"The Pride Of Jennico u

"The Pride of Jennieo."
 The Pride of Jennico" has lost none of its popularity. The company headed by Wallace Worsley in the title role, supported by Miss Katherine Erie and a company of twenty people. was warmly received by the audience at the Jefferson theater last night. The play is we'll staged. MT. Worsley suffers but little when compared with James Hackett, who starred in the play last season. There was plenty of fire and love and sentiment in MT. Worsley's portralal of the part.
 Miss Erie was the naughty princess, but her beauty and her gowns outshine her haughtiness. Miss Susanne Halpren as the gypsy girl, Michel deserves men, ton at least, for she put much spirit in the play. She made the most of the slight opportunities she had. The villain was MT Landon as Prince Eugene of Susatia," and he was so villainous that the audience detested him. MT. Romaine won no little applause as the swaggering nobleman, "Sir John Bedders."
 The play is a melodrama, full of swords and that sort of thing. Just such play as the confirmed theater-goer likes never lacking in interest or excitement. The numerous curtain calls attested the ac- ceptability of the play as presented last night. It will be seen today at a mati- nee; and again tonight, which will close the engagement.

WAN IS HELP FUR 'POOR WHITE BOY'' R. H. Edmonds Addresses Southern Cotton Spinners SCHOLARSHIPS SUGGESTED Some of the Schools Have Not Kept Pace With the country's
 Growth In Material
 Wealth.

Atlanta, November 15.-The Southern Cotton Spinners' Association concluded its work today.
 The feature of the morning session was the address of R. H. Edmunds editor of the Manufacturers Record of Baltimore The particular thought brought out in his speech was the duty of the South to the poor white boy" He suggested that each manufacturer of the South endow a scholarship at some industrial school for the purpose of educating young men who were unable to bear the expenses of education. This, he said, would cost only small amount probably not more than sl25 year, and would prove of incalcula- ble benefit to the South industrially.
 He referred to the excellent work being done in score of Southern schools, but said:
 Schools Unprogressve.
 Some of our schools, perhaps the ma jority, we must regretfully acknowledge, haven't kept pace with the growth in material wealth of their respective states. For this their faculties cannot be held responsible In more than one of the oNA us llAlB lASlllullOuS are to De IOunQ investigators and teachers second to none in earnestness and fidelity to their call ing. It Is not the fault of the boys. They are knocking for admission in ever-in- creasing number. The blame lies with public opinion, which permits legislature after legislature to adjourn without re- ceiving sufficient encouragement from taxpayers to justify more liberal appro- priations for the kind of public education that pays. That opinion is gradually changing, as under the guidance of an alert press the people are beginning to perceive that as is production. so also ought to be the means of training men to produce, and as such means increased, so is productive capacity increased"
 Southern Boys Need Aid.
 Mir. Edmunds quoted extensively from letters showing the desire of Southern boys to receive legitimate aid. Every technical school in the South is helping to train as many as possible by furnish ing work in payment of board Hundreds of boys are working their way through these schools by acting as walters in the dining rooms and as helpers around the stables and dairies where farms are at tached to the schools. But thousands are unable to secure even these opportuni- ties and have to be turned away. He con- tended that the whites of the South should not permit friends in the North to do more specifically for the industrial education of the negroes, as at Hampton and Tuskegee, than the South is willing to do.
 J. H. McAden was elected vice president and c. B. Bryant of Charlotte, N. C., was chosen secretary.
 The next convention will be held in Charleston in May, 1902. The board of governors was increased from nine to twelve.

Ruhlin lacked aggressiveness and retreated as Jeffries swung left and right and missed. Gus led for the face and Jim pushed him across the ring. Then the champion walked across the ring again and landed a fierce left on the jaw. Ruhln shot out intellectual lefts Jeffries waded in whal- ing Ruhlin with left and right. Gus went down and took the count. He came up apparently weak and the gong saved him. Ruhlin was plainly in the greatest distress when the round closed. This round was much in Jeffries' favor.
