Women in the Prize Ring.

The cause of womau's rights moves for
ward quite as satisfactorily as its most en-
! thusiastic advocate could wish. There is
hardly any calling or profession open to
men which is not open to women also, and
as general thing, members of the gentler
sex have demonstrated their ability to fill
positions which, twenty-fi years ago, it was
not dreamed they would occupy. They
compete with men in the professions and in
the sala1ed positions; they have entered
| the lecture field, and have taken the stump
in political compaIgn; they occupy the
editorial chair and fill the pulpit; some Of
them fashion their clothing after that of
man, and now two of them have entered
the prize ring
1t was last Sunday morning, near Buff
falo, that the encounter took place, the com
batants being Mrs Leslie, young woman
OF 20 summers, and Miss Leary, age not
stated, and somewhat uncertain, but weight
$40. 1t appears that the fight, which was
conducted according to Marquis of Queens
berry rules, and which was witnessed by
some fifty Buffalo sports to whom the
tip had been given, was hotly
contested from the beginning of the first
round to the end of the seventh, when the
Leslie woman rushed upon her opponent
and pounded her so severely that the COM
bat terminated, and the vanqushed party
OF unknown age was borne bleeding off the
scene. Both of the pugilists had been re-
freshed at the end of every round or two
with the contents of a whisky bottle, and
when they left the ring neither was in con-
dltlon to appear at church.
Haven't women got about all the rights
they need without invading the prize ring?
This thing of pounding another persons
face into jelly for the delectation of
crowd of sporting characters is brutal
enough when engaged in by men, but it is
shocking IN the extreme when women en-
gage in it. The contest near Buffalo, it is
hoped, will be the first and last in which
women are the combatants

Proctor's Last Essays.

A series of popular scientific articles, by
nent astronomer and author, will appear in
the MORNING NEWS on the dates announced
below.
The article in this series upon "Plagues
and Pestilence" was received only the week
before the authors DEATH and was written
apropos of the yellow fever in Florida.
Indeed the whole series is Prof. Proctor's
last popular scientific w6k for newspaper
publication.
They are expected to attract great atten-
ton throughout the whole country, and will
prove a valuable addition to scientific lore
which no one can we'll afford to lose. They
were obtainable by the MORNING NEWS
only on account of its prominence in the
world of journalism, and have an especial
interest for the newspaper readers of the
southeast

A Word to oolored People.

There are too many idlers in every south
ern community. The communities in which
! all are workers are the most prosperous.
| Where the idlers are about equal in num-
Der to the workers progress toward wealth
and a better condition of affairs is slow.
! The idlers eat up the surplus of the workers.
The colored people, as rule, are not in
! dustrious, and they certainly are not thrifty.
( OF course some of them work steadily, but
very large perc ,ntage of them work only
enough TO enable them to get the bare neces-
sites OK life. Their homes are cherries,
and their surroundings are, to the last de
gree, comfortless.
Many colored people make 1t point to
work about half the time. They accept en-
ployment two or three days in a week and
go fishing, or lounge idly about their cabins,
the remainder of the time. In every city
and town it is not difficult to find hundreds
of them summing themselves at their cabin
doors, or hanging around the grog shops,
or comfortably sleeping in places where
they are not likely to be disturbed.
A prominent colored man of this city,
speaking Of the idle habits of his race a day
or two ago, said that idleness and thrift
lessneSs were on the increase among the col
ored people of this city. He said that it
did no good to speak to them about it, and
that colored men who offered their race
good advice only made themselves unpopu-
lar. The colored young men and women.
he added, resent any criticism on them for
their idle habits, and their parents rather
uphold them in being impertinent to those,
either white or black, who are entitled to
their respect on account of age or superior
qualifications.
1t is evident to the most casual observer
that the young colored people of the present
day have very little idea Of what consti-
tutes decent behavior. They are seldom
polite except to their employers, and some
times they forget what is due even to them.
The young colored people need better train
ing. They should be taught to be indus
trious, thrifty and polite. Until they are,
there is not much reason to hope that the
colored race will make much progress

The massive form of Julius Caesar Schmidt

Julius goodnaturedly answered Them much to

from Warsaw, Poland, and never got mad until
he was asked if he was exed for attempting to

his feelings, and babe him go out into the wide
world to continue his quest for work.

The news that yellow fever has broken
out in Decatur, Ala, will be received with
regret by people all over the country, and
1t will also cause increased fear lest the dis
ease should spread to other cities and states.
Heretofore the fever has been confined to
Florida and it seemed probable that other
states would escape, but now that it has
been carried into Alabama by a refugee.
there will be still greater appreciation of
the Importance of maintaining the strictest
quarantine against ali infected or suspected
points. No quarantine that can be e,tab-
lished is likely to be too rigid.
Decatur is one of number of thriving
and rapidly growing Alabama cities. A
few years ago it was small town; now it
has put on the airs of city. 1t has been
called the coming city of Alabama. Of
course, il the fever becomes epidemic there,
Decatur's progress will be greatly retarded

their hands so plainly that no one could help

bill or not, they have .hown by their vacil-
lating course that they don't know which
way to turn. They hold a very poor hand.

Congressman Thomas B. Reed, of Maine,
has been talking to New York Tribune
reporter about the result of the recent cleo
ton in that state. Says be: 1.-THE demo-
Gratis know that in 1884 they made no fight,
had no money and no organization, and
that this year their organization has been
of the best, and that if they wanted any
more money than they had, it must have
been because they desire to use money in
way horribly inconsistent with their high,
though recent, reputation for economy and
reform. No democrat, even the most timid,
expected we would have 1900, and no re-
publican, even the most sanguIne, expected
more than $4,000" This doesn't alter the
fact that the republican ma jority this year
is nearly l 500 less than it was in 1884, and
that the democrats polled over 1000 more
votes this year than they did four years
ago, while the republicans polled only 691
more. No harm is done by again calling
the attention of the public to these facts.

A CoMMoN-sENsE DUCHESS.
How Her Grace of Sutherland
Shocked the SweIls.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
The late Duchess of Sutherland was,
during the active period of her life. the
cause of 10 little bewilderment and
disquietude among TIE rank-revering
denizens Of that aristocratic section OF
st. James where Stafford House stands
in gloomy grandeur. Her common-sense
methods of securing convenience, with
out regard to ceremonious fOrmalitles,
often startled the devoteeS of cOnven-
tionality and thrilled the observers with
anxiety lest her grace be led astray by
the example of her husband, whose
"fad'' it was to mingle with the populace
on exciting occasions. such as midnight
fires and riots like that of Hyde
Park some twenty years ago. Ridlcu-
lOuS as it may seem to republican read
erS. the duchess was severely criticised
for the habit of walking forth alone
from her Somber mansion and calling
cab when in hurry, instead of letting
a half hour go to waste while the cum
berSOme vehicle appropriate to her sta
ton should be made ready.
The entire precinct was once thrown
into fiutter by the report, doubtless
correct, that she had personally entered
the little bakery i'll st. James street, in
which a postal agency had been estab-
lished, and had there purchased stamps
and affixed them to her letters, precisely
as one of the untitled multitude might
have done.
In the winter of 1869 the sentinel who
mounts guard over the palace wall OF
Cleveland row had the opportunity of
relieving his dreary routine by saving
child from being run Over--a radical
cab-horse from Pail Mall having SO for
gotten the prophecies as TO break loose
and endanger human life, as we'll as the
drowsy tranquility of that solemn re-
giOn. A day or two later the Duchess
was seen to stop and speak to the
guardSman. who was so overcome by
agitation that he could hardly hold his
rifle steady. He would have faced the
lannon's mouth with less trepldatlon
than exchange ten words with this eX-
allied peeresS. The presumption was that
her grace desired simply to say a
kind word in COMMUNICATION OF the mans
behavior; but the proceeding was re-
garded with anything but approval by
the resident spectators. The verdict OF
the austere middle class throughout the
neighborhOod was that the duchess had
been reprehensibly unmindful OF the
dignity of her position, and that she
would have done better to send the SOL
der half crown by her footman. For
this and similar reasons she was not adj
mired by the bOurgeOiSe of London.
And yet there are people on both sides
of the Atlantic who profess to wonder
that the social sensibilities of Amerl-
cans and EngliShmen cannot at all
points be brought into sympathetic and
symmetrical accord.
