A DISTINGUISHED PATIENT.
John L. Sullivan Will Go to the Kelley
Institute for Drunkenness

John l.. Sullivan Will &c to the Kelley
Institute for Drunkenness.
CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-John L. Sullivan,
champion pugilist of America, will play his
next important engagement at Dwight, Ill.
This time DR.. Lester G. Kelley will act as
his manager. The great and only John l..
will each morning bare his great arm and
receive his daily injection of biohloride of
gold. He will be under the same ~restric-
tions as other patients, and his disease, for
it has been proved that drunkenness is a
disease. it is expected, will gracefully yield
to the gentle influences exerted by DIR.
keeley's inspiriting cure. Sullivan's trip
to the Antipodes was not a bowling success
financially. The American champion did
not draw like a three-ring circus in
the big Australian towns, and he re-
turned to San Francisco sore in heart
and poor in pocket. For sixty days
John had held in check his appetite
for rum. When he landed on California's
hospitable shores his troubles began, He
was sued for debt and his show did not
draw. Then he became careless and the
newspapers touched him with no gentle
hand, All of this brought on one of his
bad spells. He drowned his rage at his ill
success in the wine cup and appeared on
the stage in a state of intoxication.
One night while the forge scene was on he

Rered to the footlights and, in a voice in

cough, offered to do up any critic in the
crowd. He also shook his fist at the ''gods''
end denounced them in unmeasured terms.
His conduct off the stage was even worse,
and things finally came to such a pass that
his hackers, Charlie Johnston and Jimmie
Wakeley threatened to withdraw their sup
port and disband the show.
Sullivan had heard of the wonder ul cures
performed at Dwight. Turning to Duncan
b. Harrison he said: II say, Dune, this
guy Kelley is putting some of the boys on
the right road. The Doc says drunkenness
is a disease. That hits me between the eyes

ment a crack. What do you think of the
scheme, old mani"
Harrison thought it was a good sugges-
ton. and at once arranged matters with
johnston. The troupe will play its way
across the continent, close it's season a few
weeks in advance. and Sullivan will place
himself under Keeley's treatment. After
he leaves Dwight he will 90 into training
for his meeting with Slavln.

Causes for rulneas.

II ever there was a year when gratitude
and praise were due to the Father of all
mercies for bountiful harveats and for al
the fruits Of the earth in their season, the
past year has been pre-sminent. Never be-
forc in the memory Of man have there been
more abundant haryests or suoh immen so
Yields of fruit. Indeed. these were SO great
in some parts of u land that they could
not all be gathered, and large quantities
were lost. The few exceptions, in looali-
ties where drought or some other causes re-
duoed the crops. were not sufficient to dl-
miniah the general su~perabundance. But
bountiful harvestH and material prosperity
are not the only blessings for which graft
tude is due to God. The blessings of civil
and religious liberty. the privileges of edu-
cation and citizenship and the manifold
advantages of this goodly land over all
others, should call forth devout gratitude
and praise from every heart to the God of
orr fathers who hath dealt bountifully with
us md preserved us from war, pestilence
and famine. 'Oh, that men would praise
the Lord for His goodness and His wonder
full works to the children of men!'-Lu-
theran Observer.

MONEY TO BACK SLAVIN.
An Australian Syndicate Said to BE Ready
to Put Up 500, 900.

An AustraI1an Syndicate Said to BE Ready
to Put Up 100000.
LONDON, Dec. 8.-Slavin and Mitchell left
for America On the Brittanic. Fully 1900
people went to EaSton to witness thor de-
parture. In an interview with the Herald
representative Slavin said he would reserve
all utterances until he landed in America
and that he would then 70 straight to the
Herald office and learn Just what Sullivan
wanted to do. The Australian iutimated
that be would concede almost everything
in order to get on a match with Sullivan.
but he was afraid it was a fruitless Journey,
SIavin says that March or April would suit
him best as a time for the fight, as he was
in no condition and would require some
months to train properly.
Mitchell Is determined to force a Gpht
with Jim Corbett, and says he will 20 as
far as San Francisco in order to arrange n
match. When asked how long he meant 10
remain III America, Mitchell said: That
all depends on circumstances. 1T they treat
US right we will remain four months, or
until We get a tight out of Sullivan and
Corbett or a back-down. Ii they do not
meet us in a business-like manner our stay
will be very brief, We are going across the
Atlantic on business and not on pleasure.
1t will probably be an expensive trip, but
we want to show Americans that we arc in
earnest"
Mitchell carries with him letters of credit
amounting to a big sum part of which is his
own, some of it belongs to Pony Moore, but
the bulk of it was furnished by an Austral-
ian syndicate headed by George Plesse, who
Is prepared to back Slavin for 800, 900.

A OF LIFE

The Seattle Telegraph is always
bright, always interesting, and occa-
~sionally tantalizing in the extre me.
Only the other day it contained a para
graph calculated to set on edge the cur
ioslty of the dullest intellect between
the Atlant1c and Pacific. A new mill
tary association, it asserted, had been
started, and the membership was to be
confined to those whose conductln battle
had never in any way been recognized.
Only this, and yet this paragraph marks
the inauguration of a movement that
should revolutionize all modern thought.
No mention of the place of it's birth, no
laudation of its founders, and yet the
idea is n SO purely socialistic that it
should cause the hair to start on the
head Of every member of the Chicago
police force. Only these few brief words
to mark the beginning Of a new era in
the worlds history. The Greek defeat
of the Persians, the rout of Hannibal,
the loss of the Armada, the landing of
Columbus, all sink into positive insig-
nificance when compared with this
declaration of new principles. 1t is the
very %apotheosis of mediocrity.
just think what it means. For CEN
turtles the laundering millions that COM
posed the bulk of this worlds humanity
have been most c%uriously blinded to
their own self-interest. With a per-
sistence that is positively pitiable in the
light Of this latest revelation, the slow
headed masses have Lesn enriching, ap-
plauding and worshipping the excep-
tons, and scorring, maltreating and
dispensing the rule, their own precious
solves. Did some one individual in a
place Of safety direct the endangerlng
OF thousands of his fellows lives? He
was a great leader and the world
had no treasures too rich and rare for
his acceptance. Had some other freak
the art of stringing his thoughts to-
esther in rhyme? Behold. he was q
poet, and the incense Of bright eyes was
waited to his presence in clouds for his
approval. Riches, honors, blessings have
been heaped upon these %curlosities of
human kind, and the great majority has
gone on toiling and moiling in the dust.
All this is forever an end. Variations
from the grand dead level will here
after meet with the sternest discourage
ment and the people will have it's own.
In the name of humanity we protest
against any attempt to narrow this great
movement to undistinguished military
men. It's benefits are too obvious, too
widespread. Let US have a grand soci-
ETY. of the universe for the encourage
ment of ordinary men. Its membership
will be practically unlimited, it's quallti-
tications will open to the world at large.
Lot Us have for it's coat of arms a sloth
%couchant, with the magic legend: In
this sign shalt thou conquer. Thus and
thus only will the curiosities of man
kind be relegated to their proper pos
ition of %obscurity, and the masses of the
population will secure for themselves
their rightful proportion of the loayes
and fishes.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 11.-James Weakley and
Joseph McNevin were arrested to-day for
tho theft recently from the depot Of a
trunk containing iewelry valued at $4,000
belonging to Peabody, Of New York. The
thieves appeared to be very dull and did
not profit by the theft. The detectives
learned that after they broke open the
t unk they had no idea of the value of the
contents and spent two or three days ca
rousing in the dives of the city bestowing
iewelry with lavish hands on all male and
female friends. They pursued this plan 50
diligently that the officers only recovered
$500 worth Of the stolen iewelry.
