P|TTSDURG PREACHER
FINDS FIGHTING GOOD
Goes to See Bout and Returns
Satisfied That There Is
Nothing Wrong in It.

One of the most sensible articles which
lave as yet come to light in connection
with boxing and prize fighting so-called is
the expression Of the views Of a minister,
the Rev. DR.. R. L. Coffee, of Pittsburg.
Here Is what he has to say on the SUBJ
ject:
II went to McKeesport the other day
to witness an evening prize fighting. In
the first place, there was nothing in the
four bouts of the evening that could be
termed brutal. A football contest is far
more grueling. The men who contested
were trained for the occasion. While
two men were knocked out, yet a minute
later both climbed out of the ring and
walked to the dressing rooms.
The audience was a surprise to me.
Those in attendance showed every out
ward sign of responsibility. The ma
3ority were men in middle age, business
people,, and quite a few professional men.
The policemen in attendance had nothing
to do, and there was nothing to indicate
anything save a spirit of ~law-abiding citi-
~zenship. Boxing In itself is a manly art.
There are few forms Of athletics that can
excel the benefits Of boxing for the de-
velopraent of strength and there car be
little objection to friendly contests where
the end in view Is the Improvement OF
the physique. The subject OF prizt fight
ing has been brought to the front by the
fight OF Jeffries and Johnson on Indepen.

ness. II hundreds Of men are willing tt
leave their cities to see this conflict, the,

DR.. Coffee's objection to the Jeffries
Johnson contest is because he fears tha
from it there is grave danger of race
prejudice, which is another question al
together.

the Christ in the Passion Play by the

Sioux City, who recently saw the play
and who has written of her experience:
Sojourning with a party of about 10

the part of the rabbi. Miss Williges
has had opportunity to learn much of
the famous play that heretofore has
not been published. The crown of

ing pain. At the end Of the play he is
almost exhausted from his effort.
Miss Williges says in part:
II am staying with IL others at the
home Of the man who plays the part
of the rabbi in the play. One daugh-
ter sings In the chorus, another is ar

at Is in every ones heart soul
to be in the play. They have to divide
the children in three divisions and let
them play on different days so that
none be left out.
after the pest of 1888, when the
play was begun, it was made a law
that no married woman can appear In
the play. This was done in order that
the married women might care for the
homes while the others are playing.
