Rebuilt by the Doctors, SO That His
Friends Do Not Know Him.
DIR. Kelly of Bellevue Hospital, who
gained wide renown by the grating of
dogs bone upon the leg of little Johnny
Gethaus few months ago, has just success
fully concluded another most remarkable
surgical feat. He has given a prominent
New York politician a new face; has so
changed him. facially, in fact that every
day his identity is questioned by his nearest
friends.
Martin Engel is as well known in the
Eighth Assembly District of New York as
is Jay Gould on Wall street. On June 18th
EngeI, while bent upon political mission,
a fierce local contest then being in progress
in the district, went into McKeon's notori-
GUS saloon, at Christie and Hester streets.
This is what is known as knOcker-out dive,
where, il a prosperous looking stranger in
noeently enters, whatever liquor he orders
is drugged in such way that in very few
moments no becomes helplessly drunk.
Engel, who we'll knew the character of the
place, was leaning against the bar, when
his attention was attracted by man at his
left elbow addressing an inquirylto him con-
cerning John Brodsky. well-known Re-
publican district-leader.
He turned and was making petulant re-
ply when a man on his right struck him on
the side Of the head with an iron bar, and
thereupon the bartender jumped over the
death-dealiHg mahogany and battered En-
gel in the face with buDg-driver. These

in a few minutes nearly every bone in En-

He WOULD BE WILD.
Cowboy" Robert Schmidt Pre-
cipitated a Free Fight.

He was would-be cowboy, and dreamed
of Texas fame as a wild and wOOlied never
to-be-curried individual, did Robert Schmidt
yesterday, as he went about town with
belt and holster strapped to him, in which
reposed d iine 44-caliber Colts revolver.
His dream of fame, however, did not allow
him to postpone his bloody deeds unit! he
had reach ed the boundaries of the Lone
Star State. Instead, he started out last
night to make d record for himsslt-such a
one as would prevent his returning 10 this
city.
At @ o'clock he found himself in the
Bakers and Butchers Exchange on How
ard street. He also found himself in hot
dispute with Fred SChramm. He drew his
revolver and was about TO shoot, when the
bar-keeper, August Weissmann, struck him
over the head with a broken cue. Then a
free fight, in which four persons figured,
ensued, and lasted until three officers ar
rived. II was case of three Of kind
beating two pairs.
August Weissmann, the bar-keeper, Fred
Schramm, his friend, Robert Schmidt, the
wouId-be cowboy, and Hermann Ilegel, his
friend, soon found themselves at the South
ern Station on the charge of battery against
each. Schmidt was also charged with car
rying q weapon concealed. He was very
bloody, and had to be removed TO the Re-
ceiving Hospital for repairs. He has post

MAMMALS GREAT HEAD.
A Tale of a Mother and Her Four Actress
Daughters.

A Tale of a Mother and Her Four Actress
Daughters.
There is woman in New York having
four daughters who are all members of
comic opera choruses. Every chorus girl
having any pretension to physical charm is
good for at least five persistent admirers,
and these four sisters were distinctly above
the average, and therefore averaged seven
admirers each, having totality of twenty
eight. Twenty-eight men of means In pur-
suit of four lovely women are sure to part
with great deal Of money, and one of the
ways.in which they will part with 1t is in
the eating and drinking line, These pur-
suers of the comely sisters were all hearty
and jolly men. and the thing they loved
above all else in life was to withdraw at
about midnight to some pleasant little re-
freshment rooms and there pal take of dainty
food and wine.
Now the mother of the Iour girls is an
astute and experienced woman, and though
she kept herself in the background as far as
her daughters were concerned she managed
to influence them little in making the bes.
OF their opportunities and gave them much
valuable advice. Finally a brilliant idea
struck the matron. She said to herself that
the twenty-eight admirers oil her daughters
were spending an immense sum of money
for midnight refreshments. They, in fact
formed quite complete restaurant trade in
themselves. Now. why shouldn't she get
the money they paid out for food? Why
shouldn't she run the restaurant where her
daughters and their admirers were in the
habit of eating? She broached the subject
to the girls and their practical minds saw
the beauty of the idea at once. Accordingly
plans were set at work looking to the estab-
lishment Of small restaurant business on
upper Broadway, and short while ago the
doors were thrown open upon an attractive
looking room having grill near the window
and with inviting looking tables just visible
from the street.
1t is needless to say that the four chorus
girls now take as many of their twenty
eight admirers as can be collected after the
opera to theft mothers place, and a fairly
paying business is already progressing, with
every promise that 1t will grow to unusual
proportions, for as the days pass the youth
full population that pr0wls about the neigh
borhood in the small hours Is finding out
that very gay and generous crowd pat
roniZe the resort, and consequently new
young men in company with various other
chorus girls find their way there of a night
AS matters look now the mother of the four
beauties will soon make a fortune. She Is Mt
present trying TO figure out whather it would
be profitable to start jewelry-stOre.
Twenty-eight men running after four act
resses, she argues, buy a great many dia-
mOnds in the course of a year. Why
shouldn't she sell the diamonds that her
daughters wear? The business, however.
is rather heavy for her as yet so she will
wait until she makes little more money in
clans before she attempts to speculate in
rubies and pearis.-Nashville Herald

fact that his life would not have been saved
had not an abandoned woman, moved by
pity, given the alarm to policeman, who
had the wounded man conveyed 70 the hos
pital This officer had known Engel for
twenty years, and in making his report OF
the case at the police station he described
the victim of the assault as an unknown
man."
An examination of the unfortunate Engel
disclosed the fact that both his jaws, his
cheek bones and his nose were fractured.
The fact that he lived was almost mracu-
lous. DIR. Kelly, who took the patient IN
charge, saw a tit subject for experiments
with number of new surgical appliances,
ana as a result Engel to-day has not scar
upon his countenance, but has an entirely
new face. 1t has been actually rsmodeled
by the hand OF the surgeon. His nose. Tor
merly aQuiline, now presents fiat. Mon
Colian aspect. In the main II Is artificial,
and yet its outer surface is OF human skln
and flesh. The interior alone is OF ARTIFICIAL
composition. Yet this peculiar nasal organ
shows no sign of scarihcatlon. His eyes are
more drawn down upon his cheeks than
they we're formerly. His mustache has been
made to assume different shs pc in order 10
conceal the Disagreement of his upper lip.
In mending his broken jaw-bOne his face
has been pushed into a rounder shape.
Within two months his health mas been per-
fectly restored, with the exception that he
has not fully regained his normal weight.
As he walks the streets of the Eighth AS
sembly District, however, men who bowed
down to him low as one of the political
magnates of New York pass him by with
out a nod, utterly failing TO recognized him.
He rushes up to old-time friends with the
intention of shaking them warmly by the
hand, but they gaze upon him strangely and
suggest that they read the newspapers and
cannot be entrapped by bunko-Steerers. To
prevent mistakes which are constantly hap
pening, he has now provided himself
with a certificate from DR.. Kelly, stating
that he is Martin Engel. Physicians say
that the mending oil his countenanee will
ever figure niemorably in the annals Of
surgery.-N. Y. correspondence Philadelphia

A WONDERFUL SPRING.

Street-Car Business VIII Be Revolution
lied With 1t.
A few weeks ago S. H. Shaw of Kansas
came to this place to find manufacturer
who wonld make him spring feet long,
u feet wide and 3-S2 of an inch thick. He
had been to nearly every spring-maker in
the country. and came here as last resort
Thomas Wallace of the firm of Wallace IL
Sons undertook the job, and to-day the
spring is ready to be wound on mandrel,
which is being made for it.
The use to which the big spring is to be
put is to propel street-cars. There are to be
eight of them under each car, each wound
ND in barrels twenly-six inches in diameter.
The outer edges of these barrels form
sprocket wheels, from which run endless
chains, connecting with sproeket wheels
on the car axIes. Each spring is two-horse-
power, making sixteen horsepower TO each
car These, it is estimated, Will drive car
four miles. They are under the control OF
the driver; can be disconnected By the turn
of the wheel, and in running down grade
the springs are partly rewOund. On road
four miles long q winding station, requiring
an engine, would have to be set up at each
tend.

the line running from Manchester to Rich-
mond, Va. A model, weighing 1000 pounds
and carrying ten persons. made success

the coming test is successful the new
method of street-car propulsion Will reyolu-
tionize the business, as the car can be made
and fitted at the cost of an ordinary car.
The springs can be fitted to run longer dis
tance.-Ansonia Comm special to Pitts

OREGON FISH.
Stories About Them oftener True Than
Is Really Believed.

Stories About Them Oftener True Than
Is Really Believed.
The bappiest man on earth is the man
who likes TO fish and has the opportunity.
Therefore the Oregon angler ought TO be
happy. There are, of course, many sources
of pleasure in this world for those disposed
to enter into the spirit Of the various enter
tainmentS, but from the days when the
disciples fished in the Sea of Galilee to the
present time the angler has been regarded
as the best example Of human contenlment
aud happiness; 50 much so, in fact, that in
modern times angling is spoken of as the
gentle art. Nevertheless fishermen are
looked upon the worll over as great liars.
l don't know why. Anglers as a rule are
gentlemen. and gentlemen will not lie.
Ignorant, worldly people imagine, because
the angler comes home with a basket of
fingerlings and a story about hooking and
losing monster that carried away his
fly, leader and maybe part of his tip, that
he is lying about the monster. They don't
stop to consider that the big tSh are more
powerful, active and cunning, and there
fore better able 10 get away than the little
ones.
Sometimes it happens that the angler is
able to prove what he says, although we
must confess that this is the exception to
general rule. l once caught a fine eight
FOUNDER just below high dam. In landing
him he got soiled and stepped above the
dam TO rinse him. He looked so symmetr-
cal and handsome after being washed that
held him up for the delectation Of my
enviOus companions across the stream
How lie did it l don't know, but like flash
of light he sprang out of my hands and into
water fourteen feet deep. My first impulse
was to 90 after him and l went. l got my
fish all right enough, but if my statement
was not backed up by good substantial
proof l would not make it, for the general
another fish lie. When you consider the
facts, however, there is nothing very re-
markable about it You see, the fish COM
ing from rapid to still water in a dazed
condition naturally lost his bearings, and
luckily, when so ardently pursued, shot
directly up to and upon the slUpfng dam and
became easy prey for the norman that was
after him.-Forest and Stream.
