PETER THE PUGILIST.
Ou His Way to tie Springs for His
Heal.
5-1 l'S HE WILJs JtE HEART FJt O jr.
Si-ccial by Tho Uxitkd Paisa.1
Sax Frakcisco, Dec 20. Among
the passengers on tho ATariposa, was
Peter Jackson, the colored pugilist.
He was very reticent about fighting
Mobbersand especially about his
recent set-to with Goddard. He
looked well, but said he was "not the
Peter of yore."
"I can't say anything abont my
future for at least several weeks my
match with Slavin at Melborno is off
as is also my match with Goddard. I
wouldn't fight in Melbourne. God
dard and Dooley fought in Melborne,
and Dooley was done out of the fight,
although Goddard beat him in the
end. I was satisfied that a Sydney
man could not get square deal before
the Melbourne club and for that rea
son I refused to go there."
"Will you and Slavin meet in the
near future?'
"It i3 probable that Slavin and I
will meet in Melbourne but not
before the Melbourne Athletic Club.
The Sydney Athletic Club has offered
3,000 for a fight between Slavin and
myself and will give Goddard and me
1,500, but there is no use of my talk
ing fight for some time as I am sick.
I am worn out and intend to go direct
to Byron springs where I will remain
until I feel better. Yes, I am going
to England, but I can't tell you what
for as yet."
"What about Corbett?"
"As to Mr. Corbett he never said
anything to me about fighting and so
I shall not say anything about Corbett
at present. All I heard about him
was through papers while I was in
Australia. "When I get over my pres
ent illness you may rest assured that
the people of America will hear from
me."
An Equivalent for Sniclde.
If we allow our bodily infirmities to make
away with us through neglect, have we such
an immense moral advantage over the de
liberate suicide? Scarcely. For example,
the deadly progress ot Brlght's disease, di
abetes, acute nepliitis and gravel Is sure
olten terribly swift In the catastrophe. Most
people of average information know that
this is the simple, unvarnished truth in re
gard to those widely prevalent maladies.
To delay judicious medication is specially
suicidal in such cases. The means of re
straint is to be found inHostetters Stituach
Bitters. Give an Impetus -to the action of
the kidneys with this safe and reliable
diuretic, aud the infant complaint Is shorn
at its birth of the power for evil. Allow it
to grow, and anticipate the worst. Tho
Bitters, which annihilates these growing
troubles, also eradicates dyspepsia, rheuma
tism, malarial and liver complaints. Appe
tite, sleep and -vigor are also promoted
by it.
