RICH DRAPERiEs.
The Uses to Which Beautiful Mexican
 ZeraPes May Be Applied.

There is nothing that adds tone to
 room like a bright-colOred Mexican zerape. They are suitable for pOrtieres and draperies or all sorts. The very
 wide ones may be used for table cov- CTS and the small ones' for boys, may
 be flung over the backs of chairs. Balke's Big Curio store has a large stock of them personally selected by
 MT. Bake in the course of his tour of Mexico last summer. Zerapes arc known by different names, the name being taken from the locality of their manufacture. Probably the best known ] is the Zacatecas zerape. Then, there are the zerIpes of San Miguel and 1 Guadalaj jara. The most famous of all | zerapes and the finest is the Saltillo. | Zerapes have been made in that vicin. I ity for centuries and the industry there ! is now known all over the world. Some i of the old Saltillos bring fabulous 1 prices. They frequently bring as much : as $500 apiece and they are hard to ! get at that. W. F. Deity, the mining ! engineer of this city. has one which | three times $500 would lbot buy. Speak i ing of it not long ago, he said he would ! put no price on it at all, and would not ! sell it at any price
 ] Every kind of zerape known may be [ found at the Big CuriO store at reas- | enable prices. Zerapes, like everything 1 else worth while have been Initiated l Those at the Big Curio store ar genu- inc handmade, as can be easily shown 1 They are alike on both sides. That IS
 there is no wrong side" and no right i side" The colors run through the tex | ture. an effect which cannot be accom- | plished by machinery either in the making of zerapes or any other fabric
 No two or the zerapes at the Big Curio store are alike It will pay tC
 see them even if one does not want ts buy.

 MAKE EVEN FIGHT
A Bloody Affair Which at the End of Six Rounds Left Both PugiIists Whipped to a Standstill

Philadelphia, Oct. 17.-Terry McGov- ern and Young Corbett fought a hard six-round bout at the National Attn lethic club tonight. When the gong an nounced the close of the battle there was little to choose between the fight CTS. The fight was one of the blood jest ever witnessed in this city.
 In the opening round, there was not a blow which did any damage. Me Govern, profting by his two previous battles with Corbett took no chances. At the opening of the second round, Corbett rushed and caught McGovern with a terrific right in the chin, which forced the latter to take the count of nine.
 When McGovern got to his feet, he rushed to a clinch and in so doing, he butted Corbett over the left eye. open ing a gash from which the blood flow ed in a stream. Tram this round to the finish the fighters Wer covered with blood.
 Matters grow worse fin the third round. After Corbett had missed three right swings for McGOvern's jaw he finally landed a hard right hook over the eye, opening a deep gash. Both men were we'll winded wHen the gong sounded at the end of the round.
 The fourth round was decidedly ir McGovern's favor. Time and again he would counter on the wind, as COrbett rushed in and in an occasional jab tC the face, opened up the damaged eye
 the blood from which partly blinded COrbett.
 The fifth and sixth rounds were about even but there was never a second that the men were idle. It was rush clinch, and swing from gong to gong each fighter using his best endeavoi to get in a knockout blow At thu 1 pace the men were going. it is doubtful | if either could have lasted two more rounds. McGovern was weakened by i Corbett's blows. and the latter wh' ! carried at least twenty pounds too much weight, was very weary from hi! ! own exertiOns.

case progressed reached the breaking point today and hot words of criticism passed. the crowded court room became demonstrative for the first time and the court sternly rebuked all concerned The collision resulted from the receipt of a telegram by the attorney general stating that the Manhattan oil com pany had today sold out to the Stand ard for $2,OOO.000. This was declared by the defense as a trick to influence the jury. The prosecution retorted that the matter would have never reached the jury had not MT. Kline mentioned the matter in open court. The incident closed by a severe admo- milton from the court. The jury was also told not to regard the matter.
