FITZSIMONS SIGNS 10 FIGHT MAHER Meeting of the Eastern Base Ball League. EXCITING CONTEST LIKELY CLEARWATER CHALLENGED. Keogh Loxt Hix Nerve and the Pool Championship. - Fred. Tallman of Rochester, N. Y., has challenged W. H. Clearwater of Ravenna, Ohio, to play him a match game of pool for the championship of the world. A purse of $250 has been made up. When Clearwater won the championship at Syracuse Saturday it was announced that he would meet chal- lengers for a wager of $1,000 a side. ‘The chance to win the poo! championship of the world was lost by Keogh through a miscue, says the Syracuse Standard. Only needing three balls, and these spread all over the table where a novice might easily get them, Keogh’s nerves went back on him, and the boy who played one of the most daring and brilliant games ever recorded jumped his cue ball and lost the last hope of obtaining the world’s honors at pool. Clearwater was immediately pronounced the champion of the world, though he had given up the fight and had put up his cue. The wildest excitement ran through the large crowd which watched the game that meant the championship for Clearwater. Clearwater led at the opening of the series and when he stood with 104 balls Keogh was 19 behind. Four times Keogh, the Bingham- ton wonder, went into the bunch for com- binations that seemed almost impossible, and when he stepped back after maki: each successful shot the crowd was frantic. Great beads’ of perspiration stood out on Clearwater'’s forehead, while Keogh was ap- parently cool as_a cucumber. Then came the last frame. Keogh wanted nine balls. Clearwater wanted fiy Clearwater broke the pyramid and left a difficult long shot for Keogh. Keogh ran six balls, every one of them hard, and fell down on a cut shot to the corner that broke the bunch. Clearwater took a couple of easy ores and was in a position to win at that moment. But he failed and left the balls scattered all over the table. A wild yell went up from the crowd. Hats were waved in the air and pandemonium reigned for a minute. Three of the softest kind of shots lay exposed. De Oro was delighted. Keogh carefully studied a ball straight for the side pocket, but his cue bail jumped clean over it. Then Clearwater stepped to the front and won. The standing of the tourney at the close was: Won. Lost. 7 1 Clearwater 7 6 2 5 3 3 5 3 5 3 4 3 4 2 5 2 5 Clearwater was defeated by ex-Champion De Oro in one game. FITZSIMMONS AGREES. Signs the Articles for a Fight With *Peter Muher.

Springfield Awarded the Champion- ship for 1895 The annual meeting of the Eastern League of Professioral Base Ball Clubs convened yesterday at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York. The Springfield (Mass.) awarded the championship for ‘Applications for membership were receiv- ed from Fall River and Reading, Pa. There were no vacancies, and the circuit will re- main the same as last year. The delegates voted uranimously to x0 into class A of the rational agreement in- stead of B, so as to put them on the same footing with the Western League. The Eastern League will protest aga‘nst the National League clubs playing a player of the EWstern League after the Eastern League's season has closed, and they will demand that whenever the National League drafts a player from the Eastern gue he should be paid for within a rea- sonable time after the drafting. They place the limit of sixty days as being very lib- eral. BE WILL A GREAT GAME.

WERE NOT NOTIFIED. Trenton Wheelmen Explain Their Ap- parent Failure on the Relay Ride. The members of the Mercer County Wheelmen of Trenton, N. J., are very in- dignant at the reports that have been wide- ly published that they failed in their part of the recent military cyclists’ relay ride to New York. The statement was made that the relay rider Pryor arrived in New Brunswick tired out, and the pacers from ‘Trenton did not show up, and those who did knew nothing of the road, and it goes on saying a number of things that are det- rim.ental to the club. The truth of the matter is the relay schedule was too slow. The M. C. W. boys had received the schedule and instructed the pace makers to appear at the stated time, and no telegram was received no- tifyirg them that the relay was over an hour ahead of time. When Pryor’s wheel broke down Mr. Callowhill of the M. C. V gave him his wheel and walked back sev- eral miles with the broken wheel and sent {t to Washington for him. Harry Stahl. who left a few minutes behind the rider: reached New Brunswick ahead of them. He missed them by going over a different road. Lieut. F. P. Libbey has written to the M. C. W. thanking the club, in behalf of the relay riders, for courtesies shown, and assuring the club that it was not its fauit that the relay pacers were not on hand. Mr. Libbey also complained that the ride s scheduled for twenty-three hours, nat t nty-two, as published, and that the re- lay riders were one hour and forty-two minutes ahead. The riders, it will be re- membered, left here 7 a.m, Sunday and ar- rived at New York 4:48 a.m. Monday. x Miscellaneous Sports. Fred. A. Stewart, the champion pool play- er of Maryland, last night, in Baltimore, de- feated Dr. Peter Rogers of Washington in a match game for $50 a side by a score of 125 to 45. Stewart played a phenomenal game, missing but two shots out of the en- tire string. The special committee of the New York Yacht Club appointed to investigate the Dunraven charges is working hard. C. Ol- iver Iselin is also hard at work collecting testimony for this purpose. He a few days “go summoned Nat Herreshoff to his aid. and in response the designer and builder of Defender came to town yesterday from Bristol, R. I. H. Watkins, who piloted the Hoosier ball club to victory in the Western League lest season, has signed to manage the napolis team next seascn and is on the hunt for good men. Stanton Abbott and Billy Ernst met in the six round bout at the Paterson, N. J., Opera House last night. The Brooklyn boxer did excellent werk. Ernst got the decision Jimmy Anthony of Australia made his first appearance in this cocntry and gained decision over Daye O'Connor in an eight- round go. Tom O'Rourke, manager of George Dixon, has accepted Manager Billy Newman's chal- lenge on behalf of Frank Erne of Buffalo and posted a forfeit of $00 for a match of twenty-five rounds. O'Rourke says that the Erne people must put up a side bet of $1,500 against his $2,000, Showalter and Lipschutz. The thirteenth game of the chess match for the American championship between S.

The best-preserved specimen of a human body ever seen In this secticn was discov- ered by W.-M. Biff, a respectable farmer living about six miles from the city, a few days ago. He was fishing in Saluda river, and had pushed his beat up a creek, in which the water was lower than it has ever beer known to be before, becatse of the recently prolonged Grouth. He saw just above the top of the water what he took to be the foot cf a man, and upon nearer examina tion ne found it to be Such, but turning to stone. Ca z the kelp of neighbors, he dug the object out cf the bed of the creek, and found it to be the perfect form of a man who tad evidently been prepared for burial ‘and regularly buried, as his hands were d, the eyelids closed, the limbs laid out stiaight and the head in position.

The Noyes Library Receives Further Additiond—Pleasant Literary Exercises, The people of Kensington assembled in feree last evening at the new town hall on the occasion of the presentation of a por- trait of Mr. Crosby S. Noyes to the library which he four.ded and whieh bears his name. During the early part of the evening a party cf several amateurs from Washington en- tertained the audience with songs and reci- tations, which were followed by the serious business of the evening. Mr. B. H. Warner, in a happy speech, announced Col. Myron M. Parker es having an important an- rouncement to make. Mr. Parker said that those who made up the Washington of thirty years ago aid not picture to them- selves the possibilities of its suburban ex- -pansion, and the present growth of the city outward into Maryland was ah excellent irdication of prosperity. He spoke of the work of Mr. Warner in establishing the pretty suburb of Kensing- ton, and he laid particular stress upon his | public spirjt in donating a plot of ground and erecting a handsome building for the public library. “At this point,” continued Mr. Parker, “came into view one who was to give the library its name, Mr. Crosby 8S. Noyes, who jcined with Mr. Warner in making a gift of books to the people of Kensington that would become a monument to him in the minds of all who read them.” He gave a brief sketch of Mr. Noyes’ career and the upgrowth of The Star, and he paid a compli- ment to his editorship and then passed on to the presentation of his portrait by the . Miss Emma Morris. owing the presentation, Mr. Aiphonzo Hart, president of the Library Association, accepted the picture cn behalf of the library and in the name of the people of Kensing- ton. He expressed his regret at the sb- sence of Mr. Noyes from the meeting, and said that he had sent his regrets in the form of a check for $50 for the library fund. On motion of Mr. JF. Stoek, the audience passed a rising vote of thanks to Mr. Noyes. Through Mr. Warner, the Mbrary was presented with several valuable works re- lating to Maryland colonial history, by Mr. Lowdermilk. The evening's enter- tainment closed with further recitations, concluding with the presentation of the farce, “The Loan of a Lover.” Those par- ticipating in the literary part.of the pro- gram were Dr. Thomas Jones, Mr. William Lockwood, Miss Emma Morris and Miss Mary L. Lockwood. — THE LABOR BUREAU CLOSED. Reorganization Likely at the Federa- tion Meeting Tonight.

The fist which can deliver a harder blow than any other fist in the world belongs to Peter Maher of Dublin, and it may win him the champlonship of the world, a title presented to him by James J. Corbett, but declined by the Irishman, who prefers to gain It in the ring if he can. Sullivan in his palmy days was never able to drive a punching machine to the register’s limit. Maher has smashed two Known to or three of these registers, and that, too, witnout trying his best. Sullivan’s right fist is larger than Maher's, and it won him more money than Peter's has won, but Maher is young, and hopes to land a fortune with it before he gets through. As a two-handed fighter, the Irish cham- pion is thought to have few if any equals. His left is almost as effective as his right, and he has learned how to punch straight out, instead of swinging in the old wind- mill fashion, When Maher first came here in 18%), as a boxer he was not considered clever, but his hitting powers were the talk of Eng- land and Ireland, for he usually settled any ring encounters in which he figured with one punch. None of the heavy weights cared to tackle Peter. His friends put up $5,000 in cash, and challenged Sullivan for tw: that amount. John L. advised the new comer to get a reputation, and Corbett preferred to take Charley Mitchell on. Fitzsimmons, however, jumped at a chance to box Maher, That encounter was d. trous for the Trishman. As a boxer he was completely outclassed, and he was all but beaten in the opening round. Recovering. himself, however, he let his right fist go, and although the blow landed on the back of “! ‘s"” head, it anky Bob's’ came near settling the fight. Fitzsimmons was dazed, and Maher could have finished him easily had he been accustomed to the tricks of the ring. From that round on the New Zealander danced around Maher, jabbing him with the left as often as he pleased. Peter had never heard of this style of fighting in Ire- land and was completely. disgusted. After his defeat Maher dqtermined to take some lessons in boxing apd learn how to “side step.” “This pantomime style 6# fighting is not what I like,” he rematked, “but it seems to he popular, and I'll practice It myself.” - Maher's fists may glways be depended upon, for he has never injured them, and is consequently not hafidicapped, as Mitch- el and Corbett have been, by bad hands. It is a source of satisfactian to him, there- fore, to know that if be lapds with either fist his fight will not Ist {oo long to pre- vent him from participating in any theater party engagements he may’ have made. “I like to get through with my work as soon as possible,” says’the‘Irishman. “The Public don’t care for long fights.” eee ship. ew York World.

WHY WOMEN WEEP. It is Too Bad There is So Much Suffer- ing When There Need Not Be. Woman's troubles probably cause more misery in this world than all other misfortunes put together. Most women overtax their strength, most of them suffer from the strains of housebold and other cares, and it is no wonder that so many of them break down under the debilitating effects of high- pressure living. To every woman who values health end strength the experience of one who has passed through a time of suffering and discovered the way to re- covery cannot fail to prove of the highest interest. The story is briefly told in the words of Mrs. L. C. Miller of 524 N. 23d st., Philadelphia, who re- cently sald: “For many months T was a continual sufferer and felt completely worn out. At last I fortunately decided to try Duffy's Pure Malt Whis- key, which hud been recommended to me. Since then I have impr wonderfully, and feel de: cidedly better, sleep well, and at the samy time I am free to acknowledge TI do not experience that tired, weary, languid fecling—in fact, no one thing appears to be a burden to me now.’ Many of my friends are well pleased and fully convinced that there is no other stimulant that excels Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. My prayer and wish fs that it may reach the home of the aftiicted every- where.” ‘These words are convincing, because they are the result of experience.

The curious point is made by a writer in the Scientifit A'meriéan that if a channel of sufficient ‘Size and! depth were cut from the Caribbeas sea to’the Pacific ocean, the gulf stream*would flo longer flow across the Atlantic? and warm the shores of Europe, but “would pour into the Pacitic ocean. The islands forming the Caribbean sea act on the principle of a breakwater or dam, holding the water that has been forced into the sea b¥ the tides and trade winds, and cause the water to be higher in that sea and turn it into the Gulf of Mex- ico, which becomes the reservoir or foun- tain head, whence the gulf stream flows like a river from a lake, being the equal- izer of water as well as heat, and making its way in the direction of the greatest deficiency of that element. Further, warmth of this wonderful stream is ac- counted for by the fact that its waters are supplied from the tropics, the tide waves acting on the principle of an eddy, so it has counter currents aiso, this theory resting upon the assumption that the water is highee on the east than cn the west side of the Isthmus of Panama; and, the conti- nent of America being the great dam in the ocean that forms the gulf stream, by placing the continent of America so that it would lie east and west, there would be no gulf stream. — -eoe—___-—_ Promptly Explained.

From the Hartford Courant For some years the taste, or rather the fancy, of cigar smokers has run to light brands and spotted wrappers. This fancy has caused the price of light-colored Suma- tra tobacco to go away above dark colors in the same grades and brands. At first the fad was peculiarly American, and then there was not co much difference in the prices of light and dark Sumatra, for the dark colors could be disposed of to advantage in other covatries. But now manufacturers every- where want the lightest colors that can be cbtained. To meet this demand the growers of Sumatra have secured a lighter average color by cutting their tobacco earlier. Thus they obtain an advantage in color, but the quality of the tobacco suffers. But it has be anything to get light colors. Until recently, however, all attempts to give tobacco the much admired spots arti- ty have failed. The knowledge of that the spots have occurred naturally in the tobacco leaf, without the aid of man, has added to the value in which they are held. Various acids and other chemicals have been tried, but these, if they had any effect upon the tobacco, simply burned holes in it instead of producing the desired spots. It seems now, however, that these spots can be made artificially. A com- position fluid has been discovered which, when sprinkled on the growing leaves, will leave on the matured tobacco as beautiful spots as any which nature produces. At least one field of tobacco in Bloomfield was treated that way this year, and the owner has a lot of Connecticut wrappers which he expects to obtein a big price for, on ac- count of its handscme spots.
