The papal flag is comparatively I'M
familiar outside Of the Eternal City
The war flag of the defunct temporal
power Of the Pope was white and in its
Paul with the cross keys and tiara
above them. The flag of the merchant
ships owned by the subjects of the
states of the church is curious COM
bfnation, half yellow and half white. In
the banner used by the Crusader King
Of Jerusalem, Godfrey, the only tine
lures introduced were the two metals,
gold and silver, five golden crosses be-
ing placed upon a silver field This was
done with the intention of making the
device unique, as in all other cases it
is deemed false heraldry to place metal
on metal.-Pau Mall Gazette.

COrbett Likes the Stage Better
Than the Ring.
The Former Champion Is Ambi-
tiOus to Become a Star.
IS MUCH EASIER TO ACT
Doesn't Even Get a Punch
Around the Ring.
Makes Fun of the John LIS Chal-
lenge Issued.

Cincinnati, Feb. 15.-Jim Corbett,
the pugilist, promises to become an
actor of more than ordinary ability.
No. man could be more interested
in his work than is the conqueror of
John L. Sullivan and former worlds
champion pugiIist.
Corbett has taken to the stage as
a duck does to water. He has great
ambitions and hopes some day to en-
terrain the audiences OF the high
priced theaters. He realizes, how
ever. that it will require a lot more
work. and he is more than willing 10
occupy his present station in the pro-
feSsion for few years longer before
he will step a notch higher.
Corbett is even now good actor.
He is a most natural fellow on the
stage. He never overdoeS. anything
and he makes himself perfectly at
home before an audience
Though he will not admit it, it is
questionable, indeed, whether Corbett
will ever be seen in the prize ring
again. He believes he has a future on
the stage and good. judges have given
lief.

former champion yesterday. 1T is

work and L am anxious to advance in
the profession. 1 realize that it VIII

that can really act a little.
Because 1 have been a fighter the
general public believes that l am
merely travelling around on my repu-
tation and that there is not the
slightest merit in my work on the
stage am gradually convincing the
people that I have some ability
will you ever fight again % was
asked.
We'll, now. I can't tell about that
I like the stage better than I do the
prize ring. 1t is easier and more
pleasant to act than it is to have your
head punched off. ! don't believe
that I would ever fight again unless it
We're for the championship. and 1 will
candidly say that at present my
chances for regaining the title are

yet There is nothing in boxing nova
days anyway. The sport may be re-
vived some of these days so that the
law will recognize legitimate boxing
contests, and when that time comes
may take another try at the game"
What about Sullivan's chal-
lenges7''
Now I leave that to you. It's all
a joke about Sullivan fighting again.
He is an old man, and to even give
such thing fighting him al
thought could not help but lower me
in every ones estimation. For the
present I'm going to try to make a
good actor of myself, and I am be-
coming more and more convinced
every day that I can succeed"

Heart Trouble and Not Frozen to
Death as First Thought.
Leavenworth. Kas.. Feb. 15.-Short-
| " after 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Captain Trum and Detective McDon-
aid of the local police force burst open
the rear door leading into the resi-
dence of Mrs. Elizabeth Woehner, an
aged German woman at No. 627 Shaw
nee street and entering the front room,
found her quite cold and dead in
bed. The presumption was that she
had frozen to DEATH but this was not
substantiated-
Just before the noon hour neighbors
of Mrs. Wcehner had telephoned to
police headquarters stating that some
thing was wrong. For many years
she had always been up and stirring
by or o'clock, but even at noon no
sign of life had come from the old
house where she had resided alone
since the sudden death of her husband
about one year ago
The two officers went to the house
and attempted to rouse Mrs Woeh-
ner, but finally, giving up this effort,
went to the back door. The keys were
turned in the lock from the inside and
there was nothing. left hut, to force an
entrance The door was kicked in.
The kitchen was bare and deserted,
the house was icy cold and there was
no sign of life.
The men went through into the
next room and there in bed. Mrs.
Woehner lay. dead The report that
she had frozen to death spread rapid
" but it was groundless. She wore
an unusually heavy night dress. and
a heavy shawl wrapped about her head
and slept upon both mattress and
feathers under covering of four or five
confOrters.
Coroner Smith was summoned and
DR.. r. L. Boiling called in. He found
that death had been due to natural
causes. either heart trouble or acute
pneumonia. Examination showed that
the deceased had taken antikamnia,
probably for headache. DR.. Boiling
stated that while this drug would
not have been fatal it might have i'm
paired an already weakened heart ac-
ton and on so rigorous a night as
that caused death.

IS BATTING 4 LosT ARr?
Captain Arson Tells the Youngsters to
Study the Old Game.

Chicago. Feb. 15.-"Batting is a lost
art" says Captain Arson in his wordy
war with Pitcher Chesbro over the
spit ball" "That is why all these fell
lows fall down on any ball that has a
twist or two on it-something different
from what they are used to. You
don't see the long, sweeping stick
work any more. It is all the chop and
slap, and not an honest, good hard
blow struck. That is why 1 say bat
ting is a lost art. If some of these
younger ones would study up the game
the old-tinne batters used they would
get out of the modern rut that slaps
at balls. instead of putting the wood
into them for healthy drives.
"I don't care how the ball breaks.
BY the rules of the game it has got to
come over that nan and if it comes
over above the knees and below the
shoulder there is no need for the slap
per in the game. I think it's a case
Of bad eyes and worse guessing with
these batters nowadays. They go
after a ball feet from the pan and
then call ii marvellous pitching and
new tangled spit balls and agree
with the pitcher on it. They get
away with it and nothing is said. The
batters today do not compare with
Dan Crouthers. Thompson. Roger
Common, Gore, Dalrymple, Herman and
could name dozens or more. where
nowadays you have one or two like
Iaioie.''
