FlTZ WANTS ANOTHER
BOUT WITH JEFFRlES

NEW YORK, January s.-Bob Fitz-
simmons cannot remain inactive with the
talk of $50, 900 purses constantly ringing
in his ears. He has just leaped into the
limelight with an offer to tackle James
], Jeffries again for $4,000, OF which
$4,000 can 60 to clarity.
Fitz says he would be sure OF q good
losers end, and that even II defeated, no
would guarantee to put up a more inter-
esting argument than Squires, of Aus
tralia: Tommy Burns or Jack o'Brlen.
Robert. incidentally. expresses a desire to
meet O'Brien again. and says that he
would also jump at a chance to tackle
Burns.
When o'Brien beat Fitzsimmons on
the coast there were many critics at tho
ringside who said that the battle had a
queer look. Some oil them went so far
as to %insinuate that Fitz got all the
money for stopping OF his own record,
while O'Brien secured enough notoriety
to make him q better drawing card on
the road.
Fitz has not taken part in a ring con-
test since, and many light fans have been
led to believe that ht was through with
the game. In view y the fight o'Brien
put up recently aga nst ,Burns, another
meeting between the nged Cornishman
and the crafty Philldelphian might be
OF passing interest.

and, in fact, keeps ones hair on end
during his entire act. His limitations Of

Besides his regular performance on

WAGNER HERE FOR
RACES IN F[0R|OA.
Winner of Vanderbilt Cup Will
Compete in South With Trophy
Winning Car.

NEW YORK. january S.-Louis Wag-
ner,. winner of the last Vanderbilt cup
race in q Darracq racing machine Of
lo-horse power, arrived in this country
yesterday on the French liner Bretagne
to compete in the Florida speed carnival
at the end of this month. He brought
with him the disappointing news that the
2oo-horse power Darracq car with which
Denleogeot established the marvellous
record of two miles in IS 4-5 seconds on
the Florida beach last winter will not be
brought here for the Ormond meet.
This car Is now the property of A. Lee
Guinness, of London. who had planned to
cross with 1t for competition in Florida.
Business engagements have detained Mr..
Guinness abroad. and he declined to have
the eight-cyclinder machine come without
him.
Wagner expressed the opinion that the
Vanderbilt cup car will be fast enough
to hold its own with rival competitors
In the South. This car Won the cup race
OF 29I miles over Long Island roads in
four hours fifty minutes and ten and two
fifth seconds. 1t will show much greater
speed on a straightaway level course,
and Wagner is Of opinion that 1t will
rpa the record achievement of the
ejght-cylinder Darracq.
Wagner will leave for the South after
viewing the automobile show in Madison
Square Garden. on Saturday night. Tho
Vanderbilt cup winning car is to be en-
hibited In the Garden for a few days.

This was determined at a meeting this

sentatives OF six prominent commercial

tee. which consists OF the newly-elected

the Exposition Grounds Thursday morn
ing. and endeavor In tie course OF the
day to rent a suitable size for the build
ing, for which purpose they are authorized
to spend $500.
The probable dimensions of the build
ing will not exceed 30 by 60 feet. but this
will be in all ways adeauate for what
1t is intended. The outside cost of the
building will be about $1,000.

Overcoat Cost Twenty-Five Cents

SSSiSOdt SCSI twenty-five Cents,
In a moment of extravaganza to-day.
Andrew jackson Seaman. the Omaha
tax-tttle king, who lives on seventeen
cents n day and Is worth 500. 900 or more.
bought an overcoat for twenty-five cents.
Then realizing what n %spendthrift he
had been the tax-title king tried to make
up for his departure from his rigid rule
of economy by saving a few pennies on
another part of his attire. He needed a
nat. so sought for one in the rubbish
heaps near his home. After a search
through many he finally fished a ragged,
discarded cap out of a heap and put It on.
Thus alfred, the eccentric rich man
went to his office and boasted to his
friends that he had procured a new
~overcoat and cap for twenty-five cents.
Unlike other misers. Seaman laughs over
his niggardliness.
What pleased him most was the fact
that his new" overcoat cost him ten
cents less than the one he has worn for
several years. A year ago he clothed him
self from head to toe for s1.65. His coat
cost thirty cents: trousers. sixty cents:
hat, fifteen cents: vest, ten cents, and
shoes fifty cents.
With q fortune at his command Seaman
selects to live In a cold, barren room in
the suburbs. He pays fifty cents a weex
for the room and spends bou ten cents
a day for food. 1t is an extraordinary
event when he buys clothing.
He earned the name of tax king by at
tending delinquent tax sales He always
invests thousands OF 6%ellGrs, and claims
to hold more titles than any other man II
the city.

Ratskins for Gloves

A glove manufacturer took from q cab
met the other day a handsome pair OF
brown gloves.
"Ratskin.' he said. These gloves are
made of ratsldn. They look well at first
glance. but examine them carefully. Look
into the skin.
The skin. though soft and fine and sup
pie, revealed on close examination a great
many cuts and scars and scratches. None
of these went quite through; neverthe-
less their effect was to weaken the gloves
greatly.
Those cuts and scars said the manu-
facturer. '.are what bar ratskins out of
~glove-naking. You never get a skin with
out them. Hence you can't make a good,
strong, perfect ratskin glove.
These scars ara the result of the rats
p~ugnacity. Rats fight SO much that they
become at an early age a mass of scars.
Their torn hides are of no use to COM

TERRY NJ GOVERN's
P|T|ABLE PLIGHT
Once Great Little Fighter Has
General Paresis in It's Worst
Stage.

NEW YORK, January S.-All hopes
for even the partial recovery of Terry
McGovern from his insanity was blasted
to-day, when DIR. Giyens. In whose SAM
tarium in Stamford. Conn, the little fight
er is confined. stated that Terry is In
durable.
The is no hope for him." said DR..
Giyens. "He is dead mentally now, and it
will not be long before he is physically
dead"
Terry has general paresis in Its worst
stage. His brain is incurably affected from
the result of his ~debauches during the
pas, few years. and he was in such a
condition to-day that even his wife was
not permitted to see him. The latter is
still at her home in Brooklyn, but heard
this morning that Terry was considerably
worse. and tried to get permission to see
him. 1t was denied because of his pitlable
plight, and the fact that a visit OF Johnny
Burdick, his chum and former sparrtns
partner. had excited him.
Burdick journeyed to Stamford to see
the former fighter. believing that Nc
Govern would soon be cured and that
the day was not far off when he would
be back In the ring fighting to regain
the laurels first wrested from him by
Young Corbett.
When Burdick saw McGovern he rea-
lized his condition. A little weakened up
chap came before him, laughing hilarious
ly, talking incoherently, and as he walked
there was q weakness about his move
ments that at times made him stagger.
His clothes hung about him like bags,
his cheeks were ashen II there was no
sign of life's blood In his lips.

sYsoNBY IN ACTION.
Skeleton of Great Horse Will Be
Mounted in His Stride.

NEW YORK, January s.-Oficials of
the American Museum of Natural His
tory have finally decided to ave the
bones Of Sysonby, James r. Keene's
great race-horse. which died early last
summer of a virulent skin disease,
mounted as showing him in his stride.
When the mounting is completed the
horse will be placed in the wing of the
museum where Elmer Wilkes, the trot-
ter. is on exhibition. DIR. s. II. Chubb,
PSYCHOLOGIST of the museum, is preparing
Sysonby's bones. Professor Herman c.
Bumpus, director. said last night:
I'VE nave decided to have the great
est race-horse Of his day appear as II
he was racing and striving his hardest
to win. For that reason Sysonby will be
mounted in his full stride"
The bones have been disarticulated. but
the mounting of the skeleton will be a
long. tedious undertaking. Dr. Chrbh
has decided to make repeated visits to
the race-tracks and take instantaneous
photographs Of thoroIghbreds galloping.
This will be done so that the pose and
movement of the racers can be carefully
studied. When DR.. Chubb has studied
sufficient to prepare the skeleton he will
be able to show sysonby as If at top
speed.
Sysonby was buried about two months
before disinterment, and In consequence
autopsical results we're not complete. DR..
Chubb found. however. that the horse
had lungsNof great power and depth, and
the so-called cannon ZONES, between the
knee and ankle. were unusually long and
slender, typical Of q racer. DR.. Chubb
said that the public will be surprised
when the mounting is complete to find
the position in which sysonby's feet VIII
be placed. He said the ordinary Idea
