From the New York Sun.
 John L. Sullivan, who went into bank ruptcy yesterday In the interest of the drama and Boston, celebrated his re- lease from debt by giving a little dinner last night in his old. friend Bill Ben- nett's place on Seventh avenue. It was foodless dinner.
 John L. wore to the party the $66 worth of clothes, which are all his assets, and which, fortunately, are exempt. The most prominent part of the assets was the pink shirt with two yawning holes in the bosom.
 T put me lamps away" said John last night when a friend playfully stuck the end of an umbrella through one of the holes in the shirt. How could be a bankrupt with me jewels on me?'
 Before John and hls three guests wound up the dinner the fighter made a little speech on creditors and other things.

MINISTER ooREA SAYS THE RE- PusLlcs OF CENTRAL AMERICA WILL ALWAYS BE FOUND TO. oETHER IN TROUBLE.


 Washington, December 6.-Conhrmation of the dispatch from Panama to the eff feet that Nicaragua had sent repre-. sentative to Salvador with proposal for a defensive alliance in which Colombia will demand an explanation of Nieara- gua's action in rendering active assistance to the Colombian revolutionists has not yet been received at the Nicaragua lega- ton in Washington.
 It was the understanding, however, of Minister corea, that Salvador had sent an envoy to Nicaragua and his mission Is not believed to have been in connec- ton with defensive alliance against Colombia. Regarding the attitude his government would assume in case for eign power should demand an explana- ton of it's policies. the minister said:
 "The. government of Nicaragua does not need to draw up treaties of alliance with the state of Central America between whom there is already a cordial under standing History has shown that when a foreign power attacks one of the re- publics of Central America, it attacks not one but all; and this Is a case where history may be depended upon to repeat itself"

Two Inaenuous MInIsters.

The Rev. pr. Parkin, in his address be- fore the Ministerial union at Witherspoon hall. told two good stories, says the Phil adelphia Telegraph. The first was of a young minister in the coal regions who had an impeachment in his speech. He tried many remedies, without avail till at last, after saving a goodly proportion of his salary by denying himself the com forts of life, he came to Philadelphia to be cured. because he had heard that there were so many speak easies" here.
 The other was a minister whose edu- cation in business matters had been sadly neglected. He had a small charge also, and eked out a living by writing for the papers. One day he received a check for $15. made payable to his order. He took 1t to the local bank and, handing it in, was told to indorse it. He hesitated a mo- ment. and then, taking up the precious document wrote on the back, 'I heartily indorse this check"

The Guess Editor promised last week to give the Age Herald's readers something out of the ordinary in the way of the rear view of a head. and he believes the above sus- tains his promise.

And even after his man was run down and corralled 1t was necessary to put him in stocks before a picture could be made. However he suc- ceeded in getting good one, and intends to run 1t every day this week, and to further show how vindicative he can be, the Age-Herald will run full front view of his head and face next Sunday.
