flxed at 100000. the sporting clans haxeI

fixed at 100000 the sporting clans have
becn talking OF little else. they have
weighed every point in tile contest.
Jeffrics, we are told. has wonderful
Skill and indomitable will. He knows
the sclenco OF the game and has every
fine point at his command, but he is
getting old fur the ring. has been
reckless In his habits of late and may
not develop tho necessary Staying
power" Tho negro, on the other
hand, Is said to have little science in
his punches. He relies on brute force,
according to some writer's. and has no
crushing blows" Yet he has youth
and self-assurance in his favor, and
can stand vast deal OF punishment.
The minute particulars OF these argu.
rncnts for and against either champion
have been printed in practically every
American newspaper To make the
comparison complete, the historians VI
the ring AMI their friends, the artists,
have described and pictured every
ring fight ofrecent years, Just to show
why this feature OF Jeffries' attack or
that point OF Jornson.s defence may
stand him In good stead
The prcliminaries of the fight have
also been chronicled with equal care
and at equal length. johnson has thus
far refused to go into training. and
spends his time fighting hotel-waitcrs
and explaining 1t to the court. jeff

ing quarters are to be built for him.
A lake is to be made that he may
have n bathing place after his eXertions
Old champions are advising him, spe-
cial masters of the manly art are to

while the promoters OF the fight are

gate receipts and in the sale of thu
moving picture rights.
The papers would not print thcs,
stories II the people did not read them
and the people would not read then
IF they were not interested in tn,
fight. Whether moralists care to ad
nit 1T or not, the great body OF oul
people are delighted at the prospect o.
two bruisers getting together to fgh
it out to a finish.
They are more Interested in this
orize-fght than in the tariff, the do
ings of Congress or the progress Of
the arts.
For our part. We have only one wish
in the matter. We hope the negro
will defeat the old champion and give
him the finest trouncing Of his LONG
career. We do not wish to see a ne
gro beat a white man, but we do wan,
to see white man defeated who will

The Date OF Easter.
"a Reader Concord. Va. sends us
the following on the date OF Easter:
In the second century a dispute
arose on this point between tho East.
ern and Western churches. The East
arn Christian celebrated Easter on the
fourteenth day OF the first Jewish
month or moon, considering 1t TO be
successor and equivalent to the Jewish
Passover. The Western churches cele-
brated 1t on the sunday after the four
teenth day, considering 1t was the COM
memoration OF the resurrection OF
Christ. In 325 the Council of Nice de-
cided In favor of the Western churches.
and that Easter should be held on
Sunday. Upon the Introduction OF the
Gregorian calendar. IN 1852 1T was de-
bated whether Easter should continue
to be movable. or whether a fixed Sun
day after March u, and Difference to
the ancient custom led the ecclesiasti-
cal authorities to adopt the following
rule in fixing the date each year: The
first Sunday after the full moon. which
happens upon or next after March Fl,
and If the full moon happens on sun
day. Easter day Is the sunday after.
therefore, Easter may come as early
as March 90. or as late as April 20.

tSinithncld ham. No New York grocer
could get this ham IL he wanted It,
and no Now York grocer would know
1T if he saw 1t.
Smithncld ham is one OF the lieri-
5tases OF this state-a sort OF sacred
treasure handed down to us from the
days OF old Virginia epicures. It
must be guarded we'll, used sparinglS
and kept for those whose appetttes
have been whetted, BY birth and breed
ing, to an appreciation OF It's worth.
Sometimes we lot our Richmond Or
Norfolk grocers ship few OF these
hams to the King OF England, or to the
Kaiser, who grows weary OF that mis-
cradle smithheld imitation raised and
cured in Westphalia. Otherwise, we
never Willingly permit a. smithtield
ham to leave the State and servo
that arlstocrat OF meats even to tho
President only when he comes to Viz
ginia.
This argus-like watch over our
hams is not due to any selfishness or
to any desire to keep our blessings
to ourselves. It is rather the result of
long experience and deep conviction
that other people do not know how TO
treat Smithfield ham when they get
one. They do not reverence the grace
full razor back shape of the meat. They
do not properly value the hickory ashes
with which the genuine Smithheld Is
always encased. Strangers handle q
Smithield ham as they would
Western sour belly, smoked in
transit between Chicago and New
York. They boil Smithfield ham as
they would greens, and never know.
how to remove the skin. to spice the
fat or to brown the beauty with COW
ering Of bread crumbs. They cut
Smithiicld ham, II they get It, as they
would cut last weeks beef for sand.
wIches-cut it into thick. heavy slices,
and never know that the full flavor Of
the ham can never be enjoyed until
one can see daylight through the
Slices.
our Northern friends will never
learn these things or appreciate the
peculiar properties Of smithfield ham.
We leave them to their ignorance. Let
them buy imported hams whose name
is their only merit. Let them buy
from the Western packer and find
their meat as heavy and as indigesti-
bic as fresh pork. Let them buy Maryff
land ham. and be content in the assur-
ance that it is almost half as good as
the genuine article.
Still, Virginia must always be hos
pitable and generous. If we do not
intend to give them our real hams. let
us at least give them ham which
they will think is smithheld. They
will never know the difference and
will be just as we'll satisfied. In fact.
If we should give away trade Sc
cret. we would remark that some OF
tile "Smithfeld" hams which are sold
in New York-probably the very hams
advertised by the New York grocer
were shipped to Virginia from New
York, put up in good form. kept for
some weeks on this soil, and then sent
back TO New York. They are good
enough. for those who cannot apprc-
ciate the real aristocrat.

."1f there has. ever before been such
turnover OF votes within sixteen
months in Yankee congressional dis
trict, we'd like to know where and
whcn.'' This is the deliberate conclu-
sion OF the Hartford Courant, after
the fearful licking the Republicans got
last Tuesday in the Cape Cod Districts;
but It Is hardly a patching to what
We are going to do before we get

KEGS are not nearly SO bad as some
people have thought at times, and
since the Courant began to eat rice

a very marked Improvement in both
It's eyesight and In it's political morals.
What it ought to do, while there Is
still time for Its thorough repentance,
is to get into the Democratic band
wagon. Surely, by this time 1t must
have gotten weary of It's political as
sociations, and, although we have rare
~ been on the side OF the majority,
we have understood that 1t was very
comforting to be lined up with those
who can do what they want without re-
sponsibility to anybody. Connecticut
Is naturally a Democratic State. and
old man Clark looks exactly like a
Democrat of the best class. What lie
ought to do now is to get In with the

There is no reason why the Charlotte
Observer should get cloudy" about
the reflections Of the New York Sun
on the general type of the hotels in
the South. because some of the worst
hotels in the world are to be found
in the grand Old North state. We have
been at several of these places OF en-
tertainment where the sheets had not
been changed since Andy Jackson left
his native home In South Carolina TO
carve his fortune in the West. This
sort Of thing is all right when IT comes
to eggs. but it is very bad when the
rule is applied to bedding.

A 1,oRGoTTEN IDOL,

Under small head line. on the sixth
page, one of the New York papers OF
Tuesday announced that william Trav-
ers Jerome was to be chief counsel for
the New York poultry trust. The pa
per did not feature" the story, for the
good and simple reason that nobody
cares whether Jerome appears for this
trust or not. Jerome has ceased to
interest the public. He has disappear
ed among a mass of other New York
lawyers who only set into the papers
when they have case which is Of
widespread public interest.
The submergence OF Jerome is typi-
cal OF n curious condition of American
life. We forget men as soon as they
cease to hold impressive Offices We
cannot recall their names within few
months after they get out OF the lime
light Jerome is probably as astute
is ever. and Is doubtless as interesting
a personality to-day as he was when
he quashed the insurance indictments
or prosecuted the Thaw case. His pow
crs, we suppose have not decreased
since he went out of Office, but as the
Office made the man famous, when the
man ceased to hold the Office, he ceased
to be famous.
In Jerome's case there were partic.
ular reasons why this general princi-
pie We're borne out Whether
rightly or not. Jerome had lost his hold
upon the people before lie lost his
place. Men were beginning to suspect
that the attorney was working more
for public approval than for the pub
lie good. Newspaper men were com.
pairing him, in chaste terms, to ball
player who thinks more about the
spectators in the grandstand than
about the game
Then, too, Jerome could not flourish
when there was nothing spectacular at
which to play. He did not like the
grind of his Office. He would not en-
dure the routine He wanted to hold
the centre Of the stage with the spot-
light on him. while the hddlers of tho
public press and the trumpeters Of the
forum sounded his praises When
mclodramatic work did not fall to his
lot he sulked in his tent and lot his
young assistants protect the Interests
of the commonwealth. Tho people did
not like this. They wanted ] erome to
shine. of course, when there was a
great case before the Bar, but they
wanted him to work as hard over the
conviction ofan East Side murderer
as on Harry Thaw's case.
The people are. after all, the safe
judges. and they We're right in this
case Abraham Lincoln was not de-
ce1ved in his estimate of them, Jerome
fooled some Of them all the time. and
allsot them some or the time, but when
lits came TO CARRYING through his blu,,
at the polls for the second term. he
found that he could not fool all the
| people, Or even a majority OF them, all
ithe5tlme. Like jerome, like many.
