HIS QUEER PATIENT,

a Physician Relates Hfs SingulaE E4p3'

:'My funniest pationt7' said the doc

of facer. You newspaper fellows do
ask the queerest questions"
TELL me, Doc" urged the scribe.
"about the most singular patient you
have or ever had. as the case may be-"
81 see," said the doctor, thoughtfully,
'you are bound to stick to mo like q
vampire until T tell you something,
so hero goes. A certain woman who
lives on West Fifty-seventh street has
mania for every thing extraordinary.
She is what you would call beautiful
woman, but don't believe she has even
an apology for o soul. Whether her
husband realizes the latter fact do not
pretend to say, and II he does he has too
much pride 20 confess it to the world.
Well, this woman came to me one morn

to inject some Of its contents in both OF
her arms and neck. OF course l In
quired what tho liquid might be. She
answered:
"'Tbat's all right; will give you fifty

The Times did not appear yesterday af-

little prospect of the company resuming the
publication Of the paper, for the present at
least.
The editorial and reportorial forces ton
dered their designations in the morning,
and then proceeded to garnishee the cred
itors Of the company for back salary. The
printers, pressmen ard osher employees of
the company followed their example in the
afternoon. and obtained laborers' liens
to secure their claims against the company.
Ot the fifty employees Of the paper
none had been paid off and the ag-
gregate OF their claims is about 81 900.
Other creditors Of the companyhaye taken
similar steps. In all about $50 garnish.
ments wore served yesterday on firms in
debted to the paper.
Yesterday morning the insurance agents
inspected the building. Their investigation
satisfied them that there were two fires in
the building on Saturday night. One

The insurance men examined the stock

so effectively that the damage to the prop

reach $1,000. The appraisers are expected
to begin their work tomorrow.
A successor to the Times is expected to
