DIXON DEFEATS SkELLY


tam-Weight.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept 3.--The second
of the series of prize fights at the Olym
pic club was fought Tuesday night. Il
was George Dixon, colored, the cham
pion bantam weight of the world
against Jack Shelly, of Brooklyn, foi
the championship and $12,500.
Skelly's seconds were Joe Choyinski
and Jimmy Carroll, while Jack McAu-
life held the bottle. Dixon's handlers
were Tom O'Rourke, Jack Havlin, OF
Boston, and Jimmy Dougherty, also of
Boston. Professor Duffy was referee as
usual.
Dixon had it all his own way from the
start. and knocked Skelly out in the
eighth round.
The poor boy had not been half-sized
competitor for the colored champion.
The Brooklynite meant well enough and
showed good heart, but, unfortunately
he does not know how to fight good
man. Dixon was pretty well applauded
when the decision was given.
About 400 colored sports were present.
After the fight cablegram was read
from Charley Mitchell offering to fight
the winner of the SullivanC orbett fight
for $40, 900 side and the largest purse,
but the announcement was Kissed.
After the Mitchell. telegram Referee
Duffy announced that Johnny Murphy,
of Australia, who has whipped the BEL
fast Spider" had deposited $3.50 with
Timekeeper Frank to make e match
with Dixon. Murphy Is clever fighter,
and has whipped several good men.
Dixon's victory was not a popular one
with the southerners, and when Skelly
was counted out Dixon was given few
Kisses.
Skelly is promising boy, with great
ducking ability, but he was clearly out
classed.
Johnny Griffin, who kept time for
Sicily, also challenged Dixon for 81 900
a side and the largest purse.
Then Billy Madden stepped in the
ring and said that if the winner of the
Sullivan orbett battle does not care to
meet Mitchell, Joe Goddard will fight
the winner for $4,000 side and the
largest purse. This was received with
cheers, as Goddard is very popular

of the emotions of the heart, of the aspi-
rations of the average mind. He is pro-
foundly lyrical, and so natural and
spontaneous that those read him intent
ly who say they do not care for poetry
in general. This is one of the highest
compliments that can be paid him, and
q compliment he would doubtless value
most. He never aimed at the admira-
ton of scholars; he tried to move the
common heart, to touch the cord of
popular sympathy, and he succeeded.
'The Voices of Freedom" as the col
lection was named, and all his antislav-
cry poems, mostly done without COM
pensation to help the cause, helped it in
calculably. They had perhaps more in
fiuence than any other single agency in
educating the country to the barbarism
of slavery and to cause at last its extinc-
ton. Many rampant southerners, in the
days before the war, declared that Whit
tier was q more malicious enemy and
wrought more harm upon them than
Garrison himself.
Some of Whittier's occasional poems
are lucidly beautiful, like the one to
Burns, whom he resembled, in so far as
a New England Quaker farmer may re-
semble an inconstant Scotch plowman.
Morally antipodal, they were, in the
quality of their genius, much alike.
One might quote pages on pages of
this typical New England bard without
satisfying the appetite for sweet, nerv-
GUS, wholesome verse. Every line is
fresh and grateful, as the odor of the
native wood or the breath of wild flow
ers. His song can not cloy, and though
often sad, as genius, seeing into the es-
sence of things, is prone to be, it is never
dispiriting or painful. He will outlive
many more pretentious and elaborate
poets, who, like Dante and Milton, are
continually praised, but seldom read.
He belongs to the home and heart; he
interprets the innermost feelings of our
nature and speaks for the conscience.
Supremacy moral, he has no tincture
of goody-goodiness, not the slightest
SAVIOR of pharisaism. He is never weak,
never unmanly The most captious
skeptic would not take offense at his
tender piety, nor the hardest worldling
at the purity of his sentiment. His
writings are not of the kind that grow
dusty on bookshelves. Their buyer buys
them for use, because they appeal to
his best sympathies. Whittier truly
represents the generation that finally
threw off its moral lethargy and ami
hilated slavery.

Shot Dead and Another oficer Wounded
Browns Bad Record.
CHICAGO, Sept. 8.-There was culmi-
nation in the effort to stop racing at the
Garfield park race track Tuesday, and
the record shows dead millionaire, a
dead policeman and another policemen
mortally wounded. The dead men are
James M. Brown, of Fort Worth, Tex,
prominent western turfman, and Po-
lice Officer John Powell. Officer Henry
Mcdowell was fatally shot.
A few minutes after 3 O'clock Inspec-
tor Lewis, in obedience to warrants, APP
peared at the gates. Then there was
scrambling in hot haste. A panic seized
the people in the grand stand.
j. M. Brown walked rapidly toward a
gate opening from the grounds on For
tieth street.
Powell followed and the race began,
Brown paying no attention to the re-
peated calls Of the officer that unless he
halted he would be fired upon. The
officer then fred in the air. Brown
turned, drew weapon from his pocket
and quick as flash fired at the officer,
who fell dead. Then scuffie ensued
between Policeman Mcdowell, who
came up as his brother officer fell, and
Brown, which resulted in Mcdowell be-
ing shot in the abdomen.
After the officer fell he raised himself
on his elbow, and taking deliberate aim,
shot Brown through the breast. BY
this time dozen policemen were firing
at the millionaire. He fell, and was
