SULLIVAN DRUNK.
His Trainers Bave Scrap About
His Drinking.

NKw YORK, March 9.-John L. Sulli-
van is on drunk. 1t is thus far gen
teel drunk. 1t began on his arrival here
from Boston. and the opening drinks
the spree were imported malt liquors,
the excuse being that John needed
fat and that the English porte r
and stout were just the things to line
him with leaf lard. He is hitting the
rosy now, hard and often. There is now
a suspicion of uneaSineSs among his
hackers and feeling of disgust
among the better class of his friends.
Nevertheless, there are many who
still cling to the belief that the
big fellow will round to and get
into good shape for his coming battle
with Kilrain. Late on Friday night.
after a lively Seance with a party of
friends in Jimmy Wakely's saloon at
Forty second street and Sixth avenue,
John L. started down Broadway in COM
pany with Mike Sullivan, his brother.
Jack Barnitt and Jack Hayes. his
trainer. On the corner of Thirty-nrst
street and Broadway the party stopped
to hold a council of war. Sullivan was
PRETTY WELL LOADED.
and Barnitt was anxious to get him into
bed, but Sullivan was obstinate and
made his companions go with him to

rules. Hayes retorted by inviting Mike
to step outside and have his nut knocked
Off. "Punch the dutfer in the nose,
Nike" growled John. While Mike
was putting himself on war
footing, Jack Barnitt-who has
no love for Hayes-asked the
privilege of taking Mikes place. Mike
at once resigned in Barnitt's favor. and
the latter with HAYES. retired to the
sidewalk. Here hostilties Immediately
commenced. The trainer promptly
stopped Barnitt's right with his nose,
and then, grabbing his enemy by the
neck, Hayes threw himself heavily
underneath Barnitt, with the evident
intention of hosting the latter over the
housetops. He was baffied by the
police, who, with some difficulty, I'M
mixed the cOmbatants and called time
for the first round. The fighters re-
turned to the interior of the saoo II,
where the trouble was renewed. The y
were once more separated and warned
by the police. Sullivan sat in the back
room during the whole fight and was
not aware of the trouble. Hayes was
slightly cut about the face, but Barnitt
was unScathed. 1t was rumOred that
Sullivan's hackers threatened to with
draw their money if he does not per-
manently reform.

A Bravo Soldier.

There are men who, after battle, die
of imaginary wounds, and there are
others who seem incapable of realizing
actual danger OF the latter class was
brave fellow whose courage is thus de-
scribed in Regis de Trobriand's -Four
Years with the Army of the Potomac"
He was a strapping Jrishman, whom
found smoking his pipe at the door of
the hall where lay the wounded.
"Well," said l to him, show do you
find yourself?"
Perfectly, colonel. Never better in
my life."

covered with bandages, thenF"
''Oh, mere nothing--a scratch. I'll
show it to you"
''No, thank you"
Eyes, yes, you will sec what it is"
Raising congresses and bandages, he
showed me gaping wound in the place
of the eyebrows, which had been carried
away.

not been dressed this morning"
"No, the doctor put this on yesterday;
but today he's SO busy with the others,
who need his help more than I, that l
didn't want to bother him"
"And your eyer"
"Gone. But you see, colonel, it's only
the left eye, and that will save me the
trouble of closing it while l take aim,
which always did bother me. In fort
night I'll be back with the regiment.

Many years ago Nathaniel Wilbur, of Dur
ham, was popularity supposed to be the man
in town who could build load of hay in the
least time and in the best manner
One day he made a wager with his three
sons that he could take care of the hay as ia t
as they all could pitch it into the rack,
He succeeded in this very well until the load
began to rise above and overhang the sides Of
the rack
In his eagerness to outdo the old gentleman,
one of the boys, with his forkfiil of hay,
forced his father over the opposite side upon
the ground.
fastening around to render assistance, if
necessary, the boys found their father on his
feet with his arms full of the hay he had
dragged off with him, good naturedly wait
