"Allow us to say right now that

abandoned right now. Jacksonville

notoriety in this line. The scientific

fixed rules.
•'As soon as the legislature of next

Philadelphia, Oct. 15.—After re-
ceiving by mail a copy of the lighting
articles from New York yesterday,
; Dob Fitzsimmons declared lie would
not sign them in that shape. I(e ob-
jects to fighting for the championship
belt put up by a spcrting paper, as he
considers it put up for advertising
purposes. Also to tin size of the
gloves, which should be five ounces,
the same as used by Corbett, Sullivan,
Mitchell and himself. Also to the
club's naming the referee unless a
clause be inserted that lie shall be
satisfactory to both parties. Fitz-
simmons said:
"I don't know anything about tho
Florida club and I hear that Corbett's
backers, tho lhvyers, are behin I it,
and as he has had everything his own
way so far I think I should at least
have a say as to who shall be tho

CONTRACT SCHOOLS.
The Pollry of the Indian llureau AgainM
I ten mil in-it ional Institutions.
j Washington, Oct. 16.—The policy of
the bureau of Indian affairs is to dis-
courage contract schools and to aban-
don the in as soon as possible. This
will be accomplished by transferring
pupils as rapidly as can be done from
j sectarian to public schools. It prob-
ably will require a couple of years to
carry out this scheme, as there aro
about 8,000 pupils now enrolled in the
contract schools.
The proposed change is outlined in
an official communication sent by
Acting Commissioner Armstrong to
tho superintendent of one of the larg-
est <>f these schools, where material
reduction in the enrollment has been
made. "I would suggest," says he,
I "to you, as well as to all of the relig-
ious orders which have contract
schools on the reservation, that you
prepare yourselves for still further
reductions next year, as tho tendency
now is to gradually do away
with contract schools and to
place Indian children as far
as posrible in public schools
where it can be done, and in state ag-
ricultural schools and normal schools
in different states. The last congress
directed the secretary of the interior
to report to the coining < n.: o t he
best means of a disliiug _•< >t u-t

has no control, as it will be regulated
entirely by congress."

A LIVING PICTURE SCALDED.
Hot Water Turnei on In a Fountain
Scene and a Girl Ittdly Itnrned.
Boston, Oct. 17.—In the fountain
living picture entitled "The Birth of
the Pearl," the two front corners are
occupied by girls half ensconced in
mermaid's tails, while back of them
Miss Annie Strathmorc st itids, front-
ing the audicncc, her arms b.oit up-
ward and backward, grasping a sea
shell above her head. She is clad
only in fleshlings and a tight under-
vest. As the curtains part the foun-
tain streams are seen throwing them-
selves all over her body. Of course it
is necessary that the water should be
at least lukewarm, so a pipe of boil-
ing water was connected with the
cold stream.
The picture has been running six
weeks without trouble, but in some
way last night the cold stream was
turned off'. Miss Strath more felt the
water,grow hotter and hott'r. but
resisted the impulse to cry out. Fi-
nally, driven frantic by the scalding
stream, she screamed and the curtains
were quickly drawn.
Dr. Daniels of the Emergency hos-
pital was quickly called and it was
found that the girl had been very
badly burned on the legs, abdomen
' and breast. It is believed that she
will recover.

MISS WILLARD ON SUFFRAGE.
A Hinging Address by the Notod Tem-
perance Worker.
Piiiladklpiiia, Oct. 17.- At yester-
day's session of the W. C.T r. conven-
tion Miss Frances Willard made an ad-
dress. Tho big Baptist temple was
filled with people, and tho famous
advocate of temperance wa* greet-
ed with much enthusiasm. Miss Will-
ard said that women should have the
right of suffrage, not bccause the
women were better than tho men,
but because they were different.
"Down with the gambling house;
down with tho saloon; down with the
den of infumv," said the speaker,
' and up with the white flag of purer
America."
Miss Willard paid a glowing tribute
to Susan B. Anthony, and then said
she would stake anything that Rov.
Dr. Park hurst would ultimately come
out in favor of woman suffrage. Sho
spoke also of the crusade 01 women
and their efforts looking to the tie-
feat of Colonel Breckinridge, and said
that if she spoke of that to Dr. Park*
hurst he might say tho women could
not vote ami that their votes did not
defeat Breckinridge. Her reply ;
would be that had the women had a
vote the Ashland district would have
given an overwhelming majority |
against Breckinridge. Miss Willard
conclude I by making an appeal for I
funds with which to send women to I
the South for the purpose of organiz-
ing the colored women.
NEW GUN9 MADE SLOWLY.
At I east a Year Will He Needed to l->|ulp
the {tegular Army.
Washington, Oct. 17.—The work of I
equipping the troops of the regular
armv with the new magazine rifle is
progressing as rapidly as the limited !
plant of the Springfield national ar-
mory will permit. The fabrication of i
the complex and accurate machinery
necessary to ma'ce the new
weapon required much tiino i
and now the plant is in good I
running order; the output is i
about 25,000 guns per year. As fast i
as the arms are completed they are j
issued to the troops and at this rate it
will be about a year before the small
army is brought up to a modern ;
standard, being supplied with maga-
zine guns.
When this work is accomplished the ,
ordnance officers will turn their at-
tention to tho militiu. A .sample
weapon has been sent to the national |
guard of each state so that the men !
nut at tne picseut 1 < o !
will be several years before they can '
all be supplied.

Dknveb, Col., Oct. 1 —Cyrus B.

arrested, but, as Hawley failed to ap-
pear against him, was s mply ordered
to leave town.

"Nothing has been said about it,"
responded the secretary. "Mr. Hill
is one of the best and ablest cam-
paigners in the country, and is mak-
