We fully expect to have the opportu-
nifty of laying before our readers, some

Of the meeting between John l.. Snlll-

this wise:
when the bell tapped both men
scored evenly and got away, Mitchell
securing distinct lead, which he stead
lily increased.
Second round-Mitchell continues in
good form. At the end OF the seventh
mile he threw off his shoes, and after
that he travelled somewhat lighter and
freer. Sullivan appeared TO be losing
wind, but his friends think he may
overtake his com petitor in the woods
near the Alabama line along towards
morning.
Third round Sullivan has just made
a tremendous squirt OF six miles. Mitch

Fourth round-Mitchell has just
stubbed his toe on the projecting root
of cypress. First blood for Mitchell.
Fifth round-Slavih and Ryan, who
who have been acting as MitchelPs
seconds, fell off their bicycles near the
end Of the seventy-third mile COM
pletely exhausted. Mitchell apparently
as fresh as when he started, is forging
ahead. Sullivan is said to be laid up at
a farm house at Bayou CatOuche, under
the care OF chropodist.
"Later-The race has been awarded
to Mitchell, who is still running. Sui
Ivan is severely punished about the
feet, and may lose several toes" ETC.,

President Won der Abe tells how Capt.

a sky-scraping salary. Comiskey offered
his services to Won der Abe for So. 900.
Won der Abe said $1,000, and no con-
tract was signed. Then Comiskey ne
gotiated with John I. Brush, at Indian

TOILING MASSES.
ITEMS OF INTEREST TO LOCAL WAGE
WORKERS.
A Good Suggestion From Sisubsnvills Glass Nan.
Industrial Notes Cleaned in The Factories
in Wheeling and Vicinity.

There IS scarcely any change to re-
port this week in the local industrial
situation. The iron and glass interests
are exceedingly dull. The window glass
men report inquiries more numerous,
and with the building activity which is
expected TO prevail throughout the
country this summer, the outlook is
bright. Manufacturers hope, as an ex-
change puts il, for reaction, believing
the present depressed condition Of trade
to be the calm preceding butlnesS
storm.
The SteUbenville, O., correspondent
OF the COmmOner makes this sugges-
ton, which should meet with favor
among local glass workers;
/ would like 10 make a suggestion TO
the glass workers of the Ohio Valley.
Why not set a day aside and call II a
legal holiday, and all the glass workers
in the Ohio Valley and all adjoining
towns and cities who wish TO partlci-
pate on that day, and make il a gala
day in every respect 10 the glass work
ers ia general. What a grand street pa
Reant IL would make. For instance, take
the different trades displays and the dii-
ferent varieties Of articles that would be
displayed in such parade. II will no
doubt create an enthusiasm among the
different trades. This l do not mention
for the benefit Of any one individual,
but for all / would like 70 see a COM
mittee appointed from every local in the
Ohio Valley TO meet at Wheeling and
coma 70 some understanding and give il
a trial l would like 70 hear some Of
the other locals in the Valley and get
their views. II would be nothing like
the reunions that were such dismal
failures, and am sure that Steuben-
Vile will do her share TO making il a
success.

"I'm really sorry TO see Sullivan and

following In different sections OF the
country, and among certain classes OF

idol of Americans, and until he is de-
feated, no matter what he may do, John
l.. Sullivan will have the call. There's
no rubbing this fact out. On the other
hand jim Corbett has quite following

who admire the young Californian for
his gentlemanly ways and fine appear
ance. In New York City Corbett has q
large number OF friends among MEM
