All soon bo over. Next Wednesday's sur

victor and victim. Who will bo which o
which will bo who still remains the opaqui
Hccrct It has been over nlnco the grea
match was mado. All that la left ( or ui
to do Is to continue our speculation. Whlli
wo cannot liopo to ( settle the matter , It Is ai
Innocent amusement and helps pass thi
ttmo away. Within tbo luster ot the cat
clum light that has bricii turned on durliif
the past week let us once moro look ovei
the situation and by process ot ratloclna
tlon "try out" the men. LUtlo tntormatlai
1 to be derived from the partisan fairy talc ;
that emanate from the bivouacs of Fltzslm
mons or Corbt'tt. These stories , In a pre
] } ondcratlng measure , arc , as the sunny phll
osopher , Murcutlo , Bald of dreainp , but "chll
dreti of an Idle brain begot oC nothing bu
vain fantaBy. " And It Is of these "plpi
romances" the claquers speak when the ;
wrlto of Corbott's outrunning the bos
horsca In Caruon for distances of ten am
twelve miles , of tossing tbo husky wrestler
McVey , around as If be was nothing but i
big sponge , knocking Jeffreys and Wood
about the premises just as a tltanothcrlun
robtistiim WAS supposed to toy with a toai
4Q.OOO years ago , beating the champion ham
ball players , the expert shooters
licnvy weight lifters and a thousam
and ono other things that no mor
tal man Is exuected to or can da
Still Jim docs all these things without cvci
turning a hnlr or quickening a breath. In
deed , If these laundry patrons nra to be be
lloved Corbott could beat the champion Bal
tlmoros In a game of 'baso ' ball alone am
single-handed. Ho could make Berne ;
Wcfcrs look like a hitching pos
In a 100-yard sprint , kick a foot ball fron
Schenectady to Troy , jump over the Now
York Life building without weights , hold hli
breath for twenty-four hours , or dam Nlagan
with no other material than his nerve. Am
then , aside ifrom all this , ho romps over tin
hllla and far away , out there In Nevada , jus
like a school boy out at recess. The claesl
literature- that wells up from Fltz's tralnlni
foundry , while often ridiculous and amusing
la mild , Indeed , as compared with the vapor
ings from Shaw's Springs. Ho has ai
occasional fierce fight with his big dog
Yarrum , and now and then runs down a pli
or two , but that Is about all there Is sensa
tlonal In his manner of physical culture. iH
has not yet knocked out four or ( live ot hi
trainers In a slnglo afternoon , neither doe
ho fight a man shut up In an Iron crate
Robert Is evidently husbanding all his re
sources for the grand climax on "St Patrick" :
Day In the Morning , " when ho hopes t
demonstrate tliat Corbett Is not the super
human , creature a lot of fawning spot-tins
chroniclers Woutd'-havo ' us bultevo bo Is.
However , there Is but little doubt but wha
both men are In most excellent condition
and It Is to bo ardently hoped that Is th
case , for men who will travel thousands o
in I lea and gtvo up hundreds of dollars t
jco the affair do not want a punch to settl
the matter , but want to witness a contes
between two evenly matched and thoroughly
prepared gladiators. Wo know that Corbett
at himself , has no peer as a boxer , but thai
ho cannot bo hit Is the sheerest Idiocy. AI
these who watched that little dirty alTal
down In the allegator districts three year
ago and saw Charlie Mitchell plug th
California ! ! In the nose and rap him In th
short ribs know that all this alleged In
vulnerability of Jim's Is rot pure and simple
His trainers cannot land on him because the ;
are probably following Instructions. Am
the Idea of wrapping such a big tough mtcl
as Billy Woods up In pneumatic protectors
to keep Corbett from killing him while spar
ring together la enough to make a clothes
liorso "laugh. But over since Corbet !
whipped John L. ho has lived on this stufl
While ho Is coarse and 111-temperei
himself , ho Is as fond of ad
ulatlon and praise as a nigger IB ot water
melon. It Is different with the lanky Zulu
Ho doesn't care the snap ot his lingers to
flowers , and Is as unimpressionable to flatter
as a wooden Indian. Ho gets his consolatto
out ofo 'act that ho Is a prize lighter , an
his onp ambition Just now Is to convince Jlr
Corbett of thl fact. That both men thlni
they hold the winning hand I have not th
. .slightest doubt , neither have I that Pltz
slmmona' eagerness for the battle Is of
morn genuine nature than that of Corbet !
The latter requires too much bolstering u
from his big retinue of attendants , Is to
fond of personal aggrandizement , Is to
querulous and fidgety , and 1ms whlppe
Kltzslmmont. too often and too sevsrely will

you all know what that Is , dimply nothing

was not even dlgnllled with the title of \
draw , but was called a "no contest , " slmpl ;

wore out stale old Sully In twenty-on

feat In thrco. We'll not say anything abou
the SlmiUoy affair. And there you arc
Flttalinnmns , the world knows to bo a grea
lighter. Hu cares nothing for fancy sparring
but liau made lib Incomparable record b ;
hard knocks In the ling , and It would seen
that he would bo picked as the winner , bu
ho Is not , that Is , by u lot of Individuals win

fact fa , hovVsver , these smart betting gentle
mou are no wiser than you or I , and as ye
I have failed to discover where AI Smith o
Daly or Dwycr liavn mudo a single swell be
at any kind of odda. They all profess ,
willingness to put up fortunes , but comohov
or other they do not ueom able to get It up
notwithstanding there Is any quantity o
FltzslmmoiiH money begging to go agalus
the alleged prevailing odds. Llko Pareoi
Davles , notwithstanding the provisos am
qualifications which outer Into the caao ,
think Corbett will win if he is what the ;
eay ho In now , hut I cannot wholly make u ;
my mind that title la so. llovover , I wll

must not be one notch lower than ho Is no ;
gauged at. If ha Is It 1s , Kitty , bar the dooi
because It will certainly require just nuc'
a phenomenon to lay the crlmson-halre
champion high and dry upon the dock. I
Fttz can land ho can win. H he can't I
would be foolish to expect htm to tire Cor
bett to death , although that Is not fo Ini
probable an It might seem. Sharkey ha
his noblcts ready to filvo up from shce
cnnul and Deb may provo just as tough
nut as the man-bcforo-the-mast was.
The appearance of the two men In the rln
Is entirely dissimilar. Fltz leaves his chal
with a sort of a shuffle and a shamble , like
camel going to water , and ho actually look
humoroun. Hut after the handshake there I
a marvelous scene of prestidigitation. Th
long , slender legs sprawl well apart , th
huge torso Is drawn down and the little nu
sinks as In a socket between his tw
hugo and protective shoulders. Ho rest
easy , but not gracefully , upon his Indl
rubber heel and hla long left sticks out hlg
In the lead , his dangerous right moving In
slow but calculating tort ot a way , and hi
whole being breathing with the lust fo
blood that la upon him. He Is not as goo
to look at as Corbott In fighting attitude , bu
Is plenty good enough to keep away fron
Corbett , too , spreads considerably , but la
plcturo ot grace In action , hU left Is ben
moro than is ordinary at the elbow and hi
right rrets Immobile high up on his breas
In guard. Hla big head Is tossed back Ilk
a running stag's , his vlsago palo as dealt
teeth clinched and small eye
a-gllttcr , and In this respect I
no moro prepossessing than his rudd
rival. On his feet Corbett Is the Ideal c
apoed , he bores In like a steel shaft an
handles that left ot his llko a dynamlt
cartridge. And this Is all. The public no' '
have my permission to get out their chemical
and analyze the two men for themselves ,
have no objection to any one naming th
winner and If there la any ono who has don
this to a certainty I hereby authorize hli
to put $10,000 on the man for mo.
Now , what rot Is this about Referee Slier' '
Interpreting the Queensberry rules. There I
not a fighter with a gob of gray matter I
his noddle but knows them by heart. The
could not be more simple , and require non
of Sllcr's tampering. They ca'll for a fall
etand-up fight , were devlssd for amateur
and are In every way fair and equitable ,
have always , claimed that , ono hand free ,
contestant has a perfect right to use It fc
punching purposes alone. But I do not a ]
provo ot hitting on a breakaway. Tlia rule
specifically etato that there shall bo n
hugging or wrestling , but the clause I
practically a dead one. When two men thro' '
their arms around each other and hang o
llko a leach to a sere cyo they are buggln *
That Is allowed universally. Hut In such
fix , on a breakaway , ono or the other I
at a big disadvantage. Men should be mad
to break clean. In case of a knockdown , th
knocker should bo required to step back an
wait until the knockeo Is square upon hi
feet and again ready for action. As to th
dlytanco ho steps back , Is something tht
cannot bo regulated , unless the referee arm
himself with a tape measure. If a prtnclp ;
hits on a breakaway Isn't It Just as easy t
decide against him on a foul as tt Is If one c
his seconds dashes cold water on his back
If hitting thus [ 9 foul , why Isn't It just a
easily enforced as It Is to require them t
live up to any of the other specification !
Illght-mtnded referees give technical foul
no consideration , so why dlscues that wit
fighter or public. Mr. Slier has no right t
announce how he will rule , unices said rulin
Is In strict accordance with the letter of th
law. The promulgation of tbls business Is 1
bad taste and liable to cause serious dlsaer
slon. Slier may rely upon It , It either on
of the principals agree to abide by any c
his new-fangled Interpretations of the rul :
the other will object. The Queensberry rule
have stood the test better than any set (
athletic rules I can think of , and had belt :
be left alone , anyway until after this flgh
The victory of Sam Kelly , the big llttl
Now York bantam , over Billy Plimmer , th
premier across the ditch , In Lunnun th
other night was no very great surprlsi
especially on this side. These who have bee
keeping tab on tbo Gotham boy felt thath ,
was apt to give even the best of the feathfet
a close run for thelpmoney. Ho Is a masslv
llttlo fellow and can hit like a mule kick !
but Is not remarkably fast , while , on th
other hand , so far as electrical speed I
concerned , the little Briton Is a verltabl
miniature edition of Jim Oorbett. Ho was th
first man to got a decision over George DIxo
In a limited round affair since Dlxon has wo
the ermine of the king , and , until Pedclla
Palmer put the kibosh on him , wa.3 consldere
Invincible. I met Plimmer down at Jackson
vlllo during the Corbett-Mltchell excltemenj
ami found him to be a genial , gentleman !
llttlo fellow , several removes from the core
mon Ilk. His defeat by Kelly will break hi
heart , particularly so after he had victor
all but clinched. Clear up to the nlneteent
round ho had gone round Sammy like Susie'
beada go round her neck , but In the twentletl
the child from Gowanus landed on Billy'
Jaw and he went out like a wad from a shot
gun.
The racing and bsae ball season Is comln
on apace , and before you fairly know It w
will once more be In the midst of summc
outdoor pl asurcs. There Is a pretty get

was nothing short of marvelous. Not ;
withstanding the high altitude which mlghi
be supposed to tire u man in violent oxer
clso more rapidly than jlf he was In tin
lower country , ho went through It all with
out n lgn of trouble. I have not seer
Fltz as yet. and of course I have no tder

must be a wonderful man , and more thai
that , ho must be a wonderful man In won >
derful condition to stand out against r
lighter who la In the condition In \vbtcl
Corbett Is today. When 1 say that , I an
lu no way underrating Fltz , for 1 know
he is a great lighter. In only s.iy thai
a man who beats Corbett next Wcdnesdaj
must not bo only u wonderful tighter bui
must also be In perfect condition.
1C Corbett loses this tight , he will hnvi
no excuse on account of , the lark of cotv
dltton. A man may lose through an nccl
dent nnd through an unintentional foul
but If Corbett loses It must bo through one
ot these things or because Fitz is th (
better man , nnd I do not see how It Is pos
slblo for any man to be In better shap (
than Jim Is In now.
Tomorrow I am going to ride over tc
the camp where Fitz Is-/raining and thci

to the shape of the two men. In all 1 Imv ;
salil In praise of Corlitttte wish it under

against Fltz In any way. I simply say thai
1C ho wins ho la entlt cl.to be called the
best man in the world , nun In my opinion
nobody will concede that more qulcjclj
than Corbett himself.

yesterday there wns more of the Cornish-

Corbett admirers wanted to take. At White-

Fltzsimmons money at that price , but no
takers. Coibett's backers are holding back
for better odds , and they say that by next

OMAHA , Neb. , March 13. To the Editor
of The Bco : I noticed In The Bee of the
llth Inst. an article written by one John D.
Howe , purporting to represent the ssntlment
of Omaha wheelmen regarding the proposed
lamp ordinance. Many prominent wheelmen
hayo been 13 to believe' that'tto author of
tha article was Hon. John D. Howe , the
attorney , but upon Investigation It has been
fonnd that the latter not only did not write
the article , but on the contrary. Is In favor
of the proposed ordtnanoe , as his signature
to the petition will attest.
It cannot truthfully bo said that any one
man , or set of men , represent any consid
erable number of even the organized wheel
men of Omaha.
Tliera are flvn or six wheel cluts here
with an aggregate .membership of leas than
COO , while It Is estimated there are about
8,000 wheelmen in the city , and yet Mr ,
Howe would have It believed that ho repre
sents the wheelmen of Omaha. The petition
being circulated asking the council to pass
the proposed ordinance has been signed by
members of every wheel club In Omaha ,
including the Associated Cycling Clubs.
Are the thousands of wheelmen ot Omaha ,
who are not members ot any wheel club ,
entitled to any consideration , or are they
to be dictated to by the small minority
which Mr. Howe claims to represent as to
what are proper regulations for their safety
and protection ?
The writer has ridden a wheel In Omaha
for many years and Is not a member ot
any wheel club , but thoroughly believes
that It Is to the Interest of all wheelmen
to have the proposed ordinance become a
law. It Is well known that the lamp la
a safeguard against tbo probability of
accidents. To my personal knowledge , many
nerloua accidents occurred In Omaha last
year by reason of the fact that lights were
not carried on wheels. The expense ot the
lamp Is small , while the benefits are Incal
culable. A WHEELMAN.

WOODMEN WOMEN WALK GUI
All the Delegates from tbo PnciSo Ooasi

SEPARATE JURISDICTION WAS DENIEC
Womnii' * llrnncli of Wooilntcn nf tlu
\Vorlil In Dlnrupleil nnd the Sc-
oeilcri Will nt Once Ornnn-
I lie n. New Drilcr.
Late dispatches from St. Louis announce
the disruption of the Woman's circle , the
women's auxiliary of the Woodmen of the
World. With ono exception all of the
delegates from the Pacific states walked out
of the convention ot the sovereign grove ,
which Is now meeting In St. Louts , anil
proceeded to take steps to form a complete
oeparato organization.
Tli la action was In some measure antici
pated by the sovereign officers , whose head
quarters are located In this city. Rumors ol
the secession have been rlfo for some tlmo.
The Incubating place ot the dissatisfaction
was In the grovea In Colorado , particularly ,
and also in Oregon. These groves charged
that the supreme officers were too extrava
gant and had also been guilty ot mismanage
ment. They demanded that they bo given n
separata jurisdiction , with powers ot self-
government. The sovereign camp refused
this request. The dissatisfied grovea then
prepared to hold a meeting tn Salt Lake on
March 3 , to take stcpa toward secession ,
Tills meeting was , however , declared off nnd
It was decided to fight the matter out In
the sovereign grove meeting , when the boltIng -
Ing dclegatca walked out of that convention
late yesterday afternoon because tholr dy (
niauds would not bo listened to.
Seven delegates walked out. They rep
resented the order In Oregon and Colorado.
With one delegate from Montana , who
decided to stand by the aoverclgn camp ,
they composed thocntlro delegation from the
western states. None of the other states In
the west had enough members In tholr
borders to bo entitled to representation. The
disaffection spread In a measure to the Mis
souri delegates , but after an effort these
wore kept In line with the sovereign camp
officers.
officers.WILL
WILL ORGANIZE A NEW ORDER.
The ecceders at once took stcp.i to organize
an entirely now order. They believe that
they can Induce almost the ontlro weat to
go In with them. They propose to cover
exactly the same territory as that covered at
present by the Pacific Jurisdiction of the
Woodmen of tha World. If they succeed In
doing that they will lop off the biggest part
of the present membership of the circle.
Provided these plans are carried out , there
Is In prospect a pretty fight between the rival
organizations. The sovereign officers , who
are all residents of Omaha , have already
planned to begin an actlro campaign In the
territory the new order proposes to cover.
Rival loyal groves will bo established along-
aldo the seceders. Moreover the sovereign
grove officers are determined that the seced
ing element shall not carry the name of the
Woodmen circle. If It attempts to do so , It
will be stopped by Injunction.
The sovereign camp has also done another
thing that will bo of decided Interest to
Woodmen and circle members In this city.
They dismissed the cases against Charles
Cott and George C. Thompson , former sov
ereign maragers of the circle , paid all the
expenses they liavo Incurred In the cases ,
expunged all mention of the matter from the
records and reinstated them aa beneficiary
members. Thla was done In the Interest ot
harmony , It Is stated , and cannot bo looked
upon aa a victory for the two members.
The difficulties of Cott and Thompson In
the circle were very Intimately connected
with the fight waged between Alpha camp
of this cityj and Sovereign Commander Hoot
of the Woodmen ot the World , which at onetime
time assumed such proportions that the dis
ruption of the order was threatened. In
the latter fight the two men charged that
the sovereign commander was not running
the order economically and wanted to know
where all the money that was pouring Into
the head offices waa going. They also
developed a decided curiosity regarding the
condition of the expense sheets of the sov
ereign officers of the Woodmen's circle , with
which body Root had no connection , but his
relatives had.
The upshot of the matter was that both
Thompson and Cott were charged with dis
courtesy to the sovereign officers and with
several other things. Thn two men were
called to trial , but did not appear. Never
theless , they were suspended and removed
from the positions they hold on the sovereign
board. They at once took nn appeal to the
sovereign camp meeting In St. Louis. >
As heretofore stated , the matter waa set
tled In order to smooth over the troubles.
The case was dismissed and taken out of the
records and the men were reinstated. They
were compelled , however , to present their
resignations as sovereign managers , the
papers dating from January 10 last , when
the difficulty culminated In this city.
