Bis Eyes in Buch a Serloua Condition That Both Julian andFltzalmmons Unhetltat- I lngly Consent to si Postponement of the Proposed Mill. ! KL Paso, Tex., Feb. 14. Now it is the ! eyes of Peter Mnhor that 1ms postponed the big fight. Iluok Connelly, one of Mn hor's seconds, came rushing to Stuart's of fice yesterdny afternoon with the Informn- ' tlon that Maher would not, because of his eyos, be in a condition to fight today, and saying that It would bo absolutely neces sary tohavoapostpononent. Ho said that Mailer's eyes had boon so badly Inflamed by sand blowing in them during his train ing that he could scarcely see Stuart nt onco sot to work to secure a postponement of tho time necessary to enablo Maher to get Into condition. According to tho con ditions of the match Maher and Fitzslm mons have each posted it forfeit of $1,000 to insure their apponrance in tho ring. Julian, when soon by Stuart, declined to accept tho statement of Connelly with out verification. Ho insisted that Maher should come to El Paso and submit to in spection to determine whether or not his oyes were in such a condition as stated by Connelly. If they were, then Julian de clared that Fitzslinmons would agrco to tho postponement and claim no forfeit. If they are not as badly inflamed ns reported ho would Insist upon the fight taking placo, and If Mnher failed to appear tho forfeit would bo claimed. I)au Stuart said: "If thoy agrco among themselves to post pono tho light I nm willing it should bo done, but I am ready to pull of tho fight on Feb. 14, just ns I havo always said I would do. Let tho men declare themselves ready nnd the fight is a certainty so far as I nm concerned." Mahor came to the city at 0 :80 last night. His eyes were tightly closed, nnd ho woro a green shade over them. Over tho green shade was a traveling cup with tho vizor pulled down close upon the nose to prevont the light from striking Ills eyes. Ho was compelled to allow Connelly nnd Hall to guido him to tho carriage, as ho was ut terly unable to open his oyes. The car riage was quickly driven to u llttlo brick building on an alley Just oft the Plaza. Tho newspaper representatives were sont for by Connolly, nnd Mnher's oyes wcro inspectod. They were swollon almost shut and with fluid coming from tho cornors. A raising of tho lids showed that tho oyo balls wero greatly Inflamed. Maher has been training In an oldndobo rink ntLas Cruces. Tho dust was so thick when ho was going through his training that visitors complained of it, and warned Maher ngalnst continuing work in an at mosphere of dust. Sunday one of his eyes began to pain him. Tuesday both eyes were affected, and the condition of tho fighter has been getting worso, until yes terday he oould not see. Mahcr's trouble Is not uncommon to this region. Kesldents are not so liable to it as thoso who havo boen hero but a short time. Tho alkali dust creates an irrita tion that results In bllndnoss nnd gront pain, but it usually passes ntvny In a week or ton days. An army surgeon', who ex amined Mailer's oyes, said ho thought they would bo well in u week. Dr. Ynniloll, city hoalth officer, who looked nt tho suf ferer today, said Maher would not bo ablo to enter a ring for a wook. Martin Julian nnd Fltzslmmons woro sent for ns soon ns Mahor was placed in n room. Both examined tho sufferer's oyes, expressed their sympathy for him and an nounced that they would not, under tho circumstances, claim a forfeit. It was finally decided that tho fight should be postponed until Monday at tho earliest. It Muhcr is not in Bliape to fight at that time Julian will decide us to what ho will do regarding his forfolt. Although Julian talks about his forfeit, ho really could do nothing clsa than agruo to the postponement, for ho has not ft cent ot monoy up ns forfeit, all of his $1,000 for feit being deposited by Stuart personally "Thoro will W a light," Dan Stuart snld. "I do not Intend to publish my plans to the country, und thereby forewarn and forearm my opponents, but thoro will boa fight.

It Is about time that the authorities nf the towns in this region stopped the disgraceful affairs that aro adveitiscd as "masquerade halls," Tho one held in Girardville on Tuesday night and that held hero last night show conclusively that they arej nothing short of conventions of notorious female characters. La-t night a horde of Sh.iuiokiu young women of notorious reputation made a display of themselves that aroused con demnation. This troop follows up the "masquerades" in the region. The people of Hazleton aro making a similar complaint and it is probable that tbe arrangements for the next masquerade" at that placo will ho scrutinized by the authorities. One effectivo step would ho the arrost of the women and girls responsible: for the condition of affairs, who shamelessly parade tho streets and publicly advertise their disgraceful calling. If some of them were arrested for disorderly conduct, as they deserve, decent people would lie spared much embarrassment. WuIhou House Free I.unch. Oyster soup to-night. Hot lunch to-morrow morning.

Exce'leut hot luuch to-night Important Meetings Held by Two Com mittees Last Night. CHARGES AGAINST TWO PUPILS. The High School Committee Sots an Example by Docldlng to Recommend the Per- I maneut Expulsion of Two Young Men for Immoral Conduct. Two committees of tho School Board held important meetings last night, one to con sider charges against two young men who at tended tho High school and the other to con sider tho question of continuing tho ovcnlng schools after the four-month term expires. In the former caso so much Indignation was aroused by the character of tho charges and the actiun of tho School Directors was swift and effective. It seems that while the High school class was before Principal Cooper yesterday after noon tho two young men charged wero guilty of gross immoral conduct. Tho lesson was on chemistry and Prof. Cooper's attention was so much occupied with the demonstra tions connected with tho lesson that it was impossible for him to detect tho behavior of the young men. After tho lesson, however, two of tho young women who had been offended laid tho matter before Miss Cline, the first assistant of the High school, who promptly communicated the facts to Super intendent Whitaker and a jneeting of tbe High school comniitteo was called at once. Iu addition to tho facts given abuvo it was charged before tho committee last night that tho accused young men had been guilty of carrying obscene literature into the school. Tho caso was placed before the committeo bv Superintendent Whitaker and Principal Cooper and the evidence was of such a con vincing charactor that the committee promptly decided to recommend at tho noxt meeting of tho School Board that the accused young men bo permanently expelled from the schools. This is the soverest sentence that has over been passed upon any pupil of the local schools, and no doubt is intended as an effectivo lesson to others in tho schools who may ho inclined to violato or jugglo the dis cipline. A member of the School Board said to-day that lectures and temporary suspen sions seem to havo no effect and each suc ceeding caso seems to be of a more aggravated character, so that tho Board has decided to henceforth deal with trangressers to the full extent of the rules. Without disciplino tho schools cannot be successfully conducted and those who would destroy the disciplino must bo dismissed irom tho ranks. Tho committee on evening schools dis cussed tho statistics of attendance at the schools with a view to ascertaining the cn- ourageinent given for keeping tho schools open for a six months' term, it was decided to await developments by the time the next meeting of tho School Board is held.

Mnnulx, tho newspaper correspon dent who Is about to bo expelled from Cuba by the Spuulsh ofiloials, has lodged a protest with tho stuto department through United States Consul Genornl Williams, tills will certainly not com mand any sympathy In his case, In view of tho record of tho proceedings of Mannlx, which is now iu tho possession ot tho state department. This record is in his own handwriting, In tho shape of letters ad dressed by him to certain officials, and shows clearly that he proposed to the Span ish authorities to uct as a spy upon the Cuban iusurgeuts; that he offored to bo tray to thorn a Cuban officer with whom ho slept, nnd thnt he proposed to cultivate a feeling of friendship toward tho Spanish cause lu tho United States through the medium of letters to the muuy nowspapers in tho United States, including the most important publications in this country, and all ot this for a consideration. In onti caso Mannlx offered if he woro appointed an olllcor lu tho Spanish army to comoout in a puhllo declaration to tho rll'ect that he, an Influential member of the Cuban party, hail left tho Cuban cause iu disgust with their notions. His letters also' .abound with nppoals to tho Spaniards (or money, and it is in evidence that he was negotiating with both sides iu Cuba. Ou tho wholo the officials hero con sider that Mauulx will be lucky to get away from Cuba on tho terms offered by the Spuulsh officials. Now Carpels For ca-h or easy terms at V. I).
