AT HIS OLD TRICKS.

SLUGGER SULLIVAN ON A BIG SPREE AT ssu JACKSONVILLE, FLA.
 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Feb. 22.-John L.. Sullivan played here last nightin IA True American,p and the box office receipts were about $1000 After the performance he took in the town and proceeded to cele- brate in the style peculiar to himself. His company was booked for Macon tonight, and should have left here at Il o'clock last night, but the Boston boy was having too good time and fatly refused to go, and sad he would go this morning.
 It was the same thing uver again when the early train left today, and John L.. spent the day taking in the different sa- looms in a carriage and making the streets lively generally. Members of his company this morning decided that they have had enough of the ex-slugger's continuous and damaging sprees, and are now hustling around trying to get back to New York at reduced rates.
 Bobby Mark, the comedian. stated today that this thing had been repeated all along the route, and that Sullivan has corralled the receipts and squandered them in riot ous living, leaving the company practically unpaid for the past six weeks. He says that they positively will not go further with him and will get to New York from this poinJ the best way they can.
 W. J. Wright of the Phenix Browning company, Pttsburg, Sullivan's packer, stated today that he will take John L. with hiEa to Cuba and afterwards to Spain, and next spring will reorganize the theatrical company in New York.

African Mahogany.

It seems likely that one of the most im- portant beneiius to civilization of Stan ley's African expedition will be the in troduction of African mahogany to vest ern commerce. There is even now O four ishing trade in this wood, which is sold more cheaply in the United States than it formerly was in Liverpool. Central Amer lea, Brazil and tho West Indies have hith- erto contributed the worlds chief supply of mahogany. It was ono of Sir Walter Raleigh's discoveries, and it first began to be used in making furniture toward the close of the seventeenth century.-St. Louis Post Dispatch

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY Observed at the National Capital
 Appropriately.
"0LD GL0RY' WAVED ALOFF
All Over the Ciiy-New York's Great Day-The Southern
 Society's Programme.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9. .-Washington' B birthday is being observed today us gener- ally and with ns much spirit as usual in this city. In the early hours there was a sharp, biting wind, making out-of-door exercises exceedingly unpopular.
 The city bore holiday appearance in the display of flags and bunting. Travel on the elevated and the surface roads was small and the streets down town were nearly deserted.
 The public buildings and the big office buildings were deserted, and very little business is going on down town.
 The display ot flags and bunting seemed greater than on any other previous Wash- ington's birthday. They hung from poles thrust from the windows, and in every di- rection the eye rested on a multitude of red stripes and blue fields waving in the breeze.
 "Old Glory" waived gloriously on the water. Crafts of all kinds carried one to three flags. Ferry boats, steam boats, steamships, tugs, lighters and scows all flew the emblem. Along the river front the display was general and iu effect beau tiful.

A Bad Condition.

In no section of the country is there greater need for Liver Medicines than in the South, and this has encouraged interruptions persons to take advan- tage of peoples misery and offer them all sorts of stuff as a cure-all for Liver troubles. Their preparations are sold to the druggists at low price. And the big profit to the druggist is the road by which they reach the public. Beware of any dealer who tells you that any Liver Medicine is just the same or as good as Simmons Liver Regulator. put up by J. H. Zeilin x Co. You know it by the Red Z on the package. These preparations are not the same nor as good. Stick to the Old Friend. ? I2 cod y

 Again. tho woman was in a street car, on her way to n church, where her father was taking part in some service, when she was startled with sense of impending danger to him.

 Two interesting features of this case were brought out by questions of the wise man. The bishop was not subject to fainting attaoks--in fact, his daughter did not believe that he had ever before fainted-and he had scarcely been ill day in his life, so that there was no reason founded on association or habitual dread why the daughter should have been struck with fear for her father.
 These arc the simple statements of the cases, given here as they were given by the bishops daughter, for what they are worth to those who are interested in psy- chological discussion and research.-New York Tribune
