Lot of Sports Disappointed at His
Non-Arrival.
The champion heavyweight pugilist.
James ]. Corbett, was expected to arrive
in this city today at two minutes after one
o'clock. Fully five hundred New York and
local sports and an equal number of curl
osity seekers were packed into the Penn
sylyania Railroad waiting room, anxious
to get glimpse -f the champion. The
Washington express arrived on time. but
Corbett did not appear. Shortly after the
arrival of the train, Train Master Keefer
announced that Pugiltst Corbett was on
train No. A, which is due in this city
at ten minutes past three o'clock.
The greater number of the curiosity
seekers who had been waiting from
twelve o'clock to see the champion de-
parted. The sports remained to give the
champion the welcome they think he
deserves.

The public schools opened today.
ALI but two of the buildings
were thrown open this morning.
The two still remaining closed
are Nos. II and 16. This due to the fact
that the much needed repairs which Pres

a week. The attendance at all the schools
was large, but Superintendent Snyder
intends making an effort to SO apportion

From Baltimore we have the interesting
news that the 800 feminine pupils in the State
Normal School there have discarded corsets
and garters. and will not hereafter wear them
as part Of the school earb. the outdoor dress.
or the homo costume. but instead thereof will
adopt, or rather have already adopted. health
waists and elastic stocking supporters. They
gave the subject long consideration before
taking this action. and made themselves IA
miliar with the Chautauqua arguments in its
favor. which were not regarded as conclusive.
The Professor OF Physical Culture settled the
question when she set up a rule requiring all
her pupils to make the change needed to So
euro the full benefit OF muscular exercise.
The physical culture class obeyed this or
der. and were highly delighted with the
result. whereupon tho other young ladies'
in the State Normal School followed
their example and got rid Of corsets and gar
tors. Thus the great reform has got n power
full foothold in Baltimore. which is now away
ahead OF Boston in this respect. It may be
presumed that within a very short time all the
ladies' Of Baltimore will adopt the change
which Prof HELEN NJ. Cole has. compelled her
pupils to make.
OF course. this slight change does not covor
the whole OF the programme of the Chau-
tauoua dress reformers. but since reform has
begun in hopeful way We may expect to see
1t advance until the Turkish trousers of Chau-
tau1ua are familiar to the people OF Baltimore
and other places.

az the motion, tho delegates repulsed 1t BY
passing an amendment to proceed immedi-
ately to the work OF the conference. 10
mark still more sharply their contempt Tor
the efforts to invest trifling incident with
national Importance. and to show that In
their opinion sympathy like charity begins
at home, they forthwith voted substantial
help to the starving nailmakers Of the Mid
land districts who have long been on strike.
In the face Of this stern rebuff 1t Is intprob-
able that the manufacturers Of testimonials
OF grief will test the feeling Of other trade
unions, and 1t is almost certain that II they
do they will be disappointed.
There is. indeed, no doubt that English
Radicals. even Of the most aggressive type.
are less violently hostile to the institution
Of kingship than to the House OF Lords.
They detcst the hereditary branch OF the
legislature as being q positive nuisance.
whereas they know that under the workings
Of the present form OF parliamentary gov
eminent the crown Is simply decorative
adjunct It is quito possible that. long after
the peers have been reduced to the rank Of
commoners, the masses Of the English peo-
pie may tolerate sovereign as o con-
venient tlgurehead. though they will insist
upon buying the superfluity ut Continental
rates. They will naturally be unable to see
why German princelings who starve at
homo should DO fattened in England on the
earnings Of British workingmen. They will
take tho civil list and tho matter Of allow
ances into their own hands and drive hard
bargain with the royal family. provided
they permit 1t to keep eveD the shadow
Of authority. II any ono supposcs that
the Woodworking men who compose tho
trade unions will show themselves more
subservient and generous to royalty than
did the representatives OF the middle class
who made up the Long Parliament. he will
find himself mistaken. Let tho Radicals
once obtain q strong majority In the House
Of Commons-nor Is tho day OF their pre-
pondcrance far distant-and tho type Of roy
atty permitted to survive In England will
be very different from tho present. The
royal household will be organized. like that
OF tho French President, In a simple and
frugal way, and. what is moro. the SOW
ereigns stipend will be dependent on good
behavior. No breath Of scandal will be suf-
fered to tarnish the English Crown when
tho Radicals are masters Of the State. and
the performances attributed to the Prince Of
WALES will be remembered with astonish-
ment that such pranks could be ventured
on by q man dependent on the popular
bounty for his daily bread.

derstand why they should receive express
slons Of coincidence from any people outside
Of the circle OF their near relatives. If the
great London newspapers. with their eff
fusive and extravagant professions OF sor-
row. really reflect the feelings OF the masses
of the English population. then England
has gone strangely backward in tho last
$50 years. since the head Of q worthless
sovereign fell under the judicial axe. and
the cry went forth: 1.-The justice OF the
Commonwealth is satisfied; the man
CHARLES is dead"
Al n matter OF fact we have conclusive
evidence that the concerted demonstration

which aim to be the organs OF the aristoc-

middle class. Is simply decorous sham.
