THE PUGILISTS.
JEFFRIES IS
 PREPARING.
Begins the Training for Jack nunroe..The Hol- lander Who is After the Big Fellow.-N0tes.

In order not to be caught mapping,
 Jim Jeffries has already commenced
 training for his contest with Jack Mum
 Zoe at San Francisco next May. The
 Champions work, although of mild
 order as far as he is concerned, would
 be considered strenuous enough for or dinary pugilists. He began work yes
 terday. His exercise is confined chief ly to boxing and skipping the rope.
 This he does in a gymnasium in Har-
 lem. Jeffries takes on weight rapidly
 when idle. At the present time he tips the beam at 235 pounds. He fights at 2I5 usually, so he will have plenty Of time to reduce by the time he enters the ring. Otherwise he is i'll good on- dition. Jeffries's boxing bouts with
 Joe Kennedy have done a lot to perfect
 his wind. The pair go at each other with all the, viciousness usual in gen nine contest, and at the end Jeffr1es does not puff to any extent. A'r Is very quick, but not as fast, of course, as he will be when in trim. Jeffries considers his fight wi the miner very important one, and despite Nun roe's lack of experience does not hold |E him too cheaply. In fact, he never is |sinclined to take any chances for a light, no matter what the reputation of his opponent may be, and always pre- pares Faithfully. Jeffrfes is undecided
 what he will do after his mill with
 Munroe. He expects to take trip to
 England sin the summer returning to I New York late in the fall He intends
 to retire after his encounter with Mun- roe unless the public should will other

 him. Another prospective opponent
 for Jeffries has arrived i'll this coun- try. He Is Henry J. J, Plaeke of Hol- land Placke, who whs a passenger
 on the steamship Rotterdam, was ac-
 eompanied by his manager, John
 Smith, and John Wonderland, light
 weight boxer of Holland, Placke
 styles himself the champion heavy
 weight boxer of Europe, Australia and
 New Zealand. He Is six feet five
 inches in his stocking feet and weighs
 In condition 240 pounds. Placke looks
 more like a wrestler than a pugilist. He has massive shoulders. long
 reach and is a typical athlete in ap- pearance, Very little is known of him
 In this country, although he challenged
 Jenries about six months ago. The champion ignored the def, as he had
 never heard of the foreigner, Placke

 when apprised of Placke's visit, .safd:. sJeffries will fight Placke, but the Hol-
 lander will have to wait until after
 Jim's contest with NIunroe. The
 champion will take Placke on two or three weeks after his scrap with Mum

OLD WOMAN He WE'D
DID WOOING, He SAYS
Young Baltimore Widower Denies That
He Married to Get His Wife's
Wealth.

BALTIMORE. May 2.-Secrets Of the
courtship and marriage OF the wealthy
Mrs. Fehll, at the age of seventy years.

place November % 1897, was the result
of the ardent courtship Of Mrs FehlL

The Ladies' Home Journal

has devoted an entire page in its May
issue In the cause OF true temperance.
1t correctly points out that the use Of
patent medicines containing from u 10
~ per cent Of alcohol must be far more
injurious than good, wholesome beers,
containing only from TO per cent of
alcohol. I'm which, through fermentation
and pasteurization, disease germs have
been killed.
BY good. wholesome beers those are
meant that have been brewed from the
very choicest barley malt, the finest hops
and thoroughly filtered. chemically pure
water. For nourishing qualities barley
stands at the head OF all cereals and the
tonic properties Of hops have long since
been recognized by the medical profess
sion. thus by combining the extracts OF
barley-malt, and hops. we have both a
food and a tonic.
In all lines Of production there Is some
certain article which leads all others by
reason of its purity and quality. In the
brewing industry this particular article
is Anheuser-Busch's Budweiser bottled
beer.

Proper Treatment
For Delicate Skins

A delicate skin Inclined to dryness as
well as to wrinkles at an early age. re-
quires vastly different treatment from
an oily skin. The care which would
cleanse and beautify the latter would
ruin a dry skin In brief, such a skin
must be treated a good deal like a bit
Of fine porcelain to preserve its delicate
beauty.
Protection from cold. raw. or hot dry
winds. either of which quickly parch the
skin. IS essential
The lack OF natural oil must be sup
piled from time to time to preserve the
delicate tissues and textures Of the
skin inclined TO be dry
Wrinkles appear as soon as a starved
| condition of the sebaceous glands pre-
walls. and II is only by nourishing the
underlying tissues by pure skin food
that one can hope to restore the contour
Of the face and keep wrinkles in abey-
! ance.
Steaming Is not advisable for a dry
skin. even occasionally. and hot water
| should not be used oftener than aree
or four times a week
Keep the skin clean by using tepid
water and pure soap. preferably cas-
tile being very careful to always rinse
| the face with cold water whether or
not hot or tepid water has been first
| employed.
| Always follow the cold rinsing with
a little cold cream well rubbed in to
| counterfeit the drying effects of the hot
water
/ Discard the Turkish wash cloth which
is too harsh. and substitute one of old
soft linen or white flannel. and pat
rather than rub. the face dry with a
/ soft towel.
/ After the nightly face bath always ap-
ply a good skin food and rub In gently.
being careful to rub across the wrinkles.
/ Do not hasten the application. as the
| manipulation is important in assisting
the skin in the process Of absorption
as well as exciting rapid circulation.
Be careful to buy only the best skin
food or make It at home after the fol-
lowing formula: Take TWO ounces oil OF
sweet almonds. one ounce lanoline one
| ounce concentrated extract Of witch
hazel. two ounces Of cocOanut oil, one
| ounce strained mutton tallow, sixty
! drops Of simple tincture of beL1 in and
| thirty drops extract of white re, /. Beat
! the oils to a cream. then slowly stir in
the benZoin drop by drop and then the
witchhazel and perfume. Pour into
small china jars and keep in a cool
| place and well covered.
