ITUIU,
Corbett will not fight Jackson, the negro.
This is not because he has any fear OF Jack
son. whom, 1t is recognized he out class
es, but because he is very much interested in
his theatrical tour and IS afraid of the effects
OF the meeting on the south. All Of Corbett'S
experiences with the southern people have
shown that they would feel a certain amount
of resentment if the champion should meet a
black man. 1t may be said i'll general way
that n man who has won the championship OF
the world should meet all corners irrespective
of color; but Corbett has definitely decided TO
respect the prejudlces of the south and not
give Jackson chance to go against him. At
the railroad stations and at other places LII
the southern states the crowds howled: Don't
meet the nigger!' continually; and as a good
portion Of Corbett'S theatrical tour Is below
Mason and DiXon'S line, the two most prolni-
ncnt fighters Of the day will not come together.
Corbett draws the color line.

"coL. CARTER OF cARreRsWLLE."
Tho Virginia story Dra,natized and Clever
" Played In New York by Bir. Holland.

The Virginia gentleman of f. Hopknson
Smiths story. " Colonel Carter Of Carriers
ville,' introduced himself to an audience
at Palmer's Theatre on tuesday evening,
says the New York sun. Augustus Thomas
had placed HIM in a play, and r. NJ. Hol-
land acted him. He was an unatered and
familiar acquaintance of those who had
read the book. with his personal appear
ance. his southern accent, and his queer
ideas OF business rnd honor all preserved,
for the expression Of these characteristics
by the comedian was literally faithful. If
there bad not been lapse IN Mr.. Hollands
memory once in a while, 10 break the
Colonel's fuency and remind the auditor
that an actor was speaking the lmper-
sonation would have been absolutely life
like IL was hrst-rate performance. and
the fault Of 1t did not lie in anything that
1t contained, but in its failure TO contain
more. There was not enough expensive
ness-of what NAV be termed spread
cagleism. That will prove 10 be the matter
WITH II in the estimation Of the multitude.
But last evenings audience. which Will be
duplicated many times at Palmer's, was
very considerable OF the QUOT fidelity to
the Colonel Carter Of the book, and so
Mr.. Hollands achievement was literally
applauded.
The old negro servant. Ched, was there,
too. and In him no mannerlsm of speech or
action was amiss. The mimic IN this
case was Charles Harris. a rare delIneator
Of eccentric men. He would surprise the
public greatly if he should some time fail
of expectation, so unyaryingly has he sue
ceeded in all the roles assigned TO him.
The further drafts upon the Palmer com
pany were not heavy. for the mere sketches
of most of the individuals in the story bad
not been amplifed, nor were any OF those
which the dTamstist had added Of great
account.
in the process Of dramatization Colo
mel Carter of Cartersyille' retained all the
essential particulars of the narrative and
gained some new ones. The comedy was
III FIVE acts. In the first the Carriers were at
their morteaged home IN Virginia. with
Willis Morgan, an artist, enamored OF
the ColOnel's ward, Light Barbour, whom
the old gentleman himself secretly loved.
The homestead was barely saved from
the Sheriff and the Colonel started for New
York 20 float his bubble of a railroad
scheme. In the second, third and fourth
the Coloneps experiences while promoting
his absurd enterprise in New York were
shown, In the fifth "a return was made TO
Cartersville, where the discovery OF coal
on the farm enriched the family.
There is not much OF plot or movement
in this piece, and so three OF the city's
stock companies are running agreeably
along with quite untheatrical plays. but
the entertainment Is light and pleasant,
and there are more or less people IN this
big town to appreciate 1t.

OPPOSED TO STORING COIN.
Mr.. HemphilI. of South Carolina; favored
the bill because he was opposed to the
present law. That law required the
storing IN the Treasury of silver. coin. He
believed that the proposed legislation was
far preferable to the existing law. No ma
ton on earth could hold within ITS vaults
one OF the metals from which the money
of civilized nations was made. He advo-
Gated an amendment which would provide
that the silver dollar should be composed
OF SIS grains, instead of 4l2lS. so a. to
make the market value of gold and silver
practically equal. If that amendment
were voted down he would offer an amend
ment authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury, at the end Of three months from
the approval of the bill. TO increase or di-
minish the amount Of bullion put into, the
silver dollar, so that it would equal IN
