Boston. Mass., Jan. 10. Jim Corbett hurled the lie in the teeth of Jack Jack Johnson lajst night when shown the champion's accusations that he had tried to persuade the negro' to fake a light with him. Pompadiliir Jim branded the conqueror of Jeffries as a faker and threatened to file libel suit against

hiim. '

'He is arnice fellow to talk about

other people -wanting to fake, said Corbett to the representatives of, the press. "I'll net. him $1,000 or as much more as he wants that I can prove he

faked with Kaufmann and Ketchel and

that he can not prove anything on me. Johnson knows that I am after him and

will not be satisfied until I get him licked good and plenty.

'He is a liar when he says I made

any such offer, or tihat I tried to ar

range a fake with him. The first time

meet him, no matter where it is, I

will ask him if he made such a state

ment, and if he says he did, then I will

call him good and hard.

'If Johnson has made a sworn affi

davit to these charges against me it

ill cost him a pretty penny when I

reach Chicago in ten days. I will file

fiult against him. He can then pro

duce what proof he alleges to have.

Hammond Post Office By drectlon of the Post Office Depart

ment, the attention of patrons of this office is invited to the advantages of providing fa

cilities for the receipt of their mail by erect

ing conveniently accessible boxes or cutting

suitable slots In their doors. Such action would enable the postmaster to give a

prompter and better delivery service with

the means at his disposal,' since the carriers

can cover much more territory In less time If not compelled to wait for an answer of their ring. Private receptacles for mail are also a great convenience to the householder, obviating the necessity of responding to the, carrier's call at Inconvenient moments and permitting safe delivery of mall In the absence of members of the household. They also prevent the occasional necessity of a carrier's proceeding on his route without delivering mall because a failure to answer his ring within a reasonable time, and enable him to make deliveries to patrons living en

or near the end of the route at an earlier

hour 1 It has been shewn by actual experience

that the benefits derived by patrons of city delivery from the use of such receptacles far outweigh the small expense Involved. As

this office Is interested in furnishing the best

possible service at the least expense,, your

compliance with the foregoing suggestions

will be much appreciated. -Respectfully, " F. R. SCHAAF, Postmaster.

I The Postmaster General will ask for a law to go into effect at tjie close of the year, requiring everybody who receives mail by carrier to have a mail box at his door. To help its patrons prepare for this law at very little or no expense, THE TIMES has purchased a large supply of MAIL BOXES, to be distributed to any of the paper's patrons who arrange for them promptly. The boxes which THE TIMES will piit out axe of the latest approved patterns, that are entirely acceptable to the Postofl&ce Department. They are provided with a large locked receptacle for letters, cards and other mail, and

are recommended by the postmaster. One of these Boxes will be given ABSOLUTELY FREE to any one paying one year's subscription in advance, a Box to any one paying six months' subscription and 30 cents, OK you can secure one of these boxes by cutting out and presenting at THE TIMES' office one (1) of the "MAIL BOX COUPONS" (that are now appearing in THE TIMES) with 50 cents. These MAIL BOXES are the very best made and cannot be purchased elsewhere at less than One Dollar each. We shall be glad to have you come up and look at them. You will be surprised. - 1

" "As regards the alleged fake proposed for Philadelphia, that is a lie. "As regards Kaufman, the only lengthy conversation I ever had with Kaufman .was in .Baltimore, soon after Johnson returned from whipping Burns

in Australia. I told Kaufman to go after Johnson for a fight, and if necessary to meet him on the street" or at the stage and get a fight with him. "I have been told by responsible parties since that while I was talking to Kaufman he and Johnson had already agreed to go to Australia and box. They had boxed a ten-round, no-decision bout in San Francisco, and I will bet

Johnson anything he wants that I can prove that bout was cooked up. So was the Ketchel "fight, and the same bet goes on that battle, too.' When Jim Flynn stopped Kaufman that knocked th; Australian sdheme into a cocked hat. ."What h says about McCoy I know nothing- about. McCoy might have, laid down in that bout with me, but I can assure Johnson or any one else that I was not a party to a fakefight with McCoy..'

"As for making hSm any offer of 5100.0CC to fake a fight with Kaufman,

that is also another lie."
