There IS little doubt that the thing
most needs to be taught this generation
of Americans by ministers of she Cos
pcl, by both clerical and lay instructors
Of youth--by all who haycpublic inter-
est or private authority--is a sense of
/ honor. 1t must be shown and insisted
upon that every position in life where
one person employed by another to do
certain work imposes an obligation to
fulfill the duties Of the place with an
honorable and disinterested regard for
the interests Of hls employer. 1t must
be shown that this view Of employment
applies TO the cook, the errand boy, the
cashier, the legislator the Presiden.
This is a tritc and apparently simple
and somewhat stupid view of the
opportunities Of u Smart and ambit-
ious American Of our day, but unless
this commonplace view Of responsibility
is lall hold Of by increasing Numbers in
the luturc Of our county we will not
say that our society will 50 to pieces,
but we will say that our calamltles will
increase, and that we will get into
troubles and not soon out Of theln COM
pared with which the dangers and dis
trcsacs Of the past will seem almost in
significant.

SULLIVAN AND MITCHELL MEET.
The sluggers Unable 20 Hurt Each
Other-They Fight to N Draw I'm
Thirty-Ninc Hounds.

The fight between Sullivan and Mitchell
took place Saturday at Crcil, France, on the
estate OF Baron Rothsehild. IL resulted I'm a
draw after thirty-nine rounds had been
fought. Mitchell appeared TO be in the bet
ter condition before the fight, [the opinion
being that Sullivan was overturned. The
fight began at 12:55, Mitchell winning the
toss for corner, and putting the sun and wind
In suliyan's face.
In the first round both contestants Shove
their tactics. Mitchell's aim was 10 avoid
punishment and prolong the fight In the hope
Of firing ont the American. Sullivan fought
for "A Knockout In few rounds. The bet
ting AZ first was three 10 one on sullivan, but
toward the end Of the fight the betting be-
came even. In the first round sullivan got
home with two blows on Mitchelps head and
received left handler IN the stomach in re-
turn. Mitchell soon dropped 10 avoid pun
ishment, but Ia the second round wa.
caught by suliyan's right ON the temple and
went down. The third and fourth rounds
were like the preceding one, Mitchell be.
ing knocked down at the close OF each.
IL was evident at this time that Sullivan
was surprised and disguised. He had counted
ON winning i'm the first four rounds, and was
savage. IL was surmised that some money
had been lost by his failure 10 accomplish
this. Before the fifth round the referee
spoke 10 Mt:hcll's umpire, and the latter
cautioned his man against the trick Of drop
ping before he had struck blow or received
one.
Up TO the ninth round Sullivan forced tho
fighting and chased Mitchell around the
ring, but could rarely get 10 close quarters
IL became evident, however, in the sixth
round, that Sullivan was suffering for lack OF
wind. Mitchell was gaining courage and
taking advantage Of his adyersary's condi.
tion by occasionally getting in a blow. In
the eighth round he was awarded first blood
sulliyan's body, right eye, and mouth were
more punished than Mtchell's whose right
eye aud temple received the most damage.
Mitchell and Sullivan were arrested ftei
the fight with the whole party, by French
gcndarmes. They were taken 10 senlis
Here the rest Of the party was dismissed, bu
sullivan and Mitchell were locked up.

custody by the French authorities, and an
