OLD PRIZE RING IDOL
SAYS JEFFRIES WILL WIN
John l.. Sullivan, Just Back From
Europe Expresses Opinion.

New York June 3.-JOam l.. Sulli-
van has arrived home on the Gun
arder Mauritania, after six-weeks'
tour of England. He was accompa-
MED by Mrs. Sullivan, the trip abroad
being their honeymoon.
When asked what he thought about
the great fight soon to occur between
Jeffries and Johnson, Sullivan as
sumed a judicial expression and
replied:
I think Jeffries is making a mis-
take in surrounding himself with a
lot of old stiffs like Jim CorhaGt aud
Joe Choyinski. Jeffr:es~ is going to
meet one of the speediest chaps that
ever entered the ring, and the white
man ought to train with special ref
erence to speed He ought to get a
lot of active youngsters who can hit
up a pace that would make Jeffrics
hurry all the time. Men like Corbett
Choyinski and Armstrong have lost
their speed and working with them
will tend to slow the champion and
unfit him to meet a chap as fast as
this black is
with Jeffries in condition he VIII
whip Johnson. as with Jeffries OFT
of condition he may still win, but his
chances are about as strong as those
of a sparrow eating an elephant.
How do I feel? Great, boy. I am
forty years younger than before got
married
Il should say we did have a good
time. I was made quite a hero of IN
ireland, where I spent two weeks. Al
but that's Gods country my lads!
The rest of the time we spent junket-
ing about the continent"

hysterical women, screaming children
and panic-struck men fought their way

available to take them to the street

reach the exits on five flights of stairs
which led to the surface, increased
the panic. Fifteen persons were oy-

SfMINOIE LIMITED
Is TO STAY ON
That Is the Report That
Columbus Sends Out.

1t has been rumored for some time
that the fast, palatial train from the
West to Americas and points south
would be discontinued early in June.
The Columbus Ledger claims to have
reliable information that this is not 10
be the case. 1t says:
"A representative of the Ledger be-
gan an investigation this afternoon
to ascertain if there was anything to
the rumor and he soon learned that
there had been some little talk of the
train being discontinued the first of
June, but the idea had been abandon
ed and the train will remain in SER
vice probably throughout the year, and
certainly as long as the travel is as
heavy as it is at present.
The announcement that the Senim-
ole Limited is not to be discontinued
will be received with genuine salts
faction on the part of all for it is one
of the finest trains in the South and
the people along the route woulf
have regretted very much to have
seen it taken off The hope is en-
tertained that business with the train
will be SO good that the railroad Off
Gals win find it profitable to continue
the train.
Since the Seminole Limited was
put on last fall, it has done a good
business, and has proven to be a
great accommodation to the many
hundreds who have travelled on il,
and they would regret exceedingly to
see it discontinued. There are bat
few trains in the South that equal
it in point of beauty or in the conven-
fences that are maintained on the
train.
80 long as business is as good as
it is at present, the Seminole Limited
will stay on, is the information given
out today"
