A
NOTICEABLE
FEATURE .
With this season’s business
is the pleasure that buyers
find in looking at goods other
than they’re out to buy,
mindful of everything. The
time passes quickly and
pleasantly. Each depart-
ment is brimful of the new-
est novelties in its line, and
there’s the same appearance
of pride in showing the vari-
ous assortments that there is
pleasure in seeing them—the
satisfaction is mutual.
Conditions of that sort are
very suggestive. -
It crowds the store.
It sells goods.
The cloak room is .a busy
spot with its fashionably made
Capes, Furs and Jackets.
And it is attractive. Large,
high, and with plenty of
light it not only is a comfort-
able and roomy place to try'
on and proper fit one’s gar-
ment but it offers every facil-
ity for a careful inspection of
your purchase ; to see just
what you are buying, inside
and out.
Equally interesting is the
Dress Goods department with
its delightful assortments of
novelties, plaids and peculiar
fabrics, together with the
numerous lines of rich blacks
and rustling ' silks——comprc~
hensive and masterful in their
qualities and 1,‘)i'iciligs——eve1'y-
thing that is worth having
and worth wearing.
So too are the Carpets, cou-
veniently located on the
main' floor. Good as they
are they're not overpriced,
not higher than you’d expect.
Our new system of weekly
payments ought to be the
means of ‘lending a hand’ to ,
those who want a new one
but don’t feel exactly like
paying the money out all at
once. Guess it will.
Trimmings, Gloves and
Notions are as readyto do
their part—j ust as important
to the anatomy of a well
appointed store as parts more
talked about, more adver-
tiscd.

It Is New Alleged That There Is sun
a Chance For a Fight.
REDUCED PURSE PROPOSED.
If Corbett and Fitz Should Be Willing to
Accept a Pittance of $25,000, They May
Yet Disfigure Each Other“: Couli-
tenances—Brady Talks Again.
FLORIDA ATHLETIC CLUB SIDE.
“Everything is off.”
THE CORBETT SIDE.
“Biggest cur that ever came to Amer-
ica.” “Bet $1,000 he daren’t come to
Hot Springs. ” “Fit-zsimmons has crawled,
as expected." “Simply using Corbett to
advertise himself.” “Fitz will fight next
battle by cable.” “Fitzsimmons is a. yel-
low dog; he has never fought a. first class
heavyweight in his life.”
THE FITZSIMMONS SIDE.
“The man who ofl‘ers to put up stake
money for Fitzsimmons will not do so.”
“Wait until a week from Thursday.”
“I’ll fight Corbett in a room.” “I won’t
go to Hot Springs until I get ready.”
"The club must put up $41,000 or we will
fight only in private.” “Fitz will claim
the heavyweight championship of the
world."
THE SPORTS’ SIDE. ‘
”Lanky Bob has apparently flunked.”
Govnnxon CLARK’S SIDE.
“I’m glad of it.”
THE PUBLIC SIDE.
“We are disgusted.”
HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. 23.—The figh
situation here has assumed a somewhat
brighter phase, and it may yet develop
that Corbett and Fitzsimmons will meet.
Stuart and Vendig now state that, in view
of Fitzsimmons’ arbitrary stand, the con-
tract between the club and the fighters in
so far as it relates to Fitzsimmons is abro-
gated. The club stands now ready to offer
a new contract, which comprehends a
modification of the purse offered to, say,
$25,000 at the most and the fixing of the
date of battle two or possibly three Weeks
later than the original date. Vendig and
Stuart are a unit on this point.
Vendig today got a telegram from J'.’ J.
Quinn, Maher’s backer, offering to bet
$5,000 on the Irishman if the match be-
tween Corbett and Mahcr can be made.
Julian is still here. ,
The action of the Florida Athletic club
yesterday in declaring off the Corbett.
Fitzsimmons fight caused no surprise.
Attorney General Kinsworthy filed his
writ of certiorari before the supreme court
yesterday in the Corbett habeas corpus
case, and the court soon after took a re-
cess. Judge S. M. Rose, the ablest law-
yer in the southwest, will assist the'attor-
ney general in the prosecution of the case.
Judge Leatherman said that he had no
fear that the supreme court would reverse
his decision. Judge G. W. Murphy, one
of Corbett’s counsel, and a criminal law-
yer of great reputation throughout this
section, said the court could not reverse
the decision and at the same time stick to
the law, because there is no law on the
statute books prohibiting glove contests
in this state.
Brady Talks Some More.
_ “This is my ultimatum,” exclaimed
Brady dramatically to a representative of
a local paper. “Some time ago Cor-
bett offered to meet any three men in
the world for $10,000 a side each. All he
wants is 24 hours bctvveen each match.
Some people laughed at him, and now I
say Corbett is willing to stand by this,
and he will give them 24 hours to come
to time. ”
Brady said also that he had a man whom
he could match against Fitzsimmons for
Oct. - 31 for 85,000. He probably 'was
thinking of O’Donnell.
“All right; maybe we can do business,”
was Julian’s answer. “ Wait until a week
from Thursday.”
Soon after this farce ended a rumor
started that Corbett and the club wore on ‘
excellent terms, and that a pos onement
was asked for because of Corbett’s alleged
unfit condition. This was traced close to
Julian, and Dan, Stuart, with the re-
mark, “I’ll fix some of these four flush-
ers, ” proceeded to dictate the following
letter:
Dan Stuart’s Statement.
“1 am not a self opinioncd man, but I
contend that if it; were worth Mr. Fitz-
simmons’ while to fight on Oct. 31 for the
possible chance of winning $10,000, it
were infinitely better that he wait 11 days
and swell his possible winnings to $51,000.
In all equity and fairness, and in view of
the fact that I was entitled to some con-
cessions, even though at a personal loss,
I thought that Messrs. Julian and Fitz—
simmons should agree to defer the meet-
ing fer the period stated. Today I stand
ready to make gocd'any proposition I
have ever made.
“Originally the men signed to meet
anywhere the Florida Athletic club named
after the lst of July within this latitude,
which embraces pretty well every point of
the compass. Why, then, Isubmit, do they
not agree on a postponement of 11 short
days? - _.
“Yes, my offer is now permanently
withdrawn. I am unwilling to believe
that any fair proposition will meet the ap-
proval of Fitzsimmons. I have no partic-
ular liking for thc present champion, yet
I must accord him that which is his due.
He saw the plight in which the Florida
Athletic club was placed and appeared
willing to accommodate himself to cir-
cumstances. Mr. Fitzsimmons may and
may not be able to comprehend the sltua-.
tion, and his personal actions 1 would not!
attempt to criticise. , i
An Absurd Rumor Denied.
, f‘As to the rumor that the Florida Ath-,
aletic club and Corbett were in collusion in
tangling‘ up the contest, that is as-vapid
and senseless as it is untrue. I am now
speaking to a man who, I know, saw Cor-
bett today. 1' have not been Watching the
tells mé that his man was at work today.
. This is verified by the uncontroverted fact
that Corbett looks better today than he
ever looked in his life; that he has worked
himself down to a state of physical fitness
he never before enjoyed in any contest. I
'know that he is likely to carry out the
terms of his contract with me. .
“That is a 1 that I, or. for that matter, '
the world, can expect. Never was there a
more vacuous and inSane story started
afloat from any quarter. Collusion! There
is only one way on earth to make money,
and that is on the level. Would the Flor-
ida Athletic club have gonc to the expense
it has in order at the eleventh hour to en-
ter a compact with one of the principals
to save any one? I dismiss the whole sub-
ject with the well ltnown and much used
American vulgarism, ‘ lats!’
“DAN STUART.”
As a. partial explanation of his stand
Julian exhibited a telegram, the text of
which follows: }
“New OIILEANs, Oct. .‘31.
“Man who offers to put up stake money
for Fitzsimmons will not do so unless the
fight takes place Oct. 31. 5
“J. P. ECKHARDT & Co.”
Julian said upon his arrival here that
he had the new stake. Later he said he
could get it by telegraphing, but it would
appear from the New Orleans message
that Julian, as Brady says,“has it to get.”
Brady paced up and down the corridors
of the hotel after the fashion of a caged
lion.
“I’ll bet Fitzsimmons $1,000 he daren’t
come to Hot Springs!” shouted the man-
ager-actor. “Jim’ll punch his head off
without any men a side.”
“’hat the Sports Think. :
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-—The following are
the opinions of some prOminent sporting
men who have been interviewed on the
subject of the big pugllistic fiasco:
John L. Sullivan—It looks bad for
Fitz. There should be no quibbling if ev-
erything is on the level.
Phil Dwyer.—I can’t turn over the $10,-
000 side but to Fitz. , '
Al Smith—I feel satisfied that Fitz-
simmons has had no intention of fighting
for some weeks.
Tom O’Rourke—I think Fitz is willing
to fight after he gets the forfeit money.
Pat Powers—Fitz is in a bad light.
Parson Davies—I think Corbett has the
better of the argument.
Charles Genslinger.——I don’t believe
either cares to fight. '
li‘itz “’il‘i- Invite Corbett. _
EL. PASO, Tex, Oct. 23.»~—A telegram
was received here from tho Fitzsimmons
people at Corpus Christi, stating that Cor-
bett would be invited to meet Fitzsim«
mons for a, fight to a finish at El Pasc.
Clark Is Glad.
LITTLE l-locx, Oct. 23,—Governor
Clark was informed late last night that
the carnival at Hot Springs had been
called off. “I’m glad of it, ” said he, and
would say no more.
THE VENEZUELAN QUARREL.
England Is New Making Desperate Efforts
‘ to Dodge the Main Issue.
LOXDON, Oct. Bil—«The Venezuela
boundary question continues to be the
leading topic of the newspapers."
The Times says in an editorial: “Some
of our American friends have been too
previous in their interpretations of a re-
port that the Marquis of Salisbury had
sent an ultimatum to Venezuela. Lord
Salisbury’s dispatch had to be sent through
Berlin. Its tenor was not such as to raise
the question. which a portion of the
American press seems so anxious to dis-
cuss. The claim that the right bank of
the Guyana river belongs to them does not
justifv the V'cnczuelans in an attack upon
the British police. Until their violent act
is atoncd for and an ample apology is
made, they are in a position of having
suddenly removed the dispute from the
sphere of diplomacy and challenged its
settlement by force. Whether they count
upon enjoying immunity on account of
the distance of the scene of action from
Georgetown, or whether, like other weak
states,‘ they presume upon their insignifi-
cancc to do things no great power would
attempt, it is time the Caracas politicians
were taught a salutary lesson.”
Sclxaefer Ready to Play.
CHICAGO, ’Oct. fail—When Jake Schacfer
was informed of Frank 'Ivcs’ proposition
to play for 810,000 and give odds, he said:
“That looks like a bluff to me. He
knows well that I have not got a backer
that can stand for that amount. I will
play him at balk lino. cushion caroms
and straight rail, for_.$500 or..$1,000 a side, .
the winner to take all the gh’tc receipts.”
New York’s Rapid Transit.
ALBANY, Oct. 22.——The court of appeals
handed down a. decision in the appeal of
the New York rapid transit commission-
ers by reversing the decision of the gen-
eral term remitting the application for
appointment of three commissioners to the
appellate division of the supreme court.

gest insurance companies in the United

was poisoned or committed suicide.

paired Oakes Amen, Estate—Ran .
on a Ticket Against Butler. -
NORTH Easron, Mass., Oct. 23,—Ex-
Governor Oliver Amos died at his home in
this village today. For the last five years
his health had been gradually failing, and
for the past three years he had had a med-
ical attendant almost Continually at his
side.
A trip to Europe and a. visit to Poland
Spring, Me, failed to give him relief.
Recently he went south, with the inten-
tion of remaining a few months if it
should prove beneficial, but his stay was
short. His family has been at home the
greater portion of the summer, and his
wife and sons and. daughters were with
him when he died. ’
' Mr. Ames leaves a widow, two sons and
four daughters. He was 64 years of age.
Oliver Ames was born on Feb. 4, 1831,
in North Easton. He received his early
education in the public schools of his na-
tive town and at academies at North Afr

where he served an apprenticeship of five
years, mastering the business in its most
He' then
minute mechanical details. He then took
a special course at Brown university, and
at the age of 22 returned to the shovel
works.
Business and Political Career.
In 1863 he was admitted a member of
the firm of Oliver Amos 8.: Sons and for
several years personally superintended the
mechanical departments of the immense
establishment. At his father’s death, in
1873, the numerous financial trusts held
by him devolved upon the son, and he be-
came directly concerned in a fiduciary ea-
pacity with various corporations, banks
iand institutions with which his father
held monetary relations.
It is perhaps as a financier that Oliver
Ames won his widest reputation. The
Oakes Amos estate was," at; the time he as
sumed its settlement, not only one in
which immense and diversified interests
were involved, scattered throughout dif-
ferent states of the Union, but it was also
burdened with obligations to the extent
of $8,000,000.
He met and paid the enormous indebt-
edness resting upon it, paid $1,000,000 or
more of legacies and had still a large sur-
plus to divide among the heirs.
In 1880 Mr. Amcs was elected to the
state senate and was rc-clected in 1881.
In 1882 he received the Republican
nomination for lieutenant governor upon
the ticket headed by the Hon. R. 1%.
Bishop. ir. Bishop was defeated by
General Butler, but Mr. Ames was elected
by a handsome plurality. He was re-
elected in 1883, again in 1885, the Hon.
G. D. Robinson then being governor. In
1886, upon the retirement of Governor
Robinson, lieutenant Governor Ames was
» advanced to the gubernatorial chair.
The funeral of the late cx—govcrnor will
take place on Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock
from Unity church here. Governor Green-
halge and staff and a delegation of other
state officials will attend.
