SOME PUGILISTIC GOSSIP
Peter Maher Is the Athlete of
the Hour.
READY TO MEET ALL COMERS
What Sporting Men Has to Say of the Cham
pionship Bestowed Upon Him
by Corbett.
New York, Nov. 15.—Champion Peter
|Maher Is the athlete of the hour. Every
where In sporting circles the Irish pugi
.list’s brilliant victory over Steve O'Don
nell in record-breaking time was dis
cussed, and nothing but words of praise
>were bestowed upon Maher for his clever
work. The prevailing opinion was that
the good natured Irishman was equal to
the task of defeating either Fitzsimmons
or Corbett in a contest of skill and endur
ance under Marquis of Queensberry rules.
The action of Corbett in announcing
his retirement from tho ring and crown
ing Maher king .of all pugilists caused
considerable comment. Corbett's friends
justified his position by pointing to the
latter's experience in Texas and Arkan
sas, showing that no fight can take place
in this country in which the retired
champion figures as a principal. On the
other hand there were others who said
that Corbett's move was a clever, ruse
to avoid a fight with Maher, and they
criticised him severely.
Whether those who espouse the cause
of Corbett or thosd who condemn it are
light, the fact remains that Peter Maher
(in the eyes of the public is the champion
heavy weight pugilist of the world, Cor
bett having given the title to the cham
(pion.
Maher has accepted the title, but is
not satisfied with the empty distinction
conferred upon him. He wants to de
tfend it, and is prepared, he says, to fight
any man in the world who disputes his
claim to the championship.
He expresses a preference for Goddard
and Fitzsimmons, they being the only
fighters who ever defeated him.
opinions AUout manor.
When asked his opinion of Mahi%s
ability as a fighter and Corbett's action
in presenting the championship to the
Irishman, ‘‘Phil" Dwyer said:
"Maher is a great fighter. He has im
proved wonderfully since his first ap
pearance in a ring contest in this coun
try, and no pugilist can afford to take
liberties with him. He is a terrific and
much more scientific hitter than most
persons give him credit for. A man who
can defeat O'Donnell In forty-four sec
onds of actual fighting time is certainly
a great pugilist. When Maher came to
this country he knew nothing about the
game of boxing, but, novice though he
•was at the time he fought Fitzsimmons,
he had him beaten had he followed his
advantage. Taking his lack of experi
ence into consideration then and noting
his improvement now, I think he will
make things very unpleasant for Flu
if he ever meets him.
“As to Corbett's action in awarding
the championship to Maher, I don’t think
it is right. If Corbett has retired, he has
forfeited the championship. Maher and
Fitz should fight for it, the winner to be
the champion. Maher cannot honestly
claim the title until he has defeated
Fitzsimmons.”
"Jim” Hall, the middle weight pugilist,
said:
“Maher can beat either Fitzsimmons or
Corbett, 1 have met them all and I think
I am well qualified to express an intelli
gent opinion. Peter is unquestionably
Ihe hardest hitter in the ring today, and
a very clever sparrer. He could always
hit hard, but he lacked science and ex
perience. Now that he is well versed in
the last two departments he is invinci
ble. When I fought Maher everybody
paid It was a ‘fake.’ That statement did
Maher and myseff great Injustice. The
truth of the matter is that Maher sur
prised me so much by his cleverness and
bitting force that he had me In trouble in
the second round, and my clumsy efforts
to save myself from the humiliation of
a knockout may have given the affair a
peculiar appearance.”
“Nobody knows better than I how hard
Maher can hit, for my head was covered
with big bumps at the end. Corbett, I
believe, had a perfect right to present
Maher with the championship. He won
Jt fairly and squarely, and as his prop
erty he could present It to any man who.
In his judgment, was capable of defend
ing it successfully.”
"Sam” Fltzpartlck, manager of “Kid”
T n xH rrn n calrl 1
"Maher’s victory over O’Donnell dem
onstrated that he is a wonderful fighter,
and he will he a hard nut for Fitzsim
mons to crack. True, Fitz beat Maher,
but that does not figure to any extent.
When the Australian met Peter the lat
ter was only a green boy, whose knowl
edge of boxing was very limited. At that
.time he could have beaten Fitz if he had
known enough to follow up his advan
tage. Maher will certainly be recognized
as champion now. Nobody should ques
tion Corbett’s right to turn the cham
jplonshlp over to the Irishman. It was
the Californian's prerogative to make
a present of the title to any man capable
of defending the title, and no man posted
on pugilistic matters will dispute the wis
dom of Corbett’s selection.”

one of the men who put up part of Cor
bett's stake for his fight with Sullivan,
said:
"Corbett is justified In taking the stand
he has in this matter. There is apparent
ly no place where he can fight at pres
ent, and his wisdom in retiring will, I
think, be admitted by all fair minded
mem As to his action in giving Maher
the championship, I think it a just and
fitting one. As champion he had a right
to dispose Of the title as he saw fit, and
I know of no man he could have presented
it to who is better qualified to defend it
than teter Maher. Peter is a fighter, and
no mistake.”
"Mike” Donovan, bosing instructor at
the New York Athletic club, said:
“Maher is a wonder. He can come
pretty near defeating any pugilist in the
world. He is not the champion yet, how
ever. Corbett had no license to give him
the championship. Fitzsimmons is the
man whom he should have named as his
successor as champion. ‘Fitz’ defeated
Maher, and nobody has aver got a de
cision over him. Until Maher defeats
'Fitz' he cannot claim the championship,
Corhett to the contrary notwithstand
ing.”
Martin Dowling, the backer of Billy
Plimmer, said:
"Instead of announcing his retirement
from the ring. Corbett should have made
a match with Maher immediately. It
would have been more manly and made
him more friends than the course he has
taken in the matter. Maher can, in my
judgment, best all the big fellows.”
Arthur Burnley, Tom O'Rourke and
Parson Davies echoed Dowling's senti
ments.
FROM MONTGOMERY.
Texas Exhibit En Route to the Exposition,
Rivaling for Crowds—The Su
preme Court.
Montgomery, Nov. 15.—(Special.)—Mr.
W. W. Dexter, formerly of this city, now
of the great state of Texas, spent today
in the city, en route, to Atlanta with the
Texas exhibit for the exposition. He has
a magnificent collection of the products
of his great state, most beautifully ar
ranged in a car built for the purpose.
Accompanying the exhibit car is a beauti
ful car arranged after the fashion of a
drawing room. It is beautifully decorat
ed with Texas-made carpets, shades, cur
tafns, etc., and the handsome and massive
furniture made of Texas oak was carved
and upholstered by the convicts in lh"
Texas penitentrary. The floor and walls
are finished in mock marble, a plaster
patent which was recently invented by
a Texan, and which promises to become
an important industry. Mr. Dexter, who
is in charge, is a grandson of Mr. Andrew
Dexter, who established Montgomery,
who gave her her streets and capitol
grounds, and in whose honor Dexter ave
nue was named. Many old friends called
on Mr. Dexter and his wife at the car.
Rivalry for Crowds.
The Montgomery public has witnessed a
lively contest this week on the part of the
two local theaters for crowds. Each has
had a good, popular-priced company.
The theater management has had the
Baldwin-Melville company. McDonald
has had the Graig Grame company. Mc
Donald appears to have had the advant
age on crowds since the week opened.
He has been giving his patrons fine shows
for the money.
Supreme Court.
The court adjourned today until No
vember 18, Monday next, when the im
peachment against Judge Robinson of
Lee county will be taken up. The sixth
division, composed of the counties of
Blount, Cullman, Fayette. Joffereon, La
mar, Marion, Pickens, Tuskaloosa, Walk
er and Winston, will be called on Novem
ber 25, 1895.
Montgomery Wants the Game.
It is very probable that the great game
of football arranged between Auburn and
Tuskaloosa to take place in Tuskaloosa
on Saturday, November 23, will be trans
ferred here. The faculty at Auburn,
after much wrangling, has consented for
the Auburn team to play here, and it now
only remains for the faculty at the uni
versity to do the same.
There is much local interest here taken
in athletics and especially football, and
there is no doubt that if the game takes
place here that there will be a large crowd
to witness it from this city and the sur
rounding towns.

DR. SALISBURY'S WORDS.
Anyone who has ever met Dr. Salis
bury will never forget him. Although
over 80, he has as bright a mind and in
tellect as most younger men. Of course,
every one knows him as the inventor of
hot water cure and the Salisbury steak,
and that he Is the authority on diges
tion and stomachic troubles.
"I studied the subject direct from na
ture," he said. "In order to know Just
how much nourishing power there was
in various foods, I employed four men
whose only duty it was to remain in the
house with me and eat such food only
as I directed. They thought they had se
cured the finest kind of a position. I be
gan by taking a diet of beans, and in
thirteen days there was not a man who
could walk across the room. I myself
was nearly prostrated. After recovery
we tried various other vegetables. A
person can live eighteen days on oat meal
and twenty days on cracked wheat."
"What are the most hnlieaUhful
things, doctor?” was asked.
"The most unhealthful vegetable in the
world is asparagus. No man or woman
can exist to exceed seven days on this
insidious vegetable. Why it is that peo
ple have gotten the idea that it is health
ful I cannot understand, unless it is from
the peculiar odor it gives to Lhe fluids
that pass from the body. Some people
believe it is healthful for the kidneys,
but there is nothing which I know of
that Is more injurious. As for beef, it is
sustaining and strengthening, and in
valids should take it as much as possible
and avoid such vegetables as they know
to be unhealthful."

morphine to relieve pain, but he took
enough to have killed several people.

Well Armed and Equipped With Dynamite
Left for Cuba.
Jacksonville. Fla., Nov. 15.—A cable
gram to the Timcs-Union from Key
West, Fla., says:
The Times-Unlon correspondent is re
liably informed that an expedition con
sisting of between 500 and 600 men well
equipped left Cudjoes on Monday for
Cuba. It is stated that besides of plenty
of ammunition, rifles, matches, etc., they
carried considerable dynamite. On Sat
urday midnight flash lights were scan
by parties oh the south beach Jn the di
rection of the reef, which caused it to be
reported in the city that some vessel in
distress was signalling for assistance.
Several pilot boats left for the direction
in which the lights were seen, but at day
light Sunday they could see nothing to
indicate an accident. It Is now reported
that the signals were intended for the
men on the Keys and for them to get
ready.
The name of the steamer which car
ried the expedition is known to some of
the prominent Cubans, but they refuse
to talk on the subject and profess to be
surprised at the report. These men are
some of the same captured on the
schooner Lark and Antoinette, who im
mediately upon being released by the
United States commissioner, before
whom they were tried for alleged viola
tion of the neutrality laws, left for the
Keys and remained there until Monday
of this week, where they were constantly
drilled In military tactics by General
Cuspere, an cx-captaln in the French
army. It Is also reported that General
Collazo, who mysteriously disappeared
from Orlando a short while back, was
one of the party.

For Mental Worry.
An eminent phyplolun of tho last cen
tury, Dr. Manserriah, In an exhaustive
treatise on “The Physical and Mental
Treatment of tfib Human Body,” gave a
remody for mental worry as follows: “Lot
the sufferer think of the person whom ho
or she loves bost, dwell upon his or her
charms and graces, cogitate deeply upon
tbo affection ono bears for the other. ” The
good doctor’s postscript, however, suggest
ed a want of faith either in himself or his
patlonts, for It reads: “If this does not
have a soothing effoot, then let the patient
try a small draft of strongly brewed ten,
with a lump of ginger in It. Tho efficacy
of this Is wonderful,” an encomium, by
the way, whloh ho did not bestow upon
tho first paragraph.—Now York Timos.
