YOU MAY THINK I'm DRUNK.
But Ain't-Tm Sick, Said Mr.. Sullivan to
5000 Of his Admirers.

NKw YoRK june 80 Between 1000 and g. coo
people, including hundreds from Boston and
Philadelphia, and large delegations from Balti,
more Sand Chicago, went to Madison square
Garden tonight to see the glove contest ar
ranged to take place between John L. Sullivan
and Charles Mitchell. The stories circulated
the last few days concerning Sulliyans drunk
euness and Mitnel1's malaria did not seem to
shake the belief of the good natnred public
that the men meant to have bona ttde and ex-
citing contest In the early evening il was re-
ported that both boxers were in good condition.
The frstpartof the nights programme in which
appeared several members of the Sullivan Conn
binationp and others, passed off pleasantly, the
spectators giving hearty encouragement to the
Sparriers few minutes before 10 o'clock, the
great John L. Sullivan, in street costume, stag
gered up the steps leading to the platform, acA
companied by Billy 0'BTien and another man.
who was said to be DIR. w. H. Vanderpool of
the Ashland House O'Brien announced to the
anxious crowd that the doctor had positively
stated that Mr. Sullivan was. too Ill
to spar He said that rather than
have the people disappointed Dominiek
Murphy would spar Mitchell 0'Brien
was hooted; then the great Sullivan made his
way to the edge of the ring, and supporting him
self by ropes, he made a few remarks He
looked like terrible example. Hrs hat was
unbrushed and his clothes soiled he was bloated
in body, and his face and features were red and
distorted almost beyond recognition. Standing
IN the attitude Of a lounger at a bar, he said in
hoarse voice, that could be heard but few
feet away
4 can't spar tonight; I'm too sick You may
think I'm drunk but ain't--I'm sick. don't
think it fair to give you a friendly set-to with
Mr.. Mitchell for you didn't come to see that
The renowned Mr.. Sullivan was heartily
Missed Mitchell, who had assembled the plat
form while Sullivan was speaking, now came to
the ropes and had his little say. Mitchell looked
pale and thin and his lips were swollen and sore
looking. The Englishman said:
I'm in condition to spar myself; have
had it very bad with malaria, and don't think it
would be fair to Mr. Sullivan to have this match,
as am feeling pretty good tonight, and came
here to do the best could. That is all there is
in it.
The people cried hShamer' and Kissed and
shouted Sullivan, you've lost your reputation
and made various other deprecatory remarks,
and then slowly and sadly left the building Ii

John RsBooker of Macon, Ga, writes: In
1878 was attacked by the most rayeneus sortof
cancerous sores, that ate great holes into my
flesh and spread rapidly over my body. i re-
received the very best medical attention; was
dosed with mercury and potash until / was SO
crippled with mercurial Theumatism that
could scarcely hobble about; my throat and
mouth were badly liberated, my hair began to
fail out. So wrecked was my general health
that became a physical ruin and my life was a
burden. For long time was bed ridden, and
my suffering was SO intense that / prayed for
death as relief. I exhausted the whole eata4
logue Of patent medicines, in each ease following
the directions religiously Each in turn seemed
to aggravate the malady. and none of them bene-
fitted me in any way When life was apparently
hopeless commenced taking S. S. s.. To this
Specific owe my life. In ten days commenced
improving, and in short time was perfectly
we'll Ny hair has grown out thick; my health
and strength have returned; the ulcers in my
throat and mouth are entirely cured my appe-
tite has returned and for the first time in years
I enjoy my food. Every sore has disappeared
from my body i weigh as much as I ever did
IN my life, and am perfectly healthy IN every
way. The very germs of the cancerous affiiction
are destroyed. Not only is the terrible malady
that was preying on my life, and which everyone
pronounced incHrable, entirely cured, hut am
also relieved of the bad effects of the mercury
and potash mixtures that I was fed on for
years.

MIR. Dorsheimer advocated the majority re-

riverwas deep enough to float tha heaviest battle
ships up to Natchez, and the cities along that
stream would be much at the mercy of
European fleets as would New York or Phila-

economy, and asked what was to be done with
the vast surplus which m0nstrous taxation
brought into the treasury. Every. effort
IN this House to reduce taxation
had failed He would go home to

Congress had accomplished he would be able to
