A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a very severe cold that caused him to be in a most miserable condition. I was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippé and recognizing it as dangerous he took immediate steps to bring about a speedy cure. From the advertisement of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the many good recommendations included therein, we concluded to make a first trial of the medicine. To say that it was satisfactory in its results, is putting it very mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and the result was a speedy and permanent cure. We have no hesitancy in recommending this excellent Cough Remedy to any one afflicted with a cough or cold in any form.—The Banner of Liberty, Libertytown, Maryland.

I take pleasure in announcing to the traveling public that this elegant vestibuled train will make its initial trip for the season of 1897-8 from Los Angles Tuesday, October 19th, at 2 p.m., and a semi-weekly service will be maintained until further notice on Tuesdays and Fridays of each week, via El Paso, the Texas and Pacific to Texarkana, St. Louis, Iron Mountain, and Southern to St. Louis and Chicago and Alton to Chicago; time from Los Angeles, 72 hours. This is the most magnificent train in America. It carries with it all the comforts desirable in traveling or at home, being equipped with palatial compartment cars. Ladies' parlor and ladies' maid. library and reading rooms, barber shops and bathrooms, smoker and dining-car, with courteous attendants throughout, and notwithstanding the unusual splendor and undisputed standard of excellence in passenger service, the ticket rates are no more than by any ordinary first-class train. Reaching St. Louis early in the morning, connection is made with prominent trains eastbound, and at Chicago with limited and other east and south-bound fast trains, via the different lines. I am prepared to furnish through tickets to any railway point in the United States, Canada or Mexico, and furnish information regarding travel to prospective purchasers, first or second-class. T. A. DARLING, Agt S. P. Co. A sensation has been sprung in the State of Sonora, Mex., by an ecclesiastical edict from Archbishop Lopez, the seat of which archepiscopal see is at the city of Hermosillo, the capital of the State, excommunicating all members of the Masonic fraternity. Nearly all of the high officials of the State and many of the prominent citizens are members of the Masonic order, and at the same time many of them are devout Catholics. The wives and feminine members of their family are also Catholics. The sweeping edict has spread consternation all over the State. What action will be taken by the gentlemen affected is not yet determined. One of the most prominent Masons expressed himself as determined to adhere to Masonry at all hazards. Indeed a Beauty. The Klondike gold miner held up a nugget which he had just found. It was as big as his fist. "Isn't that a beauty?" he asked. "The consensus of opinion was that the nugget was a beauty," indeed. "Yes, indeed," said one of the old hands after the others had expressed their admiration, "that nugget is easily worth it weight in corned beef." NEIM Weekly Gazette ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1897. LETTER FROM MEXICO. John Schauman Writes of his Trip in the South Land. A Cavalcade of High-Class Mexicans and Their Peons Escort the Americans to the Rancho Tintero, Which was the Party's Objective Point for Colonizing Purposes — Incidents of the Trip— Spencer and Mickle Attend a Bull Fight at Chihuahua—Bees Crossed With Lightning Bugs—John Sets Out In Search of New Land. CHIHUAHUA, Mex., Oct. 7, 1897. Messrs. Kuchel Bros., Editors of THE GAZETTE, Anaheim.—Gentlemen: Before leaving Anaheim I promised you that I would write, and as it may be of some interest to my intended colonists, all of whom are no doubt readers of your paper, I will now endeavor to comply with that promise. We, that is, F. Mickle, C. Spencer and myself, left Los Angeles on the morning of the 11th of September, and all went well until we reached a point east of Tucson, Ariz. Here we encountered a washout which detained us just twelve hours, though it seemed a great deal longer. Being detained when en route somewhere always seems dreary. Finally the break was repaired and we got through without further mishap. At El Paso we purchased our tickets for Chihuahua, and as it turned out afterwards we got through on the last regular train here. In passing Lake Laguna we met a train lying on its side, which had been wrecked only a day or two before, on account of the dangerous condition of the road caused by heavy rains. On inquiry we learned that the fireman had lost his life and some one else had been injured. Our train just crept along this locality, then loaded again. We had scarcely started when the large wagon bogged down again and we had again to unload. After awhile, however, we got out and reached the Hacienda Santa Clara in the afternoon. Here again a steer was killed to supply us with meat. Here we all took a jaunt on horseback around the immediate surroundings of the Hacienda. The next day we again pulled out and that night and the following we camped on the Santa Clara ranch. The next day we reached the El Tintero, the land we came to inspect. Here we camped two nights. We came to the conclusion that this land was not adapted to our purpose. It was too rolling in the first place, consisted of too coarse gravel and rather stony and not enough level land to accommodate a colony; besides it lies too high to ever get the water over it for irrigation purposes at any reasonable cost. Otherwise, for cattle, this is a good piece of property, plenty of feed and water. After two days' stay here we left in a northerly direction, hoping thereby to avoid bogging down again, which we did, the roads being better. We touched San Bonaventura on this day and camped in the mountains again. The following day we passed through San Lorenzo and here crossed the Rio Carmen and the following day camped at Laguna, about 16 miles north of the Hacienda Encinillas, where we camped the first night out. Here the next morning another one of the Miller brothers met us and we learned that trains had not left Chihuahua for the north since our departure, but that a train would leave that evening for El Paso, so Messrs. Mickle and Spencer determined to take that train instead of going on to Chihuahua, so as to avoid loss of time. I reached Chihuahua the next evening, having completed a tour of an even 400 miles, and on this trip I became convinced more than ever that farming will pay here, as I think also Spencer and Mickle have concluded. For information regarding prices of farm products, etc., see them.

It is intimated that rest will follow in a few days. At a meeting of the Pasadena council last week, Mr. and Mrs. Mill of the Mitchell hotel, formed this city made a protest against giving the trolley line leave to lay on Deptford State Library. She buys for cash, giving her customers the wiring goods or answering great deal longer. Being detained when on route somewhere always seems dreary. Finally the break was repaired and we got through without further mishap. At El Paso we purchased our tickets for Chihuahua, and as it turned out afterwards we got through on the last regular train here. In passing Lake Laguna we met a train lying on its side, which had been wrecked only a day or two before, on account of the dangerous condition of the road caused by heavy rains. On inquiry we learned that the fireman had lost his life and some one else had been injured. Our train just crept along this locality, a distance of 10 or 12 miles at least, but we passed it without mishap. On Tuesday morning, the 14th of September, we arrived at Chihuahua, our destination. Here we found upon going out the next morning to take in the city, the streets, parks and houses all decorated in grand style in preparation of the Fourth of July of this country. The people of this country are not behind us when it comes to celebrating their national birthday. They are liberal in expending money on fireworks, decorations, etc. For three nights they did it up brown—skyrockets, balloons, bombs of all kinds, the likes of which we never had seen before; skyrockets that would whistle from the time they left the ground until they exploded high up in the sky. Another kind of fireworks that I nor Mickel or Spencer had ever seen before I will describe: Imagine a pole set at Stern Bros.' store and another at Dickel's and a thin rope stretched from one to the other; then again imagine something like a skyrocket, except that it is twice as long, about twice as thick and painted at both ends like a rocket, with a sort of ring projecting in the middle of this. Through this ring the rope, which is stretched from one pole to the other, is put; then when this apparatus is lighted at Stern's it would go sailing down to Dickel's like a streak of lightning; stop there a moment and start back of its own accord again to Stern's, all the while emitting sparks like a rocket or a Roman candle, and a loud hiss. All I can say is, that it was the queerest thing I ever saw and my two companions thought the same. On account of these feast days and a rain which set in, we were detained here about a week. Finally Enrique Miller, Jr., who was to take us out to the land we came to look up, sent word for us to be in readiness at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, and at that time four turnouts halted at our hotel; a farm wagon, two spring wagons and a sort of gabrilet. Hitched to the farm wagon were eight mules, and each of the spring wagons had five and six mules apiece. After driving for a couple of hours and it got daylight we saw that we had a regular caravan. I counted 27 mules and a few horses, three or four mounted vaqueros whose business it was to drive the extra mules not in use, which were driven along to change from time to time. Notwithstanding the roads being rather heavy on account of the recent rains, we reached the Hacienda Enciillas, a distance of 52 miles north of Chihuahua, at sundown. At this Hacienda, which is Miller's property, and by the way, it only contains about 2,732,940 acres of land, we turned in for the night, but before doing so Mr. Miller asked us to accompany him to the orchard, or rather the remains of one. Here we found a variety of fruit trees, such as pears, apples, pomegranates, a couple of English walnut trees of enormous size, grapevines, nuts of all disguises. Here next morning another one of the Miller brothers met us and we learned that trains had not left Chihuahua for the north since our departure, but that a train would leave that evening for El Paso, so Messrs. Mickle and Spencer determined to take that train instead of going on to Chihuahua, so as to avoid loss of time. I reached Chihuahua the next evening, having completed a tour of an even 400 miles, and on this trip I became convinced more than ever that farming will pay here, as I think also Spencer and Mickle have concluded. For information regarding prices of farm products, etc., see them. One thing I want to say here at Chihuahua. Spencer and Mickle heard there was to be a bull light and were bound to see it. I tried to detain them but without avail. Ask them about bull fights. They can give you pointers now. One other thing I want to say. One of my intended colonists wanted me to be sure to inquire about honey bees. While laying around the hotel during the week we were detained I asked the hotel clerk what he knew about bees and as to the price of honey, and this was the information I received: That they never left an opportunity pass to buy honey and that honey brought from 12 to 25 cents per pound. He said, sizing me up, that a fellow by the name of S.G. Sample of El Socorro, in the State of Chihuahua, had 2000 hives of bees. The original bees did not work enough to suit him, so he set to work to improve them, which he did in this manner. He crossed them with the lightning bug, and the result surprised even this genius. He says that now they work night and day. They lose none of the honey making quality, but carry a supply of lightning along with them to discover the flowers by night, no matter how dark it is. This man I was further told lived near a river called Morris river. He also owned his own ship to transport his honey down the river to the coast. This river, my informant informed me, was large enough to float a shingle, and if I wanted further information to apply to the above given address. Say, did you ever know that I looked so much like a tenderfoot; I didn't. But joking aside, on this trip I saw more flowers than I ever saw in our mountains. I don't see why bees would not do well and very much so. Even without crossing them with lightning bugs. Now, if you will permit me to have a little more space I want to state to the parties interested in my colony proposition that, though the Pintero lands are not favorable, I certainly shall find some that will be. In fact, I am now in negotiation with a large banking institution for some lands and have made them an offer, which, if they accept (and I think they will), I shall have pick out of 100 square miles of land, with exclusive water rights, and they will assist me in getting a concession from the Government granting us the right for free entry of all we care to bring along. All of which will be of incalculable benefit to us. Therefore I want to advise them to wait about two or three weeks longer in the meantime I will know all about it and will have seen the lands in question. The best time of the year to come in here is the spring time—February, March and April. I am told by parties who know this land that it is of the finest kind. I shall write again after my return if my offer is accepted. This trip will take me through the Mormon settlements. I am told that they have made regular gardens out of locality. I will endeavor to take notes of things on the delivery post to collect mail ordinarily not have passed thru that city to its destination, which said to be Los Angeles, but would gone via Cheyenne and Salt Lake of the western inspection department are working vigorously on their service and was abstracted or away with. It is estimated that rest will follow in a few days. At a meeting of the Pasadena council last week, Mr. and Mrs. Ell of the Mitchell hotel, formerly this city, made a protest against the trolly line leave to lay on Dayton street, or the ground is being too narrow. Mr. Webster plied for the company saying that Mitchell raised a protest merely order to levy blackmail and that had been trying to make the company purchase peace by furnishing equipment for their son, giving them worth of securities, etc. The co-owner granted the franchise. When it comes to collecting mail for foreign missions, Rev. A. B.S., son of the Christian Alliance of York is without a peer. He stole American Theater before audience spellbound with relief pleading for the support of three dredged missionaries in the utter parts of the earth, and when their donation was in, he announced that had raised $78,000. Three male teachers gave $10,000 each, one $5000,and there were several pleases of $2500. A Jersey man constructed his farm,a New York park his library,a father his dead bank with $10 in it,a woman worshipping her diamond ring,six gold watches and one set of gold spoons. After a trial at Seattle Wash., ing two weeks, Rev.W.T.Ford convicted in the Superior Court Saturday of the crime of seducing Siureford,a fifteen-year-old boy who was formerly a member of household and church. When jury brought in their verdict Ford court attended by his wife, who acted somewhat of a sensation by crying out after the announcement of their证言，“No no no. He is not guilty know it.” Ford sat by her side face buried in his hands.Ford formerly pastor of the Madison-state Methodist Episcopal church in Seattle and was expelled from the ministry church last September,having tried by the State conference on some charge on which he was convicted in the State court. A sneak thief on the ferry boat went alight at Alameda narrow-gauge mine at 7:30 o'clock Saturday evening San Francisco secured a satchel longing to Guillermo Andrade de Tson,Ariz.,and is in possession of persons consisting of bills and bounty worth $10,000 to their owner.Andrade arrived in Oakland on Saturday route to San Francisco; he carried him a gripwhichhe thought left for a moment onthe boat.Heteredthe cabin onthe upper deckthe ferry boat,bathe few moments later left his seatto go below.He got his satchel.Hewoughtofthe mistakewhen he had reachedthe deck,andwent back hurriedlyonlyfindthe article missing.The policeand railroad officials were notified Andrade's loss as soon as he touched this side.The papers containedin the satchel areof value,drade claims onlyto himself.HewonhiswaytoSan Franciscotocloseouta business deal on Monday.

On June 10, 1897, Hall's Safe and Lock Works filed a complaint in the Superior Court at Santa Ana against Orange county, to recover judgment for the sum of $4000, with interest, alleged to be due for materials furnished in the construction of the county jail. The case was called for trial one day last week, and went against the county by default, District Attorney West not appearing to contest the case. Judge Noyes of Riverside, who tried the case, rendered judgment in favor of the plaintiff for $4087 and for costs of suit, as follows: "And it appearing to the Court that the allegations of the plaintiff's complaint are true, and that the defendant herein has regularly served with process and has appeared and demurred to the plaintiff's complaint, and the said denurrer has been overruled and the defendant given time to answer, and it further appearing that the defendant has made default and has not answered to the plaintiff's complaint, and that the default of the defendant for not answering as required by law has been regularly entered and has not been set aside. "And it further appearing to the court that the plaintiff is entitled to the judgment as prayed for in the complaint, and the court being fully advised in the premises, and fully understanding all the facts surrounding the same; "Wherefore, It is by the court ordered, adjudged and decreed that the plaintiff herein do have and recover of and from the defendant herein the sum of four thousand eighty-seven dollars." District Attorney West is being severely criticised for his carelessness in permitting such an important case to go against the county by default. Mrs. C. H. Whitman was among passengers aboard the steamer Topper bound north, sailing from Port Townsend the other day,Thanking her stars that she followed the old adaption of thinking twice before acting once. Two weeks ago, at San Jose, she prepared papers in an action for divorce against her husband, who had been sent sixteen months.On the morning Mrs. Whitman was to file the paper she received a sixteen-page letter from her missing spouse, announcing his presence in Dawson City as the owner one of the richest claims on Bonanza creek. Whitman ascribed his failure to write to the inconvenience of getting mail out,and to the fact that he wanted to improve every moment in digging gold. Whitman is now in June where he will spend the winter while his family preparatory to an earn start to the diggings in the spring. A suit has been brought by J. Marlon Brooks,Democratic politician against Congressman J. A.

Barlow admitted the genuineness of the letter written by him to Brooks containing reference to business opportunities offered by his election to Congress.In reply to a question regarding his idea of the business opportunities offered,他 stated that he referred an offer made him by interested parties in the case of Podio Boya vs.the Government.Here had been offered,his said,25 per cent if he recovered fromthe Government.Here had said he did not know it was illegal for a Congressman to go into such a deal until he reached Washington,thehaving previously been a member ofthe California Legislature.

A registered package containing $14, has been lost between Omaha and Francisco. The Denver postal authorities say that the package would normally not have passed through the city to its destination, which is to be Los Angeles, but would have been via Cheyenne and Salt Lake.

They say they have no knowledge regarding the fate of the captain. The passengers, soldiers and civilians, and the thirty members of the crew of the Triton. The missing passengers include several well-known merchants. The Spanish gunboat Maria Cristina and the tug Louisa have left for the scene of the wreck. The Triton had on board over 200 passengers, soldiers and civilians, and it is feared that they have all perished, in addition to the thirty men comprising the steamer's crew. Owing to the heavy sea that was running the gunboat Christina found it impossible to reach the scene of the disaster until Saturday night. Only the parser of the ship and one passenger were saved. Among those who are believed to be lost are two navy and two army officers, a commissionary official and seventy-seven privates. On board the Triton was $31,600 in silver to be used for the payment of the Spanish military and naval forces. The Triton, it is stated, was overloaded. She carried a large quantity of groceries and ammunition for the Spanish arms in Cuba. The directors of the Modesto irrigation district refused to fix the district tax levy, and the bondholders threaten to bring a mandamus suit to compel them to act. The board consists of but three members, as two have resigned, and their successors have not qualified. The board met last week, and a resolution to fix the tax levy at $184 was defeated.

Associate Justice Stephen J. Field on Thursday formally retired from the Supreme Court of the United States after thirty-four years of service in that tribunal. The correspondence between Justice Field and the President shows that his resignation was tendered some time ago. President McKinley, however, did not respond until October 9. While Justice Field's resignation does not take effect until December 1, he will not, it is understood, again sit in the Supreme Court. His colleagues of the Supreme Court called upon him and expressed their regret at his retirement, and extended their congratulations upon his long service as an Associate Justice—the longest on record. Field was appointed Justice by President Lincoln in 1863. The town of Lavin, Tenn., was the scene of warring factions a few nights ago, and one dead and probably four fatally wounded is the result. A large party of whitecaps went to the home of Dot Price, a negro, and riddled the door and windows of his cabin with bullets. The negro, through a window, fired repeatedly into the gang, and groans and yells testified to his deadly aim. The morning sun disclosed a horrible sight. William Sierras was lying dead, surrounded by four companions, dying from wounds. The bodies were soon spirited away, but it was learned that night three of the wounded men would die. Intense excitement prevails, and a race war is predicted, as the whitecaps are swearing vengeance on the negroes, who defiantly dare them to do their worst. Gen. Carlos Ezeta, ex-president of Salvador, was arrested in Oakland upon a bench warrant issued by Judge Clift and detained by an officer for some hours for having failed to respond a meeting of the Pasadena city last week, Mr. and Mrs. Mitchof the Mitchell hotel, formerly of City, made a protest against granting the trolley line leave to lay tracks on the street, or the ground of its big too narrow.

Gall was given a verdict for $20,000 Friday morning by the jury in the New York Supreme Court in his suit for $40,000 against the estate of his late uncle, Joseph Gall, who died in 1895. The latter was a wealthy and childless optician. In 1892 he sent to San Francisco for his nephew and offered to provide liberally for him if he would change his name from Funkenstein to Gall. The young man consented, and entered his uncle's employ. When Joseph Gall died, he left the bulk of his $150,000 to his nephew. This was contested by Amelia Stieb, who had been the servant of the elder Gall and claimed to be his widow under common law. She got the bulk of the money. The nephew sued for services rendered, but his complaint was dismissed. He appealed successfully, a new trial being ordered. The shipments of silver from the sub-treasury at Chicago to county banks in the central west has been for past four weeks greater than in the recollection of any of the employs. A half million dollars a week has been shipped on orders from banks and despite large shipments of new coins to the sub-treasury, the stock of silver in the vaults is $3,000,000, be ng $1,000,000 less than the average amount carried. The ordinary demand for silver coin has averaged $30,000 a day, but during the past month or more the shipments have been as large as $125,000. Assistant Treasurer Phelps attributed the demand to the big wheat crop in the western states and the previous lack of silver for the making of change. Effie Jones, colored, was convicted at Dallas, Tex., of the murder of Wiley E. Stewart, a prominent and influential Democrat of East Texas. Mr. Stewart was murdered on the 18th of May. Effie Jones crushed his head with a blow from a club. He confessed, saying that he had been hired to commit the crime by William Jones, because Stewart carried $10,000 life insurance in which Jones was interested. William Jones was a very prominent white Democrat. A few nights after the murder and confession, Stewart's friends broke into the jail and shot William Jones to death in his cell, sparing the black man to be dealt with by the law. It was the most sensational lynching Texas has ever had. Effie Jones, the condemned negro, still adheres to his confession. Torpedo boats of the United States navy will hereafter wear coats of bottle green hue. Chief Naval Construct- or Hichborn, under instructions from Secretary Long, has ordered the super-intending constructor at the Norfolk navy-yard to paint the vessels of the torpedo-boat flotilla now on their way to New York. "Bottle-green is a color that will aid torpedo-boats materially in deceiving an enemy," says Mr. Hichborn. "The torpedo-boat is designed to keep as close to the enemy as possible and then make a sudden dash and bullets. The negro, through a window, fired repeatedly into the gang, and groans and yells testified to his deadly aim. The morning sun disclosed a horrible sight.

Carlos Ezeta, ex-president of Salvador, was arrested in Oakland upon a bench warrant issued by Judge Clift and detained by an officer for some hours.for having failed to respond to a summons to appear before that dignitary for examination as to his ability to satisfy a judgment of $35. Ezeta was sued by his landlord for that amount, which was alleged to be due for house rent, but after judgment had been rendered against him managed to elude service. The plaintiff thereupon applied for an order compelling Ezeta to appear for examination as to his property, but after it was served upon him he tried to induce his physician to sign a certificate to the effect that he was unable to appear. Instead of so doing the physician interceded with the court in his behalf, but Judge Clift was obdure and issued a bench warrant for the offending debtor, who was brought into court while another case was in progress and was held in custody despite his protest until noon, when the court was at leisure. At Cheteco, in Curry county, Oregon, feud which had manifested itself in small quarrels for several months has broken out with fresh tury and two have narrowly escaped with their lines.

H. Whitman was among the officers aboard the steamer Topeka, north, sailing from Port Townsend, one other day, thanking her that she followed the old adage taking twice before acting once.

Torpedo boats of the United States navy will hereafter wear coats of bottle green hue. Chief Naval Constructor Hichborn, under instructions from Secretary Long, has ordered the superintending constructor at the Norfolk navy-yard to paint the vessels of the torpedo-boat flotilla now on their way to New York. "Bottle-green is a color that will aid torpedo-boats materially in deceiving an enemy," says Mr. Hichborn. "The torpedo-boat is designed to keep as close to the enemy as possible and then make a sudden dash and discharge her torpedo." The less visible she is, therefore, the better her chances for success. After exhaustive experiments made with the torpedo-boat Cushing it has been determined that bottle-green is the best color. The State Department has again directed the attention of the Government of Peru to the desirability of closing the long-pending case in which indemnity is asked for the imprisonment of Victor McCord, an American citizen, in Peru. The note is firm in tone and speaks of the patience which the United States has exercised in the many delays attending this case. No time is specified for the settlement. In response to this note the Peruvian Minister, Senor Eguigearen, delivered to the State Department a memorandum covering the question as viewed by the Peruvian authorities, and also expressing a desire to close the matter. As to the State Department's expression that the United States has exercised much patience on the subject, the Peruvian Minister pointed out that Peru had not been responsible for the delays, as the first claim was made in 1888, since which time there have been periods of months and in two cases several years, of inaction on the claim. Mr. Sherman's answer to the memorandum is awaited with interest. Silver editors who want something new with which to interest their readers are commended to a recent statement by the Director of the Mint, showing the per capita of gold and silver in the leading countries of the world in the present year and a comparison with the conditions in those countries in 1873, the year of the "crime" against silver. The United States had at that time 15 cents per capita in silver and now has $8 77 per capita. Belgium then had $2 88 per capita; now she has $8 71 per capita. Italy had then 86 cents per capita; now she has $1 35. The Netherlands had then $9 56 per capita; now she has $11 96. Austria-Hungary then had $1 11 per capita; now she has $2 76. Australia, $1 15 per capita; now $1 49. Sweden, then 98 cents; now $1. Norway, then 89 cents; now $1. Russia, then 23 cents; now 38 cents. The only last issue, but won another the following day. The successful suit was one wherein the water company had previously obtained judgment for $50,000 for material and services, and the San Diego council declined to satisfy the judgment on the ground that there were no funds on hand of the year in which the debt was contracted. The principal question involved was whether a former judgment should be satisfied out of the fiscal year in which the services sued for were performed. The court said: "We have no desire to disturb the principle that no indebtedness or liability incurred in any one year shall be paid out of the ordinary income or revenue of any future year. Upon further consideration of the case we have reached the conclusion that the water company should have an ordinary general judgment for whatever amount shall be found due it without any directions as to the revenues out of which the judgment shall be satisfied." John L. Sullivan, ex-champion puglist, actor and candidate for Mayor of Boston, was arrested in Princetown, R.I., for debt. He was playing a week's engagement there at the head of his company, and was surprised by the police one night last week just as he left the stage at the conclusion of his turn, when papers were served upon him by a deputy sheriff. The alleged debt was contracted in New York. John's friends held their breath when the arrest was made, and they feared he might lose control of himself and let the little sheriff have one of those big fists, but John L. did nothing of the sort. He took it calmly and immediately secured bail. Then, after some refreshments to drive away his load of care and troubles and thoughts of creditors, the big fellow grew playful and disported himself in characteristic fashion, to the intense delight of admiring throngs. The fighter celebrated his escape from custody in royal style, keeping open house and standing treat for all who came. Not satisfied with lavish hospitality within doors, where Sullivan had entertained everybody to their fill, he deliberately walked into the open street, which was thronged with people peering in at him, and standing bareheaded in the doorway threw handful after handful of silver in all directions, laughing moderately at the scrambling of the street urchins as they fought for the coin. This is but one of a number of recent lively episodes in Sullivan's career during his tour of the Eastern States.
