JORDAN IOTTINGS.

Jordan, S. c., Jan. 16th:-Fol
about two weeks now, the grippe has
had almost complete control of things
in this part of the country. No
family and but very few individuals
have escaped it, some however, hav-
ing much more severe ATTACKS than
Others. Several are still quite sick.
The Academy has been going on
all during the past week in spite of
the sickness Of both of the assistants
and a large number of the pupils.
The library is getting in shape now
and the book cases have been nearly
completed, when tie work is done it
will be quite an addition to the build
ing and new force will be set at
work in the community, the influence
of which will undoubtedly be for
the good of the young as we'll as the
old. Another improvement is also
being made at the Academy, the trus-
tees are putting in another fue for
the purpose of heating the third clas,
room more perfectly. An effort to
charter the school is also beng made
and it is hoped that before very much
longer it will be chartered insti-
tuition. It would be a good thing
now to set this off as special school
district so that the taxes might be
used as the trustees see tit, they
could then also assess a special tax
for the use of the schools in this dis
trict. Con.

IN MEMORIAM.

Death is abroad in the land, and is nc
rlspecter Of persons; for all must die. H
lays his colo clammy hand upon Us aad
we are forced to yield We all realize tha;
We have to die, Yet that future that in
definite future holdS out to US its enchant
il.g propositions, aud we brush aside snch
solemn thoughts and again with renewed
efforts 90 about business as usual.
Death has removed from our midst a
bright, and promising young man. Paul
'Tisdale has been pupil of mine, now 60
ing on two years and possessed one of the
brightest minds l ever had to instruct He
was quick, energetic, and ambitious, and it
was constant source of pleasure to watch
his progress and conscious pride as
he mastered one difficulty after another.
He was very desirops OF getting as full a
course at the Institute as possible before
going off to college. He told me the last
day he was at school that it was his inten-
ton to give the ministry lis service; so
while We can't comprehend the rulings Of
Divine providence in his career being ter
minated so early, yet it is 9, consolation to
know that such noble thougntS and aspira-
lions tiled his mind. During his entire
course at school l never once had 70 call
his attention to any misbeLavior whatever.
TIE memory of him will ever form with
me one Of the bright pages Of schcol-room
experience. hereby express to the be-
reared family my deepest sympathy.

OMAHA, NEBR., Feb. 23.-Dominick Nc
Caftrey, the old-time Tugilist, is spending
tew months on the ranch OF his brother
at O'Neill, Nebr.
de is greatly interested in the approach
ing fight between Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons, and in an interview to-day had this
to say:
IL look at it in this way: 1t is a great
boxer against great f fghter, and you
know there is vast difference between
boxing and fighting.
1.-The fighter generally brings the money
home, all things considered. 1 feel sure
that Fitzsimmons will win if he gets fair
play. You know an individual cannot
beat any army; you also know how he
was treated in San Francisco. Corbett
VIII be handled by smarter people than
will look after Fitzsimmons, and he is
better business man all round, and is
| more clever in boxing. On the other hand
there is no man alive whom Fi,zsimmons
| cannot hit, and when he lands he makes
| the desired impression. Corbett never got
hurt up 10 date, and when he does he will
forget his cleverness.
Ut will certainly be the greatest fight
OF the century and the best chance to
make money. would back Fitzsimmons
TO standstill had 1 the money to do SO.
The case puts me in mind of my
fight with Sullivan to some extent.
L had the good will of the
country, but their position in the busi-
ness and the social world would not
allow them to fight for my rights at the
ringside. Fitzsimmons is single handed
and alone and is disliked by the sports; !;
still with fair play he will win. That Is
my unbiased opinion"
MeCaffrey has pretty good idea of
hghtnrs, and his declaration that Fitz-
simmons will land a winner at Carson
carried with it much weight in local
sporting circles. This already shows it,

Brother Joe until the latter is winded and
then slogs Billy Woods until Woods cries
quits.
The bouts with Woods this afternoon
were unusually fast and furious. The
Denver man again had his head encased
in pneumatic mask and his chest pro-
tected by q baseball cateher's apron. The
mask saves his jaw from some terrific
smashes, but does not always guarantee
to Billy right to keep on his pins. One
righI-hand cross upset him beautifully to-
day and he did not hit a soft spot on the
hoor either. He wss staggered twice by
left hooks on the chin. despite the protec-
tion afforded by the mask
Corbett went through his sprints twice
during the day, working two hours in the
morning and an ho1r and a halt in @

town and attended performance of "All
the Comforts of Home" at the Opera
house. The play was given by some
clever Carson amateurs, and given in
splendid style. The house was packed IN
anticipation of Corbett's coming, and his
appearance was the signal for a great
burst OF applause. A stage box had been
handsomely decorated with American
flags in his honor. and from this conspicu.
Gus place he watched the performance.

Gal" Smith would not admit the fact
directly, as he does not wish to have the
money attached by Joe Vendig's lawyers.
Vendig claims to be Stuart's partner.
but the latter has repudiated him.
Consequently, Vendig's lawyers pro-
pose taxing action in his behalf
in the United States courts at
once. and sporting men are afraid
an attempt may be made to locate and
levy on the $4,000 purse money which is
supposed to be in the hands of the finas

CARSON, New. Feb. 23.-The most at
tractive spot in Carson to-day was the
race-track. where force of carpenters was
engaged in sorting out lumber for Stuart s.
pavilion, while crowds of shivering report
ers stood around in the snow and watched
operations.
March II is the date fixed by Architect
Donohoe for the completion OF the struc-
ture. Bad weather may set the work back
few DAYS, but liberal allowance has
been made for this. While drawing the
plans Donohoe bore in mind the possibil-
ity of heavy snowfall and the arena will
be so constructed that it can be cleared o.
snow in few hours.
The seats will be more comfortable than
might be supposed at first observation,
and the graduations have been 80 nicely
calculated that nothing will obstruct the
view from even the cheapest chairs.

not occupy the box rendered to him by
