EX - CHAMPION JIM CORBETT TALKS PLAINLY TO A RE PORTER.

HE IS NOT DK i'L-T. (From the St. Louis, M ~ Chronicle). Coki'.i-.tt, attired in a frock coat of tho period, plug hat, and shed in patent leathers, sat in his ;.p rtinents in the Southern Hotel, at M. Louis, the other day, at d delivered himself of a few opinions to a repoiter. "I am bigger, better and stronger tli"ii ever before," rcplicl the champion when asked about his health. " The rheumatic complaint that held me captive off and on sonic time ago has It ft me completely, and I know I am cured of it. I contracted rheumatism before training for my fight with Peter Jackson," continued Corbctt. " How I got it or where I got it is a mystery to me, but that I had it is a fact that I am not likely to forget soon. I suflVrcd a good dod with rheumatism after that fijdit. Some days my anvs, wrists and fingers would be so stilF and swollen that I could noi use them at all. My legs also pained me, but to a less degree. Then, again, all this would leave without any apparent reason, and I would not bo troubled again for weeks. Of coarse, I doctored for my complaint continuously, but the attacks seemed to come every few weeks just the same. A sho> 'time after my fight with Jackson I wcj East and met and defeated ' .iniiiick M'Cafl'rey, though 1 was handic pped by rheumatism in my right leg in my on counter with M'L'alTrey. These periodical attacks of rheumatism affected me until a few weeks before I began training for my light with Mitchell. One day I sat in the Coleman House, New York. My eye chanced to cross an advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I had never heard of them before, and as an experiment purchased a box. I consumed two boxes and was pleased with the results, for the pains bei'an to leave my arms and legs. After taking four boxes according to directions I found myself sreatly improved. The improvement is permanent, 1 am sure, for I haven't been troubled with rheumatism since. Before using the pills the rheumatic attacks returned every month or so, especially if I caucht a cold. When 1 trained for my light with Mitchell in Florida I suffered from malaria, and used the pills as a tonic with splendid results. I found that Dr. Williams' Pink Rills were cllicacious in building up the system alter a malarial attack. " The above I attest as entirely correct, "Sigred, JAS. J. CORBETT." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills arc a sure iciiiedy for Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Paralysis, Locomotor Ataxy, St. Vitus' Dance, .Nervous Headache, Scrofula, Chronic Erysipelas, etc. They arc not a purgative, hut they restore pale and yellow complexions to the glow of health, and aro a specific for troubles peculiar to the fenuue, while in men they efiect a radical cure in all cases arising from woiry, overwork, or excess of any nature. Or. Williams' Rink Rills arc obtainable from ull leading chemists, or Ironi the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., who will torwaul (post [iaid), on receipt of stamps or peist-otlicc order, I box lor 3s, or half-a do/.en for los Od. As there arc a number of worthless substitutes offered for sale by unscrupulous chemists, ihe Proprietors would wain intending rurehasers that the gi nunc Hi-. Williams' Rink Rills for Rale l'i ople are put up in wooden boxes about 2.') inches long and 1 inch thick. Do not accept pills put up in r-,!ass bottles or p lis sold by the dozen or handled.

BURGLAR'S WEAKNESSES. e Evkn burglars have their weaknesses, and weaknesses at times far from conducive to the success of their bushiest. Upon several occasions they have been so fatigued by their labours that they have indulged too freely in the content* of the cell ni-tte, an I have fallen i ti stub a sound sleep as not to wake mi ii a po'i-.-e n placed his hands on their collars in the mo ning. But one. could In I'd ly have imagined so strange a case of oigetfllluess as lb it tli»|>l yed by tuo burglar ]>j .songor.s be. ween <J rdill and l/'vo pool. At Shrewsbury, they got out, an pa.SMMlgt is will yet out, to partake of 1 (piid refreshments, and stopped so lung that tl.c train went on without I hem. This iniglil happen to anyone, but would not happen to many pers.ns who bail left valuable properly in ih railway ewriage, us was the ease with thi two men in qnestic>:). No soor.er had they woke up to the fact that th y had been le t behind, while the (rain with its parcel was speeding on to Crewe, th n I lit} telegraphed to that station that their parcel w.is to be s-nt on to B rkenhoad Station pari els cilice, there to remain till called for. The appearance of the pared awakened the suspicions of the oliicia's at Crewe, who thereupon took upon themselves to iu-ve-tigate it, and found it to contain thirty watches, chains, ring-', and oilier articles of jewellery. The parcel was s-nt on to Birkenhead, but in charge of a detective. Two or three times in the course of the afternoon, a man had made inquiries for it, and called again at seven in ihe cvcn'iig, by which time the parcel with its escort had ailived. The man was requested to write a receipt for it, and was then p cmp'ly arrested. Upon him were found some breast pins which wvre ident tied as part of the robbery at a jeweller's .shop at Cardiff. It is probable, that when again at liberty to travel together-, these careless passenge s will not leave their carriage bctwem their place of departure and their destiua'ion, even for the purposes if obtaining refresliineu's, but will take the precaution of carrying a bottle with them.
