Flit Will Avoid Pugilism for nt t.enet Two Years, i Carson, Nev., March 19. Fltzsim mcms, the new champion pugilist of the world, took things easy yesterday. In the morning he walked over to the penitentiary and took a bftth, and for the balance ot the day loafed around the house. He looked In excellent shape! and the pounding he received in the ring Wednesday from Corbett did not show to the extent that might have been expected. Ills lower Up Was cut quite badly, and was covered liber ally with court plaster, but this was the only thing about him that gave any indication of the ordeal he had gone through. One thumb was tied up, and Hot) explained that he had hurt it on Corbett's head in the first round, and that it gave him much trouble during the fight. "There was no time during the fight," he said, "when I was not con fidant of winning. In the fifth and sixth rounds, when they say Corbett had me going, I had no doubt what ever in my mind that I was going to bo the winner of the right. After the sev enth I kept getting stronger and fresh er all the time, and he was getting weaker. I knew that I could end the fight with a punch or two when I had a good chance to land on him, and I knew I was going to outlast him when it came to the question of en durance. I knocked him out just as I knocked out Sharkey, the only differ ence being that this time I got credit for what I did. I have shown that I could tire him out If I had not a chance to knock hlrn out, and of course I took that chance. Regarding his future movements Fita said: "I have not decided Just what 1 will do, but one thing is certain, and that is that I will not light any more for at least two years. It has been at least three years since Corbett fought anybody for the championship, and 1 am not going into any finish contests for two years myself. During that tlmg I may decide to fight again, and I may not. It all depends upon how I feel. I am getting along in years, and two years more on my present age will bring me not far from 40, and that la rather a mature age for any man to engage in a finish contest. However, I will not say now what I will do. 1 shall pay no attention to the challenges made by Goddard, Mitchell and Shar key."

RELIEF FWDS ftlJjlfllJiG LOW I The Station Will be Clotd After To night rending: Improvements. A CLERGYMAN'S GIFT AND LETTER The Distributing Committee lias Issued All the Orders It Cam ta ttit at Frti ent and PraoMoallf ftas Only Potatoes on Hatt4. It cannot be said that the relief work in be half of the distressed worthy poor of the town lias been productive of msny fruitful result during the past few demand if there Is to be genuine relief extended to these people there certainly mutt be much more work of a more earnest ehstacler than is displayed in many quarters. Dut as the oasis appears to the weary traveler on the desert, so the following graceful letter strikes the mind of those Who at engaged in tlm noble, but somewhat tUtcon raging work. It is written by Ilev. A. if, atrlukas, the curate of St. Oeorge's Lithuanian Roman Catholic church, on South Jartin street, and is published in full that the imblle may know tho excellent spirit eutertrnit by the rev erened gentleman; "To EDITOR OP EVBNUW IlKRAU t Dkau Sib : Ilavlue been mr last week. and having had hard work fot fVnr days this week in our church during and ofter forty hours' devotion, I could not pay sufficient attention to the generous efforts oftrarcltlseus tor the relief or the sulleriiueami the needy. From what I hate noticed,- Umugfi, I am persuaded that the EvstriKft llBtlALI) ought to bo credited with the very" excellent nnd beneficial work it has done for the relief movement. 'Tlesse flud enclosed a clieek for $10, which you will kindly transmit to tho treasurer of tho rellof committee. louts reepeotrally, "A. M.'illLUSKAS." Tho generous personal donation comes in excellent timo to servo as an inceutlvoto others to display a charitable spirit, as the rellof station is now sorely in need of help. Last night sixty families were given aid there and they reduced the stock and funds in hand so much that the distributing com mittee was almost tempted last night to close the station and keep the door closed until sucli time as tho donations should assume a more healthy shape, but it was finally decided to open the station again to-night and dispose of what remains on hand, and then close the doors until further notice. The ontire supply of flour has beon exhausted and there is practically only a supply of potatoes on hand. The re lief extended last night was principally through orders issued on stores and they havo multiplied to such aii oxtent that tho distributing committee fears it has exhaustod tbo funds in tho bauds of the treasurer nnd will issue no more until tho general committee meets aud a recapitulation can be made. The general committee will hold a meeting in tho Council chamber at eight o'clock to-night and it Is hoped members of all tho sub-committees will be in attendance. The committco on entertainment will hold a meeting at tho samo place' just before the general committee meets. All storekeepers who have been filling orders issued by tho distributing committco aro requested to send in their bills to-night. Do You Wear u Hut?

The anthracite trade is in a somewhat firmer condition, aud, as our reports have shown during the past three weeks, mere nave been indications of a re turn of strength to this important industry. Thoro is no longer tho rush to sell at any prico; in fact, the sales at present are in very small lots, and it is a fact that the restriction of the supply to the market requirements has been better maintained during the post six weeks than has been usual in recent years. It is this which gives that strength which is noticeable to the market, and so long as that view is taken by certain of those who are in control, there will be better results in the price realised. When it is possible to bring the dosen persons who are at the head of the producing companies, to a unanimity of action, then there will be an ond to tho destructive competition which has been noted in recent years, and this fuel will be sold at a price commensurate witli its value. A proper regard for the law of supply and demaud is all that is needed, ani con certed action upon this point is imperative.
