NURSING THE LIFE SPARK,
Conrad Kellar Kept Alive in Mar
yelous Way.

Conrad Kellar Kept Alive in a Mar
ye1ous Way.
All day the spark of life was kept alive in
the body of Conrad kellar by artificial
respiration and the physicians in ST. Mary's
Hospital. where the man lay, considered it
one of the most remarkable cases on record.
Kelar, who lives in the rear of 926 st.
John street. was found at an early hour in
the morning by Officer Gallagher of the
Tenth district lying III an unconscious state
on the pavement near his home and taken to
the hospital. There 1T was found that he
was suffering from laudanum poisoning, anu
restOratives were administered, but he lay
all day and up TO late hour last evening in
a comatOse state.
The physicians saw that their patient
would die If his lungs were allowed to re-
lax, and two nurses were put 10 work rails
ing and lowering the mans arms as he lay in
his cot. All day long the process was con-
tinued.
Drs Comegys and Mcdonald. of the hos
pital, who have the case in hand, said last
evening that they had never before known
OF case where patient was kept alive so
long by that means. kellar's recovery is
matter Of extreme doubt. - Philadelphia

A MISER WITH MILLIONS.
Durand, of Rodez, Who Lived Alone ane
Loved the CIink of Gold.

Durand, of Rodez, Who Lived Alone and
Loved the CIink of Gold.
& rather remarkable mser named Durand
has just departed this life in the town OF
Rodez. He was Sc years old, and according
to the Frenc estimate Of fortune he was
triple millionaire, his magnet being worth
in cash and paper ei20000 or 5000, OOOf.
Durand used to go about town like mendi-
cant-so much so that people often offered
him aims, but were grinned at for their
prOffered generosity. He was known to
have had but one suit of tailor-made clothes
during his long years of residence in Rodez,
but on the days when he went to draw his
dividends at the local bank he generally
donned garment intended to be cere-
monious, which seemed to be a compromise
between blouse and sack. The miser
lived alone in a big house, the doors of
which were doubly locked, and occupied
himself with mending his clothes and boots,
cooking, washing his linen and counting up
his money-this last task being his daily de-
light and principal pastime. Durand has
left his house and the bulk of his bullion to
female fish-monger- the widow of Mover
and-who sometimes visited him. To his
own relatives, some of whom are in poverty,
the miser has not left penny.-Paris dis

A Time Like Eternity.

Some of the MADEIRA boys are gaining q

staid and staid the other night until the
young lady was mad enough to say any

pointed remarks when she met him next
day,
Il had perfectly delightful time at your

man when he met her.

1t is now one year since the then COM
mander of the Second Brigade furnished
certain figures in frantic effort to satisfy
himself that the month of August is better
time Tor the holding of an encampment than
the week In July, including the national
holiday, because Of the likelihood of greater
attendance during the later period. When
Inc hgures came to be aualyzed, however,
the then commander of the brigade found
himself in a ludierous position and his fg
nres proved the very reverse of what he in
tended they should demonstrate.

Waterman and Markham will furnish food
for reflection. More mea went down for
The FIRST days OF Camp Markham than went
