John |, REDEEMS GOLD
BELT; rum GIVEN X. 0.
Former Ring Champion Pays Down
$500 on Famous Badge. Long
Since Missing"

Chicago. Ill. Oct. John L. Sullivan
appeared in Tom Donnelly's jewelry store.
North Dearborn street. today and laid
down $500 in cash to redeem the famous
championship diamond belt presented to
him by admiring friends in 1887. which
he had pawned for money to buy alcohol
twenty-three years ago.
Made by a firm of Boston jewellers In
1887, it was presented to Sullivan after a
long string of unbroken victories. The
champion regarded it as his most cher
ished possession until shortly after he
encountered Corbett in New Orleans in
1892. After that the belt adorned the wall
of any saloon for a while, where its $50
cut diamonds and IA ounds of gold served
to attract many a dollar into the. till
of the owner of the saloon. Then 1t dis
appeared from view for many years. 1t
was finally found in the possession OF
Donnelly, where it had been made secur-
ity for a loan Of $1,000. Donnelly figured
il was easily worth that, even II he had
to sell 1t.
'I don't know how long you will have
to keep it, Tom" was Sullivan,s remark
when he left it. but I'll get 1t back some
day."
Today Sullivan walked in.
where's the belt. Tom?'' was his first
question.
Right here" came the answer.
There will be no more booze. I have
licked John Barleycorn and he's going
to stay licked" said Sullivan. This is
the last of the big debts I contracted on
his account and am through" -.

Russia also suggested to Serbia that
concessions by her would be necessary

it should surrender territory to Bulgaria.
Bulgaria replied that she preferred TO

Doubtful, However. II Auetloneer's
"candor" interfered With the
Sale Of the Estate.

A certain London auctioneer, in ad
dition to a fine personal appearance
and splendid elocutionary talents, is
possessed OF considerable culture and
knowledge Of human nature.
At a book sale this gentleman would
read with exquisite taste passages
from the books he was selling. with
brief biographies and criticisms OF
their authors. reciting hexameteri
from Greek and Roman classics, and
rendering passages from humorous
writer's with a tone and air so lu
dicrous as to set the room in a roa'
OF laughter. Thus he often won higher
prices for books than those got at the
shops
An amusing example of his clever
ness in eNtolling an estate is the Ian
guage with which he once closed
highly-colored description OF the prop
erty he was selling For a few mo
ments he paused and then said;
