he says that the retired champion will
in all probability. take hold again If
shown a suitable opponent and a fair
prospect.
Conroth says he felt that way about
it all along and that the reason he
hasn't bothered Jeffries is that he wants
Jack O'Brien or Marvin Hart or Sam
Berger or some other heavyweight TO
rise so far above his classmat es that
the public viii begin TO say, This fell
low would be in line for a tilS at Jeffries
II Jenries hadn't retired"
when the tirae is ripe I have no fear
but that / VIII be able to obtain Jeff's
signature TO articles of agreement" is
the way CofTroth puts it,
The threatened return of Jeffries TO
the fighting game adds interest 10 the
coming match at Los Angeles between
Marvin Hart and Tommy Burns. but
only because Hart is one OF the prin-
cipals, Hart, on account of his size.
probably is looked upon as the most
suitable opponent for Jeffries, and the
fact that Jeffries snubbed the Ken
tuckian at d recent slugfest in Los An
geles IS taken TO mean that Farmer
Jim would box as mercilessly with Hart
as he ala with Jack Munro.
What a farcicaI situation II would be.
though If Tommy Burns defeated Hart?
If anything like that happened. Jeffries
would no doubt burrow deeper than ever
into retirement.
frankie Neil and Harry Tenny. a pair
of bantams. are matched to box before
the San Francisco fight trust on Feb
ruary p. They are a waspish couple,
and as intense rivalry has existed be-
tween them ever since they figured in
q close thing at Colma. there IS every
prospect of a bitter contest.
It may be that Honey Melody and
Mike (Twin) Sullivan will form the
March card. Morris Levy is negotiat-
ing with these we7terweights and is re-
serving the privilege of putting them in
the ring either in this city or Los An
geles.
At this writing the fight trust is in
muddle. AS told in last weeks letter.
the shareholders are at loggerheads-
Coffroth. who was supposed to control
% per cent OF the stock. has given out
that he simply stands on an equal foot
ing with Levy. Graney. and Willie
Britt, and that the conditions do not
suit him.
IF / am TO handle the business of the
amalgamated managers. 1 want more
than 25 per cent" said Coffroth. What
with Britt-Nelson pictures and other
schemes. my time is too valuable TO be
given uD to the San Francisco fight
game under existing ARRANGEMENTS
If Coffroth cannot make better terms
he will 30 to London to look after the
Britt-Nelson films and will attend to the
making of daylight matches at CoIrna
later IN the year.

IT is within reasonable bounds to
say that the recent Legislature car
ried out as fully ante election prom
ises of the Democratic party and
its candidates as did any Legis-
lature that ever assembled in the Old
Dominion. The Executive aud Leg
islative branches were in perfect
harmony, and if the slightest promise
to the people failed, we, as a close
student of their acts, have failed to
discover the dereliction. Banking,
insurance, finances, schools, roads,
pensions-all have had weighty con-
sideration and have been determined
for the best good to the State. To
the disappointment, maybe, of few,
factiona! politics or party lines have
cut no figure In the deliberations,
and ultra opinions of the press have
fallen unheeded upon those for two
months rooted under our new and
splendid capitol. Congratulations to

The Sensational Cure OF Mrs.

Washington, writes:
al suffered with catarrh of the res
piratory organs Off and on for the last
three years until 1 thought 1t was
chronic. MY chest and lungs were ir-
ritated and had to use the greatest
care not to expose myself to chilly air
or dampness as itincreased my troubles.
"My physician advised me to fry q
change of climate, but was unable TO
leave my family. Reading of the Won
derfuf cures performed by Peruna,
bought q bottle.
'Ifwas with the greatest satisfaction
thar 4 found IL the one medicine among
them all which cured me. 1 was re-
heved within three days and after two
months and half the irritation was
gone, my lungs perfectly healed and my
health restored."-Ids Caldwell.

MISS NORRIS TURNS UP MISSING.

The police of the city are still looking
for Miss Lucy Norris, Is years old, who
left MAYORS wharf, Richmond county,
Va, last Tuesday, on board of Kappa
hammock river line steamer, and who
was on the steamer Wednesday morning
when Baltimore was reached, but has
mysteriously disappeared since then.
Mrs. Mary A. Jurnigan, 2o2s Wilkens
avenue, a sister of Miss Norris, and
her husband have made diligent inquiry
of the steamboat officials, but failing
to obtain any information, last night
placed the matter in the hands of the
police. Mr.. Jurnigan went to meet
Miss Norris but found that she had left
the boat apparently without anyone
noticing her. The missing young woman
bears good reputation, and her rela-
tives here believe she met with some
foul play. BALTIC. News, March 9.

Among the negative acts the body is

the primary. AS general principle,
it is best to leave the oyster subject

the great feat accomplished by
few thousand soldiers of the

of a bolo-a short, stout sword or

his distance and like the others use
the harmless mauser. lie could
have gotten his antagonist before
reaching within two miles of effective

We HAVE been urged by promi-

all that we could of results from the
Virginia Legislature, as it has been
almost impossible to gather from the
press reports what was done and
what left undone. Today we give a
large part of our space to Legislative
doings, sifted the chaff from the
wheat and added many points that
could be gained only from personal
intercourse and con tact with our law
making body, just dissolved. A
thorough perusal of what we today
write will post one pretty we'll ON
what has been done at Richmond
affecting this section, and it will not

The country-and especially the
agriculturists-will be subjects for
congratulation should Congress APP
prove action of the committee in
abollshing the free seed distribution

years ago had been tackled on to an
other bill at the suggestion, it is
stated, by members of the Board of

newspapers, it had become a law before
even many legislators were aware of it.
There was no better way to undo what
had been done than to follow the same
tactics. Mr.. Rev had a local oyster
bill pass the House and go to the Sem
ate. Senator Sears was found as one
willing to tack an amendment for
patent longs on to Rew's bill, and he
rs due the gratitude of the people who
wanted patent tongs. When the bill
as amended came back to the House
Mr.. Rev didn't know his own offspring.
His bill had been emasculated. and
nothing but the patent tongs clause
left. He pitched in with vipor to Kill,
the transformed skid, but Representa-
tive Curlett had laid his plans and. with
Speaker Cardwell's quiet help, won out
for patent tongs. In closing. we desire
to say to some who became doubling
Thomases because they did not see
notice in the Richmond papers or the
CITIZEN of patent tong bill being in
troduced, that had Messrs. Curlett.
Sears and other friends gone at it with
triumpets and brass band their cher
ished object would never have touched
bottom. Further, we must impress
them with the fact that although they
have the right to use these tongs for
two years anyhow, they should know
that at some future time their disuse
must be advocated. Like the bird law,
