Sullivan Knocked Out.
CURBETT WINS THE Bfti fRIZE
FIGHT IN THE TWENTY.
FIRST ROUND.
John l.. Sullivan, the Champion OF the
World, Is Knocked Out by ssGentIe-
man Jim" COrbett In the 2lst
Round-The Following IL
Pull Account of This
Round I'm Detail.

In regard to this trifiing minute
and half which decided the heavy
weight championship of the world a
great deal might be said. That the
contest would end in that round no
man present believed. Sullivan came
from his corner in the same shape
that he had shown for a dozen rounds
before. He had the same cross ex-
pressions on his face and seemed to
be as strong as any time during the
fight. He continued to do the "edg-
ing in" and Corbett followed his
original tactics of "edging away"
This sort of trade had not been going
on very long, not more than 10
seconds, when Corbett jumped back,
rushed forward, hit John on the nose
and John was dazed. Corbett went
at him further and the same old nose
was again smashed, and more blood
came out. John looked astoundeds
and Corbett jumped back with the
merry smile of a schoolboy with
big apple. Suddenly he returned to
the fray and before Sullivan knew
what was the meaning of the Cali
fornian's happy look he got crack
on the side of his head that made
him close his eyes. With this Cor
bett was on top of him in no time.
Left hand on one side of the head
and right hand on the other, and
poor John L. Sullivan was an un-
conscious, beaten man. He stagger-
ed about on his pins for second or
SO, and while displaying this fatal
weakness Corbett went down ON
him again as a crow lights on corn
where there is no dummy in the mid
die of the field. A right on the err
and a left on the jaw settled the busi-
ness and the championship. The last
blow sent the great John l.. Sullivan
to the floor with a thump, the Sec
ond time in all his long career as a
fighter that he had ever been knock
ed down. But he was down this
time for good. 1t was clean and
clever knock k-out blow. Sullivan
doubled up his legs as though in
pain, but in another instant seemed
to collect his senses and made an
effort to raise. He failed in that and
tried the second time, with the same
result. He was knocked out pure
and simple, and failing to respond
at the end of 10 seconds Referee
Duffy proclaimed Corbett champion
of America.
Sullivan's seconds had to come to
him and assist him to his corner.
Even then he was "out" and did
not know what was going on. 1t
was over two minutes before John
recovered himself. Meantime Cor
bett had returned to his corner on
the order of the referee, while the
man who has so long been known as
champion of champions was counted
out and carried to his chair. When
the 10 seconds were at last at an
end, Prof. Mike Donovan, of the
New York Athletic Club, and w. A.
Brady, Corbett's manager, sprang to
the stage and flung their arms around
a young man who was now cham
pion pugilist of the world and the
winner of $35,0OO in purse and
stake as well as reputation that
will turn, perhaps, ten times that
amount into his exchequer.

Judge NOrmile'S Suicide.


Col, R. w. Ingersoll in Globe Democrat.
Judge Normile died by his own
hand. Certainly he was not afraid
of his future. He was not appall-
ed by death. He died by his own
hand. Can anything be more pitt
ful-more terrible7 How can a
man in the flowing tide and noon
of life destroy himself? What
storms there must have been with
in the brain; what tempests must
have raved and wrecked; what
lightnings blinded and revealed ;
what hurrying clouds obscured and
hid the stars; what monstrous
shapes emerged from the gloom;
what darkness fell upon the day !;
what visions filled the night; how
the light failed; how paths were
lost; how highways disappeared;
how chasms yawned, until one
thought-the thought of death,
swift, compassionate and endless
became the insane monarch of the
mind.
Standing by the PROSTATE form
of one who thus found death, it is
far better to pity than to revile-
to kiss the clay than to curse the
man.

arms hanging almost limp by his
side and his mouth half open, he
was picture of misfortune. Surely
Sullivan's plight was enough to
draw sympathy from the sharers OF
his loss. 1t was a study of fallen
greatness. McAuliffe was sincere
in his sympathy and he tried to
comfort the champion. The Eastern
lad had won his own great fight and
his money was on Sullivan. But
McAuliffe is gambler and gulped

"In this list of necessaries of life there
is not an article which did not advance
In price during the agitation and after
the passage of the Mckinley act. THERE'S
not one, with the exception of cabbage,
whose highest price was not reached after
the enactment of the law. The average
price of these commodities in June, 1889,
was 100 49, The average OF the highest
prices was 1927. Tho average price in
September, 1891, was 101.S2. At one time
during the twenty-eight months, there
fore, after the passage of the Mckinley
law, the prices of these necessary articles
of food went up $20.94 on every 500
worth, and at the close of the period
these were still bringing $1.40 on every
500 above the prices charged before the
Fifty-frst congress assembled"
Exactly, Mr.. Warner, exactly. Prices
of farm products have ruled higher sine,
the Mckinley tariff passed. One of TIL
most gratifying results of the senate III
vestigation is that it places that very
point beyond question. With single
exception the things you enumerate are
those farmers sell--bread and -four of
course standing for wheat, and merely
rejecting the advance in wheat prices.
You will remember that you and your
fellows on The World were very sure
that the Mckinley tariff would depress
farm prices and impoverish farmers, and
you proclaimed it from almost every
crossroads in the country. Do you
really think you can now make votes for
free trade by deploring to the farmer the
fact that your own predictions were Ut
terly falsely exhibiting to him in tabu-
lar form the higher instead of the lower
prices he is receiving for everything he
has to sellH If you do think SO we are
