SIugged the Big Fellow

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Dec. 1.-THE
only man who ever struck John l..
Sullivan in anger and then added to
the indignity by kicking his shins,
and still escaped without even a re-
monsIrance from the big fellow, is
the gate tender at the Fairfield avenue
crossing of the consolidated railroad
in this city. Sullivan and his compa
ny came down the Naugatuck road
On Sunday night. While the others
went into the waiting room, where it
was warm, John l.. strolled to the
west end of the building, where he
posed for the benefit of an admiring
th-Ong who had quickly recognized
him. He was sober and unusu-
ally good natured, and when
the gate tender told him to move
on, as he was in the way and il was
against the rules, -ullivsn paid no
attention TO him. A rather forcible
blow in the face was administered
by the railroad man, with a little
emphatic English concerning Ioafers.
but Sullivan only looked at him and
grinned. Then the irste gate-tender,
whose feet were clad In hobnailed
shoes, let one of them fly. 1t struck
Sullivan on the leg and drew his at
tention for q minute, then he smiled
again, turned around and walked off.
The gate tender Is now hero. When
spoken with concerning the incident,
and told who the man was whom he
had kicked, he remarked: cam
John l.. Sullivan, is it? Begorra,
divil do 1 care. He obeys the rules
and regulations of the Consolidated
very time. Ii he wants to thry 1t
over again hell find me here ready

Breweries aud the Saloons.

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. LIT is an
nounced that all the syndicate brew
cries of the city have decided to cease
advancing mouey to saloon keepers
for the purpose of procuring licenses,
and the result Is that possibly It. 90
saloons will close their doors the first
of the year. Many of the breweries
have for several years been in the
habit of doing even more than adj
vancing the money. They have
relieved the saloon-keeper of all
trouble In the matter, and nave sem
their agents to the City Hall and had
them procure the license tor the Gus.
toner and take it around to him.
One or two breweries have gone
farther. They have paid the free.
lunch counter expenses of some of
their customers. This was all done
to keep the brewers signs out, and
the burden has been heavy, each
license costing $500 per year. Most
of the saloons which will be- closed
are on the outskirts of tn. city and
in localities which are not particular
ly beer-driDking neighberhoods. But
there are number of downtown re-
sorts that will also pass out of exis-
tence, somewhat 20 the surprise of
the public. Not only have the brew
ers grown weary of advancing money
for the purpose named, ut the larg-
est measure of complaint has come
tom those saloon keepers who have
been able to make both ends meet
These claim that it is not fair for the
brewers TO give the man who asks the
advance q better chance than the
man who pays cash. There are now
5000 saloons In the city, and the
number, it is believed, will be re-
duced to 5000 next year.

The opera comique, or more prop

PekiD,' which has delighted SO many
thousands in the north and east, was
given to San Antonio audience last
night at the Grand opera house for

The topical songs and hits are fresh,

Dese dances, Chinese music and a

A COFFIN HIS BED.
An Obioan's Strange Couch-Nightly
Sbrouded for the Grave.


ALLIANCE, O.. Dec. 17-Barney
Fricke is we'll known character in
the vicinity of this city, one of whose
eccentriclties is to sleep every night
in coffin of his own manufacture, and
which he made nearly twenty years
ago on recovery from severe ill.
ness, in order that it might be
ready for his death. 1t is prob
able that hts mind was IN
hinged by his illness, for it is
said by those who know HIM best,
that he prepares himself solemnly for
his death and robes himself in q
shroud every night on retiring. He
Is, however, very sensitive on the sub
ject of his mania, and has been
know to fly into dangerous passion
when leased about it, although
usualls very quiet and good .natured
The coffin is made of oak and put to-
gether with considerable skill,
Fricke having been carpenter by
trade, though living life of perfect
idleness on small income in
herited from his father, who was an
inventor of some note during
the early part of the century.
The coffin is ornamented with much
carving, representing Bibles scenes
and allegorlcal subjects, which are
said, by the, very few who have been
permitted to see it, to show considera-
able artistic talent. Fricke is in his
18th year and has q very pleasant,
dignified manner, aud when he can
be persuaded to talk, does so very
very sensibly, except when death is
preached, when he becomes excited
and violent when con tradicted or ar
gued with. He is widower, with
out children, having lost his wife
when he was % years old, and after
only q week of married life.

The New Fair Secretary.

Col. Webster Flanagan, late re-.

apolOgized for not writing saoner, by
saying that he meant to await the
announcement of the official count,

the Jig was up with himself, and that
he would have to join Mckinley and
the rest at the bottom of the "say."
From the merry vein in which he

rather Bull Run.
