THERE WAS NO PRIZE-FIGHT.
The Mill to Have Been Pulled on
Was Interfcrcd With.

The citizens of Richmond who are pos
sessed of sporting proclivities were TO
have been treated to a prize-fght last
night. but several contingencies any one
of which would have been sufficient TO
break up the affair, arose, and the hght
did not take place.
The mill was to have been pulled OF IN
the steam-laundry building at the foot
of Chestnut Hill, and a large crowd Of
sports assembled there with view TO
seeing the two pugilists, one of whom
bears the name of T.. G. Johnson, and
halls from Atlanta, and the other, VINO
signs himself w. G. West of Richmond,
pummel each other. Several county off,
GERS were also present, and the STEP
father of West likewise put in his APP
pearance.
Johnson failed to attend the seance, and
hence there could have been no fight,
even had there been no interference.
Vests stepfather. however. didn't know
this, and he broke up the meeting, scat
terng the crowd. When this was done,
the county officers. Who had been con-
cealed about the building waiting for the
fight to commence, when they proposed
to SCOOP in the crowd. came forth. They,
of course made no arrests, and the sports,
both detected and disguised, left for their
homes.
Later in the night West visited the Dis
patch office. saying he had been TO Bon
Air TO meet Johnson there. No fight
was pulled off though, but West says he
proposes meeting Johnson at all hazards,
and declares, moreover, that he VIII lick
him.

DIR. Curry on Manual Training.

Dr. MANUAL FRAMING.
The night session was entirely devoted
10 the few remarks delivered by Governor
O'Ferrall and the admirable speech Of
Dr. j. l.. NJ. Curry. When the body was
called to order by President Massey the
special committee appointed TO escort
DR.. Curry to the hall entered with him.
The attendance was sufficiently large to
throng the hall. many iadies being pres
emit President Massey stated that il
gave him great pleasure to introduce the
Hon. J. L. NJ. Curry. who had consented
to address the conference on the subject
of manual Training" Mr.. Massey re-
ferred briefly to DR. Curry's distinguished
ministry of southern education. and de-
clared that Virginia superintendent were
fortunate TO have this opportunity to
hear his treatment Of this impo -tant phase
of education.
When DIT. Curry arose he took occasion
TO pay Mr.. Massey a fitting and appro-
pirate tribute for the splendid work he
has done I'm the work of bringing the pub
lie schools throughout the State of Vir-
ginia to their present state Of efficiency
and usefulness. and expressed his gratif-
cation at the cordial reception given him
by the convention Of superintendent. He
said that i'm popular acceptation Of The
term education was used to denote
result and a process. The ideal was the
harmonious and comreete development
of all the powers and faculties of mans
nature. The child could not educate
himself. He needed exterior aid and d.
rection. This is progressive age
declared DR.. Curry. as he went along,
"remarlxahle in it's progress in the
science. philosophy and the methods OF
education The development of indus
trial education IS far more profitable in
the public schools than the useless at
tempt TO impart a smattering OF Latin
and Greek" He discussed In most in
teresting fashion the methods OF educa-
,ion mast and present. in this and other
countries. and emphasized the rise and
prevalence Of democracy in its outcome.
THE QUESTION CONFRONTING Us
DIR Curry said the question which con-
fronted the people of Virginia was what
kind of schooling was best adapted TO
minister TO the well being OF the indi-
vidual and the State. He contendei that
10 rood. general education should be
added the sciences. manual training. etc
Said he: "a skilled hand is as impor-
tant as well-filed head The Pea
body and Slater gifts looked to the we'll
being OF the masses rather than OF the
classes. "Manual training" he continued.
"has a distinct character and purpose
as distinguished from trades school In
structIon. Much OF our present school
work divorces doing from knowing. and
exargerates the relative value Of the lat
ter as compared with the former. The
legitimate end OF knowing Is doing.
Education by and through manual train
inc q essential TO intellectual and moral
training. and TO right training for ciu-
z.nsbIp. Labor Is dignihed and made
honorable. Pupils are trained to believe
In work. to respect work. 10 seek work.
10 have sympathy with the laborer.

The Supreme Court of Tennesses has
declared that the shedding of tears by
a lawyer when pleading on behalf of
his client is not only allowable, but is
among "the natural rights of counsel
which no statute or constitution could
take away" Indeed, says the court,
''if counsel have tears at command, it
may be seriously questioned whether
it is not his professional duty to shed
them whenever proper occasion
arises" The case wherein this decis
ion was rendered was one for breach of
promise, wherein the tears of the plain
titf's attorneys were alleged to have
unduly moved the sympathies Of the
jury in her behalf.

ZIG INSURANCE.

The issuing of a policy of a million
dollars on the life of aged Mrs. Jane
Stanford, of San Francisco, by one
New York company has caused much
comment. 1t is the largest life insur-
ance policy ever written by one comp
any. Mrs. Jane Stanford is the widow
of Leland Stanford, the railroad mil
lionaire. She is - years old.
1t was with the intention of provid-
ing for the Leland Stanford University
that Mrs, Stanford had her life insured
Under the terms of the policy the COM
pany agrees to pay $l,OOO,OOO to the
university if Mrs, Stanford dies within
ten years. If she lives for more than
ten years, the company will pay 81, 600,
600 on her death OF course the prem
ium on such an amount is enormous.
Mrs. Stanford will have to pay the
company Sl70,O annually.
| If the company invested slTOO a
year for seven years at G per cent com.
/ pound interest, the total would amount
to more to more than 81, 500, GOO. 1t
would readily be seen that the com.
pany would make handsome profit il

years, even though they paid the

The wind blew out the last match
which the fur-coated broker had about
his person, and he turned to the boy and
said :

The lad eyed the gentleman furtively
as he inquired: "Say, mister, is that a
demand or request?"
Instead of being angry at this reproot
the gentleman-for he was such-re-
piled kindly:
"a request, my boy, a humble request;
and I'll take a couple of evening papers
too, l guess" he added, as he received
the match from the youngsters hand

NOT UNDER CIVIL SERVICE.

The Pension Medical Examiners are
not subject to the civil service laws
This is the decision of Attorney Gen
eral McKeuna and he will soon issue an
order to that effect Justice Miller, of
the Supreme court, rendered a decision
in regard to medical examiners, declar.
ing that they were not regular EN-
ployes of the government because they
rendered medical service and could not
be considered so any more than wood
sawvers who furnished wood or milk
men who furnished milk to the de
partment, This decision was called tC
the attention of the Department ot
Justice and on it Attorney General
MeKenna will base his opinions and
orders, declaring all medical examin'
ers on pension boards outside the civil
service law. This decision will affect
a large number Of of appointments in
