(From the Now York Herald.)
A Sportsman reporter, who looked
after Sullivan this morning, says: "To
all who are interested in the doings of
the famous Bostonian can at once say
that never man looked botter. Minus
nearly two stone of flesh since he last
appeared in public, Sullivan looks the
picture of robust health and strength,
and with the exception of blister on
his right foot-now quite well-he has
not been sick or sorry since he first went
thoroughly to work.
"Yesterday, accompanied by his train

Sam Blakelock, John L., following his

then brought out, and mixture from
one applied for nearly quarter of an
hour to the champions face for the pur-
pose of hardening the skin. Next q
darker liquid was brought into play,
another quarter of an hour being spent
in rubbing the hands and wrists.
"Sullivan, who was in excellent spir-

and amused all present by relating with

of his early career.

The Uses of High License.

Some of the results of high license are
as follows: Illinois, with tax of $500,
has reduced saloons one-third, and more
than sixfold multiplied revenue from those
that remain Chicago has 1000 saloons in
place of 5000, and receives $4,000, 900 in
place Of 100000. The Minnesota high
license has knocked out 16, 600 saloons. In
Missouri the income is threefod, and the
decrease of saloons considerable. The
effect in Nebraska has been cut of one.
half the saloons and five times increase
OF the income. In Michigan 10, 900 saloons
have dropped to 5000. The effect in Ohio
has also been favoI able. 1t is difficult to
argue from such statistics otherwise than
that high license is q benefit. 1t is non
sense to say 1t crowds hard on poor people,

can have no greater kindness performed
than to crowd him and his family into a

The reply of the Secretary Of War to the
battle flags resolution" is presented. 1t
makes nearly one hundred pages of large
manuscript. The answer gives the history
of all captured flags from the time of the
Mexican war, and list of the flags returned
to Northern regiments in cases where their
loss was not disgraceful in character. The
full list of all the flags captured is given,
with all the correspondence on the subject
II says twenty two Confederate flags and
twenty-five Union flags were returned by
former administrations, all, however, given
to Northern States, the Confederate FLAGS
being sent to Union regiments which cap
!ured them. None of the Confederate flags
have at any time been returned to the
Southern States. No flags, it says, have
been returned by this administration. 1t
denies that there is any law requiring them
to be kept on exhibition, but says law of
that nature was passed in 1914, relating to
flags captured in prior wars, has been re.
pealed in part, and does not apply to the
Confederate flags. 1t also denies that the
flags have been removed from the depart

alleged in the resolution. A long list of

4 Brutal Husband Committed to Jail.

On Tuesday last, Mr. r. d. Barrier, of

against B. f. Welsh, and the matter came

ant. The testimony was such n narrative
Of brutality and cruelty on the part Of b.
f. Welsh TO his wife as to arouse the hot
Indignation Of the many spectators who
had gone into Court to hear the proceedings.
If ii had not been for the long and pa
ticnt endurance Of his noble wife, who has,
for so long a time, sought to hide her
troubles from the public, the savage hus-
band would long ago have been incarcerated
to prevent his outragcs. On Tuesday,
however, her patience was exhausted and
the story OF her wrongs was told. We
venture to say that a more shocking history
of cruel and brutal treatment by a husband
to a wife has rarely, if ever, been told in a
court before. The testimony developed
that he had cursed her, kicked and beaten
her, leaving his marks and bruises on her
body, that he had pursued her with sticks,
on one occasion with a butcher knife, pre-.
scntcd pistols at her head threatening to
blow her brains out, pursuing her from
her home to her mother-in-laws in the dead
hours of the night where she fled for pro-
lection.

Mr.. Summer Saltcr, who went to Atlanta

Atlanta, has started up quite sensation by
the discovery of the fact that he has class

music at one of the negro churches Of that
city. Prof. Salter is the organist Of the
synagogue, also of the First Methodist
Church, while his wife is a member of the

asking him to resign his position as organist
in the Methodist Church. Prof. Salter
takes the ground that his profession Is that

Uncertain NIalndlcs.

There are ut least n thousand doctors in
the United States who wish they had the
Crown Prince for q patient. This is not
because they think they could cure him
nor for the sake of the money they could
make out of the royal patient, but they
honestly believe they could give that mys-
tcriouS malady n name For the past five
or six months DR.. Mackenzie has been in
constant attendance upon the patient. He
has poulticed the larynN and bled it and
lcached it, and, at last he has cut hole in
the windpipe and put tube for the breath
to pass through; and now, after all this
fuss, he comes out and says he does not
know whether it is a case Of pcrichrondites
or cancer.
If an ordinary man had a doctor of this
kind the patient would be excused for
Kicking him down the front steps and tell
ing him to hand in his bill at once. PEOPLE
are beginning TO doubt if the ocalied
eminent" physicians. the men with big
Watchchains and fine turnouts, the men
who make short calls and put in long bills,
know anything. If they do, it is time
they showed it. The cases of President
Garfield and General Grant arc still fresh
in the minds of all. There were from five
to dozen of the best doctors in the coun-
try in constant attendance upon Garfield,
yet they knew next to nothing about the
location of that fatal bullet until he died
If skillful physicians are as ignorant as
those who attended President Garfield and
those who now have charge Of the Crown
Prince, the average man will prefer those
who charge less and know more. 1t is
about time the days of eminent incfliciency
were endcd.-Boston Globe.
