Sullivan Defeats Burns.

Los Angeles, Gala, Oct. 1S.-After
twenty rounds of the fercest kind of
fighting, Jack Sullivan of Boston last
night was given the decision over
Tommy Burns of Detroit. Sullivan had
all the best of the fight, throughout,

ended, Sullivan had Burns all bat out,
and had nearly closed both of his oppo-
nents eyes and reduced his face to q
mass of bruised and bleeding flesh.
Sullivan was handicapped by weight,
weighing 1881 pounds, compared with
the younger mans 1894 pounds. In the
last Eve rounds Burns resorted to stalling
and holding in order to avoid 3 knock
out Sullivan bore no marks after the
battle. It was announced last night ar
rangements had been made to give the
winner of last nights contest a battle
with Jack O'Brien.

The SPIRIT of Iawlessness seems to be
on the increase all over the world
Chronic disorders exist in some places,
while they are sporadic in other quar-
ters. The proceedings in Philadelphia
Monday night show that the United
States is by no means immune. Phlla-
delphia, historic city of brotherly love,
was conyulsed by a mob which the po-
lice acknowledged they were unable to
handle, and excited men and women
marched to and fro heaping anathemas
upon the heads of certain men who had
incurred their political displeasure.
They surrounded the houses of those to
whom they desired to show their resent
ment and made significant threats. Such
exhibitions are disgrace to any COM
munity, apart from the dangerous ex-
ample set by thoughtless and irresponsible
people who feed upon excitement. With
no purpose to make excuses for those
VINO have fattened upon graft in Phila-
delphia and with an earnest sympathy
for the officials who are striving to bring
ab lut more honest and satisfactory con-
ditions, it may be observed that reform
movements should not be conducted by
mobs or disOrderly crusades against those
who are guilty of breaches of public
trust. The power of the ballot and the
courts can right all such evils much bet
ter and more satisfactorily than seethiDg
masses of men and women 10 nocturnal
exhibitions of their wrath.

Bear up Tree Three Days and Two
Nights.

Willamsport, Pa, Oct. 18.-Clarence
Kingler while coon huntingin the woods
near Trout run Saturday night freed
black. Though he built fire the re-
Election did not disclose Bruin in his
hiding place, so RiDgler camped at the
foot of the tree until dawn. Then he
remembered that there is a penalty
of $25 for shooting on Sunday. He
knew that if he were to leave the tree the
bear would come down and escape. He
could see the animal close against the
trunk of the tree, about thirty feet above
ground and he determined to have the
game. There was no other way than to re-
main on guard, and this he did until 6
O'Clock Monday morning, when, in the
gray dawn, he drew bead on the black
heap up in the tree and let drive. There
was a scratching and struggling for
minute and then the bear, badly wound
ed came tumbling down. A second shot
killed it. The bear weighed 287 pounds.

JuDGE WADDILL, of the U. :. Dis
trict Court, did the sensible thing IN
Richmond today, when he sustained the
motion of the Commonwealth to quash
the proceedings brought by two prisoners
in which they tried to bring in the ques'
ton of the constitutionality of the act OF
Congress retroceding Alexandria county
back to the State of Virginia. The very
idea of criminals, to save fine and to
prevent an imposition OF Jail sentence,
endeavoring to set aside an act of Con-
gress and to thereby have a whole county
put under the control of the District OF
Columbia, is too prepOsterOus to be serl-
ously considered.

at IL a. m. and reached here about II m.
A small crowd of townspeople gathered
around the train. The President came

My fellow citizens: am glad to see
the people of the Old Dominion, the
State halluwed with memories of the
mighty men it has produced androf the
mighty deeds it has seen enacted upon it.
/ know you people we'll already; | know
your history, OF course, or | would not be
a good American. | wish to say to you
with my heart how glad | am to have
the chance of starting through your
State to visit the South Atlantic and
Gulf When | am through with my
present trip | will have been into and
spoke in every State of the union during
my term as President. There is one thing
that has struck me, more than anything
else in my journeys from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, from the Canada line to the
gulf, and that is in meeting the different
audiences, they are iundamently alike ;
that wherever you go in this country the
average American is a decent fellow,
and that all that is necessary in order
to make him get along we'll with the
other average American is that they
should know one another" The Presi
dent in his speech paid tribute to Ran
doIph Macon College, and in doing so
referred TO Patrick Henry and Henry
Clay.
The crowd cheered as the train drew
out from the station.
Below Fredericksburg on little mound

looking neighborhood, where one ex-
pected to see none but red-shirted moon

there was a man all logged outin Prince
