FREAKS OF MEMORY.
Language of the Intellect De-
stroyed by Aphasia.
Changes of Word Memory
Through Brain Disease.

When disease affects the brain, says
Professor II. c. Wood in the Century,
alterations of word me mory are some
thing very strange. In the most COM
pete form of so-called aphasia the per,
son cannot understand words, he cannot
think in words, and cannot talk words.
Usually, however, words are remem-
bered sufficiently to be recognized when
heard or seen, but although the idea i,
there, the person cannot speak in
words. Irecall the case of an old Ger,
man woman who had aphasia. When
asked how old she was, she would in
dicate sixty with her fingers. If asked
how many children she had had, shq
would indicate seven. If two of the
fingers were turned down she would get
angry and insist upon the seven. She was
able to understand questions. She
knew what the figure "7' meant, but
had not the power to say the word
Seven 1t is very curious fact that
in these forms of aphasia the language
of the emotions may be preserved while
the language of the intellect is de-
stroyed. Very often prof anc man,
when he has aphasia, is able to swear.
This German woman, when excited,
could say 'Gott in Himmelp Besides
this there was left to her but one little
fragment of each of the two languages
which she had known. She could not
say the English no. but could say the
German 'nein'; she could not say the
German yah, but could splutter out
the English yes. The forms of apha.
STA known as word blindness and
word-deafness are very strange. The
sufferer for word blindness can write
and will understand what is said to
him; he will talk to you and perhaps
talk you to death; but hand him
book, newspaper. or even
the letter he himself has
written, and he cannot read
word. Thus an active man of business
having written letter, giving directions
for an important matter, attempted to
read it, in order to see if it was correct,
but was astounde ed to find that he could
not make out single word; he had
been suddenly stricken with word
blindness. The sounds of the words
and the words themselves had remained
to him, but the recollection of the
written forms of the words was gone.
In case of word deafness the person
can talk and can write, but although
his hearing is perfect ho cannot recog-
nize the spoken words. The sound of
the voice is plain to his sense, but con-
veys no thought to him. The records
of the past-the unconscious memory
so TO speak-exist in the brain;
but for conscious recognition these,
must be dragged out before the con-
is such thing as a bad memory, i. e..
as badly kept brain record. The
difference in individuals as to the pow
er of recolecting probably consists in
the relation between consciousness and
memory. One man has the power of
going into the library in his brain and
picking up ct once the leaf he wants,
and glories in his good memory. An
other cannot in a moment find what he
desires, but when the floods of disease
come, then spontaneously float up those
things which he had thought were gone
forever.

There was another very ragged ball game
played at Exposition Park yesterday, and
the home players, of course, lost it. The
vicIors were John Wards Brooklyn Won
ders," and they had a very pleasant and
easy time of it, indeed. Players League
patrons to the extent of 921 persons paid to
see the game and they saw some lively hit
ting by the Brooklyns and were favored
with very fine weather.
The home representatives were never in it
from the first, and they lost not so much be-
cause of any brilliant work on the part of
the visitors, but chiefly because of their own
inability to play anything like respectable
ball. Their work OF yesterday was, indeed,
below our famous losers in very many respects.
1t is needless to say that there was no enJhusi-
asm in the game. and the spectators were quite
pleased when the affair ended. The home
players may he able to do better, but their
work was wretched.
To tell about the game in detail would be as
wearlSome TO listen to il would be to relate.
All interest in 1t vanished IL the second inning.

were made 10y four hits, including three

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1srArcH.i
NEW YORK, September 24.-Thomas T.
Collins, an American citizen, who, if report
is true, has been prisoner in Manila, on
the PHILIPPINE islands for 16 years, is miss
ing, and his lawyer in this city believes
that he has been murdered. Collins is
55 years old. He was born in New
York and went to the Manila islands
in 1871. His story of his treatment is taken
from an affidavit which was forwarded to
the Government authorities in 1880. He
testified that in the year 1S47 he started
business in the port of Loog, on
the island of Tablas, on a plant
bought from W. Morton Clark, of
Philadelphia. consisting of $4,000 cubic
feet of hard timber, cut and squared for a
foreign market with all the appliances for
removing it, consisting of bufaloes for
hauling, boats, many canoes, blocks,
winches ropes and other apparatus.
In October of the same year he went to
Manila to charter a vessel for a cargo of
timber for Hong Kong. On his return to
Loog he found that during his absence in
Manila part of his timber had been taken
possession of without his consent and
shipped on board the Spanish bark Teresa
by DR.. Joaquin Barcelo, master of the bark,
who was then on his way to Hong Kong;
that his buffaloes and other belongings of
the plant were in the possession of
Barcelo's agents and that all the workmen
in his employ had left him, and were work.
ing for Barcelo, who had apparently taken
possession of the business. The result of
Collins efforts to obtain justice was that he
was refused passports, and could not get off
the island.
Finally the case leaked out and Collins
friends in New York engaged Lawyer W.
II. Leonard. Leonard wrote to Collins and
subsequently began suit against the Span
ish Government for 100000 at the same
time requesting the aid of the
State Department at Washington. Leon
ard said since the suit had been
pressed Collins had been subjected to great
indignity, and that last summer he received
a letter from Collins saying that his house
had been burned, and his wife Ga native)
and his children were without shelter. He
sent Collins letter to Secretary Blaine with
request that action be taken, and has not vet
had a reply from Washington. The last
heard of Collins, he said was the letter. On
Monday news was received that Collins had
disappeared and has probably been MUIR
dered in order to prevent him from testify
ing in his suit.

The PiItsburgs Pail ThemseIvcs Together
and Win First.Class Game Against
Bo.ton-BilIy Gumbert Was the Main
Cnu.a Of Ir--0fhCr

Cause Of lt--Othcr Scores.
There was general rattling of dry bones to
be heard at Recreation Park yesterday and the
local players seemed to have again arisen from
their graves and played ball. Only one of the
players seemed yet asleep and that was Sales.
Perhaps it would have been better if he had
been left to sleep away the hours in sepulchral
home while Sammy LaRoQue might have
played both positions as well if not better. But
the game was won and therefore there's no
room to raise dismal howl on this score. All
around the boys played better ball than was
their wont. George Miller was the batting
freak, getting four hits out of five times at bat
He also stole four bases.
The Bostons played good game except that
they failed to find Mr.. Gumbert, the young
pitcher, who though erratic would in time be-
come a frst-class addition to any team. he
should be with the team all the time when his
worth could soon be learned.
Clarkson was wild and gave Burke base on
balls at the very outset Miller singled and
drove Burke To second. Miller stole second
and Burke scored on the play. LaRoque sacri-
feed Miller to third and he scored on Berger's
hit Wilson opened the second with two
baser went 10 third on Hecker's sacrifice and
scored on Gumbert's grounder to short. The
latter stole second ana scored on Mlllers single.
In the third Decker and Sales got base on
balls. A passed ball gave Decker third and he
scored on Hecker's sacrifice. The local men
nnlSned their run getting IN the fourth. burke
singled, stole second and scored on MiIler's
base hit. After that Clarkson settled down
ana only one hit was made off him.
Boston did not score until the third. After
Smith struck out Clarkson singled and Lowe
did likewise. Sales juggled fuckers grounder
filling the bases. A base on balls crowded in
one man and another was sacrificed IN. No
more hits were made off Gumbert until the
ninth when another run was scored by the
visitors. Hines singled, got second on Sales
error, stole third and scored on Smiths base

NEW YORK, September M--The following
special cable dispatch from London was re-
ceived at the Police Gazette office to-day:
The arrangements for the international fight
betweed Joe McAuliffe and Frank P. Slavin
for FL 900, the Police Gazette championship
belt, and the championship OF the world Will
take place within two weeks.
Z richton Temple. who looked for police
interference did not want the men to battle for
the purse, but Lord Eric Gordon, Lord Ions
dale ana Richard K Fox insisted that the
purse should be offered, and also that should
the police interfere when the men are in the
ring Slavin and McAuliffe shall each receive
ESQ., Temple opposed this proposition and
said: at was useless to think Of
it. Richard K Fox insisted that the
amount mentioned should be paid. A long dis
cussion followed. and finally Temple agreed to
that the gloves made in America will be
slightly increased in size and that the pugilists
will fight Is instead of 30 rounds. 1t is the gen.
eral opinion that the battle will not last that
long and should it not be decided at the end of
Is rounds the referees, George VIE, and b. ].
Angle, will probably order additional rounds.
McAuli1fe and Madden are back at Barnes
cottage at Wells-in-the-Sea, while Slavin Jack
Lewis Joe Start and Billy Mccarthy have re-
sumed training at Dover Court, Harwick. All
bets on the fight are declared void. as there
has been police interference with the hght and
the conditions that governed the original
match have been changed If Lord Lonsdale,
Richard K. Fox and Lord Eric Gordon could
not have made Temple come to satisfactory
terms they would have put up an amount equal
to that suggested in the Ormonde Club, and
have used their influence to bring the contest
off in the Pelican Club. Slavin is now sorry
he refused to fight in the Pelican Club since
he discovered the cupidity and curious schem-,
ing of Temple.
Betting on the fight commenced at latter
sails to-day, and McAuliffe was the favorlte.
His fine condition and splendid physique were
greatly admired at the Lambeth Police Court.
At the Canterbury, Empire and Alhambra
Music Halls last night the Slavin and Nc
Aulitfe fight was the topic, and the Metropolis
is all worked up over the affair.

THREE offers for the Dixon-Murphy fight were
made yesterday. The Gladstone Club offered
81, 500, the New Beford 81, 500 and the Puritan
81, 700 with promise to top any other offer to be
made.
THE handsome silver mounted revolver offered
prize by Max Klein for the best swimmer

was won last evening at the Natitorium by officer
Anthony Manion, of Pittsburg.
FINNEY, the English swimmer, offers to contest
with anyone in the world in the following acts:
A long distance SWIM mile in the sea. a mile in
still water. under water swim and an ex-
hibtion of ornamental swimming. The stakes
are to be G100, or as much more as his opponent
chooses to name, and the winner of three out of
the five events is to be declared the all-round
champion.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-09-25

and these two must be at peace with each other.
Two organizations will always sustain the
liveliest interest in the game and will be better
for the public and for the players. OF course
the Players League cannot keep players that
don't fill the bill. 1t is not IN asylum for in
ferior or superanuated ball players. We will
release those who are not good enough"
Regarding the recent rumors from Louisville
and other places Mr.. Ward said: There is no
truth whatever in the Louisville story. The
Association has made overtures to us which
were not acceptable. The Cincinnati deal is
off because Mr. Stern wanted too much money
for his team. He asked $4,000 for it and we
don't think it worth that amount. All can
say about the future is that the Players League
will be in existence next year with eight clubs
and we mean to be to the front"
