shoremen round after round Sullivan's great right had lost its steam He landed often enough, but the knockout power was gone. Kilrain was the cleverer boxer and really outpointed the cham pon. WalSely kept urging John to fall heavily on Jake when they got to wrest- ling. Finally Sullivan in one of the falls fairly jumped on Kilrain and everybody but Jal1e's friends, who cried:
 .. Foul Foulr
 "The referee gave Sullivan a severe call, but refused to allow the most deib- crate foul l ever saw. Wakely turned to Muldoon with a laugh and said.
 " Is that the way you taught him to wrestle?
 Muldoon looked angry and told Wake ly that John wouldn't follow instructions. Along about the middle of the scrap Sul- livan became sick to his stomach. He had been drinking all kinds of stuff, but chiefly mixture of whisky and tea. He threw 1t off while Kilrain very kindly stepped back, saying:
 Give 1t up, John. I've got you!
 On to the End.
 "But Sullivan quickly recovered and told Jake to go on and fight As he ad- vanced John caught Kilrain swing ing blow and Jake went to the grass, more to avoid punishment and to tire out the big fellow than from the force of the blow. As Sullivan returned to his corner Charley Johnson said to him:
 "Aw. but you're a cagey fox. You threw up the tea and kept down the whisky
 "Everybody laughed at Johnston's sally. For that matter Johnston kept the crowd in good humor with his cracks and taunts which he threw in the direc- ton of Kilrain and Mitchell. It became only a question of endurance, and Sulli- van, being the stronger, seemed to stand the heat and mauling better than Kill rain, who soon became weak and ex hausted. When time was called in the 18th round Mitchell ran over to Sulivan's corner and said:
 |" John, we're willing to throw up the sponge if you will agree to give Jake a present.
 Johnston leaned over the ropes with fire in his eyes and cried out:
 "'No, not a cent! Let your man get up and fghtr Sullivan always got the credit of this declaration, but 1t was Johnston who said 1t and not the big fellow. Mike Donovan, knowing Kilrain was all in, threw up the sponge and Fitzpatrick, the referee, declared Sullivan the winner. There was a wild cheer, of course, and desperate rush for the trains on the side tracks.
 "In our train Charley Mitchell sat with a couple of friends in deep gloom. I

which the powers of the office could be stretched, under certain conditions, has never been determined the simple fact that this elasticity exists in practice was never clearer than 1t is today, and it can never be forgotten hereafter by those who observe intelligently the working of the institutions.
 In the past the presidency has had It's ups and downs, compared with the CO., ordinate branches of government, for there were the periods of dominating per sona1ity under Jefferson and Jackson, and the period of abasement for the exec utive under Johnson. Like urchins on a teeter- board, Congress and the President have faced each other, the one going up as the other goes down. and thus history has been made. What of the future? Are we ever again to see the presidency fall in the favor of the people, while the CO., ordinate branch assumes a larger meas ure of mastery and leadership? Prece- dent may say yes but precedent avails nothing without the support of events and conditions. The future of the presi- dency. in short. will depend upon the men. who occupy 1t. and the favor they may gain among the masses. Hitherto it has so happened that a Jefferson has been succeeded by a Madison a Jackson by a Van Buren, and Lincoln by a Johnson . there has been no succession of men in the presidency, through considerable period, each of whom was in his own pe- culiar way a genius in captivating the popular imagination and in gathering to himself that popular support which over awes Congress and smothers effective op- position. How fortunate the republic has been in this fact, from the constitutional point of view, will not be disputed by those who wish our system of govern ment to remain one of divided powers y,1f~- cession of popular heroes in the presiden- cy each in turn pressing his prerogative to their extreme limits. might easily rush the republic into a form of Caesarism.

 What One Man Spent.
 "When I figured up my ten days ex- penses they ran up as follows: Railroad fares, round trip, and state rooms, $178; hotel expenses. $65; extra meals, $27; wines, liquors and beer, $275; cigars, $30: touches and tips, s350 new Panama hat. $25; shirts. collars, socks, etc, $650; Tur- kish baths, with extras. s10; incidentals. SIP; suit of clothes, spoiled. $40; gave up for front ringside seat s25; gave up to lawyers at Nashville, s200; watch and chain, swiped at ringside, $l75; total, $141S50.
 "I got off cheap considering what 1t cost some other New Workers who made the trip Frank Stevenson dropped about s5000 Jimmy Wakely stayed down in New Orleans and buelxed the bank until he was about $10.000 loser. It cost Char ley Johnston about $o000 or even more. Of course, Wakely and Johnston won a lot on the fight, and I more than cleared expenses.
 Inspector Byrnes pinched Sullivan about three weeks after the mill and the big fellow had to go back to Mississippi to stand trial. They convicted John oi prize fighting and the sentence was l: months in the county jail. The case was appealed and John got off with s1o0( fine after a legal battle of over a year It actually cost Sullivan s1S,670 to get out of this trouble much more than he won on the whole bum prize fight.

Fresh Air Tablets.
From the Pathfinder.

From the Pathfinder
 In these modern days a food or medi- cine that cant be put up in a tablet is all most a back number. Even the air Is prepared in compressed form. A few days ago, when an apartment in Washington's s fashionable Connecticut avenue district became too warm and the hostess com plained of the stuffiness of the atmos- phere, her visitor, who was just back from Paris, handed her a brown tablet and told her to dissolve it in water. The tablet bubbled away at a great rate, and the hostess said she felt relieved; the stale air seemed to become pure and brac- ing; in fact, it was oxygenized. T bought these tablets in France, said the visitor. "They are the invention of the acetylene specialist. They are a combination of chemicals that in water give off oxygen

The Loving Cup.

The origin of the loving cup is to be found in Tartary. "On festive occasions" says E. R. Emerson in his Beverages, Past and Present." ''it is the practice of the people to gather at some predeter- mined spot, where lSoumiss by the hun dreds of skins is brought and placed in the open air. The men and women sit in a circle, and one of their number IS selected as cupbearer. The young women sing their national hymns and songs; no one rises, and the cup passes from hand to hand until all the beverage is con- sumed" Distilled koumiss is far strong CT than brandy.

FEDERAL COURT.

Attorney Alex Winston of coun-
sci for Paul Clein will meet with a
vigorous opposition from Prescott
ing Attorney Fred c. Pugh when he
goes to the higher courts asking
for the release of Clein on the
ground that the federal court has
sole jurisdiction over the military

The question of fact, in the
prosecutors opinion, will be a
stumbling block for council for
Clein. as the records of the case do

the theory that the murdered man
was killed where his body was

must be armed with positive and

GOOD OLD TOM O'TOOLE
WANTS CHANCE TO LIVE

Neat and clean, yet penniless
and almost disbeartened because
of dis declining years and inability
to get work. Tob o'Toole, once a
competent and good hearted fore
man of railroad construction, is
looking about the town for some
thing to do. Some of the police
men at the station knew Tom
years ago, when he was able and
prosperous and generous to work
men and to men without employ
ment. He is their guest a part
of the time while here.
The old foreman is too old to
work at the heavy labor common
to the constructio nof railways
and the section now and like
thousands of others of his early
calling, has found himself super
anuated when his best years are
gone. His face is clean and we'll
shaved and his whole appearance
from his neatly polished work
shoes up to the unpretetious straw
hat on his gray head, gives him a
pleasing appearance.

A knife blade had been broken

which the blade fitted was found a
half hour later by Detective Pear
SON in the saloon where Parker
had tried to hide. When Mrs.
Rhodes passed Parker at the po-
lice station she slapped him and

1t required Detectives Thomp-
son, McPhee and Lister and Officer
McCloud to round up the entire
bunch. The landlady is charged
with disorderly conduct but was
released on bond. All the others,
aside from Ada Schell, are in for
the same offense, and Ada is class
ed as vagrant. She is said to
have declared yesterday after a
quarrel with her husband that she
was going to have a time, too
and she had it.

GIRLS CHINESE MISSION ROUTED
Chicago Police Find Six Young Women
With Twenty of the
Orientals.

Chicago, June 2s.-Twenty Chinese
students grouped about six young
women teachers were routed by the
police Sunday from a mission meeting
conducted for several weeks in the
basement Of a south side apartment
building by three sisters.
The police were reused to action by
the complaints Of persons living near
the mission. The police Informed the
sisters after their raid that under the
building laws the basement could not
be used as a school and limited that it
might be well to close it up entirely.
The teachers refused TO do this and
moved the school upstairs into some
private rooms.
When the police entered the Chinese
broke for the doors and windows Only
six returned for the adjourned session
upstairs.
