tho half of tho stako which tho backors
exact would go into tho champions'

training expenses, besides their outside bets
and their aharo of tho gato receipts. On this
subject Mr. Burt Miller, representing tho
' .porting element of Kochcstor. says i
"Why should fighters want 5,000 for a

Mr. Frank Stevenson takes oxception to
Mr. " Al" Smith's remarks uneut tho Ouriiey.
McAuliffo battle and tho othor spicy obser.
nt.om nmilo by I list cantloman to the writor
, of this column published in Friday's Even
ing Voni.n. Kovh Mr. Stevenson :
" When Mr. Smith makos the statement
tbat I bad one dollar watered on tho result of
tie tight ho utters u deliberate falsehood, and
when ho save I had my ' gong' thoro he doubly
falsifies. I loft this city with but two mon,
ono of whom was in tbo purso and tho other
wis a reporter. When I was asked to rcfereo
tno match by tho McAnlifTo peoplo I refused,
n I did not want anything to do with it; but
when ono of my bosom f rionds, n booker of
Carney, asked mo to do so as a luvor to him I
accepted the thankless uobition, ob I knew
that all ha wanted was fair play and tbat tbo
best man should win. lie did not attempt to
bribo mo, at Mr. ' Al ' Smith did at the ring
side, after tbo mon had fought nearly four
1 1 ours. Mr. Smith camo over to mo and de
clared I was the best referco he had ever
seen, and that he would see that I roforeed
all tbo contests at the New York Athletic
Club and llacquct 'Club of this city in the
futuro. I havo yet to learn that ho is tho
owner of thono olnhs or that thoy over agreed
to aeoept tbo man Mr. Smith selects as referee.
I refereed that fight in the fairest way, and
Mr. Smith knows I was perfectly impartial.
During the fight he camo oer and tried to
bribe me further to dooido tho match in
favor of Carnoy, by telling mo when I got
luck to New York I should co to Hell's and
get tho best suit of clothes and overcoat his
es'ablishment contained, and that he would
pay for them. I sent him about his business,
ulr. Smith further savs I robbed him out of
his money by not " declaring the fight in
Carnor1 favor. Jlr. Bmith had not a dollar
of his own up it was all that of
u prominent club man, rocoutly deceased. Ho
further soys I invited tho crowd to break up
tho fight. Tbat is a falxohood, and ho knows
it. Mr. Smith himself was tho first man to
break into tho ring. Friends of both prin.
finals drow revolvers and llonrisliod empty
wiuc-bottles, and I postponed ibo fight to
proveut murder being committed. I did not
declare it a draw, but I stated emphatically
and explicitly that the battlo must be fought
to a llnibh boforo tho stakes would be de.
liercd. Contrury to agreoment, my name
appeared in tho papers as rofereo. This was
ho unfair that I refused to roforco tho post
poned fight."
Tbero is a surprise, in store for somobody.
Tbo redoubtable John L. Sullivan is still
' ' on deck." His alleged infirmities do not
materialize worth a c!nt. He appears to he
in the finest physical condition, and tho
story about his neck having fallen away
greatly from its former Mze is untrue. His
t utire appparanco is that of thn well-seasoned
nthleto. John's figure is full, but not flabby.
As regards his stomach. J. Lawrcnco langUs
when questioned about it, and continues to
stow away bono and musclo-making material
in a way that ostonishoH tho waltors of tho
Vnudorbilt Hotel. John has not boeu indulg
ing in attar of whiskey to nearly such an ex.

of his to throw tho other pirtyoff the track.

on occasional dash of metropolis to vary tbo

A funny incident occurred during Hollar's

not intend returning to London. Next sea

Miss Thompson is still on tho road, doing a
largo business, though it is said that this con

Daly intends to do with Mrs. Annie Yeamans,
who would hardly look at homo among tho
bric-u-brao and drawing-room prettincssos
that play so important a part in Daly's

good authority flint Daly intends to present
ibo play of "Life," which ho producod at

And now comes the surprising pioco of

to-night. Miss Allistnu didn't liko the part
nt all as it was ongiunlly plnved, but insisted
upon being allowed to muko tbo enntnin's
wife an educated woman. "Tho idea of a
woman mixing in such good society at tbo
barracks being so common and vulgar," said
Miss All iston. " I wouldn't play such n port,
though I don't mind letting nor drop an ' h '
occasionally. So I'm going to play it my

" But the door is looked from tho inside

Harvey.
" Ilia It? Weli, that's a rum go." replied

'inces. A little shovo with your shoulder,
air, and it'll bust hopon at onre."
Harvey applied his shoulder to tho door,
nnd in a little while it gave way.
No souud came from the inner room aa tho
door swung hack. " Was Mausfleld there,
after all ? If to, was he alivo or dead ?" wore
the thouRhts that coursod tliroueh tho youug
man's mind aa bo entered tho room.
For Iiih answer he saw his friend lying on
the bed, still aud rigid as if in death. A cry
escaped his lips, which was taken up by the
housekeeper with vigor,
' ' Poor gentleman, 'e's dead, suro enough,"
sho said. " Only last night as hover was I
'eard the death-watch tick, I know as 'ow it
wasn't tlckin' for nothiuk, but I didn't think
it was meant for tho poor Colonel. No, that
I didn't," and the good woman wiped away a
tear with a corner of her apron, ' ' But only
fancy, sir, of 'ini a puttin' on 'is shroud be
foro dyin'."
She pointed to the motionless form of
Mansfield, which was covered with the long,
whito robo ho had worn while evoking the
Blavo of DArkness.
liy this time Harvey was by his friend's
bedside. He lifted the left arm ; it was stiff
as in death. Ho put his ear to his heart;
there was no sign of life Ho tried to lift the
eyelids, but thoy were sot fast. Vet the
young doctor did not believo his frlcn t to be
dead, 'llio.ro was all the outward npicarumo
of death, but, all tho same, tlio body looked
id oio liko that of ono in whom lifo whs
suspended than ono in whom lifo was extinct.
(Something seemed to toll him that his
friend, although absolutely insensible to all
around him, wan not actually dead, but in a
deep trance.
An ho was examining tho body his eves
alighted ou a nolo pnftied to the breast of the
long white robe
Hartey uufaateued It, and read its con
tents, which ran as follows;
I am not dead, but am merely sleeping. Do not
move me or disturb me in any war. The racket

ing the attempt on Miss Hardcaitle's life, an 91
extraordinary discovery was made. Jm'i
Hum Das, a young Hindoo, studying for iEJj
tbo bar, living at S23 Colville atreet, Bays- 9u
water, wan found dead in his room, under i&ij
ciroumstauccs which, according to the news- -St'
pauers, gao rise to tho gravest suspicions of fotv
foul ilay. jHg
The police wero most reticent about tha 3QH
matter, and tho landlady of the house whera Bf'
the young man lodged refused to ba inter- JK
viewed. g?J
Tho public had therefore to content them- m
with tho general surmises contained in the "W
newspapers; and the inquest was accordingly dn
awaited with great excitement, for somehow wu
or other it had got abroad tbat the death of VN
tho Hindoo was connected with the recent JHM
mysterious tragedies in fact, that a dagger, Mm
apparently tho one with which the previous mf,
murdors had been committed, was found MU
stuck through his heart. . I
Jleimuliilo tlio state of Col. Mansfield at- 3
traded cousldorahlo attention, and was tho B
subjoct of much discission in the press. tm
Home of the most eminent physiologists jjl
had isited Manstiold and, coutrary to tho Jt
sleeping man's express instructions, tried a M
nricty of oxtieriments upon him, but with. '3B
out arousing tho blightost sign of animation. ;9 1
'lhey wero ennineed that lifo was not ex- I
tinct, but not ono of the scientists had iu his Jj I
ex orienco c cr como across a ciibo of so deop m J
a trance. !s I
It was decided that Mansfield should re- 'ffl i
mam w here ho was, as it was feared that xfl I
removal might smip the slender thread 32
which I ound him to life. Dr. Harvey nn- M
dor took tho charge cf his friend, and had him & i
carefully looked after ; bnt from sunrise to 'Wt
sunset tho condiditpii of tho sleeper was pre- i w. I
ciscly tho samo, and the younz doctor jSH
watched iu vain for the slightest sign of re- Wn
turning vitality. iHil
In the old days such a subject would have MB
boeu burled alive. sum
All manner of contradictory rumors were imH
set afloat concerning Mansfield, some of v9l
which sought to counect him in some unao- ''jSt;
countable way with the dead Hindoo, .'MB'
