VOL. VIII. THE QUEEN OF In Her School Days Miss Polsom Was i Thought One of the Prettiest Girls iv Buffalo. Her Fondness for Society Caused Her to Tail in Geometry, Chemistry and President Cleveland's Touching Tribute to tho Father of the Wliite House Bride to lie. Talk of a Public Demonstration on tne Arrival of the Bride andCiroom From Buflalo.

miss Folsoiu's Schooldays. Special to the Globe. Buffalo, N.Y., May Miss Frances Folsom, President Cleveland's bride-elect, graduated from Wells college at Aurora, X. last .1 une. and previous to entering that institution passed two years of school life at the high school here.

She was only 15 years old when she entered the central, as the high' school was then called, and lived with her widowed mother at IIS Niagara street, just four blocks from the school. She became at once a meat favorite with i lie teachers and scholars, and her beauty made her the belle of the school at once. The big boys in the senior class vied with one another in their attentions to the little beauty, and it is said she- never had to carry her books to or from school so devoted and attentive were her admirers. She studied physics. algebra and Latin during the first term, and passed a creditable examination in all three at the close of the term.

Her weekly average was 79.35 out of a possible 'JO. Miss Folsom's second term at the Central commenced in February, ISSO, and that winter and spring saw the young girl fully established as the queen of beauty in the younger society set in which she moved. She was A BBHXIA3JT COXVEBBATIONAMST, a graceful dancer and so fond of gave ty that very few of the numerous invitations she received to parties and theaters -were refused. The result of the too much attention to society was evident in her school work, and at the end of her term her marks were so low that she was not allowed to try the examinations in geometry, chemistry and Cffisar. Her composition average was 75.

but several of her effusions in the form of letters written to imaginary relatives and friends received the highest rnarK. Frankie's reputation as a letter writer has always been of the highest, and those of her friends who have been favored with letters during her stay in Europe speak enthusiastically of their interest and their very clever bits of description of scenes and places visited. During the first year at the Central, Frankie reviewed geometry and Csesar, and took up the study of physical geography in place of chawistry. She passed all three examinations an average of SI. She studied rhetojke, advanced geometry and Virgil during her second term, and her average SO.

It was at this time that FRAKKIE'S FIRST IiOVEB, now Rev. Charles Townsend. appeared on the scene. He afterward married a Lansingburg. N.

young lady, and is now pastor of a Presbyterian church at that place. When the fall came Frankie went to school during the month of September only. IS he commenced the study of French and physiology. In February, ISSI, she obtained an honorable discharge from "the Central," and entered Wells college in the middle of the freshman year. iShe obtained no honors at the Central nor at Wells col- Ifcsc, enjoyed the highest esteem of her associates, and was always regarded as a bright student, though not a brilliant one.

She was chosen to deliver the class prophecy at the graduation exercises last June, but gave instead a sketch, of which the following is a very complete outline: Miss Cynthia Drake and her niece lived topetlieronthe banks of the Hudson. Miss Cynthia was 50, withered in body and heart, sour and narrow. Miss Elizabeth, her niece, was 10. suuny in disposition, tall and grace-lul in carriage, but njt pretty. Miss Cynthia adhered to custom in all things.

Miss Elizabeth did not. She desired a personality of her own, TO ACT FTTH hf.hset.f. She would not do thiujrs just because other people did and she was wont to remind her aunt that Mr. Mill said: "Tho despotism of custom is everywhere tho standing hindrance to human that George Eliot found the "strongest principles of gnvwtb in human choice." She contact with the world, and gladly accepted an invitation from an Albany cousin to spend a winter with her. The cousin.

Miss Van Vleet, much perplexed as to she could do with a youug woman so original as "to abhor bangs, snub Anglo- American young men, and have views on education, politics and even on temperance," wrote a despairing loiter to her cousin in New York. Mr. Robert McGregor, begging him to help her out of the predicament, and he helped her by marrying Miss Elizabeth. Many years later two gentlemen are talking together in the conservatory of a fashionable New York lady. Tho subject under discussion was Mrs.

Kobort. McGregor, who had developed into not such a woman as her girlhood predicted. "She docs not care a snap of her finger for public opinion," says one of the gentlemen. "The best of it is she never raaircs a uispiuy of HER OWN' OPINIONS, but simply goes to work and does what she thinks right. You will never find wine on her table nor hear of her boys drinking it in other places, and I know of several young friends of hers who have given up smoKing because Mrs.

McGregor does uot like smoke. It seems to be her great hobby that every one shall flnri his or her place in the world, and then stick to it in the face of everything." Soon after her death her husband," now an old man. and her granddaughter are talking of her influence on those aroun 1 her at home and abroad. He closed his talk by saying: "From a thoughtful, serious girl, she became a true and helpful wife: her tender motherhood crowned this, but the secret of it all, that which s'Tit an electric current through every stage of her life, making it glow witti a pure and exquisite light, was the all-pervading pressure of tho well-developed and unconventional woman soul." OSCAIJ FOLSOM, Frankie's father, was. thrown from his buggy and killed in ISTS.

At a special meeting of the Buffalo bar association, called to take action on his death, Grover Cleveland paid an eloquent tribute of respect to his deceased friend and law partner. He said: Mr. Chairman: jTt is said, "light sorrows speak; great grief is dumb," and the application of this would enforce my silence on this occasion. But I cannot go so fur, nor let hours pass without adding a tribute of respect and love to my departed friend. He was my friend in the most sacred and complete sense of the terms.

I have walked with h'm, talked with him, eaten with him and slept witn him.and was he not my friend? I must not, dare not. recall the memories of our loving friendship not ray brethren think it amiss if I force back the thoughts that come crowding to my mind. It shall 6peak coldly of my friend, but tho most sacred tribute of a sad heart, believe me, is unspoken. In the course of a life not entirely devoid of startling incident, I can truly say I never was so shocked and overwhelmed as when I heard Friday night of Oscar Foleom's death. I had an engagement with him that evening, and was momentarily expecting him when I received the intelligence of his injury, and before I reached the scene of the accident.

I was Abruptly toijD of hts death. I shall not attempt to describe my emotions. Death seemed so foreign to this man and the exuberance of his life was so marke.l and prominent that the idea of his dyinsr or of his death seemed to me incongruous and out of place, and before I saw him dead I found myself reflecting "how strange he would look dying or dead." I had seen him in every other part in tho drama of life, but for this he seemed unfitted. His remarkable social qualities won for him the admiration of all whom he came into contact, while his great kind heart caused all to love him who knew him well. Ho was remarkably true in Ms friendships, and having made a friend, he Daily ST.

The. sadness of his taking otr has no alleviation.

1 shall not dwell upon the harrowiny circumstances. On Friday afternoon Oscar Folsom, in the midday of lite, was cherishing: bright anticipations for the future. Among them ho had planned a home in an adjoining town, where he calculated upon much peace and quiet. He had already partially perfected his arrangements, which were soon to be fully consummated. Within forty-eight short hours ho reached tho town of his anticipated residence.

But God had intervened. The hands of loving friends bore him to a home, but not to the home he had himself provided. IMPROBABLE At tho Time of tlio President's Marriage to Miss Folsoui. Special to the Globe. Washington-, May Interest in the approaching marriage of President Cleveland to Miss Frankie Folsom has been renewed by talk of some kind of a demonstration when the ceremony has been pronounced.

With the fast-growing tendency of the American people to imitate English mobs and French pomp comes the talked-ol' design to make some kind of a public demonstration in honor of the president's marriage. It has been told as probable, should the president be married in Buffalo, where it is said the ceremony will take place, and he should airive here at night with his bride, that there will be a display of fireworks and a general hurrah. This will hardly occur, however, for two reasons, although there may be a large element in favor of it. The bridal party would not herald its coming so as to Rive an opportunity to make a demonstration and would slip into the city at an unexpected hour. Then there is enough opposition in the majority party here toward the president to thwart anything of the kind, the Democrats of this district in a large measure not being satisfied with the distribution of local offices.

A SOUTHERN' CONGRESSMAN of the present political persuasion, whose enthusiasm over the administration is to a Globe correspondent to-day in referring to the approaching marriage: I think it would be proper, if the president is married while congress is in congratulate him by the passage of a joiut resolution, and if nobody else will offer one I will. I think congress should also adjourn over a day. The marriage of a ruler of a nation is always recognized by the people of other countries, and I do not see why the American people should not in some way give expression of their congratulation when the president is married. An expression from congress, it appears to me, would be the proper thing. I understand that there is to be a public Teseption after the marriage, when the first lady of the land will be presented to those of the public, and especially congress, who are favored with invitations.

"There is no doubt that if the president would fix a date and let it become known when he is to be married, and agree upon an hour when he will arrive in Washington with his bride, he would be TENDERED AN OVATION which -would make the heart of the czar of Russia flutter with pride," said an old citizen of this district this afternoon. "The people of this country will seldom be treated to the marriage of a president. It will always be a rare occurrence, and in the present instance everybody thinks it is the very proper thing for the president to get married, and it is an especially auspiciquiv: time, for congratulation, and as it-brings about a better feeling it might just as well be done. I have no idea, however, that the president will permit anything which will be in the way of a public ovation, and that all efforts will be bent toward keeping matters as quiet as possible." Mr. Bissell of Buffalo, who was President Cleveland's law partner, and who is the bachelor executive's most intimate friend, has been around the city for several days, and it has been consequently reported that he is to have charge of the arrangements for the marriage, the transportation of the president to Buffalo, and the return of the bridal party; that he is to act as best man and be the marshal of ceremonies when the public reception is given at the White house.

During his stay here, Mr. Bissell lived at the White house, and was almost constantly in the preseuce of the president. Some NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENTS and reporters had the hardihood to try to interview him on the subject of the marriage, but he good naturally turned them away and refused to tell a word. Mr. Bissell is reputed to be quite gifted in the art of surprises and in the management of matters on the quiet.

The social and Jpolitical affairs that have been under his care at Buffalo have been successes as public matters or as secret affairs, as he chose to make. It is probable, therefore, that if the president has really selected Mr. Bissell as master of affairs he has made a nice selection, and that there will be more surprises and disappointments for the people, and especially I the enthusiastic citizens who want to make a public demonstration at the time of the I marriage. An intimate friend of the president, who has undoubtedly talked to him about the marriage, says the admirers of the administration, who will undoubtedly want to make wedding gifts, may as well take notice now as herefter, that anything sent to the White house in the way a token of regard, in the form of silverware, bric-a-brac, will be returned to the donors. ISiJH DYING OF THIRST.

Texas Cattle Being Taken Off at Terrible Kate. Special to the Globe. Big Springs, May Reports regarding the effect of the long drought are beginning to come in. The plains west of here are parched and dry, and the carcasses of thousands of cattle are to be seen in every direction. In some localities no rain has fallen since last September.

J. W. Dawson and Col. E. Hughes returned to-day from a trip far westward as old Mexico.

Mr. Dawson says that from this side of the Pecos and over in Mexico, as far north as Arizona, it is dryer than it has been for twenty years. Of "the 7,000,000 head of cattle in Texas one-third are in the section visited by drought. Cattle are dying by the thousand, for want of water and grass. There is very little grass anywhere near the water, and that little is so dry and dead that it does not contain enough substance to do the cattle any good.

Cattle are very thin and getting thinner every and if no rain comes within thirty days the cattle business in West Texas will be ruined. The people are very gloomy over the outlook. The drought extends east as far as Biff Springs. No clouds have been seen in months. Even if it should rain now, the cattle would not get fat enough for the market this year.

A rough estimate places the rate of mortality by thirst and starvation at 900 head per day. Fully 000 carcasses cover the plains. The stench, as one passes along on the Texas Pacific west of here, is tearible. ggTMI Gen. Jackson's Courier Dead.

New Orleans, May John L. for two-thirds of a century one of the most prominent figures in the history of this city, died yesterday aged 80. Gen. Lewis was born at Lexington, but came to this city when an infant. He served as a courier for Gen.

Jackson at the battle of New Orleans in 1853. During the late war he was appointed major general of the state volunteers. ST. PAUL, MONDAY MOBNEJG, MAY 17, 188d-TEN PAGES. I THE BATTLE FOR BREAD Dr.

Talmage Begins a Oourse of Sabbath Morning Sermons on the Labor Question. He Says There Will be No fievolution, and Advises Workmen to Stick to Their Work. L.abor and Capital Mutually Dependent, and Relief to Come Throujjli a Bolter Understanding. Co-operativo Associations, Open Books and Religion Mile Stones on the Road to Prosperity. Tannage's Sermon.

Special to the Globe. Bkooklyx, N. May Rev T. De- Witt Talmage to-day began a series of Sabbath morning discourses in the Brooklyn tabernacle, on the all-absorbing labor question, lie discusses the following subjects in the series: The Battle for Bread; The Eights of Capital and Labor; the Hardships Of the Working-classes; How Employers and Employes ought to Treat Each Other, and the Greatest Foe of live in all. The text was Genesis 2: "The earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Dr. Talmage said: Out in space there hung a great chunk of rock and mud and water mid shell, thousands of miles in diameter, more thousands of miles in circumference. A great mass of ugliness, confusion and distortion, uselessness, ghastliness and horror. It seemed like a great commons on which smashed-up worlds were dumped. It was what poetry and prose, scientist and Christian agree iv calling chaos.

Out of that black, rough, shapeless egg our beautiful world was hatched. God stood over that original anarchy of elements and said: "Atlantic ocean, you go right away and lie down there! Pacific ocean, you sleep there! Caucausian range of mountains, you stand there! Mount Washington, you be sentinel there! Mont Blanc, you put on your coronet of crystal there! Mississippi, you march there, and Missouri, you marry it there!" And He gathered in His Almighty hands the sand and mud aud rock, and ROLLED AND HEAVED and molded and dented and compressed them into shape, and then dropped them in four places; and the one was Asia, and another was Europe, and another Africa, and another America, North and South. That original chaos was like the confusion and anarchy into which the human race ever and anon has a tendency to plunge. God has said: "Let there be light of law, of justice, light of peace, light of love!" "No! no!" say anarchic voices; "let there be darkness, let there be cut-throatery, let there be eternal imbroglio, let there be chaos." Such a social condition many are expecting because of the overshadowing contest between labor and capital; there has not been an intelligent man or woman during the last two months has not heard the question: "Shall we have bloodly revolution in this country?" I have heard many answer the question in the aflirmarrve: I answer it in the negative. My brotherly counsel is to three classes of laborers.

First, to those who are at work. Stick to it. Do not amid the excitement of these times drop your employment, hoping that something better will turn up. He who gives up work vow, whether he be railroad man, mechanic, farmer, clerk or any other kind of employe, will probably give it up for You may not like the line of steamers you are sailing in, but do not jump ovekboaud in the Middle of the Atlantic. Be a little clearer than usual at your post of work while this turmoil lasts, and attend to your occupation with a little more assiduity than has ever characterized you.

My brotherly counsel in the secend place is to those who have resigned work. It is best for you and best for everybody to go back immediately. Do not wait to see what others do. Get on board the train of national prosperity before it starts again, for start it will start soon and start mightily. Last year in the city of New York there were forty-hve general strikes aud 177 shop strikes.

Successful strikes, ninety-seven; strikes lost, thirty-four; strikes pending at the time the statistics were made, fifty-nine; strikes compromised, thirty-two. Would you like me to tell you who will make the most out of the present almost universal strike? I can and wilL Those will make the most out of it who go first to work. My third word of brotherly advice is to another class of laborers; namely, those who have been a long time out of work. How many of them? Before this present trouble began there, were nearly 2,000,000 people in this country out ot work and could not get wort. I have for the last ten years been busy much of the time iv trying to get people work who asked for it.

1 have worn myself out again and again, as many of you have, to GET EMPLOYMENT for those who besought it. In some cases we succeeded, in others failed. My brotherly counsel is to the nearly two million people who could not get work before this trouble began and who have themselves and their families to support, to go now and take the vacated places. Go in and take those places a million and a half strong. Green hands you may be now, but you wiil not be green hands long.

My sentiment Is full liberty for all who want to strike to do so, and full liberty for all who want to take the vacated places. Other industries will open for those who are now taking a vacation, for we have only opened the outside door of this continent and there is room in this country for 800,000,000 people and for each one of them a home and a livelihood. This day I declare the mutual dependence of labor and capital. An old tentmaker put it just mean when he declared: "The eye cannot say to the hand. I have no r.eed of thee." You have examined some elaborate machinery a thousand wheels, a thousand bands, a thousand levers, a thousand pulleys, but all controlled by one great water wheel, all the parts adjoined so that if you jarred one part you jarred all the parts.

Relief will come to the working classes of this country through a better understanding between capital and labor. Before this contest goes much- further it will be found that their interests are identical; what helps one helps both; what injures one injures both. Again relief will come to the working classes of this country through a CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION. I am not now referring to trades unions. We may hereafter discuss that question.

But I refer to that plan by which laborers become their own capitalists, taking their surpluses and putting them together and carrying oil great enterprises. Again, I remark that relief will come to the working classes through more thorough discovery on the part of employers tliat it is best for them to let their employes know just how matters stand. The most of the capitalists of to-day are making less than 6 per cent, less than 5 per cent, less than 4 per cent, on their investments. Here and there is an anaconda swallowing down everything, but such are the exceptions. It is often the case that employes blame their employers because they suppose he is geting along grandly, when he is oppressed to the last point of oppression.

I knew a manufacturer who employed more than a thousand hands. I said to him: "Do you ever have any trouble with your workmen? Do you have any strikes?" "No," he said. "What! In this time of angry discussion between capital and labor, no trouble?" None at none." I is that?" "Well," he said, "I have a way of my owu. Every little while I call my employes together, and I say: boys, I want to show you how mutters stand. What you turned out this year brought so much.

You see it isn't as much as we got last year. I can't afford to pay you as much as 1 did. Now, you know I put ALL MY MKAXS in this business. What do you think ought to bo my percentage, and what wages ought Ito pay you? Come, let us settle this. And," said that manufacturer, "we are always unanimous.

When we suffer, we all suffer together. When wo advance, we advance together, and my men would die for me." But when a man goes among his employes with a supercilious air, and drives up to his factory as though he were the autocrat of the universe, with the sun and moon in his vest pockets, moving amid the wheels of the factory, chiefly anxious lest a greased or smirched hand should touch his immaculate broadcloth, he will see in the end that he has made an awful mistake. 1 think that employers will find out after awhile that it is to their interest, as far as possible. to explain matters to their employes. You be frank with them and they will be frank with you Again: I remark, relief will come to the laboring classes through the religious rectification of the country.

Labor is appreciated and rewarded just in proportion as a country is Christianized. An engineer in a New England factory gets sleepy and he does not watch the steam gauge and there is a wild thunder of explosion, and the owner of the mill and one of the workmen are slain. The two slain men come up toward the gate of heaven. The owner of the mill knocks at the gate. The celestial gatekeeper cries: "Who is The reply comes: "1 was the owner of a factory at Fall River, where there was just now, and I lost my life, and 1 want to come iv." "Why do you want to come in, and by what right do you come in?" asks the celestial gatekeeper.

"Oh!" says the man, "I employed 200 or 300 hands. I was a great man at Fall River." "You employed 200 or 300 men," says the gatekeeper, "but how much Christian grace did you employ?" "None at all," says tho owner of the mill. "Step back," says the celestial gatekeeper. "No admittance here for you." Right after comes up the i poor workman. He knocks at the gate.

The shining gatekeeper says: "Who is there?" He says: "I am a poor workman; 1 come from the explosion in Fall River, i would like to enter." "What is your right to come in here?" asks tho shining gatekeeper. The workman says: I'l heard that a shining messenger came forth from your world to our world to redeem it; I have been a bad man; I used to swear when I hurt my hand with the wheel. I used to be angry; I have done a great many wrong things; but I confessed it all to the messenger that came from your country, and after I confessed it he told me to come tip here, and that you may know I have a right to come, there is his name on the palm of my hand; here is his name on my forehead." Then there is a sound of working pulleys, and the gates lift, and the workinginan goes in. There was a vast between the funerals at Fall River. The owner of the mill had a great funeral.

The poor workman had A SMALL FUNERAL. The man who came up on his own pompous resources was shut out of heaven. The poor man, trusting in the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, entered heaven. So you see it is a democratic religion. Ido not care how much money you have, you have not enough to buy your way through the gate.

Ido not care how poor you are, if you have the grace of God in your heart, no one can keep you out. If the shining gatekeeper, smitten by some injustice, should try to keep you out, all heaven would fly from their thrones, and' they would cry, "Let in Let him in!" My friends, you neea to saturate our populations with' the religion of Christ, and wages will be larger, employers will be more considerate, all the tides of thrift will set in. I have the highest authority for saying that godliness is profitable for the life that now is. It pays for the employer. It pays for the employee.

The religion of Christ came out to rectify all the wrongs of the world, and it will yet settle this question between labor and capital just as certainly as you sit there and I stand here. The hard hand of the wheel and the soft hand of the counting-room will clasp each other yet. They will clasp each other in congratulation. They will clasp each other on the glorious morning of the millennium. The hard hand will say: "I ploughed the desert into a garden;" the soft hand will reply: "I furnished the seed." The one hand will say: "I thrashed the mountains," the other hand will say: "I paid for the flail." The one hand will say: "I hammered the spear into a pruning-hook;" and the other hand will answer: "I signed the treaty of peace that made that possible." Then Capital and Labor will lie down together, and the lion and the lamb, and the leopard and the kid, and there will be nothing to hurt or to destroy in all God's holy mount, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

The Boomers Must Go. Special to the Globe. Little Rock, May 16. An Indian territory special says: Within the next ten days all the intruders or "boomers" upon the Cherokee strip will have been removed. Capt.

Price, with a company of the Fifth United States cavalry, has commenced the work of expulsion, and it will be sweeping and complete. Numbers of porsons have squatted on different portions of the strip, erected houses and made other improvements. They will all be driven off at the point of the bayonet if necessary, and the improvements destroyed. It is not believed that violent measures will be needed, but the soldiers will do their duty at all hazards. The intruders number several hundred, and were daily being augmented by new arrivals, until the presence of troops rendered invasion impossible.

Much alarm and indignation is felt, as the boomers claim that they expected congressional protection and had no idea of being forcibly expelled from the strip. Haggin'B Siring: May. 16. A sensation was caused here to-night by the announcement that J. B.

Haggin, the Californian, had issued orders to withdraw his string of horses from the track here to take them to Latonia. No explanation was offered by him. Haggin has about twenty horses. among them Ben AH, the winner of the Derby, who was to start in the Clarke stake on Thursday. Many theories are advanced in regard to the matter.

Some say he was dissatisfied with the pool arrangements here, while others declare he is afraid for Ben Ali to meet Blue Wing again. Haggin's trainer says that the removal is due to the fact that some of the two-year-old colts are sick, and Haggin wanted them moved to Latonia, so they could go into training as soon as they recovered.

DoXiUTH, May The first league game played between tlio Minneapolis and Duluth clubs at Duluth was played this afternoon, and was witnessed by the largest attendance at the grounds. Fully 2,000 people watched the game, which was not a very good After the first inning the home club had it all its own way.

In the first inning Watson let three men get bases on called balls. In the eight inning O'Donnell made a two-base hit and Pfescott sent a liner to the left field, a line hit, which I brought O'Donnell home. Leggof the home club distinguished himself by catching a hot liner at second base. He also made a base, hit every time he got to bat. The Minneapolis club made a number of errors.

A petition was circulated by number of the local ministers here yesterday, and received a good many signatures, asking Mayor Sutphin to put a stop to Sunday ball playing, but he refused to forbid it, and from the attendance to-day it would seem Sunday games will be very popular here this summer.

The Milwaukees sustained a veritable Waterloo this afternoon at the hands of the Oshkosh ball players. The local club put Cusick in to pitch, and at the opening of the second inning his arm gave out, and he changed places with McCullum, The latter merely tossed the ball over the plate, and the Oshkosh batters had Jots of fun. Five singles and a double, aided by battery errors and an overthrow by McQuaid, gave the Oshkosh men 10 runs ill tie second inning. Then there was a lull in their batting until the sixth inning, when they resumed ting safely, and in the last three innings piled up ten more runs.

Billy Wilson Says He is Willing to Fight Glover. The following bit of sporting news was clipped from the Omaha Herald of May 12: An effort is being made by admirers of pugilistic matches to bring about a fistic encounter between Ike- Glover, the colored heavy-weight of this city, and Billy Wilson, heavy-weight colored champion of St. Paul, Minn. Glover is ready, as he stated to a re! porter for the Heraid last night, to meet Wilson In any way and under any conditions. He is confident he can fight Wilson to a standstill.

Wilson has been living quietly since his great fight Patsy Cardiff last June, but is again anxious to enter the magic circle. If a match is brought about between these two men It should prove rare sport for those who admire fistic encounters. Glover is said to be a good boxer and game fighter, and Wilson's nerve has been sufficiently tested to prove that he will stay to the end. A meeting between the two should makn a rattling fight. i Regarding this Billy Wilson said yesterday: If Cardiff doesn't meet me, or as soon as this match is off, I will be only too glad to meet and accommodate Iko Glover.

While I won't travel over the world to meet nun. will fight him with hard gloves in this territory for any amount ho may name, and you may say in the Globe that ho will hear from me soon. I will fight him for from $250 to $000 and all gate receipts. I have just received a letter from a gentleman named Powell, of Milwaukee, stating that ho wants to make a match for a lightweight, weighing 120 pounds and I want to match Charlie Weber with I hear Cardiff says he is going to give Billy Wilson a licking the first time he meets him. I have only this to Fay: there are no chains nor locks to mo, and let him come ahead.

Please say that this is no newspaper talk, and if he thinks so let him produce his money and I will prove my assertions. I will spar him in any hall for as many rounds as he wishes, Queensberry rules, for all the gate receipts. Then I propose to tackle Glover if he is anxious to fight me." DEinPSEY VS. NORTON.

In regard to the Dempsey-Cardiff match, Dempsey said Cardiff wants to spar a certain number of rounds, and wants 50 percent." of the gate money. I wont meet him on these terms.

I have the wider reputation and will not divide the receipts equally. I would meet him for 75 per or on the condition that all the gate receipts go to the winner. BEADI FOR LEWIS. Muldoon Announces His Address as St. Paul, Minn.

It is highly probable, however, that both matches will be arranged the present week. Patsy Cardiff, who is training at Lake Calhoun lor his match with Jack into Minneapolis again yesterday.
