The Emperor Taking sumcient Nour- ishment Through a Tube.
 PoTsDAM, June 13-The fears entertained
 by the Emperor's physicians that inhamma- tion of the lungs would supervene are for the present removed by the developments of his illness. The Emperor now receives sufficient nourishment consisting of cream and whisky, which is given by pr. Mackenzie several times daily through tube, the osophagus being affected by local disease. The use of the tube being attended with danger Dr,
 Mackenzie only applied it after the other doc tors in attendance had agreed to it's use. Cases are on record where the lives of pa-
 tients have been prolonged several months. Since Saturday Dr. Mackenzie has been in- terting 8 tampon canula as connection has formed between the larnyx and osophogus. S:30 p. m.-The Emperor's general condi- 1 tion is comparatively satisfactory. He is able to take solid food without resorting to the tube. The doctors are more hopeful that l he will maintain his strength for some time | The Emperor received the King of Sweden sitting on the garden terrace.
 l The Post says: We hope the Emperor will | in few days regain the level of strength att | tained at Charlottenburg. Though waging a I bitter conflict with an insidious malady his mind, rising superior to physical distress, is
 occupied with far reaching schemes for the peoples welfare. His power and love for
 work defy the assaults of disease.
 The Emperor's bed has been moved into
 the study, which is brighter room afford l ing view of the park. The Emperor has overcome his repugnance to artificial feed I ing. He will be fed artifcially morning and | evening, taking small quantity of solids

 mains at the palace during the night although

SICKNESS DENIED.
a QUEER STORY.
In Which Frank Bellew, the Artist, is
Concerned.


Concerned.
NEW YORK, July THE death of Frank
Bellew, whose real name was Francis H.
Temple Bellew, recalls curious circum-
stance in connection with certain criminal
proceedings in the Tombs in which Bellew
was an important witness. Bellew was the
son of an Irish country gentleman and a
true bohemian in the best sense of the word.
He was disinherited on account of marrying
against his fathers wish. Before coming to
this country he worked for the London
Punch, and was intimately acquainted with
all the great lights of that periodical, such as
Leech Doylo, Mark Lemon, Shirley
Brooks, Tenniel, Kenny, Meadows and
Charles Keene. In this country he was a
habitue in the old Gays of the Pfaff saloon,
where uSel to congregate men like William
Winter, Charles Gayior, Fitzjames o Brien,
and many others.
Bellew at that time was drawing for
Harper's publications, and his signature
"B. or "Bellew" enclosed in a triangular
has been familiar to the American pub ic
for the past thirty-five years. as there was
scarcely an illustrated weekly or monthly
to which he had not contributed, both as a
writer and an artist.
A Turk, Oscanyan Effendi, sold, about
two years ago, a snort story purporting TO
be written by himself to a wel-known
newspaper syndicate. 1t was afterward
discovered that the story was by the late
Fitziames OBrien, and had appeared in
Harper's Monthly over thirty years ago
The syndicate Immediately had Oscanyon
arrested for larceny, and the case was heard
at the Tombs before Judge Solon B. Smith.
The accused stoutly denied the charge, and
when confronted with the evidence of his
guilt boldly said that FitZiames O'Rriau
sole the manuscript from him.
Bellew was then called as a witness and
created startling sensation by testifying
that he was rooming with O'Brien when the
latter wrote the story, who had also DIS
cussed the plot with him Un ier severe
cross-examination many interesting facts
came out in connection with the peculiar
character of OBrlen. The case was sent to
the z and jury, who found an indictment
against Oscanyon, but it never came TO trial
and the proceedings were afterward with
drawn. B. B. VALENTINE.
