NEARY AND HERRERA
Will Fight Eight Rounds at Milwaukee
Tonight.-Big Crowd Expected.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 17.-An
eight round bout between Charley
Neary, the Milwaukee lightweight, and
Aurelia Herrera, the hard hitting Mex
lean, is the magnet that is expected to
draw the patrons of the Badger Ath-
letic Club to the club arena tonight.
The bout has been under discussion
for a long time and with the approach
of the date the interest among the
fight followers has livened to a notice
able degree. It will be Herrera's first
appearance in the ring since his fias-
co with Battling Nelson at Los An
geles.
The past records of the two fighters
justify the expectation of a lively bat
tie. They have met three times, and
each contest has been a draw. If
Neary succeeds in getting the decis.
ion in tonights go he will immediate
ly endeavor to get on match with
Nelson.
Both Neary and Herrera have been
working faithfully to get into condi-
ton. though the Mexican as a rule is
notably lax in his training work.
Both now appear to be in fine fettle,
fit to fight the battle of their lives.

THE SULTAN'S END
IS BELIEVED NEAR
ADVICES CONFIRM RUMoRS RE
GARDlNG CRITICAL CONDITION
OF SULTAN'S HEALTH.
sneclnl TO the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Vienna. Aug. 17.-Private advices re-
ceived here from Constantinople con
firm the rumors that have been cur
rent for some time regarding the crit
ical condition of the Sultan's health.
Abdul Hamid undoubtedly is a very
sick man. His nervous system is in
state of collapse. Eminent physi-
clans from Paris, Berlin and this city
have been called into consultation,
but they have been unable to bring
about any lasting relief in the Sultan's
condition. The physicians declare
that he cannot live much longer. and
the succession to the throne is likely
to be a matter of vital interest at any
time
It is said that the several reform or
CARNATIONS opposed to the present
ruler Of Turkey have decided to COM
bine their efforts in support of Mehem-
med Rashad Ehendi, who according to
Mussulman law, is the heir apparent,
and the legal successor to Abdul
Hamid But in direct violation of the
law the Sultan has nominated his
third son, Prince Mehemmed Burhan
Eddin Efendi. who is now q years of
age, a singularly bright and handsome
young man, and whom the Sultan
loves above all those other eight chill
dren of his, who rank as princes and
Processes of the blood Mehemmed
Durham Eddin is the son of that one
of all the wives of the Sultan whom
he loved best, and who from a Tur-
kish point Of view. was of the most
lofty birth. The young man has been
brought up largely by European tutors
and in European fashion.
Mehemmed Reshad, upon whom the
Young Turkey party has decided
for the throne, is a brother of the
present Sultan and two years his
junior He lives as a partial prisoner
in one of the palaces on the Bosporous
and is surrounded by paid spies and
guards of the Sultan. who report to
their master everything he says and
does. He is known to have liberal,
progressive ideas. which. of course,
are offensive TO his imperial brother,
and are the reasons why the latter
has attempted to put him out Of the
successorship. He has conducted him.
self wi.h great discretion and ~.
dgIce, however, and has IuT1Ts1ed ~
excuse for his assassination or i'm
prisonment.
The reform element maintains that
the law Of the empire expressly states
that the eldest living male member Of
the family shall be the successor to
the throne and that the Sultan has no
right to choose his favorite son or
name any one else TO succeed him.
Three of the Sultan's brothers and
two of his elder sons stand between
Mehemmed Durham and the throne
But the Sultan has seen fit TO change
the order of succession and the lead
ing authorities on the subject of
Korauic law and doctrine declare
there is no religious obstacle to the
change.

WhyAdulterated
Paint is Dear

A maker of adulterated
white lead sneered "Why
should paint be pure? No
one eats it."
True, but when white
lead is adulterated with
barytes, Sublimed lead,
gypsum, whiting, ETC., it
loses the qualities which
make pure white lead the
best paint pigment.
And when these imita-
tons are sold as white lead,
the consumer is deceived
into payingwhite lead prices
for worthless substitutes.

The Graphic today submits, to It's. many readers the most generous offer ever made to the reading public by any newspaper in the smaller cites of the great southwest. Despite the limited field in which the local papers of Pine Bluff are permitted to- circu- late and operate, we have. perfected plans whereby it is proposed to give away absolutely free of cost to the public the munificent value of $550, which will take the form of due bills to apply on the purchase of three frst-class pianos, which will be donat- ed free, to the most popular lady, married or single, chosen by a popular vote on the part of the public. The proposition is both interesting and profitable. Read it.
 First, we will give away. absolute, ly free of cost, a $400 Kimba1l piano style Is, sold by the well known Hoi~ ]enberg Music company of this city and Little Rock, to the lady receiving the, largest number of votes.
 Second, we will give a due bill for $100, to apply on the purchase price of a similar instrument, sold by the same company, to the lady receiving the next largest number of votes.
 Third, we will give due bill for $50 on the purchase price of another piano from the same company, to the lady receiving the third largest num- Der of votes in the contest.
 Think of it a moment. This sum represents the average yearly salary of the working women of this section of the country. It represents sum equalling the salary of the average working man for the same length of tin, tnat the contest will run
 res.tbY Y is ~n extraordinary offer, .ud orc t,iat will doubtless arouse the greatest enthusiasm on the pat of the public generally. Every ladT wants g. piano. The Graphic proposes to give away three of them, of which anyone may we'll feel proul. It is a
