an enthusiasm never before witnessed in the history OF
political parties The people feel that Mr. Blaine Is their

coily and followed By campaign with no real natural

Pistol Balls in His Brain,

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 21-Much to the
surprise of all the physicians at the city hos.
pital. old man Henry Kast who twice fired
S2-caliber pistol shots into his right temple is
still alive and retains his mental equilibrium,
notwithstanding the fact that three ounces
of lead are closely connected with
his brain and that both eyes
are forced from their sockets fully
two inches, and the eye-balls hang over his
cheeks like two soft-boied blood-puddings
During the forenoon the old nan left his cot
in the surgical ward and informed the nurse
hat he believed he would go home, and
reaching out, found his trousers and started
to put them on. Later in the day the
surgical staff stretched him ont on the
operating block and removed his eyes en-.
tirely. HIS head is unquestionably the most
hideous specimen of anatomy ever seen III
any hospital Kast is man of large frame,
his head naturally being very large with
probably two inches space between the brain
aud outer wells, and it Is thought that both
balls are in this space. symptoms of blood
poisoning, however. are appearing. and he
will probably die.
