WILL BOX CORBETT
Sharkey Meets the ex-Cham
pion’s Charity Plea.
NOT A FINISH FIGHT.
To be Under the Horton Law—The
Probable Match Between
.Dixon and Pluto.
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 7 —Tom Sharkey last
night issued the folowing letter: “I see
by the papers that Corbett wishes to re
trieve his laurels by making a proposal to
me that seems out of the question; but I
will not do as he and the man at present
who holds the championship and will not
'back un as they have done, by telling
their opponents that they should meet
somebody' else first.
"I will cover Mr. Corbett's forfeit, al
though I think it very foolish to meet in
private for $5,000 aside, when we can get
so much more money by boxing in public;
but if '.Mr. Corbett will find the plaec to
box in with ten men on a side and guar
antee me protection from arrest I will box
him. I will give the $5,000 to the poor of
New York, or what's better, seeing Mr.
Corbett has mentioned charity as an ex
cuse? for a return match, I will box him in
public, where there is no chance for arrest,
as it will be according to the Horton law
and will agree to give the whole or any
amount agreeable to him to be given to
the? poor, the* same to be under the* pro
vision of a commission from the press of
this city.
“The only proviso I wish to put is that
it I should make another match in the
meantime this match with Corbett is to
come off afterwards.”
George? Dixon, the feather weight cham
pion, has been matched to fight young
Pluto, the Australian champion. Dixon
and the foreigner have agreed to try con
clusions in a 20-round bout before the
Olympic A. C. at San Francisco some time
in February. It is Tom O’Rouke’s inten
tion to take his ■stable of boxers Lo San
Francisco after Sharkey has had one more
fight in the east, which will probably be
with Kid McCoy.
The arrangements for the Pluto-Dixon
match were made some time ago but ru
mors to -the effect that t h e later would
not fight again left, the match an uncer
tainty. However, Dixon has not decided
to retire for a while at least and will take
on a few good ones before he leaves th?
ring. Pluto is said to be the cleverest
boxer ai his weight that Australia ever
produced, barring that wonderful fighter
young Griffo, He comes to this country
with a clean record.

New York. Dec. 7 —The World says that
Henry B. Hyde, president of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, is seriously ill at
his home in this city, suffering from nerv

Herald from Managua says: “The new
Nicaraguan cabinet i,s composed as fol
lows: Foreign affairs, Joaquin Sanson;

nando Abanunza: public works. Leopold
Bamirez Mariena.
Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making a better ar
ticale than your competitor if you can
not get a beter price for it?
Aus. —As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much larger
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
that your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people have
been using it for years and have found
that it can always be depended upon. They
may occasionally take up with some fash
ionable novelty put forth with exagger
ated claims, but are certain to return to
the one reemdy that they know to be re
liable. and for coughs, colds and croup
there is nothing equal to Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. For sale by H. J. Lamar
& Sons.
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar

MY FRIEND FROM INDIA,
A Good Play at the Academy of Music To
night.
While theosophy is a valuable adjunct in
the make up of ‘‘My Friend from India”
that will be seen here tonight at the
Academy it is used neither seriously nor
as a satire. Many authors have had sad
experience with this subject, and the
•great success attained by Du Souchet is
undoubtedly acounted for by the fact that
he discovered the happy medium. No one
could possibly be offended were, he a be
liever or a disbeliever in the occult sci
ence; on the contrary those who are most
enthusiastic can but heartly enjoy the
vast amount of amusement wrought from
an incident of unusual occurrence. It is
this: ‘‘Erastus Underholt,” a rich pork
packer, residing in Kansas 'City, having
made a fortune, being pleased, with a
grown son and two lovely daughters, as
pires for their sake to enter society, but
he finds the doors barred against him.
Nothing daunted be determines to try the
swell in New York, and moves his goods
and chattels to that city. He meets with
the same cold reception, however, and
every succeeeding effort seems more and
more unsuccessful. Young Underholt,
who is decidedly a chip of the old block,
goes cut evening (as is his usual custom)
gets full, and meets, among others, an un
sophisticated barber, with whom he be
comes quite familiar, and whom he brings,
or rather, who brings him home. In the
morning he meets his sire, who thereupon
begins a tirade upon him. and to avoid
further wrath he introduces the unfortun
ate barber (who has donned a yellow bed
spread and entered locking for his clothes)
as a theosophist. Underholt a once seizes
upon the idea. Society is crazed with the
theosophy fad; this may be the pass word
to gain entrance. He forgets all about the
son's wrong doing, and at once plans to
break down the bars of the swell realm.
Now, it happens that barber knows
absolutely nothing of theosophy, but is
continually thinking of his strops and ra
zors and figuring how he can extricate
himself from his dilemma, until the two
daughters and young Underholt's* sweet
heart, who. of course, is following the fad.
fall in love with the so-called theosophist.
Then the fun begins—rivalry, love, aspira
i tions and hate, all combine to confuse and
I add to the complicaticns, all of which are
1 excruciatingly funny.
| It is to this extent only the subject of
i theosophy is utilized; it is sufficient, how-
I ever, for thousands upon thousands have
laughed at the awfully ridiculous situation
; of the red-headed barber and both the a
thor. H. A. DuSouchet, and its owners,
I Smyth & Rice, are in clover through its
' medium.

NEW WONK LN PROGRESS.
The Havaur Sewerage—Price of
Provisions Continues to Advance
—Exchange Falls.
t
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 7. —A dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says: A severe test
has been given to the new pier at Mariano
beach by a strong norther that has been
blowing for four days, and its builders are
pleased that it has weathered the attacks
of the waves. The storm has demonstra
ted, however, the impossibility of landing
troops or supplies there during the heavy
seas.
The result is that a new landing place |
has been selected at the Oil Company’s :
pier between Chorrera and Vedaro, near i
the mouth of the Chorra river. Wofik up
on the new docks at this point is being
hurried by the volunteer engineers and by
Sunday, when the troops are expected, any
transport drawing 25 feet of water or less
can be accommodated, thus obviating the
necessity of lighterage.
The volunteer engineers are now com
fortably encamped. They have had the
tent floors boarded and are busily pressing
forward the work for the reception of the
troops. On the site for the camp for the
first brigade the ground has been cleared,
streets have been marked out and every
thing has been put in readiness for their
arrival. Plans for the sewerage and wa
ter system have been completed and the
ground has been ploghed out for the ne
cessary pipes. Three sidings are being
constructed connecting the oamp with the I
railroad system and as soon as the neces
sary material arrives these variou works
will be ruhed. It is probable that ’much of
the work wil be given out by contract in
order to expedite matters.
President 'McKinley's message has given
the greatest satisfaction to the Cubans,
who look upon it as a definite declaration
of the policy of the United States towards
Cuba. Rafael Portuoneo, the president of
the Cuban assembly said:
“'The message is most satisfactory to Cu
ban aspiration an will have an excellent
effect here. It proves beyond further ca
villing and dispute the honest intention of
the United States toward Cuba. It will
quiet many of our more violent associates I
who have talked loudly about America, and
have been suspicious of her intentions. I
and it will enable those like myself who I
have believed and trusted in her to co- !
opei ate more fully with her officials in I
their work. It is a good message and fully |
satisfies us.”
In carrying out his work of sanitation I
for the city Maj. Davis with a sanitary in- I
spector made the rounds of the principal I
cases .and hotels, examining the internal I
arrangements with a view to issuing or- I
•ders for their compulsory cleaning.. Ot
the nine hospitals inspected by him Major
Davis reports that the Reina Mercedes is I
the Only one in fit condition to receive pa- I
tients.
Gen. Humphreys has -ordered that no I
Cuban physicians attend the men of the I
quartermaster's department, and in theT
future physicians of the marine hospi-tai
service will gie professional attention to
any of his men who may fall ill.
The prices of provisions continues to
advance, the supply not being equal to the
demand. New York exchange falls day by
day because of the cash being sent here
for the pay of employes of the govern
ment. i
