illustrated In the Corbett-Sullivan Fight
What the Gladiators Said.
New ORLEANS, Sept. s.-The dressing
rooms of the two pugilists after the
fight presented striking contrast that
fifty illustrated the fickleness of man
kind. When Sullivan entered the ring
at 0 o'clock he was received with an en-
thusiasm that he received as his just
due, while Corbett, though having
many friends, did not inspire general
confidence. Now all was different.
Corbett's dressing room was thronged
with men who wanted to shake him by
the hand, while poor Sullivan was more
an object of curiosity than sympathy.
The fallen gladiator lay back in his
chair, his eyes staring straight before
him, vacant and hopeless! Phil Casey,
his trainer, and Jack McAuliffe busted
themselves with the bruises on the ex-
champions face, while big Joe Lannon
stood by, his face full of sympathy.
Little was said in the room, to which
few were admitted. There were no
words of cheer for the vanquished. Any
attempt in this direction would have
been resented by the Boston man, who
knew as well as any OF those present
that his sun was set.
Outside the door the crowd was howl
ing itself hoarse for Corbett, but Sulli-
van gave no sign that he heard it, Old
friends of the ten-year champion sent
in their cards, but he refused to see
them.
II want to see no one" he said in his
deep, husky, bass voice,
He talked for time about the fight,
and remarked again, as he did at the
ring side, that the Californian was a
wonder.
''But he was younger than l." said
John, piteously, as he looked about
through his half-closed eyes.
"How did you feel during the fght?"
asked one of those present
II didn't feel blow that Corbett
gave me until the last one" replied
John, slowly, "then l seemed to be
floating pleasantly over the calm sur
face of a lake. knew that ought to
get away from the water, and Ttried
to, but was too wenk."

ELEVENTH ROUND.

Sullivan swung his right and turned
clear around, but in doing so caught
left in the face He led again, but
missed. Corbett landed with left in
stomach. Corbett feinted with his left,
but swung his right on face. He fol-
lowed with left in Johns stomach. Cor
bett again led from standing position
and landed full in Sullivan's face with
out counter. AS Sullivan pushed for
ward Corbett upper cut him in the
stomach. Another left in the stomach
made Sullivan vince. Corbett had all
the best of this round He had, in fact,
been struck but once clearly during the
fight thus far.
TWELFTH ROUND.
Corbett again opened it with left on
the stomach. Next he got home
swinging left-hander on the stomach
without return, He repeated the dose,
and again he had nothing to take away
Sullivan landed with his open hand on
Corbett's face, but got left on face in
return. Sullivan's guard was now down
very low to protect his stomach. Sulli-
van tried to rush, but could not catch
Corbett. He smiled tantaliz ingly, and
just managed to keep out of range. He
landed his left three times in succession
on Sullivan's face, and there was great
cheering for Corbett when the round
closed.
THIRrEENTH ROUND.
Sullivan landed an open-hander on
shoulder. There was long siege of
sparring, and Sullivan got out of range
of hot left-hand swing. Corbett put
left on Sullivan's face lightly the first
part of the round. Sullivan attempted
to come up, but Corbett put his left in
Sullivan's face and kept it there for a
full second. The great champion up
TO this time appeared as a novice in the
hands of the Californian. The latter
showed himself master of the art in
every motion, but his blows lacked
force.
FOURTEENTH ROUND.
Sullivan led, but Corbett by side
step was out of range and caught him
with a left-hand counter. Sullivan
landed an open-handed slap on Cor
belts face. The champion acted more
like he was sparring than fighting, and
all his leads were open ones at that.
Corbett's left again got home on the
mouth. Sullivan landed his left on the
neck. Corbett had not indulged in any
runaway tactics. He simply kept out
of range, and after the second round
did as much fighting as Sullivan, who
was on the defensive most of the time
FIFTEENTH ROUND.
Sullivan showed more spirit in this
round. He tried to rush, but didn't
reach. Every one of his blows fell
short and he received two rights in the
face in return. Then Corbett put his
left clean on Sullivan's stomach with
out a counter. Sullivan stepped up for
lead, but before his hand came for
ward Corbett lii in his face with left

A COOL HEAD.
Selr-Possession an Invaluable Quality In q
Mother.

Mother.
There is nothing that conduces to a
successful meeting of emergencies bet
ter than cool head with a feeling of
perfect confidence that everything is
going to come out all right. Whether
things are coming out all right" or
not, at least the feeling of qu ct self
control makes one better able to work
toward the good result. To mother
this self-possession is invaluable. In
large family small events calculated to
upset the domestic machinery are con-
stantly occurring 1t seems TO be law
of nature that children should continu-
ally have hair-breadth escapes, and
come within an inch of losing their
lives. But it is equally law of nature
that they should escape. And when
ever the critical moment arrives in her
own life, or in the life of another, it is
important for a woman to remember
that the very worst thing she can do at
that moment is to lose her head.
To do that means to be helpless in
stead of helpful, to be drag instead OF
an assistance. In an emergency one
should rather seem heartless than in
efficient. There are always ten people
ready to cry or faint or shed tears over
the sufferer where there is one who
stands coolly by and sees the way to
help him. Affection and sympathy are
often best proved by ignoring them,
particularly WREN the moment arrives
that calls for action and not tears.

Reported case on TraIn--The Victim
Dies Of ~ Chronic Disease.
CHICAGO, Sept 12.-At 1910 Saturday
morning four carloads of immigrants
arrived at the union depot from Gotten
burg, Sweden, by way of New York aud
Pittsburgh. The train came here with
a clean bill of health, but the authori-
ties believe that one Of the number who
died at 1880 o'clock was afflicted with
cholera.
Albertina Larsen, is years of age, was
in n semi-conscious condition when the
train pulled into the depot, and the
physicians at once ordered her sent to
100 Thirty-ffth street, where she was
to have stopped. On the way to the
home she relapsed into unconscious
ness, and DIR. Garrett, of the health de-
partme mt, sent her to the county hos
pital. She died on the way
The woman, it is claimed, showed
unmistakable symptoms of the dread
disease. She complained of pains in
the stomach, was continually gaping,
and the skin under her eyes showed a
marked blue discoloration. She was
first taken ill at Pittsburgh, where she
purchased medicine.
The health department officials have
thoroughly investigated the case of the
larsen girl, who died at the county
hospital. The autopsy disclosed that
she died of chronic disease from
which she had been suffering for a long
time. There was no indication of chol-
era whatever The party of emigrants
with whom the girl came to the city
have been released from quarantine
and have proceeded on their way west.

Boston, Mass, Sept 12.-In the yard
adjoining the Clark telescope manufac-
tory in Cambridge the large photo
graphic doublet to be used at the Har-
ward observatory was given it's initial
trial at photographing the stars. The
instrument was devoid of all it's regu-
lating machinery, but, considering the
fact that it was the first trial and
that there are yet some alterations
to be made, the experiments answered
the makers expectations. Two ex-
posures were made and the results were
satisfactory. The instrument is the
gift of Miss G. w. Brush, of New York,
to the Harvard observatory. 1t will be
set up at Cambridge and be fully tested,
after which it will eventually be sent to
Harvard observatory in Peru, where
the conditions for it's successful opera
tion are greater than in any place in

POST OFFICE AT QUARANTINE.
The Mail for Passengers Grows to Largo
Proportions.

QUARANTINE, S. l., Sept. 12.-Dr Jen-
lSins said Saturday morning that the
statement that he had refused assist
ance from the Marine hospital or any
other source in relieving the passengers
on the infected ships in the lower bay
was untrue. He was willing to receive
assistance from anyone and he
thought it likely in case the
Marine hospital service didn't vol
unfairly tender assistance that he
would be compelled to officially cal:
upon them for aid. The mail received
at quarantine during the past two
days, intended for passengers on the de-
tanned ships, has grown to such large
proportions that the deputy assis-
tants find themselves unable to
handle it. Saturday morning DIR. Jen-
kins requested Postmaster Vancott to
furnish a postal officer at quarantine.
The request was promptly granted and
a post office will be Immediately estab-
lished in the doctors residence

PIato's Hiccough Cure.

Who would look into Plato for a cure
of the hiccoughs? Yet Aristophanes, in
the Banquet" is thus instructed by
the physician; "If you hold your
breath for some time it will subsidc
If not, gargle your throat with water,
and if it still continue take something
To stimulate your nostrils and sneeze;
do this once on twice, and even though
it should be very violent Il will cease. +"
The comedian did so and soon said: u
wonder why the harmonious construc-
tion of our body should require such
noisy operations as sneeZ ne, for it
ceased the moment l sneezed." This is
Shelley's version, and, as the poet says;
What Plato wrote and Shelley overset
Cannot be wrong so nteziAs the thing.

NEW YORK, Sept 12.-John L. Sulli-
van got back from New Orleans Sunday,
accompanied by Charley johnson. The
ex-champion came through the Grand
Central station, ut Forty-second street,
with well-banged-up head, until just
as he reached the gates the crowd
of at least 800 that had assembled,
began to cheer him. John had not
known exactly how the New York
people would receive him, and this
little noise of reception made him smile.
A second later somebody proposed three

straight blow on the nose, which turned
on a big tap of blood. Corbett follow

loudly. Sullivan's face was smeared
with blood when the round closed.

Tho big fellow landed better after he
had been sponged in his corner. He

brash to take the lead. They both hd-

defensive, but Corbett landed on his
stomach Again Johns left and right

his left eye. Twice he put up his hand
to brush the blood away from his eyes.

s At no time during those twenty-one
rounds was Sullivan "in it." He was
out-cl&ssed at every point. Corbett in
deed proved a wonder. His generalship
surprises even his greatest admirers,
and his knowledge of ring tactics was
marvellous. Sullivan was knocked out
completely. He was beaten down with
heavy right and left blows, and for the
first time in his life knows what it is to
be defeated. Long after the ten seconds
were up he lay upon the sand in the
ring helpless. The sand itself was soak
ing with his blood, and he, the winner
of hundred battles, lay in his own
blood, terribly whipped man.
The ovation that Corbett received
when he was declared the winner was
something tremendous, and he walked
around the ring kissing and hugging
his friends. When Sullivan "came to"
he made speech in the center of the
ring, saying that he was glad America
got the championship, and that he had
fought once too often in the ring
The battle was really one-sided af-
fair. Throughout it all Corbett smiled
and was entirely ''at himself" Sulli-
van was not The ease with which
Corbett struck him when and where he
wanted set him wild.
E 1t was an inglorious defeat and is best
told in the following account of the
fight by rounds
FIRST ROUND.
At 9:O7 the giants shook hands. Sulli-
van led with his left and missed Cor
bett stopped another left. Sullivan
swung hard with his right and missed
again. Corbett danced around in
tantalizing manner. There were Kisses
from the crowd. Sullivan rushed Jim
to the rope, but did not land. Up to
this time Corbett had not led, and was
Kissed roundly for not doing SO. Sulli-
van rushed, swung his right, but fell
short. Sullivan's lips were clinched
together, and he looked savage. Cerbett
was all smiles; not single blow reached
him. Although John rushed him no
less than five times and led with his
left and right half q dozen times, he did
not touch the Californian Corbett did
not attempt to lead,
