If the groundhog was able to dig through the ice and snow Saturday to take a squint at the weather there was not a thing to interfere with him seeing his shadow from sunup to sundown, as Old Sol shone brightly the entire day. This is certainly one time when we hope there is nothing in this old adage and that the six weeks more winter presaged by sunshine on groundhog day will fail to materialize. Former champion heavy-weight pugilist John L. Sullivan, who won a reputation through downing Paddy Ryan nearly forty years ago, died suddenly from heart disease at his home near Abington, Massachusetts, Saturday afternoon, aged fifty-nine years. Sullivan made over $2,000.000 in the ring and spent $1,000,000 of this in drink, both for himself and friends, and gave a great deal of money away. He quit booze in 1905 and it is said never took a drop since that time, but made a fight against its use in lectures in various places over the country, it is not believed that he left very much of an estate.
