STIRRING TIMES WITH JOHN I
Manager of Hii First Totir Eelates Some
Lively Beminisoenoes.
SCHEMES TO LAY OUT THE CHAMPION
Miners, Cowboys and Bad Men Failed
Land, bat John Barleycorn
Got There One Drink
Refused.
A group of sporting men sat around a
table In a New York cafe talking of light
ers who are now classed as hasbeens and
of those who now loom high on the pugil
istlo horizon. One of the group was Frank
Moran, who wai at one time John L, Sul
livan's manager. 1
Borne one remarked that John L. was
till up and doing, tor although he Is old
and fat, he Is said to have knocked out a
heavyweight In a weatern city a few weeks
ago. The mention of the ez-champlon's
name brought forth many reminiscence of
the fighter, and It was Moran who told the
but ones.
"Soon after Sullivan whipped Paddy
Ryan," said Moran, "Al Smith conceived
tho Idea of having him make a tour of this
country. That was In 183, when the big
fellow was In tiptop shape.
"Smith got a troupe together. There
were nine persons in the party Sullivan,
Fete McCoy, Steve Taylor, Mike Gillespie,
Herbert Blade, Mike Donovan, all boxers;
Al Smith, Jake Munzlnger, the treasurer
f the troupe, and myself.
"Smith went ahead of the show smooth
ing the way, while I stayed behind and
tuck to the big fellow and kept things
going smoothly. It was an eight months'
trip, and we made $110,000 outside of our
expenses, which were J44.00O.
"It :,was purely a boxing troupe, and
Bteve Taylor was Sullivan's sparring part
ner. Sullivan was o good then that we
went all over thla country offering 11,000 In
cash to any. man who would stay before
blm for four round.
"Many men tried to cop that money, but
none succeeded. During that tour Sullivan
knocked out thirty-nine men. Some of
them were husky ci it sens, too, for Rlohard
K. Fox was sore on Sullivan and left no
stone unturned to find a man who could
whip him. That he didn't succeed only
proves that Sullivan was the greatest
fighter this country or any other ever pro
duced. s
"Although we made a lot of money on
that tour, we certainly had aome worry
ing to keep us from getting It too easy.
Sullivan caused the worrying.
X Recalar Mlsup.
"He was then engaged In a cau-h-as-catch-can
fight with that celebrated cham
pion, John Barleycorn. Mix the last named
John with the first named, and you have a
combination that would keep a dozen angels
busy trying to avoid trouble.
"When we struck Butte, Mont., the miners
turned out in force to welcomo Sullivan.
The first night we played they were hang
ing to the rafters.
"We struck town early In the day and,
as usual, Sullivan spent his leisure time In
examining the Interior woodwork of the
city's barroom When it came timo for
tho show he was well soused.
"Nevertheless, we had adrertised that
there was $1,000 In cash for any man who
would stay four rounds with Sullivan, ,We
had to make good, even if Sullivan was a
little shaky on his feet.
"Well, a big strapping miner thought he
would like that money, and he let It be
known to his friends. They egged him on,
and when we got to the hall where the
show was to be held I found that the as
pirant after the thousand was a pretty fero
cious looking citizen.
"I was a little worried, for I knew the
shape Sullivan was in. I didn't care about
losing the money, but I knew If the big
fellow was knocked out by some unknown
his reputation would be dinged.
"I told Sullivan that I thought he was up
against It, but he only growled at me. I
had a couple of the boys work on him to
get him In as good shape as possible. Then
I went to the unknown's dressing room
and handed him his gloves.
"They were two and a half ounce gloves,
and you know what a wallop with one of
them means. The miner wore heavy cow
hide boots ii nd told me he would box in
them. He looked, so big that I went back
to Sullivan's room to try and throw a scare
lno tho big fellow.
" 'He's a big duck with a red shirt and red
beard and he looks as hard as nails,' I
said to him.
" 'Got a red beard, has her said Sulli
van. 'That'll stop the blood when I get St
him.'
" 'He' as big as you are, John,' said I.
" '8o much the better, roared the cham
pion. 'The bigger he Is the harder the
fan.'
"Will, they went on. Both men got a
great reception. Sullivan wabbled a bit,
and the miner hit him a clip oh the side of
the Jaw. Th'at woke the champion up. He
went at the unknown and In a minute that
red shlrted red whiskered miner was cov
ered with gore. Before the round was over
Sullivan put him out.
" 'What did I tell you?' said the cham
pion as he came back to the dressing room.
Maklnar Sara of the Money.
"We went through part of British Colum
bia, and when we struck Victoria we were
met by the mayor of the town, who aked
us If it was true that we were offering
$1,000 In real money to any mau whom Sul
llvun couldn't knock out In four rounds.
The muyor was nn Irishman and a little
bit of a fellow, 1 tuld htm 1 stood ready to
muke such an offer and he asked me to pro
duce the money.
"After I mad sure who he was I turned
over $1,000 to show that we meunt business.
They had a Frenchmun lit that town wlium
the natives thought was a great fighter, II
was a pretty good third rater, but of course
we didn't know that until after he had gone
up against the champion.
"The night of our show I found this
Frcnohman in his dressing room, being
rubbed from head to foot with fish oil. I
asked what that was for, and his handlers
told me that was being done so that Sulli
van's blows would slip off his body. An
other precaution they took against Sulli
van's fists was to wrap about ten yards of
red flannel around that Frenchman's stom
Bch. When he lined up before John L. he
was a funny looking sight, with his oily
body and his red flannel bandage.
"Sullivan was nbout In the same condition
as when he met the red whiskered miner in
Butte. When he' once got his bearings he
was nil right and he knocked the French
man down three times in the first round.
Tho last tlmethe Frenchman stayed down,
and in fact he was unconscious for twenty
minutes.
"When he came to he asked Sullivan to
speak to him.
" 'I break wood and fence with my fist,'
he said to John, 'but you break stone.'
" 'How's it feel to be knocked out?' asked
Sullivan.
" Th first punch I thought I saw on
French soldier,' wa the reply. Th last
punch I thought I saw a whole regiment.'
"Knocking out the local champion made
John L. many new admirers, but he didn't
keep them long.
One Drink Refused.
"Ned Hnrilon, the oarsman, happened to
o in town the next day. He was on his
way to Australia with George Lee. The
people In the town got up a banquet in
honor of Hunlon, and he Invited the mem
bers of Sullivan's party. No one went to
the banquet from our troupe but Sullivan
and Gillespie.
"There was plenty to drink there and
Sullivan didn't stint himself. At the end of
the dinner the toastmaster rapped for order
and called upon every one to rise and drink
to the health of the queen. Everybody got
up but Sullivan. Gillespie arose and Sulli
van tried to yank, klm baok In bis chair.
The toastmaster noticed that Sullivan
didn't get up, and he couldn't help but re
mark It.
" 'Who is the guest who refuses to rise
and drink the health of the queen?' de
manded th toastmaster.
" 'John I Sullivan,' bellowed th only
man sitting. 'To with th queen! Come
on Gillespie.'
"Sullivan was out of his seat In an in
stant and making for th door, dragging
the other fighter after him.- Of course
there wss a great hubbub over thla, but
we got out of town the next day and the
Incident never seemed to hurt our business
once w got out of British territory.
"We all felt badly over Sullivan's break
with the exception of John himself. We
hud been treated royally In Victoria snd
mmle niuoh of. We had even been Invited
uhoard a British man-of-war that was In
the harbor, and It seemed a mighty un
grateful thing for even . prise fighter
to do.
"Jinwevor, no on could tell Sullivan that
without danger of getting whipped. Sulli
van wouldn't listen to advice in those days.
If he had listened he would be a wealthy
man today.
Cowboys on the Trail.
"In several cities John came near getting
hurt and In one, Fort Worth, Tex., he
had to be hurried out of town during the
night. A party of drunken cowboys got
on his trail and they certainly would have
put an end to Sullivan If they had caught
him.
"Cock lighting was the principal sport in
Fort Worth then and a big main was pulled
off for our especial benefit. It took place
In the afternoon, and one of the men who
handled aome of the birds was an old chap
who certainly was popular with the cow
boys. I don't recall what the oUt man's
name was, even If I ever knew.
"It Sullivan knew the old chap's name
he forgot it. While the birds were st it
3ulllvan bellowed that ho would bet $50 on
the bird which the old man was handling,
and, not knowing his name, he called him
a name that was tabooed In Fort Worth.
Sullivan didn't mean anything by it, but
the cowboys got lighting mad.
"Nothing was said then, but after the
main the cowboys got together and decided
that one Of their friends bad been Insulted
by the champion pugilist. They talked
over the insult and then began to liquor
up. When they got a sufficient quantity
of booze aboard they concluded that they
would kill John L.
"It was night when they came to this
determination and set out to search lor
Sullivan. John L.'s friends learned their
Intentions, and the champion was half car
ried, half dragged away and bundled Into
a wagon and taken from the town.
"At Dallas, Tex., we had another ex
citing adventure. In many towns In which
we showed some big gun would try to
provoke Sullivan Into a tight when he wa
drunk in some barroom. This was done
so that the roan wno did the provoking
could get In a tew good punches at Sullivan
and then go out among the town's people
and play the part of the hero.
"One of the city officials of Dallas de
cided that his fortune would bo made if
he could whip Sullivan, and he laid plana
to do it. Th only trouble was that he
arranged to kill Sullivan if he should get
the worst of the fight in which he in
tended to engage th champion. This
fight was to take place in a barroom when
Sullivan wa about half loaded.
"Well, this official laid his plans carefully,
but I heard of his Intentions in time to pre
vent a fight. The scrap was almost due
when I appeared on th scene and took
John away in a Jiffy.
"Then I went to the man who was going
to get into a fight with him and told him
what I had heard. He admitted that he
wanted to whip Sullivan and said that
if he couldn't do it wlih his tlstH he was
going to do It with his gun. Ho seemed
aggrieved when deprived of the oppor
tunity. The man rattier surprised mo, for
he held an Important city olllee, one which
required him to preerve peace and order
instead of breaking It. as he firmly Intended
to do.
"Thoae are only a few Instances of the
time we had on that tour. They were
exciting times, but I wouldn't want to go
through them again. We all got back safe
and sound with the exception of the big
Australian, Slade. He waa the only de
serter from our ranks. He quit In Utah and
Joined the Mormons. I guess he is a Mor
mon still. "-New York Sun.
SOME TRAITS IN COMMON
Belief of Cowans and Alaska In
dian Similar A Significant
Discovery.
That the religious beliefs of the Alns
kan Indians and the native Coreans have
anything In common seems almost incredi
ble, and yet that is the assertion made on
the authority of Mr. Jack London, the nov
elist, who, when visiting Corea last year,
told Rev. Wade Koons, a missionary of the
Presbyterian board of foreign missions,
that in at least one particular the beliefs
were the same. The matter has been
brought up here by a letter Just received
from Corea by the Presbyterlun board, In
which Rev. Mr. Wade Koons tells of the
tangible evidence of the oonveralon of
Oorean natives to Christianity as follows:
"Sunday last a dozen of the men of a
village attended church in Pyeng Yang,
and when they went home they had a talk
together and decided they must believe.
To prove their genuineness they agreed
to destroy the 'Jueesls' In their homes.
You know how the Coreans reverence this
spirit, which Is propitiated from the day
the first timber Is set up for the building
and to whoue favor is due all domestic
prosperity.
"It Is devil worship pure and simple.
Mr, Jock London, when he was here last
year told me lie had an exact parallel to
this among the Alaskan Indians. At any
rate, they feur and worship the spirit
which lives In a dirty rag of paper nailed
to the roof beam of the house, and they
make It various offerings and gifts. So
the men yesterday made a pile of these
fetiches and tho objects connected with
them and publicly burned the whole busi
ness. I saw the ashes and was told the
pile of stuff was as high as a man's shoul
ders. I went out to visit the village and
learn about this movement. I visited
homes where the people had not been
ready to destroy their 'Jueesls' yester
day and had the pleasure of seeing them
thrown out and burned. We found, a cou
ple of places where the people had not
made a clean sweep. One man had re
served the roof 'Jueesi,' saying: 'It is only
a small thing; It won't make any differ
ence." But Deacon Choi, a native, said:
'A little thing! So Is an egg a little thing,
but the first thing you know It hatches to I
a chicken that may become a big fowl.
Tear the thing down and let's burn It.' j
And they tore It down and destroyed it."
The first self-supporting Protestant con
gregation in the Philippine iHlumls Is the
Presbyterian church at Hollo, which has
Just voted to elect church officers and to
tall a pantor. The church was started
In 1U00 as a mlnalon by the Presbyterian
hoard of foreign mlbslons, and there has
Just been completed for It a neat chapel
building, costing about $1,600, th gift of
the First Presbyterian church at Yonkers,
N. Y. There Is also to be built at Iloilo
a hospital to cost $S,000, most of the money
coming from the United States, but a large
part being contributed by the residents of
the Islands. Another phase of work In
the Philippines Is that among the Chinese,
who are spoken of as "the life of trade
in the Islands." There are about 1,000 Chi
nese in Iloilo and services have been con
ducted for them ever since the Presbyte
rian mission was started. Members of the
Chinese congregation have now subscribed
sufficient money to send one of their young
men to Amoy to study, so he may be
equipped as a preacher. There Is every
Indication that the Chinese church will
soon also be self supporting. St. Louis

MARCUS DALY'S COPPER STAKE
Friend Convinced by the Faith and
Coarasxe of the Famous
Copper Klsg,
When th outlook was trie blaokest and
this Indomitable captain of men had ex
hausted his resources and his credit, a
fortunate accident ' placed in his hands a
small but sufficient sum of money to trans
form inevitable defeat Into certain victory.
Lloyd Tevls, the California lawyer, and his
mining partner, J. B. Haggin, who had
been visiting their properties at Home
stake, stopped at Butte on their way
home to California to take a look at the
new camp. Marcus Daly knew Me.isrs.
Haggin and Tevls well, for he had worked
for them In the old California days. He
visited them at their hotel not the gor
geous palace of granite, marble, precious
onyx and mahogany which adorns Ilutte
today, but a humbler wooden structure
more In keeping with the squalid surround
ings of the new camp. In Haggln's bed
room, the only place available for a private
conversation, Daly made a clean breast
of it to his friends, and appealed to lhm
for aid, explaining his theory fully and
citing many additional facts which had
developed during his mining operations In
Anaconda that went to strengthen It.
It was thoroughly characteristic of the
man that he did not attempt to haggle
over the terms of the loan, hut stated
merely the facts and closed his negotia
tions with the words: "Now, gentlemen,
that Is a correct statement of the situation
of my affairs and the condition of my mine.
I must have $20,000, and I must have it
at once, to meet next Saturday's pay roll
and current bills and to provide for the
expenses of operation for another six
months or so. If I do not get it I am flat
broke and will have to close up. I have
told you what I have got, and what I
think, and what I think I am going to
get when thht shaft Is clown another J'O
feet or so. Make your terms, but let me
have the money."
They gave 1 1m the $J0,000, and, of course,
being astute business men, n contract was
drawn up and signed then and there trans
ferring to them the controlling Interest In
the property; but up to the date of his
death Mr. Lloyd Tevls always declared
that though h believed thoroughly in
Marcus Daly's integrity, both be and Mr.
Haggin thought that he was chawing a
chimera, that the theory upon the elabora
tion of which Marcus Daly had spent so
many sleepless nights and all his subtance
was fallacious and that no gold-copper ds
posit would ever be discovered In tS
bowels of Butte mountain. In fine, Haggin
and Tevls let Daly have $20,000 becausa
they liked him. They certainly never
dreamed that Anaconda would prove a
more veritable bonanza than tho Comstock
lode. As for Daly, he had never doubted
his ultimate success, and when three
months after that meeting in the hotel
bedroom the main shaft of Anaconda pene
trated, as he had always believed it would,
the richest and mnttt eytenutvA Mf,nnAk,'

"I should say It took about 600 strokes
of the razor to shave a man," a barber
said In answer to a man sprawled out in
a red plush chair.
"You are wrong," said th man. "To
shave me, going over my face twice, won't
take 260 strokes."
"How do you know?" asked the barber.
"For years," said the other, "I have had
the habit of counting the strokes of the
razor while being shaved. It Is a silly
habit, yet I can't get rid of It. You and I
will count the strokes together now."
The shaving proceeded In silence.
"Done," said tho barber at the end. "I
make it 210."
"That Is right, 210," the patron agreed.
"It always runs thereabouts. Once I got
a good shave In 106 strokes. Once I got a
bad one In 210. The average Is about 210."
