and went into the show business in the
afternoon and evening, for which. 1t Is
said, he received 81 1000. Last night Walter
Watson. who gave Corbett his first les
sons in boxing, dropped in on Jim, and the
two lamented the decadence Of the noble
art Of self-defense in the Olympic Club.
Both agreed that there was too much Of
theatrical and not enough of acrobatics
and pugilists Corbett was in doubt wheth-
er he would do any training or not today
He said that he anticipated tiresome
Journey from this city to Nevada. and as
he wished to begin active work upon his
arrival at training quarters, he deemed 1t
wise to lay off for the day.
With retinue of trainers and compan-
ions the champion will leave this evening
for Shaw's Springs, where he will train
until the day of the fight. He has received
a telegram informing him that all Is in
readiness for his arrival. The party which

feet square and will, of course, be tenn
porary. as the race track people would not
allow a permanent structure to be put up
on the track 1t Is understood that II Cor
Keno he will be arrested, because one of
the scenes portrays a boxing match, and

ne must get out license for boxing. 1t Is
understood that Corbett will sinnnIv mass

IN MEMORY OF DOUGLASS
The Colored High School Celebrates His
Birthday.

The anniversary of the birth of Frederick
Douglass. which occurred yesterday, was
celebrated this afternoon by the pupils of
the colored high school at the High School
building on NJ street near I'd street north
west.
Shortly before IL o'clock the pupils, head
ed by their teachers and to music on the
piano, marched from their rooms to the
assembly hall, where the exercises were
held.
Principal w. s. Montgomery presided.
The program was opened with the singing
by the pupils. under the direction of Mr..
w. B. Hayson. Of Douglass favorite hymn.
Seeking for Me-" eulogy Frederick
Douglass by Rev. F. ]. Grimke followed.
DIR. Grimke dwelt on the character of
Frederick Douglass, which he commended
TO the attention. he said. of every man
who aspires to be leader of the negro
race. Among other things he said:
For more than fifty years he was before
the public. not infreQuently during that
time the object of the bitterest hatred, and
yet during all those years. in the face
Of the strongest opposition, with the worst
passions arrayed against him. no one
has dared even to whisper anything derog-
atory of him. or in any way rejecting
upon the purity Of his life or upon the hon
esty and Integrity of his character.
There have been among us, in the past
history of our race. men who were richly
endowed intellectually, and who. like him.
also possessed that rarest of gifts. the
mighty gift of eloquence; men who could
hold entranced great audiences by the
hour the fame of whose eloquence has
come down to US. but when you have said
that of them you have said all. Beyond
that you dare not go.
lone of the things that l am especially
pround of today is that this greatest rep
resentative that our race has yet produced
was a pure man of unblemished reputation.
a man of sterling integrity of character.
whose example we can commend to our
children and to the generations that are
to come. Let us make much of this. and
let the fiat go forth. let 1t ring out from
every pulpit and from every school house.
from every hill top and from every valley.
that any man who aspires to leadership
among us must be pure. In the presence
Of the splendid record that is before me,
with the full knowledge Of what this man
was, and what his sentiments were, 1
stand here today and in the name Of Fred
erick Douglass say to this black race all
over this country, stand up for a pure
leadership, honor the man and men only
whose character you can respect and
whose example you can commend to your
children"
At the close Of DIR. Grimke's speech the
Battle Hymn of the Republic" was sung.
after which the school was dismissed for
the day.
