ODDS IN LONDON

Favorable to Fitzsimmons With No
 Takers at Even Money Or Better
 London, March 16.-Thene is very little betting in sporting or other circles in London on .omorrow's fight between Cor bett and Fitzsimmons, and what few wagers have been made have been chiefly at even money. Ore offer of $1,00O even on Fitzsimmons found no takers, and later II to 10 against Corbett was of fered by the same bettor and accepted.
 The Evening News publishes a report of an interview with Sir George Chet- wynd, who is an ardent devotee of ath- letic sports, in which he is reported as saying: T cannot ignore the fact that Corbett is a clever boxer, but I think the Englishman will win. Any way, II will be a hard fight."
 The veteran puginstic trainer and sac ond, Jack Baldoek, says: T think Fitz- simmons will win, but it is foolish to un- derrate Corbett. Men of his class of ner- vous temperament often, in desperate fight. exhibft rapidity and caution be- yoEd expectatio

Fr1dcrrY oF ExpREssaoN.

When Aaron Burr was a student at cole lege he wrote a composition in which he said that 1t was the thought and not the words that made composition grand. Grand words without great thoughts be- comes gra andilequence. But it is concern ing elearness and felicity of expression that we wish to speak. rather than grandeur. It seems to us that not suf- ficlera attention is paid in the schools to facility of expression. Even college graduates often are unable to express themselves clearly. In writing an arti- cle they will fail to make themselves understood. and probably will use lan- euage susceptible of a meaning totally different from that intended. Words we'll chosen are as sweet smelling savor. On our exchange ta ble lies the Memphis Commercial-Appeal and the Montgomery Advertiser. The first is remarkable TOT it's felicity of expression-it can say mora and say it better, about nothing, thah any of our contemporaries. Its words bubble and sparkle like champagne, ana leave an effect equally as exhilarating. The Advertiser, on the other hand states its opinions in bold manner, without choice of words or phrase. As Pooh- bah says, it's words are written merely to give verisimihtude to bald and un- interesting narrative.

ESCAPED FROM THE MINES.
William Pierson Succeeds In Gaining His Liberty In a Novel Manner-Others Intercepted In an Attempt to
 Escape.

A daring criminal made a bold escape from Pratt mines yesterday morning. The successful convict was William Pier son, a negro desperado, sent up from DadSville on sentence of five years.
 It is said that Pierson and two white compa nions named Freeman Lewis ana Edward McGee consorted a plot last week to escape by Secreting themselves in a tram car and have the coal loaded in over them. When the coal was dump ed out on the tipple they would be thrown out also and into the railroad car, from which they could easily escape. Such was their doing and peculiar plan. The three men followed out the plan, but were detected by one of the company s men and the plot frustrated for the time being. Lewis and McGee were easily re- captured, but Pierson was not, and ran back into mine No and then into No. l. where he concealed himself and evaded his pursuers.
 It is stated that on Monday night Pierson crawled into another tram car, which was loaded with the refuse from the stables, in which are kept the mine mules Yesterday morning this car. as Is usual, was hauled out to the top and emptied down a rock pile. When it was dumped over the negro rolled down the dump, and, gaining foothold, made off through the woods
 Pierson was followed by a posse and the dogs through the woods into Village creek where he took to the water. The pursuit was continued in different direc- tions, and it is thought he will be re- captured.
 Persons two white companies were sent up from this city for burglary md grand larceny. Freeman Lewis while in the county jail, was a ringleader in 8 bold attempt at a wholesale jail delivery early in Sheriff O'Brien's administra- ton. He was convicted of stealing shoes and ether articles. He is a young man.
 Will Pierson is a well known negro to the authorities and has been caught in several attempts to escape. Before being sentenced to Pratt mines he was con fined in the Dadevlle jail and succeeded in making four escapes from that struc- ture He was recaptured every time and finally given five years in the mines. A point worthy of note is the fact that Pierson was captured in this city every time he broke cut of the Dadeville jail except the last one when Deputies Ball and Jones arrested him early in Janu ary between Irondale and this city.
 He is very desperate character and the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company has offered reward of $50 for his capture.
 Edward McGee is also young man and was sent up for burglarzing houses on the South Highlands. He was a stranger in this city at the time, but was traced and caught b V Detective Steve Wiggins. McGee and his young companion in crime were given two years and costs. each. His companion was not Implicated in the attempted escape.

BEN. SMITH CAPTURED
And Now Serving a Sentence Tn the Texas Penitentiary-Officer Nelson's
 Disappearance still Mystery.

It is said that Ben l.. Smith, the es- capped murderer, has been caught and is now serving a sentence of two years for the theft of $50.
 It will be remembered that Smith es- capped from Pratt mines over year ago and went to Texas, where he took the name of William l.. Dill. He worked in a barber shop there, but was finally ar rested a few days before he was to have been married to a Texas girl
 Special Officer Nelson was sent to Texas to bring Smith back, but the latter sue ceeded in escaping at Houston. Noth- ing has been heard from Nelson and it is feared that he has met with foul play. The following letter concerning Smith was received several days ago:
 Laredo. Tex, March Ii. 1897. Superintendent P. J. Rogers, Pratt City, Ala.
 Dear Sir-I caught Ben L. Smith and ony. He was tried by jury and given two years in the penitentiary. He was carried to Huntsville on the 9th to serve his sentence. Yours very truly,
 L. R., ORTIZ, Sheriff. After escaping from Officer Nelson at Houston, it is thought that Smith re- turned to Austin, where he was given assistance to get into Mexico.
 It is said that Smith admitted to the officers at Laredo that he escaped from Officer Nelson in Houston. He is now said to be in the Texas penitentiary which is located at Huntsville.

It would be disastrous if the Boers and British in Somsh Afrdea- should so to war. The natives would take advantage of the war to rise, and as they are very numer- ous and Svarlike, they would massacre the whites, overrun the Orange Free State and set back the progress of civil ization many years. The Kafirs have never combined against the whites so far. because they lack the power of extended organization. but in the event of war among the whites the uprising would be simultaneous. The white states of South Africa should form a federation, as did the states of America, for mutual de- fence and assistance.

The United States should feel a sym pathy for the Orange Free State, which is a republic modelled after our govern ment. It contains about 100000 Dusch, almost as many English, a few Ameri- cans and several hundred thousand na- tives. An the inhabitants live peaceably together. as in this country. The Dutch gave the Orange Free State it's republi- can form of government The Orange Free State is in danger from the war like Kafirs, who surround it. If this government could ever be excused for de- lending a foreign country it should be excused in protecting the Orange Free State in the event of war, so that gov ernment of the people, for the people and by the people should not perish from the Dark Continent

 In this Issue is published letter from President Reynolds. of the Polytechnic Institute at Montevallo. to Hon. John McQueen, a member of the board Of trus- tees. The letter makes interesting read ing, and the success of the school is very gratifying. The school started under adverse circumstances, having only three months notice, and opened with 1S3 students, while at present it numbers PA The capacity at first was limited, the dormitorcs not having been com pleted, but these have been finished and the capacity enlarged. The last legis- lature passed an appropriation for the school of S5,000 per annum in addition to the $15000 per annum. The school now has as complete an outfit as any in the south. The splendid corps of teach CTS is not excelled. The school will no doubt open the next session with 300 pu- pills. The personnel of the pupils is very high. The trustees meet in Montgom- cry on the 18th, and will no doubt decide to make further enlargements. Hon. John Mcqueen feels a deep interest in this school, having been instrumental in passing the bill while member of the legislature, and he will be glad to give any information touching the school

MAKING HIS PILE.

Early and late he is working

 He's never had leisure, you see. NO hand for sports-isn't active;
 And ask him to go to the play, And he'll say it's mighty attractixe-- He'd be glad to-on some other day. And suppose you suggest that he's losing The joys that make living worth while; He declares your ideas are amusing And asks: Ain't I making my pile? No wife to dispute my dominion, No children to go to the bad: Give me cash, in my humble opinion, The best friend a man ever had If you speak of the pleasures of giving He puts on a cynical smile, And remarks that you'll learn more by

Vice President Hobart sounded the first gag-note in his address to the sen ate, when he took the chair on March 1. ..'It will be my constant effort" he said, ito. aid you, so far as I may, in all reasonable expedition of the business of the senate; and [ may be permitted to express the belief that such expedition is the hope of the country. All the ir- tereSts of good government, and the ad- varcement toward a higher and better condition of things, call for prompt and positive legislation at your hands. To obstruct the regular courses of wise and prudent legislative action after the full est and fresst discussion is neither con- sistent with the true senatorial courtesy, conducive to the welfare of the people, nor in compliance with their just expec- tations."

 F. B. Talbott. of the stock exchange placed S2,OO0 at the rate of to on Cor bett and he has S2, 300 more which he is anxious to place on the same terms. Other members of the stock exchange have placed about $1,0O0 on Corbett at the same odds.
 There is an abundance of Corbett money in sight but those who favor Jim's chances and are willing to back their opinion, were not inclined to give bet ter odds than 10 to 8. Fitzsimmons back CTS wanted 10 to 2.
 Col. John H. Dunne, of this city has been commissioned by Chicago and Pitts burg parties to place 5000 on Corbett at odds of 10 to 8.
