How ,senasosp Cunom WORKED His Wsy
Into . Conventaon Hall.
Senator Cullom met newspaper man
here to-day, writes . Washington corre-
spondent, who recalled to his mind Q Gu,
,ri0us incident Of the National convention Of
,16e0, in which both took part. 4Cullom was
then Governor Of Illinois, and the news
paper man was keeper Of one Of the inner
doors at the convention. When they met
the newspaper man remarked:
"senator, you may not remember it, but
you owe me debt"
"How is thatl" asked the Senator.
"Do you remember the young man that
got you into the convention one day in 1880"
"Why, Of course do; you are not the
young man, are youa II you are do owe
you debt, sure enough"
The conversation brought out the Incl
dent. Governor Cullom forgot his ticket
one day, and, when he told the outer door
keeper that he was Governor of the State
the man would not believe him. Governor
Cullom affected the hayseed in his manners
and dress in those days. He insisted on
being let In, and, finally, the guard consent
ed to take him as far as the inner door.
There he presented him to the young door
keeper, saying:
"Here's q fellow who says he's Shelby
Cullom; I don't take any stock in him, but
if you're mind TO let him in you can do
it."
The Governor took the matter good
| naturedly, and assured the door-keeper that
he really was Shelby Cullom.
there's lot Of fellows that come here
with lust such stories as that every day"
said the door-keeper. 'If you're Governor
Cullom you ought to have q ticket"
After some arguing, however, the door
keeper said: "I'll tell you what I'll do: You
come inside and I'll tell you mighty quick
whether you're fraud or not"
The Governor said all right, and followed
| the young man to the platform. When they
were where they could get good look at
the people sitting there the door-keeper
said: SNOW do you see any body you
| kuowi"
Before the Governor had time to pick out
any one Bob Ingersoll saw him and called
out:
"Hey, Shelby. come over here"
.'It's all right, Governor" said the door
keeper, sand I'm sorry I made you any
trouble, but you'll admit that did the
square thing"
"Yes, young man, you did, and owe yos
debt" said the Governor, and the INCL
dent ended until to-day.

A youthful newspaper friend Of mine,
writes the Chicago Journals sidewalk
stroller, who is SO fond Of the pastime Of
''guying' his acquaintauces that he fro
quently verges upon pure fabrication, de-
iivered himself last night Of q piece Of su.
dacity SO monstrous that the recollection Of
it even now enchains my attention and re-
fuses to be dismissed A lively little party
of five or six had gathered in the parlor
after dinner, and, after running a gamut Of
other subjects, the conversation had turned
upon newspapers. Among other things,
it is my youthful friends duty to clip from
the Exchanges" every day column of wit
ticism Of various length and grades Of ex-
ce!lence. and select the best of them for
publication, under suitable headline in his
paper next morning. twas with q happy
knowledge of this IN view that one Of the
company, q bright and attractive girl, inter
rogated the youth Ia this wise: "Mr. NJ
quoth she, "how can you possibly find the
ideas to write Q whole column Of those
funny paragraphs every dayl' The young
man winked stealthily at me and responded: !:
"Oh, it's very simple, assure you. Just
light my pipe. put my heels on the desk and
think hard for five minutes. Then the
ideas come, and ! generally manage to write
the whole column in about three-quarters
Of an hour" The young lady was duly Inn
pressed, but inquired: ''What does the little
line at the bottom Of each paragraph mean 2
It's always the name Of some other paper,
isn't ita" For one instant the young rascal
was staggered, but recovered himself in
stantly and answered with sublime ef-
frontery: "Oh yes, just stick the name Of
any paper happen to think Of at the end Of
each paragraph, so as to add little diver
sity to the column. People think they're get
ting the best in the market then, you know"
The young lady was perfectly satisfied and
accepted the explanation In the best Of
faith. A veteran journalist who was pres
ent muttered something sotto poce about
having heard the best lie Of the century.

FIGHT BETWEEN eULuoocA AND GORILLA

NEW YORK, Dec. H. Sanitary Inspector
Guiteras, who investigated the report that
Russian influenza had arrived in town, re-
ported today TO DIR. Edison Of the board o
health. The matter was brought 10 the atten-
ton OF the board by DIR. Carl Lellman, who
notified IL that seven out Of the thirteen MEM
bers OF the family Of Albert Klamroth OF 1873
East 46th street were suffering from what he
believed TO be Russian influenza. In his report
the inspector says: THE ages OF those attacked
range from fifty years to four years, all but two
little children being over twenty-one years No
cause OF the attack was apparent; none OF the
family have recently arrived from Europe or
associated or been thrown in contact with recent
arrivals or any one suffering from the disease.
Certain ones recently received letters from Eu-
rope. The head of the house, q man about
forty years old, still in convalesence, saws that
although he received letters constantly from
Europe, no one in his Office had been affected.
The young lady who the first one attacked
received a letter from Berlin the day before
the attack came on. The first case occurred
December IL, the second on the following day
and the third ON the 18th. The fourth and
nfth cases occurred on December Il and the
sixth and seventh on the 10Th. The first symp-
toms were sudden faintness, chill and marked
prostratlon. Then succeeded headache and q
general feeling Of malaise. followed by acute
coryza, pharyngitis and slight laryngitis

A Montana Man Dies From a Blow of the
Fist

BUTTE, MoSr., Dec. l7.-John Gallagher died
at his home in this city last evening from the
effect of injuries received from g. H. Ward in q
brutal fist fight that took place on Sunday
morning. The cause Of the fight was a dispute
between the men over a trifiing account con-
nected with house which Gallagher had built
for Ward Bad blood was engendered, and q
fight was formally arranged for the day named
to take place at a sporting resort a couple of
miles from town. Only the principals and q
dozen others were present. One hundred and
hve rounds were fought, all Of them fendish in
their brutality, the men fighting like tigers
Ward knocked Gallagher down ninety-eight
times. Gallagher's left arm was broken by a
blow In the forty-eIghth round, but he fought
on with undiminished ferocity. In the ninety
eighth round Ward caught Gallagher of his
guard and delivered terrible Highlander
under the the chin, knocking Gallagher sense
less. He partially recovered and fought seven
more rounds in half dazed condition, receiv-
ing awful punishment until he was knocked out

BULL DOG AND GORILLA.
An Unequal Fight Ends i'm Quick Death
to the Canine.

FoRT WAYNE, IND, Dec. 17.-One of the most
singular, fiercest and bloodiest combats that
have ever taken place in this state occurred
near Van Vert, Ohio, yesterday. The fight
was between an imported thoroughbred bull
dog and young African gorilla. The dog
was a fine animal, weighing 40 pounds, the
gorilla a savage-looking brute, weighing so
pounds. They were put into an inclosure II
feet square and eight feet high. A large crowd
was present and betting was lively with odds
largely in favor of the gorilla. The fight was
to be continued until one Of the animals was
killed. As soon as they faced each other the
dog sprang for the gorilla and tried to sink his
teeth in the gorilla's tough hide, but he was
unsuccessful as lie could not penetrate the skin.
In less than one minute the gorilla had caught
the dog in his large muscular arms and sank
his long tusks repeatedly into his neck and
was with great difficulty that the infuriated
gorilla was gotten back into his cage
