Faddy Campbell, of Howard street, Boston, says: Do not match Kilrain against Sullivan (or a year from date. But Mr. Fox, while confident that Kilrain won tho battlo and is the better man, wants the matter Bottled beyond all doubt.

Ilo thinks Smith's baokers mo afraid to put their money on him now since they havo seon the punishment he recoived, but whether Smith will agroo to a finish fight ho is uncertain. In caso Smith refuses, Mr. Fox will claim the bolt and stakes. He would rather tho men should moat again and sottlo matters, so that in tho fight with Sullivan, Kilrain could enter tho ring with a clean title to the world's championship. All that is to bo feared now, Mr, Fox says, is that Sullivnu will not fight. "I havo kopt all the agreements I havo mado," he says. with Kilrain, even to hand ing him the money in tho ring to bet with as he saw fit. I am prepared to koep my prom ises as well in any other battlo that may bo fought for tho Police Gazette bolt. But I novo stipulated that tho fight take place either in America or Moxico. I havo douo enough for England and tho English sporting men and press, and it is but right I Bhould now do something for tho American press. Should thoro bo an acceptance of tho challenge for Sullivan to meet Kilrain I shall stipulate only that in addition to the location the battle be fought within six months. And I think J ako can whip him." Dan Doherty Goes to Prison For Life. HrWOiL CABLX TO Till WOBLD.I London, Deo. 20. Dan Doherty, who shot and killed Qeorgo Graham, of Rochester, N.

Htckok, bolter known aa Wild lllll." Pages and almost volumes havo been written about blm, mostly In laudatory vein. While, undoubtedly, ho did not merit near all of these flattering lines, still thero waa some caueo for sounding his praises. He cer tainly was a dcolded Improvement over the gener ality of tbo border killers. He waa ohlvalrous, generoua and possessed of many gontlemanly In stincts, and bad it not been for his fondness of drlnklutr, gambling and killing people, no would have been it desirable addition to ant community. Bo it sabl to his honor that ho nororbarmod any one but tuugs, ouilawa and killers with whom ho came in loniact, and olton then In defense of self or a friend. At different tlmea 'Wild Bill" appeared at various Kansss towns that were then bully-ridden, and almost Invariably tho authorities utilized his abilities us a plstol-wlelder by appointing him Mar shal. Suoh was the caso in tho early days of Hays City, Kan., and, from 1807 to 1809, no occupied this otllco ao BUccosmully that a sreut many of tho toughs loft town or were unablo to do so by resson of having been the victims ol differences between themselves and the City Marshal. Inl819 wild Bill" was a candidate for the office of Sheriff, but was defcatod by l'ottr Lanahuu. This dlsgustod him ao inuoh that ho left Hays Uity, never to return. Soon altor Wild Bill's de parture there was muon need of his return. Ihere 'tnrnodup In Uaya City one of the most fin ished specimens of personified devlllshneis tbat ever cursed a border town with his murderous presence Ibis waa Jim Curry, a desperado so thoroughly evil that he seemed absolutely not to possess a sin. ale rodeemlog quality. Unlike many "killers," he did not oonflne his attentions to other things or peraons who had opposed or Injured him. but mur dered, seemingly, for the pleasure of killing. No ono waa safe from his attaoks, and daring his stay he created almost a reign of terror. Detailed ao oounta of his deeds' of blood and outlawry would fill a volumo of goodly size, but the reader would turn from It, sick with horror at the recital of his demoniacal depravity. Colored men were his favorite victim, and he killed several of them for no other ronon than that they wero black. Aooounts differ as to how many negroes were mnNered by him, tho numher being placed all tho way from lour to eleven. However, ft la an established fact that he thruw tho bodies into a dry well, where they more than covered the bottom. It U said that be frequently boasted that no would completely fill bis "nigger well" if the supply of colored men held out. A newcomer by the name of Brady waa murdered by Curry, who cut his vlotlm'a bead nearly off with a bowle-knlfo and threw tho body Into a box-car. Ho fastened tbo door, and It waa supiwsed that ho expected tbo train that took the car would bear tho body away. It was removed, however, end bnrled by friends. Curry was not Interfered with, for the reaion that no ono cared to face almost certain doatti by molesting him. Finally, however, came the crime that fully aroused tho law-abiding citizens to con certed action. While awsggering up the atroot Curry met a latecomer in the person of a harmless, Inoffensive boy of etahteen, Estea by name. Tbo desperado commanded him to hold up his hands, and wis promptly obeyed. Estes, knowing the devilish character of tho man, begged mom pltc ously for his life, bnt Curry only Jeered at his appeal. Ihen, placing his revolver to tho boy's breast, ho shot) him dead, and, stepping over tbo body, oontlnned his wy up tho street. While the thoroughly enraged citizens were organizing to pnt an end for good and all to the murderer Curry quietly decamped, A month later ho waa found lu a gully a bundrod miles away with a bullet through his head. Ilia slayer waa nover known, but It was generally believed that a relative of one of his victims followed and wreaked a Just ven geance upon him. While tno vigilantes failed to get Jim Cuary, they anccecded in accomplishing a great deal or sood by protecting the better data of citizens when the law was unablo to do so. Tho worst cnmlnuls wero a given a "short Bhlft and long rope," or escaped never to return. Many of the less advancod casea of criminality wero simply "run out" and solemnly warned never to visit Hays City again. It la almost needless to add tbat the warning waa heeded In all coses, backed as It waa by ready re volvers and an abundance of rope. The rnlo of the vts!llantc4 lasted a Uttlo over a year, and then, be coming lax, the toughs gained tno ascendancy. This reign of terror covered n period or two yoars, and then waned as the long-dormant power of tho law began to assert Itself. Although bathed In blood, as waa Havs City In Its Infancy, to-day thero la not a town in Kansas tbat bos a more law-abiding, Intelligent claaa of citizens. ITALY'S KINO AND COURT. A Pen Sketch of Humbert Tho Queen's) Chief r.ttdy-ln-WulllnB an American. From th. LouU.HU CourUvJovrnal. That slender, dark man, with a sad, solemn (ace, who can be seen any (air Sunday afternoon driving In the Borghese Gardens, outside of the city of Home, Is Humbert, King of Italy. He Is a very popular Prince, and appears oa all occasions un attended without the slightest fear of or danger from assassination. He la forty years old, daring ten of which he has eat on the throne of United Italy. He Is personally brave and devoted to horses and army life; was a brilliant cavalry officer. He la also deeply interested In naval affairs, and in endeavoring to create an Italian navy has spent more money than the financial condition of the country could afford. His manners are courteous, and be makes a favorable Impretaton npon all strangera wbo aro admitted to his presence. He has a decidedly practical mm of mind and is fonu ol reading, especially worka on national affairs and political economy. Humbert Ls devoted to his only child, a little boy about ten years old. It is a pleasant sight to see him sitting on his father's knee, with his little earnest face, reflecting tho In- aulring mind of his father. Tho Queen ls fonr or vo years younger than the King, and speaks French, Gorman and Fngllsh, and la very fond of the literature of thoao countries, especially the works of Goethe and Shakespeare. Sho baa en joyed a great reputation for I eauty among the princesses of Europe, but of late years she has grown almost too stout for grace. Sho ls said to no very charitable and a devout Catholic, notwith standing the relations between the Vatican and tho Qulrinau lhcre are five American ladles attached to the Italian court, all or whom havo marrlod Italian noblemen. One of these is the Marchesa Theodoll, formerly Miss Conrad, of Philadelphia. She ls the chief lady In waiting and la the moat beautiful woman In Italy. To be presented at coart It Is nee rrssary to have credentials showing the applicant to be a person holding a good social position. Ills moral status la not Inquired Into, as In the ante room of the Vatican prior to an audience ulth the Pope. It ls sufficient to be a gentleman, a cava lier anything, ao long as your appearance, your purse and your indorsements are satisfactory. Entering the Qulrlnal, you are at once struck with tho military appearanoo of the palace. Soldiers are everywhere. The reception takes place In the yellow room of the palace and the Marquis de Stufa, the Grand Chamuerlaln, makes the presentations. The furniture of this apartment ls of yellow satin damask, and a few bronze and marble statues adorn the room. The King, with the uueen leaning on bla arm, walks around and talks pleasantly to the guosta who have Icon presented. Tue King weara at these recep tions a military uniform; the Quean weara a dress of some neutral tint, her ornaments being pearls and diamonds, of which she la very fond. The conversation generally Is on some light toplo of the day, with an occasional re mark on literary or tclintlOo subjects. An au aieuce generally laata a hall an hour. The King and Queou are very happy In their domestic relations. Every Sunday afternoon they drive In the Bor gheie Gardens, but In separate carriages, etiquette not permitting them to urlve together. 1 he King frequently holds the relna himself, with the Crown t'rloee sitting by his side.

His appearance at onco throw tho woman into a sovoro fright. Ho was masked, having a largo whito cloth fnstouod to his hat. Through the oloth were two holes through which ho might boo. His opening salutation was, If you speak a word, you, I'll kill you." Then ho grabbed Mrs. Kussoll by both wrists and forced her across tho room, ltu lousing her wrists, ho tried to clasp hor ubout the waist. Her fears gave hor additional strength. She struggled long and with great vigor. Bound and round tho room thoy dos peratoly fought, while furnituro wan upset, and all the time tho attacked woman was ex ponding her strength in piteous cries for help, but thero was no one within tho sound of her voioe. The assailant tlion sought to conquer through mora brutal measures, and hu began to pummel and boat his victim, but to no purposo. Bravely and vigorously sho withstood the terrible pounding to which sho was sub jected, until finally the unknown man, find ing he could not ovortxnvor hor, and being alarmed at Mrs. IlubseU's piercing and pro longed cries for help, throw her to tho floor and hastily lookod ovor tho premises. Ho took Mr. Itussell's overcoat, first turn ing it insido out, and hurriedly departed. In about half an nour Mr. itussoll re turned.

Oontraot or no contract is tho issuo be tween the cabmen and stablemen and their omployorH. There is no question of wages or hours of labor. Increased rates have boon granted by tho livery men nnd the matter of hours has been waived by tho employes. Honce a big strike of cnbbios is very likely to oconr to-morrow. Holiday glft.seekurs who have been in tho habit of making tho rounds of tho stores just beforo Christinas will haui to resort to tho street railways or tho elevated roads and on foot. Tho Now York Oab Company's (Ityerson Brown's) 300 men nro still out, with no pros poct of an iinmodinto settlement. A couforoneo of the Kieoutivo Commit tee of District Assembly No. 4'J and a committoo from tho company will bo hold this aftJruoon, when n oompromiHo may bo e IToe tod, but tho question Is so plain oon troot or no oontraot that it is not likely au agreement will be mado, for both sides havo doolared their intention of adhering to tho Btand thus taken. Bo verul small stables nro also on striko to day, and all but tho four now under contract to employ thoir men for tho ensuing year will probably be struck to-morrow morning. The Liverymen's Association has declared oilloially that it will not make any yearly egroemont, and tho Liberty Dawn Associa tion deolares tbat thoy must or a strike will surely take place. Thus far no attempt boa been made by Ityerson A 11 r own to hlro new men, and their big business is at a standstill. Tho same ap plies to Beveral Bmaller stables. If a general striko ls made to-morrow, how. ever, new hands will be advertised for. Tho employers say that they con got them easily. The police captains in several precincts where liveries are looated have boon request ed to givo the employers protection against any vlolonce that may aneo, mid they have SromiBod to soo that order is presorved and isturbances pro vented as far as possible. Thus far the men out are orderly, quiet and sober and promfso to remain so. It is oxpected that more than five thousand drivers and stablemen will go out to-morrow morning, and with tho oxecption of tho fonr stables referred to, all conveyances will bo cut off from tho general publio. The present season is a very bnsv one, and an embargo pnt upon tho cab and hack busi ness would bo particularly damaging at this timo to all concerned. The cabmen say that it will be imposslblo for tho employers to obtain men in their places who are familiar with tho oity and with whom the publio would fool safo or certain of a con veyance to tho tilaoes desired, whilo on the other hand the bosses doolare that good nnd well-posted men are idle who would bo glad to get tho situations mado vacant by the mon already on strike. Thoy will hiro said men if their old employees do not waive tho re quest for a conrraot. Tho Executive Hoard of District Assembly No. 49 of tho Knights of Labor has tho mat tor in hand and will nttend to the conferonco with tho employers in bohalf of tho men.

Born. liarilt, with tho request that sho read It. JIme. Bernhardt, it is said, kept tho play for more than a year. At hor last appearanco in this country, at a mnlinc'o at ho Star Theatre, Barrymoro intorviowed hor upon tho subject, and sho expressed much pleasuro upon tho reading of tho work, but that was all sho did. And now comes Mr. Barrymoro's grievance Tho story of Sardou's latest play, "La Tosca," which is still running at tho Porto Bt. Martin, Paris, and which Miss Fanny Davenport is to produce at French fc 1 Banger's now theatre, in this city, has been sent to various Metropolitan nowspapers. Mr. Barrymoro read tho situation in which Mmo. Bernhardt figures so conspicuously uth considerable surprise, from tho fact that ho declares that ho recognizes tho entire 6ccuo as that of his play, "Nadjesda," the manuscript of which ho offered to Mmo. Bernhardt, and which has sinco been pro duced by Mme. Modjeska. Tho sceno repre sents La Tosca imploring tho King to save tho life of her lover. The King offers to do so if tho beautiful Ln Tosca will remain in his com pany. Slio consents to do so, and at tho ban quet that night La Tosca kills him. In "Nadjesda" tho heroine begs- tho old roudfor tho lite of her lover, and ho makes hor tho same proposition. Sho goes to the castlo with him and at a littlo supper kills tho roue. Mr. Barrymoro asserts that tho sceno cannot fail to bo recognized, and a gentleman who saw Mme. Modjeska in Mr. Barrymoro's play said tho samo thing yesterday. Mr. Barrymoro is very excited. Not vory long ago M. Sardou is said to have exclaimed: whenovor I pro duce a now piny tho cry of Stop thief is raised." Mr. Barrymoro intends to wait until La Tosca is produced here and to seo tho hituation for himself. Thon, after writing to Mmo. Bernhardt and M. Sardou and assert ing his rights as collaborates, ho will appeal to tho Frencli Authors' Association. Barry, inoro soys he hns received numerous lottors from friends in England satisfying him of the similarity betwen Sardou's new play and "Nadjcbda." Tho company engaged to play Paul Kauvar, or Anarchy, btoele Mackaye's latest effort, at tho Standard Theatre next Satur day night, aro hard at work. On Thursday there will bn a dress rehearsal of n very com plete character. The only complaint mado by the members of tho company is that Mr. Mackayo will insist upon delivering a lecture upon the, Delsnrto theory at each rehearsal. Tho Lyceum Theatre plays havo started out with considerablo success so far, although this is only the first heaBon that tho thcatro, under its now management, has sent out at tractions.

Tho Main Lino," which is being dono through tho country, is not produced under tho pres ent Lyceum Theatro management. It was given at that theutro b'eforo tho present regime was known. It is tho only play in 1 the tour for which tho Lyceum Theatre is not f responsible and in which it has no interest. I V Col. John A. McCaull's benign features graced tho Fifth Avenue Theatro last night. lie came in to havo a chat with Manager Schroeder, and paid no attention whate er to Mr. Mansfield and his Monsieur." Col. McCaull said that "Tho Begum" would bo produced in Chicago next week, and thero would be a "big timo" in that city, as both tho author and composer were Chicagoans by adoption.

THE TRADE IN CHRISTMAS CARDS. New and Artistic Designs In Everything Ex. cept Cheap Gooda. Thoso who imaginothat tho Christmas card business has reached its limit aro very much inistakon. To be suro thoro is very little im provement from year to year among tho choapor quality of cards, and for from 2 to 10 conts the buyer gets tho same old designs that havo bcou in tho market for tho post fivo or six years. Theso are printed principally by tho small lithographic firms, who flood tho market with their wares early in tho season. If they havo any of their goods loft over after tho holidays, as they usually do, they aro just as good next season, and they are mixed up with a few now choap designs and are put in tho market again. Theso aro tho cards that aro to bo found on tho cheap street-stands all over tho city. For tho most part they are inartistic in design aud crudo in execution, and attract tho eyo principally by the gaudiness of thoir color. Tho real improvement in the trade is to bo seen among tho productions of tho best man ufacturers both in this country and in Eng land, and this season, as it is universally re ported that tho business is more nctivo than over, tho variety and number of the new do signs seems to correspond in equal ratio to tho increased demand. Tho new stylos aro principally in tho direc tion of now and striking forms, as in the metalline decoration which consists of a plaquo-liko card of somo metallio color, pressed and ornamented, with some hand sketch in the finer goods, but with litho graphs in tho cheaper grades. Thoso are suitablo for wall decoration and can bo utilized other ways. Another direction in whioh 'improvement has been mado is in tho artistic finish of the carls many of tho best artists contributing to tho designs, and again in the greator num ber of 'the moro olaboratcly gotten up cards, as in hand-painted landscapes on satin. Then, of course, thero aro the usual designs in figured cards, which havo been popular so many years, but it is said that vory few of them are being sold this season, tho demand for novelties having crowded them to the back of tho counter. Another sty lo of card which is a novelty this season is flower work in roliof. Tho colors aio brought out vividly, and tho whole is given a realistio effect by means of a glossy nish that makes them very attractivo to thoso who are looking for something showy as well as tasteful and artistic. Ordinary lithograph designs in flowers mado by the best houses are very beautiful, and still find many admirers. They may or may not be accompanied by appropriate mottoes. Still another varioty of holiday cards which are becoming popular aro reproductions in miniature of landscapes by well-known artists done in wator colors by some skilful copyist. These, of courso, to be effective must be ex ecuted with groat care and troth to the orig inal. Tho best specimens sell from $6 to $10 each. Tho othor novelties sell all tho way from 60 cents up to $8 and $0 for tho most claborato designs. Nlllca, the JJeee' Dellaht. Try the delightful old Eutern perfume, NlUes.

A similar precaution might havo saved moro than ono of Yankee Sullivan's oppo nents a licking. A man isn't down under London prizo ring rules unless two knees or a hand and a knee are on tho turf.

They look up to their bus band as the recognized head of tho house and acknowledge his authority on all vital que it Ions; bat nil thtnsjs pertaining- to tho management of the houaehold or the rearing of the children are given completely into the hands of the women, and the keynote of their nature Is love, full, complete and abounding towards their husbands and children and even their dumb animals, aud wherosomuch love Is happr homes must be. Mexican home life and customs change littlo with the succeeding years, and probaulv tho Mexi cans are the most conservative and stubborn peo ple In existence as to adopting reforms or Innova tions, and so to-day tho samo simple domestic Implements are used even by those well able to afford our labor-saving Inventions, and those who build houses preserve as far as possible the ancient type of dwelling that sailed their forefathers; and they are as onary about American fnrnlturo aa about their architecture.

GtIT LETTERS PROM HIS DEAD WIFE. Tho Blrnnno Kxprrlenco of a Farm llnmt In Nebraska Who la the Woman f .V&rati tttttr lo Kantai City Jo-rnnM William S. Altulsou, a farm hand working for a man by the name of II ll, aiioiit fotinci n miles west of this cliy, wus In iho city Ihli week ami rci ted a strange sturj, which In substance was as follows: Ho fays he wss mnrrled In IlilnoU nbottt six yens ago, mid three yours later his wife dlud very stuldcnlv. He attended the luncral, as a matter of courso, looked for the laat time upon th face be h d loved In Hie, now cold In rath, aiw tho coffln cl acd, Ioho ed In tho grave, aud he rd tha awful aound, as the earth from tho gravedlgger's shovel fell upon iho conin.llil that hid fiom sight all that he held dear In this world. Hhorlly after thu dcatu and burial of hla wife he removed to Kama nnd for the past voir has been lu Nebraska. In all this there Is notning singular; such things happen every day. Now cornea tho strange pnrt of bis slory. He says that shortly after rtuchlug Kansas ho received a letter, d.ited and postmarked ill hla ol I home ln Illinois, signed by hlswlto's name, "Lulu," and unmistakably In her handwritlnir. Of this latter laot ho la assured, as he compared tho hand writing with that ot several letters re ceived from his wife before his marrlauo, wnlrh ho still has lu hla posntslou. Mio said In the latter that aha waa very lonoly, missed him greatly and Implon cl him to return to her. The only Hlugular thing to ono not knowing tho facta of tue caao waa astuteneo something like this: You all ihougut I died, but I did not, and uin much belter than when I saw you last." To tho latter part of this sentence Almlion could or would not attempt nu explanation. Otbcrwlso the letter wna suuli aa any wife might write to un absent husband. Hluce tiion at irregular intervals ho has received other letters, all couched In endearing language, but making no attempt to explain the myati-ry. One c line from Couuordia, Km., near whluu placo flace he waa located before coming to iNeliia.ka. nthlatbo writer bitterly bewulled the fact of his leaving beforo she reached him. At llrat Aluiiaon thought some of hla former ac quaintances ln Illinois were playing a ghastly prac tical Joke, hut after reconlux several letters began to feel disturbed, and sni them back to ma wife's parents lu Illinois. They sgreed wlih him that the handwriting wna that of their daughter, but could odcr no explanation. He aniwered uno of iho letters, addressing It "Mrs. W. H. Almlson,"aud It waa returned to hint at this city from the Dead Letter omce. The last letter received from hla "wife" camo ubout tbree wceka ago, dated at Tablo Itock, this State, and elated that Lulu" was thOre alck, out of money, and asking him to como to her relief. Atmlson left Immediately upon receipt ot this letter for Table Hock. Upon Investigation after his arrival, he found that a woman nau been al the hotel thi re, arriving several days before he did. Mho was sick when sho reached there, contlned to her room inoat of tho time, a d left after a week's stay for tin one know where. In tho register at tho botel he found the name "Mrs. Lulu Aimtson,"no piaco of resi dence being given. The handwriting was Hcutlcjl with that of the letters he had received. The de scription of the woman glvi n by people at the hotel waa almuBt Identical with that of bis wife tho last time he saw hor alive. There w re slight dis crepancies, but nothing but what three years' time account for. Almlaon, now thoroughly arouaed, and determined to get at the bottom of the affair, left at onco for Illinois and had the remalna of his wife exhumed, finding them as they had boen burled; there could be no mistake about that. The queallou Is who sent the letters' and who Is the woman? Mr. Almiajii Is a fairly educated man, not at oil superstitious, but acknowledges that the atralr has worried him a great dral. Ilia reputa tion here la good, his employer speaking very highly ot him. Ho aaya If he receives any mo.e letters ho will not allow them to tioublo htm, but will make an earnest effort to discover their antbor, and when he does bai promised to tell what happens Qnecr Hoax on Mayor Hewitt.

When the caso of tho people against John Doo for tho murder of Andrew Peterson was called for trial there was not half bpuco enough in tho court-room for thoso who crowded to hear it. Tho District-Attorney preseuted his case, giving tho points found out by tho police. The chambermaid and Mrs. Peterson testified, and Officer Mul vaney and tho butcher boy wero also ex. amined. Tho second-hand clothes dealer told his story, and the tablo cover mid Mr. Peterson's clothes wero offered in evidence. The caso lookod bad for the prisoner. Tho young lawyer said that ho had no wit. ileuses to offer, and didn't want any. The prisoner at the bar was un innocent man. lie was suro of it and he felt convinced that tho jury would be of tho same opinion before ho sat down. He had not placed tho prisoner on tho stand because his story, although true enough, was puzzling. It was also unuec. essary to havo it told. Then ho informed tho jury that ho did not know that Mr. Peterson was dead. Tho hotly found was unrecog nizablo, aud although tho prosecution Niid it was Mr. Peterson's, they had not proved it.
