fered many years from menstrual
irIegularity. and having been treht-
ed without benefit by various med

engaged in it exceedingly hilarious and in
various degrees of drunkenness He cannot recall

face Costello then became very weak. sat down
on the rckety stoop doorstep, and was taken with
q violent urethral hemorrhage. His friends con-
veyed him to Chambers Street Hospital, where one
the physicians attendance prescribed the usual
remedies. In the afternoon he recovered strength
sufficient to get out of bed and then expressed de-
sire to return home. He reached his house with
dculty, and it thought at first that it would be
necessary to send the ambulance for him again.
After few hours sleep he seemed to eel easier. He

and Slavin, who he says, struck him without giving
q moments warning. The latter gave his usual
haunt at the corner of Rector street wide berth
