He is doing cross-country work, and yesterday made a good showing on foot inst Dal Hawkins with a speed horse and light road buggy. After a ru down he exercised with the wrist machine for ten minutes. This is one part of his training course to which the ambitious and untiring Corbett does not take kindly. He says it is too monotonous to interest him. Bag punching and red-hot tilts with Jeffries, Ed Green and McVey are what delights the Californian, and he gives these men all they can do to satisfy him. The mail pouches continue to bring in all sorts of queer letters to both fighters. The latest to Corbett came yesterday, and it greatly amused him. It reads: “MONTREAL.

CARSON, Nev., March 6.—If either of the big fighters does outdoor work to-day it will be wading through snow drifts, for Carson is once more covered with a few feet of the white nuisance. The fall began yesterday morning and continued until far into the night. All this pleases nobody but the gentlemen who operate livery sta- bles, for it means much added wealth to them. There seems to be a rule in Carson City that anything on runners shall cost more than anything on wheels. There was the usual crow around the depot this morning to witness the alleged coming of John L. Sullivan, who, as usual, did not arrive. Nobody seems to know when Sullivan is coming, or whether he is coming at all, but in Carson City and in Reno crowds surround every incoming train to catch a glimpse of the man who gave Corbett a chance to rise to the top in the fighting world. A regiment of Corbetts and But one of these “‘bug’’ letters received by Fitzsimmons has been answered, 4l- though each one requests the honor of a reply. A man in New Jersey wrote it, and sa'd he was the only man in a town of 400 who picked Fitz for the winner. “T told them around here that I was go- ing to write to you,”’ said the New Jersey man. “They said you would not open m letter, let alone read it. hope you will send mea reply, so that -they will be fooled.” Fitzsimmons complied with the request briefly as follows: “It is a sad thing to reflect that you are the only man in all your little burg who is gifted with sense and judgment. I am proud to know you.”’ Yarrum, the big dog which Fitz uses in training, allowed his temper to break. loose the other night, and a gp well worth seeing followed. Yarrum was on the Cornish- man’s bed, and Fitz wanted the warm place. He pushed the great Dane off, but the dog returned. Fitz again threw him off the In March, April and May use Paine’s cel- ery compound. And only Paine’s celery compound! it ig nature’s remedy. i. Do not for a moment confound it with any of the ignorant, catchpenny, short-lived pat- ent remedies—sarsaparillas, nervines and tonics that bear as much resemblance to Paine’s celery compound as the parasite vines do to the oaks that they live on. Paine’s celery compound cures disease. It makes people well. It has saved the lives own canvasses again this year, have found that the demand fo?’ Paine’s celery com- pound surpasses that of all other remedies together! Paine’s celery compound, taken during the early spring days, has even more than its usual remarkable efficacy in making people well. It makes short work of disease. It rapidly drives out neuralgia, sleeplessness, dyspepsia and rheumatism from the system. It removes that lassitude, or “‘tired feeling,” which betokens weakened nerves and poor blood. Women working in close offices, sales- women tired out and nervous from long hours’ standing on their feet and waiting on impatient, irritating customers; over- worked, worried and disheartened men and women everywhere will be astonished to find how much happier life becomes when their nerves have been-strengthened and their blood purified by means of this great remedy.

Notorious Women Sneer at a Fine and Appeal to Judge Murpby. Gertie Riddle, George Riddle and Nellie Connelly were arrested Friday evening at 13 North Ninth street, on complaint of Frank Williams of Eureka Springs, Ark., who al- leged that he had been enticed into the room by Maggie Raymond, alias Maggie Daily, a courtesan, and robbed of $48 by means of the panel game. Maggie Daily made her escape at the time, but met retribution later in the First Dis. trict Police Court, when she, in company with Ida West and May gers, was fined $100 by Judge Peabody. These three women are the most notorious thieves in the city, who rob unsuspecting Rubes of thousands of dollars annually by means of the panel game in the various assignation houses over which the West woman presides. The three women received the announce- mane of 2 $100 fine with a sneer. sé . t i a oe + Seats now on sale for eck ob The Liliputians in apt Fu: CENTURY THEATER, | » MISS OLGA NETHERSOLE t OE. cubscdivedséceocecbeobaesone JAR.

They will be icked men from San Francisco, Denver, ew York, Boston, St. Louis, Philadelphia, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Chicago. In addi- tion the Carson Sheriff will swear in 600 deputies and place them at the disposal of Mr. Pinkerton. Mr. Pinkerton will leave Chi- cago with his men on March 10. Up to the day of the fight the men will remain at Reno, where they will intercept undesirable char- acters and prevent them from going to Car- eon. If Stuart's plans are carried out there will be no possibility of trouble. The one anxiety now expressed by Cor- bett’s trainers is that the Pompadour may catch cold before the day of the fight, and quinine and mustard are being received in w e orders at Corbett’s training quar- ters. “We are not going to wait for any cold to develop,”’ said Charles White last “At the first wheeze from Jim's ungs we will set right to work doctoring im.” White adds that up to date no ault can be found with Corbett’s breath- aratus, The champion is in good which means good health, and as an ment that his ‘“pipes’’ are not c nor liable to be stopped up, White ingenuovsly adds that Corbett “sings in a high key,”’ when not engaged in training.

The dog is not a favorite at training quarters with Visitors because he has such a devilish dis- position. Everybody was highly delighted to Know he had been whipped. Dan Stuart’s force of clerks are given no breathing spell for the great pile of letters containing requests for seats. In nearly every case the writer asks that his request be treated confidentially and one man, said to be a rich packer from Kansas City, wrote for tickets not only for himself, but for his wife, son and daughter. Stuart says, in re- gard to accommodations, that he has 2,000 unclaimed rooms on his list. This ts count- ing one bed to a room, which is much better than they did at the World’s Fair, or any big convertion. Besides this there are 4,000 cots ready to put in public buildings and rivate families. There will easily be beds or 6,000 people in all. The Pullmans will be ut near the race track, where the Virginia ailroad has a side track that will hold 180 cars, with forty dining cars. Then there are several hotels and restaurants at Reno and Virginia City which can be utilized if Car- son is overcrowded. It is a nicé two hours’ drive with a slow horse from Virginia City to Carson and about twice as long from Reno. The trains make the trip regularly. It has been decided that the tickets for the Siler-Hogan special which is to leave Chicago about the J3th inst., will have at- tach a coupon caNing for a reserved seat at the ring side. There have been set aside for this party of excursionists 150 seats at $20 apiece and fifty-one seats at $40 each It seems also that the tickets of the Alton Railroad will have a coupon calling for a seat, a high or low priced one as may be desired. And it is not improbable that other roads may make similar arrangements to save passengers annoyance of getting seats after their arrival here. The Siler-Hogan train will go over the Alton to Kansas City, thence via the Union Pacific to Og- den, the Southern Pacific to Reno and the RO ya A to Carson. A rate of , rom Sa e to 'thi has been announced. = city end return DENVER, Colo., March 6.—The Den Rio Grande and Rio Grande Western sas roads have made an excursion rate of $53 from Denver to Carson, Nev., and return for the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight. Tickets will be goss on trains leaving Denver on the 14th and 16th. The journey takes two days. Trains on all roads from the Dast arrive in time to make connections with the Rio Grande’s morning train for Salt e. There is also a train leaving Denver in the evening. The Rio Grande will run one spe- cial excursion train which, it is expected, will take about 18 Coloradoans to the fight. Besides three excursion trains from the Past are scheduled to go over this rotte. These are: Parson Davies’ special train from Chicago via the Rock Island to Den- ver, @ « al on the Missouri Pacific from i Tene snsianapona, and a special m nna uisville and Lexin n via the Santa Fe. = DAVE FOUTZ DEAD. Ex-Brown Stocking Player Passes Away at Baltimore. Dave Foutz is dead. The Baltimore manager and ex-player with the “four-times winners,” the Browns, passed away at his home in the Oriole City Friday evening. Asthma was the cause of death. Foutz was probably one of the greatest ball players the country ever saw and had the reputation of being one of the hardiest as well as one of the most gentlemanly players on the diamond.

Gioja, at 100 to 1, won: Gomez, at 12 to 1, second, and Stachelberg, the sure thing, was third. Soraape the bockies did not reap a har- vest! The only winners by the race among local bettors, so far as is known, were a number of the Liliputians, who have been playing the races steadily since their visit here. The little people made a pool of $1 and played the horse, not on chance, but because, they claim, he had been tipped to them to win. SELECTIONS. San Francisco.

Corbett Money in Chicago. CHICAGO, March 6.—Two fair-sized bets were made at Chapin & Gore’s last night. George Koster laid against Fred Adams’ 400, Koster taking the Corbett end. Pp. omeroy, who has $1,500 to bet on Fitzgsim- mons, placed $200 of it against $250, John Roach holding the stakes in both cases. At Vere Davies’ place three bets of $100. to $3) were made.

Four years ago he framed the first bill presented to Con- gress and carried the document to Wash- ington and ‘gave it to W. 8. Forman, who represented the East St. Louis district in crack out of the bo Tommy's knee joint — the celebration several companions to a. post-inaugural celebration. An hour later a surgeon was called to the Mitchell home bullet from Tommy’s right knee. The boys got a large to extract a stone and hammer with which the cartridges and the “first ‘bust ’ the bullet struck to was eclared off, hen Tommy got the House. Mr. Stephens remained. in Washington several weeks during the ses- sion of ’93-’94 and labored incessantly to get the measure through. It received favorable consideration at the hands of the commit- tee and finally the House passed it after a hard fight. In the Senate the measure was violently opposed by Senator (now Governor) Mc- Laren of Mississippi, who got it smothered in committee. This was the fate of the bill at every succeeding session of Congress un- til the last. When Mr. Forman was succeeded in Con- gress by Mr. Murphy the latter looked after the interests of the measure and Mr. Ste- phens made several trips to the capital to see that “no rights were lost.’”’ The most violent opposition to the passage of the bill came from the Eads’ and Mer- chants’ bridge interests. The provisions of the new measure were not calculated to make these corporations fall in love with it as it pravided for a sweeping reduction ‘in rates. As adopted the bill will cut bridge rates not less than 40 per cent. The western terminus of the new struct- ure when completed will probably be in the vicinity of Cass avenue, and the east end strike the levee at the waterworks north of the Wabash freight depot, and on a di- rect line with the National Stock Yards. The bridge will be available only for street car and wagon traffic and foot passengers. The elist of Mr. Stephens’ yt rey in the effort to secure the bridge includes; A. J. Tullock, a prominent bridge builder and contractor of Leavenworth, Kan.; Paul W. Abt, president of the First National Bank of East St. Louis; Henry D. Sexton, Presi- through yelling not one of his companions remained to send for a doctor, gnd Thomas limped home. The surgeon found the bul- let sticking under the knee-cap and dis- odged it. CAPTURE OF “COCKEYE.” His Other Name Is Walsh and He Shot at a Policeman. A warrant for assault with intent to kill was issued against James, alias ‘“Cockeye” Walsh Saturday. A week ago Patrolman Meyer of the Fourth Police District at- tempted to arrest Welsh on the charge of loitering. Walsh resisted and shot at the pencenay the ball perforating the officer’s elmet. Walsh escaped. He was arrested by Patrolmen Dinneen and O’Brien Friday night. ‘“‘Cockeye’’ Walsh is a well-known local crook.
