidate on the "reorganizers'' ticket
the names of the ''reorganizers' upon
the official ballot, the state central
committee of the republican party and
the state convention having ousted
the Murphy claimants and seated the
'reorganizers.
The supreme court lays down the
general rule that where the state
central committee of a political par
ty has heard and determined a con-
test after notice and upon the merits,
between cOntesting delegates to a
state convention as to the regularity
of the county convention by which
they were elected, and it's action has
been affirmed by the convention, such
determination is conclusive upon the
courts even as between rival nominees

"Coolly and calmly he applied this

precaution of making Miss re-
main absolutely quiet by putting her
in a carriage and having her driven
slowly and cautiously to her home.
That the result of all this has been
beneficial and has saved her life is
demonstrated by the fact that this
beautiful woman is now able to attend

"She has informed the street rail-
road company that she will bring suit

BITTEN BY GARTER.
Fate of Singer Betrayed by the Press
Agent.

With it's leading figure prima dom
deadly rattlesnake, and basso pro-
fundo who carried Indian snake root
emergencies, a tale was unfOlded yes
terday so thrilling in it's varied as
poets that a failure to print it would
strike a blow at honest humor. The
prima donna's private promoter of
publicity was the unfolder Shorn of
names, thus ran the veracious chroni-
Gle:
Miss narrowly escaped
death last week from poisoning by a
rattlesnake garter which she wears;
not d garter snake, but a rattlesnake.
She is now convalescent and walking
about the streets when obliged to,
with the assistance of a cane. The
true story of her lameness and close
connection with death has just leaked
out.
She is a native of Salt Lake City
and last year spent her summer va
cation with party of friends on an
overland trip by horseback from that
city down through the Rocky Noun
tains by trail into New Mexico While
passing through the Mora valley the
III at
nephew of the famous Wild Bill
Hayes was so charmed by the re-
markable ease with which Miss -
handled her horse that he presented
her with two rattlesnake skins, as a
souvenir of the meeting.
On returning to this city Miss -
had the skins made into garters of
the circular kind. The skins were
liner with soft quilted silk. and
shortened so that the head and rattles
met together in a gold clasp.
But fatal mistake was mada in
not removing the fangs from the head
of one snake. This snake. or rather
garter, Miss - wore on her right
limb last Tuesday on her way to re-
hearsal. In getting off a Broadway
car she fell to the ground, she saws
because the car started too soon. This
caused a tremendous shock. but above
