20-round bout with Eddie Gardner in that city Sept. Press. Jack Reidy says he is not only willing to fight Joe Maxfield at any time aud for aiiy amount, but is also anxious to wager 300 on the side that he will get the decision. There is nothing on the surface of the earth of which the club owners are in such dread as a court of justice. It cost them $0,000 to keep Rusie's salt from reaching trial aud there is little doubt about Griffin getting his money.

He has not been on a base ball field this season, but sets up the claim that he was at all times ready and willing to report for duty with Brooklyn. The magnates can much better afford to pay his $8,500 than to have the rule ly which players are bought and sold at the pleasure of the club owners pronounced null and void.

Louis joker made a wager of $250 to $500 not long ago that the Wanderers would lose 100 games before ihey won 20. He had nervous prostration after the Nomads' victory over the Giants last Friday.

Old Jerry Denny, who once wore a Cleveland uniform, is making a remarkable record in the Nutmeg league.

He must hav had a weak spot somewhere, for lie was far from brutally Miss Ida L. Baker Will Succeed Professor Postleln tbe High School--Several Otber Changes. and Sharkey Matched. New York, Sept.

Jeffries of California and Tom Sharkey of Dundalk, Ireland, will fight for the heavyweight championship of the world at the Coney Island Sporting club on October 23. This was decided at a meeting of the managers of the pugilists. The Coney Island club offered 66 2-3 per cent of the gate receipts with a guarantee of $30,000 and deposited a certified check for $2,500 as a forfeit from fighters have taken greater and harde punishment and survived. Dan Need ham, his second, made the remark re cently that George Dawson knocket him down four times in one round in their remarkable contest and he came ont alive. Needham is of the opinion that Franey was unsound.

"He was very nervous before the fight," saic Danny. "His condition seemed good bnt he worried about When McConnell knocked him down the firs time I wanted to stop the fight, but the police wouldn't let me. When I went to jump in the ring they pulled me down. If I had broken into the ring would have saved his life." Two good fights are scheduled for tonight.

"Bill wanted two passes for the game for his wife and a lady friend, who was a guest of Mrs.

Clarke. He made application to Selee for the passes and was referred to President Soden. Bill was shown to the Soden sanctum by the Soden servitor and was curtly asked what he wanted. 'Two pusses for my wife and a lady 'Well, I don't know who you are, Bill paused, gasped, his head swam, he gave his name, and he asked Soden if he was joking. 'Young roared Sodeu, 'you must prove yon are Bill Clarke.

Bill was released from his dilemma by a manager who happened into Soden's office in the midst of the conversation and swore that the lank young man in question was none other than Catcher William Clarke. Soden doesn't take the interest of his players much to heart. I have heard that he isn't even on nodding terms with any of the players who have joined the team within the past two or three years, and that Kid Nichols, Lowe and Herman Long were on the team four years before he became acquainted with them." H. D. Boyd, manager of Young Gibbs, offers to bet $225 to $200 that his protege can defeat Freddy Green.

Jim Jeffords, the Californian who claims to have once knocked Jim Jeffries off his feet, will arrive in New York in a few days. His first fight in the east will be with Gna Rnhlin.

The principals were Joe Rodd of Maumee and Dan Buregard of Toledo. The seconds were Charles Buregard and Charles Rodd, with Frank Marks of Maumee as timekeeper.

The whole outfit, with the exception of Buregard, one of tne principals, was arrested, he escaping through the window. The prisoners were taken to Perrysburg and fined $1 0 and costs each by Mayor Bowers. None of the spectators were arrested, although the affair was largely attended by a number of prominent citizens. It is rumored that several indictments are liable to be found at the next sitting of the grand jury. Greatest Day of the Season.

These acts are the very best that the world of vaudeville affords and the program as a whole promises to be one of the most interesting of the season. Netio, the great electric dancer, heads the list with an act that is as marvelous as it is Tace- fnl and interesting. Arthur Amsden will be here and please all by his selections upon the cornet. He has the repu- being one of the best soloists on the stage. Among other things he plays on two cornets of- different key at the same time and produces the most delightful harmony.

Twelve members of the board of education met last evening and made the final arrangements, as far as the board is concerned, for the opening of the schools on Tuesdav- The primary purpose of the holding of the meeting was the election of li successor to Prof Herman R.

Postle, who sent in his resignation by wire shortly after his marriage The committee on teachers and salaries had a report all prepared and said that they had a teacher ot.seven years' training, with a college education and all the essential qualifications of an excellent teacher who would accept the position for $600. The report was unanimously adopted and Miss Ida L. Baker of Toledo will teach mathematics the coming year. Miss Baker taught two years at Defiance and five years at Norwalk in the high school. After this she went to the University of Michigan and took a special course in mathematics.

For the past year she has been engaged in the lower grades at Toledo. There will also be several changes among the teachers in the lower grades. Miss J.

Mormon elders were conducting .1 meeting in a house at Piu Bluff, Stewart county, vih: i the building was stormed by a mob of over 100 men.

Eggs and rocks ero thrown through the windows and the building almost entirely demolished. Those present fled in a panic to save their lives. Elders Hiram Olson and H. C. Petty left the building with a view of escape.

Miss Lucy Carter will be promoted to the eighth grade in the Eighth ward. Mrs. Edna Day will have charge of the sixth grade in the Tenth ward.

All other teachers will be placed the same as last year. A very important matter and one which evoked considerable discussion was brought up by President Alleudorf, who called attention to the fact that the board of health had filed notice that all scholars must be vaccinated. At the time it was presented, which was sev- weeks ago, there was no action taken, as it seemed to the members to be a mere matter of form and only to be enforced in the presence of danger. Smallpox still exists in the city aud it was up to the board to do something to prevent the spread of the disease and comply with the orders of the board of lealth. The condition was a perplexing one and presented dilemmas fromauy point of view.

If the board neglected to take any action looking towards the enforcement of the order, it would render im- ossible the intervention of the state or local board of health and the closing of schools. The other side was presented by Prof. Williams, who saw in an order of coni- )olsiou a delay on the part of the pupils get into the classes and the consequent demoralization of class work for ome time. He estimated that only two birds of the pupils would be able to omply with the order and suggested he schools be not opened until Sept. 11.

The suggestion, however, was not adopted and the schools will be opened next Tuesday Another Cleveland Riot. Cleveland, Sept. riot broke out on Central avenue. A small torpedo exploded under the wheels ot a Central aveuue car and a large crowd of foreign workingmen assembled They soon began to throw stones at the passing cars. Police charged the crowd and clubbed it As the rioters broke away the police made ten arrests.

During the rioting the crews of several cars that passed fired revolvers over the heads of the mob. Christian Scientists to Fight. Laporte, Sept. state compulsory edueatioaal law will be tested in Laporte county, where a congregation of Christian Scientists will resist the order of vaccination of school children, issued by the state board of health. The faith cures claim that the edict cannot be carried out and that they will resist its enforcement.

Christian scientists throughout the United States will be appealed to for assistance. Protectorate for Cuba. Havana. Sept. Ramon Williams, former United States consul general here, thinks the idea of a protectorate is growing- stronger every day.

He believes the scheme represents very largely, the feeling of the influential classes. Rather Larpe. Meanwhile the president can't complain if qm'stions about Captain Carter ahould figure largely in aridremnd to him. One million, nix hundred thousand represent large Grwwforhfc Philadelphia At that time very scholar must come furnished with certificate of successful vaccination within the last five years. Those who not have them will be sent home and iot allowed to enter until they have omplied with the regulations.

It will xissibly result in a greatly decreased at- udance in the start as the time is too hort now to allow of a successful vac- ination before the schools open. It also nrnishes an excellent loophole for par- nts who do not care whether their bildren attend school or not and will onbtless be hailed with joy by the pro- essioual truant. The notice in the press notice to the parents. Have your liildren vaccinated or they will not be llowed to enter. The order will be vigorously and impartially enforced.

Mr. iuerkle wanted to have the teachers iu- luded in the order, but the board did ot think it necessary to take such a pre- aution. Bids Received. The following were the bids received noon today by City Clerk Miller for 7,000 4 per cent sewer refunding bonds irst National bank, Columbus, N. W.

Cou'iiBrs, Sept. the notable indorsements of the result of the convention is an editorial appearing in the Columbus Press-Post, which supported the candidacy of Col. James Kil- bourue prior to the nomination. It is as follows: "When the will of that majority is authoritively interpreted by the representatives of the people in convention, their action must be taken as expressing the people's desire. There is no other way to ascertain that desire, which, when thus learned, becomes the standard of allegiance by which all other standards must be judged.

"The very name Democracy implies government by the greatest number for the benefit of the whole. To ascertain the will of the majority and to act in accordance with it is the highest duty of any party. A house divided against itself cannot stand, and there is no way to guarantee that it shall stand except by the acquiesence of the minority the will of the majority. "The representatives of the Ohio Democracy at Zanesville having nominated Hon. John R.

McLean for governor, because the majority of them were convinced that he, better than any other man at this time, is qualified to lead the party to victory, all the interests represented by other candidates in that convention will now contribute to his election every effort in their power. "Mr. McLean stands as the personification of Democracy, against the gigaii- tic evils which an incompetent national administration has saddled upon the country, and others still greater, yet to be endured, unless the administration is Tebufced next November; against the corrupt rule of Hannaism, which had its highest demonstration in the theft of a United States senatorship; against the trust power that is now writing modern economic history; against every policy that would turn our country into a mil- itaiy camp and our congress aud legislatures into councils for corruption, breeding contempt abroad, immorality at home and inevitably presaging the dissolution of the union. "He stands for the broadest interpretation of the word Democracy; for that government deriving its powers from the consent of the governed, which Lincoln declared, 'Shall not perish from the earth for a just distribution of the products of toil according to the desserts of the individual; for liberty at home, and wherever on the globe its blessings are appreciated and may be enjoyed in a word, for a government of. for, and by the people, that shall cherish prosperity and hoppiucss at home, aud peace with all nations.

"In all that his candidacy implies whether against tyranny or for justice, Mr. McLean will receive the support of all voters in Ohio who are not blinded by partisanship and desire that this government shall be administered according to the principles of the declaration aud the sacred obligations of the constitution." ing, Sept. 1, instructed the ent of schools to notify all pupils aud patrons that a certificate of recent sue 1 cessf nl vaccination will be required as a I condition of admission at the opening of the schools.

The bowling alleys at Cedar Point have been the means of inspiring great interest in this most interesting and helpful form of sports. There have been alleys in this city for some time, bnt a few initiated were the only ones who enjoyed the game to any extent. Since, however, the erection of the alleys at the Point, not to know the game is a mark of slowness. Not- only the men, bnt the ladies, too, have taken up the fad and their interest in the game even outdistances that of the men. Many are sorry to see the Point close on account of these alleys, but they need not be uneasy on this account as it is given out that several alleys will be erected in this city as soon as the Point closes.

One will be put in in the opera house block by Joe Hess, who has charge of the Point alleys. It will be fitted ont in a royal style and certain hours or days will be reserved for the use of ladies. It will also be equipped for the accommodation of bowling parties which promises to become a fad during the winter. It is also said that certain parties have under consideration the erection of an alley at the Market building. The old alleys are also being improved in order to keep pace with the march of time.

Gibson's alleys are at present in the hands of the Sandusky Store Fixture company, which is fitting them up. The alleys proper have been smoothed down and otherwise improved. The room has has also been repainted and all accomodations for the public put in. A formal opening of the alleys will be given next week.

Bids For the Klotz Kromer Works Were Too Low. Receiver Curran today offered the property of the Klotz Kromer company for sale at public auction at the court house steps. He went into the company's affairs in detail, and proved to his own satisfaction that the property was worth a great deal more than the $18,000 which he was compelled to get out of it. He used all his persuasive powers to no advantage, as the bids offered amounted to only $13,300. Of this $12,500 was offered by James Woolworth for the real estate and fixtures, and the rest was offered by George Feick for the stock on hand.

No more bids were forthcoming aud the property will have to be offered again. Mr. Cnrran said that in the five weeks he has had charge the profits of the concern have been $900.
