8 THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, -WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 189t POWERSJETS KING, The Silver-Haired Young Man Agrees to Go and Pitch for the-ftew York League Club. A HIGH SALARY AGREED UPON. Jimmy Galvin and Ed Swartrtod Sign Contracts to Hay oh the Fitts ' hurg Team. MAGNATES ARRIVE IN NEW TORE. General Demand Jor a react Settlement Bastball Xevrs of Interest Pat Powers, the new manager of the New York club, arrived in the city yesterday, presumably to have a talk with Dick Buck ley, but really to try and sign Charley King to pitch for the 2sew York club next year. As a result the manager and player came to terms, but King declined to sign until to-day. The pair had a long conversation, chiefly because King's terms were too high in the estimation o" Manager Powers. Finally, the latter accepted the figures of the "Silver-haired" young man, and a contract was made out, and it was then that King hesi tated until he had a conversation with some friends. He finally concluded To Close the Deal To-Day, the understanding being that Manager Powers is to wire King this morning for King's reply. The reply will be that he, King, accepts the terms and will.&ign the contract. Last evening King was asked by the writer it the above statement was correct, and he replied: "Every word is true. I have made up my mind to sign with the Xew York club next year. Sly terms are high, but Mr. Powers has consented to pay the money, and I will let him know-to-morrow that the business is settled. The Pittsburg club has no claim on my ser vices. The directors released me, which meant that they did not care whether I played here or not. I, therefore, had to look out for myself, and they will get a good man in my place." There cannot but be a general regret at the loss of King to the local club. All along it has been thought that he would certainly stay here, as the Association had blacklisted him, and that other League clubs would keep their hands oft him, so as to give Pittsburg a chance to get him at a a much reduced salary. Hopes are Blighted. These expectations, according to King's present intention, have fallen short, and as a result tne Jew lorK cluo will get a good pitcher, and Pittsburg, by its own foolish action, will lose one. It is quite true that the local club directors have been strongly wishing that King was signed by them. And it is also a fact that one of the reasons that Mark Baldwin is not yet signed is to prevent other pitchers from comparing his salary with what is offered them. It may be said with safety that the loss of King will be felt to a greater extent than many people think. He has acted perfectly within the limits of right, and very likely he will be a good gamer. Manager Powers also had a long conver sation with Catcher Buckley. He declined to talk business with the manager at pres ent, because Yon der Ahe has a 15-day op tion on Buckler's services. That is, Buck ley has given Yondy his terms, and Vondy lias 15 days to accept or reject them. Glass cock has a similar agreement w ith Yon der Ahe. Mr. Powers went to "Wheeling last evening to visit Glasscock. The Xew York manager stated that there will be a good team in yew York, as some of the bet players in the countrv are ap plying to sign contracts with the club. GaWin and Swartwood Sign. Galvin also had a lone; conference with Director Kerr, of the local club, but noth ing definite was done. It is probable, how ever, that Galvin will sign to play here. Mr. Kerr made him an ofler which was in tended to cover Jimmy's claim of f 500. Old Sport declined to accept it, but stated that he would let Mr. Kerr know definitely about the matter Friday. Jimmy will be in Chicago to-morrow and will then con sider offers from that club. His claim of ?J00 was satisfactorily adjusted. He is to receive 3,000 lor next season, at least so report says. He speaks highly of Mr. Kerr as a fair-minded negotiator. And Ed Swartwood was also signed at Director Kerr's house last evening. Ed will play right field, Corkhill, center and Honloa left; at least that is the present ar rangement. During the past season Swart wood played excellent ball. ALL WAXT PEACE. Great Gathering or ltaseball Magnates in . New York Interesting Opinions Ex pressed Regarding the Situation Al Johnson Said to Ho on Deck Again to Help Jim Mntrie. New York, Nov. 10. Svccial The city is now well crowded with baseball magnates of League and Association. The League will meet to-morrow, and rumors are now numerous that great efforts will be made to arrange peace between the two or ganizations. The following opinions on the matter were expressed by the various mag nates: William Barnie, who coaxed Iiicbardson and Conner an ay from New York, said: "Yes, I'm in favor of peace, if it can be se cured on equitable terms. Otherwise I am for a fight. George AV. Vafrner, brother of J. Earl Wagner, remarked: "The prospect for an Association team here is bright, but it all depends on crounds. Mr. Prince, of Bos ton, has subscribed fo.OOO toward a club here, and I think the Association can be de pended upon for 525,000. Mr. Elliott, Yice President and attorney of our club, called on Mr. Spalding this morning and bought the ten shares of stock owned by Roger Conner. AVc shall attend the meetings of the New York club in the future, and learn how a League club is conducted. Gus Schmelz said he was there as a mem ber of the Circuit Committee. Columbus is kicking hard against being thrown out of the Association, an event of which they stand in deadly fear. T. S. Elliott said the 12-club idea would not be entertained in Philadelphia. He didn't see how it could be worked. He was, in favor of an honorable peace. "When Chris Von der Ahe was asked what he tiiought of the 12-club idea, he said: "That needs study. I don't think I'm in favor of it. I'm in favor of peace if it can be secured on an equitable basis. "We ought to get back to the days when the spring and fall games between the two bodies netted so much money. This seems t'i be a game of freeze-out, and it's a ques tion which can stand it longest It's hurt ing the game and should be stopped. The Association Peace Committee is still iu ex istence, and is ready to meet the League. But if the League insists on a war to the knife we shall meet them. If it comes to' a battle the Association will start a sporting goods manufactory in opposition to the Spaldings. No matter what the Associa tion does none of its clubs will be thrown down. If it is necessarv to get rid of one club it will be bought out" "When E. B. Talcott was asked what he thought of the prospects of an Association team here he laughed and said: "The idea is absurd. I don't believe anybody with common sense would think o'f attempting to put a team in here with the certainty of a bitter fight wjh the League team. Thev would not only have to 50 to great expense for grounds, but would nave to guarantee salaries of plavers, and big salaries at that It would entail a risk of 575,000 or $100,000, without the slightest prospect of getting a cent on the investment, and I donH know anybody who would assume such a risk at present!" J. AV. Spalding remarked: "lam not at all uneasy over the talk of an Association team here. If they do put a team in this city, which is very improbable, they will get all the fight they want. I think the 12 club plan is a good one, and I think it will be earnestly pushed." It is asserted that the chief backer of Mutrie in his effort to organize an Associa tion team is Al Johnson, who took an active part in the Brotherhood revolt. MOTBIE AND DAY MEET. Jeems Says Ho la Sorry to Have to Fight Against His Friend. New York, Nov. 10. Special Presi dent Day, "Jim" Mutrie and Manager Powers met in Mr. Day's office yesterday. Pow ers said that he was sorry to be obliged to take Mutrie's place, but as the position was offered to him he accepted it Mutrie replied that he did not care and had no feeling in the matter. He had laid his plans for an Association team to be placed in Gotham, fully expecting to be "bounced" by the League cltfb". He had had backing oilcred him for a new team as far back as last August Turning to President Day, Mutrie, with a smile, said: "I am sorry to leave you, Mr. Day, after so many yearsof friendly associa tion. It will seem odd to be fighting you." President Day smiled significantly and re marked: "Well, Jim, we have not begnn to fight yet," with an intimation that there can be no war unless two armies are in the field. OH to New York. Messrs. O'Neil, Scandrett, Brown and A. G. Pratt lelt for New York last evening. The last named went on private business. Mr, O'Neil went as a League director and the other two gentlemen went as representa tives of the local club. They were all in favor of peace. SuXLIVAN'S M0HET IS V? For a Go at Slavin in September or Oc tober or Next Tear. New York. Nov. 10. ferial Definite word from John L. Sullivan, concerning a match with Paddy Slavin, was received to day by Charley Johnston, of Brooklyn. It came in the form of a letter, which reads as follows: The Baldwin Hotel. ) Saw Fra.-cisco, Nov. 2, 1891. Friend Citabley I thought I would drop you a line to let you know I am in God's country onco more. I did not really have the courage to write you from Australia. It is the worst hole in the world. I wish you would make n match, for me with Slavin, to come off in the latter part of September or tlio middle of October, for tlio largest purso offered, and a side bet of the greatest amount tlio other side will put up.

Johnston went to the Illustrated JVeics office and told Editor Lumley that he was ready to put up ?2,500 to bind the match with' the Australian. "Don't lose time," said Johnston, "the quicker the thing is done the better." Lumley lost no time, and the money was put up at once. With the forfeit was this challenge:' Sew York Nov. 10, 1S9L On behalf of John L. Sullivan, who has empowered me to arrange a match with Frank Slavin for the championship of the woild and aa much more as the Australian can possibly raise, I challenge the said Mr. Slavin to meet the champion in a fair stand up fight, the battle to tike place in America, before some re sponsible club who will offer the largest purse," the match to take place in the latjer part of September or early part of October, under the recognized rule. To show my earnestness I herewith deposit $2,500, to re main cp until January 1, 1S92. CHAKLE3 Johxstoit. QUITE A HOVEL PLAH. If Steve Farrell Beats tlio American Record He 'Will Get the Stake. The backers of Smith and Farrell met yesterday afternoon to try and settle the difficulty relative to last Saturday's foot race at Recreation Park. After consider able discussion it was agreed that if Farrell can run 300 yards on the track at New Cas tle in 31! seconds Smith's backer, John Quinn, will allow Farrell to have all the. stake money up for last Saturday's race. This arrangement was come to because Quinn claimed that Smith had run 300 yards in 31 seconds in a trial on the track named. That time is a quarter second bet ter than the American record, so that Far rell has quite a task before lim, but he is confident of doing it The distance that Smith ran at New Castle was marked otT, and if it is found to be short Farrell will get the money without running. If Farrell tails to accomplish his task each party will get their 500 back. If the track is wet the trial won't be made until the weather and track are favorable. The plan of set tlement is certainly a unique one, and pre sumably Farrell has all the worst ot it. Erring Will Stay. Cincinnati, Nov. 10. Captain "William Ewing is at his Tiome here, unmoved by the exciting events that are taking place at the metropolis. New York will certainly see him in harness next season. "Will I play ball for the New Yorks?" he asked in re sponse to a query of a Sun correspondent. "Well, I guess yes. My arm is as good as it ever was on everything except quick snap throws. I am suree it will come arouud all right next spring. About the middle of January I will start for the Hot Springs, and I will stay there until the opening of the baseball season. If the waters there could cure Latham's crooked arm they can benefit mine. We will have a team in New York, and a good one at that You can wager that Richardson and Glasscock will be with the New Yorks. There is where they want to play, and both are under con tract to the New York club. Itichardson is signed for three years with the New York club; so is Glasscock. I would as well see John Eeilly on first base as Itoger Connor. John Ewing is as good as signed. He will stick to New York. I think the Leaeue race next season will be better .than it was this year."

Eome Eattlinjr Good Practice Work by the Leading University Aggregations. GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAT New Yokk, Nov. 10. Special The famous football team of the Manhattan Ath letic Club, which has made such a brilliant record, disbanded for the season last night. Never before .was an amateur athletic organization able to get together such a crack eleven as the Manhattans turned out this fall, and some football authorities even went so far as to predict that, with a little practice, it would beat any team in the country. That it was a rattling good one was shown in the way in which it defeated the Columbia College eleven in such hollow style and the wonderfully fine game it played against the Crescents. When the Manhattans joined the Ameri can Football Union and entered their eleven it was thought by many good judges that the championship emblem would be seen floating from the cherry diamond's club house at the end of the season. Passed a Bad Rule. The Manhattan men felt confident it would, and backed their opinion with their money. The action of the union, however, 24"hours before the first game in passing a rule prohibiting the Manhattan"? best play ers from competing knocked all the calcula tions out, for the M. A. C. officials, believ ing that their clubmates had been unfairly treated, sent in the club's resignation from the union. The action of the union greatly discour ased the men and if it hadn't been for the objectionable rule the team would still be playing in the union series. The union's position in the matter has been severely criticised. The rule which made the Man hattan men angry compelled every player on a team in the championship games to re side within 100 miles or the club which he represented. This shuts out Ames, the famous full back, and "Spor" Donnelly, uasn ana Liilly, ot .Princeton s champion eleven, who reside in Chicago, and Vhom the Manhattans depended upon for the best of their playing. Many who admitted that the rule itself was a good one thought that the union acted very unfairly in passing it on such short notice and alter the Manhattans stated that the players mentioned would be on its team. Harvard Wonld't Play. The Manhattans must have believed they had a rattling good team, for immediately after the club withdrew from the union a challenge was sent to the Harvard football eleven to play them for a cup of the value ofS250. The Manhattan eleven went into active training under the care of "Jim," Robinson for the proposed game with the Cambridge men. Practice games were played on Manhattan field under the elec tric light, and the boys had got down to good, steady team worlL "Jim" Robinson was very much pleased with, the way in which his men were playing and felt confi dent of their ability to whip Harvard. "Jim" and his playerswcre very much crestfallen yesterday when they were in formed that the Harvard was unable to arrange the game and, having no more im portant games on hand, they decided to dis band. "Jim" said last night that he will turn out two teams next season that will make a great record. He will see to it that the first 11 of the club will be on the field early and in first-class condition when the big games begin. THANKSGIVING DAY'S GAME. The Auction Sale of tickets Is Proving; a Tremendous Success. New York, Nov. 10. Special S. J. Cornell, who has the management of the Thanksgiving Day game of football between Yale and Princeton at Manhattan Field, has been besieged during the past few davs by people desirous of securing seats. The auction sale on Saturday night was voted a tremendous success. The pre miums on boxes, coach stalls and choice seats reached big figures in nearly every case. Everything left over after the auc tion sale Saturday night was placed on sale at the box ofilce of the Manhattan Athletic Club Theater, Madison avenue and Forty fifth street Captain Cornell adheres strictly to his rule to sell tickets only to those who wish them for their own use and that of their immediate families. This has the re sult of almost entirely shutting out the speculators. The latter, however, resort to every artifice to secure tickets. Thev make written requests over different names and give them to Mutual District messenger boys to procure tickets. Captain Cornelfin every instance refused to honor any such re quests and the ticket speculators were com pletely left and the followers of Yale and Princeton were given the best of the bar gain. At 5 o'clock last night the covered grand stand was entirely sold out, not a single seat being left Therefore the onlv chance that remains for the Princeton and Yale graduates to secure seats is to make application to President Wright at Yale and President Farrand at Princeton. Every private box and all coach and car- l iiutgc Dynuu uiM utcu euiu. iiiv saie oi seats upon open reserved stand "D" will begin at the Manhattan Athletic Club Theater ticket office at 9 o'clock this morning. Capt Cornell has decided not to sell any admission tickets until three days before Thanksgiving. This is to preventany coun terfeit tickets being made. The tickets have been printed by the American Bank Note Company and will of course be hard toe mn terfeit tickets there will be a large force of detectives employed to prevent the sale of any in the event of their being offered for sale, and the public is warned not to buy admission tickets except at certain designated places. Capt. Cornell has received fabulous offers for reserved seats, private boxes and coach spaces, but he cannot furnish them. The indications are that the attendance at this year's game will be the greatest ever known in the annals of American sports. THE YALE ELEVEN. A Conple or Changes Made in the Team to , Make Matters Better, New Haven, Conn., Nov. 10. Captain McClung-and Josh Hartwell made a couple of changes in the Yale eleven to-day as a result of their visit to Harvard and Phila delphia on Saturday. Winter was trans ferred from left to right tackle, changing places with AVallis. The move was made with a view to the Harvard game for the purpose of putting Wallis against Upton and Winter against Newell. Newell proved too much for Wallis last year, and this year will be assigned to Winter, who is phvsical ly a much more powerful man. Hartwell was taken from left and placed at right, his old positfon being taken by Hinckey, who was thought to be too light to face "Slugger" Mason, of Harvard. Hartwell held a conference with" Stagg affer Saturday's game at Cambridge, and learned the details of the trick by which Stagg scored against Harvard. It was tried at the field practice this afternoon and worked like a charm. A run of 20 yards through the center and a touchdown re sulted. Crosby was taken from the 'Varsity this afternoon and placed in the scrub eleven. It is prettv certain that the make up of the team which will lace Princeton and Harvard will be as follows: Hinckey, left end; Wallis, left tackle; Hcffelfinger, left guard; Stillman, center: Morrison, right guard; Winter, right tackle; Hartwell, right end; Barbour, quarter back; McClung, left half back; C. Bliss, right half back, and Mc Cormick, full back. AN AWFUL DISBUPTION. Association Football Kickers Take Action and Jeopardize the League. There is an awful disruption in the West ern Pennsylvania Football League. A gen eral meeting of that organization was held last evening in the Natatorium to hear four protests.regarding games played, and as a result all the protests were sustained, and Secretary Macpherson intends to resign. Probably never in the history of athletic organizations were more stupid and illogical decisions arrived at. Pittsburg seemed to be the target of everybody's envy under all circumstances. Even decisions that had been made by referees on their own judg ment and observation were reversed and discarded. It didn't need a violation of rule last evening to cause the majority to "sit" on the referee of any protested game; it only needed somebody to say that the referee saw a play different to somebody else who was opposing the Pittsburg team and that settled it In one instance, a protest was sustained simply because Secretary Macpherson had appointed a Pittsburg man to referee a Pittsburg game. The referee in question was Fred Goodwyn, a gentleman whom every team in the League has desired to of ficiate for them. ' The contestingteams were the Pittsburgs and the McDonalds. The latter were beaten and hence their wail. But there is no rule demanding that the referee of any game shall or shall not reside at any particular place. In view of this fact Mr. Macpherson took the decision as an insult to himself, and he could not well do otherwise. And let it be said that he has done more for the League than any four men in it. He stated last evening that he is determined to wash his hands of the en tire affair. The protests were: Bloomfield protested against a game won by Pittsburg by 4 to 1. No goal was protested," but the protest was sustained simply because the majority thought the referee, an old football player, was incompetent The game will be played over on the first open date. New Castle protested a game won by Homestead, the protest referring to a dis puted goal. The protest was sustained. The game will be played next Saturday at Homestead. . Bloomfield protested a game given to McDonald because the former had gone to the wrong grounds and consequently were not at the grounds selected for the game. Protest sustained and the game will be played at McDonald next Saturday. McDonald protested a game won by Pitts burg, 3 to 2. Protest sustained. As a result the Pittsburg team,by an evi dent conspiracy, has been dragged down from a close second to a tie for last place. This is not creditable to those who soTin fairly aided in the work. GOOD WOEK AT PEINCET0N. The University Kickers Do Some Excellent Practice and Feel All Right. Princeton, N. J., Nov. 10. On the foot ball field to-day the University 11 took its usual practice game. All the members ot the 'Varsity participated in the game and showed themselves not much the worse for wear from the game -played with the Uni versity of Pennsylvania on last Saturday. About 45 minntes were played without in termission. The first part of the game was very snappy, and- the 'Varsity had prettv much its own way in rushing the ball down the field, but the latter part was characterized by much loose work, and the 'Varsity barely escaped a score being made against it. When time was called the ball was on the 'Varsitv'a five-yard line. Three touchdowns were made. Homans made one unsuccessful attempt at goal from field. Alexander Moffitt, '85, did the coach ing. After Princeton's victory over the Uni versity of Pennsylvania on Saturday the following congratulatory telegram was re ceived yesterday, addressed to Princeton College and signed "Harvard": "A glori ous victory." ENCOUEAGING THE KICKEB3. Schoff, of the University Team, Gets a Gold Watch for Good Work. Philadelphia. Nov. 10. Special. As an extra stimulus to good work in the Princeton game Mr. Gaylord, of the medi cal department, offered to the members of the University team doing the best all round playing a watch, which was yester day awarded by the directors of football, who had the matter in charge, to Schoff, who put up a magnificent game at end. Besides having a very lame knee he had been quite sick, and all things considered the award was just. The team is now prac ticing for the Yale game on Saturday, and hope f o show more perfect team work than they did against Princeton. Bntler Is in Line. Butler, Nov. 10.

We did not tumble to It for a long lime ourselves, for Corcoran was an extremely cautious fellow, lie invariably carried a mammoth chew of tobacco In his mouth, and when he chewed be lifted it about with a movement that resembled the actions of an elephant begging peanuts of a crowd of chil dren. Flint noticed this peculiarity and one day be suggested to Larry that he make his curve sig nals by shifting the chew. It worked to a cbarm, and many an old timer was fooled."

Both propellers were broken and her sides damaged considerably. Colonel 3Ieri:ill Informed the shippers that the new dike at Marrletta Island lias been finished, and there Is now a waterway of 630 at Marietta, or 100 feet more than formerly. ThedamatBlenner hasdett IIaud Is nearly finished also, he said, so that pilots need never stop agatn going up the river, and there Is a good channel down the right hand shore. The trouble at Logstown. be said. Is that the channel is unnatural. In conclusion. Colonel Merrill spoke hopefully of the work on river improvements, and said that In a few.ycars many dlmcultles which beset river navigation would be ubvlated. A meetixq was held yesterday In the Monon eahela House .between Colonel Merrill. United States Engineer, and Commander Sbeppard, of the United states Saw, and the rlvermen. Colonel Merrill and Commander bheppard are on a commit tee appointed to examine Into the manner of light ing bridges on the Monongabrla and Allegheny rivers. Captains John A. Vi ood, W. B. Rodger. A. J. Gould, Mallory, Boles, Bowman and Nelson testified before the committee and also made short speeches. Captain Woods suggested an electric lamp be placed at the Davis Island dam. Colonel Merrill stated that the best way to secure that would be to petition the Secretary of War, which will probably be done. The. rlvermen want reglaU on bridges instead of the present arc lights. PROJECTS- PENDING. The Mnch-Desired Free Bridge Across to the Sohthside MAY BE COSSTEUCTED NEXT YEAR. Another Hundred Thousand Will Probably Ee Sufficient. GOOD PROSPECTS FOR THE NEW AEM0EI In all probability the proposed free bridge across the Monongahela river will be well under way at this time next year. Possibly it will be completed. In the appropriation of last spring 150,000 vras set aside .for bridges. Of this ?30,000 was used for the Larimer and Forward avenue bridges, leav ing $100,000 for the Monotigahela bridge. This amount, it was understood, was to be set aside and additional appropriations made to it each year until enough money was se cured to build the bridge. From present estimates it looks as though next year's ap propriation will be sufficient. Controller Morrow said yesterday: "The money set aside for the "bridge to the Southstde is treated as a reserve fund and will not be allowed to revert to the sinking fund as other amounts are when not used up at the end of the fiscal year. It will be held for the purpose intended until the fund is large enough to accomplish the desired end. If a bridge can be built for $200,000 it can be started earljrnext spring, as Councils will doubtless set aside another $100,000 for that purpose in the next appro priation ordinance." Bridges Much Cheaper. "A bridge can be built for $150,000 or $200,000" said A. F. Keating, "unless the city desires to go into the matter very deeply and erect something beyond the ordinary. Bridges are much cheaper now than they used to be." On October 12 Mr. Benz introduced in Se lect Conncil the following resolution: WnEUKAS, Councils ppropriated$100,000 for the purpose of buildiuj; or buying a bridge across the Monongahcla river; and Whereas, It appears that no active steps have been taken to ascertain wunt measures are necessary to bring about this much needed free communication between the Old City and Southside; therefore, be it Resolved, That a committee of five, two from Select and three from Common Coun cils, in conjunction with the Chief of the Department of Public Works, be appointed for the purpose of ascertaining all neces sary information about buying or locating and building a free bridge acrosj aforesaid river, and all other preliminaries to carry on the aforesaid project, and report the same to Councils within CO days from date thereof. It passed both branches and the following Councilmen were appointed on the commit tee: Messrs. Benz, Robertson, Flinu, Fox and Taggert. So far as conld be learned yesterday this committee has not held a meeting yet. Thirty days remain before its report will be due. A Contest in Sight. As to the location of the bridge no action has been taken and few suggestions have yet been made. Chief Bigelow said yester day it would depend largely on what the people of the Southside want. The bridge will be chiefly for their benefit and they will have most to say about where it shall be. The vicinity of Soho on even farther up the river has been spoken of owing to the fact that it would provide a short route from the Southside to. Schenley Park and the Carnegie Library. Property owners in various parts of the Sonthsule are anxious to have the bridge near them and a lively contest is expected before the site will be decided. Another prospective improvement in the city is a new armory building where the old Fifth Avenue Market House now stands. A well-known military man said yesterday the project had not been dropped by any means. Several causes, which he did not care to speak about, have delayed matters thus far, but the prospect for a start in the work before many months is promising. Ocean Steamship Arrivals- Steamer.

No; that's going a little too far. There have to be steels in it- Steels will break. We don't mean the steels; but they are not the part that troubles corset-breakers. What we mean is the "bones" don't break. The reason is they are Kabo, not bones at all; and Kabo doesn't break This corset that never breaks is the Kabo, mysterious Kabo, wonderful Kabo. Let every corset-breaker make the ac quaintance of Kabo. If the corset doesn't suit you after wearing a week or two or three, bring it back to us and get your money; and, if the Kabo breaks or kinks in a year, come back for your money. This should be guarantee enough to sell hundreds of these Corsets every day. Will it? It's for you to say. 81, 83, 85, 87 ana 89 Fifth Avenue. DO8-108-MWT HE-NO TEA WHOLESALE AND KL AIL, GEO. K.'
