THE BARGAIN.


There are some people whom
nothing pleases SO much as bar
gain. To secure something fer less
Ma worth seems to them to
life worth living, ard in orr
a2r hocompass this end they will
8nste n6se time end thought that
M6ald aebieve something greater,
Aaa perhaps, after all, bay some
thing lhey do MT want, simply be-
causei il is bargain. Such people
will crowd into free lecture room,
when the smallest entrance fee
would deter them, not so much be-
oanse they dislike to part with their
money, but because the love of a
bargain is inherent in their natures,
and free lecture, though it be as
dry as chips, is more or less of a
bargain, comparatively speaking.
On one occasion a certain firm ad
vertised a quantity of sheeting,
damaged by water only. to be sold
on a certain day, and the rush for
that sheeting was something I'M
heard of in the annals of sheeting.
But the bargain lovers had the TIA
bles turned upon them this time. 1t
takes two to make bargain. The
willy firm, instead of marking it
do Rn, as the buyers had taken for
granted, had marked it up cent or
two on the yard but as they were
none the wiser, they are probably
still hugging their bargain, and look
ing out for more damaged sales. In
fact bargain is usually a delu-
sion and snare. If you have not
paid fair price, you may be assur-
ed that the article IS not what
it pretends to be, whether houses
and land, cotton sheeting, OF silver
mines. Tf there are cinders in the
coal, it is because there were cin>
ders in the pay" Some of us will
spend half day at the time in
search of this scarce thing-a barr
gain, which is as hard to fud as a
philosophers stone, and as Elusive
as the old recipes of making gold.
We are not content with getting
our moneys worth, but we want
something thrown in 4; and the shop
man understands our case when he
invents pleasant fctions, making us
believe that he is losing by the sale
"a hate which we are always ready
to swallow in our hunger after our
pet bargain. We do not believe
this is a natural characteristic, but
one which we share with human ma
ture. Yet the temperament of the
American people is so persistently
hopeful that we see bargain where
a Scotchman, for instsncN, would
only detect fraud. On the O.her
hand, we sometimes meet those who
avoid bargain as they would
bear, and are sensitive enough to
believe that it is only polite name
for taking advantage of another
a sort of legaIized yiudliug-and
despise the neighbor who buys her
friends India shawl at half price
after her husbands failure. At the
Same time, in most cases, each par
ty thinks that the bargain is his
own.

replied.

Because | want to break down

A conversation with Billy Madden
developed the fact that he was con-
slderably proud of his protege. He
said he would match Sullivan with
gloves against any living man without
gloves. He says spectators are try-

doesn't know living man in America,
England or Australia who would be-
likely to fight Sullivan.

POLICE POINTS.

A bakers dozen arrests were made
yesterday.
A chronic drunk was fined ten dol
lars.
More arrests for falling to lay down
sidewalks were made yesterday.
The closing down of the crap game
has visible effect on the business of
the police.

the officer the most thoroughbred
loafer Of DeSoto street, was sentenced
to forty days.
The matter of driving mules and
cattle through the streets came up in
the police court to-day. An ordinance
requiring that they be tied and lead
will probably be framed.
Henry Graham, the driver Of the
omnibus which ran over Mrs. Phil

unavoidable.
A report Of defective sidewalks was
made by the police according to order.

kwIxDLrxG LABORERs.
A Crying EVIL That Calls fer
Reform.

A crying evil is the scandalous
manner in which the poor laborers on
the levee are defrauded of their hire
by INSCRIPTIONS men, who make it q
business to swindle and cheat, literally
living by the sweat of other men 5
brows. There are a number of colored
men who are known as contractors.
They agree to unload a boat for so
much, and employ men to do the work
while they do the cursing and bossing
Complaints are daily made by la
borers that they have worked
hard all day and have received no
money. The contractor has numer-
Gus ways of cheating. One is to in
vite all the boys into saloon and fill
them up with mean whisky, and then
declare all the money has been spent
for drink-"they had such a good time
he forgot all about it.
Bill Dorsey, against whom numer-
Gus complaints have lately been made,
was arrested yesterday and tried for
this ofense on a charge of vagrancy.
He was fined $40 and severely lee
tured. President Hadden declares
that he will fine every man convicted
of the offense.

SULLIVAN IN CHICAGO.
A Conversation with the Cham.
piOn-What He Thinks of
the Profession

Chicago News'l
DO you think Paddy Ryan a game
man?' said Mr.. John l.. Sullivan, the
hero of Mississippi City, as he stood
among fifty of the fancy, including
Billy Madden, Pete Mccoy and Parson
Davies, in Mike McDonald's store this
afternoon. "0f course l do. No man
ever vet took of his shirt to fight in a
ring unless he was a game man, for he
knows very we'll what he is going to
get"
Some of the newspapers said that
Ryan looked terror. stricken as soon as
he laid eyes on you. Is that true?"
mot at all. Ryan did very well
until | struck him once or twice, and
after that he was dazed-I may say
about half crazy"
rs it true that there was not body
blow struck during the whole fght?h
YES, that is fact; there wasn't
one"
DO you think Ryan's nose is
broken?'
81 do not. 1t was that blow on the
nose that split his lip and knocked
him down; but | don't think it broke
his nose"
"Some of the newspapers represent
that Ryan was whipped by being
Knocked out Of his senses until after
time was called, by your last blow, and
that that blow was delivered on the
neck. Is that true?"
mo, that is mistake On the last
round | fought him down. He fell all
in heap from succession Of blows
on his head, not from any particular
one of them. His strength was over
come and exhausted"
How did yeu feel when Ryan
struck that blow on the left eye?"
He didn't strike me there with his
fist. That black eye came from his
falling toward me from weakness, and
striking me with his head. In fact,
he struck me no blows on my face.
His blows all fell on the back of my
head, which was much better for me. "
did you part on good terms?"
"Oh, yes; we shook hands pleasantly
at parting"
"Are you thinking Of another match
YETI"
mo, not yet. l don't mean to be a
prize fighter more than year OF two
more.
where do you think is the most
dangerous place to catch blow?"
II don't know. There are several
bad places"
"Do you think a man is apt to get
killed in the ring2"
mo, / do not. ] think whenever men
are killed in the prize ring it is in con-
sequence Of their having something
the matter with them, like heart
disease"
Have you scruples Of conscience
about 6ghting2"
81 have not. Inever fight man to
kill him. l fight him only to lick
him."
Doesn't it generate a great feeling
of hatred ?"
mot at all. Sometimes, when it is
in dispute which is the better man,
bad feeling springs up. But there
is no bad feeling in a fight, or after
it,
"Itis true, as Ben Hogan says, that
prize fighter has to take a good many
insults that other people do not ?"
"Yes, that is fact Still, there is
no need for any man to fight unless he
wants to. For my part, if a man in

Mundinger,s Answer.


In the case of the Messrs. B. Low
enstein q Bros. against G. Mundinger
is before the Chancery Court, and
Mundinger's side of the story was
partially developed by his answer to
the charge against him. He claims
that he purchased the hardware stock
of Stout & Bro. for $50; borrowing
$3.50 for the purpose and using 1920 Of
his own money. The stock was worth
$1,000 or thereabouts. The horse and
carriage used cost him only $40 for
the horse. the vehicle having been q
preset, and his son generally cared
for the animal. His salary at the
house Of Messrs. B. Lowenstein &
Bros. was $3.50 per month and he de-
clares his innocence of the charge Of
embezzlement. He has been in the
employ OF the firm since 1874, and
carried to it the good will and patron
age OF the former firm Of G.. Picard &
Co., known in its day as the New Or
leans Store, popular resort for large
number Of dry goods and notion buy

ing the epidemic seasons of '78 and

and dollars, all of which was properly
accounted for. Il hearing Of the case
