"Why, you wont have a corporai's guard

oflnterest to Athletes.

James Robinson, the Athletic trainer
at Princeton College, Princeton, n. j.,
says:
81 have found it imperative to have
sure aud simple remedies at hand in
case of cuts, bruises, strains, sprains,
colds, rheumatism, etc. Shortly after
entering upon my profession, 1 discov-
cred such a remedy in ALLCOCK's PoB-
Gus PLAsTERs. 1 tried other plasters,
but found them too harsh and irrita-
ting. AILCocK's Porous PLAsTERs
give almost instantaneous relief, and
their strengthening power Is remark
able. In cases of weak back put two
plasters on the small OF the back and in
a short time you will be capable OF quite
severe exercise. In "sprint, and dis
lance" races and jumping the muscles
or tendons in the legs and feet some
times weaken. This can invariably be
relieved by cutting the plaster in mar
row strips, so as to give free motion,
and applying on muscles affected"

is sleeping vet, said honest Phil Casey as
he admitted an associated press cores
pondent TO Sullivan's quarters as late as
1880 o'clock this morning. Come In, "
added Casey. Sullivan lay outstretched
upon a bed near an open window IN one
corner.
He was breathing heavily. His face was
so swollen that the skin drawnstightly,
shone where the light fell upon it. The
lips were disfigured and distorted giving
10 the face a hideOusly fantastic appear
ance. The nose where COr0ett landed so
often and repeatedly is not broken but ter
riDlv bruised. The damage was cut
from above the bridge Of the nose down its
centor and on the left side.
As the ex.champion lay asleep he occa.
siOnally muttered as though dreaming, ana
quick, broken reSpiratonS Tor little would
interrupt the regularity OF MS breathing.
There be was-the man OF extreme conn
dence vesterday-to-day the beaten down
and disdgured evidence that new god mad
sprung up in pugilism.
Only Phil Casey and Sullivan's valet
were in the rooms. Johnson and Wakely,
Sullivan's hackers, were aoed yet Inc
room was Uttered and strewn with pugil-
istic training traps, with discarded cloth
ing. trunks, bags, scraps aud what not.
The appearance was that Of ruin and the
displaced champion as he lay seemed IN
keeping with the scene.
A benefit 70 Sullivan is being projected,
the design being TO have il in New York.
COrbett has heard of the project and has
offered 81 900 for box.
The sky, like Sullivan's fame, has today
become clouded 10 is the first sunless
day since the devOtees of pugilism bore
down upon the city. The exodus of the
talent from town has begun; that is, those
who are vet solvent are getting away.
There are many, however, who will be
forced 10 await financial recuperation.
Some indeed will be obliged to tramp the
railway ties.
The fact that there are not more OF the
financially reduced is owing to the absence
of Corbett money before the fight There
was only comparatively small wad OF 1t,
all told, and where there was q bit OF Cor
belts green stuff uncovered the Sullivan
men focked after il like chickens for kerr
mel of corn. There was not enough TO go
round and to-day there are hundreds of
Sullivan men who thank heaven there was
not. The Sullivan contingent take their
medicine like little men, however, and no
kicking is heard.
CorOett this morning was exuberantly
merry as kilograms innumerable came IN
upon him, all congratulating him upon his
victory.

The big duffer would not cone near me
before the fight, and don't want to
see him now"
Fitzsimmons afterward poked his
head over the top Of the door and called
TO Corbett, but Jim told him 10 get
down, that he would have nothing to
do with him. -,
The big Californian said that he did
not feel the least bit tired. and that he
had worked ten times harder every day
he trained for the fight.
81 nm satisfied that l could have
whipped him much sooner had l mixed
and gone into hard mitigating, but was
trine leary. Ga several occasions was
sorely tempted to close right in on him
and do him quick, but my seconds kept
at me 20 be a little cautious, that l was
doing we'll and having all the best Of it,
and l had better fight little shy of his
right hand"
When Mike Donovan entered the
room COrbett sprang TO his feet and
shook hands with him very cordially.
"Well, Mike, we got on top at last.
Mike, my boy, every word you said
about Sullivan was right. He fought
lust as yon said he would fight and l
followed your advice and here ! am
winner aud the champion. l scarcely
know how TO thank you and express
MY GRATITUDE TO YOU.
At this time messenger entered the
room aud informed Corbett that his
wife was on the other end OF the wire
and wanted TO talk TO him.
'Oh. can't 90 now" said the stall
wart jim. "Just give her my love and
tell her am all right, feeling well and
not hurt a Bit"
Turning TO Mike Donovan, he said:
81 could 20 out and do tenmile run
without becoming the least bit weary.
This fight was simply a walk-over and
the sOftest kind Of snap. The only
thing feel is little soreness in my
right hand from the last punch l gave
him. With that exception l would
never know that had been fighting"
JOHNSON WILL BACK HIM.
Word was received from Charley
Johnson, Sullivan's hacker, that he was
willing 10 back Corbett against Peter
Jackson or any man in the world for
$50, 600. Corbett says he is on top now
and can afford TO rest awhile and let
other fellows come 10 him; that his day
for begging at other mems doors has
gone by.
Corbett will leave for New York Fri
day morning on a decorated train, stop
ping over that night at Birmingham,
Ala, and at Atlanta, Ga, the following
night, arriving in New York on Monday
afternoon in time for his big boxing en-
tertainment at Madison Square Garden.

WASHINGTON, September S.-Represen'
tative Catchings, of Mississippi, has re-
turned TO Washington from Atlantic City:
He expressed the opinion, formulated
after talking with o number of leaders,
that the Democrats would not lose an cleo.
toral vote in the South, and said that he
did not think the Peoples party would
have as many members in the next House
as they have in this.
He is counting on Democratic majority
of forty or fifty in the next House He
said that he did not know what the situa-
ton was in New York, but that success
in that State would depend upon how much
in sympathy all branches of the party in
the State were. Speaking of President
Harrison's letter, he said it was very
adroit and well written, and showed Mr..
Harrison to be a very good politician. He
remarked that the President had thrown
the Force bill overheard, and that Mr..
Blaine had done the same thing in his let
ter, this being plain indication Of how
fearful the Republican leaders are of the
reactiye influence of too much Force bill

SUMMER LITERATURE.
Miserable Trash Written for Brainless

Miserable Trash Written for Brainless
Dudes and Dudines.
As usual at this time OF the year the
news-stands are crowded with stories Of
the midsummer variety. The summer
novel is peculiarly American institu-
ton, and one of which, as nation, we
need not be proud.
The literature concealed within the
hashy covers of the paperbound book
lets appeals neither to men nor women.
1t is evidently written by individuals
who are firmly convinced that the aver
age young man Of the period is dude
and his sister q firt That books Of
this kind find a ready sale while really
meritorious stories are fat failures,
from commercial point of view. is to
be regretted.
To certain extent American authors
are responsible for the depraved iterar
ry tastes Of the summer public. The
realists Of the Howells-Garland school
have flooded the book market with
works of a peculiarly depressing nature.
They sacrifice the beauties of life to the
shadows. Instead of tightening tho
burden of existence they add to the
load by impressing on the readers mind
a gloomy picture, calculated to spoil
days pleasure. A novel without sun
shine is not wholesome mental pabulum
for the dog days. In way the novelist
is an educator, but he is not called upon
to revolutionize the public taste in half
a dozen years.
Great reforms have gradual growth.
If some Of the progressive authors Of
our day would for time condescend to
view mankind as it is at-present consti-
tuted, and write novels partially in
keeping with existing social conditions,
they could benefit the public as well as
add to their fame. Dickens wrought
social and political reforms because his
writings were entertaining as we'll as
instructive. His pictures of Fleet street
prison, for instance, are quite as graphic
as those laid before the readers of lat
ter-day story-writers. At the same
time they are full Of humor and genuine
pathos. qualities which made them
powerful weapons in the hands Of re-
formers
Hitherto the better class Of American
authors has had very little to do with
the making of summer novels. The in
evitable result has been a deterioration
in literary taste and the substitution Of
trash for books teaching
morality, charity and true religion. The
public is ready, yea, anxious, to meet
the producers of good literature half
way. viii they, in return, be ready to
sacrifice few Of their notions for the
public's sake?-G. W. Weippiert, in Chi
cago Graphic.

Don't Check Perspiratioh.

1t is singular that although the fact
that perspiring is the only safeguard
provided by nature against sunstroke
has appeared in print hundreds and
thousands of times, people are still on
the lookout for something to check
perspiration, instead of increasing it,
during intense heat. Not day passes
but druggists have calls for something
TO check perspiration, and the explana-
ton that nothing can safely be used for
this purpose is accepted with very poor
grace by those to whom it is given. It
is dangerous TO even check perspiration
of the feet unless it is very excessive,
and even then the remedy is apt to be
worse than the disease. OF course this
only refers to perspiring during hot
weather; cold sweats are never failing
indication of intense weakness, and
ought to receive prompt medical atten-
tion.-Chicago Tribune.
