An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Stbi'p of Figs, manufactured by the
Califokmu 1i Strcp Co., illustrate
the value of obtaiuinsr the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most rt'fre&iiinp to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
pently yet promptly and enabling-one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionab le quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening1
or irritating- them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing Iters
are used, as they ere pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method

Princeton Students Listen to Lecture
on Venezuelan Boundry Dispute.
Princeton. N. J., March 28 Ex-President
Cleveland d'-livcied the first of his
two lectures on the "Venezuelan Bound
ary Dispute" before the students and
friends of Princeton university last night
In Alexander hall. Prof. Woodrow Wil
son introduced the speaker.
As Mr. Cleveland arose to begin bis
lecture he was greeted with three Ions,
loud cheers from the student body. He
was strongly applauded several times
while delivering the lecture.
Mr. Cleveland at the outset spoke of
the vagueness on the subject of bound
ary lines in the establishment both of
the Venezuelan republic and of British
Ouiana. Hi said that from the first
there was evident reed of "extraneous
assistance" In-fore bounds so loosely
named could be "'exactly fixed."
lie then referred to the initiation of
the dispute in 1M1 between the Vene
zuelan minister to Great Britain and
Lord Aberdeen, chief secretary of state
for foreien affairs.
The making of the Sehomburgk survey
and its bearing upon the dispute were
ful'y explained.
The lecturer, quoting constantly from
documents, showed the repeated appeals
of Venezuela to Gr--at liritain in favor
of settling: the question by arbitration
of the i hole subj-ct declaring that their
constitution prevented them from mak
ing grants of territories except by a pro
cess tiie result of arbitration. Meantime
Knplund constantly refused arbitration
on the general subject, declaring that it
feared the Venezuelan constitution
would still be used as a pretext for dis
obedience to an award. Great Britain
also objected to the arbitration request
ed by Venezuela, fearing that an award
might be made in favor of the Vene
eueian claim in which case "an import
ant territory which has for a long period
i:een inhabited and occupied by her
majesty's subjects and treated as part
of the colonj of a-lt!jh Guiana would be
Beverefi from the noon's domains." On
this Mr. Cleveland 'said:
"KnirianJ alone had treated it as part
of British Guiana; her immense power
had enabled her to do this, and her own
decrees seemed to promise greater ad
vantages as against her weak adversary
than arbitration could possibly assure.
"The British government at one time
offered a plan of arbitration which did
not cover the entire disputed territory,
but never consented to arbitration such
as proposed by Venezuela and which
would include the entire territory in dis
pute." The lecture brought down with much
etail the narrative to September, 1SD3.

Cincinnati, March 23. Bob Fitzsimmons
seems to take as kindly to the swige as
he did to the prize Ting. Kit says he
likes It better and that unless-something
unforeseen happens he will never appear
in the ring again.
Fitx's retirement is Tiot caused by old
age. As a matter of fact, he is younger

even Jeffries. He haa a bright eye.

youthfulness as any lighter In the game

As an actor Eob is not a. frost. Tie re
ally surprises his audiences with his per-feetly-at-home
manner on the stage. His

the expectations of the gallery gods, and
his entire audience find! time to applaud

Kvervthinr is tdav for uz. He has
very happy time of it behind the scenes
with his ftdfe and family, and is as much
interested in his lines as any actor could
re expected to be. t
'I'm not considered a fighter any
longer." said Fitz last night, he made
a hurried change from a blacksmith's
garb to a dress uit. "People now come
to see me as an actor. I like this acting
game. It just suits me. I know that
some fighters do nt take kindly to lr,
but that is because they do not know how
to act. I think 1 do. and rnv Audiences
share my opinion. 1 think I'm improving

"ill you ever get back in the ring?
"Well. I've announced my retirement,
but I don't know. There is never any
telling what the future has in store for
a man. Of course, it Is better pay than
this acting, but I like the stage. 1 might
possibly get into a go again, but I have
no plans tor that now. I'm paying strict

wun you, never expect to nave a light

it seems to me that when two men are
anxious to fight they can get together

"Why. when I fought Malier there were
Texas rangers on one side and Mexican

What about a. co between Corbett and

YANGEB, TO FIGHT RICHIE.
Little Fellows Are Matched to Meet
at Memphis.
Chicago, March 2S. George Slier says
In the Tribune:
Benny Tanger, the "Tipton Slasher,"
and Johnnie Kichie have been matched
to fight before -Paddy Carroll's club at
Memphis on Apri 115. The boys will bat
tle tor a percentage of the gross re
ceipts, and have agreed to weigh in at
122 pounds at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
This will be Tanger's first tight in near
ly four months, and therefore will be
quite a novelty to him. He was match
ed a short time ago to box Ule Olaon
eix rounds at Minneapolis at 126 pounds,
ring side, but Governor Van Sant put
his foot down on the exhibition. Bennv
was practically matched with Eddy
Sprague of Streator to fight eight rounds
before the Appleton Athletic club, but
John Hertz, his manager, clinched the
match with Kichie before definite ar
rangements had been perfected with the
Appleton club. This was hard luck for
M. M. Moore, manager and matchmaker
for the Appleton club, as he forwarded
articles of agreement and the club's for
feit last Saturday. Hertz .however, was
not aware of this when he . signed for
Yar.ger to fight Richie. He said last
night he would open negotiations wih
Mr. Moore to fight before his club, pro
vided he would set the date or or bef jre
April 23.
Kichie is well known in local fight cir

with Johnny Reagan at the C. A. A. It
resulted in a draw. Last Tuesday night
he met Young Mowatt. the fighting

FOR THE GRIP.
You Have Heard of Many Remedies
Did You Ever Try This One.
.Everybody you meet on the streets
nowadays either has just had the grip,
is coming down with it or has a sure
cure for it.
The disease has been a puzzle to phy
sicians ever since its appearance several
years ago and It is as much of a puzzle
today as it was then, it exhibits such
a variety of symptoms in different in
dividuals and leaves such disastrous re
suits after apparent recovery, that as
yet its prevention and cure has baffled
medical science.
However there is no doubt but that
the grip is catarrhal in character and
the leading symptoms in neariy every
case is increased secretions in the head
and throat, in fact the first indications
of la grippe are those of a cold in the
head which extends to the throat and
lungs.
Ir; Johnson Ames advises as the safest
course to pursue on the first appearance
of grip symptoms to keep to the house
for a day or two and take Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets every hour the flist day
and every two hours the following day
and states that this will break up the
trouble before It becomes deep seated.
These catarrh tablets are antiseptic
and harmless and prevent fever and the
further development of grip germs, and
ward off the ever present danger of
pneumonia.
Dr. ierald Simpson says: "I have
found Stuart's Catarrh Tablets a pleas
art and thoroughly reliable remedy for
the grip, especially with elderly people
with whom this prevailing disease is al
ways dangerous;the tablets can be found
at any drug store and if used freely dur
ing the first few days of tne attack will
brvak it up.
La grippe is a catarrhal affection, the
germs are in the air and no one is proof
against it, but the timely use of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets .will prevent any ser
ious results.

COMING DRAMATIC EYEJiTS.
Manager Crawford announces the vis
it of the melodrama "Two Little Vag
rants," for tonight. The story of "Two
Little Vagrants" is a pathetic one, lign
eneti by an element of comedy, and
brightened here and there by examples
of moral heroism good to look upon. A
generous woman, Helene, in concealing
the error of her sister-in-law. Carmen
brings suspicion upon herself, and tfu
jealous husband of Helene employs a
burglar to abduct her child. Nine years
later the child, known as Fan-Fan, Is
represented as having been reared as a
thief by Le Renard, the burglar. , Far
Fan's father, George D'Armont, is of
fered 30,000 francs to return the child to
his mother. But Kan-Fan has fled, ard
the burglar, in order to secure .the re
ward, substitutes his nephew-. In the
next act Fan-Fan appeared at his moth
er's house, and establishes his identity,
Learning that La Renard has pape s
that will prove the innocence of his
mother, he visits the thieves' retreat in
Paris, secures the documents and help
his father to escape from, the dea of
thieves. The scenic effects throughout
are carried by the company and the cast
is said to be one of excellence. The
character of Fan-Fan will be portrayel
by Neva Harrison, who made a pro
nounced hit in that part last season.
Claude, the sickly boy, will be in tr.ct
hands of Lottie Briscoe. Other mem
bers in the cast are: Anna Hodden,

without a woman's injured honor witn
out a single risque situation, Just a play
with pathos, and comedy, full of the old
characters that inhabit the foothills of

company of well known players.
Nathan Hale, the young American,
who at the age of 21, sacrificed his life
in his endeavor to obtain important in
formation of the movements of the Bilt

that will be presented at the Crawford
Monday. The production had a memor
able run at the Knickerbocker theater
in New Tork and it will be seen wi:n
precisely the same scenic outfit and bril
liant costuming that were so much ad
mired at that time. It is claimed that
the company presenting it is a superior
one. In these days of glorious and erv- i
thusiastic patriotism, a play dealing
with such a stirring topic of American
history cannot fail to make a deep ini
pression. The leading part will be takan
by Howard Kyle. , I

Place Where Bad Boys
Given Close Attention.
Are
SEPARATE STUDENTS.
The Teacher Is an Athlete and
Trained Boxer.
Pupils Will Be Held in Check
by Mr. Smith.
Hutchinson, March 28. The school
room provided by the board of educa
tion to accommodate pupils having been
expelled and those who have refused to
attend school is now ready. Mr. Delbert
Smith has been appointed as teacher
of the room arid has before him an im
portant work.
Those who know Mr. Smith well say
that the new room will have a most
excellent teacher and the pupils will
have before them a splendid example.
The boys who do not appreciate the
great benefit of securing an education
and the boys who are too full of mis
chief to admit of talcing advantage of
other schools are here to be given a
start in the right direction. It will be
a room especially adapted to character
moulding, and the task will be a diffi
cult one. Mr. Smith in the first place is
a- young man whom the strong unruly
boy cannot help but admire. He is an
accomplished athlete, a quality that
boys good or bad are sure to admire.
He is able to convince the boys that
they need training, even if he has to
put on boxing gloves with them to con
duct the argument.
Tne effect of the so-called truant room
may already be seen in the Hutchinson
schools. Boys who have been working
for expulsion . that they might be free
to go hunting and spend their time in
having fun, have changed their tac
tics. If they are expelled now, it only
means a transfer to the truant room.
These boys who go to the truant room,
it ia understood, will have every oppor
tunity to work back into the other
schools on their deportment, but while
they are there they will have the benefit
of just as good schooling and will not
lose the time, nor will they be getting
into trouble by being idle. The move
ment is simply an earnest effort on the
part of the board to benefit the schools
and the pupils, and if parents of the
boys who may be sent to the specia
room will understand the matter and
will give their aid and support, the new
room will wrork no end of good to the city
schools and the boys of Hutchinson.
