NOW FOR THE BATTLE.
MIR. Stilson Hutchips Accepts Mr. HI.
T.. Davis Challenge To Talk.

Mr.. Stilson Hutchins has accepted the
challenge Of Nh. Henry Z. Davis to a joint
debate of the financial question, only pro-
v:ding that the encounter shall take place
in Washington instead of Richmond, as
suggested. Mr. Hutchirs writes to MIR.
Davis follows:
Il have your letter of October g. in which
you invite me to meet you in the city of
Richmond, Va, to debate the gold and sill
yer question, upon such terms as We may
mutually adopt.
why Richmond? What have the citizens
of Washington done that tk,y should be
deprived of the pleasure of hearing you
Gescant upon the great benefits of a single
sold standard? Are you, too, like my friend,
Mr. Warner, fearful that the residents of
Washington would he unduly 'a11tated' if
they heard both sides of the question, and
only 'agitated' up to the fun measure OF
their capacity when they hear the gold side
as propounded by you and the distinguished
gentleman just named?
shali be very willing to meet you, but
must insist upon Washington as the
place We can get together here a very in

We are careful IN the distribution of our

comedians. The Newsboy Quintet, with
two new members, sang themselves into
popularity, and the entertainment closed
with Johnny Wild. in a roaring comedy,
entitled sunday in q BoWery Barber
Shop"
The Dog and Pony show.-sipe. Dolman
and Blake's pony and dog show opened at
14th and V streets last night for weeks
run, and the aggregation scoree a success
from the very beginning. The are seven-
ty-four dogs and forty ponies In the outfit,
and the animals do everything that one
could think of except speak, The tent IN
which the show took place was crowded
long before the performance began, and
when the first tnstallment of ponies trotted
into the ring standing room only was OBJ
tainable. There are features to amuse and
entertain every one young and Old, from
the marvellous tricks Of the trained ponies
to the antics OF the dog clowns. The show
claims the respectful attention of the IN
telligence Of the older people who see 1t,
affording an interesting study in the science
of dumb beast education at the same time
dellghtng the little ones with the more
ridiculous SIDE of the tricks performed.
There are dog and pony acrobats aerial
iStS eqGestrians, equilibrists, leaDers ana
clowns, and. in fact, the feats OF human
actors are mimicked with such startling
fidelity that it seems almost incredible that
a man should have SO much power over
dumb animal. There are several wonderful
acts performed by the animals, among
which may be mentioned the revolving
pyramid. which Is an achievement in the
education Of animals that is almost with
out parallel; the pony army, In which
troup Of forty ponies act exactly as though
they composed a camp of soldiers; trio
of riding dogs. which have not been sur
passed by any in this part of the coun-
try. and many other feats which amaze
and amusc the beholder. A band concert
is given before each performance. Among
some of the special animals which are a
part of the show may be mentioned Little
Pug. the smallest pony in the world,
weighing seventy-six pounds and being five
and one-half years old. and the st. Bernard
Caesar, sired by Sir Bedivere, one of the
most famous dogs of that breed. Matinees
will be given every day, in addition to the
regular evening performances, all this
week. One Of the features Of the show
which delights the children perhaps more
than any other is the free pony ride which
is given every child after the performance.

ZION 4. VI. F.. CHURCH,.
Jubilee Being Held at the Old Build
ing in New York.

Almost all the A NJ. f. Zion preachers
of Washington are this week in New York,
where they are attending the jubilee that
is expected by the officers to mark an
epocf in the progress of the colored race
upon this continent.
The Jubilee is to celebrate the hu1dredth
anniversary of the founding of the African
Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, but be
yord that it is looked upon by the leading
men of the denomination as noteworthy
exposition of the mental and religious de
veIopment of the black man, and 1t has
attracted to New York all the bishops Of
the church except cne and nearly five hun
dred pastors.
The Jubilee which is to continue twelve
days is being held in the quaint old brick
church corner of West 10th and Blcccher
| streets, where Frederick Douglass made
his first public speech. This old church
was the parent of the orga nizatiOn in this
country.
| Founded in 1896 by a handful of Afro
| Americans, headed by Rev. James Narick,
because of race discrimination against them
| in the John Street Methodist Episcopal
| Church, the end of the century finds the
| score of devoted followers grown to mere
! than 1000 churches, and extending over
| thirty-seven states. The denomination has
| 4.O21 preachers, almost 100000 commuri-
cants and property valued at nearly $i,ur',
600
| These are the material facts which are
being celebrated in the anniversary. Back
| of them are the imposing advances that
| the black man has made, his emancipation,
| his struggle upward into citizenship, and
his continually expanding capacity for self
government, which he has had nowhere a
more favorable opportunity to exercise
| than In the A. NJ. +. Zion Church.
| The jubilee began Saturday, and three
| sessions will be held daily until the con-
| clusion of the anniversary. Some of the
chief days will be founders day. women :
| day, which was celebrated yesterday: mis-
sionary day, young peoples day. edu,4-
| tional day, children's day and jubilee day.
| The centennial will he concluded with a
jubilee in Carnegie Hall Monday evening
next at which Mayor Strong will preside.
! The meeting will be followed with a ban
quet, where Booker T. Washington. Mrs
Frederick Douglass. T. Thomas Fortune
and others equally as famous are expected
to speak and effort will lie made to
raise 100000 for educational purposes,
church extension and missionary work
