DIXON AND sKELLY.
The Colored Champion Is Victc-
rious.

New ORLEANS, Sept. THE
fight last night in the Olympic club
arena, was a contest between black
aud white, in which the public bet
ting was nearly all on the side of the
African. The match was for the bi. :
gest money ever contested for by
bantams. There was not the same
interest in the fight that pre-
vailed In the stubborn contest
twenty-four hours before, because it
looked like a cinch for the eplored
man. The odds were tempting, and
they were taken by hundreds of bet
ters " ho risked few dollars at three
to one. The weather was warm,
but the throng was good natured
Ordinarily not black face Is to be
seen inside the arena, but there was a
cloud of them last night in the gall
lery. One Of the stars being a black
man aud the club acceding to a nat
ural desire on the part of the colored
element to witness the engagement,
set aside spacefor them.
The same excellent police disc
pline was preserved. Dixon just at
the weight, ,ll8 pounds, Skelly under
limit, weighing but 116l. The
crowd was somewhat smaller
than Monday, but was nevertheless
an immense gathering, large enough
indeed to pay the purse and yet
leave the club balance on the ledg-
er as result of the Investment.
The two men reached the club
building an hour before hostilities
were ready to begin. Dixon came
first. Jack McAuliffe, the hero of
Mondays battle, chaperoned th,
Skelley party. with Reynolds and
Kid Hogan by his side. Both me
were confident as they waited for
the call summoning them to battle
Vice PresidentSport led a procession
of little fighters into the ring ut
9:05 He was closely followed by
Dixon. Young Shelley came
short time after, aud received tre-
mendous ovation. Shelley, going
over to his opponent, gave him Il
hearty hand-shake. A general par
ley was held In the center of the
ring. during which the referee gave
instructions to fighters aud seconds.
The men crossed to the center of the
ring, where q hand-shake com
menced the battle.
The contest lasted through eight
and ended in victory for
the color,d champion. The young
Brooklyn amateur fought a game
battle, and that is ali he can be said
to have done. He showed fight
while strength was with him, and
only gave up when nature gave out.
The Boston bantam's generalship is
much admired, and his strength
and hitting ability are considered
wonderful.

The religion of the Cherokees, like
that of most North American tribes,
is q worship of everything tangible,
but particularly of animals. Among
the animal gods insects and fishes
occupy a subordinate place, while
quadrupeds, birds and reptiles are
invoked almost constantly. The
"uktena"-a mythic great horned
serpent-the rattlesnake, the terra
pin, the hawk, the rabbit, the sqrir-
rel and the dog are the principal ami
NAL gods
The spider occupies prominent
place in the love of life destroying
formulas, its duty being to entangle
the soul of the victim in the meshes
of it's web or to pluck it from the
body of the doomed man and drag it
away to the black coffin in the dark
ening land The sun is invoked by
the bail player, while the hunter
prays to the fire, but every impor-
tant ceremony-whether connected
with medicine, love- hunting or
games-contoins an invocation ad-
dressed to the Long Person, which
is the name for water, or, more
strictly speaking, for the river.
Other formulas invoke the wind, the
cloud, the storm and the frost.
Another god invoked in the hunt
ing songs is "Slanting Eyes, giant
hunter who lives in one of the great
mountains of the Blue Ridge and
owns all the game. Others are the
Little Men, Children of the Thunder
and the Little People, who are fairies
that dwell in the rock cliffs. There
is also diminutive sprite which
holds the place of our Puck. One
important formula is addressed to
the Red Headed Woman, Whose
Hair Hangs Down to the Ground"

The engiue aud tender ran into the

between the tender and the train

Writes a Letter on the Situation

Writes a Letter on the Situation.
AUGUSTA, Maine, Sept = A let
ter from Hon. James G.. Blaine to
Chairman Manley, of the Republi-
can state committee, was made pub
lie last night. Mr.. Blaine says IN
part: Not being able for reasons
which / explained to you to deliver
public speeches In the present cam
paign, ] take the liberty submitting
my views on issues which | regard
as being the strongest for Republi-
cans to urge before the people. The
issue of the greatest consequence is
the tariff on imports, and it will
continue to be until a settlement il
effected by majority SO large that
it will be tahtamount to general ac-
quiescence. Republicans are aggres-
sive on this subject. Two years ago
they passed general enactment
known as the Mckinley tariff,
which for a time failed to meet with
popular approval, and was regarded
with certain degree of distrust by
those who always upheld the pro-
tective system, but powerful reac-
ton came In consequence of the
viDdication Of the Mckinley tariff
by experience. 1t was found to
work admirably, and within the
last year it produced greater vol
ume of business, internal and exter-
nal. export and import, than the
United States ever transacted be-
fore.
Mr.. Blaine then proceeds to dis
cuss at lengbt the position of the
Democratic party on the tariff show
ing that it has departed from the
principles aud practice of Jefferson.

THE BANDAeE QUESTION.
Phil Casey Says Fighters Frequent
ly Wear Plaster.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 1.-THE an.
nouncement sent out from the Cor
bett train that the Californian's
hackers would demand that Sullivan
appear in tonight stripped TO the
navel creates much discussion. The
Corbett men claim that In previous
tights Sullivan has worn bis trunks
high up, and that beneath he had
worn bandsges to protect his
stomach. Phil Casey says fighters
frequently wear pine pitch plaster
over the abdomen 10 stay them dur
ing the contest. He thinks Nc
Auliffe did II last night, and knows
of no reason why sullivan should
not do the sasle. However, Casey
did not indicate what response
would lie made to the demand Of
the Corbett people in the matter.
Sullivan, when questioned, positive
ly refused to discuss the subject.
The last of the gladiators is here.
Corbett arrived yesterday and
was given a hearty welcome. IF
superb condition aud supreme con-
fidence today are factors in the fight
Corbett may be ranked among the
winners. A committee of the
Southern Athletic Club, headed by
President Campbell, met the Cali
fornian and his friends at the depot
and escorted them to their quarters
Regarding his condition Corbett
said: 81 am In fine form, feel per-
fectly well, and have had plenty of
rest. ~

Old Dan Rice in Wall Street.

Wider known and more beloved
than a score of millionaires is hale
old gentleman of sturdy frame and
resonant voice whose hearty hand
shake is pleasant thing to feel in
the lower town-old Dan Rice. His
immense breadth of shoulders COW
cred with light colored goods, his
shock of white hair and rather roll
ing gait can be distinguished in any
crowd far ahead of you. But when
you confront him and catch the full,
frank glance of his keen eyes, and
hear his CHEEKY voice, your memory
runs back at once and picks up the
thread of long ago when you thought
this same man one of the great of
this green earth. Somehow under
the magnetism Of his presence you
can't help but feel something like
that yet.
just now, however, met in Wall
street, he seems like some ancient
historical figure recently exhumed
and confused in your early roster
Of the great with General Scott,
Stephen A. Douglas, William Lloyd
Garrison ct al. But there is Ger.
tainly no myth about the old Dan
Rice of today, for he is about as
splendid a physical specimen as
have seen in many moons. The same

ring to it, familiar to hundreds of
thousands of the boys of half cen.
