response except that he was glad to meet
them. All the members were individually

OSCAR WILDE.
With the withdrawal of Mr.. Egan, Father
Stanley appeared on the stage, and said he was
pleased to announce the presence with them
of son of one of Ireland's noblest daughters
of daughter who in the troublous times
of 1S4S by the works of
her pen and her noble ex-
annie did much to keep the fire of patriot
ism burning brightly in the hearts of Ireland's
sons. A son of that noble woman was present
in the person of Mr.. Oscar Wilde, who had
kindly consented to say few words on this
honpy occasion, and whom he had the pleasure
of introducing.
AS Father Shanly spoke Mr.. Wilde, who
had been sitting in the box to the right of the
stage, stepped upon the stage. He was dressed
in his too too raiment-that in which he de-
liyered his regular lecture the night before,
the cut away coat, velveteen waistcoat, velvet
knee breeches, black stockings and pumps,
one hand gloved in white kid, the
other bore lace handkerchief and hectic, and
the long straight brown hair hanging dowr
upon his shoulders. His appearance was
| greeted with generous demonstration OF ap
plause. Stepping well to the front of the
stage he acknowledged bis reception by &

TRANSATLANTIC HUMAN FLESH.

A Philadelphia Doctor who Puts Distiglred
Faces into Shape.
Transplanting human flesh has always
been considered . difficult operation; but
the success attending two remarkable opera
tons Of this kind recently performed by
& DR.. Richard j. Lewis at the Pennsylv
hospital has attracted the attention Of the
entire medical profe ssion. The subject
that received the severest cutting from the
surgeons knife is coal miner named John
Delaney, from the Lshigh Valley district,
who received terrible injuries about the
head and breast by the explosion Of can
Of blasting powder. Tho accident hap

had healed the man was horribly disfgured.
presenting o sickening appearance. 1 he:
head had grown SO far forward that his chin
had grown fast to his breast, while the
eyes were without lids. TWAS impossible
for him to shut his eyes, and food could be
taken with only the greatest difhculty. In
this condition life was a misery to tho un-
fortunate man, while his repulsive appear
ance was no less a source Of annoyance to
his friends In this condition he came to
the Pennsylvania hospital about fifteen
months ago, and was placed under the care
Of DR.. Lewis. The head was first brought
the plastic operation. The flesh that held
the chin down was cut, and to prevent this
new wound from drawing the Chin to its
former position it was covered by skin
turned mp from adjacent parts Of the
breast. The chin was held in position by
props and bandages, and within few weeks
time the pahent was ablesto hold his head
erect.
But the eyes were still q source Of great
annoyance to him. The upper and lower
lids were burned off, leaving the infamed
edges turned outward. The upper lids
were supplied BY flesh from a little finger
which it was necessary to amputate. The
application healed and in a short time De-
laney returned home greatly improved in
appearance. He was able to partially close
his eyes, but the under lids were still sore.
few weeks ago he again came to the hos
pital, and was supplied with new lids taken
from the flesh OF an arm. This appiica-
ton was no legy successful than those that
had preceded it, Nd in q short time the
man will be able to leave.
The second operation performed by DR..
Lewis was one requiring even more skill
than the preceding, altheugh the results
obtained were not as great. The patient in
this case was young woman, the corner Of
whose mouth and under lip were eaten
away by disease. The flesh was gone
even down to the jawbone. 10 heal this q
portion OF the upper lip was cus and turned
over, SO as to fill the place Of the part eaten
away. The wound is healing rapidly. and
in short time the mouth will be whole and
without Disagreement, only d slight scar
showing.

THAT'S JUST ME.

Years ago, into wholesale gro

man, evidently a fresh conner from
some back woods town in Maine. Ac

By this time every clerk in the
store had gathered around and was
waiting to join the laugh against the
man who threw the sack across his
shoulder with perfect ease, and car

to the wall, and hung it up, then

A WILD WOMAN.

The people who, some months
since, heard the terrible rumblings
of Bald Mountain, North Carolina,
are now on hunt for a wild crea.
ture of the woods She is said to
be shiny black negress, with long
hair and cleaning eyes. One night
last week a blacksmith tried to
catch her as she approached the fire
which had been kindIed to attract
her, and at which he sat watching.
She looked and talked so wildly that
at first he was demoralizod but
when he recovered, and attempted
to seize her she slipped through bis
hands and disappeared iu the woods.
Tuesday morning man chased her
across an open field, but was badly
hurt 10 his efforts to keep up with
her. He reported that she outran a
buck and cleared four corn rows at
leap. That same night she was
again en.iced from the woods by a
fire and chased by thirty men. A
man later in the day met her, her
face torn and bleeding, a long,
bloody knife in her hand,, naked,
unsarthly terrible. Next day large
number of farmers, mounted and on
foot, assembled for the purpose of
surrounding a swamp in which the
creature is known to be hid, At
frat was attempted to run her down
with bIoodhounds, but they refused
to chase her, which deepened the
feeling with which the
men, as well as the women, of the
community began to regard her.
The men then made the attempt to
catch her, but without success. The
excitement among the negroes and
simple country folk is intense. The
more intelligent say that the crea-
ture is some half wtted woman, who
has been so long hunted down that
she lives in fear of all human beings,
her necessities having forced her to
sat anything she can get.
