CHARLEY MITCHELL ARRIVES. ‘The Match With Corbett to Se Finally RK, Sept. 20.—Cha..cy Mitenell, weight pugilist, arrived on the Teutonic this morning. He was found in the saloon of the steamship after she was docked quietly sipping a glass of cham- pagne and chatting with his trainer, Harry Darrin, who came over with him. He looked the picture of health and said he weighed about 1% pounds. His face a little fuller than when he was here last and showed better color, being not quite so pale. He has spent most of his time at Brighton, England, and says he has been taking the best of care of himself. “This Is the second glass of wine I have @rank since leaving England,” he said. When asked as to his preference of a meet- ing place with Corbett in the prospective battle, he replied: “I have signed with the Columbian Athletic Club, and see no rea- son why the figat should not take place there.” ‘When told that this club was tied up with legal difficulties, he said he knew nothing about that. ‘But I am here to fight more for the honor and the championship than the money con- sideration, and !f Corbett thinks that I don’t mean business, I am ready to fight for the $10,000 which the late Squire Abing- don put up for me, without any purse at all. I don’t think that I have been treated rightly in the matter at all, and have not been extended the courtesies that should be shown a man coming from a foreign shore.” “In the first place I signed articles with the Crescent City Athletic Clab to fight Mr. Cerbett for a purse of $30,000, with the pro- viso that if a better offer was made could withdraw from the agreement with them. Then, after I had reached England, came the cable from the Columbian Club of Chicago offering $15,000. I read in the Chicago papers that Corbett had agreed to fight there, so I journeyed down to London from Brighton and signed articles to fight before that club. The next thing that I heard was that Corbett had thrown them over and signed with the Coney Island Club, giving as his reason for so doing that Jack McAuliffe, who is a particular friend of mine, was ‘going to fight in Chi- azo for a $15,000 purse.” Now, before I left New York last spring I made several appointments at the Hoff- man House and other places with Judge Newton, none of which he ever kept. ‘Since that time I have heard nothing whate from that club. Neither did I ever receive a cable message or other communication from Howe & Hummeli on the subject. When I left I told this firm, who are my attorneys, that whatever they did would be satisfactory, but I wish to say that as [am an important factor in this affair, which some people do not seem to consider, if Mr. Corbett declares that he will fight no place but before the Coney Island Athletic Club, then I will show a little spirit of obstinacy myself and will not fight there. “Notwithstanding what has been said about the bankrupt condition of the Cres- cent City Athletic Club, if President Noel comes to me and gives his personal guaran- tee that he will offer a purse and the money will ve forthcoming, I ready and will- ing to fight there, for in the business re- lations J have had with him I have always friend and | DISCOURAGED THB ROYALISTS. ‘The Bostun Saluted President Dole of Hawaii With Twenty-One Guns.

NO MORE NEWS OF VALKYRIE. jhe Has Now Been Out Twenty-seven Days—Date of Race NEW YORK, Sept. 2@-At “ie request of Lord Dunraven, through his representative, Mr. H. Maitland Kersey, the America’s cup committee have decided to change the date of the first race between the Vaikyri and the Vigilant from September 28 to Oc- tober 5. A notice to that effect was posted up at the New York Yacht Club this mcrn- ing. The reason given for the change of Program is that the Valkyrie could not be gotten in racing trim by September 28. If it really was the Valkyrie that the steamer Spain saw last Saturday 420 miles east of Sandy Hook, the English racer must [have met adverse weather after parting | company with the National liner.

Last Day of the Convention a Lively One. . Interesting Addresses This Mornin; by Father Alexa: Closing Sens! F and Others— Programs. Today was the last of the colored Baptist convention that has been in session at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. It was perhaps the liveliest day of all, and the regular course of the proceedings was in- terrupted a number of times to take up side matters that really attracted more atten- tion than the regular business of the body. For one thing, several speeches were made that did not strictly apply to the order of the day or anything connected with it, but they were entertaining just the same. A program has been arranged for the afternoon and evening sessions, but it is more than likely that the convention will manage to hurry up matters so as to finally adjourn late this afternoon and thus dis- pense with the evening session. The rea- son for this is that Shiloh Baptist Church, on L street, Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, pas- | tor, is to give @ reception this evening in | honor of the delegates, and if there is one thing that a convention, white or colored, does approve of more than anything else it 1s a reception given in its honor. ‘There was a very fair attendance of the members of the convention in the church this morning when Kev. P. F. Morris called the meeting to order, in his capacity as president of the National Baptist educa- tional convention. Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. Mark Thompson of Missouri, Rev. L. Lindsey of Indiana and Rev. H.'E. Clemmans of Tennessee. Mrs. Field delivered an address to the conven- tion on the subject of the need for more re- spect to be shown by the young to the old, and on her own work among the aged of the colored race. Mr. M. M. Holland was given an opportunity to speak with refer- ence to the business abilities of colored peo- ple. A resolution was introduced by Rev. I. Tolliver and passed setting aside the Ist of January, 184, as a day for national prayer to God to assist the colored race in tiding over the time of evil and maltreatment. Rev. Sandy Alexander. Rev. Dr. W. H. Gotwald of the Lutheran Church, white, and Rev. Sandy Alexander of Georgetown were introduced to the con- vention, and each made a brief speech. Rev. Sandy Alexander is the oldest Baptist preacher in the District and is usually known by his colored brethren as Father Alexander. He has been in the District for more than sixty years and is fond of saying, as he did this morning, that when he began his ministry here one quart of wine was ample to administer communion to all the Baptists in the District. Then there was one Baptist Church here. Now there are forty-three. Mr. Alexander is not an educated man, but his head ts full of ideas all the time, and when he talks one Is sure to listen, and as certain of being entertained. He spoke this morning on the responsibilities that rest upon the colored people, both in the matter of education and actual work. He said that he belfeved in giving children a trade as well as book learning, as this made them the more likely to be self-supporting and valu- able members of the community. educated his own children, five in number and all of them had learned trades, he Wi thankful to say. Fifty years ago, Father Alexander said, he had bought two colored children in Alexandria and sent them to Philadelphia, where they attended a white school and ‘received a high school educa- tion, the first instance of the sort during slave times. Rev. Anron Ware. Following Father Alexander another pa- trlarch in the ministry was introduced to the convention in the person of Rev. Aaron Ware of Tennessee, a real, genuine, old- time minister, who was short on book learn- ing and very long in the matter of earnest- ness and eloquence. He looked every bit of the eighty-four years to which he owned up, but he talked with a vim and ehergy that many a young minister might envy. He had wanted all his life to see a big ni | tional Baptist convention, and when this | one came along some societies and churches jin his neighborhood raised enough to send him to Washington, but they forgot to give him enough to take him home again, and he would have been in an awkward’ pre- dicament if some of the delegates had not raised enough among them to defray his (Teturn expenses. He did not know this, however, until he had taken the pulpit, and then he had an opportunity to thank his benefactors. This he did, and then he went on to say that God had always been very good to him. He now looked and felt Younger than a son of his, who is only Sixty-two years of age. His wife ts ni health when he left home. Retween them they had raised up a family of ten men jand nine women. Their family now num- bers sixty-four members and he was glad to be able to tell them that forty-two of these are Baptists. With this introdtc- tlon the old white-haired preacher went on to stalk about the characteristics, as he Understood them, of the four historians of the doings of the Savior, showing how each gne of them xot some inspiration. from Malach!.

He says he will work a little right along, but will not go into active training until the place of meeting is definitely settled, then he will select a place near the battle grounds. Mitchell's coming means the making or breaking of the match with Champion James J. Corbett. As the matter now stands Corbett expects to fight at Coney Island, and has already begun training for the event to take place in December. Mitch- ell, on the other hand, has not stated his | position In the matter. Not long ago it was cabled that Mitchell wanted to fight in the Columbian A. C. at Roby, Ind., but since that club has become entangled within the meshes of the law there is no chance for the big fight taking place there. President Charles Noel of the Crescent City Athletic Club of New Orleans will meet the English champion upon his arrival, and will probably offer a purse for the mill. He will do this in spite of the fact that the Crescent City Club practically went broke on the Fitzsimmons-Hall fight. A reporter saw W. A. Brady, Corbett’s manager, and asked him what he thought of Noel's proposed offer. He sald: “{ don't see where Noel comes in at all. His club ts bankrupt and is flat upon its back. If he makes an offer for the fight. Corbett wouldn't even consider the matter until Noel had deposited $40,000 in the bank. After that he might talk business. While I believe Mitchell wants to fight, still I think it probable that he may lend an ear to the ew Orleans proposition just to complicate matters. He has gone so far that he cannot back out now. As far as we are concerned, Corbett will be ready to meet Mitchell at the Coney Island Athletic Ciub on the night set for the battle.” “Then you think the Coney Island Club will have no difficulty in pulling off the match?” the reporter asked. “None whatever. If. Gov. Flower were called upon to interfere he would merely call upon the sheriff to enforce the law, and the sheriff could not enforce any law before it had been broken. The contest, as arranged, would be a ‘sparring match of twenty rounds under the laws, is not a prize fight, and until the men entered the ring it could not be definitely determined whether they were sparring or slugging. In fact, the Corbett-Mitchell fight would be less brutal than many smaller affairs usually are, for the reason that the big fellows are the cleverest men In the world and know how to take care of themselves. It would be the greatest battle, from a sclentific standpoint, the sporting fraternity has seen in years. “I trust Mitchell won't do any bluffing, Dut will come right down to business. Cor- bett will continue training and from_now until the time for his battle with Peter Jackson next June he will be known as the ‘silent man.’ Mitchell can do as much talk- ing as he pleases, but if he will agree to fight we will forgive him for a too free use of his tongue.” Brady and Judge Newton of the Coney Island A. C. have had several conferences lately, at which Newton has assured Cor- bett’s manager that the club by the sea can pull off the fight without the slightest bit of interference. a CHOLERA AT HAMBURG. New Cases and Two Deaths Re- ported Today. HAMBURG, Sept. 20—There were six new cases of cholera and two deaths from the disease reported in this city today. At Altona, one of Hamburg’s suburbs, Wo cases of the disease occurred today. dence of having had some, too. Senator Irby shambled through the lady's waiting room and jerking a pistol from his hip hackmen. carriage of an unwilling hackman and the executive mansion at once. Though pretty | well frightened the hackman complied. He says that Col. Irby had his pistol drawn on him most of the way until he went to | sleep. When they were met at te door | of the governor’s mansion Col Irby stum- bled out with the remark: “We are ruined. T've come to bring you bad new: This Interesting secret of possible aster to the reform cause in South Caro- lina was for the time lost to the world by reason of the fact that the frightened hack- man valued an absence of body on that oc- ecasion more than he did a presence of mind. Governor Tillman declined to have any- thing to say about the matter. The affair began to get nolsed about the city, and called for investigation by the chief of po- lice. But the bird had flown when the offi- cers made their appearance. Accompanied by Governor Tillman and a servant, Sena- tor Irby was taken to the depot and placed on a train bound for Laurens, his home. Charges were preferred against Irby by Policeman E. J. Jones. It is thought that the “bad news” which brought Senator Irby from Washington and which is probably responsible for the con-| dition in which he came is the confirmation of the Senate, in executive session yester- day, of the appointment of R. W. Harris and Josiah Doar as postmasters at Union and Georgetown. Irby had sworn that Harris should not get the position because he voted for Cleveland at the Chicago con- vention, and that Doar should be defeated because he deserted the Tillmanites. It ap- pears that Irby was turned down by his own committee, post offices and post roads, of which he is chairman. What Is Said at the Senate. At the Senate today nothing could be | learned as to the truth or falsity of the tele- | graphic reports from Columbia, S. C., that | Senator Irby of that state has been charged | with Intoxication and carring concealed | weapons before the police court of Colum- bia. At Senator Irby’s committee room this | afternoon it was sald that the Senator lett | Washington at 3:45 Monday afternoon to go | to his home in South Carolina, to visit hi | plantation and attend to personal affairs. | Since then his clerk has heard nothing | from him, and says that he knows nothing about the report of the affair in Columbia. “If the Senator has been going on & spree," he said, “I don’t know anything about it. ‘The postmasters mentioned in the story were confirmed by the Senate yesterday. So fr everything verifies the telegraphic reports, as the hour of Senator Irby’s de- | | parture from here would enable him to | | Feach Columbia ‘Tuesday morning. It was also learned today that in addition to the | | two South Carolina postmasters mentioned, | | to whose confirmation, Senator Irby is said | | to have been violently opposed, the Senate | yesterday confirmed the nomination of | Senator Irby’s own selection for postmaster at Laurens, his home. This might: have served as a balm to his wounded spirit. <—___— ‘The Centennial Star.

Last Evening’s Session. At last evening’s session of the colored Baptist convention there were two ad- dresses. delivered, each of which was worthy of the attention it received. Rev. C. H. Parish, president of the Exstein Norton University of Kentucky, spoke on the sub- ject “Industrial Education,” and Dr. E. ©. Merris of Arkansas discussed “The Higher Education of the Negro.” There was present an audience that filled the spacious and attractive interior of the Ver- mont Avenue Baptist Church to the doors and standing room was at a premium. The crowd was well repaid. In his address Rev. Mr. Parish worked up his hearers to a high pitch of interest, and while he said many things to which exceptions were taken by some of them, yet there was no doubt that he made a most favorable impression. He took the post tion, rather a bold one under the circum- stances, that higher education as it is now given to the negro tends to turn out a set of people who have a certain amount of learning but no ability to apply it to use- ful ends. There are too few negro me- chanics, he said, and too many educated people in proportion to the room for them. Men of this color able to earn their living by skilled manual labor are fast becoming but a memory of the days of slavery. “In the country we are farm hands, and in the city we are menials,” said he. “Our common schools are turning out but little more than a race of educated bootblacks, barbers and servants. So much 1s ex: pended in head culture and so Uttle in hand culture that it is no wonder many of our young men have made up their minds to beat their way through the world. Brass is now considered better than man- ners, and bluff takes the place of ability. ‘Then the speaker, who by this time had everyone listening With the deepest inter- est, Went on to say that from this point of view the status of the negro was most de- plorable, and was growing worse. Most of the colored mechanics were relics of slavery days, and there were few to take their places. There was not one colored mechanic employed on the Columbian exposition bulld- ings, he declared, and he quoted statistics to show how few were employed by the rail- roads, telegraph companies, or machine shops. Part of the responsibility for this rested on the trades unions, “hich would not give a colored man a chance even after he had learned a trade. ‘Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock the dele- gates, to the number of 100 or more, took their way to the White House, where they were received by the President. There was no crowd, so all had an gt aid to ly “The New greet the President personal jp About the Appointment. A curious explanation is given of Mr. Van Alen's selection as the first-ambassa- dor of the United States to Italy. It is stated that of all our legations abroad this has been, for the last ten years, the most difficult to fill from a social point of view. It was made so by Mr. Wm. Waldorf Astor, who when minister to Rome “set the in matters of entertainment and other so- cial functions on such a scale of lavish ex. penditure that no one not possessed of a millionaire’s fortune could hope to follow him successfully. Mr. John B. Stallo, whom Mr. Clevelana, during his first term, appointed to succeed Mr. Astor, had a most unpleasant experi- ence. Having no private fortune, he was compelled to rely upon the salary of his pesition ($12,000) for his means of living and entertaining as minister of the United States. The contrast between the economy thus enforced and the munificent extrava- gance of the preceding regime was 80 marked that the American colony and American visitors made Mr. Stallo’s life an exceedingly unhappy one. The com- plaints that poured in upon the State De- partment almost partook of the nature of charges. It was asserted that Minister Stallo had removed the legation from the palace It had formerly occupied and established it over a “cheesemonger’s shop,” and it was almost intimated that he was diverting the funds | provided by Congress for the maintenance of the legation to his own private pur- Poses. He was lampooned and ridiculed in every possible way for his alleged parsi- mony. The only foundation for these charges was, of course, the fact that Mr. Stallo lived within his official income, while Mr. Astor did not. Similar inconveniences were felt, in less degree, by Gov. Porter of Indiana (who resigned the place ostensibly to enter the Indiana campaign), and by Mr. William Potter, whom Mr.’ Harrison appointed in the last days of his administration to suc- ceed Gov. Porter. Mr. Van Allen's inherit- ed wealth as an Astor son-in-law, it is expected, will enable him to restore to the American embassy in Home all the social glories which the legation had under Wm. Waldorf Astor. = ———+e+_____ KILLED HIMSELF, Suicide of a New Jersey Ex-Sen, While His Family Breaktastea. NEWARK, N. J., Sept. $o.—Ex-Senator J. W.

Every incentive has been given to us to accomplish this mission, for, as Dr. Hirsche of Chicago, in a recent sermon, has truly said: ‘We are not a mar- Velous archaeological specimen, we are not the great attraction in history’s dime mu- sSeum, we are not witnesses to the truth of somebody else's religion, and therefore must be preserved in alcohol.’ But we simply worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience, without infringing upon the rights of any one; at the same time our religion, instead of being a hindrance, is an ald and stimulus leading to a better and more patriotic citizenship. The non- Israelite may as well become aware of this fact, that whatever we do as citizens, we do as Americans, and we do not thank them for any recognition or tolerance. Our lyes, our happiness, -the lives and happiness of those dear and near to us, the happiness and prosperity of the whole human race, are as much concern to us as to others, and whatever we do we do from motives inspired by the consciousness of duty based on common sense and fellow feeling. “It is our mission to impress the ignorant and the prejudiced, which terms are synonymous, that the day has gone by when a citizen of the United States of Jew- ish faith can be told with a familiarity that is as contemptible as it is ridiculous, “Why, my deag sir, some of the best friends I have are Jews,’ or the other familiar term, ‘He ts a pretty good fellow, although he ts a Jew.’ ‘pressions of this kind can originate onty tn shallow minds, or in those whom blind fortune has favored with more money than brains, and thus arrogate to themselves a dignity which they do not Possess. a judgment which is as warped as the utterances are uncalled for.

Some of Those Whe Are Likely to Re- ceive Appointments. Commissioner Ross returned to his office today and remained therefor sevéral hours. Throughout the morning he was besieged with a host of friends, who came in to wel- come him back and to offer their congratu- lations on his speedy recovery. ‘The Commissioner is looking as well as he ever did, and with the exception of a slight @iscoloration under his right eye shows no effect of his accident. He says that his rib is pretty well healed now, and that he suf- fers no inconvenience from his injuries. In referring to the appointment of the five school trustees, Mr. Ross said that it would ably be the middie of next week before any definke decision could be arrived at. Mr. Pauli Bowen presented his application for one of the positions to Mr. Ross in per- son. He is backed by a large labor element, and from what could be gathered at the District building today it is thought that his appointment is assured. Commissioner Ross stated today that in accordonce with the desires of a number who have peti- tioned him to do so, he is under the im- pression that one of the vacancies will be filled by a woman. Mrs, Miranda Tullock is the only Woman who is an applicant for the position, and as she is backed by the Woman's Suffrage Association she will in all probability carry off another of the ap- pointments. Mr. Louis A. Cornish is strong- ly backed for reappointment, and as it is customary to have at least one colored citl- zen on the board, he is likely to make an- other of the five. ‘The citizens of Anacostia have asked the Commissioners to allow them to suggest a trustee to represent the Anacostia district on the board, and that privilege will likely be accorded them.

What the Deputy Health Officer Says Upon the Subject. Deputy Health Officer Tracy has ordered 150 vaccine points for use among the poor, The beginning of the school year always causes a demand for such treatment, and almost every day persons appear at the health office to be vaccinated. Those who appeat are not all paupers, but an sdea seems to prevail among certain persons that the health office is the proper place for such purposes. This morning two children who Called were vaccinated by the deputy health officer. To « Star reporter Mr. ‘Tracy said that vaccine points Were not being distributed by the health office except those used by physicians to the pov ‘There is a law regarding the vaccination of children admitted in the public schools, The jaw requires that all children admitted must be vaccinated or protected in some other way from small-pox. “It is not necessary for parents to take their children to physicians to have them vaccinated,” said Mr. Tracy when question- ed by a Star reporter. “All that is neces- sary is to remove the outer cuticle of the arm and expose the inner cuticle without drawing the blood. Then rub the spot with a moistened vaccine point, and leave {be arm exposed to the air until the virve
