CALL, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1891 e N el e T e e B8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CARSONITES HAVE ON THE FIGHT Report That Stuart Has Fixed Upon a Battle- Ground. Rejoicing in Nevada’s Capital Over the News of the Victory. Champion Corbett Stops at Denver Whi.e on His Way to San Francisco, CARSON, Ngv., Feb. 8.—Nevada’s capi- tal 1s rejoicing to-night over & report that it has been selected as the site for the Corbett-Fitzsimmons battle-ground. A story that has been circulated throughout the city is to the effect that a person close to Dan Stuart anneunced to-day that im- mediately upon the monager’s arrival he would make public his final decision in favor of Carson About 100 people gathered at the depot this morning expecting Dan Stuart to ar- rive. They waited in vain. Stuart is atill a-coming, and thereis no positive assur- ance that he will be on hand for several daysyet. He is taking his time about it, | and waile he may loom up as large as life to-morrow morninz he may not be here before Sunday. Heis not a man who runs a brass band shead of him when he trav- els Cerbett telegraphed to his agent, Cooke, that he would train only at a spot of the same altitude as that where he will fight. Cooke was about town getting altitudes. Despite the report that this city had been fiyed upen by Stuart, Cooke don’t know yet whether he is measuring for Carson or for Reno and is somewhat at sea. He will be ready in a few days with a table of altitudes that will fit either place. He re- | turned from his trip to Bowers' Mansion in Washoe County this morning and said be did not believe it wounld do for a train- ing-place; so if the fight 1s to take place in Carson he don’t know just what he will do. Fiizsimmons has already fixed upon Carson Hot Springs. Cooke fights shy of Steamboat Springs, as it is not sufficiently exclusive and is liable to be overrun with visitors. Joseph Grismer, the actor, writes to a friend in Carson that he is glad to see a law passed regulating the sport, and hopes | to be at the riu-side when time is called | on the champions. A number of theatri- cal people have telegraphed for dates for this morning introduced a bill prohibit- ing prize-fighting, challenging to a prize- fight or taking part therein in any way as principal, second, stakeholder, referee, timekeeper or spectator. The punishment is fited at a fine of $5000 and imprison- ment. Duly incorporated athletic clubs may, however, have prizefights in their halls with gloves not less then five ounces in weight and for any number of rounds not exceeding twenty. It is also pro- vided that both contestants shall be ex- amined by a pbysician immediately prior 10 their stepping into the ring, and a cer- tificate shall be given by him that the men are in a fit physical condition for the contest. — SLAPS SLAVIN. HALL To Pay for the Insult He Is Floored With o Chair. NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 9.—A—World special from Quebec says: Slavin and Hall are “dead broke” and 1n low spirits, as they want to go to Carson and have no money to reach there. Local sports have raised a fund of $500, provided they can elude the authorities ana fight for it. The winner is to get $300 and the loser $200. On Sunday, when Slavin was eating his dinner, Hall, who was drunk, and a farmer who was in the same condition, entered the dining-room. Hall and his backwoods friend made merry at Slavin’s expense, ana Hall slapped Slavin on the face. Slavin immedisteiy knocked Hall down with & chair, and when the crowd removed Hall and the farmer he resumed his dinmer. Yesterday, when asked for their opin- ions on the coming fight, Hall said: “The fight should be the best seen in years. Corbett is the fastest and cleverest big man of the century. Fitzsimmons is one of the greatest fighters in his class who ever lived; but in this case he is going out of bis class and will, I think, lose. I believe the fight will last from twelve to eighteen round Slavin, when asked about the fight, said: “Fitzsimmons, in my mind, will win the fight, no matter whether the fin- ish comes in the first round or the twentieth.” e STANFORD'S BASEBALL COACH. Lange, the Chicago Center-Fielder, Arrives to Take Charge of the Varsity Nine. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL, Feb. 8.—Couch W. 4. Lange, the weli-known center-fielder of the Chicago nine, arrived this afternoon. After coaching the Stan- ford basebali team three weeks last year he developed a winning nine. He will coach the team about six Weeks this year. Lange spent the aiterncon looking over the diamond ard‘meeting the old and new paseball candidates. He anticipates a very pieasant time while instructing his men. During his stay he will stop at Laurel Hall. The bie coach does not eppear at all worried by the fact that he must devalop a pitcher to take William McLaine’s place. He has seven men to choose from— Tnompson 97, Beckett 00, Lannigau 00, Clemens '99, Plate '99, Lawton '00, and the Carson Opera-house, and are intend- ing to bring their companies into Nevada about the time of ihe meeting. | Livingston to-day received an order from Woodland, Cal., for twenty reserved seats. W. K. Wheeiock, Dan Stuart’s agent, while speaking of the attitude of the New York press on the Nevada glove contest law, said to-day: “The stand taken by the people of sainted Gotham on prize | fignts 1s worse than ridiculous. The place | recently alluded to in Congress as the | Manhattan reservation is the greatest| cesspool of vice in America. 1f they | would pause in their career of iniquity and vice long enough to attend s few genuine prizefights it would take their attention away from the teeming licen- s of their lives and renovate their morals. “‘Look at the Beeley dinner episode! Nothing as scandalous could ever happen in'any of the Western States. A young society man gets married and he and his friends celebrate the most sacred compact in life by gazing at the disgusting pirou- etting of a woman on their dinner-table. No wonder the police broke in. Did you ever hear of a dinner being given in ) vada that the police had to interrupt? I guess not. But, let me tell you, this was | only a mild incident. Atsome of those dinners given by the swells of Gotham, who hold up their hands at prizefights, there are scenes that no gentleman would | describe in a Western barroom.” To-night Wheelock lef: for Reno osten- sibly to meet Dan Stuart, who isdueto arrive in Reno this evenin, SSE CORBEIT REACHES DENVER, The Champion Tells What Hs Expeots to Do to Mr, Fitzsimmon: DENVER, Covo., Feb. . —A iarge crowd gathered at Union station this afternoon to greet James J. Corbett, whose arrival had been well advertised. With consid- ersble difficulty Corbett’s party made its ‘way through the crowd, and entering car- riages was driven to the Brown Palace Hoiel. After luncheon the champion, accompanied by bis wife, was driven to the residence of Bat Masterson, with whom he discussed at some length the preliminary arrangements for his fight| with Fitzsimmons. To a reporter Corbett talked freely. suppose you want to know how I 1" said he. *“Well, I never felt better »in my life and never more confident of winning a fight. 1 shall always beiieve I can whip Bob Fitzsimmons until Bob Fitzsimmons shows me I cannot. I have been training for the past six weeks, all indoors, and what I need now is good out- door work. My trainer will insist upon my taking regular runs and walks every day, and I will not be backward in obey- ing his instructions. “Where will I train? Well, it has not been fully decided, for we don’t know yet where the battle will take place. Of course, I will train in Nevada and as near as pos sible to the scene of the fight. “I don’t know any more about that story of Bob tearing up the articles of agreement than you do. A!l I know sbout it is what I have seen in the new papers. 1 know that ali my affairs and my end of the agreement were fixed up and signed before Ileft New York, and | Xnow Brady would not let me go this far if the articles were Dot in perfect shape. All Fitzsimmons has got to dois to saw wood and shut up. He cen’t get me into any dispute this time that might end in the fight being declared off. It is too late In the day. “I propose to fight him this time simply todo away with the report thatIam try- inz 1o dodge him, if for no other reason. | Whether I will win or he will is a question | Which can be decided only by future events, hut if confidence will help me to Win there is no doubt that ‘Lanky Bob' be groveling in the dust after 17th of March,"” Corbett left Jate this afternoon for Salt ke, where a sparring exhibition will be g1ven, afler which be will proceed direct 10 San Francisce, i A L S 70 REGULA1E PUGILISM.

Besides the pitcher he must find Varsity men for the positions left vacant by Ha ris, 99, who played a strong game at se ond base; Taylor’99, u clever =hortstop, and Stansberry who played left field. Claire Strohn "00, is the likeliest cand:date for second base, although he is also un exceilent catcher and first base man. Longhead, '00, is a promising candidate for shoristop. Several other freshmen are in the field for different positions, some of whom give indication of consid- erable baseball talent. sepmsidat RIVERSIDE POLU CONTEST, Southern Champions Preparing for the Coming Tournament. RIVERSIDE, CarL., Feb. 8. —The River- side Polo Club is making great prepara- tions for the entertainment of its guests upon the occasion of the great polo toura- ment to be held here on Febrnary 22. itis expected that the tournament will prove to be the most interesting sporting event ever held in Southern Cailfornia.

The Justice holds, in conformity with the decision of the Seaside Atbletic Club against- Mayor Sherin, that the Mayor has autbority to issue the license and that information “of the violation of the law must come from the police, In this case, on police information that the law had been violatea, the Mayor re- voked the license, and the club asked for the permanent u¥uncvion granted by to- day's decision. he Justice holds that the police captain should have made ar- rests for whatever violation he observed. e SIX-DAY BICYCLE RACE.

BErcHAM'S PILLS cure Sick Headache, AT THE LOCAL PLAYHOUSES James Well Received in Heavy Trag=dy at the Baldwin. Chimmie Fadden Scores a De- cided Hit at the Colum- bia. Bertha Foliz’s G od Work at the A'cazar—A Loqal Vio.inist at the Orph:um. Louis James opened his season at the Baldwin last night in *Spartacus, standard old-time play which he has re- vived for tragic and romantic purposes. 1t requires considerable courage for an end of the century actor to revive one of those heavy declamatory dramas that flourished in the days when people took their theater-zoing more seriously than they de in the year of grace 1897, when Roman politics exercised a creater fas- cination for the generai public thau they do in this era of McKinleyism. James, however, has a strong personal popularity to back him, and most of the large audience went to see the actor. A few seasoned first-nighters who remem bered McCullough in the title role went to see “Spartacus.” To the delight of the moderns Louis James did not cant and rave. He entered with force and passion into the woes and wrath of the famous Thracian gladiator, but he never tore his passion to tatters. “Spartacus,” even at tHis late date, has some scenes which are calculated to thrill the audience, the greatest of all being the great arena scene, where the Thracian captain reluctantly con- sents to fight one of on condition that he and his family shall ve freed. The man with whom he is confronted is Pharsarius, his own brother, and Spartacus is about to refuse to butcher him ‘‘to make a Roman holi- day,” when Pharsarius whispers that‘the gladiators are without, awaiting his signal to revolt. Then comes the cry of Iree- dom, the rush of the gladiators and the subjugation of the holiday-making Ro- mans. This tragic scene was very realistically acted by James, who looked a splendid specimen of humanity in his gladiatorial costume. Guy Lindsley, as his brother, also did excellent work. From beginning o end of “Spartacus” ibe real burden of his countrymen the play rested on Jjames' shoulders. He bore it all through wita spirit and skill, till, having lost wife, child and brother, the rebeilious gladiator throws himself and his little band of men on the Roman army and is killed in the tent of the prastor. Atthe end of the arena scene James was called again and again before the curtain and was finally prevailed upon to make a speech, in which Le expressed great gratification at the warm reception zranted his effort ut reviving a romantic Pl Among the supporting company Dr. William_ Sprague of this Cily was one of the star’s best hencbmen.| He took the part of ome of the impresarios, so to speak, who supplied the Roman arena with glad- intors, and he piayed the role excellently. Of the feminine members of the cast Miss Florence Everett acted nicely as Sonona, and Miss Alma Krlger was fairly effective as Julia. Several of the scenes were fairly staged, particularly the arens scsme. If the supers wouid take the trouble to act a little the effectiveness would be much in- creased. At the Alcazar. The Alcazar was crowded last night to wit- ness the first production of William Gillette's merry little comedy “The Professor.’”” The company excelled itselfin the clever work it did. The people are well cast, and the por- formance ranks among the good ones given at this Jouse. J. B. Poik as the “meek and mild” professor ceuses peals of laughter. Mr. Powers again proved his ability, and John Armstrong as 0ld Brown succeeds in making himself thor- oughly disliked, which, for a stage villain, is no small success. Messrs. Foster, Belasco and Clayton do effective work Miss Bertha Foltz as Daisy Brown, & child ot the wocds, & part that thoroughliy suits her, doss some clever work; and aitogether the production is an excelleut one. The Grand Opera. *A Mile & Minute” is sensational enough for auy gallery, and it bids fair to have & good run at the Grand, judging from its reception last night. All the favoriles were in the cast, and they did the best they could with the material of- fered. Julie Blanc's impersoustion of Tillie Jacobs, a Jewisn hag, showed her to be a clever character actress. Miss Lorena Atwood, Miss Lottie Wiliiams and Edward J. Heron did their work with great spirit. There were severel specialties introduced, which added materially to the plece. Celumbla Theater. For any ome suffering from the blues “Chim. mie Fadden” may be recommended as & sov- ereign cure. It is not ome of those great comedies for which managers and public scan the horizon in vain; indeed it is & play with scarceiy any plot to speak of, but “Chimmie Fadden” may be relied on to extract laughter irom the most hardened pessimist. Lastnight the audience, which filled all the boxes'and t the Columbia and camped on stools in greeted the play with an almost constaut flow of mirth. To the casual reader of Townsend’s novel there does not seem to be much promising material for the dramatist in Chimmie's ad- ventures, but it is in the odd conglomeration of cheracter studics (hat the strength of the piay lies. The incidents which befall these characters huve been strung into some sort of coherence, and dialogue which-for the most part is effective has been put into their mont; the actors do the rest, and most of them are quite equal to the occasion when it is & mirth-provoking one. The burglary sceneis a bit of melodrama interpolated in the lighter fabric of the rest of the piay, but it serves its purpose in leading up to the police investigation of the last act, which is the best bit of comedy in the wholé lay. P Chiartes Hopper in his time, which is most of the evening, plays many parts, aitho: always Chimmie Fadden. At'one t; mie is mirthful, at another pensive; now he s arrogant to *“cops,” now tenderly sentimen tal in his relations with the Duchess, Miss Fan. nie’s French maid; in fact, Hopper has to be s melodramatic _hero, a tough, & sentimenialist and & wag all rolled into one. Consiaering the demands made upon him, he showed a great deal of versatility. His Chimmie wasa sorr of expurgated edition of tne Bowery tough, thoroughly funny without being vul- gar. Ho sang several songs in a tenor volce that was very pleasant to listen to, even if it was & little throaty. A little character study that delighted the sudience was Mrs. Marie Bates' rendering of the bibulous Mrs. Murphy. If Mrs. Bates had done nothing but walk across the stage her make-up and her carriage would have maae an instant bit. Tosee her was to recognize immediately that she was the sort of indi. vidual who would fiercely resent being called anything but a “lady.” Dirty, draggled, wretened looking to the last degrée, she bore herself with the proud comscionsuess of superior dignity, and the richest bit of acting in the play was the scene where the detective ordered her 1o leave the Toom amd. Mrs. Mur. phy, more in pantomime than by word of gave the detective to understand that be was 10 gentieman. Mrs. Fanny Denham Rouse, as Mrs. Fadden, was another actress who did clever character nd_aroused many laughs. The part of Mr. Peul Smail Bottles, who drowned his love 5 | thou, sorrows in bumpers of “‘extra dry,” was played by George Nash. There were moments when it almost seemed as if Nat C. Goodwin, grown 1o larger snd more florid proportions, were playing Mr. Paul, so thoroughly did Nash imi- tate the Goodwin style. Imilations are gen- erally objectionable, but Nash Imitates so cleverly tbat his Mr. Paul was one of the hits of the play. Most of the minor characters were well acted. Miss Betn Franklyn was cffective as the Duchess, but she would have been more pleas- ing had she been more distinct in her utter- ance. Sydney Price was imposing “His hiskers.” Barnes Reynolds contributed to the general hilarity as the bibulous butler. “Chimmie Fadden” is not by any means a great play, but it can be safely recommended %o those who want to lsugh. Madeline Eichbaum’s Faneral. The funeral of Madeline Eichbaum, grand- daughter of Mr. Eichbaum, junior warden of St. John's Church and presideat of the San Francisco Gastight Company, took place yes- terday from the chapel of Holy Innocents in St, John's Purish. The pallbearers were mem- bers of St Mark’s Society, Messrs. Cathcart. Warren, Kent, Gale, Sunkey and Van Eich- baum, who waiked on either side of the hearse, The funeral cortege was met at the entrance of the chapel by Revs. E. B. Church, 8. J. Les and H. B. Coliler, priest in charge. As the march, played by the talented organist alby, died away the choral procession e up the aisle and the white casket, liter- ally covered with flowers, was placed on the rests and the sublime Eyiscopalservice for the dead was read. One floral piece was presented by the Bible class of the Sunday-school of which the deceased was a member. The final obsequies were performed at Cyoress Lawn Cemstery. At the Orpheum. The Orpheum has & local debutante this week in the person of Miss Nina de St. Hubert, a young violinist who plays the obligato to Guille’s reudering of the ““Ave Maria.” Peo- ple familiar with the work will remember that there is a long orelude for the violin with ar- Vegglo accompaniment before the voice be- ins. 05 Sunday the audience, in spite of the debutante’s pretty appearanc: and playing, seemed unable to refrain from laughing at litt.e Guille as he stood mute on the platform. t night the prelude was omitted. ~All went weil, Miss St. Hubert making quite a hit. Guille, in addition to the “Ave Maria,” ng an aria by Verdi. A new act that 100k well was that performed Ara, Zelra ana Vora, clever scrobats, who periorm gome ramarkable balancing feats. Que of the feminine members of the troupe balances herself on a table covered with lighted lamps. ohn and Berthe Gleason, two other new- comers, made quite a bit with their dancing, their singing was not of much account.

Dr. Beard Telis What Moderate Socialists Are Doing in London. Rev. W. Tubb Upbraids Congregational Pastors With Their Ignorancs of History. More in a spirit of pity than of wrath, Evangelist Munball talked of modern sg- nosticism and atheism at the Presbyterian Ministerial Association yesterday, and dealt modern unbelievers bard blows. He opened his remarks by quoting the Scotch diviue who said that to-day misses who are not sure of the muit¥plication t: ble are sure they are unbelievers, and youtns yet in their teens call themselves agnostics, when they cannot describe the word, nor even spell it. The evangelist described the brilliant skeptics of the last century, particularly Voltaire and Lord Bolingbroke, and said that the hopeful sign of the decadence of unbelief lies in comparing their brilliancy with the infe- | riority of modern skeptics. Alluding to sensationalism, the speaker strongly disapproved of the action of some men who ‘‘in their desire 10 fill their churches have turned them into play- | houses, no matter whether for Shakes- peare or for scriptual drama, such as the Ten Virgins. It has always been my experience that the results of sensational- ism are disastrous.” The speaker said he upheld divinely appointed means for the propagation of the gospel, and said that for his part he was an old fogey, if to believe in the Bible, in theoiogy and in creeds meant being an old fogey. * believe that « man who hes not in his heart a clear-cut convictionjthat the Binle is the work of God, will never do muych good in the pulpit,”’ and this sentiment was heartily applauded by the ministers | present. Bt Waenn England and Scotland last year Rev. Dr. Beard made a special study of the various charitable organizations, and vesierday he read a paper on “London Charities” at the Methodist preachers’ meeting. ‘The doctor statea that the an- nual income of London charities is $27,- | 000,000, but that this is much less than th amount actually expended in charity, as | many charitabie organ zations make no | public report at all. The amount of Goy- ernment and municipal help afforded to dependent classes is almost appalling to an American, and the large amounts given in private charity have resulted in a serious sentimental and legal invasion of the privileges of the upper classes. Dr. Beard concluded by describing some of the work achieved by the London County Council, which he said was a body of wealthy men said to be moderste so- cialists, using the privileges accorded to them by the law in dealing with some of the problems of poverty by means of im- proved housing conditions. The meeting appointed Dr. Dille, Dr. | Case and Dr. Bovard a committee to draft |a proposed constitutional amendment with regard to educational institutions being exempt from taxation. Rev. James Small addressed the Ch: tian pasiors on the subject of revivals, in the beneficent results o which he ex- pressed an abiding belief. He paid a high_tribute to the mental ana moral { worth of Evangelist Munhall, and added: “I think Professor Jordan's fling was wholly uncalled for, though it is my opin- ion that he isin favor of legitimate revi- vals. It was a mistake to bring personal- ities into the discussion. Professor Jor- dan's change of views, if he ever had a change, have no place ii the controversy, and are only caiculated to injure his standing with orthodox Christians. The question ought to be discussed on its mer- its. Professor Jordan had a magnificent standing in the Christian College 1n Indi- ans, where he was an instructor.” The Congregational Ministers’ Club met for the first time in its new quarters in the Y. M. C. A. building vesterday morning, and to Rev. Dr. G. Adams of the First Church feil the pleasure of reading the first paper in the new rooms. His subject was “William, Prince of Orange.” He followed the champion of Protestantism through all his trials and victories to his death. A number of pastors discussed the paper. When the turn of Rev. William Tubb came to speak he said that he regretted to find such a deplorable lack of historical knowl- edge among the pasiors present. *‘Many of them,” he said, ‘confound historical characters. They seem to have no clear 1dea of history, and get mixed up in the historical personages. If the theological colleges do not turn out better informed | ministers in the future than they have in the past, Ithink it wonld be advisable to refer the graduates back to the public schools.” KRIEGERS AT BANQUET, Germans Love America While Kindly Remembering the Fatherland. The fourth anniversary of the Deutschen Krieger Versin was celebrated by a ban- quet at the Turn Vereiu Vorwaerts’ hall | last night. There were a numberof honorary zuests and the festivities were con'inued until NEW TO-DAY. BRAINY "GUESTS. Frequently Have Trouble With What Is Found on Fashionable Xabl It has been discovered by some of the society ladies in some of the lager cities that a number of the most esteemed guests at their “functions” are more or less dis- agreeably affected by coffee, tnis fact be- ing particularly observable among the brillent and brainy ones. To meet the want of coffee fanciers with whom the subtle beverage does not agree, Postum, the health coffee, has been quite largely introduced in fashionable quarters. This is a singularly appetizing drink made from cereals (wheat, etc.), by the Postum Cereal Company, Limited, Battle Creek, Mich., which incidentally looks and smells like fine coffee, but instead of proaucing the unpleasant disturbances with the di- gestive or.ans, as coffee does in number- less cases, it nirns perfectly with the weakest stomach and is nourishing and fattening, beinfiemlda whoily from pure grains. It'can rved strong as an after dinner coffee with perfect success asto looks, tasie and effect upon the guests. A reliable grocer will never offer a cheap or weak imitation of a genuine original article because he happens to make a little extra profit. But it is well to observe that when genuine Postum_cereal coffee is or- dered, that you get Postum and not a spurious imitation offered as *j 00d.” past midnieit. They consistea largely of music and toasts. The principa! speech of the evening was by the toastmaker, Robert Wienecke. Among other things he said: Comrades, ladies and gentlemen: We are met this evening around this festive board to celebrate the fourth anniversery of the shoot- ing section of the German Krieger Verein in a fitting and suiteble manner. The German Krieger Verein (veteran sssociation) I8 an or- ganization which has made it its object to keep alive and fresa in the memories of its members the glorious deeds of arms of united Germany’s army, and 10 recail at gatherings like this the great and historical occurrences on tne fieid of battie of tnat grand army of which we were members. Within our organi- zation it is particulariy te shooting section which has added to and mainiained the mili- tary branch of the Kricger Verzin to the social associalion, composed of veterans of the Ger- than aro . My \friends, extending to vou a hearty wel- come, ana knowing that many of our honored uests have fought for our new and adopted fatherland, 1 propose as the first tosst of the evening, “America ana Germany but before I call for & response to this toast I will add ‘a few words in English for the benefit of those of our guests who are not f miliar with the German language. And now, for the benefit of our iriends and guests who have honored us this evening by their presence, and who_are not familiar with our German language, I will sav that this is the fourth anniversary of the shooting section of the German Krieger Verein. While we all are and desire to become American citizens, we have retained in our hearts the love for our dear fatherland—the land where our cradle stood—the land for the unity nd in- tegrity of which many of us fought on bloody fields, But these sentiments do not interfere with our patriotism for our new ana_adopted coun- try. I smsure [ yoice the foeilngs of all my comrades when I'say: Thatshould necessity require our military services we will be just as patriotic and devoted soldiers for this, our glorious republic, as we have been for the land of our birth. With love for the old fatherland and with patriotic fervor for our new fatherland, the most glorious country of the world, I bid you welcome and hope you will join With us in the festivities of this evening. And now I repeat that the first toast of the evening is “America and Germany,” and I call upon General E. S. Salomon to respond to this toast. Captain F. J. Wisker of Garrison 101, Army and Navy Union, drank to the bealth of the verein and made a short speech. Toasts were responded to byWice- Consul Lohan and br Baron J. W. von Schroeder, L‘ng‘ain Kuhls, Captain Oldeg and Captain Siebe, representing the Ein- tracht, Red Men’s and Shell Mound sec- tions respectively. It wasnearly1 o’clock when the music ceased and the guests dis- persed. QUACKENBUSH'S DENIAL, Declares That He Never Signed a Mar- riage Contract With Mrs. Abbott- Quackenbush. Thomas M. Quackenbush testified in his own bebalf yesterday in the case brought against him by Mrs. Nancy Abbott-Quack- enbush for $500 permanent maintenance, claiming that right on account of a mur- riage contract which she avers was signed by them several years ago. Mr. Quackenbush is too sick to appear in court and so Judge Seawell and the a torneys went to the Quackenbush res: dence, 911 Webster street, to hear the tes- timony of the old man, who is nearly 76 years of age. Quackenbush’s evidence was practically a general denial of Mrs. Abbott's asser- tions. He stated empbatically that he had never beer. married 10 her and tbat he had not signed the aileged marriage contract which she has produced. He said he lived in the house kept by Mrs. Abbott simply as her lodger. He said he paid her $16 a month for his room and from 15 to 25 cents for his meals. At different times he sicned money orders and other papers, but never anything that resembled a marriaze contract, so far as he knew. He did not dispute bis signa- tures in all cases, but said if be signea those documents he did not know what they contained. —_—————— Five More Divorce Suit Divorce suits have been filed as follows: Mrs. L. Brenemar against L. H. Brenemar, for failure to provide; M, C. O'Keefe against J. O’Keele, for desertion; Maude Keeling against George Keeling, failure to proyide: Amy M. Scott sgainst Robert P. Scoit, for desertion: George O. Browu sgainst Alberta Brown, for cruelts. HON. D. J. QUIMBY. [5E HON. D. J. QUIMBY IS NOW me of che leading business men of Portland, snd I was interested in him to- day for nearly two hours. We spoke of the result of the new bond issue, and we sgreed in looking forward to a good spring business, ““Well,” said he, “I'm glad it is coming. I feel able to cope with any amount of extra work. I am really and truly a strong man.

To Be Sternly Grappled With and Quickly Thrown Out. “Once more in the clutches of my old enemy, the grip,” you sav some morning when you wake up coughing and sneezing. Your eyes are watery, your head feels as it some force inside of it were bent on splits ting it as a charge of gunpowder splits a rock. Every muscle is stiff and sore. Your very bones ache. On, we all know the symptoms of the grip. A steady draught through an open door, & pair of wet feet le‘t undried too long, or a short walk in the cutting air without ar overcoat, and the mischief is done. ow shall it be undone? Evidently there is only one remedy. The blood must move more briskly on its way, so as to warm the tissues near the skin, and at the same time relieve from congestion the sluggish organs lying deep in the body. And what will accomplish this? An. swer: Ounly a/pure stimulant to stir, stim- ulate and rouse the powers and throw the intruding grip out of the system. Nature must be assisied. The only known pure medicinal sumulant is Duffy’s pure malt whiskey. *A stitch in time :aves nine” is an adage that would never bave grown so ol if it did not embody an imperish= able truth. Remember this ancient say- ing and take Duify’s pure malt whiskey at the first chilly symptom that the grip is near. RAILROAD TRAVEL!
