The Labor Convention.

At the opening of the morning session yesterday at Hartford of the labor con- vention, a dispatch was read from Rob- ert r. Porter, editor of the New York Press, announcing his inability to be present. MT Porter is the superintend- ent of the next census and was expected to deliver an address of much interest. Mrs Florence Kelley Winchnewfezky, who was expected to speak on child labor, is also absent, The reports of states were resumed yesterday morning. Among those who presented the topics occupying their official attention were John Lambert, St Paul, Minn.: J. B. Bowditch, Providence, R. l.: John Jen- kins. Lincoln, Neb., and Frank Betton, Topeka, Kansas. A paper on Dressed Beef" was read by Mir Betton. He had interviewed a number of butchers and had learned that the prizes obtained in 1879 were much higher tban now, His conclusions, based upon careful investi- gations, were that .the price of meats had come down because the great pack ing houses make a good profit on the offal whichIunder the old system was thrown away. Choice cuts are higher, but meats for the great mass of consu- mers are lower. At the afternoon ses- sion Secretary Hutchins read a paper sent in by Mrs Florence Kelley Wich- newiszky on "Child Labor"

DEPUTY COLLECTORS,
Instructions That Have Been Re

Instructions That Have Been Re-
 ceivcd From Washington.
 Instructions concerning the employ ment of the deputy collector of internal revenue for the fiscal year ending June 31, 1890, have been received by collec- tors. Persons employed as such deputy collectors must not be engaged in other business. This rule is positive, and it is expected that deputy collectors will give their entire time to the services of the government. The practice, which to some extent has been permitted in years gone by of allowing insurance agents. lawyers and others with outside business connections to be employed as deputies is not approved by the commissioner of internal revenue, for it is often the case that deputy so employed has extensive business of a pecuniary and private na- ture with the very party whom he may be called upon to report for prosecution for violations of law

The Way to the Heart Is Through the
 Purse.
 The correct way to mans good graces is through his pocketbook. Give man tip on good thing and he becomes your friend. @@The thousands of advocates of our fine ;clothing are the people who have profited by our advice to buy their clothing of us. The amount we have saved them has cemented them to us. We have reached their hearts through their pockets, and now they are paying us back by recommending us and our goods to others. The stores that advertise impossibilities wonder at our phenomenal business, how we flourish and grow. We are head and shoulders above them all for the largest and most varied assortment. We man ufacture in large quantities, and sell at lower prices than any other house in the city.

The Busiest Day of the Week in the
 Police Court.
 Fred J. Wood, against whom a case for keeping an unregistered dog was continued from yesterday morning, was to-day found guilty and fined $5 and costs by Judge Bradstreet. The case was complicated one. The first wit ness for the state said the dog was white with brown spots and iong hair, just the kind of pup you could use to wash windows with. Another witness was sure that the innocent cause of the short hair and curly tail. Wood swore that the dog was white with yellow back and said that the animal had been properly registered. Town Clerk White showed by the records that the dog was registered June 9, the day the con- plaint was brought against Wood. This last fact clearly proved that there had been 8 violation of law and Wood was fined as above stated.
 P. H. Carroll, charged with keeping an unregistered dog, was found not guilty after proving to the satisfaction of the court that the canine was less than three months old.
 Fred Schwartz, aged IS, was until three weeks ago hard working boy Lately he has associated with bad gang and has spent his days in idleness, sleep ing in barns and leading the life of a vagrant.

He is Not in tho Fighting Business For Fun-How the Big Fellow Gets On With His Training and What He Has to Say For HimselE

BELFAST, June N.-Owing to the disa. greeble weather, Sullivan was unable to start out for his walk at the usual hour to-day
 However, he made the best of the early morning hours by exercising in his training quarters.
 'He would punch the bag for twenty or thirty minutes. then jump the rope for about the same length of time.
 After this he would rush Cleary around the room for thirty or forty minutes.
 By this time he would have q good sweater. as he termed 1t, and was, he claimed. in readiness to show Muldoon a few good points in wrestling.
 A person would imagine from the rushes he makes at Muldoon, using his entire strength, that Muldoon would be obliged to succumb, and that Sullivan would accomplish his desires-that of throwing him; but the famous Greco- Roman wrestler Is always on the alert and is generally too quick for his big an- tagontst, although occasionally John l.. gets the better of him.
 Persons not seeing Sullivan daily would be surprised at the change in his appear ance, and dare say that when his old see him Tuesday next on his way to the fighting grounds they will be more than astopished, and doubt If he will be very readily recognized.
 When ho arrived in Belfast five weeks ago his face was pale and his eyes were sunken, and he looked like a man who had lost his last friend on earth.
 In all his looks resembled that of an animal that had been without food for weeks; but today his eyes are bright. and, although his face has been tanned by the sun, until 1t Is as brown as the average Indian, 1t denotes the youthful vigor that 1t did years ago, before he commenced dissipating.
 Lately he Is always cheerful and pleas ant, not cross and stern, as on his arri- val. This, his trainers claim, Is due to the confidence he has in winning his coming fight.
 Cleary said to him today: "John, I wish had as easy thing as you will have with Kilrain."
 "Yes," the big fellew replied. II im- agine 1t will be only play. am confl- dent of winning, but there are q great many who do not think as we do.
 Since my foot-race with Mitchell many are inclined to believe, because I did not knock him out in the first few rounds, thai am not the man l once was but these people do not seem to understand that I entered the ring to fight, and not to take part in six days go-as-you-ple ase."
 He concluded by saying: Perhaps Kill rain also imagines he has a soft thing, but will be there after the flight to in- form him that am still living"
