2 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.

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.

SALVADOR IS PACIFIED The New President Throws a Few Large Banquets at Himself. By Associated Press. New York, Dec. 7 —’A dispatch to the Herald from Panama says: Advices con firm all the details of the Salvador revolu tion. The country is now completely paci fied. On assuming the presidency, Senor Regalado sent the following message to the president of Nicaragua, which also outlines the policy of his government. He says: “A revolutionary movement has been peacefully effected and has the support of the general public. I have made myself chief of this republic. 'My first act. in ac cordance with public opinion, has been to sever the ties of the union which the re publics of Honduras and Nicaragua effect ed by the treaty of Amapala as the unijn has not received the sanction of the people of Salvador and interfere with their most vital interests. I shall notwithstanding, join the union of the Central (American republics when it suits the interests of and is desired by the people. In the mean time it shall he my constant aim to main tain the most friendly relations with our sister republics and to follow the principle of non-intervention in the international affairs of each country and I expect re ciprocity. ' Tomaso Regalado.” 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. ’99 Ramblers, S4O. Typewriters. $15.00 up; fresh stock car i bon and ribbons. J. W. Shinholser. MACON NEWS'WEDNESDAY EVENING,, DECEMBER 7 189.. CUBANS-PLEASED. They Like the Tone of the! President’s Message 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 A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. I Hart, of Groton, S.
