SULLIVAN THE VICTOR
KiIraim ..the baltimore Champion,
Goes Down.
The Big Boston Slugger Wins an Ea sy
Victory, After His Adversary
Had Repeated the
Mitchell Tactics.

NEW ORLEANS, July 8.-The great.
est and most notable pueilistic event
of the age occurred near Richbbrg to-
day, when Sullivan and Kilrain met
to test their strength and skill in a
battle for the worlds championship
The result has sent Sullivan's star
to point higher than it ever reach
ed before. and the proud distinction
that he is the champion of champions
applies now with more force than
ever.
The fight lasted two hours and
eighteen minutes. The first infor-
nation of the result was brought to
New Orleans by the special train OF
the Associated Press, which made
the run of 100 miles in three hours
and ten minutes. There was great
excitement at the ring side as Bud
Remand, Mike Donovan and Johnny
Murphy made their appearance.
which they did at 9:30 a. IN. On
the toss up for position Kilfain's re-
preventative, Mike Donovan, won,
and selected the Northeast corner.
Muldoon, Sullivan's representative,
chose the Southwest corner.
At this juncture the Sheriff of the
county made his appearance, and in
the name of the State OF Mississippi
commanded the peace, and retired,
this being the only part of the aus
thorities to interfere with the fight.
At this moment the flag of Sullivan,
brought from Boston, was placed in
his corner amidst great enthusiasm.
AT 10 o'clock the sun having gone
behind cloud, there was no percep-
tible advantage in either corner.
The PRINClPLES IN THE RING.
Kilrain was the fist to make his
appearance, accompanied by Mike
Donovan and Charlie Mitchell. He
was greeted with applause, but wore
a very serious air, as if fully realiz-
ing the work before him. As the
crowd recognized the stalwart form
of Sullivan as he jumped into the
ring, the cheers were deafening.
He looked i'll marked contrast to
Kilrain, seeming to be perfectly at
his ease regarding the termination
of the contest.

THE REFEREE SELECTED.

After considerable wranglihg over
the matter Charley Mitchell finally
said they were willing to accept
Fitzpatrick, and the announcement
was received with cheers.
Mitchell here went over and ex-
amined the spikes in Su1livan's shoes,
Cleary doing the same to Kilrain.
Both men being now stripped, it
was apparent to every one present
that Sullivan possessed great superi-
ority over his antagonist in the mat.
ter of size and Development, the
muscles of his arms standing out in
big welts, his driving power appear
ing tremendous and he seeming in
the very best OF spirits.
At 1910 the principles and sec
ond advanced to the centre of the
ring and formed maltese croes in
shaking hands, the latter retireing
outside the ropes and the principles
to their respective corners. AT the
call of time Sullivan and Kilrain aG-
vanced 10 the centre of the ring, the
former wearing a confident smile,
Kilrain looking serious, and the
great battle for the worlds champ
ionship began.
THROWS UP THE SPONGE.
When time was called for the
seventy-sixth round Mitchell ran
over to Sullivan's corner and asked
if he would give Kilrain a present,
provided they would throw up the
sponge. Sullivan generously ans
wered, "Of course l WILL" but
Mike Donovan seeing the condition
of his principal, to save him further
punishment, threw up the sponge,
and Sullivan had again proven his
title as the champion Of the world.
The only marks on Sullivan were
a slight cut under the right eye, and
another on the left ear.
SULLIVAN WILL RETIRE.
Sullivan says he will never enter
the ring again under any oonsiderat
tion.. He has done his share of slug
ging during. his rather brief career
in tina fistie arena, and wanted no
more of it. He certainly did not in
tend to fight the California negro
for the simple reason. that he con.
sidered it entirely to degrading for
a white man. to. place himself in
equality with negro.

OF course none of our readers come

lowing picture, drawn by a contem-
porary:
"The shiftless farmer has a lifelo ng
ambition to gain reputation for wear
ing a dirty shirt.
He will alarm the neighborhood by
getting up two hours before day and
then sit around and not go to work un-
til after sun-up.
HE will ride around week looking
for two-dollar hog.
He will complain of hard times.
then tear his pants climbing over q
fence where gate ought to be.
HE will pay three dollars for
new bride, and then let the calf chew
it to pieces before Sunday.
He gets all his neighbors to help
in getting a cow out of the bog. then
let her die from want of attention.
She will get in and destroy his crops
ut place in the fence that he has
been putting off fixing for six months.
He will sprain his back lifting
something to show how strong he is.
HE will go in his shirt-sleeves on
a cold day to show how much he can
stand, and then return home at night
and occupy two-thirds Of the fire.
place till bedtime.
He will ridicule the mechanism of
a corn-planter. then go out and smash
his thumb mailing a board on the fence.
HE will go to town on Saturday,
and come home with fifty cents worth
of coffee, paper Of pins and dol
lars worth of chewing tobacco.
He is economical; economy is his
forte; he will save ten cents worth of
axle-grease and ruin the spindle of q
seventy-dollar wagon.
HE won't subscribe for news
paper, but will borrow from his friend
and forget to return it."

An Excellent Illustration of Mycelal Webs
and Threads.
To begin. let us revert to the lilac
bush, whose whitened leaves may
readily afford illustration of mycelial
webs and threads. By September, if
not sooner. the entire foliage will have
taken on its peculiar wilderness as if
thickly busted with chalk or flour.
On certain leaves. however, appear
misunderstanding dark-brown speclls
or grains, very small, but plainly visi-
ble to the naked eye. Removing some
of these granules to the microscope,
we find the field filled with tiny sculpt-
ured spheres ornamented with a pro-
fusion of long. interlocking filaments.
starting out like so many extended
radii of each sphere. A gentle pressure
on the cover-glass breaks the sphere and
forthwith a dozen tiny sacs appear.
each packed with transparent oval
indicated spores, just such spores and
quite such sacs as appeared in tho
fruitinr surface of the morel, and We
are ready with the botanist to call the
oranules fruit. Who could have
guessed the contents of that sphere?
But look again at those radiating or
namental filaments. Trace to its distal
end a single ray, and see the grapnels
bv which the fertile globule we have
studied holds fast to the surface OF its
host through storm and flood. Notice

The Supreme Court Justices.

The justices of the Supreme Court
have "chums" among themselves.
Chief-Justice Fuller and Judge Harlan
are almost always together and are
daily seen walking TO and from the
Capitol. Judge Gray and the late
Judge Matthews were inseparable and
their intimacy, it is said, led to the
engagement of Judge Gray to Miss
Matthews. Judge Field and Judge
Bradley are very close friends and are
at each others houses frequently.

Blatchford is practical business man.

the bar of his State and afterwards a

of the bar, it has been years since he
has engaged in practice or turned any
special attention to the law, save to
give an occasional lecture upon 1t be-
fore the University Of Mississippi.
But probably this dissimilarity makes
them the more congenial; the one sup

a TERRlsLE DISEASE


Ine navages Of Pulmonary Consumptioa
In ths Unitsd ssaees.
Pulmonary consumption Il more to
be feared In every community than
any other disease that affects mankind.
Cholera. yellow-fever and small-pox
diseases that paralyze with fright en-
tire countries-are exceedingly limited
in their results in comparison with
the slaughter OF consumption. Last
year Florida was panic-strickcn from
the havoc of yellow-fever; but during
the same year consumption destroyed
more than twice as many lives in the
little State of New Hampshire. and not
q tremor ran through the body COR
porate. The average annual death
rate in this country, from cholera.
yellow-fever, smallpox. typhoid-fever.
diphtheria and scarlet-fever, all
combined, does not reach the
enormous total OF deaths from
consumption. It is time that some
determined and systematic effort be
made to lessen this disease which is
now regarded by so many as prevent
able. Among the general sources of
infection there is one, at least. that
should be removed. or, if not wholly
removed, greatly lessened by legal
culous food-products. Such foods.
chiefly in the form OF tuberculous meat
and milk. particularly the latter, are
undoubtedly extensively sold to unsus-
pecting consumers; and that the re-
suits are not infrequenHy lamentable,
no sanitarian doubts. The general
Government has taken no measures
to restrict this abuse. nor have
the individual States. To illustrate: the
New Hampshire State Board of Health
says that very recently complaint was
made to the Board of Cattle Commits
sioners that some disease existed in q
herd OF thirty cows in q certain town
of the State; and, under the assump-
ton that the disease might be pleuro-
pneumonia, the Government upon
notification, sent competent veter-
mary surgeon to inspect the herd.
The inspector Immediately diagnosed
tuberculosis, had an infected cow
killed, and the post-mortem examina-
ton revealed tubercles in nearly every
organ of the\body, including the udder.
The inspector reported that seventy
five per cent. of the herd was infected.
All, or nearly all, the cows were being
MIXED, and the product being sold
daily to a milk-dealer for distribution
among his customers. The dairyman
ignorant of the character of the dis
ease. was bringing up baby upon the
milk of a single cow in which the dis
ease had advanced nearly to its fatal
termination. Under the laws OF New
Hampshire. neither the Board of Cat
tie Commissioners nor the State Board
of Health has any authority ito deal
with tuberculosis in cattle in a way
necessary to restrict its spread among
other herds, or to prevent the dangers
to which it subjects the human family.

PORTER'S QUEER EDICTS.
A Man who Should He Closely Watched
by All Honest Citizens.

A Man who Should He Closely Watched
by All Honest Citizens.
Every thing that Census Superin-
tendent Porter does seems to be
viewed with suspicion, and the singu-
lar part of it is that about every thing
Mr.. Porter does is calculated to arouse
suspicion. When he was appointed it
was proclaimed all over the country
that his appointment was solely in the
interest of the monopolies, who relied
on him to manipulate the census sta
tistics SO as to make a favorable show
ing for the protectionists. Possibly
the accusation was unjust. yet it IS
certain that Mr. Porter has done
nothing in his own vindication. On
the contrary, every move that he
makes is calculated to confirm the i'm
preston that went abroad when he
was first appointed. Not Icing ago it
was suggested to him that the census
force should be appointed in the way
2 rescribed by the Civil-Service
law. This suggestion was scout
ed by Mr.. Porter, and he
made an elaborate argument to
show that examinations for ap-
pointment would be detrimental
to success in census taking. just as
the country had made up its mind to
let the census superintendent have his
way about it, he reverses his opinion
and decides that examinations are
necessary. But he doesn't propose to
allow the Civil-Service Commission to
have finger in his census pie, SO he
announc es that he will establish an
examina ton system of his own. indie
pendent of the Civil-Service law and
rules. Just where Mr.. Porter gets
his authority to establish system OF
special examination is not apparent.
1t occurs to us that, if examinations
are desirable at all, the census super
intenden: should be governed by the
general law, which does not except his
bureau from its operations. This
special examination business is really
suggestive of a son of Africa being con-
cealed in the census wood-pile some
where. At all events, it will be nee
essary for the people of this country
to keep their eyes skinned while Mr..
Porter is taking the census. We want
an honest census. and nothing short of
that will satisfy the people.-St- Paul
Globe.

CHAPTER 1I-CONTfauED.
The old man rose and called to a negro
boy to bring him lighted candle The
sleepy darkey soon complied, and, followed
by Luke, the farmer went to his private
room, where was an old-fashioned escri-
toire. He opened one Of the drawers with
an assurance that secuted at any doubt Of
the precious relic. But y look Of uneasi-
ness came over his face.
''It's gone" he said.
"Look well; it may have got in some other
nook" said Luke, eagerly.
He did so. He went through drawer
after drawer, but at last, in despair, whis-
pered:
ats stolen"
"Who did it!''
The farmer could give no satisfactory
answer. They searched every where that
it could be possible for the missing relic
to be, but of no avail.
With an aching head and heart heavy
with disappointment, Luke Mason retired
to his bed that night; weary from travel he
at last fell asleep, despite his anxiety. He
seemed to have scarce lost consciousness,
and his mind had begun to wander amid
vague, misty dreams, when he was aroused
by . loud noise OF confused voices in which
were mingled oaths, threats and the plead
ings of Mr.. Neff and his daughter.
"She. up, old man; we hain't agwine ter

voice. Luke, alarmed, sprang from his bed
and ran to the window. The front yard was
filed with armed men. Mr. Neff and Lille
