la Thla City.The professional pugilists who have ar-

ranged to "spar" In Madison Square Gordoncan rest assurod that they will do nothingmore than "spar." Petor Maher. the Irishohnmplon. and Jack Dompsoy, tho

middle-weig- ht fighter, are scheduled to"spar" in the Garden-o- n Jan. 12. ChnrloyMltohelt from England and Jim Corbett fromCalifornia are advertised to do somo more"sparring" in tho latter port of February.

" I see." said Superintendent of Folloe Mur-ray rostordar morning, "that these men aretrying to resurroct prlte fighting in New York.Some ot thorn intend to spar sovorat rounds attwo different times in Madison Square Garden.Well, ther will spar, and thero tho matter willend. Tho moment there is any fighting I willarrest them. And I will hayo a protty sharplookout kept to seo where the sparring leavosoff and the fighting begins. Prize fighting hasbeen stamped out of thta city only after thogreatest efforts, and it I know mysoltltwlllnot bo allowod to spring up again.I say this so that tho publlo mar boput on guard. It anr person goes to theGarden to seo fighting he will bo fooled. Thesestrangors oome in here to sap money out otthe people, and to break the regulations of theelty as well I will notify all the pugilistswhom I have hoard ot as being connected withthose affairs, and also the manager of theGarden. It thor persist they shall take theconsequences, and, I assure you, tho

will be severe."The stand taken br Superintendent Murray

took the pugilietsaU aback. About 3 o'clockIn the attornoon Charier Mltohelt and FrankBlnvln went to. Police Headquarters with theIntention of calling on tho. Superintendent,The Superintendent had gono home' sometime before, and a oloud ot disappointmentcrossed the, face of Charlor. while Frank'seyes soowlod and hls.moustaoho bristled outat n sharper anslo than Is Its wont."The Superintendent askod me to call onhim this week."" said Charlor. who. br thewar. did all the talking, "and I am sorry I didnot come here before tho little unpleasantBtorr was made publlo. Tho match betweenCorbett and myself will simply bo asclenttftoboxing bout for points. The fact that it is tolast onlr six. rounds, that there is to be noreferee, and that the stake moner will beevenly divided lsthobestof evldonoe that noslugging will be done. Wo oerUtnly will notdo any slugging. It's harsh ot the Superin-tendent to say that we come hero to gull theAmerican people out of Amorlcan dollars.We're after money, certainly, and we re afterIt In tho easiest war. But rour Americanfighters and sporting men go over to Englandto rako In good English pounds."

"Yes, and your Hull Ivan rakod In Australianpounds." ohlmod In HIavIn.

"Its quite harsh." repeated Mitchell, "fortho Superintendent to say that we wish to gullthe Americans. I remember tho tlmo whenlie liked a good bout himself as far as theduties of his position wouldpermlt Talkabout brutal prtzo fighting. Why. what wasntbro brutal than when Maher knocked outthose two mugs In Madison tiquaro Gordon, orwhen he put Jack Fallon to sleep at Nlblo's?Tho police didn't stop that 1 intend comingdown to see Mr. Murray on Monday, and winEut the case before him squarely. I think I

an idea as to who was tho cause ot thisstory coming Out I won't say who it Is, but itis some portion In mr business.

"Some people like to give me the razzle-dazz- le

every time, and try to make enemiesamong people whom I want for mr friends.Ther all know mo. though. I ear what I mean,I say I can lick any man in tho world, and Ican. I r.iri do it at five minutes' notice. That'sme." With that Mitchell buttoned up his fur-lin-

coat and took his huso-heade- d cane,awar. Slavln, who. by tho way. had dono noserious damage outsido of upsetting a bottleot mucilage In the room where tho Interviewtook place, followed. Ho said that thin was"mighty bad weather for the Influlnzy." andthat what Charley says goes."

Arthur liumley said he thought It waa thedirect result ot the exhibitions by Peter MaherIn Madison Square Gordon, in which he knock-ed out two men in a few minutes. "There was

need of Maher punishing Sailor Brown asgo did." said Lumley. "Even John L. Sullivandoesn'tgoathlsmanso hard. John hits hisman'once and generally puts him to sleep, butif he doesn't succeed, he doesn't cut or bleedhtm.

;" But that doesn't 'justify the polioe In stop-ping this bout Here are two representativeboxers of England and America who purposegiving a solentlflo exhibition, each to try tooutpoint the other. Neither man is a slugger,ana neither wins his fights in that way. Bothare eeiebrated for their science and powers ofendurance. The action of the police is pastunderstanding. Every few nights we see a

boxing tournament In whichblood Is-- spilled right and left, and thecontestants aim for nothing short ota 4cr0ck-o- ut blow. Not a tournamentpasses but what three or four men arecarried unconscious from the ring. Yet thesethings are conducted with the full sanction ofthe police. Nosuggestion has ever been madethat ther should be stopped. I fail to seewhere the distinction comes in between ama-teurs and professionals."

Jim Corbett was indignant when he heardthe ultimatum ot Superintendent Murray. Hesaid ft was to be a solentlflo contest in whichaknook-outwa- s entirely secondary to points.But he didn't .propose to let Mitchell esoape.Now he would insist on righting him to afinish before some reputable club, and he sawno reason why Mitcnoll should refuse to ao-ce- nt

the $12,000 offer from New Orleans.It is said that Mitchell's fine hand is detectedthis nroceeding. It Is well known that he

ioesn'tcaretoflghtfora living, although hohas great respect for American dollars.

said repeatedly that he prefers tostarbehind the scones. He doesn't hanker

a fight with Corbett who is twenty orilrty pounds heavier and easily his match in

sclenoo It not In strategy. Yet when Mitchellsigned the articles he was very solicitous thatthe reporters should avoid saying anythingabout a knock-o- ut or the division fof the gatereoelpta. This would seem to indicate thatCharier was anxious that the bout should notbe stopped, but men who know him say he iscunnlnir enough to have secured the policeinterference.

The order of Superintendent Murray pro-hibits also the Sempser-Mahe-r contest slatedfor January.

Some of Corbetfs friends profess to be gladthat the mill has been stopped, because theywere not satisfied with the condition. which

no more than six rounds and gaveSermlttedtoo much chance to escapo with adraws

Thla Oaa-tt- t ta Mettlo It.TO rax Esrroa or Tbk Bvn-S- irr I read In your lssn

of yeeterdsy an interview with John L. Sullivan's busi-

ness manager. Jack Barn it t. In which the latter statesthat Arthur Lumley baa no authority to act for Sulli-

van in regard to the champion's proposed match withSlavln. ,

Kow, I bay full power to arrange this affair as I deemproper, but, having been confined to my home for tometime bytlekness, I requested Mr. Lumley to meetBlavln and Ultchell and act for me. I did not want toseethes people get away with any bluffs, aud any-thing air. TLutnley agreed' to regarding tbla match ofSullivan and Hla In at that meeting I will stand by,

Palo Alto, however, had a still greater sur-prise in store for the trotting world, as Arlonflashed like a meteor across the horse Arma-ment, and at the very outset gave promise otbeoomlng a record breaker. Whenhomarohed

'to a rocord ot 2:25K, the effort was so easythatallwhosawitwere convinced thatElectloneer's greatest son stood before them. Still it issafe to soy tbat not one in the throng expectedArlon to plaoe the stallion rocordmore than seven seconds lower than any ld

Hegradually prepared tho colt and gave the pub-lic conclusive proof that the colt waB a racohorse as well as a speedy trottor. the youngstertaking a record of 2:21 In a race. Then It wasevident that Arlon was not all out. but hadconsiderable in reserve. Tho weather for I

the next two weeks was vory favorable, andArlon we prepared for a trial against thewatch. Those ylio wcro prosont were hopefulthat 2:18 would be equalled or beaten, butovon their fondest expectations wore surpass-ed. Marvin driving the colt from wlro to wirein 2:15H without the youngster making a skipor break. But all records were surpassedwhen Arlon marched a mllo in thewondorfultlmoot:10. t

Many Persons have been estimating Arlon svalue, taking Axtell'a prloo as a standard.Axtetl. whose record when a rear older thanAriontwas 2:12 or a second and a quarter slowerthan tho Palo Alto champions at a rearyounger, sold for $105,000. Ariel Lothrop,Senator Stanford's brother-in-la- and JosopnCairn Simpson figure on this basis that Arlonis worth S2SO.0OO.

The Senator has refused all offers for theoolt. and ho will be trained next rear, anddriven to a taster record. That he will ulti-mately eclipse all records, barring accidents,nobody doubts. An enterprising Iowa horse-man has offered Senator Stanford $20,000 fortho privilege ot breeding ten mares to thophenomenal oolt in 1803. The offer was notaccepted.

Arlon was photographed while trottlnghtsrecord mile, and tho picture presented by Tin:Son is true to life. Anybody who ever sawMarvin will recognize him readily. It will beseen that Arlon wears plenty of boots for pro-tection. He is pure Baited, but there Is noth-ing like protecting the sensitive parts ot thehighly organized trotter.

The young man Is pleasant and well-bre- d.

Three years ago tn New York he met MissWarde. The acquaintance ripened Into a loveaffair, to which Miss Warde's mother, awealthy widow, strenuously objected on theground that young Johnson was an adven-turer. The girl was hurried off to Europe andyoung Johnson went West.

Last Saturday Mr. Johnson went to Chicagoon business. He walked Into the dining roomat the Leland, He was ushered to a table theonly occupants of which were an elderly anda young woman. It was not until he was closeupon them that the young man recognized hisformer sweetheart and her hard-hearte- d

mother. The eyes of the lovers met simul-taneously, and there was a scene. Miss Warderushed forward to greet Mr. Johnson, whothrow his arms around the holross and kissedher. That settled It Mrs. Warde raved anddeclared the acquaintance must end at once,but the oouplo eluded her vigilance, ran offto St. Paul, and wero married.

Somo months ago "Chuck" fell a victim totho wiles ot tho seductlvo Annlo after ono otherCarmoncitatlanoes. Ho was hit hard, or,as ho nut it " I got stuck on her tor fair."from that moment "Chuck" was an alteredman. From thewildost of follows ho becamethe mcokost He had been an habltuo ot thesaloon day nnd night, but now ho became annbsenteo. and oven rofuscd a drink.

But thero camo a shock oneday when big Tom Lloyd came in with start-ling news.

"What d'ye think?" ho asked. Then after apauso ho added. "'Chuck's' workln'I"

Barkeeper Vincent dropped two glasses ofmixed ale; John McTiernan. who was drapingSim Colllns's pictures fell off the chair, whilethe rest stood as if stupefied.

"What's this ror glvin' us?" sarcasticallyinquired Jerry Barnott who was the first toreoovor." Straight goods," answered Lloyd. " I seenhim mosolt up at tho yards of tho Second ave-nue 'L' shoveling ashes."

Tho empty glosses after the "Here'siuok" was proof that all there still possessedtheir mental faculties." He's crazy." was the universal opinion ofPell street when the news of " Chuck's" ex-traordinary break in going to work spread,and they viewed him uneasily when ho camearound evenings to spend a few hours. ButIn a week the novelty woro off. and although" Chuck" bogan to shavo once a week, havohis shoes shlned on Sundays, and sport a" boiled" shirt and necktto, nothing could sur-prise them, although their pity deepened.

All this time " Chuck" hod been Ignoringother girls in Pell street and paring delicateattentions to Annie Harrison. When sho camedown in a wrapper to get a pint of beer" Chuck" would manage to meet her at theside door to Interoept her and say: "Lemmago in for rer; tney're teelln' pretty jol in thereand might say somethin' to yer." Ho got inthe habit ot touching his bat and making anawkward bow to hor when he met her on thestreet or when she was looking out of thewindow, although this courtesy was painful toboth, resulting in quiet snickering and chaff-ing from the othor girls. He came in the sa-loon one night when Annie was in a desperatemood and adding to her liveliness quite rap-idly by tho old of tho bottle.

Maggie Foley's sick, and wants to see yer.Annlo,"Tled "Chuok" promptly.

"Oh, fell with Maggie. You star here andglvo us a dance." remarked burly Jim Fogarty,us ho caught hold ot Annie around the waist

It was all over before Billy Vincent the bar-tender, could raise a hand. Fogarty was lay-ing alongside of the ice box. with a jagged outover his left eye. and 'Chuok" bad carriedAnnie out bodily by tho tlmo Vincent couldsay: " What's all this ?"

You go home now." said Chuck." as hoput the girl on her feet and thero was so muchearnest nuthorlty In tho voice ot tbe boxer thatshe unsteadily turned toward home without aword. "Chuck" following hor to see that shegot there safely.

The Inhabitants observed after this thatChuok" and Annlo frequently stood In the

doorway of 11 In tho early hours nt the even-ing, nnd the word went around that " Har-rison's goln' with "Chuck." But nothingpassed botweon tho two that Moy Tung mightnot havo listened to. The Chinaman fre-quently passed in and out while tho pair weretalking together, but he never gave them aclanco. "Chuck" Is an entertaining, wittyfellow, witli far morn original humor thanmany u famous comedian, and the girl liked tolisten to his quaint conversation. As for"Chuck." well, to use his own words, he was"cloan plumb stuck."

Out of Ms Urn t month's wages "Chuck" gotanew suit of clothes, and. coming around theother evening, ho hailed Annlo with:

"Come to tho show at tho Windsor with me" What'ro they playing?""Annlo Ward Tiffany In 'TheStendaughter.'"" Is it a good ploy Yes. I'll go." said Annie.They sut through tho tilay tho next evening,

nnd both wero affected by the unfortunatelovo affairs of the heroine stepdaughter. Inthe thrilling passage "Chuck" got hold of hiscompanion s hand and held It to the und. Atthe doorway of 11 tlioy stood a long whllo Insilence, which finally Annie broke" Well, good night, ' Chuck.' Much obliged.V) III I soo you night?"

" I wnntur tor soo yer ternlght" raid"Chuck." ns ho pushed tho girl into the hall-way ami threw his arm around hor. "Say,Annie, do you think. "

"Don't get foolish, Chuck." bogged Annie." Suppose Moy came down.""Well. I'll tell yer. I wanter tako yor away

Tho girl's breath came quicker and sheoffered no rasistanco when the Impassionedboxer rallied kisses upon her face. In hermaudlin moments sho had often cursed the.Chinaman sho Iwhs living with, but she knewtho man befnro hor could offer her no suchhomo and luxuries as the Chinese gambler.Was It worth whllo to try and begin un honestllf? She hesttatodandthon came this:

Who found Moy Tung on tho bunk smokingwhon she reached Iter roomH. This was un- -expected nnd sho stood In tho centre of theroom, periiluxodly. The Chinumon smoked api no and then said, pleusnntly :

Into the bedroom, whero hor trunk was stored,Him felt a little frlglitoned nt what she wasabout tn do, and whs startled when MoyTung followed hor with a lamp.

"I win lot monoy this aft noon." sold the 'Chinaman. "Ifabgootl luck. I go bur silk;one Chinaman he sell cheap. Fifty yard. Yousor.d you mamma and sister. Cliuinusplesont"

On tbo bed was a heavy roll ot blaek silk, and i
