CHICAGO. Feb. 17.-John L. Sullivan was
seen in his dressing room at Havlin's thea
ter and talked freely Of the coming fight
between Mitchell and Corbett.
81 think Mitchell lie in earnest this time !"
he said, land that the fight will be- n go.

names. BY what right does he require
Mitchell to put $4,000 in bulk in order to
get fght2 Less than year ago Corbett
secured match with me for the champion
ship and his first deposit was $1,000.
las to who should win the coming fight,
prefer not to express al opinion. | fought
both men and have fair idea Of their
ability. Corbett has the advantage of hight
and reach, but is no cleverer than Mitchell,
and the latter is a harder puncher. Many
seem TO thing that because Corbett punched
me out he is a hard hitter. Such is not the
case, however. In the last round of our
tight, after my arms had fallen helpless at
my side, it took at least ten punches from
him to knock me down and out.
Mitchell can do better than that, and
those who are figuring on 1t being a cinch
for Corbett will be badly fooled. The fight
will be long one lasting from twenty five
to forty rounds, probably more, as it will be
contested on the Jeb-and-get-away order.
w bile Mitchelps right is short he is 30
clever thay he will find a way to get past
Corbett's left hand.
81 received the following telegram from
the stakeholder to-day: In the event Of q
match between Corbett and Mitchell will

success, but don't care 60 act as his second.

81 was considerably amused at Corbett's
reasons for fighting jackson. He says that
the color line cannot be drawn. No, not by
him, surely, because he has fought negro.

Color PhotocranhY.

The art Of photographing color;
seems to be progressing in very en-
couraging manner. The color photo
graphs OF NJ. Lippmann, which cx'
cited SO much interest year or sc
ago, have recently been surpassed by
the achievements of NJ. Louis Lu.
miere. NJ. LumieEe, whose name in
English means 'light, has succeeded
in preparing gclatinobromide plates
which give, with an exposure of hall
an hour, a Photographic reproduc.
tion OF the natural colors of objects
An exhibition OF his work was
made before the committe of the
Photo Club OF Paris at their June
meeting, NJ. Lippmann being presen,
as the presiding officer. Photographs
were shown exhibiting in their nat.
ural hues boxes cOlored cloths, fans,
Japanese screens, flowers and land
Scapcs.
The landscape photographs aroused
the greatest interest The delicacy
OF tint, which they exhibited was
quite astonishing. All the shades
and gradat,Ons of color in the grass
and trees. the sky, the fields. and the
houses were reproduced with extTaor.
dlnary faithfulneSs and clearneSs,
The gain in time of exposure
achieved by NJ. Lumiere is In itself
great advance. Former methods
OF photographing colo have re-
CURED exposures OF not less than an
hour and half or two hours; but it is
hoped that the thirty minutes re-
quired by NJ. Lumiere's process W IL
room be greatly shortened.
The French are particularly inter
ssted in the progress which CO or
photography is making in their coun-
try. They call il the completion OF
the invention Of Daguerre. and are
eager TO see it brought to perfection
by their compatrlots. 1t does not
matter, however, whether it is a
Frenchman. German, an English
man Or an American who shall first
make color photogrG ply the common
property OF mankind; in any event he
will win the gratitude Of all natious

One ofthe First Families.

Several years ago there was an Old
family in ennsylvania named Roth.
Indeed the long line OF Eoths was
about all the family had to show by
way OF distinction, and so much did
they make Of the long branches of the
family tree and the Niagara OF blue
blood that had in centuries past
courSed through their veins that peo-
pie Of the more recent generations
really began to think these Roths
were OF some account.
One evening there happened to be
party in the little town OF M,
and, besides the great Roth family.
the guests numbered among others
young DR.. Sha-p. He was a popular
and rising physician, and considered
by match making mammas 4 particu-
larly desirable catch.
Mrs. Roth had four marriageable
daughters, so at the first favorable
opportunity she cornered the young
doctor and sought to impress upon
him the importance OF her wonderful
family.
why, DOCTOR" she said, 1--WE all
came over in the Mayfower; so !
know you Will not think me bold in
asserting that the ROths are really
one of the first families"
Pardon me-" replied the young
physician, "but have no hesitation
in saying that your family enjoys
even greater distinction.
80, DOCTOR" gushed the old lady,
giving herself a congratulatory hug
on her coming triumph Indeed,
you fiatter me-"
Not at all" he replied, "for 1
know you are the first family"
"Who tole you that, dear doctor?"
The Bible" he replied reverently,
"for it says the Lord was Roth. -

We are now informed that the

which take US from the ground floor
TO the top Of the house in q few Sec
onds is not a modern invention. say
a Brussels paper An ingenious
contrivance or a similar nature was
constructed in the middle Of the seven
teenth century, in Paris, by a man
named Velayer, who called his In
vention flying chair. Nelayer's lift
was not merely toy; it became very
fashionable among rich people on
account OF its utility. 1t was simply
a chair attached to rope, which was
passed over pulley--or something
which did duty for one-and had q
weight at its other end to counterbal-
ance the chair and the occupant 1t
continued in fashion until a mishap
occurred to the Kings daughter at
Versailles. On one occasion the ma
rhinery failed to work when she was
half way up, and there she stuck for
three good hours before she could lie
rescued by her servants, who had to
break away the wall to release her.
"Flying chairs" were not much used

The Clocks OF Paris.

are as innumerable as the pull balls
Of the "what's- O'clock" whose tiny
moons mingle with the gold star OF
the dandelions which intrude on

them all and, indeed OF all France,
is this great ornamental clock on the

date is 1870.
1t is best seen from the flower
market, on what the people call the
Little Island or lie de Ia Cite, re-
Gently described by Theodore Child
as "a sort of acropoliS or secret en-
closure devoted to great public monu-
ments"
Imagine yourself, then knee deep
among the flowers that crowd the
Quai to which they give their name.
One could forget time altogether in
such perfect surrounding of light
form and color, were it not for the
near and sonOrous striking of the
clock
Ever quarter of an hour this me-
mcntO mort strikes from the clock
tower of the Palais de Justice.
Surely but a hair divides beautiful
things from sad, yet the lell is an
unwelcome intrusion to happy
thoughts and the lazy content IL

as ii it were the Old clock at home

chimes, and slowly reluctantly, like
the guest turning from the wedding

mariner to hear what he has to say
