Meharry is the creation of one man,

an errand of mercy, a for a half
century devoted himself singly to the

The school laboratories are highly
creditable to the energy and intelli

Yet was he keyed up keenly obsarv-
ant of all that was going on, even
hearing much of the confused babble
Of the tongues about him-hearing,

There is nothing heavy nor print
tive about the mar Johnson. He is
alive and quivering, every nerve fiber

under that pose Of facetious calm Of
his.
He is a marvel of sensitiveness,
feasibility and pe~rceptibility. He has
a perfect mechanism of mind and
body. His mind works like chain
lightning, and his body obeys with
equal swiftness.
But the great madness of applause
went up when Jeffries entered the
ring two minutes later. A quick sup
CRITICAL comparison between him and
the Negro would have led to a feeling
of pity for the latter. For Jeffriee
was all that has been said of him.
When he stripped and his mighty
body could be seen, covered with mat;
of hair, all the primordial adjectiveS
ever applied to him received theil
v%indication. Nor did his face belle

that face, no whims of the moment
no futterings of a light-hearted tenn

ONE OF BEST IN COUNTRY.
Meharry Medical College Well Spoken
Of in Carnegie Report.

In the general criticism which the
medical colleges Of Tennessee re-
ceiyed at the hands of the Carnegie
Foundation, Meharry was especially
well spoken of being classed as one
of the two colored medical colleges
in the country that was worthy of Sc
rious consideration. The entire ex-
tract in regard to these colleges is as
follows.
"The medical care of the Negro
will never be wholly left to Negro
physicians. The practice of the Ne.
gro doctor will be limited to his own
race, which in it's turn will be cared
for better by good Negro physicians
than by poor white ones, but the ply
steal w~ell-being of the Negro is no.

Ten million of them live in close con

rise up, heaven alone knows where,

and then again he may not. So far
the burden Of proof all rests on the
conclusion that Johnson has no yell
low streak.
And now to the battle, and how it
began. All praise to Tex Richard,
the gamest Of sports, who pulled off
Inc fight after countless difficulties,
and who, cool, calm and quick with
nervous aliveness, handled the vast
crowd %splendidly at his arena, and
wound up by refereeing the fight.
Twenty thousand filled the great
arena and waited patiently under the
cloud-aecked, wide Nevada sky. OF
the many women present, some elected
to sit in the screen boxes far ba3k
from the ring, for all the world like
olden Spanish ladies at the theater.
But more, many more, women sat
close to the ringside beside their hus-
bands or brothers. They were wiser
far.

FIRE ENGINE TURNS TURTLE
WoodIand-Street %Company's Steamer
Goes Over EmpanKment.

While the Woodland-street fire COM
pany of East Nashville was answering
a silent alarm last night the driver
ran over an embankment, the engine
turning turtle and considerable dam
age resulting. The driver and fire
men escaped almost unhurt. The
horses were uninjured but the engine
was rather badly crippled.
When the fireman at the lumber
yard of Love, Boyd & Co. beyond the
Broadway Bridge, east of the river,
discovered a slight blaze around the
boiler he became alarmed and hur-
ried away to ask the fire department
to come down.
He telephoned to Main 215-the
Woodland-street company, the only
Negro company of the department
and one of the fastest il
the city. The iremen hur
ried off down the river bani
to the little blaze. Out beyond the
Broadway Bridge the path is pretty
narrow, and, going at a rapid clip
the machine slid over a 12-foot EN-
bankment. The engine turned half
way over, landing on its nose. The
driver went over, too, and was badl!
shaken up, but escaped without sc
rious injury. The engine tongue
snapped, probably saving the horses

oE CASE.

The much mooted question as to
whether Attorney r. l.. Mayfield

him by the justice of the court
against Rev. h. w. ID. Isaac, Secretary
of the Baptist Young Peoples Union
Board and Editor of the National
Baptist Union, of this city; Rev. E.
G.. Morris, d. d., President Of the Ma
tional Baptist Convention, of Helena,
Ark; and Rev. e. j. Fisher, Pastor of

strength of his suit that he was en-
