The nine land offices In Nebraska are doing no business and they ought not to do any , for , In my r-plnlon , It would bo an net of extreme cruelty to tempt agriculturists to take home-iteadu In many portlonn of Ne braska. The Rfeat creator seemed to design that scctlen In Rre.it part for grazlns pur poses , and when the effort was zrude to put them to oilier UJHJS It was a great blow to the otato Itoclf. TheM ! plains and sand hills were the homo of ( he buffalo , and they subsisted an ! grow fat upon the bunch and buffalo grass that Is abundant In that section. The natural habitat of th buffalo can be made with case the home of do mestic cattle , and I think that If this bill ohall paw and there t-liall come wise leslsla- tlon by the state of Nebtaska the result will bo that In a few year * great licrds of cittlo will bo subsisted where few arc now to be found. If this bill Is pen0cntly ! ! and earnestly pressed In both houses , 1 believe It can bo shown to the country that Ne braska , which Is strictly an ngi [ cultural elate , without mineral or timber hnds , will nreally artvincc , and tint her advancement will nttslst tbo progress of the nation at large , " "Are there any other matters of Interest to the people of Nebraska that ate occupy ing your nttcnt'on wlillo here ?

"Yes , a bill has passed the pollute , " sild the general , "Introduced by Senitor Allen , granting right-of-way through the Sac , Fox and Iowa Indian reservations In Kansas and Nebraska. Tliln , whllo of minor Importance , Is of great value to the Burlington road be- cauiw for thrco miles wo arc practically tres passers on the Indian lands , for thf reason that two different rights of way that we have paid the government for have been swept from under us by the Mliuaurl river , nnd tlili bill la for the purpose of permit ting us to buy another right of way for three miles along , the river bluff. This bill Is In the house , and I hope to obtain its pas-age whllo here.

I'ur- iilxlird l r a CINCINNATI. Feb. 1C. The excitement In this city and v'clnlty ' over the atrocious mur der of Pearl Hryan hasr been Intensified by the astounding developments made last night. People had time for reading the pspers to- diy. Feeling tonight Is of the silent but ready sort that portends danger. No out break Is anticipated , and a rraecessful one nould bo out of the question , with the pres ent efficiency of the police and the military. Every other man one meets expresses the opinion tint short work nhould bo made of such men. The people , however , believe In depending on the courts to mcto out justice to the prisoners. H Is now probable that they will be taken to the Covlngton jail , which Is very strongly guarded and well situated to resist a siege. The jail In Newport - port Is nciilc. The detectives have a clew to the surrey that was employed to carry the human tigers and their victim to the rccno of the slaughter. They think they have found the surrey on Walnut Hill , nnd they tre trying to Identify It. The special circumstances that glvo weight to the testimony of Qcurgo H. Jackson , the negro who drove the surrey to Fort Thomas , Is the high name he bcwrs among all his employers. Mr , Rcbstock , a liveryman , for whom he worked four yeaw , said. "Ho Is the best nnd truest all round negro I ever have seen. I own Id trust him with any thing. " Major W. S. Wlddeklnd of McGregor ave nue. Mount Auburn , the negro's present em ployer , says : "George II. Jackson Is highly intelligent , very reticent , has no bad habits , never drinks liquors or uses tobacco. Is com petent , trustworthy and efficient as an em ploye , and Is an active member of Zlon Colored llaptlst church. He taken two dally papers , and Is a man ot more than ordinary intelligence. I have the most complete con fidence In his veracity and Integrity. " JACKSON WAS SILENT. Major Wlddeklnd liao noticed that ho has been unusually silent since the murder , and that he has lost his appetite. Another cir cumstance In his favor Is that there Is an offer of $500 reward for the discovery of the cab driver. George II. Jackson has not made any claim for this reward , nor has he even spoken of It. In his statement last night , ho fuld ho found In the surrey , Instead of a round hitching weight a piece of railroad rail , about a foot long , while waiting for the return of the two men who had gone away with the girl , at the place of the murder. It had two holes through It. A leather strap was fastened to one of the holes ; that he used It for a hitching weight , nnd then ran away as fast as ho could run. Right hero Is the point In the chain of the clrcumrtauccs. It wns jurt precisely a piece of railroad Iron that was wrapped up In Jackson's bloody coat when It wau fished out of a sewer catch bariti at the corner of John and Richmond streets eaveral days ago. What emphasizes this evidence IB the fact of his coat being wrapped around a piece of railroad Iron has never been mentioned In the newspapers. Another circumstance that supports George H , Jackson's story that the conveyance used was a surrey , and that George H. Jackson abandoned It In fright on the tragic night io the fact that a gentleman of Newport , driv ing toward Fort Thomas on that Saturday - morning , nt 3 o CIOCK , inei a. turicj ura-nu by a. gray horse , with two men on the front scat nnd collided with It. He- got out - and the men In the surrey drove on toward Newport at a furious rate. This man's name Is not given , but ho will be on hand when required a a witness. AT TUB SCENE OF CRIME. To clinch the matter , a procession of car riages , containing policemen and reporters , started at 1 o'clock to Fort Thomas last night. George H. Jackson drove the leadIng - Ing carriage. The procession struck the murderers route at Vine and Third streets , and with George H. Ja'ckson for a guide , fol lowed It to the bloody ground. , A halt was made at the Newport bridge to oeek another link in the awful chain that hinds these men to the guilt of Pearl Bryan's murder. Toll Collector Tarvln said he remembered the surrey driven by a. colored man passing over the bridge about 1 o'clock on the mornIng - Ing of February 1. It contained , a man and a woman , and there was a white man with the negro driver on the seat. The procession was led by George Jackson through unfrequented back streets In New port and by a long circuitous route of mud roads , in the darkness under a cloudy sky and finally Into the Alexandria pike , near Fort Thomas. After driving a short dis tance , George H. Jackn stopped just where a blind lane set out from the road and stopped. "Here. " said he , "Is where they took the lady , telling me to turn the carriage around and wait. " Jackson has not been to the pceae of the murder slnco It "was committed. Where hp stopped In the darkness last night was about 200 yards from the spot where Pearl Bryan was found dead on the morning of Feb- ruury A * REPEATED THE STORY. George Jackson is a man of few words. Here on the spot where the too confiding girl was led to her cruel death and at about the samn gloomy hour of that tragedy , the colored man repeated his story of the events of that fatal night. There was a dramatic reallum In the simple unaffected recital that moved nil present as no counterfeit pro- snntatlon on the stage can move men. The settings of the iscono aided In its effect. When tbo npgro dewribed the strange no'se and the sounds of a scuffle In the leaves nnd liuehea along with hla own Midden fright and flight , the bystanders shuddered and almost Imagined they could hear the rustle of the struggle of Pearl Bryan for her life. The route to Fort Thomas was about five miles out by the Licking pike and then by dim country roads to the Alexandria pike. It was nbout twice as far an the drive to the fort by the nearest route. The examina tion of the twenty or thirty men In a semi circle at the jail last night by Jackson was dramatic In the extreme. Walling stood near ono extremity of the arc. The negro began hlb Inspection at Waiting's end of the line. Ho examined everyone , man by man , till ho got to the end of the line. Then he turned , walked briskly back and hatted In front of Walling. All this fine he had net spoken a word. Viewing Walling all around , Ilko a man examining a horse , he was about to buy , ho stepped lu front ot him and said : POINTED OUT THE MURDERER. "That lit the man that eat on the seat In front with me , " There would have been an outburst of cheers had not the proprieties of the place and the occasion forbidden. Jackson was Identified aa to site and partially as to the sound of his voice. The negro's extreme caution glios force to his evidence. Be ealil : "I don't want fo make any mis take , " and then he look liU time in mak ing the examination. Murderer Jackoau , when the thing was over , talked flippantly to his visitors , To ono ho said ; "Call the jailer and ask him if he found u euriey in my pockets when ho searched me. " He tries to ridicule the mul titudes of clues that are followed. Walling Is more tmllon and ictlcent. He denounces the negro's statement as a lie. The people admitted to see thu prisoners number hun dreds a day , end for one admitted , hundreds nre denied admittance. Dttortlves Crim and McDermott tonight discovered a rorkawoy and a gray horse In the stable of the Walnut Hill Cable company , which WAS hired out between 4 and 7 p. in.

President Mullen of the rah com pany siya the man nho hired It was about the size and general appearance of Wulllng mitl he thought had a dark complexion.

He tails to Identify the rockaway , but s ys It might b ? made to look Ilko a surrey by using storm curtains. ncorge II , Jackson was placed At the tiorttr- wcst corner of George and Elm streets n few minutes after 11 o'clock nnd the one- seatel rockiway cab , win ths grey hcrsf , was driven down Elm street to the spat. After n further look at the cab , he s'ald : "I am sure It Is the sime one. " He was Informed - formed of the reports of hla alligcd em bezzlement from Springfield nnd said : "If I weic an embezrlor In the United Drethrcn In Frlcndihlp I would have ippmred on tli ? quarterly black list. I am not'on that list. " He pronounces the whole story false. FRANKFORT , Ky. . Feb. 16.

( Special. ) The Southern Cnss and Northern Otoc County Farmers' Institute was called to order In this place by J. M. Stone , chair man , February 13 and continued until the night of the 14tli. There was a large at tendance at every session and that there was great Interest was evident from the hrgo number ot questions asked the different speakers. The first address was by E. F. Stevens , president of the State Horticultural i-oclety , and the subject wns tree planting. The most nr-cessary thing In tree planting was moisture. If thcro was plenty of mois ture apples would not drop In the fall. By the use ot testing apparatus it was found tlint corn could not use over sixteen Inches of moisture In a sraeon , but fruit trees re quired more. Continual stirring was tho' best mulch. Subsolllng saved SS per cent of the moisture. Put all windbreaks on the scutli. Mrs. George Sheldon's paper , "The Old Woinan , " proved that the old and new woman were the same under the same circumstances ; that U there ever was a "new woman" It would be man's fault. "Tree Growing , " by Isaac Pollard , gave his own experience in the business. Get a straight tree , no forks , dig a big hole and plant same depth as In nursery. Pine trees can be raised as early as any other kind. Trees are Intelligent and respond to kind treatment , and show their thanks by their looks. B. W. Bates , In nn address on "Seed Growing , " opposed the government distri bution of seeds. Ho thought that all seeds should be grown by practical men and tested before they are sent out. .Lawson Sheldon , In an address , "What I Don't Know About Farming , " said he had planted corn and potatoes deep , and shal low , and had tended alike , and no theory had held good ; and he was forced to admit that he didn't knov anything about farm ing. George F. Swltzer read a paper entitled , "Tha Boys of Today Are the Men of To morrow , " giving his Ideas as to the education of bays and formation of their character. The concluding address of the first day was by Mrs. M. A. Waklln ot Brock on the "Economy of Time. " The advanced woman must have things convenient ; she must have a hammer and drive her own nails ; she must have her own hatchet and cut off the chickens' heads herself , and by the proper education of her children when they ore. small rlie can save time for herself when she is old. The second day opened with -an address on "Poultry Growing" by S. P. Harris of Lincoln. He sild that money could be made In the poultry business by selecting the right kind of breeds and paying strict at tention to business. Dr. Pollard then presented a brilliant paper entitled ' , 'The Scattering. " . Miss Lottie. Pollard read a , paper , "Tjie , Now Woman , " showing the avenue of busi ness and the professions that" have beih opened to women in the last few years Save neither tinscxed them nor made them any the less good wives and mothers. The "Beauties of Nature , " by B. Wolph , waa the most brilliant p-iper read. C. H. Elmendorf addressed the institute on the subject of "Beef Cattle Raising. " We must study surrounding conditions. We must find the best way to market our crop. This Is done by raising only the best cat tle and hogs , the higher bred the better , B. A. Klrkpatrlck followed with "A Ne- hawka Gold Mine. " L. G.

Crltchfleld he discovered two sus picious looking characters trying to gain an entrance. He Informed the sheriff and marshal , who were quickly on the ground. They chased the two suspects about 100 rods cast ot town , finally coming up with them. One of them was carrying a satchel. The marshal ordered them to hold up their hands , but Instead they took to their heels. The officers fired several shots at them , which were returned by the men as they ran across a corn field to the Union Pacific track , whore all trace of them was lout. Ths satchel , which was left In their flight , contained a set of burglar tools , some clothIng - Ing , dynamite caps and a bottle of nitro glycerine. An attempt was made to ex plode the glycerine thla morning by placing It in the creek and firing at It with revolvers. When the explosion took place Enoch Koskoy was quite severely injured In the head by a chunk of frozen earth tlironn from the creek bod. So severe was the concussion that window lights were broken In the vi cinity. Three SuciM'Mifiil IlnllH. CHADRON , Neb. , Feb. 16.

The only newspaper In this country In 1701 , which continued for fifteen years without a rival on the continent , was ; half-sheet , 12 Inches by 8lth two columns to each page. Within thla restricted space , writes Henry King In the Globe-Democrat , the cJltor pro posed not only to print tbo new * , bat nl o to furnish a medium of advertising. "All perssns , " ho gave notice , "who have houses , lands , farms , tenements , ships , goods , wares , merchandise , etc. , etc. , to be sold or lot , or servants run away , or goods stole or lost , may have them Inserted at a reasonable rats from 2 pence to G shillings. " His advertis ing "patronage turned out to bo even smaller , however , than the cwmpod capacity of his paper , being confined mainly to offers of re ward for the return of fugitive servants. The merchants did not Improve the opportunity thus presented for Increasing their trade ; bargains In real estito were not proclaimed through that channel ; and In a general way thcro was no disposition to use the ncus- papcr for business purposes. But as tlmo passed a gradual change ensued In. this re spect , An advertising tendency was dcvel- ojied among those who bad things to sell and those who liked to see their names In print ; and It also became In some measure a point of public spirit and an Impulse of benevolence to contribute In that way to the support of the newspapers , regardless of the question of pcrcnnal advantage. There are many facts of Interest In the ad vertisements of those early times , and a book might be written from them that would bo moro readable , If not also more valuable , than the ordinary history. They arc. In fact , a legitimate part of history In Its full and proper sense. If all other records should be blotted out , there would still remain In tlic-o neglected evidences sufficient Information for the construction of a comparatively satisfac tory account of the llfo of the period and the general aspect of affairs. Take n Now York paper of 1775 , for Instance , and you will find In Its advertisements alone on accurate re flection of the conditions that then existed In all Important relations. Ono of them states that "tho committee of Inspection , having examined Into the charges that James Duudas and Peter Shaw have spoken with contempt of the honorable congress and Its officers , do find them guilty , and held them up to public view as enemies of liberty , and urge all good citizens to abstain from any dealing with them. " The offenders were boycotted , that Is to say ; and a third one , fearing the 1093 of his trade Iby , . the same process , "humbly acknowledges trMt he has spoken disrespect fully of tli'e { honorable continental congress , and begs fdrglvcnooi of It and of bis country , promising ubnisslon ) thereto. " In all ofi tlmladvertlsements of the mer chants at tthat time the troubles of the country are referred to , and prompt pay ment of debts Is urged to avert the danger of bankruptcy. The editor himself la an ad vertiser torthlsj effect , saying that If his delinquent patrons do not pay up he , will ba obliged to stop printing the paper in a few weeks ; and In .another place , to mend his fortunes , Ije' offers emptyInk - bottles for sale at a low price. A woinan advertising a package of black mitts , plna and a cap , lost on the ferry , i''hopes ' that no person , at a time like this , will be so lost to reason as to unlawfully detain them. " There IB a notice that" "the- new stage coaches plying between N/pw. / .

" The "monthly assize of bread" Is also advertised , fixing the price of "one loaf of finest wheat flour , one pound eleven and one-half ounces , at 4 coppers. 'The price of flour Is quoted "at G shillings , .beef C5 shillings and beeswax < shillings , while the price of "India tea" la' set at "Liberty and property. " Other curious and significant thing * might bo cited from the advertisements of this cp.9 paper , all serving to convey a distinct Impression of the general situation. A pap r published at Philadelphia for the week preceding that In which the Declara tion of Independence was adopted contains the advertisements of a number of mer chants who are anxious to s&ll out at cost , In anticipation of the coming of a hostile army. One offers a large stock of crockery , Including many articles that would now bo worth more ( ban their weight In gold , as relics of obsolete forms of manufacture. Another advertises "Huasla drillings and linens , osnaburghs and sail cloths , cinnamon and a ) few pieces of silk ; " and another calls attention to his assortment of "duffles and taffetas" that must be sold at any sacrifice. An English servant girl , having two years to serve , and described as "handy , apprehen sive and honest , " Is advertised for sale to some one living outside of the city. A gen tleman lately from London wishes to teach drawing In water colors ; a schoolmaster Is wanted In Maryland at 130 a year , and the loser of a silver watch says "sho bad a black ribbon to her brass key ai'd a ooal In the shape of a compass. " The best green tea Is advertised at 32 shillings C pence a pound , and coarse salt nt 7 shillings C pence a pound , Rewards are offered for deserters from the army ; military books and accouterments - ments , Including swords with various patriotic mottoes on them , are advertised ; and there are numerous announcements re lating to changes 'of buslnesa on account of the war. The advertisements In a New York paper of a hundred years ago are quite as Interest ing and Instructive as the moro pretentious annals of that period. They tell all about tbo dally activities and Interest of the people ple , the methods of business , the means of progress , the sources of happiness * . The governor of the state at that tlmo was John Jay , who bad recently negotiated the great treaty which bears his name ; James Kent , author of the celebrated "CommenUr- ries on American Law , " was city recorder ; Noah Webster , of dictionary fame , was editing one of the papers ; John Jacob Astor was laying the foundations of his Irninem-e fortune. There were then only about CO.OOO people In the city , Including some 3,000 negro slaves. The municipal expenditures aggre gated only $139,000 a year.

There wag hut one Cath olic church Jn th , place , and the whole num ber of churches or all denominations was only twenty , as against 550 at the present tlmo.

These cltim6ns'4go to show how much may be learned 'frota' ' ' the newspaper advertise ments of a ( line * when that medium of com munication imd , pot vet coma into general uso. The trio. ( . Value of thla potent factor In the affairs of society Is a comparatively re cent dlicoverrfBr. more properly speaking , It Is only -nltUIn late yeara that the process of evolution liJV\ made the fact plain that advertising ls profitable , and that the trader who neglects It' Is placed at a disadvantage. There Is no longer any room for controversy upon the subject. Tiio Irrefutable logic of ex perience has settled the question , and money Is now applied In that uay without any doubt about the practical wisdom of the proceed ing. According to tbo latest olllclal statistics , the expenditures for advertising in the news paper * of the United States amount to $71- $ 243,000 a year. This large sum Is not invested In a haphazard fashion , but with close cal culation and discrimination. The matter Is studied In all of Its relations , and skilled knowledge Is brought to bear upon the ad justment of circumstances to positive and re munerative results. That Is to say , the man who pays out money for advertising expects to derive a palpable benefit from It. Ho counts It a part of lila legitimate expenses , like store rent and clerk hire , and seeks to E'O regulate It that lie cati see the result In actual dollars and cents. A comparison between the advertisements ! of papt times and those of the present day shows at a glince the remarkable change that lias tikm place Jn the appreciation of this method of promoting business and Increasing propporlty. Formerly they were rf a common place nnd monotonous order , and frequently trtood unchanged for a year ; now they are bright , IngonloiiD and new every day. They arj written and arianged with view to In fluencing the popular mind , and no other form of current literature represents a boiler understanding of human nature. An adver tisement Is vorthlcw. of course. If It docs not Intetest Hiul persuade those l < nbom It Is addressed , U mui > t frtrtce the average tiilel- llgonco of the community In a plcviMint nay. or It will not j.ay , nnd ro ths advertiser avails himself of e\rry expedient to make his INCH- sages attracthe. HP Is quick to detect the fluctuations of popular thought and feeling , and to litlllre them as acrcp-ijrlea of his on to ; prise , tils finger Is constantly upon the popular pulp-j , and Ills advertisements nro so constructed an to suit tbu prevailing mood or raprlce. He < : lmi > to associate bU name nnd business with the things that every body Is talking about , Ills succor de- tends , as he knows , upon his ability to keep his private concerns In the current of general conversation and Inclination , and he misses no opportunity cf that kind. Thus the advertising1 columns of a dally newspaper become a history of society In those respects which Imply Information as to the successive sentiments and proclivities of the masses. We can read In them the continuous story of material civilization not only , but also of Intellectual effort and diversion , the variations of taste , the Intro duction of new opinions and Inspirations and the shifting of points of view and plans of endeavor. They tell us all about the dress , the diet , tbo Industries , the amuse ments of the people. The things advertised are the things most Illustrative of ordinary life , the things of first Importance In the work of acquiring correct knowledge of the conditions of Foclfty at a given tlmo In a given locality. They enable us to see what Tfllno calls "the living man , tolling , Im- rarsloncd , Intrenched In his customs , " and he la the principal /act In the case after nil. Tlio records mat omit tliwe ueiaua nre not trustworthy , because they are not complete. It Is easy to conceive Jhat a pass or advertisements may bo worth more In point of exact and comprehensive Information mation as to a country and Its Institutions than long and profound accounts of Its legis lation and diplomacy. In the one Instance we get simple , practical , unmistakable tacts , and In the other we get an ounce of such matter to a pound ot tiresome and useless pedantry. U requires but little effort of the Imagina tion to nnd In newspaper advertisements all the elements of comedy and tragedy that make up the tangled skein of life , the threads of human experience and destiny , in 11 thi > world at all times. There Is much more signified by these many state ments of personal Interests and situations than we nre able to think , unless wo stop to analyze them and read between the lines. When we consider the extent and variety of such messages , it 1 $ easy to understand that they must Involve n cre.it deal of anxiety , of romance , of vicissitude. They pertain to everything that can bo supposed to touch the matter of living. There Is no object , HO wish , ho tendency that Is without ex pression In them. They constitute a sort of whispering gallery through which all daises make known the thoughts that are uppermost In the collective mind of the community. We may treat them with Indifference If we arc so disposed , but the fact remains that they have an Important meaning , and that wo cannot afford to disregard them In their relation to the general scheme of civilization. They are Infused with the essence of his tory , and the Influences for which they stand cannot be put out of Bight by lightly ig noring them , whatever we may think about their Inferiority to the considerations upon which the historians place exclusive em phasis. Some years ago a distinguished scholar wrote a learned address on journalism , in which he appealed to the newspapers to shut out all advertisements and publish only news and special literature. The Idea was laughed at , ns lie mignt nave cxpecieu u would be , and the laughing was not all done by those who wera thus asked to relinquish a half of their Income for the philanthropic purpose of elevating the standard of jour nalism. A majority of the patrons of the papers Joined In ridiculing a proposition that Implied the suppression of a most interesting and useful fund of Information. There are as many papers bought for their advertise ments as for their other contents. The pages that arc filled with business announce ments appeal to all persons who do any sort of trading , or dealro any form of employ ment , or wish to make any kind of an In vestment , and the list of such persons Is so large that the rest are hardly worth con sidering. Jt Is not for the few who never read advertisements that the newspapers are published , but for the numerous men and women who are engaged In the practical work of life and who need just such facts as the advertiser ! ) furnish facts that come directly home to them and help them In ways that have a vital bearing upon their plans of prosperity and happiness. This Is on age of advertising and It Is foolish to decry a process that has become a well recognized business necessity. The man who seeks customers for any kind of merchandise must do so through the news papers , or ho will not secure them. There Is no other effective way to bring buyer and seller together , because the buyer never looks beyond the newspaper for reasons why ho should give his patronage to a par ticular seller , Jt Is claimed , to be sure , that advertisements are < not always candid nnd reliable , but this 1 only saying that there are alwayo some tricksters In trade. As a general rule advertisers are honest , and the exceptions are soon found out. It Is not to the Interest of any reputable firm or cor poration to misrepresent its wares or to practice any klnfl of deception In Its business methods. The advcrtlsempntfl that pay are thos that carry with them an assurance that they mean what they fay , nnd do not conceal a possible Insincerity. When that quality Is lacking nothing else can supply Its place , and the result is a forfeiture of public confidence and a loss rather than a gain of customers' The people who read an advertisement want to know that they can take the advertiser at his word. That is the main thing. Therefore , falsehood' or duplicity In advertising Is a fatal blunder , and all first-class houses strictly avoid It , both as a duty to their patrons and as an advantage to themselves. for SloriIloiuld. .

Thcro will be no ftglit tomorrow , that much is certain , no matter what comes latter In the week , Peter's eyes arertlll Improving , but ho will bo In no condition to enter the ring tomor row. Julian will no doubt claim the forfeit , but he declined to exprcig any opinion as to what he would do. Buck Connolly came In from the Jlahor camp nt Las Cruces today to attend the conference arrangsd be tween Julian and himself. His train wna late , ban ever , and Julian. In common with every one , waa at the bull fight In Juarez. Later In the day Connolly met htm and asked him to agree to a poatpanemcnt till Friday. Julian would agree to nothing. Connolly then asked him to como over to El I'.iio and hold a conference tonight. Julian had friends Invited to dinner and would bs late. Ho , therefore , reluctantly de clined Connolly's kind Invitation to confer. Some more talk ensued , but no agreement was reached. Julian promised to come over to E | Pnro at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning and raid that ho would then decide upon his plan of action. Ho then demanded that Mnhor bo brought In from Las Cruces nnd that ho submit to another examination. Ho Is somewhat fearful that Maher'a cyoa may bo gutting better more rapidly than reported by lil frlcmip , and that he will work In several days conditioning between now nnd Friday. Connolly objected strongly to bringing Maher to the city , but finally ( < ald he would do so If It was absolutely necessary. necessary.MAHER MAHER CANNOT FIGHT. "Maher simply cannot fight Monday , " Bald Connolly. "Ills eyes are better , but he Is not able to endure a strong light , let alone the glare of the sun. I told Julian that It would be of no use for hint to claim a forfeit , for If he attempted It I would have Peter nt the ringside and prevent htm from getting the money. He cannot get any forfeit If Maher appears at the ringside. The articles say that forfeit can only be claimed If one of the men falls to appear. They do not say that a man must fight In order to prevent the payment of the forfeit. If I have my man at the rlngpldo there Is no show for Julian to get any forfeit nnd I tell you he will not get IL Wo will take Maher to the ring , blind aa he is , and then refuse to fight If Julian Insists on claiming the forfeit , he will have appeared at the ringside and ful filled all conditions for the violation of which any forfeit can be claimed. What good is it going to do Julian to claim anything ? " Connollys said that he would positively re fuse to allow Maher to enter the ring In his present condition or until his eyes are well. "I would not let him step Into that ring for $10,000. He has -no earthy how to win as things are now and all the men all over the country who have bet money on Mnhor would loc. They would blame me , and justly so , for the loss of their money. Maher will not fight until he has a chance to win , no matter what It costs me personally. I am sure that he will be able to win by Friday and I want to win by Friday. What Julian and Fitzslm- mons will do I cannot tell. " VERY MUCH DISGUSTED. Julian and Fltzslmmons are much dis gusted over the outlook , nnd have no hesi tancy In expressing their opinions. They claim to * have been rea'dy' at any tlmo dur ing the past month and that the other side has not. They have engagements In the east for the latter part of February , and ask to keep them. Whatever is the outcome of the conference tomorrow there is cer tain to be a warm time while It lasts. Stuart's confidence Is still supremo. He Is doing no talking these days , but simply re plies to all question : ! : "I am ready to pull off the fight any time , and the sooner the men get together the batter I will bo pleased. " Tbe managers of the fight nro confronted with a new obstacle. Tlio portion of the purses subscribed by the citizens ot El Paso expires by limitation tomorrow If the fight Is not off by that tlmo. some of the sub scriptions are unpaid and the chances arc now that they will never be. Nearly all of the prize fighters went over to Juarez this afternoon to attend tbo bull flghty. Four horses worth about $3 each were gored to death. Four bulls were tortured and slain and the arena was covered with blood. The Mexicans , as usual , howled with delight at the spectacle of a horse being ripped open , but the fighters came back disgusted to the last degree. Fltzslmmons , Leeds , Barry , Walcott , Everbardt and Dlxon were there , and all of them are still trying to figure out how a people who can tolerate the olckenlng sight of the bull pen can object to prize fighting with gloves. TOO HOT FOR THE PUGS. "Fighting Is golf to this blootnl'ig , biccdy thing , " remarked Ktzslmmons ( In wrath after he- had seen the third bull butchered , There are very few sporting men left In El Paso now. Al Smith , Jimmy Wakcly and a tow others are at Hot Springs , thirty- six miles away. The majority of the others have gone home. All the small fights have been declared off. There never has been strong probability that they would be pulled off and Barry and Dlxon stoppsd work this morning. There was for a time a chance of the Everhaidt- Lecda match being brought nbout , but the management refused to take chances on giving away the secret of their battle gioun.l and everybody agrees that one fight will be the limit , as only one can bo liad. it was decided that the big one should stand and the others went by the hoard accord ingly. The management will pay all forfeits on the smaller fights , | 2i > 0 to each man and the fighters areat liberty to go homo us soon as they like. The Olympic club of New Orleans lias wired Captain Glorl , backer of Horace Leeds , asking If he will consent to have Ills man meet Everhardt In that city. If the ill-tails arc satisfactory , the fight will be .ura-.i oU. Everhardl has been slack In training for tevoral days and Is now much ovRrwolght. Glrrl was for a time dispose ] to claim for feit for Leeds , but finally let It go. Stuirt raid tonight thnt the whole matter of the big fight now binges on Julian and Ccn- nelly and that they must settle between themselves as to what disposition will bo made of the big fight. He Is willing to carry out his plans and bring off tbo light it the others come1 to terms. O'llourke for Walcott and Kenny for "Ilrlght Eyes" tonight agreed to bring off their match between their men at the Len nox club. New York , on March 8 , for the gate receipts. The Barry and Murphy match will take place at the tarno place In the same month , and probably on the same date. If negotiations' pending with New Orleans do not materialize , Everhardt and Lods will fight at Maspeth , L. I. , In March.

Double alley Is atl'.l known as Paradise alley. 11 Is known n-\ such to Clilmmlo Fadden , for example , nut It does not smell frugiunt to him oven under thnt nnmo. Paradise alley is one of thn offshoots from Cherry street , between Franklin square and Uopsovolt street. Cherry street IN Indented with acvorul n'.leys running to the well- wnnl. As to Cherry street It p-lf , In the early days It wns a country Inne called "the rond. by the cherry trees , " because these trees Brow along Its border. A famous garden , known ns the Chprrv Oardon , wns kept hereby by an KngllRhmnn , Ulchnrd Bnckct , nnd was much frequented by the Anglo-Saxons , who , in IfiGI. had assumed forcible possiiwlon of Manhattan IMnnd nnd made New Amster dam over into New York. Indeed , until another Keneratlon had risen nnd the bltter- ress of foreign connuest wns n litre forgot ten , Cherry Garden > vas abandoned to them entirely. Dutch merry making and patriotism , on a basis of Fdinapps , were carried on ut Wol- fert Webber's rival establishment , over on what Is now Chatham square , while at Cherry Garden the dominant Kngllfh were gay In their own language and drank toasts to Qucon Anne and to thp first of the GeoructF In their own favorite Weil Indian ru in. Finally , when the city surprised Itself by extending Into this sccno of seml-riuul fcs. tlvltles. and when houses began to rls-e on the old lane , It came to bo known us Cherry street , lly this tlmo the Dutch and their conquerors had grown to be one people and nau snnKen OIL me yoKe ot uiiKianu. wnoso blood commingled with that of Holland In the veins of the Now Yoikcr.

But n the city spread norlhwnrd the older families went with It , until at last such well nigh po'ar extremities as Bond street and Lafayette place nnd Washington square gathered up the wraith and fashion of the oltv. During all this period of transition Cherry street wna gradually losing nil social prestige. Hut It still remained respectable. It was given up to the poorer , but n'.so the more In- duetrloiis clann cf Irish emigrants.
