s a as. .ssc .3 ami laHnB by Axtell LOCAL BETTING ON FIGHT JEFFRIES IS FAVORITE OVER CORBETT AT ODDS OF 2 TO 1. The Price May Be Lengthened to 3 to 1 Kext Week Root Has Issued a Challenge to Gardner. Local interest In the coming championship fight between James Jeffries and James Corbett, to take place in San Francisco, Aug. 14, is becoming more pro nounced every day. Bets are now being offered at the Kingston and Harry Walk er's of 2 to 1 on Jeffries, but there have been no takers. It is quite likely that the oddds will be to 1, or 3 to 1 in the course of another week. It is believed there will be practically no local betting until within a few days of the battle, when the men secure a better line on the condition of the two fighters. Jim Corbett is in active training at Ala meda. The latest news from Harbin Springs, where Jeffries is setting into shape, indicates that he counted on his su perior weight as a factor in the contest. In a ten-round bout with Fitzsimmons yester day he forced the latter to repeated and continuous clinches, throwing his massive body with full force on the former champion. Fitzsimmons frankly admits that he was exhausted, but almost Immediately afterward Jeffriss boxed ten lively rounds with his brother Jack and Jim Kennedy. The champion will probably remain at Harbin Springs until within a few days of the big fight. Yesterday afternoon Corbett appeared as Charles the Wrestler in an openair performance of "As You Like It" at Sutro Heights in a benefit performance. X K X The Indianapolis Athletic Club Is preparing an excellent card of bouts to be given at the Empire on the night of the big championship battle in San Francisco. A first-class evening s entertainment will be given, and in addition to the contests returns will be received at the theater by special wire from the ring-side in San Francisco. L. M. Houseman, manager of Jack Root, has sent out the following letter, which is self-explanstory : "To John Leyden. Esq., president Internaional Athletic Club. Ft. Erie. Canada My Dear Sir: Herewith I send you certified check for $1,000 in support of the following challenge: "On behalf of Jack Root, of Chicago, I herewith challenge George Gardner, of Lowell. Mass.. champion light heavy-weight of the world, to a contest for the title, the same to be battled for at any time after Sept. 15. lim. "L'nder the terms of the championship trophy fought for at Ft. Erie on July 4 last, and won by Gardner, the holder must defend it against legitimate challengers three times successfully before it becomes his property. This is a legitimate challenge. It is backed up by a forfeit, which can form part and parcel of a side bet of $-.."00 if Gardner insists upon it.

IDE ALA, by LIPTON A WILY SPORT SIR THOMAS NOT ONLY AFTER THE AMERICA'S YACHT CIP, Bnt Working- All Tricks of the Politician to Win Friends Carnations for Girls and Hisses for Babies. BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 1. Sir Thomas Lipton to-night concluded a day of receptions along the way from New York to Buffalo as a guest of the Buffalo Club, & special train having given him beautiful views of the Lehigh, the Wyoming and the Susquehanna valleys and the people along the line welcomed him in a fashion that delighted him. Hundreds of enthusiasts at Wilkesbarre literally pulled him from the cab of the locomotive in which he rode for about 100 miles among the mountains and at Easton and most other of the stops there was a rush for the rear platform to meet him and wish him good luck. At Bethel he invited the Misses Bessie and Annie Taylor into the car and gave them pins bearing the Shamrock Hag and at every station he presented a carnation to every girl who could get within reach. Sir Thomas told General Passenger Agent Charles S. Lee, of the I-high Valley Railroad, that he was pleased with the cordiality shown on the way and at Buffalo. A throng greeted him and cheered as he left the Buffalo station. He held an impromptu reception In front of the Buffalo Club and even kissed a baby that the mother held up. The men of Buffalo gave the yachtman a warm greeting at the Buffalo Club, and after a reception at which they wished him the best of luck they gave a dinner in his honor at which Sir Thomas and his hosts made informal speeches. He received an address to-day from the Irish residents of Ithaca saying that if. as Americans, they could not wish him victory they could not, as Irishmen, hope him defeat. Sir Thomas is accompanied by his party from the Erin and by Lehigh Valley Railroad officers. To-morrow he will be shown Niagara Falls and be entertained by the Royal Yacht Club on Niagara-on-the-Lake. MONROE S NEW HONORS. Rode ÖÜ4 Yards More than De Guichnrd Did in One Honr. BOSTON. Aug. 1.

Few Americans are aware of the fact that an American family, who were a very conspicuous factor in the formation of this Republic, is closely conected by marriage with the family of Pope Leo XIII. This is the Middleton tamily. of South Carolina, of which Ralph I. Middleton. of Pond ave nue, Brookline, is a descendant. They are descended from the Middletons, of Stockell, England, where they were noted for dis tinguished acts of public service and the promin iit social position they occupied sev eral hundred years hefoie the revolution. The Middleton families are among the few American families to b found in Burke's 1 'o' rage. Henry Middleton was president of the continental Omross and Arthur Middle ton was a signer of the Declaration of In dependence. The present haad1 of the Middleton fam ily is Henry Bentivoelio Van Ness Middle ton (Count of B ntivoglio). who in 1M9 married t lie beautiful Beatrice, Countess Cini of Rome. The countess was a r. in ber of one of the oldest and proudest fam ilies of Rome and a niece of Pope leo XI N The family lives in Rome, where the Count of Bentivoglio has always been in close touch with leadinz Italian families, hav ing the respect and tsteem of the whole people. The father of the present Count of Bentivoelio also married for his second wife an Italian countess, and a brief sket h of him follows: Arthur Middleton, charge d'affaires of the I nited States at Madrid, was born at Clifton, Gloucester.

When the civil war broke out he served with distinction as a ll?utenant in the Confederate army, having returned to Rome in 166 where he received the oommirsion of captain in the Papal Zouaves, subsequently becoming an officer at the court of the King ot Italy. It was upon his return to Rome at the close of the civil war that Mr. Middleton met and married the pope's niece, Beatrice, Countess Clnl.

COUNTRIES I HAVE NEVER 9EEX. Impressions of Italy Gathered from Various Outside Sources. Bernard G. Richards, in The Reader. "Others have used their knowledge. Let me write out of my ignorance and show the 'value of it." Italy is the land where every poet goes for the inspiration of his life, and whence people come to dig our sewers. It is ono of the most beautiful countries in the world. Not all of its inhabitants are guides, so. as they cannot all live on the sights, many of them eome to America to seek any sort of odd jobs. So many beauties has this country that only tourists csn afford to avail themselves of all its charms; but after they acqulro their little fortunes In America, the natives often go back to visit the big cities and see considerable of their own l .nd. Italy possesses the mi?t imposing chapels, church' s and eatheirr.ls. The large cities are just dotted with these edifices, all of which contain works of art wonderfully rare and hea itiful. The Italians who come to America first learn about these things through the settlement workers and from the leetures that are given in the slums where they abide, by the various societies for the uplifting of the masses. When they have been here long enough to know a fair amount of the English language they learn a little something about Italian art and literature. They also learn here of the great men that their country has produced, and find that Am ri( a was discovered by one of their countrjmt n. All of which awakens keen interest In their country, and with many it becomes a lifelong ambition to visit the land of their forefathers and behold Its manifold works of antiquity and priceless treasures of art. They are a most musical race the Italians are; and they supply the world with some of the finest singers at the highest rates payable. As is seen by their grand operas, whenever anything serious happens among the Italians they ging about it to each other. A man tells his troubles to his grandmother in a beautiful melody, accompanied by a large orchestra. This is the way much of the conversation is replaced. A soldier comes back from the war. He finds that his sweeheart has. during his absence, married another man. Bo they sing a duct together. One of the eenters of Italy is Rome. It Is called the Eternal City, and was built for Hall Caine for the purpose of his novel. Rome is the seat of the Vatican, which contains the Pope and other treasures of srt and antiquity. It must be a beautiful sight to behedd the brigands In their picturesque costumes as they are camping about the Vatican, where they pitch thi it tents and lie in wait for the pilgrims to the Holy City.

CLE F.I D BRIDiXROOM STARTED

whom; o II I HOLVMOOV Lost Iii Money and Then His Win 44ueer I nduig of a Horaaare Begun at a Summer Resort. New York Herald. In tearful accents a stranded bridegroom told st the Waldorf-Astoria yesterday how he had eloped with the daughter of a man of millions last December and married her. but kept the affair a secret until her graduation on June 11, when he wss robbed In a hotel st Erie, Ps.. and In trying to recover his money his father-in-law was apprised of the whole sffair. Since then the bridegroom has bean hers vainly trying to reach his wife, but her father has kept her secluded, and she does not know where her husband is. The bridegroom is Nelson Dslmage. only son of Arthur Albert Delmsgs. a retired oil man, of Cleveland. O., snd grandson of Alat 1 1 Delmage, for many years high commissioner of customs st Montreal. He is twenty -seven years old and was divorced from his first wife a few months ago. The bride Is Ida Susan Koehler, second daughter of Jackson Kcehler. of Erie, Pa. He has a handsome country place, stocked with deer, a steam yacht, automobiles snd horses galore. His eldest daughter. Florence, was recent' y graduated from a fashionable school. The story of ths romance is told by tha unhappy bridegroom in these words: "Ids is a stunning girl tall, dark and handsome. We met in the summer of UM, at Conneaut Harbor, where she and her sis ter and a chaperon were spending the summer During a trip to Buffalo with a gay party we fell desperately in love. Last Easter 1 visited tha family at Erie and was cordially received. "Last tecemoer, ths 11th, wt concluded we could not wait sny longer, and I nut her at Erie and we took a train to Dunkirk, N. T., only s short distanee away. It is not necessary to get s marriage license In this State, and we had to hurry; that Is why wa came to Dunkirk. A Baptist minister, whose name I forget, married us and we returned to Erie. Only her sister Florence was taken into our confidence, and she reslly kept the at Ott admirably, if she is a woman. TI1KN Jit: PLAYED POKER. "On June 11 the graduation exercises of Ida's school were to be held at Erie, and, of course, I was on hand. We were to go away on our wedding trip right after the gradu ation reception at her home. Ths graduation came off all right. 1 went to Cleveland and got $500 from my father to pay part f the expenses of the honeymoon, and bustled back to Erie. As I got off the train I met several well-dressed young men. To make a long story liort, when I came to the next morning at a hotel In Erie. I remembered being in a poker game or something of ths sort, but 1 could not find a cent of my money. "Here comes the saddest part of It all. I went to the mayor of Erls and tcld him I had been robbed by sharpers, and asked if the detectlvee could not run them down and get back at least a part of the money. Ha fiut his chief of police on ths track, but. aa 11 luck would have it, the mayor's chief clt rk is a nephew of my father-in-law, and he had to telephone to htm thst his son-inlaw had been 'done' out of sll his money by gamblers and left stranded. Father-in-law started for the hotel, saying his Informant must be crasy. A kind friend woke me up and told me I had better 'fit. as father-in ilaw had angrily said be had no son-ln-la that he knew of aud was going to in vast! 1gate. "I jumped on the Empire State express and came to New York post haste. My ss ly trunks are still at the hotel In Elia. I bavs not been able to communicate with my wife. My father-in-law won't answer my telegrams, and my parents think ws are off somewhere at Newport or Narraganeett on our wedding tour. I can't get any mora cash from them, and here I am." REMEMBERS THE MARRIAGE. The Rev W. P. Murray, pastor ot ths First Methodist Church at Dunkirk, remembers marrying a couple on Dec. XL 1902, who gave their names as Nelson Delmage, born in Ontario, formerly ons of the managers of the Carnegie plant at Conneaut, divorced, and Ida Koehler. aged twenty, of Erie. Pa. The bride is said to be only eighteen, however, according to her friends in Erie. Delmage says she knew of his former wedding and of his efforts to get a divorce, and then his letting his wife get one on the ground of desertion. He says he snd his father-in-law were good friends until ths moment the escapade with the card sharps wag made public. Since then, on account of ths divorce, Mr. Koehler hag refused him both his wife and the freedom of the Koehler mansion. Mr. Koehler gave his daughter the choice of giving up her husband or being disinherited. Since learning that Delmage had been married to a daughter of Molt Sherman, a wealthy resident of Albion. N. T., and that his first wife had the marriage annulled, Mr. Koehler persuaded his daughter thai she would be happier at home. iivorce proceedings will now be beguu by tha young wife, according to the father. A THEMElNDOtl APPETITE. Champion Eater of the Tiaae Llvaa Over in Okio. Leslie's Weekly. Stories which hsve been going the rounds of the daily press concerning the gastronomic feats of Dr. H L. Bonner, of Marion, O., have savored so strongly of Munchausen, the classic prevaricator, that wa have been loath to believe them, but careful inquiry into the case on our own part has convinced us beyond a doubt that the most amazing of these reports are literally L true, and that in Dr. Bonner Ohio can boast of a roan who can stow sway more .food in his Interior department at s single sitting than any other man living. It is strictiy. though we can hardly say painfully, true that Dr. Bonner has been known to eat twenty-five pounds of grapes, between meals of an afternoon, and thinks no more of treating himself to a whole bunch of bananas when he feels thst way, or incidentally making away with a crate of strawberries or a basket of pear bee, than an ordinary person would think of making t wo bites at a cherry. A-id when the doctor really gets down to business at a regular meal his bill of fare generally runs about as follows: One five-pound steak fcniothered in onions, four dosen hardboiled eggs, eigteen boiled potatoes, a quart can of tomatoes, two or three ptee and from six to nine glasses of milk to 011 in the chinks. Often when ths doctor comes home iate of a winter night sfter a long, hard drive, he win take a "few light refreshments" before retiring in the shape of a four-pound steak, fifty-six hard-boiled eggs, three and one-half pumpkin pies and a gallon of milk, and we nave it aa the direct testimony of a personal friend that Dr. Bonner never hsd the nightmare t,i hie life. Thts same friend tells us of s chanee acquaintance of the doctor s who happened to meet him on the street one day about noon and invited him Into a restsursnt to luncheon. The doctor suggested that it hsd better be a "Dutch trest." but his new friend objected to that and asked what he would have. The doctor said that if It was "all the same." he would take a five-pound ik smothered In mushrooms to begin with, snd sfter that he "wouldn't mind" having three dosen fried eggs, a can or two of tomatoes, a doxen cucumbers and such little side dishes as there were on the bill. The acquaintance thought the doctor was putting up a bluff, but he ordered two five-pound steaks, the eggs and the Hker things on the list. After ths order waa served the friend engaged in conversat. with a gentleman passing by and turned his back to the table, whereupon the doctor, lust for a Joke, cleared off everything, so that when his host was ready for his meel there was nothing left but the toothpicks. The host's remarks on this occasion sre discreetly left to the imagination. It would I., wholly unjust to Dr. Bonner to close this account of his extraordinary achievements at the table without ststlng. in all seriousness, that he is by no means a glutton, or a man who caras to poas as a great eater Oa the contrary, he is a refined gentleman, a graduate of Edinburgh College, g lover of art and literature and a Successful and hlghly-recpe ted physician. Nature seems to havs endowed him with an abnormal capacity for food, aad he oaay acta what he craves and what he needs, as oth er men de He la well-proportioned his weight being 2 pounds, and his aixt -three years.
