There were only two hitches | in the course of the afternoon's de-| bate. The first one, which amounted | to nothing whatever, took up more | than the second, which was vital and | important. Sammy Berger, jealousy | guarding the interests of his princi- pal, insisted on playing Jeffries’ name first in the articles. Little, Johnson’s manager, would not agree to this, and there was a deadlock for several minutes while the great men squab- bled. The second hitch came when the division of the purse was men-! “How do you want to divide the | | purse kid?’’ asked Little of Johnson. | “Any way will suit me,"’ answered | “Winner take all is good | “How about that, The retired champion cleared his Jeffries Wanted It Winner Take All. ed to fight, winner take all, 75 and 26! {or 60 and{ 40.

Johnson hesitated for a few seconds. ‘T'll fight, winner take all, but 1 don’t want that side bet. Let's bet! the $5,000 we already have posted. | Is that agreeable, Mr. Jeffries?” | Jeff then took some time to get his mighty brain into action, and after some time remarked: “I'd like to get that $20,000,’’ said | he, grinning. “Yes, and I don’t want you to get| son, showing his teeth. “Tl fight you any way you say,” said Johnson, ‘‘winner take all.’’ » “How about it, Jeff?’’ said Berger. “All right, it goes,”’ said Jim. Then Mr. Little oozed himself into | “Now, hold on,’’ said he, ‘I ain’t| going to eat any snowballs next win- | ter if this fight should happen to go wrong. Let’s make this thing 75 and 95.” “All right,’’ said Johnson quickly; | “anything suits me.’’ “All right,’’ said Jeffries. ‘‘That) $5,000 we already have up—that goes | as side bet?’’ “Yes, that goes,’’ said Johnson. Fight to Take Place Before July 5. The rest of the afternoon’s work was easy. Bids are to be opened one month from date and the best one is to be selected. The men are to fight some time before July 5. It was plain from the conversation at the table that neither man cares to fight outside of this country and all prep- arations were made looking toward the acceptance of a California bid. Two forfeits of $5,000. were posted which were added to the $10,000 the men already have up—which is to go | as a side bet—and from the business- like tone of Friday afternoon's pro- ceedings there is no question that the match will be held. If one man de- faults his $5,000 is to be immediately | turned over to the other.

New York, Oet.—News of the ac- tivity of the customs officers at this port apparently has been received by American§ abroad in more or less dis- torted form, judging by a letter re- ceived by Mayor McClellan from a woman in Paris and turned over to Collector of the Port William Loeb, jr. The letter says in part: “7 am in receipt of letters telling of pinching, poking and being personal- ly felt of. If anyone attempts to in- sult me in that way I intend, to the best of my ability, to knock him down, and I ask for police protection in so doing. “There is no other land on this globe in which a decent woman is not perfectly safe. I have been in nearly every country on the globe and have met with consideration, kindness and respect. “It is in only coming home that I am afraid, and I ask again for police protection.” The letter is signed simply ‘A Wo- man Artist in Ps WHY SALVES FAIL TO CURE ECZEMA. They Clog the Pores---Only a Liquid Can Reach the Inner Skin. Since the old-fashioned theory of curing eczema through the blood has been given up by scientists, many \ different salves have been tried for skin diseases.

He wished to secure exact information concern- ing the movements of the Federal Army in Middle Tennessee. To ob- tain this he despatched four private soldiers into the enemy’s lines. The duty was a hazardous one. Before going, the scouts selected were told ,that the chances were small for any of them getting back alive. Of these the boy of this story succeeded in ob- taining most important information. le had counted every regiment and all the.artillery in the sixteenth corps, found out they were moving on Chattanooga, and had in his saddle Seat fulland complete maps of the fortifications at Nashville and other points and an exact report of the Fed- eral Army in Tennessee when he was captured by the Seventh Kansas Cav- alry. General Dodge, the Federal general in command at Pulaski, cor- rectly surmised that some one close to him had been traitorous, for the | papers were taken from table. The boy refused to answer any questions put to him. He was given every opportunity to gain his freedom, General Dodge himself of- fering it to him if he would disclose the name of his informant in the Fed- eral lines. He refused. He was courtmartialed, condemned and hung ;asaspy.

However, we cannot say that. this argues against civilization, although it must be said that wherever the white man has come in contact with the savage gotten the worst of it.
