CORBETT LOST
ON A FOUL.
Jim's Second Jumped io Ring,
Saving Him From Defeat.
New York, Nov. 22.-The Sher
key-Corbett fight, wb??h was wit?
nessed by the larges ; and most
representative gathering of sporting
men that ever congregated to see a
ring coniest, ended in a most dis?
graceful fiasco to night at the Lenox
Athletic club. Corbett bad ali the
worst of the encounter wheo one of
his seconds, "Connie" McVey, jump?
ed into the ring, appealing to the
referee, thus violating the rulea and
the referee* "Honest John" Kelly, j
bad no alternative bot to disqualify
Corbett and award the bout to Sbar
key. D&cVey's interference was ab?
solutely inexcusable and the referee,
believing that there was a "job" in
McVey's action, took it upon him?
self to declare ali bets off Before
Kelly did so. however, many of those
who bad bet on Corbett, and they
were legion, appealed to the referee
to take such action, while Sharkey
ites snooted against snob interference
on Kelley's part and protested that
bi; bad no authority to declare the
beta off. - However, the referee's
word went with the majority of the
spectators and consequently all
money paid on wagers made will be
refunded
Jt was an unfortunate and abrupt
ending tte what promised to be a
most interesting fight. For weeks
both Corbett and Sharkey had trained
faithfully acid carefully for the con?
test and when they stripped to night
each of them showed in excellent
.condition Sharkey was very conti
dent of success and the msnner in
which he acquitted himself in the
ring while the fight lasted showed
very plainly that his confidence was
founded -on good grounds. Those
who believed that Sharkey could not
fight fairly., changed their 'opinion
after the bout had gone one round
On the other hand, Corbett bit the
sailor in the body rather low and
Sharkey protested. Sharkey*s quick
ne83 and aggressiveness were aston?
ishing from the very beginning and
from the first it was evident that he
held Corbett safely In the second
round there were wild yells from the
admirers of the Irishman when he
floored Corbett with a right swing on
the bead, preceded by a powerful
blow on the body.
Sharkey's rashes were snccessiul
invariably, and Jim's quickness and
leg work were tested to their utmost
in trying to evade the aggressive
savior- pugilist. That Sharkey bas
improved wonderfully goes without ;
saying, and on the other hand, that
Corbett is not the Corbett of New
Orleans is beyond question. At no
time had the Californian the upper
band of his younger and more steady
rival Sharkey is a fighter and a
clever one at that and his work to
night stamps him beyond ail doubt as
being second only to Fitzsimmons
Tickets for seats in the immediate
vicinity of the ring brought fabulous
prices to-night. The original cost of
the pasteboards was ?20 each, but
to-night twice that acm could? not
purchase one of them and in two
instances they broegbt $100 apiece.
the other tickets, costing from $5 to
$15, brought prices increased two
and three-fold and the ciob manage?
ment did not put any of the $3 ad?
mission tickets on sale.
The anxious sports who clamored
at the entrances gladly paid five aod
in many cases ?8 for the privilege of j
standing up st the extreme ends of the
building

Caution to Liquor Seizers.
A fe? days ago, at Fourth Adams,
Masa, the ehief constable seized a jar
rum and arrested the party io whose
possession it was foo cd, for eel Hog in?
toxicating liquors. At the examina?
tion before tbs district jad ge. be swore
and testified that be bad seized the
liquor, and made a detailed statement
of the fact. Hon Shepard Thayer,
the attorney for tbe prisoner, asked
him if be knew it was liquor. He
replied. "Yes, it was rum," He was
then asked bow be knew it was rom,
and be replied, that be bad drank
some of it. The prisoner, v who was
a woman, was then called as a wit?
ness in ber own behalf, wheo the fol?
lowing questions were put and received :
Q. Did you have any liquor in your
house when the state constable called
there ?
A. Yes, I had some rum in a jar.
Q. How long bave you had it ?
A. About six months.
Q Did you bave it to sell ?
A. Ob I no. I don't sell liqcor.
Q What did you bave this rum
for ?
A. I kept it to wash the baby.
Q. Had you ever washed tbe *?aby
o this rom ?
A. 0, yes, often I I used to tarn out
some io a dish, wash the baby io it,
and then urn it back into the jar
again.
Q Do you mean to say that this
was the same liquor of which the state
constable drank ?
A. Tbe very same.
There was great laughter in the
kand the constable declared be j
no more liquor fb&t was
r. He is about tbe only 1

Anecdotes of "Dizzy."
In G. W. E. Russell's "Collections
and Recollections1 ' are these anecdotes
of Disraeli:
The atmosphere of a court naturally
suited Lord Beaconsfield, and he had a
quaint trick of transferring the grandi?
ose nomenclature of , palaces to his own
very modest domain bf Hughenden. He
called his simple drawing room the
salon ; he styled his pond the lake ; he
expatiated on the beauties of the terrace
walks, the "Golden Grate" and the
"German forest "
His style of entertaining was more
showy than comfortable. Nothing could
excel the grandeur of his state coach
and powdered footman, but when the
dessert came up melting one of his
friends exclaimed :
"At last, my dear Dizzy, we have
got something hot. "
And in the days when he was chan?
cellor of the exchequer some 0 critical
guest remarked of the soup that it was
apparently made with deferred stock.
When Lady Beaconsfield died, he
sent for his agent and said, "I desire
that her ladyship's remains be borne to
the grave by the tenants of the estate. "
Presently the agent came back, with a
troubled countenance, and said, "I re?
gret to say there are not enough tenants
to carry a coffin."
Won His Bet.
! It is one of the proud boasts of Lord
! Charles Beresford that he can ride or
drive anything. One day he may be
seen tooling a four-in-hand, the next
j scurrying across country on a hunter or
riding a bicycle. Perhaps the most curi
! ons ride Lord Charles ever had, how?
ever, was on a water cart, and thereby
hangs a tale. He had wagered that he
? would drive down Rotten row in broad
j daylight, and, as our readers know, ve?
hicles are forbidden in the row. At the
appointed time the other party to the
.wager, with a few friends, took up a
position to see if Lord Charles would
attempt the feat. While they waited a
water cart came along, and some of the
party "were liberally sprinkled with none
too clean water. The victims protested
in forcible terms, when, to their un?
bounded astonishment, the oilskins cf
the driver were pushed back, revealing
the merry features of the popular sailor.
"Hand over that hundred, old fellow!"
he remarked calmly. Lord Charles had
squared the driver of the water cart,
and had won his wager.-London An?
swers.
Firecrackers In China.
In China firecrackers can be purchas?
ed at a cost of 62 cents for 10,000, al?
though the best quality commands twice
this price. This is but little more than -
the actual cost of manufacture. The
straw paper used is of the cheapest
grade. The powder isealso of cheap and
inferior quality, which probably ac?
counts for so many "sizzers" in every
pack.
Most of the firecrackers are made by
women and children at their homes, and
rapid workers are able to earn from 5
to 7 cents per day. An expert can earn
10 cents, while a novice receives only
his board for the first four years. The
wages paid in this trade are about the
same as those paid thc common laborer.
Besides being unhealthy, the work of
making firecrackers is more or less dan?
gerous, yet the hours of labor are from
6 a. m. to ll p. m. seven days in the
week.
Goose on Friday.
"You never heard about the time that
Judge Egan gave that prince of birds,
the goose, a new place in natural his?
tory, I suppose?" said M. W. Fitzgerald
to the Philistine.
"Well, a couple of years ago Judge
Egan and Tom Conroy went over to
lunch together one noon. 'What'll you
have?' asked the judge.
" 'It's Friday, ' said Tom. 'Give me
some fish. '
"Judge Egan let his eye wander
down the bili of fare. He saw that
there was goose on the bill and the soul
of him hungered for goose. He framed
up a decision to make the punishment
fit the crime. j
" *Goose, ' said he. 'A goose is a bird
th.?t swims in the water. That's clear
enough. Waiter, bring me some goose V "

A Distressing Outlook.
A little Cleveland girl was greatly
worried by the misfortune of a favorite
playmate. The latter injured her knee
by a fall, and for a time it was feared
she might lose the limb. Happily this
contingency was avoided, and in time
the sufferer completely recovered. Bp?
when the outlook was dark indeed the
sympathetic girl burst in on her mam?
ma one day with the following excited
query:
"Oh, mamma, did you know it was
Bella's vaccination leg that was
hurted?"
No, mamma didn't know it.
'"Weil, it is," cried the little sympa?
thizer, "and, oh, mamma, just think,
if they cut off her leg she'll have to be
vaccinated all over again!"-Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
Useful Neighbors.
Sir, or madam, if you have any diffi?
culty in making your children behave,
just tum them over to the family next
door. Both the man and the woman in
that house are quite sure they could
make those children mind.-Boston

THE PUNKERS' LOVE FEAST.
Feet Washing-, the Great Supper and th?
Kiss of Peace.
"The most important and the most
beautiful custom of the Drinkers is their
love feast, which they celebrate in com?
memoration of the Lord's supper, after
the manner of the primitive Chris?
tians, " writes Clifford Howard in de?
scribing the customs of the Dunkers ol
Ephrata, Lancaster county, Pa., in The"
Ladies' Home Journal.
"The celebration is held at nightfall
and begins with the rite of feet wash?
ing, in imitation of the act performed
by the Master at the last supper, when
he washed the feet of his disciples.
Small tubs of lukewarm water are
brought in, and those about to receive
the ordinance remove their shoes and
stockings. The brothers then in turn,
each one girding himself with a towel,
wash and dry one another's feet, the
sisters at the same time doing likewise
among themselves in their parc of the
room.
"After this follows the supper, the
feast of love, which is spread 'on long
tables and consists cf limb soup and
bread and other simple viands. It is
eaten in devout solemnity and rever?
ence. At the close of the^meal the broth?
ers turn to one another and extend the
right hand of fellowship and the kiss of
peace, each one shaking hands with his
neighbor and kissing him, while the
sisters at their tables perform the same
beautiful rite among themselves. The
communion is then administered.''
Owls In Chicago.
Chicago ha3 a novel trade in owls,
the supply coming to the commission
merchants from the farr a er s ' boys in
the nearby states.
The first owl which came to Chicago
in this manner was sent as aventure by
a farmer boy, who had somehow man?
aged to entrap it alive. It proved so un?
expectedly successful in ridding the
warehouse of rats and mice-having
been freed at night with the idea of
making an experiment in this direction
-that it was purchased hy the man in
whose care it was resting. The freedom
from rodents which it brought "induced
other commission men to look out foi
owls, and from the commission firms
the idea gradually spread to the grocers,
butchers and market keepers generally
of the city. Now a large percentage of
these men keep an owl down in the cel?
lar during the daylight and bring it up
to the store when darkness falls. It is
said that the expense and care of main?
taining owls are more than repaid by
their services in vanquishing the rata
sud mice. The owners and janitors of
the large apartment houses in the city
are also beginning to realize the value
of possessing an owl when rats, mice,
cockroaches and vermin generally are to
be exterminated.-Chicago Times-Her?
ald.
Fun From the French.
A boulevardier is at once surprised
and enchanted to meet an old time con
panioii whose suicide had been reported.
"It's true.': said the latter. "I did
want to kill myself, simply from dis?
taste of life. And then carnie along the
doctors and discovered that 1 had a
grave disorder. Since then, you under?
stand, I take care of myself!"-Figaro.
Sorely He Wouldn't. t
"If I were only a man, " she said,
"we could"
"Possibly we could, "he said, "but
the chances are we wouldn't If you
were a man, I wouldn't be here. I'd be
saying nice things to somebody who
wasn't a man."
Sometimes it is worth while to think
of such facts as these.-Chicago Post
The Tongue.
The tongue is divided into three re?
gions of taste, each of which has its
own special function. The tip of the
tongue is chiefly sensible to pungent and
acid tastes, the middle porr?n to
sweets or bitters, while the back is con?
fined entirely to the flavors of roast
m?-ats, butter, oils and rich and fatty
substances.
Bargrain In Seal Estate.
Agent-I think I can sell this place
for you, but I can't get the $5,000 you
ask. You'll have to take $4,99S.
Owner-That's queer. Why should
the extra $2 stand in the way?
Agent-My customer is a woman.
