o,BR1EN,s Goop REnoRn

Since going to England O'Brien, who holds the heavyweight .championshiu or that country, has made a notable record. On May 20, 1891. he Knocked out George Chrisp in eleven rounds for the heavyweight title June 9 he knocked out Harry Newmeier in six rounds, and on August 3 beat Jack Scales in six rounds. August 10 he knocked out Dido Plumb in six rounds and November 2 put Jack Scales to sleep in one round. On November 1S ne won from Frank Craig on n fop] Tn seven rounds, the latter being prac. tically beaten and falling to the f1oo, to avoid punishment. The only flaw n OBrien,s record is his failure to aset l,N, Nia McCoy for the heavyweight title. O'Brien consented to figbt Mc. Coy at 15S pounds for the middle. weight honors, but the latter could moi make the weight.

.aY..yes sor Released.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-~The state department has received dispatch from the United States representatives in Turkey regarding the case of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the American mission ary held captive by brigands, and her companion, Mme. Tsillza. It's contents were disappointing, the captives not having been released, as was hoped would be the case from the manner in which the negotiations looking tofthat end had been progressing lately. Off, cials are averse to discussing the case freely, but it is understood the hesita- tion of the brigands in bringing the matter to q prompt conclusion is due to their distrust of the attitude assum- ed by the Turkish authorities. The ransom money demanded has not yet been paid.

MEAcHERN's HOLLOW VICTORY.
Canadian Flyer Clipped Minute and 35 Seconds Off Worlds Record


 Philadelphia, Jan 29.-Archie Me- Eachern. the Canadian, added another victory to his string in this city by defeating Bennie Monroe of Memphis and Otto Maya of Erie, Pa, in fifteen mile motor paced bike race in the Sec ond regiment armory last night. His victory was a hollow one in that his competitors met with accidents which compelled them to leave the track. McEachern's time was 24. fl 4-5, which is one minute and thirty-five seconds better than the worlds record on an indoor track.
 The three men got away well to- gether. On the third mile the motor which Monroe was following sprang leak and the gasoline splashed in Monroe's face, momentarily blinding him and compelling him to give up the contest. McEachern kept up his hot pace and soon had Q lap on Maya. On the eleventh mile Mayas tire slipped, and this threw him heavily on the track, rendering him unconscious for several minutes. He was not badly hurt. With his opponents out, McEachern did not slacken his pace, but instead hit up his speed little more.
 Bristol, Jan 29.-W. s. Fem, the well known bicycle rider, started for Philadelphia last night. He will join q number of the other fast bicycle rid CTS and they will start February l Tor a tour of the Southern states. Their first objective point will be Atlanta, Ga.

LEc1sA4roRS PES KNIVES

The distribution Of pen knives to the
members of the Virginia Senate and House
Of Delegates. is u survival Of a custom
which was established in the days when
legislators and other writing men had no
choice but to use quill pens. A good, keen
edged knife was then needed to trim the
point of the quill and that knife the State
furnished.
It was day, too. when most Virgn.ans
used snuff. and the clerk {clark) of each
house. kept snuff box which held about
half pint. This a page took from mem
Der to MERCER to- take a pinch from.
The House of Delegates was the first
to abandon the snuff box. The Senate
clung to the box until the death of Clerk
Shelton c. Davis. some eighteen or TWEEN
ty years ago. The house led the way.
too in abandoning the custom Of furnish
ing pocket knives. It made other provt-
sion for supplying its members with sta
tionery." but Sena tors have ever chung
to their knives. They never would let
go. And now the Delegates, not to be
cutdone. have had knives distributed to
very modest pay. and perQuisites are drH>,
to US all. The State can afford this
distribution of pocket knives It's
custom not to be honored in the breach
Indeed. we shouldn't mind if they brought
back the quill pen and the snuff box: yea.

swallowtailed coat and brass buttons,

DIR. pIrr,s Address.

The Rev Dr. Pitt, OF the Religious Her
aid, of this city. seems 10 have created
sensation in Boston The question under
discussion al the Baptist congress there
was The Future of the Educated Negro
and instead OF telling the dreamy philoso-
pliers of the Hub what they desired to
hear, he placed before them some solid
chunks of wisdom.
In the year lS99-l99o, he said, there were
enrolled in the colored public schools
Of the South l,539,5o7 children. at
an annual expense of s1.llS.sli There
were ninety-two public high schools
for colored youth in the entire
country, Sc being in the South, and there
were enrolled in these $40 pupils. For
the same period there were Jas schools of
secondary and higher grade supported al
most entirely from private sources and
these had an attendance Of 1856 students.
And added DR.. Pitt, since the pubic
school system began operations in the
South, the States have spent on the negro
schools about $llao0l 900. For secondary
and higher education private gifts, al
during the same period to an equal sum.
While II is claimed by, statisticians that
IS per cent OF the negroes Of this coun-
Try are educated" Dr.. Pitt said this
merely means that they can read after
fas?lion-and write-after a more re-
markablc fashion" When" said he. I'VE
have made the term educated as elastic
as possible we can still include under it
not more Than 10000 or ! per cent of the
entire negro population,
DR.. Pitt argued. too. that, as rule.
travel does rot improve the darkey;:" that
his destiny is to be fulfilled in the Sou;a;
that he cannot be deported and viii rot
migrate. On the other hand. the doctor
could not favor a policy OF dcgradation:
"a policy of degradation Is a policy OF
murder" be said. He would have us
continue our educational and missionary
work.
On the race issue DR.. Pitt declared him
self as follows: a
do not hesitate to declare Ety own
profound conviction that at bottom the
race instinct of the whites is God given,
wholesome and iudestructible q The per-
ststence OF this race instinct Is best for
the negroes as well as for the whites

Returning to the question OF. what to 90
with the. negro after we have educated
him. DR.. Pitt said the -"ennobling career
for him is In mission work among MS
own people" 1t is This task to lift up
through the long and painful years a race
sodden In ignorance. largely bcstial and
immoral in temper and habit, but mons
the less his race"
Here In Richmond. said the doctor, the
educated negro is already at work among
his own people-physicians, lawyers. and
ministers.
The only hope the doctor saw of sue
cessful solution of ...ttle problems that Will
arise is to be found "in the sober sense
of the people OF both races and in the
gospel of Jesus Christ"
DR.. Pitts address created a great stir.
and Dr. Morris. colored man OF
prominence in Boston, replied to him In
hot terms. anita sonizing him at nearly
every point; he especially objected to our
Richmond friends use OF the word
hybrid" He said that in the list of
hybrids must be included the names of
himself, Fred. Douglas, Alexander Dumas,
and Booker T. Washington. He con-
tended. among; other things. that the
southern negro had used the ballot more
wisely than the southern white man had.
and that there We're 100000 Thy brius" in
America.
We should judge from the newspaper
accounts we have seen that the audience
sympathized with his view ral..er than
with DR.. Pitts. And yet DR.. Pitt save
them cold, hard facts!
