DOZEN WHIPS SULLIVAN.

New Britain, Dec 3.-After taking terrible beating, Dick Sullivan of Bristol was defeated by Jerry Dohen of New York before a private club Saturday night in nine rounds. When the gong sounded at the end of the ninth, Sullivan was on the floor, beaten man, and Patsy Dali ley, his chief second, seeing that he did not have chance with the minutes rest that was due him, threw up the sponge.
 In the fifth round Dohen put Sul- ly down with a left hook on the jaw. He worked hard to finish the job in the sixth but though he landed many times with both hands on the body and face, Sully was on his feet fight ing when the gong sounded. In the seventh and eighth rounds, Dohen simply made mark of Sullivan and the latter was in bad way.
 When the bell rang in the ninth Dohen continued banging away with both hands. After a minute and A half he put Sullivan to the floor with left to the wind. He got up at the count of nine but was barely able to defend himself. He was again put down by right to the jaw and was on the floor when the bell sounded.
 The fight was to have gone twenty rounds for a purse put up by local sports. It was pulled of down Der lin way.

In the selection of beauty types for this, the second season of Rufus Rastus," Hurtig and Seamon were i'm deed fortunate in securing such a varied assortment of colored stage divinities, the wide range of feminine singers and dancers embraces young ladies of creamy as we'll as ebony complexions, while not few are what is termed chocolate. all have however been chosen by virtues of their thorough fitness to support a colored comedian of Ernest Hogan's special standing as an entertainer of undlsputed talents. The male con- tingent is said to be likewise notable on account of the splendid array of wide awake performers. Rufus Rastus" will occupy the boards at Polls Thursday afternoon and even ing and 1t will then be judged in how far lavish expenditure amounts in the preparation of a musical farce extravaganza which at once proved itself worthy of the best amusement consideration. Prices are 25. 35, 50 and 75 cents; matinee 25 cents. Tel ephone 10S4. Seat sale Wednesday.

THE BEER THAT'S DRANK.
Americans Consume Lots of It Ac. cording to Internal Revenue Report.

Washington, D. C. Dec. 3,-A significant feature of the annual re- port of the commissioner of internal revenue, just made public is the con- tinued tendency of American people to make beer the national drink. The consumption of ardent spirits shows comparatively little increase, barely keeping pace with the in- crease in population.
 Internal revenue officials do not attempt to account for the great in- crease in beer except upon the the- ory that Americans are giving up strong drink and turning to the lighter because of its small alcohol fc contents. One official stated that the big corporations of the country object to their employes freely imbibing strong dring or any, thing that produces intoxication. The effect Is to turn men to beer, against which there is said to be little prejudice on the part of the employers of millions of men. There are several instances of manufactur- ing establishments having opened canteens where beer can be obtain- ed by their employees during leisure hours. the claim being made that this prevents loss of time in going out for drinks and conduces to con- tent.
 For the months of July. August and September of the present year the tax paid on beer was s1T,7Ss.- IA against s15.907.5f1 for the same months of last year. As the tax is sl per barrel for beer it is seen that the consumption for the three months noted has been I,s7s.- s03 barrels more than in the same period of last year. As each barrel contains 31 gallons of beer the in- crease means 57.23s.ss3 gallons more beer. The same ratio of in- crease was shown for the year end ed une %. 1906. The income from ardent spirits for the three months of this year was 51.335.0es against s2s.2ss. .s5s for the same monhs of the last year. an increase of s2.03s,- 5ss.
 The report shows a decrease in the number of retail Iicuor dealers for the quarter named. :he receipts from that source having been s. sl3.s17 against s,.st47S5. At the same tine tke nunter Of retail .l-alers h beer and ether malt drinks has largely increased the receipts from that soSrce having teen e1ss- 1s1 against sls..17s CTS year ago. it is stated that many establish ueuts for the sale of beer only are Icing pat out ia business without the anognt of objection frun fen- perznee enUm'ttees ss ia ths @<fzb- iknment of m}oons where ardent <r.,ts gre d1apss>f e a,oas with s<i>71

THE PUGILISTS TEX RICHARD
 IS IN EARNEST
Posts Ten Thousand Dollars For Cans and Nelson to Meet
 Again.

New York, Dec 3.-Tex Rickard of Goldfield, Nev, who Is now at the Imperial hotel, is in dead earnest when he says that he will bring about a return meeting between Joe Cans and Battling" Nelson, if such a thing is possible. To show his good faith he will de- posit to-day with the Morning Tele- graph $10,000 to guarantee purse of $30,000, which, he says, will be | ready for the little fighters whenever they have fulfilled the conditions of the match.
 Opinion is divided in Nevada" said Rickard yesterday, "as to whether Nelson fouled Cans or not, and the demand for return engage ment is virtually unanimous. The $30,000 will be ready for them and they may split it up to suit them selves.
 ''I personally am in favor of hav- ing the fight pulled off at Ely. which is a lively mining town in the cop per district where the Guggenheims are putting up an immense smelter. The citizens are wideawake and all the business men favor the scheme They have already subscribed enough money, or, at least, promised it, to make up the purse. If I suc- ceed in getting the boys to sign ar ticles I will build an arena capable of holding $100,000 gate and I have every confidence that the atten- dance will be greater than it was at Goldfield.
 "They are willing to fight, at least l think they are. I met Cans in Chi cago as I came east, and he assured me that he had no objection to hav- ing another go with the 'Battler' believe Nelson is just as eager to meet the black boy.
 "The best time for such meeting would be in April. and I hope to have everything in readiness by that time"

There is something of the irony of fate in the popular attitude toward Robert Mantell in the two roles in the which he will be seen here to- night and Tuesday night. "Othello" was the first of the great Shakes pearean characters he undertook as star, and the critics failed, or said they failed, to find 1t anything more than respectable.
