Attell's Chances in His Proposed Match
With Young Corheti

Abe Attell. the clever fighter from Cali
fornia. has hit upon the right scheme to con-
vince followers OF the ring that he Is the
riGhtful leader among featherweights, In
addition to his proposed match with Jen
Bowker. the English bantam champion.
which Is scheduled to be decided some time
next fall. Attell effers to take on Young Cor
bett for a bout OF from six no unds up to twenty
or to a finish If the Denver man is satisfied.
Attell believes that this is the only way that
he can compel ring devotees to recognize
him as the real featherweight champion.
Despite his recent verses, there are many
who think Corbett is far from being back
number. He is regarded as fighter Of class
because he is the only man who took the
mea sure Of Terry McGovern.
That Attell and Corbett would put up
battle that would be brimful OF action and
interesting Is not denied. That dissipation
has not entirely injured Corbett's system
was shown by the recent battle with Thomp-
son OF Butte and his twenty round bout with
Eddie Hanlon. Corbett knocked out Thomp-
son and lost to Hanlon on points only. At

not much OF a factor, because he gave away
pounds to Nelson and intends to do the same
with Corbctt. Attell at best Is a 100 pound
man. He can make this weight without
much trouble. but his friends think that 1872
pounds would he more to his liking. Attell
offers to do battle with Corbett at 1870 pounds,
or six more pounds than his actual scale.
Corbett fought Terry McGovern at this notch

Corbctt would be able TO reduce to this now.
He has grown heavier in late years, and

would be rather inconsistent in view of the
fact that Attell would be giving away ten
pounds Corbett might compromise at 1928
pounds ringside. and II this is not too much
OF n handicap Attell should make the match
at this figure.
In past battles Corbett has depended for
victory on the power of his blows. In his
fight with McGovern his ability to deliver a
hurd knock at the proper time won for him,
but he has not the power behind his shoulder
blade to do the same thing now. especially

barber and took instruction in his art
Finally he was allowed to trim the beard
Of M. Planqon under the direction of the
head Of the shop. After this had been
done several times the valet trimmed the
sacred hairs alone. Now he does it always.
The distinguished FRENCH basso has lost
money because Of his love for this beard.
Maurice Grau wanted him to shave 1t OFF
and sing Sulpice when the opera was
given more frequently than any other
during the season. But he refused to do
1t and thus lost many appearances which
otherwise would have fallen to him.
He also declined to sing Don Pasquole
he would have had to part with his beard.
His valet had confded to other members
of the company that he never requires less
than an hour day to get NJ. Plancon's
beard into the condition he desires. 1t
always exudes delicate odor Of violets.
There could he no greater contrast to
these carefully tended whiskers than the
meager stragglers of Senator Jones. The
close cut beard Of Admiral Rivet is no more
than stubby tuft on the chin and the
third specimen OF the French beard is
Henri w., somewhat modified on the face
OF Maurice Sou Tot de Magny, the French
Consul General His beard Is too long and

The style affected by Senator Jones Is
varied in the case of Clarence Eddy the
American organist who is now a resident
OF Paris. Mr.. Eddy shows plainly the
result Of sojourn abroad
He has heightened and curled the ends
OF his mustache and allowed the beard to
grow more luxuriantly at the sides than the
average American would be likely to do.

so carefully are they clipped and so free
are they from all traces of Bohemianism.
II MIR. Browns beard had the same dis
position to curliness that Mr. Eddy's pos
sesses it might ramble over the front %
his coat in the same Indifferent artistic
way. The painter keeps his beard closely
trimmed however and it could no more
be suspected Of him than of his neighbor,
Richard Delafeld, that he paints pictures.
Mr. Delafield is president of trust COM
pany. 80 it it is quite inconceivable that
his pointed beard should be intended
as artistic. 1t is an excellent specimen OF
the New York business beard and is per-
haps more usual than the form worn by
E. G. Snow.
Mr.. Delaheld has only one point to his
beard while Mr.. Snow has two. The latter
form is not 80 frequently seen.
Or. Z. E. Hale's stalwart beard is rather
more foreign than American in its tendency
to spread out and occupy large area.
Verdi wore just such beard during the
later years Of his life, and if the venerable
American writer had broad brmmed
hat he would resemble the famous Italian.
An English literary style is illustrated
by the beard of Frederic Harrison, which
is limited in breadth but longer than such
boards usually are. If it were cut to the
outlines of Mr.. Harrison's chin. it would
not be any longer than the Rivet beard.
Mr.. Harrison's decorations are, like Mr..
Hale's, more Continental than Anglo Saxon,
and the English writer looks very much
more like member of the French Cham
Der of Deputies than a resident of England.

The prevailing style OF beard for the
New York business man Is closely clipped,
short, and rather pointed than otherwise.
The Henri Nv. or parted square beard has
given way almost entirely to the closely
trimmed pointed beard.
Still. men with curly hair have a weak
ness for the square beard, as the waves in
the beard are likely to show and look as

Rumors That Attempts Have
Been Made to Bride Pu-
Iaski Grand Jurymen

There are rumOrs that another
sensation will be uncovered when
the Pulaski county grand jury re-
convenes next Monday to resume
the Doodle investigation. These
rumors are to the effect that GER
tain parties have attempted to
bride members Of the grand Jury
The Democrat says these rum
ors have been talked on the streets
for several days, but they have
been so intangible there were no
grounds to warrant their publica-
ton. The Democrat, however,
sent note to J II. Steed, one of
the grand jurors, whom, it is al
legged, was given so by another
member Of the jury to vote against
returning an indictment against
Cook Steed is said to have given
the money to Prosecuting Attor-
ney Rhoton. Steed was asked to
either affirm or deny the report,
but declined to do so.
Mr. Rhoton was asked about it
but he also declined to affirm or
deny the report, but said that
when the grand jury reconyened
next Monday they will make
thorough investigation of all mat
ters pertaining to the investigation,
direct or indirect.
1t is understood that this matter
will be sifted to the bottom, and
that if efforts have been made to
tamper with the grand jury, they
will be brought to light. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be some sem
.satie9al developments when the in
yestigatloa is resumed. Another
matter will probably be taken up,
the disposition on the part of some
members to talk too much on the
outside of the grand jury room.
In fact, there are several matters
that will make the situation lively.

publication is to be a home maya

ture was below normal with fire.
quent showers, which in many sec
tions were excessive. As result
little farm work was done. Cot
ton is making fair growth and in
some sections is going too much to
weed and making very little fruit;
chopping has not yet been COM
pleted and the crop is badly in
need of cultivation. Early corn
has generally been laid by and is
doing fairly we'll; the late planted
is needing cultivation. Some oats
and wheat were injured in the
shock by rain. Irish and sweet
potatoes are generally good. Hay
is excellent but owing to wet
weather little has been cut. APP
piles continue to drop and a light
crop of inferior quality is indicat-
ed. There is some complaint of
peaches dropping but the indica-
lions are for a fair to good crop
of medium quality.
