Serbian War District
 May Be a "Klondike"

Saloniki, Nov. 12-The valley of the Pek, in northern Serbia, which the Germans occupied early in their Ser bian campaign may one day rank with kIondike, for most Serbians be- lieve that it is rich in gold. Though the main deposits have never been Io- cated, the peasantry for generations have made. 8 slender income banning of wash gold, coming, it is believed, from 9 rich quartz reef up in the hills.
 The total output of gold from the smaller placer workings has averaged about 15,000 a year for several gen. erations. Occasional nuggets of con siderable size have been found, and there is evidence that the Romans drew gold supplies from this region.

ORDER OF FOOLS

The first lodge of the Order of Fools which has a large membership in Europe in the fifteenth century, was founded 534 years 2 go today by Adol- phus, Count of Gloves. Although the society's name was not highly flatter- ing to it's members, it was a serious orga nization and similar in scope and purpose to the Odd Fellows. Masons and similar other fraterpal associa- tions The Order of Fools was com posed of noblemen and gentlemen of the highest rank, and the object of their organization was to carry on charitable work. The, insignia of this pioneer fraterna1 society, consisted of thge figure of a fool or jester embroid- cred on the left side 0 their mantles Annual meetings were held at Gloves, when matters relating to the welfare of the order were discussed very much after the manner prevailing in pre- sent-day fraterna1 conventions. The order fIourished in Germany until the sixteenth century when it seems to have 1anguished and died out.

MATER lIN ONE ROUND.

l Maspeth, N. Y., Nov. 12 1S95- Never since the opening of the Elm
 pire Athletic club arena has it been
 so dense1y. crowded as it was last
 night There were many representa- tiVes of the sporting element from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston Chicago and many other cities
 present to witness the long promised mill between Peter Maher,i the Irish
 champion. and Steve O'DonnelI, of
 Australia, who has for a long time been employed as Vim Corbett's sparring partner.
 In the betting. of which there was a goodf deal, Maher was the favorfte at 2 to 1. While the boys were preparing 2
 for the big bout a great cheer went
 up as Jim Corbett was seen to enter
 the arena. Charley White, who was
 training FftzsiInnons for the fight
 which never came off, was also at the
 ringside.
 Tim Hurst was announced as the referee and the boys entered the ring at 9 o'clock. O'Donnell was the first to enter the ring after Corbett had concluded making a speech. He was attended by Billy Delaney, Jim Nc Cabe and Denny Murphy. Maher fol- lowed a minute later. He was esquired by Peter Lowrey, Peter Burns and Buck Corneulius of Pittsburgh. Sud- denly three cheers for Fitzsimmons thundered through the arena as the lanky form of the Cornishman was seen entering the hall. Jack Mac Auliffe sat the ringside beside Maher and Billy Brady was close behind
 The fans did not have to wait long, as the men got together, and Maher. quick as lightning smashed his right on O'Donnel1's- jaw. O'Donnen fell like a log, but regained his feet as the referee counted seven. Maher gave him no quarter and fIoored the Aus
 raIian with another blow on the jaw with his right This time O'Donnell took the count of nine. The moment he got up Maher held him in the same corner and sent his left with a sledge- hammer force on the right jaw. O'Don nell fell flat on his back and after be- ing counted out had to be carried to his corner, while the referee announc- ed Maher the winner. Time 63 sec onds.
 Corbett jumped into the ring and pushed his way over to the victorious Irishnan and grasped him by the hand He later said that he would rather see Maher win the fight than anyone else.

Postmaster Urges
 Use of Registered
 Mail Service Here

According to Postmaster Greene, there is a tendency among the people of the city to use the special delivery mail where they want registered mail service. Letters or packages of value should always be registered and not sent special delivery.
 It, is easy to trace the registered mail, as each time that it changes hands a record is made of the fact whereas the special delivery mail travels with the ordinary mail and is only recorded at the office where it is received. Also there is no indemnity for lost special delivery mail as for the registered service.

FAIRFIELD ON NIGHT WATCH.

 It has been generally supposed that this city contained enough and suita- bIe men to fill all the offices necessary to carry on and sustain the local gov ernment in an orderly and excellent manner. This, however, seems to be a mistake.
 The present city council, in mak- ing up the night watch, were com pelIed to go to. Fairfield to fill out a compliment of only five watchmen, and selected one John R. Hu1l living in that town. Some of the faithful, who would like to act in that capac- ity. grumb1e at this, but that seems to be all that comes of it.
 Probably the next mayor, or at least some of the aldermen or counci1nen, will be selected in future from over the line. If this be the rule, why leave Stratford out in the cold? Let us have g. night or day watchman from the Hand of salt hay.''
