Some of the northern newspapers doubt
less will critici-e the governor of Missis
sippi severely for his failure to prevent the
Sullivan-Kilrain prize fight from taking
place in that state. The New York Tri
bune. several days before the fight occured,
said that the fight could not take place in
any northern state because public senti
ment in those states was so hostile to such
brutal exhibitions that the authorities
were compelled to do their duty and pre
sent them, and that, therefore, riullivan,
Kilrain and their backers were forced
to select fighting ground in the south.
Asa matter of fact, public sentiment in
the south is as much against prize fighting
as it is in the north. The Morning News
pointed out a few days ago that prize light
ers and the class of men who associate with
them and encourage them are, as a rule,
northern men. With the possible exception
of New Orleans, there was a g eat deal
more interest in the Sullivan-Kilrain tight
in the north than there was in the south.
The scenes that were witnessed in northern
cities, when the result of the fight became
known, were not paralleled in southern
cities.
There were several reasons why the
battle ground was selected in the south
rather than in the north, but no one of them
was that there was less hostility to ; rizo
fighting in the south than in the north.
What was desired was an available battle
ground in the vicinity of a largo city,
and that was found near New’ Orleans.
Nowhere close to that city except up the
river, is the country thickly settled, and
it was comparatively easy, thoreiore, to
find a place where the fight could take place
before the police or military could interfere'
The governor of Mississippi exerted him
self to the utmost to prevent the fight from
taking place in that state. He had a mili
tary company under arms on the day of the
fight, and he had issued a special warning
to the sheriffs of each county. He had
done more than that. He had offered 3 1,000
reward for the arrest of Sullivan and Kil
rain if they broke the p'ace of Mississippi.
He would have succeeded in preventing the
fight if the Queen and Crescent Railroad
Company, which conveyed the principals
aDd their motley crowd to the battleground,
had not helped the law-breakers to violate
the law.
It is a question whether the railroad com
pany has not placed itself in a position to
be severely dealt with by Mississippi. It
has received certain privileges from that
state, and is bound to exercise them in a
way that will not nullify the laws for the
protection of society It aided and abetted
the law breakers and made itself accessory
to their crime. If tbo officers of the law do
not prosecute it the chances are that the
legislature will limit its privileges. It will
probably discover that the few dollars it
received from the prize fighting crowd were
obtained at too dear a price. If there be
no way in which a railroad company can
be punished in Mississippi and othew states
for encouraging prize fighting, a way should
be provided as quickly as possible.
Why Dudley is Ignored.
It seems to be about impossible to get at
the real reason of the President’s refusal to
have aay communication with Col. Dudley,
who was the treasurer of the republican
campaign committee. They had been close
friends for many years, aud during the lust
national campaign they wore in almost
daily communication with each other. As
soon as Gen. Harrison was elected, how
ever, he gave Col. Dudley the cold shoulder.
It was said that the “blocksof five” lotier
was the cause of the trouble between them
—the President declaring that he would
have nothing to do with a man capable of
writing such a letter. This explanation
was, of course, very creditable to the
President, and created the impression that
he intended that his administration should
4t least be an honest one.
Another explanation is now given. It is
that Col. Dudley formed a kitchen cabinet
for the purpose of controlling the app >int
meuts of all officials who could be made
useful in money-making schemes in con
nection with government contracts. Offi
cials who have the giving out of contracts
are to be found ehietly in the postoffice and
interior departments. It is alleged that
Col. Dudley and his kitchen cabinet had
arranged for the control of the star route
contracts, and secured assurances that they
would be favored in the pension
bureau. When the President heard
about Col. Dudley’s kitchen cabinet scheme
he resolved to have no more to do with
that wily individual, and to thwart his
scheme. He has certainly ignored Col.
Dudley, but it is by no means certain that
be has thwarted his scheme.
Col. Dudley appears to have an immense
amount of influence in the departments.
He may not get all he asks for, but he gets
a great deal, and unless the President keep*
a very sharp lookout, he and his friends
w ill get a pretty big share of the surplus,
which, by the way, the administration
seems determined to distribute.
Cases in which men and women have
eloped with oach other are very numerous,
but one woman very rarely elopes with an
other. An instance of this kind is reported
from a Colorado town, however. Miss
Clara Dietrich, aged 24 years, and Miss Ora
Chatfield, aged 15 years, became greatly
attached to each other, and they were con
tinually writing each other love letters;
and as Miss Dietrich was the postmistress,
she probably allowed the lotters to be passed
unstamped. Their curious cotidu t attracted
public attention, and they were separa’ed.
They meet again, however, and
to prevent another separatio l they eloped
to Denver. It is thought that the older
woman is not of sound mind, and a medical
examination would probably establish the
fact that the younger one was open to sus
picion in the same direction.
The fourth annual session of the Georgia
State Horticultural Society will be held at
Griffin July 31 and Aug. 1 and 2, 1889, and
at the same time an exhibition of fruits,
plants and vegetables will be made. A cir
cular issued by the president of the society,
Mr. P. J. Berckmans of Augusta, says that
“all horticulturists, fruit growers and pro
gressive agriculturists, and especially the
ladias of Georgia,” are invited to attend,
aud to send such articles for exhibition as
will make the display creditable to skill
and careful cultivation in horticulture.
During tbs session soveral interesting ad
dresses will be delivered. Mr. T. L. Kinsey
of Sivannah is the secretary of the society.
This item is going the rounds of the north
ern newspapei-s: “Take the railroads of the
north and south, mile for mile, and wo have
accidents to their one, aud some of
the railroad publications are woudering
why this is so.” When the railroad publi
cations settle this question, they should give
wide publicity to their decision.
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1889.
The High School Tuition Fee.
The question of making tuition free in
the high schools of this county was dis
cussed at the meeting of ibe board of edu
cation on Monday nig it. A fee of $1 per
month for each pupil is now charged, aud
the amount received from this source is
about f.5,000 per annum.
When the high school was mads a part of
the public school system, that system was
not as popular in this city as it is at pre-ent.
In fact, the opposition to free schools 'as
strong. The taxpayersci ntonded that th y
ought not to be taxed for educational pur
poses. There was also a doubt whether a
tax for the suppi rtof schools in which any
thing more ti.au the branches of a common
school education were taught was legal.
Even the city authorities. who
were clothed with autnority to
make appropriations for school
purposes when it was first proposed to in
clude the high school fn the public school
system, ar.u afterward the grand jury,
when the duty of providing for the support
of the schools devolved upon that body,
were reluctant to make the high school a
free school. These and other reasons were
deemed sufficient to justify tne present
tuition fee.
It is thought by some that the time has
come when it would he advisable to abolish
the tuition fee. There are instances where
boys and girls have had to leave the hign
school becau e their parents could not af
ford to pay this fee, and a good many have
not entered the school at all, being barred
out by it.
It is the purpose of the board of educa
tion to use its utmost efforts to make the
high school a free sell iol —pmtting it in that
respect on a footing with schools of a
lower grade. The board, doubtless, will
have the support of public sentiment. It
certainly ought to have. Whether or not
the board is successful, however, depends
upon the grand jury.
A Spunky Actress.
A young actress in New York wants $lO,
000 from a firm of cigarette manufacturers
for circulati g immodest pictures of her
self in packages of cigarettes. Exactly
whom the young woman is does not seem
clear, but her st ige name is Gracis Wade.
No doubt she is trying to keep her real
name from the public, because of the un
pleasant notoriety into which the case
would bring her. Although mys
tery may attach to the
plaintiff, however, the suit is a very prac
tical affair. A picture of the young lady
was obtained from a photographer, it is
supposed, und from it were reproduced
many smaller ones, the heads of which
were attached to p ctures of a figure in
tights, and these composite pictures were
circulated r s an advertisement. When the
young lady’s attention was called to them,
she raturally became very indignant, and
nt once instituted a suit. The penal code of
New York says that a malicious publica
tion by writing, printing, picture, effl y,
sign or otherwise than by speech, which
exposes any person to hatred, contempt,
ridicule or obloquy, or which causes or
tends to cause any person to be shunned
or avoided, or which has a tendency to in
jure any person in his or her business cr
occupation is a libel.
There aro many instances in which im
modest pictures of women have been ob
tained and circulated in this way. Boms of
them Were obtained and circulated with the
consent of the original-, but probably in
most cases they were not. Only a few
months ago it came to the knowledge of n
gifted literary woman of the north, against
whoso reputation there was not a breath
of suspicion, that she had been subjected to
an indignity of this kind.
This practice oa the part of people who
wish to advertise their wares is a most rep
rehensible one. If manufacturers and oth
ers aro so intent upon gain as to be indiffer
ent to the damage they may do to the cha -
actors of women in this way, aud to the
evil influence such pictures may exert upon
young boys into whose hands they fall, the
courts should bring them to a realization of
the magnitude of their offense.
Mr. George O. Jones, "ho issued a call
the other day for a national greenback con
vention, seems to be an impartial sort of
person. He slashes away at ex-President
Cleveland and President Harrison with
equal relish and vigor. Concerning Mr.
Cleveland he cays: “The interests and
welfare of Americans never seemed to enter
his mind. He put himself above his party
and repe.led honest advisers. He alone
came to think himself a great man,” and
concerning President Harrison he says:
“Few sensible men believed on March 4.
ISS9, that anyone could ever make Cleve
land’s administration respectabl >, but unless
President Harrison soon quits devoting ali
his lime to office seekers, and looks after
the interests of the people, he will accom
plish that result.” Doubtless, in Mr. Jones’
opinion, a greenback President would do
tis whole duty by the country, but the
chances for the election of a greenback
President are not promising. Mr. Jones
will have to put up with either a democrat
or a republican as long as he lives.
Secretary Tracy may boa good lawyer,
but he seems to have made a mistake in or
dering.t at four additional stars for the
four new states be placed on the United
States flag on July 4, 1889. The law upon
this subject is as folions: “On the admis
sion of anew state into the union, one star
shall be added to the union of the flag, and
such addition shall take place oa the four.h
day of July then next succeeding the ad
mission.” A marine officer, speaking of
thismatter, says that it is all right for pri
vate parties to have flags containing forty
two stars, but that the government must
have the legal flag or none. Until July 4,
1890, the legal flag will contain thirty-eight
stars.
Mr. J. G. McPhaul is showing what can
be done with a vinevard in Worth county,
Georgia. His “Moselle Vineyard,” at
Poulan, covers about twelve acres, planted
in select varieties of grapes, aud he expects
to get from it this year fifty tons of grapes.
This land some years ago could have been
bought for $1 an acre. Mr. McPhaul says
that his part of the state has been regarded;
as being of but comparatively little value
for agricultural aud horticultural pur
poses, and he determine 1 to show what it
could do. He certainly has succeeded in
showing that its lands can be cultivated
with profit.
The Shah of Persia is looking after the
interests of his country while he is making

bank will undertake to develop mineral
fields aud build railroads in Persia.

A Beauty’s Startling Costume.
From the Washington Critic.
Of course the dear girl never fancied that the
gown would be loud and attract attention to
her beauty, for she was a oeauty. But it did.
Tr e dress prop--r was of a creaniy-pink-wb.te
material and sleeveless. Over t all was a black
lacs overdress, through which the ronnded
arms gleamed bewitcbingly. The white part
of the dress was just the color of the girl’s arms
and neck, aud toe black iace overdress was
flrape l artistically, as if to conceal tbe cnarms
it reveale 1. But to com.- across those arms and
shou ders in the crowd coming from the music
at the while house Satur ay evening, look
ing for ail tbe world as J toe girl didn’t have
o:i Ling but the transparent black lace,
wa startling, even to the degree of |be:ag un
nerving. ’

His Fatal Blemish.
From the Chicago Tribune.
He had taken a vacant seat in the car by the
side of a lovely young girl w'tfh w'hom be had
some acquaintance already, and whom lie was
ardently desirous of impressing favorably. Un
d r the spell of his brilliant conversational
powers and the giance of his dark hazel eye the
tell-tale blush had risen to her cheek and bore
mute yet eloquent testimony to tlie progress the
presumptuous youth was making in her good
graces. Carelessly handing the train boy a
quarter of a dollar and requesting the worth of
it in caramels, he was about to resume tiie con
versation that bad been interrupted for the
moment, when he saw the flush die out of the
y ung lady's face and a cold, indifferent,
weaned look take its place, and be knew a
blight had fallen forever on his budding
hopes.
On what trifles hang the destinies of two
human lives: As the’boxes of caramels were
thrown by the train boy on the young man’s lap
they f'l t .* h - door, and his fair companion
had noted the reason.
”i. an ne.er unity a man,” she had said to
herself, "as bow-leggedas he is."
Waiting Thirty Years for Her Lover.
From the Chicago Tribune.
A roman ic story is connect)! with the life
of a wotna i whofr*qu nts the railroad station
in Manchester, N. H. She is about 51 years rid,
but now bent witn care and ner long handsome
tr sses streaked witn gray; she aleavs carries
a traveling bag in her ha id, and as the crowds
arrive she scans each p rsOn eagerly, and then
turns sudly away. The woman some thirty
years ago was one of the belles of the city,
courted by many. The favored lover, however,
foil iweU the sea.
One day he left for a voyage. Their troth
had bee . plighted, and on his return be was to
lead her to tne altar, but the sailor lover never
returned, ami no message came to explain his
absence. TANARUS, e grief and disappointment c used
the woman a long illness. When she recovered
etie insisted that her lover was true, and even
if he was otherwise she would remain c instant.
For this reason sue goes to the railro id s ation
to greet him home, and ai r.ost every day for
t e last thirty years, winter and summer,
-pring and autumn, in fair weather and foul,
she has been there on this errand. She is re
iring in her disposition, and never frequeuts
the waiting rooms or mingles with the crowd
upou the platform.
She Dared to Be Original.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Now comes a girl who is plump enough to be
we 1 rounded without a sugg-stion of corpu
lence slender enough to be graceful withal,
unconscious of self enough to be modest with
mt prud ry. merry enough to be charming
without affectation, and with a touch of orig
inality about her costume that makes her still
more interesting. It is not in the headdress, a
blue and white handkerchief tastefully ar
ranged, from under which a heavy plait of
golden hair falls below the w aist , and ends in a
curly tangle; nor in the suit, wb cb is like many
others, a blue jersey cloth with a scroll pattern
n white braid on collar and wristbands, belt
and skirt, but she has remembered how pretty
A white hand looks in a darn mitt, and ap ly
ing the knowledge in another direction has
out aw-ay part of the foot of the stock
.ng, exposing the daintiest, whitest toes, with
pink tiutings as beautitul as a baby’s. Not one
in twenty could have done it: for an unsightly
corn or other b etr.ish would have been fatal to
the effect, but there is nothing of the kind here.
As Per escort joins her he casts a sly glance
downward and begins to laugh. Her eyes do not
once fall to her feet; it is not necessary, for she
ins made an exhaustive study thereof in
private. Col iring slightly she laughs up at him
and says: “You sai l I either knew now nor
would dare to be original. What now?’ His
answer is not audible, hut they pas * on smiling.
In anotner minute they brace themselves to
meet a breaker, and mademoiselle of the toes
disappears to make her bow to the little fishes
and her sister sea nymphs.
Her Glass Eye Didn’t Work.
From the New Orleans Picayune.
Avery curious cause lately came before the
justice of the peace of Nenilly, France. Some
time ago Mme. Pluyette, a widow of 50, but
who still attaches much importance to personal
appearance, had the misfortune in playing with
a lap-dog to receive from it so severe a wound
in one ->f her eyes that it came out of the sock
et. Having heard much of artificial eyes aud
being recommended to apnly t > an expert
manufacturer iu this way named Tamsier, she
gave an order for a glass eye. for which the op
tician charged 100 francs is2o). Refusing to
pay this charge, the manufacturer summoned
her before the justice of the peace.
Mine. Pluyette having appeared, holding the
glas; eye in her hand, tne judge asked her why
she refused to pay the bill which JJ. Tamsier
had sent in.
"For a very good reason.” replied the defend
ant. ”1 can see no more with this eye than I
could before.”
"What?” said the judge. “Did you really im
i-'" that you would be able to see with a glass
eye?”
Bid I think so?” retorted the angry dame
"Certainly I did. Will you be so good as to
tell me what eyes are for except to sea with* I
ordered the eye for use, and until M. Tamsier
makes me one with wuich I can see I will not
pay him a sou.”
The justice of the peace endeavored to con
vince Mme. Pluyette that glass eyes were for
others to look at an i not for the wearer to look
• brought but. finding ail apoeali to her reason
of no avail, he condemned her to pay the plain
tiff the amount of his demand. Wb*n tbe de
fendant heard tbe decision she became furious
witn auger, and, after dashing her glass eye on
the floor, she rushed out of court amid tbe
laughter of tne Crowd-
Human Nature on tbe Highway.
From the New Fork Sun
il Avas on a highway running into a city in
Pennsylvania. One man was driving out with
a load of brick, and the other driving in with a
load of Lay. Both attempted to get the best
side of a mud bole, and as a consequence tlieir
teams came head to hya;l and st ipped.
“You, there:" shouted the brick man.
“You there yourself'” replied the other.
"Going to turn out?”
•‘No.”
“Neither will I.”
"Pli stay uere a whole year first!”
‘‘And I’ll stay ten of them!”
Both proeeedel to make themselves as com
fortable as possible, and to appear careless
and in Afferent as to results. Other travelers
took the other side of the hole, and passed them
by, so it became a question of endurance. At
tho end of an hour the hay man said:
“If there’s any one man I hate above another
it’s a human hog.”
‘ Then it's a wonder you haven t hated your
self to death:” was the retort, and silence
re gned supreme again. Another hour passed,
and the brick man observed:
“Pm going to sleep, and I hope you won’t
disturb me.” J
“Just wbat I was going to ask of you,” replied
the hay man.
Both"pretended to sleep, butattheend of the
third hour the hay man suddenly called out:
“Say: You are a cussed mean man 1"
“The same to you!”
“Where you going with those brick?”
“Four miles out, to John Dayton’s. Where
you going with your hay?”
“To Stiner’s brick vard.”
“Say. man, I’m John Dayton myself, and I've
traded this hay for brick:”
. "Well. I'm young Stiner, and I was driving
the first load out:”
“What, fools we are! Here, take all the road. ”
“No—no—let me turn out.”
“I'll turn.”
“No—let me.”
And in their haste to do the polite thine the
load of hay was upaet aad a wheel taken off the
brick wagon.

A correspondent calls the New York
Tribune's attention to “a state of things which
concerns everybody.” He says: “The Saratoga

cause is that everybo ly has been boring down

is escaping; so that below, it has do longer
power to force the waters through rocky
fissures, sucking mineral particles, and, thus
laden, force them to the surface. No artificial
boring should be ahowel within at leas. half a

reputation. If the springs go, Saratoga goes. “
A peculiar accident occurred the other af
ternoon to a St. Paul youth named Eph Welis.
Wells and another lad proceeded to a lake near
the city early in the morning on a fishingexcur

without getting a bite. Wells was fishing
without a rod, and had the business end of h s
line adorned with a large frog, the other end
being wrapped round his finger. Suddenly a
large fish seized tbe bait and made such a de
termined ru h therewith as to cause the strain
on the line to cut the young fisherman’s finger
almost to the bone. Surgical aid was obtained,
and it was at first thought that the member
would have to be amputated. Operation ha -
been deferred, however, and it is now hoped
that the finger may be saved without resorting'
to amputation.

A call for monet to build anew hospital in
Jerusalem, issued by the London Society for
Promoting Christianity Among the Jews, has
roused vehement protest from the Jews. The
influence of the hospital, they say, is resorted
to for trie purposes of conversion, and as a mat
ter of fact the hospital is not needed. The pro
verbial care of the Hebrews for their own
peop e has not been lacking toward those
crowding into Jerusalem. There are already
two hospitals, and £9.00 1 has just been collected
in Europe for enlarging them or for building
another. Besides that, the Rothschilds have
built a very fine one without the eity walls. It
happened that the medical superintendent of
ti.e Rothschild hospital. Dr. Israel d'Arbela
was at Zanzibar wtien Stanley started on the

They inarch in and round the room, halting
