THE FIGHT HANGS FIRE.


Mitchell Declines to Go to Canada to Sign
Articles and That Settles 1t For tho
Present-EaStern Men Worri cd About His
Terms.
New YoRK, Feb. 2s.-Charley Mitch
ell has made a public declaration that
no will not meet VIM. A. Brady, Cor
belts manager, in Canada, Saturday, to
sign articles, despite the fact that he
gave his word that he would.
This afternoon he said that he now
wants the $4,000 stake money deposited
in New Orleans. Before Mitchell left
the Gedney House this afternoon be
issued a letter in which he says in sub
stance that no came to this country Tor
no other purpose than to fight Corbett
In order to complete arrangements for
the fight he has conceded point after
point TO Corbett simply to convince the
public that he was anxious to fight.
After conceding practically every
thing, he says the police threaten to ar
rest him If the deposit OF $4,000 is
made or the articles signed, Mitchell
says he is not anxious to be sacrificed
upon the altar of the law for a viola
ton oil statutes against pugilistic en-.
counters. He remarks that there was
no agitation against prize fighting until
he came to this country, and lie pro-
poses that Corbett meet him in some
state where articles may be aligned
without transgressing the laws. To
this end he suggests New Orleans.

the money posted in New Orleans has
caused consterngtion among the man
ayers OF the ConeyIsland Athletic Club,
MS it virtually means that Mitchell
wants to fight in Louisiana and not in
the north. It is said that Corbett will
insist upon fighting before the Coney
Island Club, so it is most likely that
the match will fall through. Brady, il
is said, will stop Mitchell and make q
match with Peter jackson on Monday,
Brady and Mitchell met tonight and
the meeting resulted in the proposed

Powhatan's Pipe.

From the Richmond State-l
Captain I C. Morton, Secretary OF
the Board of Worlds Fair Managers
has in his possession the identical
pipe that was smoked in the peace
contract between the Indian chief
Powhatan and Captain John Smith.
The pipe, which is of stone, has the
unmistakable marks oil age upon it.
1t is cut in the shape of a Ratchet, or
as the Indians say, tomahawk. A
hole is bored through the pipe, and
it is said that two stems we're insert
ed SO THAT the parties to thecontract
could both smoke at the same time.
The pipe was sent to Captain Nor
ton by it's present owner, Mrs. Sallie
I'll. Redd, of Ridgeway, Henry county,
Va. Accompanying the old relic was
a statement showing that Mr.. Redd
is a lineal descendant of the historic
Queen, and gives the family record
for nine generations-from the time
Pocahontas became the bride of John
Rolfe TO the present owner, who was
Miss Sallie Epes Hairston, and mar
ried Mr.. James S. Redd. The relic
has been held and highly priced IN
the family for years. 1t will be on
exhibition in the Mount Vernon
building at the worlds Fair in Chi
cago.

q q 1yOTumn illustrated article on
point The first illustration repre-
scented Senator Ransom, happy and
smiling, surrounded by by a bevy of
pretty girls. The following is his
opinion of crinol,ne from the article
referred to:
"Skirts grow wider and the walk
around them is longer. Hoops are
on sale in Fifth Avenue establish
ments patronized by swell women,
and the skirts of gowns brought
from Paris are found to demand some
support more staunch than silk and
starched underskirts. Of course Con-
gressiOnal gentlemen are not expect
ed to be fully posted on all these de
tails, but they are observing men
and mark the strange appearance of
women in these latter days. Con-
| gressmen and Senators are supposed
to have opinions on all subjects from
| iack-rabbits to the latest discoveries
/ in the astral business, and crinoline
| and hoops come within these limits.
sit was Senator Ransom, of North
| Carolina, who found himself penned
| in a corner of the rotunda of the
| Southerner's favorite hotel by four
| fair young women VINO insisted on
| finding out just where the Senator
stood on the hoop skirt question
Now, girls, don't you know you
ought nos to ask me such ques-
ton? What do l know about crino

"'YOu know whether you like them
or not, and you also know that

rate some precious Congressional
crank or dress reformer will intro

the sale and wearing of the articles;

when Mr.. Ransom had it duly

were on the way sure huff he turned
on the girls with Now, what do you
want those things for?''

NEW THROUGH LINE.
Preparing for she Immense Traffic
Incident to the worlds Fair.

From the Baltimore Americana
The management OF the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad is preparing for
an immense business in 1898 while
the Worlds Fair is open in Chicago.
The terminals at Chicago are capa-
BILE OF, accommodating a much
heavier traffic than is now being
done. and important changes are
being arranged for the handling of
very heavy freight and passenger
business to the West from New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore. New
equipment for largely increased pas
senger business and an extensive
stock of freight cars have been
ordered. The various roads of the
system will be improved by straight
ened lines, reduced grades, extra side
tracks, and interloeking switches.
The new line between Chicago juno
ton and Akron has shortened the
distance between Chicago and tide
water twenty-five miles, and between
Pittsburgh and Chicago fitty-eight
| miles
The distance between Chicago and
I Pittsburg and Chicago and Cleve
| land by the construction OF the
| Akron line and the acquisition of the
Pittsburgh and Western line and the
Valley Railroad of Ohio, is about the
same as via the Lake Shore from
Cleveland to Chicago, and by the
Pennsylvania from Pittsburgh to
Chicago. The alignment is to be
| changed and grades reduced to
maximum of twenty-six feet. 1t is
expected that within twelve months
the old Baltimore & Ohio through
| line between Chicago and the At
lantic Ocean will have passed away
and the new line via Pittsburgh be
established, with no greater grades
or curvature than on any of the
| trunk lines.
Work has already begun east of
Pittsburgh to meet improvements
making west of Pittsburgh. These
| Improvements will consist of ad-
ditional second and third tracks,
general correction of the alignment,
and completion of the double track
on the Metropolitan Branch. 1t is
expected that the new through
line will be ready simultaneously
with the completion of the Belt Line
thu ough the City of Baltimore, which
| is intended to unite the Washington
Branch with the Philadelphia
Division and do away with the pres
ent linz via Locust Point. Forty
new and powerful locomotive engines
were added to the equipment during
the last two months, and Others are
in process of construction. The per-
m4nent improvements now under
way and in contemplation involve
the expenditure of some five millions
of dollars.

A STRANGE CASE.

81 eciaI CORRESPONDENTS of the Saptiuel.1
WASHINGTON, May 5.-Mr. Glenn

positively denying the report that he
has written such letter as the one

Senator has said that the whole story
is fabrication invented to iniure
Mr.. Glenn. But / assert upon the
positive statement of distinguished
witness that Mr.. Glenn has written
such letter and that it is now in the

The Vice OF Gam bling.

By Rev. Thos Dixonl
Gambling may be defined as the
art of securing the property of an
other without giving him anything
in return. Any man who CANDLES
steadily for twelve months will steal.
Men may deny it, but those who
know the facts in gambling life know
that it is true. If the gambler does
not actually steal, in the vulgar
sense of the word, it is simply because
he has not yet met the opportunity
or the crisis demanding it.
Gambling is nothing short of a
mania, and gamblers should be in
generated in lunatic asylums with
just as good reason as that which
requires that other lunatics be isolat-
ed from society. This disease of the
mind when once fixed is utterly hope
less. The victim follows his will-o'
the wisp as the weary traveller follows
the fatal mirage"

From the Dixie Farmer.
The most successful farmer in
North Carolina is said to be Mr.. T.
j. King, bachelor of thirty, resid-
ing at Louisburg. He is called a
book farmer, because he uses his
brains and scientific knowledge in his
business. In 1890 he produced
$3.50 pounds lint, three bales, on
one acre, the largest yield ever
known in the State. At one of our
Piedmont expositions his exhibit
covered 1,6O0 square feet of space,
and included sixty varieties of corn,
thirty-four of cotton, forty-three
species of hay and grasses, ten of
tobacco, ninety-six specimens of
garden crops, twenty-five kinds OF
wine, $50 jars of preserves, jellies,
ETC., with many varieties of wheat,
oats, peas and potatoes. He was
the youngest exhibitor at the expo
sition, and took the first prize on
several of his exhibits.

From the New York SUM-
Newspapers are written for human
conditions and for human beings.
not for imaginary existence and for
supernatural creatures. They are
written to be read by men. not for
the reading of angels. The breadth
OF their vision enables them to put
casual occurrences in their proper re-
latlon to the entire and permanent
movement ofsociety. To their view,
mere nearness does not exaggerate
and mere distance does not dwarf.
The vapor of evanescent delusion
does not hide from their sight the
enduring eminences of substantial
principle. They do not pretend that
they live up in the clouds, far above
the struggle between good and evil
in the plane of ordinary existence
They take their stand down in the
midst of it, to record both the
victories and defeats, from which
will come the final and complete
triumph of the best. They are in
terested in everything that interests
mankind. Their attention is always
directed to the panorama of life
| They are watching the process
