BIGGEST MAN ON EARTH. Sullivan Draws Crowds After Him Such as Even Gladstone Cannot Attract. LONDON, Nov. 11. -- Sullivan has apparently taken the position of London ___ vacated by Buffalo Bill. He is ran after more than any royalty. Gladstone himself cannot draw such eager crowds. The Pall Mall Gazette, is speaking his reception , asks: "Is there a man in England---prince, statesman, peer, philosopher, preacher or artist---for whom 12,000 persons would care to crowd Easton station on one of the wettest and blackest afternoons in November for the mere chance of obtain a passing glance of his figure"

Paul Boynton Talks of Buffalo Bill. CHICAGO, Nov. 11--Capt. Paul Boyn-ton, of aquatic sport notoriety, who is at the Pacific, says that Buffalo Bill's offer to sell his Wild West show will hardly find a purchaser at $300,000. He thinks the cream of the excitement over the ex-hibition has been taken off so far as Eu-rope is concerned. Capt. Boynton said that only a few years ago Buffalo Bill didn't have a dollar he could call his own, and his show was about to disband in New Orleans, His fight for business with Carver had broken him all up, and Carver is now ruined financially.

London, Eng., Sept. 13, 1887.

One afternoon I went to an at home in a charing house by Hyde Park. London society lives in dingier, darker, less sky-bright places, along narrow streets whre the sun never goes; but out in this Hyde Park neighborhood some very charming people dwell. It was a typical London house, three stories high, drawing-rooms up stairs, steep stairs rushing down the hall and almost out at the front door, trim mald servants and small Buttons. The rooms were beautiful, with tea-green velvet ourpots, one solid color, with Liberty art hanging at the walls and windows and strange bronze cabinets and oriental curios everywhere, with settees of Japanese poroslain, enameled and jeweled, and soft waxlights fixed in anoient bronze lamps and caudlestioks; that might have lighted Cleopatra or Semiramis to bed. Strange pastilles had been burnded in shallow marble saucers, and the air was heavy with an odor like iucenso. I was dazed by the great people, and I have come to the conclusion it is easy to be great in London. I know it is when "The Cipper Queen" made Mmo. Murohesi-Gorgonzola great.
