THE BIG "UN WORKING HARD The Stcry of John L. fullivan's Present Every Day Life. WHAT PCMPADOUR JIM WILL MEET Early Morni f0g, Rope Skipping, Hand tho Bath—The Cha splendid Fig, g Promenndes—Bag Panch- Ball au p in Assury Pank, N. Y., July 20.—There are probably few, if any, persons besides thoso that have really been through the mill thut realize how much solf-dental and bara work it takes to thoroughly prepare a man for a big prize fight. Sullivan is training to fight Corbett. e uninitiated read that much, and @ hazy vision of a man 1 loose fitting flunnels, living on the best of everything and trying to pass the hot summer days as cotn- fortably and as casily as possible floats through their minds. Traicing is looked upon by those who have not trained themselves or come 1n actual con- tact wivh o man preparing himself for a feat of strength and endurance as an casy, rollick- ing time ot a country or scasido resort. A fair sample of what a man out of training will and really has to do to fit himself for a great battlo is the daily routino work that Bullivan is doing, s0 as to be in good condi- tion when he meets Corbett for the heavy- weight championship of the world and $45,- 000 ut the Olympic club, New York, on Sep- tewber 7. Sullivan woeighed, when he began training, 243 pounds. He has been in training about 1wo weeks, and by sheer hard work he has reduced his weignt to 210} pounds, at which figure he tipped the beam yesterday. A large number of men—sporting mon and good juages of physical culture—were of the opinion that Sullivan could not tratu again. Ho had been living a life of indulgence and ease too long ever to bo able to gev into con- dition again, Sullivan himself always in- sisted that Le could train, and be cortainly knew what he was talking about—thau is, judgiog from tho shape the big fellow 1s in now. The training place selected by Charlie Johnston and Phil Casey for Sullivan is an 1deal one in many respects. The air at Bay Head, or Good Ground, as it is called by tne natives, 1s pure and braciug, Canoe Place inn, in which Sullivan and his trainers live, is within a stone's throw of Shinnocock bay and only a fow yurds from the Great Peconio bay. It is a delightful place to look at. The'inn itself nosties in a small valley and is surrounded by large elm trees that furnish abuudant shade. ‘I'ne ¢ooking at the inn 1s done by an old woman who brooks no interference. Neither tho pugilists nor the trainers aare growl at the way in which good raw muterial is spoled, 11 thie waitresses mako a complaint the cook, armed with a biliet of wood, set- tles the argument by cloaring all intruders out of the kitchen. 1f tho culiuary depart- ment was better it would be an 1deal piace o train in. Sullivan trains differently from most pugil- ists, He is not 1n love with the buruing heat of midday, and ulthough heat doesn’t seem to affect him, he does his most important road work early in the morni Yesterday ho got up at 5. As soon as he was awuko Lis trainers were made aware of 1ho fact. He began to sing snatches of songs in his powerful baritone voice, and had Ashtou, Morgan aud his Japaneso valet in a state of panic before he hud been awako five minutes, His first performance was to tuko dumb-bell excreises with very light dumb:, bells. Then be was rubbed wi h a dry towel and dresscd for thoroad. He wore a heavy sweater and coarse-knitted woolon tights and stockings ovor heavy underclothing, In addition to the underclotning hoe wora a plece of thick flannel over bis stomach. With a puir ot old walking snoes and a jaunty theck twecd cap on his sunburnt face, and . singing av the top of his voice, he started out to do the main_walk of the day withouc a Kuruclo of 1ood in his stomacb, Ashlon and lorgan, who wero with him, 100k the pre- caution ‘to have & good meal before they started. e left the house at a brisk pace and maao his way up tho Shinnecock hills, and walked until Southampton was in view, when he turned his head for home. He iucreased his paceas he neared the house. About two miles from home ho started to run, He kept Up 8 jog trotover the heavy saudy roads right ‘10 the door. Bigand teavy as Sullivan is he is an ex- tremely graceful runner. He runs straight a5 8 dart, and‘althoueh the road was rougn, ana in many places deep withsand, and was, in fact, about as trying a picce of iround to cover as one could well imagine, he moved along a smoothiy as if he were o a good pre- pared track, As 5000 a8 ho roached the house he was taken in churge by Casey, Ashton and Mor- gan, strippod and given a salt water shower bath., Then he was rubbea until he was thoroughly dry and placed between blankets for a few minutes. Another rub down and the champion, with face and skin as pink as a_buby’s, none tho worse for his ten-mile Jaunt, was oager for breakfast. Ho ate a hearty meal of broiled bluefish, steak and tonst, and a cup of iced tea, and Sullivan, as full of fun as a big boy, 88t ou the piazza, guyed his trainers and read the papers until 11 o’clock. Then he went to the gymnasium. Ho bezan by punching the bag. He worked hard and fast at this work for thirty minutes without any loi up. He stood up like a stone wall and fought the bag like he would a foo, He jabbed it with u straight left again and again, and when the bag beeame too familiar he swung his deadly right on it and darove it against the ceiling until it sounded like & discharge of a canvon, He scorned to move his head or duck from the ball and hit it whenever 1t came wilhin reach of him. Straight loft, an occasional left-iand upper- out, and swinging rignt-hand blows wero the only kind of puuching practice bhe in- dulged in. At the coaclusion of the thirty-minute round bo started iu Lo throw und catoch a bik leather bull, which is about the size of an ordinary football and weighs five and a balf pounds, He [;Ilchud und tossed this ball to Ashton until ho was tired, aud then wore Morgan out lu the same oxerzise. The ball he uses for strengthenivg his wrists, His aext worik was skipping the rone, It looked reslly comical to seo this giant among men tuke an ordinury ukln‘)hlu rutlu. coil the onds around his wrists, and skip 1k a chila, It w luy to begin with, but it became a grand foat of ondurance beforo ho inishod. Heo skipped the rope without a break or a faltor 251 times. By constuul practice he has reduced skipping to ascience. He skips easily and gracefully, and, hurd and tryiug ‘work that it is, he scems as if he could keep on 1ndefiuitely. This work completed the morning session in the gymnasium, As 800D us il was over ho put on an ndditional sweater and started for the batbing ground sbout o mile away on the Great Pecovic bay. The road was a rough one. It luy throuh flelas, orcnards and scrub pioe, and owing to tho deep loose sand on the path it was a trying mile to run. He then undressed and took & header into the water and sWwam out Lo s He stayod in the water about an nour. He was rubboed dow u after he came out, dressed an dry clowbing and then weat back to the house by boat through the caual, which will 000 connect Bninuecock and Pecouic bays. A hearty meal of roast mutton, potatoes and bread and some icod Lea was then consumed, ‘I'he champion then wont to the piazza, where he conirived to lay still for nearly balf an hour.” Then he went out on the luwn sod piaved base ball. He pitched ana batted fiies’ for upwards of un hour, aud only o pe«&an asked Lo do so by bil Casey. ully persous visited Canoo Place lun during sho afiernoon, the majority of whom came In yachts, There were dudes and dudelets, young women and old women, and entire famiiles, all eager to catch a glinpse of the only John L.

When he was thoroughly dry # lotion was applied to tho skin, This was well rubbed in and the heel which Sullivan injured when bie first went into tramning was dressed and then in dry clothing the cham- pion saunteroed back to the house. Sullivan, as stated, now weighs 2101¢ pounds. Ho intenas taking off ten moro pounds hetweon now and Septembor 7. His present condition is remarkably good. He has a slight cold which seewed to affect his breathing when he began work. His wind, however, 13 good. .

The live stock industry is oue of colossal magui- tude and bundreds of publications ore con- ducted in its ncorests, Those published in the west and south have many kind words for this market, and in almost each issuo are to bo found paragraphs like those that fol- low. The Las Vegns, N. M., Stock Grower says: “Omaha is growing remarkably fust as a cattie center. All the large packers have made oxteusive additions to their piants in tho last year, and further improvements the papers announce to be on tho tapis, It is ony of the best feeder markets in the coun- try. and is made so by the efforts of the offi- cers of Lhe yurds Lo securo the atteudanve of buyers aud furnish shippers with full and reliable information as Lo prosbocts for sales and arcauge pasture faciiivles, cte. The crops of Nebraska this year proutise to be the best of any section of the corn country, and assure a hoavy demand for desirable lots of feeders and stockers,"” 'he Texas Live Stock and Farm Journal is another publication that recognizes the superiority of this market. That paper in a recent issuo says: “‘W. R. Skinner, the hard working, affable representative of the South Omaha Union stock yards, is in Fort Worth, Mr. Skioner is doing some good effective work which will certainly bear fruit in season. The South Omana market is destined to be an important factor 1 tho future cattle trade ot Texas. Those who bave canners to market should remember that South Omuha wants 100,000." Tho Chicago stock journals recognize in South Omaha a formidable rival and are honest enough to confess it. The Daily Stockman pays the following compliment : ‘“‘Receipts at South Omaha from January 1to week epding Saturday, July 9, wore 354,000 cattle, 927,378 hogs and 89,847 ‘sneep As'compared with the corresponding timoe last vear, this shows u gain of 5,400 cattle, 4 togs and 17,07% sheep, This showing shiculd be extremely gratifying to our charm- ag neighbor in the west, and is proof con- clusive that she is doing her duty by her live stock 1dustry.” Tho nbove paragraphs are samples of those which appear in almost every stock journal in the country and show that the Omaha market is boing extensively adver- tised and in a very beneficial way. Affecting the Suloon Men, A majority of the suloonkeepers have banded together and will make every effort Possiblo to escape the paymont of the 200 occupation tax. A petition has been in cir- culation ana will be presented to the council at toniwht's sess The petitioners ask that the amount of the tax bo reduced from £200 to 0. Tho mem- bers of the council say they will simply lay the petition upon thetable and that the §200 tax goes. If the saloon men fail in having tho tax reduced they say thoy will carry tho matter into court” and believe they can knock out the tax on technical grounds. An Omahun attoruey has been circulating among them during the past week and he says that on technical grounds the courts will declare tho lovying of the tax illogal, An ordinauce has been drawn and will come before tonight’s council meeting, pro- viding that all saloons must close their aoors at midnight. That has beon the goneral hour of closing beretofore, but thero has been no ordiuance compelling thom to close at that time. It is aiso Suid, and by individuals who know, that if tho saloon men take a deter- mincd stand against paving the occupation tax, they will be compellcd to close their doors on Sunday, which will mean the loss ot-a very profitable day’s receipts.

TRAINED BANK RECEIVERS How the National Banking System Covld B Improved. MANY REASONS FOR QUICK WORK Some of Surrounding the Charge of an Insolvent Institution—Po- tical Iy Oceasionnily feres in the Investigntion, WasniNaroy, D. ., July 31,—[Spect Tite BEE |—“Wo shouald have a small corps of trained bavk receivers,” said ono of tho oldest and most skillfal ofticers in tho offico of the comptroller of the recently, in talking of the aifficulties surrounding the so- loction of receivers for broken Natioual banks. Tt was only tho otber day,” con- tinued the official, ‘‘thatwe had u taste of the troubies which surround the solection of @ recelver, when 1t camo to choose one for the Vincennes Naticnal in Indiana, How r, thero was less quibble over that appointment than any we have had for some time. 'Thet place pays but $2,000 a yeur, and the recelver is given a clerk or vookkeper at $600 a year. It will take pro- bavly two years to closs out tho affairs of the bank, and every politician in the state who was out of 4 job and desired a place at a couple of thousand and had a pull nere In Washington mado an effort to gov the ap- pointment. “There was a delay of nearly two weeks be- foro the appointment was made. It was nec- essary to get & mau of some experience in such work, a man of good judgment and one who would not bo influenced by private or other considerations, Of course, it is not tho policy of the dopurtment to seloct men for such places from the immediate locality in which the bank is located. Waell, a good man was finally found, but not til a dozen or more had been canvassed. But it was unfor- tunate that thero was delay over theselection of a receiver. Reasons for Quick Work. **The very momont a national bank is found to be insolvent it sbould go into the hands of a receiver, after the sharcholders show an indisposition to make good the losses of tho bank, and start out snew with unimoaired capitai, and [ will tell you why. ‘The moment it1s discovercd that thers will have to be an assessment of the stockholders in order to protect tho interest of its depositors the stockholders who aro not very strong finan- clally or careful of thew firancial credit begin to cast about to avoid tho assessment penalties, If their assoss ment 18 to be very heavy the, ave likel§ to put their real estate possessions out of their hands in order to avoid a procoss to compel them 10 meet their asscssments, It is therefore necessary, in order 1o protect all stockholders who wact to act honestly and all epositors whose interests should bo protected, that the true condition of a failed vank be known accurately and quickly when 1ts doors are closed. “Then the nssessments can be made carly 1f they are to be made at all. If we had a little corps of expert receivers in the ofiise here we could send one of them out to a bauk as s00n as the examiner reported the bank in a failed condition. All Woutd Be Protected. “The expert receiver could make a caroful examination and report, and if an assess- ment was necessary we could make it before there was any special public notice mude of the oank’s condition, and no opportunity would be afforded stockholders to put their real estate or other property beyond tho rench of the law. This done, a receiver coutd be appointed, as now, and all 1terests would be best suvserved. “When the big National bank failures recently came in Philadeiphia and Boston, there was a regular tumble fight for tne ro- ceiverships, the politiciaus aud those per- sonally interested in the banks'assets taking a hand. There was ono crowd desiring the positions for the salary in them, and they offered political influence to support them in their efforts; and then there was anothor crowd in each ety who exerted political influence to control the receiver- ships for personal esds. Betwoen the two factions, both witn selfish motives in view, the matter of selecting receivers was deferred <o long that any dishonest stook- holder could have put beyond the reach of the Iaw 80y quantity of property. You know it is legul to transfer real ostate fram tho hands of a bank shareholder the day before the assassment 18 made, if no_notice 1s made of the assessment. Itis diferent from s se- curity mutter on a note or bond and there are not many orainary stocklolders who will not avail themselves “of the opportunity to avoid the effect of a heavy loss assessment. Could Easily Be Employed. ““Theso expert recelvers need not number over balf a dozen, and when nov ougaged in tuking tewporary control of broken banks they can be making examinations of banks in any part of the country. 1f I wore comp. troller of the currency 1 would uree this mat- Ler upon congress at once. “Another thing { would ask for, and that is larger force) ! examiners. And 1 would stop this thing of Laviug regular examina- tions by examinors appointed from the state where the examinetions are made. They are a farce. 1 would _shift the examiners about from one section to another, and have new men cach time, so far as possiole. At lenst, I would make the changes so frequent that the banker would never know who was comiug in upon him, or when, Do you know that tho national bank ing system is o matter of millions of doliurs of profit to the government every year, and yet we havo not more than balf “enough ex- aminors? There is no excuse for it, All of the revenuo from the banks should ba paid ot in protecting aepositors und stock- holders, if necessary. ‘I'hero should boa re- vision 0f the procosses all uround. The system is nearly perfect, butcan be improved in execution,” FAIR APPROPRIATION, Will Bo Taken by Its Friends At Opponents Todny, Wasmxarox. D. C., July 31.—Thore has been no material chaugo in the awtituds of the respective sides in tho houso with regard to the World's fair appropriation, and when that body meets tlomorrow it in all probability will be with the state of affairs unchanged from what it'was when ad- journment was taisen on Saturday. Neitber sige has been doing very active work today, but each has contented itself with reviewing what has alroady been accomplished and discussing the prospect of an early termina- tion of the deadlock. Propositions for & Compromise, The membors of the house opposed 1o the appropriation have been discussing in an in formal way the sevoral propositions looking Lo » compromise of the difficulties that have already been suggested, aud it muy be that one of them will take formal shape before the pending controversy is much older, TPhese propositions include one postponing action on the appropriation until a fixed day in December, one making & loan of #5,000,000 to be regarded as a first lion on the receipts of the fair and al- lowing the fair management to provido sufi- cient bullion for tud coinage of an amount of money needed to completo all tho work in connection with tho fuir, But the advocates of the appropristion decline ot this time to look with favor on uny of theso propositions and will not” make wuy plédees concernine their future action other than to intimate very strongly that they will take the appropriation direct or noibing. They will not listen at this time 1o a proposi- tion 1o postpone action on the appropriation, insisting that the bouse hus already reccrded itself in favor of the appropriation. Thoy, thorofore, seo no reason why the matter should be delayed. Will Oppose Holman's Motion, In the house tomorrow Revresentative Hol- man will catl up bis joiut resolution Lo extend the appropriations carried by the sundry civil bill for the last fiscal year until August 1.
