After this round Kilrain wasn't in it, bar ac-
cidents, as a possible winner. He had sprinted
before. but now he began circling the ring like
a hoDby-horse OF merry-go-round never
going near Sullivan If he could avoid him He
persistently violated the rule which SAYS a
man must be at the scratch eight seconds after
time Is called. For twenty rounds he never
attempted TO toe the scratch. but circled the
ring. and often deliberately threw himself
down without receiving blow. That he was
putting on the end as long possible, or
hoping that Sullivan would lose his TEMPER
and strike him a foul blow was apparent to all
From first to last Sullivan was intensely melo-
dramatic. Often when the crowd would call
upon him, 60 in, John, and knock him out 4"
he would raise his right arm TO its full extent
and, with deprecating wave OF his hand, he
would still the shouts and cries. Again. when
! Jake would tumble down without a blow he
would look at him with ineffable scorn as he
called the referees attention to the matter by
| a supe rb sweep OF his arm. But the climax of
| his theatric display occurred in one round
| where he toed the scratch when Kilrain clrcled
around the ropes. Planting himself sqaarely
on his feet, he raised his head aloft like a con-
| queror, threw out his massive chest, and then
| folded his arms across it. He was at once Her.
| cules and Spartacus combined, and even his
hated rival, Charley Mitchell, looked at him
| with admiring eyes.
| Too much cannot be said i'm praise of Mike
Donovsn.s humanity in throwing up the sponge
against Mitchells protest. Mike saw that Jake
was going fast. He was nearly helpless, and
Sullivan, strong on his legs as an OF, was get

THE PRINCE OF BLATHERsKITEs
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.l

From The LOUISVILLE Courler-J0urnal.
1t seems Tanner. in his zeal to raid
the treasury, offers the old soldiers and
their widows more than they want
AT the Milwaukee meeting resolution
was introduced calling tor law con-
tinuing a widows pension after she
married again. This seems about as
reasonable as to give a pension to a
man who daily demonstrates his ability
to support himself, but the argument
made by Tanner in behalf of the change
aroused such Indignation that the
resolution was beaten and all mention
of the episode was omitted by the Off
cial stenographer. In urging the pas
sage of the resolution, Tanner said:
81 want to say that to fail to adopt
some such rule is to place premium
upon immortality. There is not week
that there are not great many cases
that come to my knowledge where
women have made lambskins of their
virtue to obtain pension
This is the man who is to day the
recognized leader OF the G. A. Il re.
Gently endorsed" anC commended, yet
who is doing all in tie power of one
man to make the uniform of the old
soldier a stigma. Last week ruling
was made which will secure pension
for soldiers discharged in disgrace.
When resolution was introduced at
Chicago disappearing this act it was
snofhered. But when, in addition to
putting on the pension list towards,
traitors and the whole army of men
who disgraced the uniform they wore,
Tanner wished to add the widows
whose virtue could not stand the
temptation of Sl2 month, there was
a revolt. The q. A Il. is willing that
dishonored men shall be on the pen
sion list, but they draw the line at dis
honest women. The episode is very
instructive.

PHASES OF THE LIQUOR PROBLEM.
From the New York Evening Post. I

From the New York Evening Post.l
About a year ago a resident OF con-
siderable town In the eastern part OF
Maine, while on visit TO New York,
spoke with enthusiasm of the advan-
tages of prohibition as its workings
were illustrated in that place.
1.-The law is strictly enforced in my
town. said the visitor, "and there
isn't a single saloon in the place. just
think how much better it is for the
young men who are growing up, and
the older men who might be in danger
of becoming drunkards, not to have
even one rum shop in the town!
There is a generation coming on the
stage in that place which never saw
saloon, while here in New York il
seems that there is saloon on every
corner, and temptation was put in the
path of the young man, whichever way
he turned"
A few weeks ago a clergyman from
this vi aine town was in New York city Z.
i On the street one day he ran across a
man who used to be a neighbor, but
who had left Maine some time before.
81 didn't know You were in New
York." said the Clergyman. "How
did you happen to settle here?"
"Well." was the reply, after a little
hesitation, "I'll tell you just how ii was.
You know that got to drinking too
much down in Maine. made up my
mind to stop, but soon found out that
| had got to leave that town il was
going to do it. You know there aren't
any saloons in the place, but you
haven't any idea how many places
there are where men drink ION the sly.
That was what played the mischief
with me. Every day some of my
friends would be getting me off into a
quiet place-a little private club ar
rangement, or something of that sort
where there was plenty to drink, and
| couldn't get out of drinking my
share of it. ! saw that was going to
the devil unless | made break and
got away from those temptations.
found chance in New York, and
came here. 1t seems strange to you. i
suppose, that man should leave a
Maine town, where there isn't single
saloon, and come to New York, where
| there are saloons all around him, In
order to reform; but that Is just what
have done, and what found myself
| driven 10 40. Iuc open sdiooh uas hu
temptations for me; it was drinking
'on the sly with little parties of friends
that was running me.'
About the same time that the latter
conversation occurred, the first men
toned resident of the Maine town re-
turned from trip to Europe and a
stay &. some months in wine-drinking
county. Educated in the theory OF
prohibition, the traveller had looked
forward to seeing shocking scenes OF
'oxication in foreign lands which
a never enjoyed the advantages OF
9, Maine law. Months were spent
mong people who drink wine as reg
ularly as the old ladies of New England
drink tea, but the expected swarms o
drunkards did not appear. Indeed the
most impressive feature of the observa
tons made, as the traveller was / ones
enough to confess, was the absence o
intoxication where the wine glass wa
present.

four hours while the great procession passed by, needless of the rain, and taking off his hat as each and every color bearer, in passing by, saluted the new chief magistrate.
 The rain kept on falling steadily; but the enthusiasm of the multitude massed on the sidewalks and on the large stands opposite the presidential reviewing stand was in no wise dampened or diminished by it, and cheer after cheer from thousands of throats re sounded as the military and civic organiza- tions passed by.
 As the rear of the first division passed the reviewing stand Mrs Harrison, Mrs Mckee, Mrs Saunders, MT. Mckee, and those who accompanied the president to the White House took seats on the stand. The appear ance of Mrs. Harrison was the signal for an- other great outburst of applause from the multitude. Gen. Alger, numerous govern ment officials, representatives of foreign gov ernments, and many other distinguished per sons had seats on the stand. A few minutes after President Harrison had gone on the grand stand Secretary Fairchild called at the executive mansion for ex6President Cleveland and conveyed him in his carriage to the secretary's residence, where Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Folsom were waiting to receive them. Mir. and Mrs. Cleveland re- mained at the Fairchild residence last night, and to-day, accompanied by Col Lamont and Mrs. Lamont, will leave Washington for New York
