Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispach.I
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Dec. 3, 1890.
Tuesday afternoon the football teams
of Pantops Academy and Pages School
met on the keswick grounds. The game
had been looked forward to with keen
interest, owing to the fact that Page had
beaten Randolph Macon, which had pre-
viously defeated Richmond College. The
game opened at Z. NJ. John Greena-
way, of the University of Virginia eleven,
was umpire.
After sixteen minutes play Pantops
had scored sixteen points. Here, to the
great disappointment Of the large crowd
of spectators and the Pantops team the
game was thrown up by the captain of
Pages eleven, owing to an accident TO
the centre-rush of his team, Mr.. Nor
gan, of Richmond. The referee de-
clared Pantops the winner by the above
score.
Owing to the short time Of playing
little opportunity was given for brilliant
plays. The points for Pantops were
made as follows: Touch-downs-dar-
die, 2; Taylor, l; goals kicked-Iay-
lor, safety, !.
a contract has been closed for the
establishment Of a large refractory here,

DESPERADO AT LARGE
The JcD6rSOnidn OF this morning will
say:
Bluey Gentry, who recently shot and
killed Luther +. Shihett, in Greene
county, is still at large and defiant We
learn that Gentry, about eighteen
months ago. shot at James sandridge,
and afterwards cut him badly with a
knife, and that on the 18th Of April last
he shot seven times at G. L. Shihett. the
father OF the murdered man, while accom-
MED by his nephew and his daughters.
and about three weeks before he muir.
dered young Shifett no shot at him
three times. Ii is generally believed
that Bluey Gentry is the same person
who destroyed large young orchard for
w. b. Gentry.
These facts are published upon the
authority OF Mr.. G. II. Shihett.

The exports Of leaf tobacco and cigar
cites from the United States during the
year 1889 were quite satisfactory as to
quantity. Although larger quantities Of
leaf have been exported in previous
years, yet there is a material increase
over the year 1888.
The exports of leaf tobacco for 1889
amounted to 252, 500, ,6S1 pounds, as COM
pared with 2O4, ,1S4, ,021 pounds in 1888,
an increase of 4s,325, 900 pounds, yet the
value of the 1883 exports is put at $S,-
10000 more than the exports Of 1889,
something improbable; this discrepancy
is undoubtedly due to the crude method
of compiling these statistics. The ex-
ports of cigarettes for the year 1889 were
274 ,699, 900, as compared with 2O7 ,076, ,OOC
in 1883, indicating an increase Of 81, $685.
600. This is the largest amount exported
in one year, and evidences what rapid
strides are being made in the export bust
ness by our cigarette manufacturers, as
their exports in 1889 aggregated about
10 per cent. of their manufacture fol
home consumption.-Daily Virginian.

Preparations are being made among the
Clerical Opposition to celebrate in suit
able manner the 18th birthday of Herr
Windthorst, the only member of the
reichstag in whom Prince Bismarck rec
ognizes foeman worthy Of his steel.
Nothing is more strange than the contrast
between the two men; the one, burly
giant in stature, with big, loud voice
and heavy tread, always arrayed in his
uniform Of cavalry general with boots
and spurs complete; the other, a little old
dwarf, almost hunchbacked. with a
singularly ugly yet clever face, watery
eyes that are hidden behind huge pair
of blue spectacles, a monstrous and al
most toothless mouth, from which issues
thin piping wooden kind of voice, and
clean shaven cheeks, in every fold and
wrinkle of which there seems to lurk a
sarcasm or an irony in store for the chan
cellor. london Star.

Value Of the Let Alone Policy.

The news comes from Siam that the
king has granted valuable concessions in
mines, railroads and banking to Ameri-
cans, having previously refused them to
Englishmen. The astute monarch feared
the English were plotting to seize his
kingdom, while, of course, he had no such
fear as to this country. This is suggestive.
The nations of the east are not suspicious
of the United States. They know we
have no designs upon their independ-
ence. OF all European countries they
are distrustful. Americans ought, there
fore, to find the east bountiful field for
their enterprise. Washington Critic.
