VALET As A WEAPON.
How Sullivan Thrashed His Manager
by Proxy.

From the New York Journal.
John L. Sullivan made a great hit at
Proctor's Pleasure Palace last week. Not
only were the spectators hypnotized by
the Bostonian's histriouic ability, but
Frank V. Dunn, manager of the candi-
date for the Hub mayoralty, was also hit
hard
In the case of the spectators, they were
metaphorically struck but the unfortu-
ma manager got 1t in the neck liter
ally.
Mr. Corbett was guilty of filing his 1885,
pound manager full of unkind uppercuts,
and Mr. Fitzsmmons is on record as hav-
ing riddled his coachman with solar plexus
punches. Mr. sullivan is several notches
ahead of his rivals in dramatic and social
ethics.
Last Friday night, at the close of the
regular performance at the Pleasure Pal
ace, Manager Dunn and Mr. Sullivan en-
gagged in a wordy dispute over financial
questions. Manager Dunn's remarks were
so caustic that the actor decided to ad-
minister physical chastsement. Mr.. Sui
Ivan. however refrained from an undig-
nified assault a la Queensberry, and thus
maintained his composure and elevated
the drama. He had at his command a
more effective means of demolishing his
manager. In MIR. SuIlivan's employ Is a
l20-pound youth named William Cowan,
who is known as the actors valet.
Cowan stood by while the elimination
and recrimination proceeded between ac-
tor and manager. In the most heated
part of the argument Mr.. Sullivan seized
his valet, raised him high in air and hurl-
ed him, human bomb, at Manager Dunn!
The valet struck Dunn amidships like
battering ram, and manager and valet
rolled on the stage floor like Graeco-Ro-
man wrestlers
Manager Dunn, GREATNESS and dusty,
regained his feet, glared fiercely at the
valet and ignoring Sullivan, shrieked:
"What do you mean by hitting me?"
He trun me-" responded the valet.
Dunn showed a tendency 10 lay violent
hands on the valet. when Sullivan yelled
TO the latter:
Now, you lick him, or I'll lick you"
The valet, thus commanded, had no all
tentative but to sail into Dunn, which he
did in cyclcnic fashion, administering a
severe beating to the manager. Sullivan,
who had not struck blow, had the sat
isfaction of seeing his obnoxious mana
ger soundly thrashed.
Therein lies a hint for Corbett and Fitz-
simmons, who should at once engage vail
cts to do their fighting
Sullivan left yesterday morning for Mon
treal to fill an engagement there. He said
this would be his last week under the
management of Dunn, and i'm future he
would be his own manager. Sullivan said
he was very much dissatisfied with the
financial arrangements made by Dunn,
and that the quarrel arose over that sub
jeCt. Dunn later on threatened to shoot
SulliVans head off, but the latter laughed
at the threat. Sullivan said he would re-
turn to Boston in time to make 1t ex-
tremely warm for Josiah Quincy.

Attorney PhaIen VIII Plead the
Cause of LuetEert To-day.
Chicago. Ill, Oct. 12.-Asslstant State
Attorney McEwen finished his argument
in the Luetgert trial to-day and will be
followed tomorrow by Attorney Phalen,
who will make the opening address for the
defense.
Mr.. McEwen took up the entire day
with his argument, and went over the case
carefully, connecting the details of the
evidence for the jury and showing how
one circumstance fitted into another, and
how the Whole mass of evidence SUBMIT
ed by the state furnished i'm his opinion, a
fun and complete circumstantial chain,
proving that Luetgert had murdered his
wife, in order that his relations with his
servant girl, Mary Siemmering, might re-
main undisturbed.
Throughout the entire argument Luet-
CERT listened to the speech of the attor-
ney who was asking for his life with the
greatest attention. He never took his eyes
off Mr.. McEwen for more than an instant
and the heavy scowl that is habitual with
him deepened as the assistant attorney
pointed out circumstance after circum-
stance that we ghed against his innocence.
It is now practically certain that all of
the arguments will be finished so that the
case will be given to the jury by Saturday

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
A dispatch from LAGRANGE Ind, telling
of the death of Mrs. Ida Bolley, wife of
a prominent farmer during fit of laugh
ter a day or two ago. is causing some
jolly people uneasiness. Is 1t dangerous
to laugh? they wonder, and picture to
themselves a scene where people never
tell jokes, never display wit, and never
laugh, and where everything Is as solemn
as funeral and fear that this might
be the state Of affairs in the future
X Courier-Journal reporter asked Dr. l.
n Bloom about the possible danger in
laughter
Yes" said he, zone can even die I'M
der the pleasant condition of laughter.
While Mrs. Bolley, whom You mentioned,
died laughing, she might have died under
other circumstances not so pleasant The
truth Is that many people have weakened
blood vessel walls without being aware
of II, For instance a disease will often
bring about ossificauon or cacihcation of
the arteries that causes them TO be quite
brittle. Consequently, unusual tension of
them is apt to cause rupture. That is
why 80 many cases of apopleXy-that Is,
rupture of blood vessels of the brain-take
place.
"Anger is the more dangerous form, ten
sion OF DlOOn vessels Delng greatly IN
creased by il. Unusual muscular strain
causes increased tension.
This case of rupture of the blood vessel
in Indiana was brought about by the in
creased tension, the result more or less
of immoderate laughter. OF course, blood
vessels We're diseased or 1t could not have

of the vascular walls has not been fav-
orite means of novelists and dramatists
to kill off this or that person necessary
to be disposed Of in the plot.
lone instance of death from the same
cause is indissoluby connected with the
history of our country. 1t is that of the
old bell ringer who died of joy when he
htard that the Americans had de-
cared their independence. Science divests
the death from anything glorious and robs
it of its poetic color. OF course, the old
bell ringer was apt to die during any ex-
element that caused a strain on the ten
sion of the blood vessels, but at the same
time it was a providential thing that It
was permitted him to die at that moment

patton, and, like thousands of others, have

HOW TO AVOID LIGHTING.
Some Valuable Advice ms to what "a

From the London Chronicle.
The other day gentleman who happen

by lightning Most people would have

have asked themselves, therefore, ia
| What should we do when caught In a
thunderstorm"
Campbell swinton says lightning is most
apt to strike projecting objects-for ex-
ample tree. On that principle you ought
to keep clear Of trees just as you would
keep clear of a hayrick Similarly, II YOU
are in a fiat space-take farmers field
you should make yourself as little an oh
jective as possible. If everything about is
level you yourself become the protective
point which may attract the lightning.
| Therefore, lie down fiat on the ground. or.
even better, get into hole.

/ Campbell Swnton continued, would be
absolutely safe, / should think Even il
! the lightning were to strike the ground

How many folks would care to crawl into
a hole or plunge into a cellar. You see. the

| that the average man would run it rather
| than disturb himself"
