HAIL TO THE CHIEF !
BOSTON READY TO FALL DOWN AND W0R-
SHIP JOHN L.
The Big Man tn. Idol Of all Admirers Of Pugilism-
A Fight Between Him and Smith
Pugilisto Aohs-Bass Ball
General Sports.

Boston, July 26.-The admirers o.
John L. Sullivan are determined TO give
the champion as hearty reception as pos
sible upon his return to this city, but th;
exact shape il will take has not been de-
termined. Inasmuch 20 the proposed
pyrOtecb1ic display, which was to be
given in homer ofSullivSn's victory, is pre-
vented by the police, ii is understood that
any demonstration of similar nature and
any outdoor gathering in his honor would
ALEC come under the bas Of the police off
cials.
Had Sullivan returned last Wednesday,
as per programme, it was the intention Of
his friends to have given him banquet
at frst-class down town hotel. 1t was
expected that 800 tickets would hs taken,
although they were held az high figure.
Itseems TO be the general fesling that the
reception should be of quist form, and
such as will not bring the participants ID
conflict with the police.
Johns first act on arriving at Johnson's
when he had had talk with his hackers,
was to present Billy MuldoOn with 81, SOC
for his trailing services and success in get
ting him into the wonderful condition.
MuldoOn left the party early in the even.
ing to return to New York. After Null
doom was gone Sullivan took HE first drink
in New York since the fight. He had been
content to take cigar or lemon and
seltzsr with every fresh bottle of ''fiz''
cracked, but when Wakely urged him to
take something for his stomach's sake
"Well, I'll Just go you once" said the big
champion, and be called for glass Of Old
Tom. Then he stuck to his cigars and
seltZsr.
READY FOR SMITH.

belt won by Sullivan on the Slh of July
"The dog collar is to be returned immedi-
ately. We have found out that it is worth
just S175. Aud to think" he went on
mOurnfully, "that put up 81, 600 to get
it."
"How about the match with Jem
Smith?'
1--WE will do what was never done be-
fore. We will give Jem Smith 81, 500 to
make match with John. He offered us
e200-that's 81 600 of cur mOney-for ex-
penses if we'd make a match. Now, we
will give him two and half times that
to make match with us. But it must be
our kind of match. John snd all of us
have done with breaking the law. We
will back Sullivan sgaizst Smith for SIC.

TEN PEOPLE BURNED TO DEATH.
A Whole Family Killed by the Burn
Ing Of Their Home.

Theodore Gross, aged fifty-seven, his wife
Mary, aged forty-seven, and their children,
Kate, aged twenty-five; John. nine teen; An
tome, thirteen; Mary, twelve; Lizzie, ten; Joe,
nine; Michael, six, and Lena, two years old,
were burned to death at their home near
Houghton, Mich, early yesterday morning.
Theodore Gross returned from a dance near by
at o'clock. At 2:3O son, Theodore, jr., re-
turned from the Huron stamp mills. where he
is employed. He went into the house and to
bed. Shortly after he was awakened by his
brother Nicholas, who heard screams coming
from an adjoining room occupied by their
three sisters and three little brothers. They
ran to the partition door and found the room a
mass of flames.
Smoke and fire were ascending the stairway
and the boys escaped by jumping through a
window They reached the ground seriously
cut by glass and in a sc mi-nude condition. One
attempted to enter the house on the ground
floor where the father, mother and the children
slept, but was driven back by the flames that
enveloped the building.
1t was impossible for the spectators, who
quickly gathered, to save the inmates They
were compelled to stand by and hear their
agonizlng cries. In the course of three hours
searching party went over the ruins and dis
covered the charred re mains of ten bodies dis
tinguishable only by the size of the bones. They
were gathered in sleigh box and deposited in
the public hall.
There is no reliable information as to how
the hre started. Theodore Gross, jr.. says that
1t might have originated from the lamp that he
supposed he extinguished before he went to
bed. There are rumors that the dreadful ca
lamity occurred through the carelessness of the
parents, who are alleged to have returned
home intoxicated from the dance. The children
were all born In the mouse where they died.

THE AMERICAN ANTAGONISTS.
They Wind Up Their Session In Phila.
delphia Saturday.

The last days session Of the Association Of
American Anatomists was held Saturday in the
University Of Pennsylvania, with Prof. Joseph
Leidy in the chair. The greater part of the
session was consumed in the discussion of re-
port, which had been prepared by committee
composed Of DR.. Leidy, chairman; DR.. Harri-
son Allen, DIR. B. Wilder, Dr. T. B. Stowell and
DIR. Frank Baker, the latter of this city. The
report recommended that changes should be
made in the use of some Of the anatomical
terms now used.
1t was deemed advisable by the committee
that the cornua OF the spinal column and the
spinal nerve roots be known hereafter as '.dor-
sal" and ventral," respectively instead of q
''posterior" and anterior" The terms pos
terror and anterior are used in human anatomy
and sometimes employed in comparative anat-
omy. 1t was further decided that the costifer-
GUS vertebr@, ''thoracic," be changed to dor
sal; 'luppo campus minor" to ''calcor;" chip
po-campus major" to "hippocampus;" ''pons
varolii to '.pons;" 'insula Reiii" to ''insula, ~
and ''pia mater" and ''dura mater" to ''dura"
The report provoked considerable discussion
among the members, many of whom consid-
cred the changes too sweeping and tending to
confuse those engaged in the study of anatomy
Nevertheless the changes were adopted with
out dissent.

HUNTING HER BOY HUSBAND
The Unpleasant Matrimonial Expert
ence Of a Pretty baltimore Girl.

From the New York Sun. Sunday
Miss Annie Webster, the pretty eighteen
year-old daughter of Baltimore blacksmith
was married in Baltimore in July last to Henry
L. Wellington, the eighteen-year-o. son of
Henry Wellington, wealthy lamp manufac-
turer OF 449 Putnam avenue, Brooklyn. Young
Wellington went to Baltimore last summer to
look after business enterprise near that city
in which his father was interested. He met
Miss Webster at n party, and within two weeks
they were secretly married. To the minister
Wellington gave his age as twenty-five. For
some time after the ceremony the bride con-
tlnued to live with her parents, her boy husband
having returned to Brooklyn In October she
went to the latter city at his request, and went
to live i'll the family of Detective Charles Cham
bers at % De Bevoise place. Mr.. Chambers
refused to take the girl in as a boarder until
she had exhibited her marriage certificate.
Wellington continued to live in his Putnam
avenue home, but he visited his wife three or
four times week. He did not pay his wife's
board, but on Wednesday last he told Mrs.
Chambers he would return on Friday, settle
all outstanding accounts and take his wife to
nat which he was fitting up for housekeeping.
He did not keep his promise and on Monday
last Mrs. Wellington went to the Putnam ave-
nue. house to make inquiry about him. All the
information she could get was that Harry,
who his relative said, was only seventeen
years old and altogether too young to marry,
mad gone to Ohio to resume his college studies,
which had been interrupted when he made his
trip to Baltimore last summer. The bride has
now consulted lawyer, but what measures
will be taken in her behalf has not yet been
decided on. Ii possible she will secure some
employment in Brooklyn, as she does not want
to return to Baltimore

New York Letter to Richmond Times.
There are in New York quite number of
rich and influential japanese merchants Some
OF them have been in this country for quite a
number OF years, and have adopted both the
language and dress of the country. Fifteen
years ago japanese club was started, but it
had no settled abode until about three years
ago, when the funds of the excheuuer war
ranted renting goOd-sized dwelling house on
west I'D street near 9th avenue The decora-
tons of the house are a mixture Of Japanese
and American styles, but there are some very
fine specimens of japanese art and bric-a -brac.
The cuisine is in charge of a japanese cook.
The annual reception is always given on the
emperors birthday, November 3, and they
always celebrate New Years day. The reading
room is furnished with all the japanese peri
odcal literature and the library is well supplied
with books. Foreigners always enjoy the hos
pitality OF the club; it seems to them like a
small piece Of their native land, brought over
for their special endowment

World and is the author OF the column entitled
Celebrities at Home" also the right-hand
man of Augustus Harris of Drury Lane theater.
He arranges his social functions and his artistic
meetings, as is known to the leading literary,
artistic and dramatic people of London. The

the sudden death Of his father at Sandusky.

waited the arrival of the remains. Arriving a,
the capital city he and other relatives received
the body, which had been shipped in the care

was able to speak. He was transported to a
bed and now lies there very weak and ill. but
still alive, and his relatives are not without
hope that he may yet be wrested from deaths

He Doesn't Like Work.

am convinced that nobody in Washington
despises work as does ex-Congressman Money
OF Mississippi. He was sitting in little group
OF southerners not long ago when he said:
II hate work. l think that men who like
work for its own sake are either freaks or myths.
l don't think any normal man works unless he
has to. man may be of nervous temper
ament and SO constituted that he is not happy
unless he is working; but man of sound mind
and even disposition works for the comforts
and the luxurles which work will gain for him
IN his leisure hours. Ny ideal of human hap
piness is to lie on the grass in the shade of big
tree, eat peaches and read novels That is
what 1 will do when 1 get money enough to
retire from work. And will never again live
in a country where they have frosts, either"
