Asleep Twenty-three Days.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Jan. III Special Tele-
gram to THE BEE. Mrs. Melvina Fl. White
who has been asleep for twenty-three days,
is still in the same condition at her home in
Wheaton, about nine miles from this city.
Mrs. White is about forty years of age. She
is attended by two female nurses. The only
course OF treatment followed has been the
administering of such medicines as were pre-
scrbed by the doctors and occasionally a
little milk. She has become somewhat ema-
ciated and is evidently slowly sinking. Pre-
vious to the day on which she fell into the
state of coma in which she now is, she had
been quite weak from general debility and
nervous prostration. The effort to arouse
her with an electric battery was entirely in
effective, producing only a slight twitching
of the arms. The action of the heart is weak
and it is believed that the patient can last
but a few days au the most.

mains in its place bare surface measuring
about IA square inches. Grating skin from
the lower animals has been tried and failed.
Now nothing remains that can be done but
to graft skin. The commander has issued a
lengthy circular calling on the members of

integnment to cover this space and tomorrow
morning at the time stated the cOmmandery
members, including volunteers for the opera

Knzie street before the operation and visit
the hospital in squads of fifty, until the
operation is dcne Crafts will be taken from
the flexor side of the left arm where the skin
Is thin and well nonrished. This point has
been selected also for the reason that there
are few sensory nerves in the skin and there
fore the pam Of the operation will be reduced
TO minimum. Each man will be expected
to contribute about one incn of skin. The
doctor in charge gives the assurance that the
operation will succeed and that the dis ease

Wong Hoy Amuses Himself with the
Chinese Giant, Lee Yen.


New YORK, Jan. 17.-[Specal Telegram to
THE BEE. The sports of Chinatown have
received setback When it was announced
last week in Chinese sporting circles that
match had been arranged between little
Wong Hoy and the giant. Lee Yen, to fight
to a finish, according to approved Chinese
methods, the sports all had, or thought they
had, a sure thing. They backed Lee Yen to
a man. Wong Hoy operates a laundry at
Hartford, Conn. He weighs but 100 pounds
and stands feet inches in his stocking

letic powers and paid frequent visits to this
city in the hope OF finding an antagonist will

suit his countrymen fought shy of his pro-
posals, When Yen, however, waited his
giant figure among the celestial sports they
were happy. Here was "a man who would
soon wipe the boastful Wong from off the
face of the earth. Lee is q feet inches tall
aud weighs 225 pounds. The fight came off
in store on Pell street, all the Chinese
sports being present.
"Hi yah " exclaimed the referee and then
the fight began. The giant reached out for
the little fellow. but the latter was not there.
In flash he had dived between the giants
legs. Then came an upward heave and the
giant lay sprawling upon the floor. This was
Wong's opportunity. With wonderful quick
ness he had delivered his prostrate foe kick
in the stomach then he jumped up and came
down with both feet upon Lees head, jam.

THE DEUIL CHILD,
A Remarkable Monstrosity Born In a
N1inn esota Town.


CHATHAM, Mimi, Jan. 17.-Special Tele-
gram to The BEE. Mrs. Sarah A. Morris,
a respectable English woman OF Boone
Bridge Wright county, has given birth to
the most remarkable monstrostv ever heard
of in this part of Minnesota. The people
who have visited the house call it the devil.
The mother, when she saw it, went into hys-
terlcs and has been sent TO the asy lum at St.
Peter in a hopeless state of lunacy. The
chlld-devil was born four weeks ago and has
developed so rapidly that it weighs twenty
two pounds. Its display of intelligence Is
something wonderful and exceeds that
of ordinary children from twelve to eighteen
months of age. Its body is covered thickly
with auburn hair, about two inches long. 1t
has two horns, a tail like that of cat and
feet which are partly like those of man and
partly like those of a dog. The birth of the
phenomenon is due, ccording to members of
the Morris family, to trivial occurrence
some time in November, when book agent
appeared at the house selling Catholic bibles.
Mrs Morris formed a violent dislike to the
man and ordered him out OF the house, tell
ing him she would as soon have the devil in
the house as a bible. The agent accused her
of blasphemy and said dramatically as she
hustled him out of the door, II will send you
a devil to plague you.n

INTENT TO COMMIT MURDER.
The Charge Now Staring Young Patrick
Ford in the Face,
HIS HEARING SET FOR JANUARY 80
William Devaney's Life Hanging by a
Tbread-Gambiers Raided by the
Police and Thirty Ar
rests Made.

"Patrick Ford jr.-shooting with intent to
commit murder"
That Is the way the police register reads
since young Ford, who shot Devaney Friday
night, has been taken to the county Jail and
his hearing in police court is post
poned until January 30. The hearing
has been postponed to await the
result of Devaneys injury. Yesterday
afternoon at 4 80 young Ford, along with
several other Jail birds, was taken to the
county jail and as he is an ugly man to han
die the iailer ordered the handouts put on
him. This aroused Ford's bitter denuncia-
ton and he proceeded to swear at and villify
everybody about the Jail.
Patrick Ford, sr., visited the Jail to see his
wayward son. He was very much affected
and tears were seen to trickle down his ruddy
cheeks.
"Why don't you bring me something to
eat,n said the young man to his father. II
can't eat the grub they give me in here"
"Sou ought never to have got in here. /
think you get about as good as you Deserve"
replied Patrick Ford, ST..
"What did you come down here fors' re-
torted the son, looking at his father savagely.
"Why didn't you stay at Lincoln. You
needn't talk any more You can go to HI
for all care.n
When the patrol reached the county Jail
young Ford broke out in anothar paroxysm
of profanity because he had been compelled
to wear handouts. He seemed as utterly in
different to impending punishment as though
he were the most innocent man in Douglas
county. He has retained Hon. M. V. Cannon
as his attorney. Judge Helsley refused to
permit young Ford to furnish bail for his re-
lease. He will have to stay in Jail until he
has a preliminary hearing at all events.
William Dovaney, the man who was shot
by Ford on Friday night, is still alive, but is
lingering on the borderland of the unknown
