As years of age. He is extremely

''Those who have read the reports
Of the proceedings of the Colored
State Teachers Association during

them much to cause feeling of
qualification. The proceedings have
been characterized by perfect pro
priety and good taste. The papers
read have been on practical subjects
and the discussions have all been on
some useful theme. The resolutions
have all been couched in the best of

are ample proof in themselves that a

Will KiIrain Accept?

New York, April 27.-Richard K. Fox,
Kilrain's backer, slys of Sulliyan's challenge
to fight in a sixteen-foot ring for $4,000
side: Everyone is aware that Kilrain is
the champion of the world, and. he holds the
Police Gazette diamond belt, which repre-
sents the championship, and which he is
ready to defend against all comers who chal-
lenge him to battle with them according to
the rules governing the belt and the cham
pOnship If Sullivan is in earnest about
meeting Kllrain for the championship he
forfeited last June it would be in order for
him to deposit $1,000 with the New York
Clipper or Sporting Life London, and issue
a challenge in the regular way to contend
for $1,000 or $1,000 and the championship,
according to the rules governing the title,
and l am sure Kilrain will accept.
$50 far as a sixteen-foot ring goes, Kilrain
might consent to change the rules just to &C
commodate Sullivan. But he would not for
felt his claim TO the championship if he re-
fused to do So If Kilrain agrees to meet
Sullivan, as am sure he will, the cham
ponship is at stake, and | shall be ready to
furnish him with any amount of stakes,
from $4,000 to $40, 900 a side. I have cabled
to Kilrain about Sulliyans challenge, and
am awaiting his reply"
Kilrain writing from London of the Sulli-
van Mitchell battle says: Charley made a
grand fight with John L. II is an injustice
to say that he did nothing but run around
the ring. Charley got first blood and
blacked both Johns eyes, besides putting his
lips up in good shape About a sixteen-foot
ring, why they fought in a spot less than
twelve feet. 1t was a good fight, in fact
grand fight. As regards Ashton, he is try
ing to bluff, but he cannot get away with it
this time"

The Big-Fisted Bully Breaks the Rules of

McCaffrey and Smith-Other Notes.
BosroN, April 27--John L. Sullivan
donned a dress suit Wednesday night and
was banqueted at the Quincy house by 125
of his friends Sullivan was late in making
his appearance, and his friends testified to
his greatness by waiting without a murmur
from Z 80 until $40. At that hour Johns
athletic form emerged from a hack on the
street, and the crowd of hoodlums separated
to let him pass, and gazed on the fighter in
silent admiration.
The pugilist was accompanied by his
father Harry Phillips, and his fidus
Achates, Mr. Sylvie Booker, of Dorchester.
Three Hundred sports, dudes, Harvard stu
dents and small boys, crowded the lobby,
office and bar-room of the house and cheered
as the slugger came in. The bar did driv-
ing business.
After John had been toasted the champion
was introduced, and received an ovation
which lasted several minutes. Sullivan
bowed with quiet dignity as the applause in
creased, and when it ceased said:
II thank you one and all for this reception
and as Bostonian, hope l deserve it, l am
not prepared to make a speech and what
say will be short | went away August q

of the world l failed Do you know l tried

Important Real 4 .tate safes.

Several large real estate sales have
taken place in the city in the past forty
eight hours. Mr. William r. Rison sold
twelve acres of land heretofore used as
pasture, west of and adjoining the Fair
Grounds. to Mr.. Holmes Earl, of New
Jersey and Robert S. Halsey, Of this city
for $500, Gen. Samuel II. Moore sold
to Mr.. Charles III. Halsey his one fourth
interest in the vacant lot adjoining the
Cotton Factory oD Jefferson street for
$1,000. About twelve months since Gen.
for $4,000, the General reserving for
himself a one fourth interest. The sale
the one fourth interest by General
Moore for $4,000 marks an increase OF
one hundred per cent in the last twelve
months. This shows gradual and sub
stantial increase in the value of real es-
tate in the city. Other sales of less mag
nitude have been made within the past
few days to strangers who are here look
iIS iOi iiOuICO. lHC liOSt
feature of the recent sales is that strang
ers are coming into our midst and making
purchases. 1t is encouraging too to
know that our own people have conf
dence in the future OF Huntsville, and
are freely investing their surplus means
in real estate. 1t is certainly true that
home folks must have confidence in their
town before strangers can be induced to
invest their money. What we more de
sire is that our people should not be
seized with a boomerang" and place
exorbitant prices on their property. The
outlook for Huntsville is certainly of the
most encouraging character, and our
prospects will grow brighter and brighter
if our people who have property for sale
will be content with fair and reasonable
profits. We must adopt the golden rule
OF ''live and let live" We are now at
the beginning OF realizing the benefits OF
the prompt and generous action of our
citizens in behalf OF the Tennessee q
Coosa Railroad.
