Steps have at last been taken toward

the colored pugilist's manager, and
Warren Lewis, late backer of Jim Hall,
met some of the elllcials of the Ceney

discussing the prospects of a meeting
between the two noted pugilists the
" Parson" and Lewis were assured that
the Ceney Island Athletic Club would
offer a nurse of $25,000 in the event of
the battle being fought at that club.
The organization", however, wishes it
te be understood that they will net
proceed further in the matter until the

One of the Shere Line trains was com

eon Uerald. A young man entered the
smoking car at New Londen, pulled &
boelc from his grip and a T. D. from his
pocket, filled the T. D., lighted it and
settled comfortably into his scat for the
journey.
Pretty seen a pleasant aromatic odor
began te prevade the car in his vicinity.
It hed a suggestion of cubebs, but was
net cubebs. There was a hint of sweet
fern, yet It was different
The drummers who were playing
whist in the opposite seats sniffed the
lr and looked about; se did the old
fwntleman In the Eeat In front of the
youth -with the T. D.
By and by the old gentleman turned
around and said: "I beg your pardon,
young man, but may 1 ask what you
are smoking?"
The young man smiled. "I am try

aid. "My Bweetheart objects te tobac

If I let the great weed alone. New you,
as a smoker yourself, knew that the
principal pleasure of smoking comes
from the habit of holding the pipe or

A COMMON GEOGRAPHY.
h'cheme for a Uniform l'lan te Kmbrace AU
Ceuntrle.
WA8itiNOTOf, Sept 17. The secre
tary of state has been Informed by the
Swiss charge d'affaires here that In the
session of August 14, 18U1, the Inter
national congress of International
sciences, assembled at Berne, an
nounced that It was urgent te elab
orate and publish In nil civilized
countries, bibliographies of geographi
cal sciences following, as far as pos
sible, a uniform plan, and that the best
methods of realizing this project
would be te instttute in each country a
central commission, te which the work
should be entrusted. These commissions
would maintain with each ether con
stant relations and conduct the work
upon the same principles and aid each
ether by an interchange of documents.
The directing committee of congress
has charged the central commission of
"Swiss Geographic Bibliography" te
take the necessary steps for carrying
out the wish expressed and te glve te
the resolution the widest pessible pub
licity. As the geographical publica
tions nre scattered and incompletely
catalogued nt present, it Is impossible
te collect them for study. The publi
cation In all civilized countries of
.systematic repertories of geography
would be of great utility. In
several countries efforts made in
this direction have met with success.
The Swiss ge"ernmcnt has requested
Secretary Fester te call the attention of
the Geographic and ether nnalegus so
cieties existing in the United States te
,the wish expressed by the International
and Geographic congress of Bcrnc,1891,
and te desire them te further It by in
stituting a central commission for pub
lishing a bibliography of geographic
science relating te the United States,
LEMON JUICE A PREVENTIVE.
It Knocks tbe llneltll Silly A (ienrreui
Girt Frem New Yerk Fruit Oonlera for
Victims.
New Yeiik, Sept 17. The importers
and dealers in Mediterranean fruit held
a meeting Thursday. The chairman,
Mr. Hirzel, stated that the object of the
tall was te contribute a sufficient quan
tity of lemons te the cholera patients
se that they can partake of the lemon
Juice, which has been recommended by
leading physicians.
On motion of Antheny Zuccn, the
dealers and the importers decided te
contribute 100 boxes of the finest Mes
sina lemons, which were sent te quaran
tine Friday morning. Chevnller Leuis
Centlcln. the president, read a commu
nication from Dr. Christmas of the
Pasteur college. Dr. Christmas says:
"Te render in time of cholera the use
of unbeiled drinking water harmless
lemon Juice Is recommended. Acids are
detrimental te cholera bacillus."
Dr. Christinas found that nine grains
of acid of lemon used In water of the
Paris aqueducts rendered within a
quarter of an hour all the cholera bacil
lus harmless. Nine grains of said acid
destroys in the same amount of wnter
nil the bacillus of typhus. Twe grains
of acid of lemon added te a quart of
water is sullicicnt te make drinking wa
ter totally harmless.

New Yerk, Sept 17. The Hearld's
inoculation cholera correspondent has
left Paris for Hamburg. Tills Is his
statement before leaving: "I feel per
fectly well from two inoculations with
the exception of a tenderness and a cer
tain pricking ever portions of my body
where the inoculation has spread I go

with his wife and two children, the old eld

Jest a baby in its mother's anna
Fer some thne Van Moter has shown
evidences of mental derangement, but
nothing serious was apprehended by his
family or neighbors. Thursday night
the family retired as usual, but when
the eldest boy awoke Friday morning
he was dumbfounded te find himself
alone In the house, his parents and baby
sister having disappeared during the
night
After waiting a whlle for them te re
turn the boy started te go te his grand
fathers, about a mile distant When
about one huudred yards from the
house he was horrified te find his moth
er and little sister lying dead in his
path, their heads crushed and bodies
terribly mutilated.
The terrified boy seen alarmed the
neighbors, iwhe at once instituted a
search for Van Meter, but without suc
cess. It is thought that after murder
ing hlswlfe and child Van Meter sought
some out of the way place and took his
own life. It may be some time before
his body Is found, If such Is the case.
WAR PROBABLE.
Tite Hostile Forces of the Choctaw Natien
Which Mar Itencw the Conflict at Any
Moment.
Seuth McAm.istek, I. T., Sept 17.
iDark and ominous clouds nre rising ever
the entire Choctaw nation. Intense ex
citement prevails everywhere. The
agreement which was signed by promi
nent leaders of both parties has been
rescinded, and wnr is liable te breakout
at a moment's notice. Beth parties are
continually receiving reinforcements,
despite Tuesday's agreement te dis
arm and disperse. A party from the
Jacksen faction is encumped near,
while one from the opposite Bide Is
within sheeting distance of them. Tlie
United States troops garrisoned at Ft
Rene have been placed at the disposal
of Indian Agent Bennett by Assistant
Adjutant General McICcener. Mr. Ben
nett has net as yet succeeded In his
mission te restere peace. The bone
of contention new is the dispo
sition te be made of the fifteen prison prisen prison
eners who are held for the killing of
four men Saturday. They ardln the hands
of their friends who propose te held
them for trial, but will net deliver them
te the governors. It has been suggested
that this controversy may be settled by
delivering them te the federal Jail at
Ft Smith, for safe-keeping, until they
may receive proper trial. Unless some
arrangement can be directed within the
twenty-four hours, It is feared that the
two parties will meet in mortal combat
