Bloomer weddings may yet be all the rage—if the boys don't object. The corn crop this year in several ot the western states is poeitivele too numerous to mention. -- - The friends of Miss Frances E. Wil- bird continue to deny that she is to wed. This is scarcely necessary. All those who have not been mur- dered by H. H. Holmes will please rise and remain standing until counted. Wait until Uncle Sam gets ready to Ship wheat and corn and cotton. Europe will then have to shell out the yellow metal. Johnnie Walsh walked from 'Frisco to Boston for $500, and is now ready to walk back again for cash. lie says he is trotting across the ceuntry for bis health. Some of the Chinese mandarins ex- press astonishment that Americans aril Englishmen should make such a fuss because \Chinamen fling stones at thew In the street.\ If Japan wants to lick China again, and will do it good and hard, the Amer- ican people will waive any little ques- tions of search and seizure for the nonce and cheerfully hold her coat while elite does it. -- The Chicago Bicycle Club is torten:1st \Sunday races\ and has suspended some of its members for indulging in such pastimes. The club is right. The six days of the week are enough for *alcorehing.\ The Governor of South Carolina 's disappointed because the state's profit in the saloon business only amounts to 8200,090. A little more foam and small- er glasses will perhaps solve the diffi• rutty, Governor. It is estimated that the American people have already invested this year $25,0e/0.000 in bicycles, $3,000,000 in ar- nica, and $1,000,000 in sticking plaster. It has been a little hard un the horsès and the savings banks. In a Kentucky town the other day Mr. Hale asked Mr. Bush to give him a chew of tobacco. Bush refused to do ao, whereupon Hale drew a dirk and tabbed him through the heart. Truly a fine-cut performance! In those great and rival Newport en- tertainments the question of superior- ity should be settled by having each guest wear a placard stating the num- ber of millions represented by the wear- er, and the value of the diamonds worn. The portraits of the young woman to whom Charles Dana Gibson, one Of Life's artists, is engaged show that she is not a Gibson girl. This shows Mr. Gibson's good taste. The Gibson girl, though attractive, is capable of grow. menotonous. An effort is being made to take from It tribe of Indians called the Metlakat- las an Island in Alaska whieh in 1881 was deeded to them by the United States government. The land is in Southeast Alaska and is known as Annette Island. The natives have improved the land, erected public buildings, churches, and sawmills. A few months ago men prospecting discovered a gold ledge and Immediately staked out claims and ap- plied to the government for mineral patents. The Indians entered a protest which was favorably considered, but if money and Influence can overrule the Indians mining operations will be corn- menced. From New York to San Francisco there is not a city of considerable size which may not soon find itself in im- perative need of e vagrancy law a» altered as to include those Varlegaled deadheads who, under guise et wagers, are \doing\ the country and the people -1n their globe-trotting evolutions. The first man who at- tempted to circumnavigate the earth in a given time while spending other people's Delaney was a picturesque genius. Since that time there have been a whole host of imitators, and the fashion seems to he spreading. Not a week has passed this seallon When some frowsy, ambling, down -al -heel \sport\ bas tailed to appear in every big city to \register\ and incidentally to solicit interviewo and ham sandwiches. All that the vagrant Of the statute book ac- romplishee against society Is to feed off It without rendering an equivalent. This the wager -bound tourist ae,com- plishn. and more. The law presumes that a man shall not have something for nothing, and when an individual capable of earning or paying his way Warta out with the avowed intention of getting a great deal for nothing he be- comes at.leest a nuisance. Thirty days of ateme-pile might hay e+ a very whole 'some effect upon SOMA of these pen. A Paralytic Cured. Ille Grand ?nth el a Revolutionary Sol- dier, and 114, Father, Both Died of ti,', Third Goner - at Ion Is Cured —The Method. (Frui the Herald, Boston, Mass.) Like e thunderbolt tri ‚n a clear sky, strike of paralysis came to Mr. Frank T. Ware, the well known Boston auc- tioneer and appraiser, at 235 Washing- ton Street. lie went to bed one night about six years ago seemingly in robust health. When he awoke his left side was stiffened by the deadening of the nerves. The interviewer sought out Mr. Ware to get the facts. He gave the in- teresting particulars in his own way: \The first shock came very suddenly while I was asleep, but It was not last- ing in its effects, and in a few weeks I was able to be about. A few months after, when exhausted by work and drenched with rain le went home in a very nervous state. The reineet-waa' a second and more Severe shock, after which my left arm and leg were prac- tically helpless. \My grandfather, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and lost an arm in the struggle for American inde- pendence, died finally of paralysis. My father also died of paralysis, although It was complicated with other troublea, and so I had some knowledge of the fa- tal character of the disease which is he- reditary in our family. After the sec- ond shock I took warning, for, In all probability, a third would carry me off. \Almost everything under the sun yeas recommended to me and I tried all the remedies that 'seemed likely to do any good, electricity, massage and special- ists, but to no effect. \The only thing I found that helped me was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I verily believe that if it hadn't been for those pills 1 would have been dead years ago. \Yes I still have a slight reminder of the last attack six years ago. My left arm is not as strong as the other and my left foot drags a little, as the paralysis had the effect of deadening the nerves. But I can still walk a good distance, talk as easily as ever, and my general health Is splendid. I am really over sev- enty years old, although I am generally taken to be twenty years younger. \The Pink Pills keep my blood in good condition. and I belie) e that is why I am so well. Mr. Ware has every appearance of a perfectly healthy man, and arrives at his office promptly at eight o'clock ev- ery morning, although he has reached an age when many men retire from active life. He says that in his opinion both his fattier and grandfather could have been saved if Pink Pills had been obtainable at that time. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo- ple contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y , at 50 cents per bom, or six boxes for $2.50 SHE WAS THE ONLY WOMAN. The Belle of Rattlesnake Hills Has a Great Rush of Lovers. Annie Thomas is the only woman in Karnania county, Wash. She is a squatter and lives in Rattlesnake Bills. There has of late been a great strife for her hand in marriage among the rough settlers of that region. Hank Monley and Jerry Woods seemed to be the highest in her favor and 80 it was finally agree 1 that these two men should mettle the question be- tween them by a duel with bowie knives. After a desperate fight, in which both were wounded, the battle was declared a draw. It was then agreed that the matrimonial question should be settled by a game of seven- up. The fortune of cards favored Monley and he was declared the win- ner of the squatter bride. A parson was called in to SMUTS him his prize. The fickle Annie hail a long tall( with the parson. and. though she bad never seen him before she at last announced her intention of marrying the pareon himself and not Monley. In vain did the hero of the bowie knife duel and the victor in the game of seven-up object to this proceeding. The woman was firm in her intentions and the upshot wet that the nareon got the woman. Out of bight of Land on n Elver. Were it not for a decided difference in the color ot . the water you would never know when the Atlantic is left and the Rio de la I'lata entered. The high -rolling, white -capped billows are the same, and no land is visible, for the great river which James Diaz de Sais discovered is 125, miles wide at its mouth, though with an average depth of only fifty feet. Sebastian Cabot, who arrived in the year 1520, soon after the natives had murdered poor Don Salis, dubbed it River of Sil- ver, not on acoönnt of its color, which might have won font the more arro- priate name of Golden river or River of Chocolate, but because he had wrested quantities of silver from the Indians who swarmed its banks, awl naturally imagined that an abund- ance of precionametal remained in the vicinity. When Donee the Tear Begin? The countries and nations of the world with a few exceptions, begin the year with January 1, but that this system is arbitrary and based upon nothing in particular does not even need to be proven. The ancient Egyptians, C'naideatin, Persians, Syr- ians, Phrenicians and Carthaginians each began their year with the au- tumnal equinox, or about September 22. Among the Greeks the beginning of the year was at the time of the winter solstice down to B. G., when the \Menton Cycle\ was intro - dures', after which the new year be- gan on Jun 02. England from the II me of the fe iirteenth century until 1752 the legal ao.1 ecoleadastioal year began on Itle.r , •h M. THE COM NO FIGHT. BOXERS COUBETT AND FITZ• • SIMMoNS SIZED UP. The Latter le ( eofnieut of Success lu the Coming Corti eat --Measurements of the Mea --- Fitzeinuumus' Woudertiù rower or pie tts - - - OLLOWERS o f pugilistic affairs have already com- menced to come down to real hard figuring, and with- in the next few weeks they will all be able to show you in black and white which' of .thé' great pair, Corbett and Fitzsimmons, will win, just why he should win, and the absolute impossibility of a slip-up. It takes time to master a problem of this sort, more time than It requires for a believer in turf \dope\ to pick a hundred winners, but men who wrestle seriously with such knotty propositions usually have plenty of time on their hands. A few months ago, when the big- match was first talked of, very many persons possessing a casual knowledge of professional fighting af- fairs smiled at Fitz's presumption in challenging the conqueror of Kilrain, Sullivan and Mitchell. But Fitz was thoroughly in earnest and will be thor- oughly in earnest until the finish. The New Zealander is not an intellectual giant, but he knows how to fight, and FITZ'S KNoCK-OUT BLOW. While, like all men in his profession, he Is a bad judge of other fighters, Fitz thinks he can take the champion's measure, and nothing but a smart wal- loping from Corbett could convince him to the cnfaryi Corbett is confident Fitz will « be convinced. \I can't for the life ot me discover any medals on Jim'it manly chest,\ said Robert the other day. \He's never beat a flyer, sé far as I can see. Kilrain, eh? And Choynekl, ah? And Jackson. and Sullivan and Mitchell? A fine lot One great fighter in the bunch—old Pe- ter. This record does not scare me. Hall made a pretty good showing against Jim for 81x rounds In Chicago. I attended to him in New Orleans very properly. I take it. As for Choynski, he didn't turn out to be mutton pie, but I cooked his goose in Boston, and It is acknowledged that Joe gave him the toughen fight he ever had. I'm no blowhard, but I fancy I could have trimmed poor old Sullivan In two rounds the night Corbett tumbled Into lhe championship. I will bet $5,000 Mitchell can't stay three rounds with me, and I want him to be well and sound, too.\ Fits has put on a great deal of flesh of late, and he proposes to enter the ring carrying a greater amount of avoirdupois than ever before. He was almost convulsed with merriment when told that Corbett asserted that he (Fits) would not be able to hit him. \Well If my arms are not paralyzed,\ he said, confidently, \I'll hit him all right I have never been up against a man I couldn't hit, and I have met the cleverest in the world. I hope to be- come champion of the world, and when I do I won't stand off honorable chal- lenges and fight every two or three years as Corbett has done. After a good rest I will meet any recognized champion of any country who has the ^... >11. CORBETT BY 1 metal to hark him. I ern told peter natter, the Irish champInn, means to challenge the winner or the tight, An far as I am eorieerned, I don't aee why I should be asked to meet Peter again after I defeated him so signally at New Orleans when I was a middle- weight. However, If the inducements are sufficient I will waive all objec- tions and give Peter another chance. In a word, I will meet all oomers of the championship class and not pose as an actor nor try to fill any other silly part for which I am unfitted.\ The picture shows Corbett's exact measurements and determines the ques- tion of reach, which has been in dis- pute a long time. Corbett was never measured with outstretched arms be- fore. A man should stretch with both arms spread out a distance equal to his height, according to an old rule. \Pom- padour Jim\ tills the bill exactly in this particular, for he is 73 inches across and 6 feet 1 inch tall. The rule doesn't work in the case of Fitzsim- mons, though, for he stretches out 6 feet 3% inches and tacks 6 feet in height by a full quarter of an inch. His advantage In height over Corbett may not be of great benefit to him, but it certainly cannot act as a handicap. Cor- bett does not figure on feeling Fitz's glove in his face continually in spite of Bob's superior reach. Fitz's chest measurement is one inch greater than Corbett's, and he might give Jim a good start also in a compe- tition in expansion. Fitz goes from 39 inches normal to 44 inches when his chest is tilled with air and his ehoul- der muscles are stiff. Corbett is 33 inches around the chest ordinarily and. 42 inches filled out. The students of form may weigh all these points. Here are the figures and, as a certain phi- losopher once said, figures don't lie: Cerbett. Fitzsimmons. 6 ft. 1 in Height 5 ft. 11% in. 27 years ..

AWAY WITH THE TAO. It Is au 'Dealt to a Shirt and a Nulannee to Its Wearer. As warm weather continues, swelter- ing mankind with one indignant voice demands the abolition of the senseless little tag which makers attaeh to the bottom of the moiern shirt front At beat this pesky tag is a useless fixture and two often it is an unsightly nui- sance. When it is concealed by the waistband of the wearer's trousers it frequently causes • lumpy wrinkle, and when it rises above that line it has an uncanny way of thrusting itself into view between the button- holes of one's vest. On the shirt of a man who goe• vestless in hot weather the little tag is a auttering badge of vulgarity, as audacious insult to good taste and a stae.ubg.alfrent to social order and progress. The tag letke one useless, witless and exasperittfng partàwiltioh evolution has not yet eliminated from the nineteenth oentury shirt It is a survival of the unfittest, a relic of the dark ages when a stranger desirous of cashing a check at the bank pointed to the initials on the tag of his shirt front as a means of identifying him- self; wherefore the offensive and os- tentatious tag must go. Suffering man has pulled the tag and evolution will do the rest. In This Work -a -Day World Brains and nervous systems often give way under the pressure and anxieties of business.
