against the champion. He has been
playing steadily, and says he is in good
form. He and Clearwater will continue
to practice amicably, on the same table,
until the opening of the game, next

that the purse is being given by Harry
Davis. Mr. Davis, or his representa

ing, however, Charles Allum, who has
lieen behind Clearwater ever since he
began to play In public, said last night
that he Is backing Clearwater still, and
continues willing to back him against
any man In the world. He does not
tinder-rate Keogh, of whom he declares
that he will give Clearwater a hard run,
but he has lust nothing of his faith In.

Rheumatism Cured in 24 Hours,
T. 3. Blackmore, of Haller 4 Black
more, Pittsburg, Pa., says: "A short
time since I procured a bottle of "Mys
tlo Cure.' It got me out of the house
In twenty-four hours. I took to my bed
with rheumatism nine months ago and
the 'Mystic Cure is the only medicine
that did me any good. I had five of the
best physicians In the city, but I re
ceived very little relief from them. I
know the 'Mystic Cure' to be what It
is represented and take pleasure in rec
ommending it to other poor sufferers."
