Philadelphia, July 27. - Clear eyed
and pink skinned and apparently i'm
proved in health by his experiment,
William ]. Sullivan arrived in this city
from New York, bringing with him an
appetite he had been accommodating for
thirty days.
Sullivan did not fiirt with starvation
as a means of gaining notoriety, but
in quest of renewed health. While he
was not entirely successful, he still
has faith in the fasting treatment and
said that next year he will try the
same cure for sixty days. The right
side of his body, including right arm
and right leg, are paralyzed, and it
was to try to regain the use of these
that he determined to fast
When his fast began he weighed 40
pounds, and today he weighed III
His face does not indicate his long
abstinence from anything except grape
juice and water. While he did not re
cover from paralysis, his nerves are
Quieter, and he said he feels "better
inside" than at any time since he had
the paralytic stroke.

of the Fox bill amending the third

planned of as a ripper" bill in Me
Keesport, said that he was surprised
that there should have been any mys
terry about the bill.
'The bill was drafted by commit
teen of third class city solicitors, nam
ed by the Third Glass City league OF
which McKeespOrt is a member. The
Mckeesport city solicitor was a mem
Der of the committee and | think at
tended the meeting" said Seitz.
"The bill had to be passed to MAKE
the laws conform to constitutional
amendments. The report that it Is
aimed at McKeesport is absurd II
was pointed out by various city solici
tors and by myself that it would affect
McKeesport differently from other
cities of the third class. l am at loss
to understand Speaker Cox, who says
the bill was aimed at Lancaster. Ian
caster is not a third class city, but is
under a special charter.
"The bill was passed by the efforts
of officials of number of cities, in
cluding Harrisburg, Chester, Bradford
and Easton. The whole object was to
obtain uniformity in terms. There
never was any secrecy about it. The
McKeesport people evidently did moi
watch what other cities did"

would be plenty of room for every body. The billiard room was cleared and used for dancing, as we'll as the dancing ball, and you could waltz or two.step from one room to the other, while the orchestra was seated over head on a temporary platform erected between the two rooms. The orchestra consisted of H. McIvor, conductor; w. Casey and J. Gillian, cornei; s. Boast, slide trombone; Mrs. Armstrong, piano; Profs. Kleinert and Norlin, violins; W. Hughes, clarinet, and J. Harris, drums The music was the best ever heard at dance in the Club, the selections being new and catchy. The supper, which was served at midnight in the Tread we'll boarding house under Inc super vision of Steward Fred Henson reflects great credit, for it certainly was the best ever given at any of the fire de- partment dances. The dining room and tables were decorated very tastily and showed that a great deal of time and care had been taken to make them look nice. The tables were loaded with all kinds of fruits in season, salads, cold meats and all the 6Xings that go with them. The decorations had to be seen to be appreciated, as it is im- possible to do them justice on paper. They were under the direction of Asst. Supt. Kennedy and his committee and consisted of evergreens and alder branches which covered the walls and ceilings and were interwoven with all the different species of wild flowers for which Douglas Island is noted. Banks of ferns were all around the walls and the stage was fitted up like fairy bower with ferns and eVergreens, and chairs were placed there for those who did not care to dance. Outside, the hall was completely covered with ever greens and ferns, and persons passing along the sidewalk would think they were out in the woods. Around the door were hung numerous lengths of new hose, and about dozen red lan- terms gave nice tint to the green background. Taken in all, they were the best decorations ever put up in Southeastern Alaska, and that is say ing a whole lot. The gowns worn by the ladies could not have been sur passed even in any city, for they were worn by the finest looking crowd of ladies in the United States. The tour ists from the Admiral Sampson arrived in Treadwell just in time to take in the dance and the company extended them an invitation, which was accepted by all. They claim that they had the time of their lives and were sorry when they were compelled to go to their boat. Several late ferries took the Juneau crowds home. The punch and lemon ade was looked after by those two famous mixologists, George Stephens and Alex Graham,
