Ready For a Theological Fl Int.

BosToN, Nov. 30.-Pr0f. j. G. Smythe
to-day filed with the board of directors of An
dover Theological seminary reply to the
amended charges preferred against him and
four other professors and which were made
public on Nov. Is. The professors were
notified to answer on or before the 9th and
the meeting of visitors was called for the
goth to consider the reply and fix time
for the hearing. However on the 9th the
professors. acting under the advice
of counsel. instead of replying to the
charge. took exceptions to the rulings OF
the board of visitors made on the
25th and goth of October. and prayed that
said amended complaint be dismissed. Last
evening the board of visitors held meet
ing and after an informal discus
sion voted that the prayers of
the respondents to dismiss the amended
complaints he overruled and the respond
ents excepted through counsel. 1t was
also voted that further hearing be had in
Boston Dec. %. The replies of the pro-
fessors were made public tonight over the
signature of Prof. Smythe. After calling
attention to the number and character OF
the charges brought against him. he says:
Such accusations have no reality to me. L
welcome them if for an, reason you deem
such scrutiny necesS ary or useful. The more
searching the examination into the accusa-
tons now preferred the better. | shall be
plea ed to expedite and facilitate such ex-
animation to the full extent of my power.

LoND ON, Nov. 3O.-Knfton. who was
to have fought a prize fight with bare
knuckles to finish with ,Jem Smith in
Paris to-day for the heavy weight cham
pi0nship Of England and heavy stakes
backed out at the last moment and refused
to go to the battle ground. The man had
been in active and close training for the en-
counter for several weeks, and the interest
taken in the event was widespread and in
tense. The amount of money up in wagers
was large. Last evening. all the prelimi-
naries having been satisfactorily arranged,
train load of prominent sporting men and
aristocrats went to Paris to witness the bat
tie. The only reason Knifton gave for his
conduct was that he found the number of
Smiths adherents who would attend the
fight was SO much greater than the number
of his own friends would be present that he
feared he would be unable to ATTAIN fair
play. and so concluded to abandon a con
test which he felt convinced would be hope
less tor him under the circumstances.

sHER1DAN,s PROPOSITION.

Gen. SHERIDAN'S proposition regarding
the solution of the Indian problem is one
which will find hearty acceptance among
all who have given the subject any atten-
ton. In brief he asserts that the only sat-
lsfactory method of dealing with the
Indians is to alIOt them lands i'll severaltv,
sell the surplus lands and allow them i'll
terest on the proceeds for their mainte-
nance. A half section of land suitable for
farming could thus be granted each one of
the 300, 600 Indians and enough sold be-
sides to produce an annual income of
nearly S., 000 600, exceeding by half
million the entire sum now appropriated to
be expended on behalf of the Indians.
Since game has begun to disappear the
large reservations are of no use as hunting
grounds. and an extremely small
portion of them would suffice
for all purposes of farming. The
large surplus is practically wasted. Should
it pass out of the control of the Indians the
case would be different. Not only would a
farming community become possessed of
the rich soil, but the presence of practical
farmers as neighbors would afford the In
dams opportunities for instruction. and
would thus be of incaIculabe benefit in
civiliZing them and in rendering them self
supporting. Until the Indians can be made
to feel their responsibility under the law
and the necessity for eXerting themselves,
they will be Nothing hut the saiftless i'm
prOvident race that they now are: but the
adoption of SHERIDAN's proposition would
be calculated to call forth any dormant
energy they MAY possess and would at least

best type of the American girl; one who,
disdaining dependence, works cheerfully
and bravely for her own living and
yet retains all the graces which fashion,
able women are prone to fancy they
should monopolize. 1t is an evidence that

IHE CONDEMN. ANARCHISTS.
They Find Friends in the Cook
County knights of La Dor.

CHICAGO, Nov 30.-A joint meeting of
the Knights of Labor District Assemblies
"a and AZ, which have membership
Of about 10000, and include
all the Knights in this city
and county was held tonight to take action
concerning the trial and sentence of con-
demned anarchists District Assembly "a
recently passed resolutions OH the subject,
and asked No. AZ to indorse them. The
latter body decided that the sub
ject was of such importance that
a joint session of both assemblies should be
held at which all the Knights of Labor OF
Cook county should be represented. About
400 Knights were present and the following
declaration of their attitude on the verdict
was agreed to, with only few dissenting
voices:
We believe the verdict in the recent trial
condemning seven men TO death and SEN
fencing one to fifteen years imprisonment,
was an outrage upon common justice and an
assault on free speech and the rights OF the
people to peaceably assemble for the discus
sion of their grievances. We believe that there
is an ever increasing sentiment among the
common people OF this country that our
courts of justice are too frequently manlpu-
lated in theinterest of wealth and power, and
that rights are frequently outraged in our
courts in the name of the law. Believing
that the late trial was conducted by the prose-
cution with malice aud prejudice, utilizing
as II did n !ormers, the dlsreputable Pinker-
tons and perjured Gilmers and bailif, who
declared that he would not summon any one
as juror who, in his opinion, was not in
favor of hanging. We therefore
express the hope that the supreme
court of the state of Illinois
may grant new trial so that the ever grow
ing conviction among the common people,

Ballet OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES -
Bounced.
ST.. LOUIS. Nov. 30.-Meyerbeer's
'.Huguenots" was presented for the first
time by the American Opera company TO-
night, and great success was achieved.
The opera makes heavy demands on COM
pany in long cast. and calls for great
resources in the ensembles, but the Amer
lean company was more than equal to the
occasion. The scenery and costumes were
entirely new and superb. The ballet made
a distinct hit and the orchestra and chorus
did splendid work. Bertha Pierson. who
was substituted for Nine. Fursch- Madl,
and who was heard here for the hrst time,
made great success as Valentine ana
Pauline LaLlemand produced furore py
her brilliant singing as the queen. All
the other leading parts were unusually
well taken, and the audience was large ana
very enthusiastic. The management OF
the American Opera company furnishes
the following card to the public in reply to
the action of the Evangelical alliance touch
ing the ballet, mention of which was maze
in these dis patches last night:
The grace and beauty of the ballet have all
ways been recognized as an appropriate and
harmless accompaniment of lyric art Beau
tiful stage pictures are perhaps the nearest
possible approach to heavenly scenes. To
the pure all things are pure, and
the management of the National
Opera company desires to do all
possible within the domain of artistic and
historical reason to meet the religious feeling
of the country, 1t respectfully submitted,
however, that to condemn without seeing is
neither Christian like nor reasonable, and
that the action of section of the clergy of
ST. Louis can scarcely commend itself to a
fair minded people.
Trouble in the American Opera company
has begun early in their engagement.
Yesterday the ministers of the Evangelical
alliance denounced the ballet and advised
their parishiOnerS to avoid those perform
ances at which the ballet preduminated.
To-day it develops that Nine. Fursch- Madi
is being disciplined and will not appear dur
ing the engagement in this city. At a
rehearsal yesterday the property manager
had placed table in the center of the
stage, and not in its usual position. Nine.
Fursch- Madl stumbled over it. and refused
to proceed with the rehearsal until it was
removed The stage manager informed the
madame that the table would not be re-
moved. Nine. Fursch Madl refused to
sing. and the rehearsal broke up. Manager
Locke now says that she has been 'laid
Off for time. and will not appear until
the decision of the board of directors on
her case is received.

The ordinance Absurd.

Winter is here and with it the snow fall.

relating to the ordinance requiring hem to

The ordinance is absurd. When the owners
dedi Gated the streets. sidewalks, etc., to the
public the city undertook to keep them clean
and passable. The city might with equal
propriety require lot-owners to clean up the
INDUSTRIOUS heaps which the street railway is

the work is by the city for the public, which
it represents. Yours truly, j. B. BRIsBIN.
