BOB FITZsiN1 M o MS.
THE EN-CHAMPIoN. TALKS OF
JEFERIES' DEFY.

JEFFRIES' DEFY.
Ex-Champion Bob Fitzsimmons was
the mark for many curious eyes yes
terday during his stay here With his
company for the performance of THE
Honest Blacksmith at the Academy
last night.
He stopped at the Monticello with
Mrs. F'itzsimmons and Bob. Jr., and
for tho most part of the day was in
company with Mr.. Stokes. During the
forenoon he entertained large num-
Der of people by making horse-shoes
at the blacksmith shop OF James Bark
ley, in Concord lane.
A Virginian-Pilot representative in
terviewed him on the subject OF the
def issued by Champion Jeffries to
meet any man in the world next We'd
nesday at a New York theatre and
make arrangements for a fight. Mr.
Fitzsimmons had to say in this mat
ter that in his opinion the whole az
fair is nothing more or less than a
scheme to advertise the show that
Jeffries has been starring in. which
has not been a success. He said that
.Icffrcs accepted his challenge for n
fight not long ago and then backed
out, and seeing that there was no
probability OF retting up q match he
SisHcu co'it1"'t ioi 'ii y "cenS
tour of the country in his play. Con-
tinung he stated that Jeffries knew
this to be fact, and also knew that
he would not break his contract TO
enter into any negotiations for a fight
which would in all probab never
come off. Mr.. Fitzsimmons concluded
his talk by exclaiming. that he would
not think OF entering the ring before
his contract with the show expired:
that he is sorry Jeffries has TO resort
10 such tactics to boom his MAY. and
that ne hoped that the manager of
he Jenries organization would not be
compelled to cancel all his dates on ac-
count of poor business.

Editor Virginian- Pilot:
The people OF Norfolk. and especially
the business men, should feel CRATE
tul to you for the noble fight YOU are
making to defend them against tho
burdens that the Bell Telephone Com
pany are seeking to impose upon them.
1t requires no little nerve for a paper
70 take the stand you did against the
Norfolk and Western and the Bell
company; yet the highest ambition of
any paper should be to be a true
Waterman on the walls and to "hew
to the line" I am at a lost to under
stand how any body of intelligent men
men of business, elected to serve tho
best interest of the people-should turn
their backs upon their own people and
cast their votes and influence in favor
OF a gigantic corporation like the He'll
Company. / know it's generally eX-
pected that the lawyers are supposed
to do almost anything for money; yet
l have but little opinion of any at
torney who would. for paitry con-
sideration, use his talents to oppress
his fellow townsmen. Any man would
be fit subject for the Lunatic
Asylum who fails to see the danger
that threatens us after your exposure
of the whole matter. 1t took cutie a
sum to buy the Hon. Thos Martin n
seat in the U. S. Senate and defeat
that soldier and statesman. Fitz Lee.
Wonder how much the BELL people
have been giving of late for charitable
purposes? Suppose all the facts were
brought to light. would it be interest

Unexrected Opposition.

While Lord Kitchener was engaged
In suppressing the Prieska rebellion he
ordered the destruction of a certain
farmhouse. Not seeing any signs of
his orders being carried out, he rode
over with his staff and found an inter-
esting situation.
In the doorway of the doomed farm
house stood pretty young Dutch girl,
her hands clasping the doorposts and
her eyes flashing FIRE from beneath her
dainty sunbopnet. The Irish sergeant
in charge Of the party Of destruction
was vaiply endeavorins to persuade
her to let them pass In, but TO all his
Establishments Of "Arrah darliut, w1sha
now, acushla." etc, the maiden turned
q deaf ear. and q deadlock prevailed.
Kitchener's sharp Whats this?" put
a climax to the scene.
The girl evidently guessed that this
was the dreaded chief Of staff, and her
lips trenbled In spite Of herself.
Kitchener gazed sourly at her, stand
ing brsvely though tearfully there, and
turned to his military secretary. Put
down,'' he growled, that the COM
mander's orders with reference to the
destruction of Rightman's farm could
not be carried out owing to unexpected
opposition. Forward, gentlemen"
