SULLIVAN AGAIN.

Derrick Dodd, in San Francisco Post.
 Speaking of Sullivan, the following se- euel 10 an oft-told story concerning that interest to our slogging- mad public just now
 Every one knows of the trick that was played some two years ago by fresh man al Princeton college, at which time the custom of " hazing in really brutal manner was so prevalen; there. The hazing gang of sophmores that year were so rough and cruel ;hat the faculty was at it's wits ends to devise some means for its suppression. One or two cases of severe and lasting bodily injuries to the victims placed so serious an aspect upon matters, that applicants for scholarships were few. Al this luncture the father of a new man, who had incurred the enmity of the hazers by stubbornly resisting their attacks. conceived an ingenious idea. He quietly hunted up Sullivan, took him up to Princeton, had confer ence with the president of the college and the same day the champion, who bore the appearance of meek looking young mar with eye glasses and bad cough, was entered as student and assigned d room in the donnitory.
 That night about twenty of the N d. hoos, as the hazers called themselves, stole softly to the new members room. Having arranged their "ear twisters, V toe pinchers and other instruments Of torture to their satisfaction, they took oil their coats, rolled up thetr sleeves, and tapped gently on the door of their victim, who mildly invited them in. The invaders 1t the gas. and beheld the new conner lying Tn bed. smoking T cigarette, and benignly regarding the mob through his goggles.
 Get up there, freshie. We're going to have some fun with you," they said.
 Not really:" sad the victim, with q hollow cough.

 Well, fl l must. l suppose must. . whnpered the new man. jumping out on the floor The next moment the ring leader of the inqulsi,ors got facer ' that drove him clear across the room and through the sash ot a window. The survivors of what followed ali agree that language entirely failed to do justice to the scene Sullivan kicked the door shut. and then sailed in and began piling up the dead. Some of them didn | get around again for three weeks, and half dozen badly fiat,ened Sullivan '' noses can be seen in this years graduat ing class.
 This IS the story most of our readers have heard. The result was 10 entirely abolish hszing al pnnceton until the beginning of the present sesiSon. when the old custom started in with renewed vlgor. 4 student named Harrison. from Cleveland. learned that his den . was to be raided upon a certain night. That day he repaired to the outskirts of the town. and by means of cabbage, decoyed 10 his room, under cover of darkness. a peculiarly vigorous and vindictive billy-goa,. the terror of that quarter.
 He kept the animal in a pacific frame of mind by much provender until the hour for the assault. When the fresh man heard the stealthy gathering of the clans outside the door. he turned of the i gas. gave the goa, a few jabs with his i penknite to enlven II up, and dodged be- hlnd the door.
 As soon as the besiegers had rushed in i he shut the door. locked II. and hastily climbed upon the wardrobe. being just i Tn time to escape the first rush of the billy. who knocked three men over the bed the very first Diff
 The pandemonlum of shrieks. curses ard butts lasted for some five minutes Then forlorn hope of battered hazers managed 10 grope their way to the door and tear ii open. As they ,umbled out into the now crowded hall hundred ex- cited voices asked what the matter was.
 Matter = gasped one of the worst used up of the gang. Why. they ve rung that dam Sullivan in on us again .'
