CHRIST, THE CONQUEROR
WAS THK SVBJECT FOK THE TABER
NACLE SERMON SUNDAY.
Dr. Talmage Discourses on tbc Coming of
Christ to Fight Bis First Battle *<>r
Religion-Who Joined His blandard.
Brooklyn, N. Y-. March 4.-(Special.)-
From the startling figures of the text
by Rev. Dr. Talmage in his sermon m the
Brooklyn tabernacle today, the preacher
brought out the radical truths ot the < hri..-
tlan religion. It was sacramental day in
the tabernacle. The subject of the sermon
was •‘Christ,the Conqueror,” the text being,
Isa. 63: 1: “Who is this that cometh from
Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?
this that is glorious in his apparel, travel
ing in the greatness of his strength
Edom and Bozrah. having been the scene
of a fierce battle, when those words arc
used here or in any other part of the Bible,
they are figures of speech setting forth
scenes of severe conflict, as now wo often
use the word Waterloo to describe a decisive
contest of any kind, so the words of Bozrah
and Edom in this text are figures of speech
descriptive of a scene of great slaughtet.
Whatever else the prophet may have meant
to describe, lie must certainly have meant
to depict the Lord Jesus Christ, saying:
“Who is this that cometh from Edom, with |
dyed garments from Bozrah, traveling in
the greatness of his strength?"
When a general is about to go out to the
wars, a flag and a sword are publicly pre
sented to him, and the maidens bring flow
ers. and the young men load the cannon,
and the train starts amidst a huzza that
drowns the thunder of the wheels and the
shriek of the whistle. But all this will give
no idea of the excitement that must have
been in heaven when Christ start
ed out on the campaign of the world's con
quest. If they could have forseen the siege
that would be laid to Him, and the mal
treatment He would suffer, and the burdens
He would have to carry, and the battles lie
would have to fight, I think there would
have been a million volunteers in heaven
who would have insisted on coming along
with Him, but no; they only
accompanied Him to the gate,
their last shout heard clear down to
the earth, the space between the two worlds
bridged with a great hosanna. You know
there is a wide difference between a man’s
going off to brittle and coming back agaju.
When he goes off, it is with epaulets un
tangled, with banner unspecked, with horses
1 sleek and shining from the groom. All
j that there is of struggle and pain is to
come yet. So it is with Christ. He had not
j yet fought a battle. He was starting out,
j and though this world ilii? not give Hii’l a
| warm-hearted greeting, there was a gentle
j mother who folded Him in her arms; and a
! babe finds no difference between a stable
I and a palace, between courtiers and camel
I drivers. As Jesus stepped on the stage of
i this world, it was amidst angelic shouts in
the galleries and amidst the kindest mater
nal ministrations. But soon hostile forces
began to gather. They deployed from the
Sanhedrim. They were detailed from the
standing army. They came out from the
Cesarean castles. The vagabonds in the
street joined the gentlemen of the man
sion. Spirits rode up from hell, and in long
array there came a force together that
threatened to put to rout this newly ar
rived one from heaven. Jesus now seeing
the battle gathering, lifted His own stand
ard; but who gathered about it? How fee
ble the recruits! A few shoremen, a blind
beggar, a woman with an alabaster box,
another worn: t with two inites, and a
group of fri* Tess, moneyless and posi
i tionless peopl tme to his standard. What
chain— was ?re for Him? Nazareth
against Him. thleliem against Him. Ca-
p'Tiiaum :;ga:.;st linn. Galilee against
Him. The courts against Him.
The army against Him. The throne
: against Him. The world against Him.
All hell against Him. No wonder they asked
i Him to surrender. But He could not
i surrender, He could not apologize lt.e ■■ om->

lhej looked, and they watched. Oh wha‘
an uneven battle’ Two worlds armed on
one sale; an unarmed man on the other.
The regiment if the Roman army at that
time Stationed at Jerusalem began the at
tack. They knew how to light, tor they
belonged to the most thoroughly IrTled -n
--mv of the world. V. ith spears glitt'ering* in
the sun, they charged up the hill. The horses
prance and rear amidst the excitement of
the populace the he. Is of the .-iders plung
ed in the flanks, urging them on. The weap
ons begin to toll on Christ. See how faint He
looks! There the blood starts, and there,
and there and there. If He is to have rein
forcements, let Him call them up now. No;
He must do this work alone-- alone. He is
dying. Feel for yourself of the wrist; the
pulse is feebler. Feel under the arm; the
warmth is less. He is dying. Ay, they pro
nounce Him dead. And just at that mo
ment that they pronounced Him dead He
rallied and from His wounds He unsheath
ed a weapon which staggered the Roman
legions down the hill, and hurled the Satanic
battalions into the pit. It was a weapon of
love—infinite love, all-conquering love.
Mightier than javelin or spear, it triumphed
over all. Put back, ye armies of earth and
heil! The tide of battle turns. Jesus hath
overcome. Let the people stand apart and
make a. line, that lie may pass down from
calvary to Jerusalem, and thence on and
out all around the world. The battle is
fought. The victory is achieved. The tri
umphal march is begun. Hark to the hoofs
of the warrior’s steel, and the tramping
of a great niultit mle! for He has many
friends now. The Hi ro ( f eart i and heaven
advances. Cheer! cheer! “Wno is this tli.it ;
cometh from Edon, with dyed garments i
from Bozrah, traveling in the greatness of |
st’-eneth?”
You have noticed that when soldiers come I
home from the wars, tin y carry on fbelr i
fl’-ivs the names o’’ Hi” Ir l ’tlcldds. where i
they were distinguished. The Englishman
coming back has on his banner Inkermann .
and Balaklava; the Frenchman. Jem and :
Fvl-in- the German. Versailles and Sedan. |
And ciirist has on the banner He curries as i
conqueror the names of ten thousand mt
tbfields He won f. r you and for me. He
rides past all our homos of bereavement— i
by the doorbell swathed in sorrow, by the
wardrobe black with woe. by the iLsman
tled fortress of our strength. Come cut and
gr.et him today. <> ye neople! See the
nnmes of all ill” batll epass's on His flag.
Ye who are poor, read on this ensign the
store of Christ’s hard crusts and pillowless
head. Ye who are persecuted, read here of
the ruffians who chased Him from His first
breath to His last. Mighty, to soothe your
troubles, mighty to balk your calamities, I
mighty to tread down your foes, “traveling |
io tbo grentne a s of HD strength. ’ Though
His horse be brown with the dust of the
mm-ch and th- f ■♦lo -ks b" w< • with the
carnage, and the bit be red with the blood
of your spiritual foes. He ’omos i p now,
not exhausted from the battle, but fresh as
when he went into it -coming up from Poz
rah. “traveling in the greatness of His
strength.”
We hold here a new revelation of a
blessed and startling fact. People talk of
Christ as though Ho were going to do some
thing grand for us after awhile. He has
done it. People talk as though ten or
twenty years from now, in the. closing
hours of life, or in some terrible pass of
life, Jesus will help us. He has done the
work already. He did it eighteen hundred
and sixty-one years ago. You might as
well talk of Washington as though he were
going to achieve our national independence
in 1950, as to speak of Chirst as though he
were going to achieve our salvation in the
future. He did it in the year of our Lord
33, eighteen hundred and sixty-one years
ago, on the field of Bozrah, the captain of
our salvation lighting unto death lor your
and my emancipation. All we have to do is
to accept that lact in our hearc of hearts,
and wc are free from this world, and we
are free for the world to come. But, lest
we might not accept, Christ conies through
here today, “traveling in the greatness of
his strength,” not to tell you that he is
going to lignt for you some battle in the
future, but to tell you that the battle is
already fought, and the victory already
won.
You know that when Augustus, and Con
stantine, and Trajan and Titus came back
from the wars what a time tliere was. You
Know tney came on norsebacK or in char
iots. ami there were tropnies before and
tliere were captives behmu. and there were
people shouting on aibsides, and there were
garianus Hung from the window, and over
me highway a triumphal arch was sprung.
Tne solid masonry today at Beneventum,
Rimini and Rome still tell their admiration
for those heroes. And shall we let our
Conqueror go without lifting any acclaim?
Have we not Howers red enough to depict
the carnage, white enough to celebrate the
victory, fragrant enough to breathe the joy?
Those men of whom 4 just spoke dragged
their victims at the chariot wheels, out
Christ, our Lord, takes those who once were
captives and invites them into His chariot
to ride, while He puts around them the arm
of His strength, saying: “1 have loved thee
witli an everlasting love, and the waters
shall not drown it, and the fires shall not
burn it, and eternity shall net exhaust it.”
If this be true 1 cannot see how any man
can carry his sorrows a great while. If
this Conqueror from Bozrah is going to
beat back all your griefs, why not trust
Him? Oh! do you not feel under this gos
pel your griefs falling back, and your tears
drying up. as you hear the tramp of a
thousand illustrious promises led on by the
Conqueror from Bozrah. “traveling, travel
ing, in the greatness of His strength?”
On that. Friday which the Episcopal
church rightly celebrates, calling it “Good
Friday,” your soul and mine were con
tended for. On that day Jesus proved him
self mightier than earth and hell, and when
the lances struck Him He gathered them
up into a sheaf, as a. reaper gathers the
grain, and He stacked them. Mount
ing the horse of the Apo-
Crilypsc, Tic rode down throurrh
the ages, “traveling in the greatness of His
strength.” On that day your sin and mine
perished, if we will only believe it.
There may be some one here who may
say, “I don’t likb the color of this conquer
<»!* s trarm ills. *‘Ygu toil nit* tir-'t i \ ’ 1
meats were not only spattered with the
blood of conflict, but also that they were
soaked, that, thev were saturated, that, they
were dved in it.” 1 admit it. You say you
do not like that. Then 1 quote to you two
juis-ages of scripture: “Without the shed
ding of blood there is no remission.” “In
the blood is the atonement.” But it was
not your blood. It was Ills own. Not only
enough to n lien His garments ana io
redden H:« horse. h»t enough to wash ar- v
the sins of the world. Oh, the hood on His
brow, the blood on His hands, the blood on
His feet, the blood on His side! It seems
as if an artery must have been cut.
“There Is n fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel’s veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.”

merciful God lias sent forth the archangel
of sleep and he puts his wings over the city.
But yonder is a clear light burning, and
ontsiae on the window casement a glass or
pitcher containing food lor a sick child;
the food is set in the fresh air. This is the
sixth night tiiat tnotner has sat up witn
that suHcrer. She lias to the last point
obeyed the physician's prescription, not
giving a drop too much or too little, or a
moment too. soon or too late. She is very
anxious, foil she has buried three eliildri h
witli the same disease, and sue prays and
weeps, each prayer and sob ending witli a
kiss of the pal" check. By dint of kindness
she gets the litli" one through the ord al.
After it is ail over the in iilier is taken
down. Brain or nervous fever sets in, and
one day she leaves the convalescent child
with a mother’s blessing and goes up to
join the three in the kingdom of heaven.
Life for life. Substitution! The fact is
that there are an uncounted number ot'
mothers who, after they have navigated a
large family of children through all the dis
eases of infancy and got them fairly started
up the flowering slope of boyhood and girl
hood, have only strength enough left, to die.
They fade away. Some call it consump
tion; some call it nervous prostration; some
call it intermittent or malarial disposition,
but I call it martyrdom of the domestic cir
cle. Life for life. Blood for blood. Sub
stitution!
Or, perhaps, the mother lingers long
enough to see a son get on the wrong road,
and his former kindness becomes rough
reply when she expresses anxiety about
him. But she goes right on, looking care
fully after his apparel, remembering his
every birthday with some memento, and
when he is brought home worn out with
dissipation, nurses him till he gets well,
and starts him again, and hopes, and ex
pects, and prays, and counsels and suffers
until her strength gives out and she fails.
She is going, and attendants, bending over
her pillow, ask her if she has any message
to leave, and sh" makes great effort to say
something, but out of three or four minutes
of indistinct utterance they can catch but
three words. “My poor boy!” The simple
fact is she died for him. Life for life. Sub
stitution!
About thirty-four years ago there went
forth from our homes hundreds of thou
sands of men to do battle for their coun
try All the poetry of war soon vanished,
and left them nothing but the terrible prose.
’l’hey waded knee-deep in mud. They slept
in snow banks. They marched till their
cut feet tracked the earth. They were
swindled out of their honest rations and
lived on meal not tit for a dog. They had
jaws all fractured and eyes extinguished
and limbs shot away. Thousands o£ them
cried for water as the?' lay dying on the
field the night after the battle, and got it
not They were homesick, and received no
message from their loved ones. They died
in barns, in bushes, in ditches, the buz
zards of the summer heat the only attend
ants on thoir obsequies. No one but. the
infinite God who knows everything knows
the ton thousandth part of the length and
breadth and depth and height of anguish
of the northern and southern battlefields.
Whv did these fathers leave their c.nldren
and' go to the front, and wh?' did these
voung men, postponing the marriage nay,
start out into the probabilities of never
coming back? For the country they died.
' ■ Lor life. Blood for blood. Substitu-
i,:it. we need not. go so far. V, hat *s t-iat
monument in Greenwood? It is to the doc
tors Who fell in the southern epidem.es.
Whv go? Were the.e not enough sick to
be attended in the northern latitudes? Oh.
yes; but the doctor nuts a few medical
books in his valise, and some vials of medi
cine. and leaves his patients here in the
hands of other physicians, and takes the
railtrain. Before fie gets to the infected
regions ho passes crowded rniltrains, regu
lir and extra, taking the living and af
fri.-rhtod copulations. He arrives in a city
over which a great horror is brooding. He
goes from couch to couch, feeling of pulse
•ind studying svmptoms, and prescribing
day aft"” day. night night, until a
fellow physician says: “Doctor, you had
better go home and rest; you look miser
able.” But he cannot rest while so many
are suffering. On and on. until some morn
in- finds him in a. delirium, in which he
talks of home, and then rises and says he
must go and look after those patients.
He is told to lie down; but he fights his
attendants until ho falls back. and is
weaker and weaker, and dies for people
with whom he had no kniship, and far
away from his own family, and is hastily
put away in a stranger’s tomb, and only
the tilth part of a, newspaper line telis
us of his sacrifice—his mime just mentioned
among live. Yet he lias touched the lur
thest height of sublimity in that three
weeks of humanitarian service. He goes
straight as an arrow to the bosom of Him
who said: “I was sick and ye visited me.”
Life for life. Blood for Blood. Substitu
tion!
Some of our modern theologians will want
to eive God lessons about the best way to
save the world, tell us they do not want
any blood in their redemption. They want
to take this horse by the bit, and hurl him
back on his haunches, and tell this rider
from Bozrah to go around some other way.
Look out, lest ye fall under the flying hoofs
of this horse; lest ye go down under the
sword of this Conqueror from Bozrah!
What meant the blood of the pigeons in the
old dispensation? the blood of the bullock?
the blood of the heifer? the blood of the
Jamb? It. meant to prophesy the cleansing
blood, the pardoning blood, the healing
blood of this Conqueror who core’s up
from Bozrah. “traveling in the greatness of
His strength.” 1 catch a handful of the
red torrent that rushes out from the heart
of the Lord, and I throw it over this au
dience, hoping that one drop of its cleans
ing power may come upon your soul. O
Jesus! in that crimson tide wash our souls!
We accept thy sacrifice! Conoueror of Boz
rah, hive mercy upon us! We throw our
garments in the way! We fall into line!
Ride on, Jesus, ride on! “Traveling, travel
ing is the greatness of Thy strength.”
But after awhile, the returning Conqueror
will reach ihe gate, and all the armies of
the saved will be with Him. I hope you
will l>e there, and I will be there. As we
go through the gate and around about the
throne for the review, “a great multitude
that no man can number’ —all heaven can
tell without asking, right away, which one
is Jesus, not only because of the brightness
of His face, but because, while all the
other inhabitants in glory are robed in
white—saints in white, cherubim in white,
seraphim in white—His robes shall be scar
let, even the dyed garments of Bozrah. I
catch a glimpse of that triumphant jo;", but
the gate opens an£ shuts so quickly. I can
hear only half a sentence, and it is this,
“I'nto Him who hath washed us in His
blood!”

GREAT PASTURES OF TEXAS.
Enormous Acres 4’niler the Control of
a Single Company or Firm.
From The Memphis Commercial.
Very few people at a distance, in think
ing of western Texas, understand that
nearly the whole of it is at present fenced
up in mammoth pastures, yet such is the
ease. Many of them are larger than ordi
nary counties, and some of them embrace
large parts of three or four counties.
Just west of Belcherville, Tex., come the
Silverstein, the Ikeard and the Worsham
; pastures. This latter contains 50,000 acres
and has one line of fence twenty-three
miles long. Pastures of about this size
: continue in almost unbroken succession
' until we ranch Armstrong county. There
; we find what is known as the Goodnight
ranch, the southern boundary of which is
a little string of fen’e eight-three i ides
long. Charley Goodnight, as the owner is
familiarly known, is considered one of the
richest men in the Panhandle, but I really
feel sorry for his boys if he ever sends
them out. on a hot afternoon to stop hog
holes in that line of fence. It is hardly
likely that this is the case, however, as all
i fences in that country are built to turn cat-
I and without reference to hogs. 1 here

missioners the uniform textbook bill and
the alien landholder question Texas politics
would not be worth shucks.
The largest, cd' these alien land holdings
belongs to what is called the Capitol syndi
cate. A few years ago the old capitol at
Austin burned down, and it was decided to
build another on a magnificent scale. An
English syndicate agreed to put it up, and
in payment therefor they received 3.000,000
acres of public lands. Does the reader
realize how big 2,000,00il acres of land is?
Imagine a slice of land twenty-four miles
wide and extending across the state of Mis
souri at its northern border. Such a strip
would include the whole northern tier of
counties and would be larger than several
states of the union.
This would be about the extent of the
Capitol syndicate’s pasture. Few people
have any idea that there is such a thing as
a single pasture, in one body and within
one fence, larger than some states in the
union, yet such is the fact. More than
that, it is owned by a foreign syndicate. It
takes in half of Deaf Smith county and
parts of several others.
Anothei large pasture is that of the X. I.
T. Cattle Company. It begins with the
Colorado line and extends several counties
lack this way. The Fort Worth and Den
ver railroad runs through it. Some idea of
Its size may be gathered from the fact
that the regular night express train enters
on the south side of the pasture at 11:05
o’clock, and after continuous running,
leaves it at 3:20 o’clock next morning. A
pasture which it takes an express train
four hours and a quarter to cross would be
considered large in some eouutr.es.

DR. TALMAGE RECONSIDERS,
And Will Stay anil Preach at the
Brooklyn Taliernaele.
Brooklyn, N. Y. March 4.—The Rev. De-
Witt Talmage has again changed his mind
ir, regard to resigning the pastorate of the
Bicoklyn tabernacle. A lew minutes before
Dr. Talmage began his sermon „t the morn
ing service today, he cold ihe congregation
that he had a few words to say them. He
then read the foilowing letter, being sever
al times interrupted by applause:
“Dear Brethren of the Board of Trustees
of the Brooklyn Tabernacle—Your urgent
letter is at hand. 1 had fully resolved to
resign my position, not only because twen
ty-five years of my Brooklyn pastorate will
soon have passed, but because of tinanei.il
entanglement, resulting from a series of dis
asters. which would have crushed any bank,
or insurance company, or worldly institu
tion. Now, by the blessing of God, upon
your management, our church is put out
of all embarrassment and, I hope, has seen
its last crisis. 1 am persuaded by what you
say in your letter of yesterday, and what
1 hear from all sides, and after seeking
divine direction. I now, and here, declare
my intention to remain your pastor. What I
have suffered at the anticipation of parting
from this noble and devoted dock ar.i from
the expected removal from this beloved city.
In whose affairs I have always been deeply
interested, no one can estimate.
“And now, with more faith and high ex
pectation than 1 ever had at any previous
point in my history, I join you in a new
campaign for God and the world’s better
ment.”
After Dr. Talmage had finished reading
the letter, lie was loudly applauded for sev
eral minutes.
On Saturday afternoon the board of trus
tees sent Dr. Talmage a letter asking him
to reconsider his intention to resign.

CORBETT ON TRIAL.
CRAMEIOJi JIM PLEADS NOT GUILTY
IO THE CHARGE.
Charley Mitchell on the Ground and he YVill
be Tried if Corbeit la* Convicted-The
Proceedings are on a Farcical Order.
Jacksonville, Fla., February 28.— Champion
James J. Corbett is now on trial before
Judge Phillips, in the criminal court of
this city, for engaging in that fight with
Charles Mitchell on the 25th of last Jan
uary. If Corbett is found guilty, then Mit
chell will be tried, and after the English
man has been disposed of, J. E. T. Bowden,
late manager of the Duval Club; Harry
Mason, of the Athletic Club; Joe Vendig
and Louis Sillier will be tried on a charge
of aiding and abetting the tight.
The court opened at 9:30 o'clock this morn
ing and long before that time, there was |
a large crowd of people gathered about the
courthouse.
Corbett arrived at the courthouse about
9 o'clock accompanied by his manager, Will
iam A. Brady. A majority of the people
about the courthouse were either sports
or those who like to follow in the wake of
the sporting gentry. When Corbett arriv
ed and pushed through the crowd, he was
slightly cheered. At 9:30 o clock. Judge
Phillips arrived, and court was called to
order. Just after the judge had taken his
seat on the bench. Mitchell, accompanied
by his manager, Billy Thompson, arrived.
They took seats near Corbett and Brady.
The work of empaneling a jury was then
begun. This was the occasion of much
sparring between the attorneys, one side
or the other objecting to nearly every can
didate for the jury box. Finally the six
men, that number only being required by
the Florida law in misdemeanor cases,
were secured. Two of the jurors are ne
groes, and four of them are from the ru
ral districts of Duval county.
At this point, court adjourned for dinner.
When court reconvened in the afternoon,
the examination of witnesses was begun.
Sheriff Broward, City Attorney Barrs, Judge
Baker and manj f others were introduced by
the state. They all testified as to events
preceding the fight and as to what happen
ed in the arena on the day of the tight.
The state established the fact that the fight
was by “previous appointment," a contest
forbidden by Florida law, but did not fare
so well when an attempt was made to
establish malice.
The witnesses all testified that Corbett
seemed good natured during the three
rounds save at one time and that was when
he fouled Mitchell.
J ini is Not Guilty.
Jacksonville. Fla., March I.—Once more
the prize fignters have gone up against tne
“peace ana dignity” ot tne state of
J tor.ua. as Governor Mitchell would phrase
it, and once more tne "peace and dignity
lias been knocited out in snort order.
At 3:51 o ciock this afternoon the jury in
the case agau.sc James J. Corbett, cnarged
will: violating the laws of Florida by en
gaging lu a pr.ze figtit, retired to matte up
a verdict. At l:uZ, or sixteen minutes later,
the jury returned and the foreman handed
the verdict to the state’s attorney, wiio
"We, the jury, find the defendant not
guilty.”
A broad smile spread over Corbett's face
as he heard these reassuring words and
tne sports wiio crowded tne courtroom
would have cneered !i cl they not been in
formed by Judge Phillips when the jury
came in that lie would send any person to
ja.l fo'r contempt who dared to express
audible approval or disapproval of the
verdict.
Charley Mitchell was present when the
verdict was announced and he leaned over
and grasped Corbett by ’.lie hand and
whispered congratulations. Mitchell, ot
course, considered the verdict in the light
of a practical acqu.ttal for himself, as a
case against him of a similar nature is
pending. There were four women in the
courtroom at the time y£ th'un mem
they braved the wrath of Judge Phillips to
the extent of airily waiving their hands to
C"”b"t’.
The Impression here is that the whole
thing has been a farce. The witnesses for
the state, to use a. sporting phrase, “fell
down.” and the defense had the easiest
sort of a walk over.
Will Be Nolle ITosxril.
Late tonight Attorney General Lamar
leeeived a telegram from Governor Mitch
ell stating that he had no further instruc
! tions and that further proceedings would
be left to his (Lamar's) discretion. This
I moans that the cases against Mitchell and
' the members of the Athletic Club will be
nolle prossed. This action will probably
be taken in the morning.
••< <> .lly i- Happy.”
Jacksonville, Fla.. March 2.—The attorney
general this morning nol'e prossed the case
against Charles Mitchell for fighting by
previous appointment and also the cases
against the Duval Club members and others
for aiding and abetting a fight by previous
appointment.
This action was taken in accordance with
the verdict of acquittal rendered by the
j ay in the Corbett case yesterday.
Corbett on Bis WaytoNiov York.
Champion Jim Corbett passed through
Atlanta last Sunday en route to New Vork
Corbett and Brady came up from New
Orleans on the vestibuled, reaching the city
a little after 11 o’clock, and remained until
the Richmond and Danville solid vestibuled
train went out for the east, when they left
for New York, where Corbett will rest :i
day or two before going on with his theatri
cal work.
"What of your engagement with Jackson,
the negro?"
“Well, J have no doubt as to the result, if
that is what you mean. We are signed to
figilt and 1 am anxious for the meeting,
more so tru_: any meeting 1 have ever had.
J know that I can whip him, and then, un
less I change my maul, J shall retire from
the ring lor all time. I have -•!■ ,vn what
1 can do and have never met a man as
good as Jackson, so 1 am anxious to touch
him. If I whip him I will i.e satisfied
th.it I am the best in tlie country and will
quit the ring unless I change my mind, as
1 have said.”
“Who, in your opinion, is the best man
you have ever met?” was asked of the
champion.
■‘Jackson gave me the longest and hardest
fight I ever had, hut when it comes (town
to the hardest tight of my life 1 think it
was tlie one with the old champion, John
L. Sullivan. I won that light, it is true,
but there was not a minute of the time
that I was not over anxious about the re
sult. It is true that T never had any idea
that I would lose the Tight, but at tlie same
time I was on the guard and more watch
ful than I have ever been. Why. from the
minute I signed the articles to tight Sulli
van I felt sure of winning, but at the same
time I realized that I had a hard task and
that I could take no chances oii the re
sults. That's what I mean when
I say that 1 may have
been a little over anxious.”
“Do you think you will ever come against
Sullivan again?”
“I can’t say, but I think not. As I have
said, unless I change my mind 1 don't
think I'll ever enter the ring again after
I meet Jackson. If, however, I do, I may
give Sullivan the chance he rays he wants.
I am net sure though that Sullivan wants
that chance. He is one of the best men in
the world, ami I'd do anything I could to
accommodate him.”
“And you think you can best the negro,
Jackson?”
“I have no doubt about the result when
we meet. I gave him all he -ould stand
when he was a much better man than he
is now, and I don’t see now I "culd do
worse at this stage of the game.”
“You and Mitchell are now good frierds?”
“Oh, yes. We have settled the little differ
ences between us. and there is no reason
why we should not be friends.’

Perhaps no disease with which » >oung
person can be alllicted is so
blighting in its nature as a nerV ° of
der, which gradually saps the strength
its victim and haunts him or her day
"This was the melancholy prospect which
confronted Mr. L. L. harbor s joun.,
daughter, of Edgerton, Kan., a. ‘ .
itude of her parents when a eompl <
lasting cure was brought about may be
imagined. Learning of the case, f
one which has created a gieat e< ”
terest throughout the county, a o ' l . \i
porter sought Mr. Barhor to get the la i
particulars in the belief thatmuch good
could be done other sufferers by the p.ibb
cation of the facts of the case. ni. re
porter found Mr. Barbor in his shop busi
ly engaged on a piece of work. He at once
narrated briefly the particulars of the cure
which had been effected in the case of his
daughter. The facts are set forth in the
following affidavit, which Mr. Barbor vol
untarily and cheertully made:
L. L. Barbor. being duly sworn, on oatn
deposes and says:
“During the spring of the current year,
1893, my daughter, Bertie, aged thirteen
years, became alllicted with a nervous dis
ease which grew upon her to such an ex
tent that it seriously interferred fi >th ner
studies, and aroused the gravest fears that
it would aevelop into St. Vitus’s dance.
My daughter became so nervous that she
would drop her knife and fork while eatin o ,
and would, at times, be seized with nervous
twitchings which excited the alarm of my
self and wife. About this time my wife
read in a newspaper of a wonderful cure ot
the same disease effected by Dr. Williams s
Pink Pills for Pale People. So strongiy
was I impressed with the facts set forth in
the testimonial that 1 wrote to ascertain
the authenticity of the case. Receiving a
reply which completely satisfied me, I sent
for a box of the pills.
“From the very first dose a marked im
provement in my daughter's condition was
noticed. She had become thin and exces
sively pale, as is common to sufferers from
nervous diseases, and her weight iiad de
creased to an alarming qxtent. After a
careful and thorough trial of the pills, she
not only began to grow less nervous, but
also began to gain flesh.
“It is needless to say that I was bull
surprised and delighted with the wot
ful change brought about by the first box
of the pills. She is a new girl, and all the
symptoms of her disease have disappea i’-d.
Dr. Williams’s Pink Pills have certainly
wrought a wonderful and complete cure,
and I can say nothing too good in their
favor. But now she is away on a i ish,
something she would not have thought ot
being able to do tiiree months ago. f rom
being shrinking, moroid and linua she has
become a strong, neaiitiy girl witn no ap
peaianee of ever having neen aliln leu wna
any nervous troubu s. I'he pills have done
wonders, and 1 take great i>lea.~..t e in ic
commending the pills t > all who are alflict

5 per cent ad valorem duty on imports, in
cluding silver and doubling the duty pe
troleum, as announced by Finance
Minister Westland at the si".g
of the vice regal council yesterday, c:; :e.i
very little comment, but the proposal to
exempt cotton yarns
v.rotsed great indignation. 1
press and public are unanimous in con 1 'm
nation of the proposal, the general opinio*
being that the exemption will incite
dangerous feeling of bitterness and dis
content and subjugate the interest of In
dia to those of a small coterie of Lanca
shire manufacturers. The government ex
pects that the new imports will yield an
annual revenue of 14,000,000 rupees.
