Supper was served at 11 oTclock and ,
st. Louis, Janvary 10,"At the close
ot the second ac: of the theatrical per-
formance tonight, James |. Corbett
stepped before the curtain and announc-
ed that he oftered Fitzsimmons $35,000
for a finish fight, the entire sum to go
to Fitzsimmons if Corbett fails to put
him outin ten rounds.
Corbett intended to issue a chalienge
on January 17th, but decided to make
it public tonight. In it he says:
~sAg a last inducement to overcome
your obvious reluctance to meet me
again, I wi'l make that proposition
more tavorable, thus: A purse Cf
$25,000 stands ready to be offered as a
prize for a meeting in the ring with
you. To this I will add $10,000 of my
own, conditionally, that you agree to
box me toa finish, This makes $30,~
y00. I effer chis sum if I fail to stop
the contest
you in ten rounds-=that
that J
must continue toa finish and,
shall have something to say in regard
to the appointment of a referee who
will not be unfairly prejudiced im your
favor.
wThis ig my final proposition, take it
or leave it. Jf you reaily want fizht"
~t oflers. Ifyou want monty"a sum
is readv, exceeding your receipts in five
battles. If ycu want reputation you
can make it better by meeting me than
by meeting all.others revether. If you
doubt this, ask the public each piznl
when you exbibit.
oThat is my ultimatum.
oWhether you wil venture or not,
this, my last challenge to you"and to
bine which I shall post.$10,000 forfeit
the moment yot accept"remains nailed
where you. must see and cannot ayeid it,
oJames J. CORBETT?�
St. Paul, Mion., January 10."'Well,
now, what do you think of that?T was
all that Fitzsimmons would say tonight
when shown the Associated Press dis-
patch from St. Lovis anzouncing the
offer by Corbett of $25,000 it Kitzsim
mons would fight him. ~The propesi-
tion seemed to amuse him and ne re-
fused to consider i: seriously, referring
the inquirer to his manager.
Little more wasto be learned from
Martin Juliap, He said emphatically
that he would consider no fight propo-
sals until Corbett had whipped Moher,
and refused te talk of any other pcssi~
bilities.
Judge Dick Insists That He Will
Not Xesign.
Capt. R. B. Glenn and District At-
tornev Holten, of Winston, during
their visit to Greensboro yesterday,
called upon Judge Dick at bis home to
see him about some lege] matters.
The judge told his visitors that the
reports published in the papers about

another conference, in which the
Democrats did not participate.
The meeting was not final, and no
authorized statement was made
of the proceedings, beyond the
announcement that the meeting
was merely incidental to Mr-
TowneTs visit to Washington. It
is understood, however, that the
principal subject discussed was
the devising of a plan for holding
the silyer forces together in the
congressional campaign next fall,

FRESH PORK CLUBS.
Curious Organizations Formed In the State
of Maine.
There are more than 1,000 fresh
pork clubs in Maine today, and some
of them have been in existence for
over a century. Though the state
assessors and census enumerators
furnish no statistics bearing on the
subject, it is probable that the total
membership of the Maine fresh pork
clubs exceeds 10,000 persons.
A fresh pork club is organized and
maintained to distribute fresh pork,
every member coming in for as
much sparerib, chop or shoul@gr as
he is willing to distribute. For ob-
vious and anatomical reasons the
membership of any individual fresh
pork club is limited to the amount
of lean pork which an average pig
is able to furnish. As the best fed
pig is not all fat, and as one family
is unable to consume the lean meat
of a killing before it spoils, the fresh
pork club comes in and eats ~the un-
salted meat, thus saving the expense
of putting up ice and buying refrig-
erators.
The workings of a fresh pork club
are easy to understand. An average
Maine pig when fat enough to kill
weighs ubout 800 pounds, and of
this perhaps 50 pounds are in spare-
ribs, chops and other lean parts that
are unfit to salt and unsuited for the
smokehouse. In the absence of ice-
houses and refrigerators much of
this pork would spoil before the
family could eat it, so the 50 pounds
are divided into ten parcels of five
pounds each and nine of these are
sent to as many members of the
fresh pork club, while the tenth is
kept to be eaten at home.
It is seldom that a club contains
more than ten families, because
every additional member divides
the pork into smaller parcels. Ap-
plications for membership to the
different clubs often are filled years
in advance, and whenever a vacan-
cy occurs the new member is noti-
fied of his election by receiving a
portion of the first pig that is killed
by a member of the club. When the
number of waiting applicants
reaches nino or ten, they are noti-
fied of the fact, and they organize
asa new club, with full powers to
distribute pork, choose new mem-
bers or discharge old ones.
The advantages to be gained from
active membership in a fresh pork
club are obvious. The pig killing
begins in September and continues
at intervals until Christmas. The
family which is not a member ofa
club can have more fresh pork than
it needs for perhaps a week and
must salt all the rest. By joining a
club the same family can prolong
the fresh pork season from the time
the first member kills a pig until
the last porker in the club is salted
down for winter. Instead of eating
(fresh pork once a year, the club
members can have it ten times a
year and keep up the revels from
Labor day to New YearTs. So im-
portant have the fresh pork clubs
become in many communities that
weddings, parties and many social
evenis are arranged so they may
come off in pig killing time. In
case of a birthday or wedding unni-
versary one of the club members
kills his pig a few days before the
festival in order to supply the
guests. The men who make and sell
refrigerators complain bitterly, and
the ice carts never visit the neigh-
borhoods where fresh pork clubs
flourish, but the members care hitle
about what people may say as long
as the proper amount of fresh pork
comes around on time."New York

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPTPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well,§to
Know What Appetite and Good
Digestion Mean, MakeTa Test
of StuartTs Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianap-
olis Gentleman.
MARE weet
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia,
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and ac surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring remedies; the real seat of the
mis~ hief is lost sight of, the stomach is
the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dysreptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspep-
sia shows itself not in. the stomach so
much as in near'yv every othe: orgar, in
some ceases the heart palpitates and is
irreguiar, in others the kidneys are
affected, in cihers the bowels are con-
stipatec, with headaches, still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and app: tite,
with accumulation of gas, sour risings
and heart burp.
Mr A W Sharper of No 61 Prospect
St Indianapolis, Ind., wri~es as foliows:
A motive of pure gratitude prompts me
to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine, StuartTs
Dyspepsia Tablets. I hive been a
suflerer from nervous dyspepsia for the
last four years, hove used various pat-
ent medicines and other reimedies
without any favorable result, They
{sometimes give t mporary relief until
the effects of the medicine wore off. I
attr'buted this to my sedentary habits,
being a bookkeeper with ~ittle physical
exercise, but I am glad to state that the
tablets havT overcome all these obsta-
cles. tor 1 haye gained in flesh, sl: ep
hetter and am better in every way.
The above is written notfe notoriety
but is based on actual fact.
Respecttully yours,
.. W. Sharper,

| DESCENDED FROM KINGS. °
Unostentatious New Yorkers Whose An-
cestors Ruled Kingdoms.
There is an unwritten nobility in
the United States, a nobility that is
proud of its blue blood, its origin,
its forefathers who held exalted
rank and wore titles that were in
some instancesroyal. A society was
quietly organized some years ago
with the avowed purpose of regen-
erating those neglected and forgot-
ten springs of nobility and tracing
the family trees to their very roots,
uncovering the secrets of an ances-
try that might extend back to the
crusaders. This society made con-
siderable headway and exposed the
royal connection in very many in-
stances, and the researches so thor-
oughly satisfied a certain number of
their blood"so intensely blue was
it"that they in turn formed them-
selves into a second society, consist-
ing of those whose line extends back
to the throne"to some throne whose
importance among the then nations
of the earth was not considered, so
long as it was a bona fide throne,
with a genuineruler sitting thereon,
wielding a scepter and wearing the
imperial purple.
The members of this inner circle
are for the most part New Yorkers
by birth and residence.
The most conspicuous, probably,
is Jameg Gordon Bennett of The
Herald. Mr. Bennett is a direct de-
scendant on his motherTs side of
Edward I of England and the proba-
bility of his sitting one day on the
throne of Great Britain is, it must
be confessed, not altogether clear,
although it is not outside the limits
of possibility. He is the forty-sev-
enth in the line of heritage, anda
revolution might bring him much
closer. As to the present mode of
addressing Mr. Bennett, as he has
practically become a Parisian, he
would, no doubt prefer son altess
to his highness should he conclude
to claim the title which it is certain
his descent gives him every right
to use.
Asarelative of Mr. Bennett the
distinction of royalty naturally be-
longs also to Marmaduke Richard-
gon, who is duke of Schomberg, and
has voluminous documents to prove
not alone his regal lineage, but the
actual personal claim he possesses
to the title of duke. It must be un-
derstood that in corresponding be-
tween the various members of this
society their ancestral titles are al-
ways employed, and they are ad-
dressed as ~~My Dear Prince,� as in
the case of Mr. Bennett, for exam-
ple, or ~My Dear Duke,T as with
Mr. Richardson. And many mem-
bers have letter paper emblazoned
with their individual position.
George McLean, an official in one
af the large fire insurance compa.
nies on Broadway, New York, is a
leading member of the society, and
enjoys the title of Earl of Iona, a
distinction that has been recognized
through many generations of. his
family, but has never been publicly
claimed. Mr. McLean is possessed
of documents showing a descent
from
crusades in the establishment of
Christianity and whose tireless ef-
forts in the direction of civilization
earned him the nameof St. Louis.
This ruler made his nephew lord
of the holy isles, warranted to em-
ploy the title of Earl of Iona.
Charles Heidsleck, well known in
New York, is, in reality, Prince
Heidsleck von Ravensberg, inherit-
ing his title from an old German;
and j
family of great distinction
whose estates were at one period the
most extensive on the Rhine. The
artist Thulstrup is Comte de Thul-,
strup, although he never makes use:
of the honor, and few of his ue-
quaintances are even aware that he
possesses it. In fact, to give him
entire credit, he is authorized to
sign himself ~General Comte de
Thulstrup.�T Connelly, the well
known hatter, modestly conceals
the fact that as a direct descendant
of the last Irish kingT lhe is none
other than Lord Connelly, although
it is doubtful that he has ever said
so outside the society, of which he
has long been a member. There are,
a hundred others enjoying, if it be
an enjoyment, the possession of a
title while appafently only unas-
suming American Citizens, but these
instances .are sufficient to indicate |
that we really have an unwritten
nobility. "New York Mail and Ex-|

"Facts and Fiction.
FERRYBOAT BOOTBLACKS.
Three Hundred of Them In New York
Take In $300,000 Yearly.
It is a trifling thing, a ferryboat
shine, when considered by itself, and
quite likely to lack luster, as we all
know. But considered in the aggre-
gate, the business of polishing the
shoes of commuters and Brooklyn
men who come to town by boat is
altogether too big to be sneezed at.
According to William Dodd, who
controls the shine boys on the Ho-
boken boats, at least $1,000 is ex-
pended for shines on the various
ferry lines every weekday, or more
than $300,000 a year. |
oIncluding the Kings County Ele-
vated railroad trains, on which shoe
ehining is permitted, the same as
on the ferryboats,TT said Mr. Dodd,
othe true figures are undoubtedly
much in excess of those named, as
you can find out for yourself with a
little figuring. There are five con-
tractors, firms and corporations now
engaged in the business of ferry boat
and elevated railroad shoe polish-
ing. The largest of these concerns
employs 150 boys or more and the
smallest not less than 20. Ishould
say that between 300 and 400 shin-
ers in all are at work every day
among the commuters.
oThe boys get quite as largea
share of the gross intake in the
shoe polishing business as the em-
ployees in any other business, and
hvetter, Iam sure, than in some. On
this line we pay a ~greenhornT $5 a
week; when he has been with us a
little while we raise him to $6 and
later to $7.
oThe boys are allowed to keep all
the tips they receive. Besides, they
can have all they can earn shining
shoes on the boats after 7 o'clock in
the evening, When thoir service as
our employees is brou ht toa close
each day. An ambiagous boy can
get together $10 or even $12 a week
on the Hoboken boats by hustling,
and when you consider the mental
grade of the boys, that is not at all
bad.�
( f
course, there are elaborate
ru..s for the guidance of the boys
on cyery ferry line. They are or-
dex. d to speak nothing but English
whi on duty, not to smoke or chew
toh: «co, not to swear, to stay on
the menTs side of the boat and to
keep as clean and tidy as possible"
that is, their faces must be washed,
i their hair combed, and their biae
unitorms brushed every morning.
Moreover, their suspenders, which
are much in evidence in warm
weather, When the boys wear no
coats, must always be white and
~clean. This scems to Le considered
of great importance on nearly every
Jine, and on one
