Governor Clarke Determined to Arrest Corbett, Fitzsimmons and Their Follower it is to take place in private for the side purse of $10,000, there will be no postpone- ment from Thursday, the date originally agreed upon. p The club, however, favors a fight in pub- lic, and if both sides agree to this time will be called at 1 o’clock on Monday or Tuesday. It is the consensus of legal opinion that both men once here the Gov- ernor will be powerless as to further inter- ference and that nothing can prevent the pair from fighting it out. Afterward they can plead guilty to a misdemeanor before the Justice, pay their fines and go scott free. While he has made no public ex- pression of his intentions it is not believed that Sheriff Houpt would underany cir- cumstances ask the Governor for military aid, and in the absence of guns and bayo- Arg., Oct about by the deter- larke that Corbett not contest for the 1 Arkansas, and the HOT SPRINGS, complication b mination of ( and Fitzsimmor ¢ chamj shall ip ally strc determination on the part of the ci committee and the Hot Spring: : Club that the men shall come together in the Ozarks is rapidly de- veloping, even t has not already de- veloped into a serious crisis. Things look squally tc it and mnobody seems to know what to-morrow will bring forth, ere is considerable foreboding s in store. if Booker of Pulaski County, tle Rock is situated, arrived here on the 6 o’clock train the latest move of the executive was made apparent. When Sh in which Litf n Booker brought with him a senled\ packet of papers with instructions to deliver them to Sheriff Houpt of this (Garland) County and to await the latter’s action. This package had been personally delivered to him by the Governor with orders to take the first train and return if vossible by the 8 o'clock train from Hot Springs fo-morrow morning. On his arrival he was met by Representative South of Baxter County, who is still here watching the movements of Brady and party, and the citizens’ committee in the | interests of the Governor and then pro- ceeded to the Sheriff’s offices. Thatofficial being just now on the Btate line awaiting the arrival of Fitzsimmons the package was delivered to and receipted for and opened by one of hisdeputies. Its con- tents were fourteen warrants, calling for the arrest of Corbett, Brady and their party and the production of each in lividual to-morrow afternoon at Little e warrants were based upon informa- n sworn out by Attorney-General Kings- worthy in precisely the same that employed yesterday in securing the pay or the arrest of Fitzsimmons, set- ting forth that the principals to the pro- pe t were about to engage in a con- test wherein might result the killing of or the other, and should therefore be hi to maintain the peace. Deputy Sheriff Tate was the only other at- tache of the office on hand, and to him the chief deputy turned over the papers for service. Tate took his time to think over the matter. Shortly after 8o’clock he ap- peared in the corridors of the Arlington, sought out South and Booker, and after a conference of fifteen minutes’ duration announced that he could not serve the warrants, for the reason that the men named therein were already in the custody | of the officials on warrants sued out by the land County Court. Booker, upon being satisfied that this was actually the case, accepted the situation at once and stated that he would make no further effort to complicate that situation by endeavoring to force the man- dates he had brought with him. The officers of the club have been antici- pating some such move as this on the part of the Governor and took the initiative toward checkmating it by procurng a warrant for Corbett’s arrest yesterday afternoon and having it served imme- diately. To-day e same line and as the sequel proved not many hours too soon. Along about 2:30a citizen, presumably opposed for the moment to prize-fighting, presented him- self before Justice Rapley and swore out warrants for the arrest of Manager Brady; Py J. J. Wheelock of Dallas, secretary of the | Florida Athletic Club; Joseph Vendigand the following attached to Corbett’s train- ing quarters: Joe Corbett (Jim's brother), John Donaldson, Billy Delaney, Peter Maher, Steve 0'Donnell and John McVey, together with “Mysterious” Billy Smith, who had arrived earlier in the day. Service was had at once upon the men | who were in the city, and for the rest of the day they were under the surveillance of the deputy Sheriffs, while another batch went to Spring Lake to take charge of the party at the training quarters. But for this move the nine individuals would have been gathered in and hauled off in the | mornine to Little Rock. Governor Clarke was mnotified to-night over the long- distance telephone by Attorney John M. Moore that his plans for the time being had been thwarted. Some other move from the executive mansion is expected to-morrow. Judge Moore, who is recognized as the head of the Arkansas bar, came over from Little Rock with Bheriff Booker. He re- fused to talk concerning his business, but he is evidently on hand to represent the Governor in any court proceedings that may result from the situation. News from the State line at Texarkana will be awaited with intense anxiety to- morrow. It wasnot until to-day that it became generally known that last night Sheriff Houpt started for the border line with warrants calling for the arrest of Fitz- simmons and Julian and their production in court at Hot Springs. The officers sent by the Governor from Little Reck bearing papers for the taking of the same individ- als and their arraignment in the capital were on the same train with the Garland County Sheriff and his friendly warrant, but when the train crosses the State line to-morrow it will be a race and a struggle between the two details of officers to which the two sets of papers have been entrusted and the best will win. Nothing was heard from Fitzsimmons or Julian during the day or evening, al- though numerous dispatches were sent to them en route, and an impression began to gain ground that perhaps they had de- cided after all to keep out of the State. Toward 8 o’clock, however, a dispatch was received from the United Press, stating that the party would leave San Antonio at 8 o'clock, and that Fitzsimmons had ex- ressed himself as expecting to meet Cor- Eeu in private on Sunday. This was read aloud in the packed rotunda and received with handclapping and exclamations of satisfaction. ft was the first substantial intimation that had been received that the Australian intended to live up to hisazree- ment and dissipated the unfavorable ex- pressions that had been created by the monotonous repetitions of his dispatch: *“1 will be there on the 31st.”’ The outlook is that if Fitzsimmons anguage as | some more business was done in | | nets the “I order you to disperse” of the | Sheriff would be about as effectual in | | stopping the first or any succeeding rounds | @s a blank cartridge would be in demolish- { ing the wall of China. { Corbett did hard training this morning, |and in the aiterncon he played eight | games of handball and then boxed fifty- | two minutes with Jim Daly, John Donald- | son and McVey, the latter being known at | the quarters as the *Terror,” on account of his stiff punches. Numerous visitors | came in from the city during the day and were o erably impressed with the | champion’s appearance. % | “Mysterions” Billy Smith, who is | matched against Ryan, arrived from Bos- ton to-day with a goodly retinue. He went |out to Spring Lake to finisn training. | Ryan will be here in the morning. | SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Oct. 20.—Bob Fizsimmons and varty arrived here to-day | at noon from Corpus Christi and left to- | night for Hot Springs. They will reach | Hot Springs to-morrow evening, and on | the following day Fitzsimmons will claim | his forfeit money. He informed The | United Press correspondent to-day that if the present plans are carried out he will ht Corbett in private. He refused to give the location of the place at which the fight will take place, but it was stated by a member of his party that it would be pulled off in the Indian | Territory, and that the principals and their friends would be taken to the battle- ground by special train from Hot Springs. Fitzsimmons stated that he would visit | Corbett upon his arrival at Hot Springs, and give the champion an opportunity of having an every-day scrap with him if the latter feels so inclined. Fitzsimmons is in the best of condition. HOPE, Azk., Oct. 20.—Fitzsimmons did not pass through Texarkana to-day that anybody knows of. When the westbound | train came in over the Texas Pacific from | | | and Deputy Sheriff Heard of Little Rock went through it, but failed to ind Bob. It was noliced that one compartment of a sleeper was locked, and this was not forced, as the trainmen assured the officers that it was occupied by a sick lady. A report was circulated that the Fitz- simmons party had left the train a few miles west of town and gone overland in a hack to a station east of town in order to evade arrest and so as to reboard the train. When this train left Texarkana the two officers, accompanied by the United Press reporter, went aboard, going as far as Hope, thirty miles distant. They wen west again to-night at 8 o’clock and will search the northbound train, which they will meet at Homan, half way between Hope and Texarkana. There is good ground for believing that Fitzsimmons’ baggage was on to-day’s train and the offi- cers are very hopeful that they will catch | Bob on to-night’s train. | Just as the train palled out from Tex- | arkana this afternoon Officer Heard re- | ceived a telegram from Governor Clarke, the closing words of which were: ‘‘Catch | Fitzsimmons or stop him regardless of | cost or consequences; don’t fail.”’ The prevailing belief is that Fitzsim- mons left the train somewhere west of Texarkana, with the intention of coming through to-night. LITTLE ROCK, ARk., Oct. 29.—Six telegraph operators and a number of | sports from St. Louis and Chicago passed | through the city this morning en route to Hot Springs. The operators came from the Western Union oftice at St. Louis. | The sports had tickets to the fight, and | they said a large number of prize-fight ad- mirers were close behind them. There will be a big crowd in the Vapor City by to-morrow night. A United Press viewed Joe representative Vendig, inter- | manager of the | Florida Athletic Club, by telephone to- | day. “We have nothing whatever to do | with the affair,” said he. *Fitzsimmons has not lived up to his contract. He has fluked. I do not believe Le will fight. The people here expect him to come to-morrow.” Then, sotto voce: *Do you know where | Fitzsimmons is? we are Very anxious to | know. Itissaid he is coming after his for- | feit money, but he won't get it.”” “Then you don’t believe there will be a | fight?” “No, but we are out of it altogether. Can’t tell what others may do.” Governor Clarke to-night said that he would see that Corbett and Fitzsimmons were kept apart. “Simply say they can’t fight in Ar- kansas” was his injunction to the United Press. Governor Clarke will leave for Hot Springs to-morrow morning. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 29.—Notwithstand- ing the many obstacles that seem to make | a meeting between Corbett and Fitzsim- | mons very doubtful, the sporting public are flocking to Hot Springs by every train. The advance guard of what to-morrow will be, an army of Southern tourists, filled the outgoing Iron Mouutain trains to-night to overflowing, and extra coaches were coupled on. Many of the local lights of the prize-ring, including the veteran Tom Allen, once champion of the world, Tom Kelly, Professor Billy Clark, the Dailys and Professor Bob Farrell left this evening. The latter, whoisa recognized authority on ring matters, and who trained and seconded Sullivan when he fought Ryan, is a probable referee of the coming battle. The train also carried a number of newspaper men. CINCINNATI, Onio, Oct. 20.—Champion James J. Corbett this afternoon sent to the Post the following message in reply to a telegram asking his opinion of the situa- tion at Hot Springs: ARLINGTON HOTEL, HOT SPRINGS, ARK. October 29. Editor Post—I do not think Fitzsimmons has any idea of meeting me. Idon’t think he will come here, but if he does he will throw every obstacle he can in the way of a fight. Iam positive he is going to crawl, and for my rea- sons I refer you to his actions up to date. JAMES J. CORBETT. Rey El Santa Anita Sold. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 29.—A dis- patch from St. Louis announces that Rey El Banta Anita, owned by E. J. Baldwin, has been sold to Richard Croker for $25,000. San Antonio, Sheriff Dillard of Texarkana | Mr. Croker, when seen to-day by a re- porter, acknowledged that he was nego- tiating for the purchase of Rey Bl Santa Anita, and would acquire the horse pro: vided he could do so at what he considered a reasonable figure, but he denied that the purchase had been consummated. e s THE EASTERN TRACKS. Betting Done on the Quict at the Morris Park Meeting. MORRIS PARK, N. Y., Oct. 29.—The bettors were on the alert to-day, and it was an utter impossibility for a detective or a stranger to place a wager, and the layers of odds only did business with men they were acquainted with. The jockey club has decided, it is reported, to license the proposed race meeting at the Pimlico track, near Baltimore. The meeting will begin November 11 and last eighteen days. The Saratoga management is back of the enterprise, it isunderstood. Six furlongs, Bon Ani won, Titmouse second, Sagamore third. Time, 1:15.

LINCOLN, NEBr., Oct. 29.—Less frigid weather and an absence of wind had the | effect of slightly increasing the attenaance at the races to-day. Every heat in the three events was warmly contested. The bookmakers did a_thriving business, but with neither side far ahead. Dempsey proved a disappointment in the 2:15-class pace. He had been backed well to win, ing going to Agennon. Trilmont and The Conqueror, the favorites in their re- spective classes. won without trouble.

Y., Oct. 29.—Magis- trates Crane and Kudlich in the Essex Market Court yesterday began examination into the cases of the Morris | Park racetrack arrests made last Thurs. day for alleged violation of the anti- gambling laws of the State. The cases against the judges, Robert M. Simmons and Clarence McDowell, were dismissed on | motion of Lawyer Nteinhardi for the prosecution. Then Charles J. Fitzpatrick, the clerk of the scales, was discharged from custody, as there could be no case | made out against him. Delancey Nicoll moved in behalf of the bookmakers that they be discharged, but his motion was denied. Later, however, it was decided to make a test case against one of the bookmakers and with this end in view Orlando Jones and his clerk, Sturgis, were by common consent made the defendants in the test case. The cases against the other bookmakers were dis- missed. b L~ FINAL ACTION RESERVED. Baldwin and His Controversy With the Jockey Club. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 29.—At a meet- ing of the stewards of the Jockey Club this evening,which was attended by Messrs. Bel- mont, Keene, Knapp, Hitchcock and Thompson, the following resolution was adopted : WHEREAS, The action of the stewards of the Westchester Racing Association in refusing the entries of the Santa Anita stable under article 2 of therules of racing at the course of tfnl association being final, ana a further hearing having been granted by the stewards of the Jockey Club to Mr. Baldwin, who attended with counsel and witnesses, it is hereby Rezolved, That further investigation shall be pursued by the stewards ot the Jockey Club, and final decision be reserved. i s Smith Lowered a Record.

Honors Fall to McZeus, Lady Grace and Javlin in Well-Contested Events, LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 29.—There was a fair-sized crowd at the track this afternoon, and a better day for racing could not be wished for. The first event was the four-year-old trotting. Stamboul Belle had the pole, but it availed her little. Jasper Paulson forged to the front and had things his own way to the three-quarters when McZeus began to push his nose gradually forward. At this point Rex Gifford came along ata tremendous speed and appeared destined to win, but broke. McZeus came in first, | Jasper Paulson second and Rex Gifford | third. Time, 2:17. There were seven starters and Silver Bee was distanced. 1t was an exciting race, and there was much | enthusiasm. In the succeeding heats the order in the first was maintained. The next event was 2:30 trotting. It was a close race in the first heat between Lady Grace and Native State, and Native | State breaking at the drawgate gave the | heat to Lady Grace, with Native State second and Charivari third. Time, 2:17. Lady Grace won the second and third heats, with Native State second and | Charivari third. Time, 614 and 2:154. | The great event was t| pacing for | three-year-olds. Roan Wilkes was the favorite. Hal Corbett took the pole, but | could not win. Javlin and Roan Wilkes | had a blanket race from the three-quarter | pole and came down the stretch at a 2:08 pace.

The announcement was made by Captain Cochran to-day that hereafter men must report for practice at4 o’clock on the “gridiron” instead of at 5 p. . This is due to Camp’s advice, he being, as Tue CALL stated several days ago, strong | in the belief that the players should be at | work at least two hours daily. After a time there will also be morning signal | practice. The practice game last evening was one of the best yet plaved. There was some show of intelligence and team work, which has heretofore been conspicuous only by its absence. Some of the players met with slight bruises during the game, which will keep them off the field for several days. A common complaint heard is that the play lacks quickness and vigor; signals are given too slowly. Camp expresses himself heartily in favor of a snappy game, but says that accuracy should not give way to rapidity. He would prefer sure playing, without fumbling, even thongh it were slow, to cyclone playing, where the ball was dropped at critical periodsand the game was unreliable generally. Some of the footballers are so well satis- fied with themselves that they appear very irregularly on the field, which is going to work hardship on the team if persisted in. ‘There is general satisfactiouover the train- ing-table fare, which is much superior to that given the men last year. The freshnien are working faithfully un- der Cn{nain McIntosh, and will make as good showing as possible against Berkeley. No one expresses contidence in a freshman | victory, for the light weight of the men al- most precludes the possibility. Berkeley will easily outweigh Stanford freshmen ten pounds to a man, but the latter will put up as good a game as they can. e e Went Out in the Fourth. TOLEDO, Omro, Oct. 29.—The fifteen- round exhibition at the Oly ‘mpic Athletic Club here to-might between Frank Gar- rard of Chicago and Billy Steffers of Cleve- land came to an abrupt conclusion in the fourth round, when the Cleveland pugilist was knocked completely out. Steffers was clearly outclassed. | e Stanford’s Tennis Champions. =~ STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Oct. 29.—The finals in the gentlemen’s doubles at tennis_resulted in avictory for Picher, '98, and Freeman, '99, over § 97, and Arnold, '95. Score Harvard Refuses to Enter. NEW HAVEN, Cox Oct. 29.—Yale has been notified that Harvard has refused to enter the annual gun club shoot this fall, in which Yale and Princeton have entered. Erecrricrry 1N TuRkey.—The Turks have a great dread of electricity, the heathenish discovery of the Giaours, but he Sultan has so far torn himself from the prejudices of his peovle as to permit his Ministry of Marine to conduct a series of experiments with electrical projectors. In the face of this concession it seems pos- sible that an opening may be found for commercial electric-lighting in the coun- try of the Osmanl. Asa matter of fact, he Sultan’s advisers are understood, under a heavy pressure of baksheesh, to be willing to place the matter before the Caliph in a favorable light, but to this there is a decided set-off in the fact that some of the royal family are extensive shareholders in the local gasworks. Some time ago the agent of an enterprising American firm approached the representa- tive of the Sultan with the idea of develop- ing telephone work in Turkey. As soon as the Sultan got a giimmering of what the telephone was he firmly declined to allow a single instrument in his domains. His explanation was that if the Turks once had access to such an instrument they would be plotting revolutions in every town and in every street of the town. An amusing incident is told by a well-known correspondent of his experience in one phase of Turkish official life. He received an elaborate note from the department of the censor of Constantinople. The censor informed him that in order to make a message more accurate and explicit ten words had been added to the telegram which had been sent from the department the previous night, and the correspondent was asked to remit $2 to pay for the added words. Knowing well that it 1s useless to protest in Turkey, the correspondent sent the money, but at the same time respect- fully suggested that if the censor would write his message entirely and merely for- ward him the weekly cabie bill it would save him much unnecessary trouble. The censor is taking time 1o consider whether this offer is serious or sarcastic. — Recently the wife of a dwarf named Morris gave birth to twins in Bleanavon, North Wales. Morris is only thirty-five inches in height and his wife is even smaller in stature. They were married at Barthomley Church last Christmas and have since been traveling through the country as General and Mrs. Small, being the smallest married couple in the world. The mother and infants are doing well. Russell, w! ho wrote ‘“‘Cneer, Boys, will be 83 Y Barry years old Christmas eve.

Rosebud Beat Sir Richard and Equaled the Coast Record for Six Furlongs. ~ Cash Sloane, a brother of Tod’s, arrived from the East yesterday and witnessed the racing | irom the ground. He has been riding at Oak- ley, and will be seen in the saddle ere long. Caliente, the winner of the third race, is & full brother to the Nevada stable’s Uncle Giles. As a yearling he was small, but he has devel- oped into a fine-looking youngster. | Mr. Grant, manager of Theodore Winter's | stable, left for Reno last night to attend to the | shipping to San Francisco of the Rancho del | sierra yearlings that are to pass under the | auctioneer’s hammer next month. | Thomas Murphy, the well-known farrier, | formerly plater for Palo Alto Stock Farm and | E. J. Baldwin, has been appointed paddock in- | spector at the Bay District track, the position | formerly held by Ed Greany. Mr. Murphy has | long been identified with the turf, end should | ably fill the position to which he has been assigned. | Hugh Jones, the well-known pencler, did not cut-in yesterday. “Hughey” sald he thought he would stay down on the ground for a few days to see if his luck, which has not been of the best lately, would change. After the first race he remarked that he was glad he did, for said Hughey: “They would have had my bank-roll.” Henry Wendt, a layer of odds, said that Fi Fi “had never shown him anything in the East,” and whenever he took s wager in on him, Henry said his mind reverted to the subject of Christmas presents. The race is said to have cost him $1000. sam Merriwether, who owns Pi Fi, won $2000 over the horse’s victory, and Abe Steln, | who grew tired of bookmaking, won almost & like sum on the brown horse. For awhile the bookmakers were afraid they were going to get caught on nother outsider. In the second race Valiente was backed down from 10 to 2} to1,but finished third. Mr. Macdonough was one of the horse’s support- ers, his coin principally causing the cut in the odds. At the conclusion of the races the stewards held a meeting to further investigate the charge of buying up a horse preferred against Dan Williams and his charge, Jockey Cheva- lier, by Abe Stein. Nothing definite was ac- | complished, the investigation being laid over until to-day. The stewards, however, decided upon pessing more stringent rules in regard to the jockey’s room and saddling paddock, | which they will frame to-day. There was nothing in the past race record of Fi Fi, a brown gelding, by Hi- dalgo, to convey the impression that he would ever be the medium of a “killing,” but time works wonders, and the result of the first race yesterday will linger long in the minds of some of the nine bookies that were up on the block. The race was a seven-furlong selling affair with but five starters. Ida Bauce was an even money favorite, with Gold Dust a warm second choice. In the opening betting Fi Fi was quoted at30to 1. When a few straggling fives and tens began going in on him the pen- cilers looked upon them as a joke and seemed hungry for more. At post time 9 to 1 was still obtainable. Ihe flag fell to a good start, with Fi Fi soon showing in front, followed by Gold Dust. The latter grew tired early, giving second place to the favorite. The first five furlongs were rat- tled off at a very fair clip, and asthe horses turned into the stretch the outsider was still holding his own. On the trip to the wire he tired bad!y and looked as though he would like to stop and take a rest, but managed to hold on long enough to beat the first choice out a length in 1:293{. Gold Dust, whorana very poor race, was a distant third. Sev- eral thousand dollars were taken out of the ring over the victory. The rest of the day the bookmakers were very chary of play- ing on an outsider. Of the six races on the card, first choices were successful in but two. The chilly weather drew out but a fair-sized crowd of racegoersand the betting was light. Castanette, a full sister to Carmel, won the second race, a five-furlong scramble for maiden two-year-olds, with ease from San Marcus, starting a 1 to 2 favorite. She led almost from the drop of the flag. Donahue’s ride on Nic Nac, the 8 to 5 favorite for the next race, also a five- furlong dash for maiden youngsters, did not please the critics. He managed to get into a couple of pockets and finished second to Caliente, backed from 5 to 3 to 1. Whether his mount could have beaten the El Rio Rey colt is doubttul, for he drew away in the stretch and won handily in 4 The defeat of Oakland in the mile selling dash was a most expensive one for the talent. He was backed from 8 to5to 4 to 5, and beaten through McKnight making his run too soon, added to an attack of razzle-dazzleness in the stretch. Silver led the field to the stretch, tarning for the wire with a lead of two lengths, the favor- ite, who had been rushed from last to second place, a head in front of Tar and Tartar.” The favorite soon passed Silver, but was in turn passed by Hy Dy. on which Riley, after beiug cut off and falling back, reserved his horse for the stretch and won_cleverly b’Iv half a length from Oakland in 1:413{. Tar and Tartar rana good race, finishing in third place. The fifth race, at five furlongs, for mem- bers of the two-year-old division, went to the even-money choice Monitor, who led all the way and won by a length with little to spare from the 15 to 1 shot Encino. Cardwell, backed from 5 to 1 to14to5, was beaten out for third place the last few jumps by Suffrage, a 10 to 1 chance in the ring. Pitted against Rosebud and Sir Richard in the last race, over the full six-furlong course, Morven appeared sli§mly out- classed, and he cut but a small figure in the betting. The first two named sprint- ers opened at even money and your bpick, around post time the gray horse having the call at 4 to 5, with 6 to 5 against the Burns & Waterhouse em?;. Rosebud was first away, and, shaking Morven off after oing a quarter, won driving from Sir ichard by a len, L time. She carried but ninety-nine pounds in the saddle.

The proprietor of a small summer resort hotel in Virginia, as a Star man was told, has more or less trouble with his colored neighbors, who have their weaknesses, as who of us have not? One day Uncle Sam came up with six nice chickens to sell. “How much are they?” inquired the landlord. *‘One dollar for the lot, boss.” The landlord looked them over carefully, not to say suspiciously. ‘““Ain’t these the same chickens I bought last week?” he inquired. “Not dat I knows on, boss,” replied the old man, just a little disturbed. *‘Has you been losin’ any poultry here lately 2’ “I have, and 1 lost these. Did you steal them?” “Fo’ the Lawd, no sah, boss; 'deed I didn’t.” The landlord was not in an argumenta- tive mood. “Well, ail I've got tosay is they are mine and you can give them up or go to jail, whichever you choose.” “But I didn’t steal dem pullets, boss,” in- “You heard what I said,” was all the landlord would “I' Uncle SBam laid the chickens down on the ground and began scratching his head. “I didn’t steal dem chickens, an’ I doan’ wanter go to jail,” he said with great de- liberation. Tho landlord waited. *‘I spec, boss,” he proceeded slowly, ‘“‘you better done take um. Dey wuz out in de woodshed when I got up inde mawnin’ an’ I never axed um no questions; jes’ picked um up and fetched um 'long wid me. Dey’s a pile er niziers 'round here wot makes it powahful hahd fera po ol’ sinnah like I is ter stand ag’in der shovin’ and scroughin’ an’ keep in de middle ob de Good evenin’, boss,” and as the old man slipped around the corner he kicked himself for taking the wrong lot of chickens from hiscollection.— W ashington Star.

Went Down to Arizona, Saw the Sights and Has Returned. Some Interesting News From a Man Who Has Traveled. Among the country people in the East izona is still regarded as one of “the wildest and wooliest” places that this enlightened republic holds as part of its territory. But the Arizona of to-day— though it may still occasionally claim attention because of some slight divergence from what may be called **Sunday-school manners”—is not that man-hunting, reck- less devil-may-care country which has so often been described in fairy tales that touch the gentle ear of the average East- erner with a thrill of holy horror. Out in this_benighted region (which, however, has been found to be in truth “God’s own country”), it is not uncommon for people who have the leisure to go down to ‘““Arizona” for a holiday, or when it is necessary to recuperate in a dryer or a warmer clime. One gentleman who has just come from there could without doubt give some very interesiing information about the great Territ for he is a man of keen observation. Reference is made to 8. M. Hooker, who is now in Los Angeles. Mr. Hooker had the misfortune to get an attack of most malignant catarrh, which was o far reaching in its effects that it nearly destroyed the whole of his nervous system, but” he applied to the great specialists at the great Hudson Medical Institute—that wonderful establishment for the cure of all the iils to which humanity is beir, and, of course, the great specialists there very speedily effected a cure in his case, as they do in all other curable cases. Mr. Hooker thus expresses himself about it in a letter to the manage= ment: Los ANGELES, July 30, 1895. Hudson Medical Institute, San Francisco— Gentlemen: Your letters reached me, being forwarded from Arizona to me here. Ihave not filled out the blank, as I found it was une necessary. 1fe8 now as though Iam a cured and a well man, and I have gained ten pounds since I came here—just a month ago. Iam very grateful for what you haye done for me. I ought to have written i you before, but have not had time. I had a splendid time in Arizona since I wrote you last. Respectiully yours, E 1O0OKER. This is an encouraging letter, for Mr. Hooker was in a most serious condition when he placed himse!f in the hands of the specialists of this grand institution, but it is matched in tone daily by hun- dreds of similar expressions of gratitude from cured patients, a whole room at the institute being devoted to testimon E. W. Fowler of Kamele, Or., say feelin; to feel F. Minturn of St. Louis, Mo.: “I desire to ex- press my sincere thanksfor the careful and conscientions manner in which my case has been treated 7 A. Burton of : “Your medicine did me lots of good, and I will send for some more.” K. C. Taft of Stowe, Cal.: “I am feeling fine, without the sign of disease now.” ‘When thousands tell the same story can you longer doubt the skill of these mary ous specialists? In each instance you will find that the peopie say that they have Leen CURED. Then, as” soon as possible, if you are ill at all in any way, go to the JDS| EDICAL INSTITUTE, for there you be certain to find help, and you won’t waste any money either. 3 1 am £ood now asit 13 possible ior a man All the Following (ases Are Curabls: Catarrh of the head, stomach or bladder; all onal nervous dis- shakin palsy all kinds of blood of vital forces: rhenma- 1-polsoning ; and prostra- 1 spinal_trouble tion: incipient’ paresis: all kidne eases: ln bago; sciatica: all bladder troubl epsl indigestlon; constipation; &il visceral disorders, which are ‘treated by the depurating department.
