II Is very probable that Dan A. stuart
will retire from the list OF pusiiisuc pio-

last June he has been in the business ana
his experiences have "been more numer-
Gus and varied than all OF his predeces-
sors combined The Fost's special CORE
spondent liz satisfied that Dan mas had
nearly enough.
Stuart is a good business man. Is
genius in certain lines and would be
leader in any camp. He is square man,
strictly on the level and hence 1t must be
disgusting TO him at times to do business
with many of the freaks and macers on
the outskirts OF the pugilistc camp. An
other thing he is modest and unobuusive,
| and the notoriety he has secured Is by no
means relished by him. He has become a
National figure in less than year, the
American congress has taken whack at
him and President Daz of the sister Re
public is said to regard Senior Stuart as
one of the great rovolutionists of the land
governed by his excellency, President
| Grover Cleveland.
