Longs to Come TO
Pittsburg Agnin.
DR.. Foster, the Pittsburg physician who
has been attending Manager Phillips, re-
turned from Philadelphia yesterday morn
ing. The writer visited the Doctor specially
to learn definitely and clearly what the
condition of the afflicted manager really is.
The physician was extremely frank and
very glad to have an opportunity to make a
public statement on the case because, he
said, that so many misleading and incorrect
stories had been circulated about the case.
'T am perfectly willing" said DR.. Foster,
"to state exactly the condition Mr.. Phillips
is now in and what are the chances of his
his recovery as far as / am able to Judge
In the first place, none of us can tell whether
or not his case is amenable to treatment If
during the next week or ten days his affiiction
does not develop his case will be a very hopeful
one On the other hand however, If 1t does
progress and increase the indications will be
exceedingly unfavorable. At present there is
one very favorable sign and that is the absence
of paralysis However, we cannot tell at
present what are the chances for his recovery.
He is being looked after in frstclass style:
indeed he could not receive better attention
were he millionaire"
AN ovERwoRKED BRAIN.
Dr. Foster continued: II think that Mr.
Phillips must have given symptoms Of mental
prostration about the first of July, because at
that time he began to say and do some strange
things now and then. Undoubtedly. his affiic-
tion is the result OF working when he was not
physically able. For the last six months be has
been an invalid and ought not to have travelled
about with a ball club His system became so
weak that the result is not to be wondered at
when we consider the troubles and trials he had

Boston had been up the bay making her
runs over the measured mile course, and
these proved to be satisfactory. She had
made her last trip, and had come back as
far as Rose Island, where she had been in
the habit of anchoring.

that there was no excuse ior her getting on
the rocks. One of the big plates was cracked
and the water rushed in. Immediately the
hands were put to the pumps and divers
have been to work all day patching her up.

The rifler was discovered and was soon
chased from one floor to another by
two gentlemen members OF the house

STRONG AND WEAK,
Superstitious Beliefs Entertained by

Superstitious Beliefs Entertained by n
Famous Russian General.
At the storming of Loftsha, during
the Russo-Turkish war, General
Skobeleff ordered an officer to lead a
battalion to certain point. The
men marched on as long as there were
buildings to shelter them from the
Turkish fire, but when they came to
the open ground they halted, for an
advance, apparently, meant the ami
hilation of the battalion.
just at that moment the men saw
Skobeleff riding calmly at a walk
across the fatal space, while round
him shot and shell whistled furiously.
In fight after the passage of the
Balkans, the painter Verestchagin
says that the rain of bullets was the
most murderous he ever experienced,
though he had been several times
under heavy fire. In spite of the dan.
ger, he watched Skobeleff walk slowly
along, his hands buried in the pockets
of his overcoat. The whistling bull.
lets did not cause him to bend his
head once; his face was quiet, and his
eyes restful.
snow we know what running the
gauntlet MEANS" said he to the artist,
as turn in the road sheltered them
from the bullets of the Turk.
Tell me, honestly" said the artist,
''have you really SO accustomed your
self to war that you no longer fear
danger?"
Nonsense" replied the Russian
General, "they think that am brave
and that am afraid OF nothing, but /
confess that | am coward. But !
have made it rule never to bend
down under fire. If you once permit
yourself to do that, you will be drawn
on further than you wish. Whenever
| go into action say to myself that
this time there will be an end of me-"
But though courageous under fire,
the Russian General was coward at
headquarters. Before his troops he
always appeared in full dress uni
form with his hair neatly trimmed and
scented. But in the presence OF his
superiors he wore worn-out coat, a
cloak hanging all awry and cap
crushed down on the back of his head.
He seemed embarrassed, as If afraid
his elegance might give offense.
This hero of many battles was super.
stitious. He believed in lucky and un.
lucky days, refused to sit down with
thirteen at table, jumped from his seat
at the spilling of little salt, and left
a room in which three candles were
burning.
