What the Doctor Says of
Mackay's Wound.
1t Had to Be Reopened and Dressed
Anew-Condition of Rippey,
the Assassin.

Dr. Kenney. in Ia:tendance upon John
w. Mackay, who is suffering fr ON the bui-
let wound inflicted by w. C. Rppey, an
nounced yesterday that his patient was i'm
proving too rapidly. that is the wound was
healing too fast, and for that reasonshe had
reopened it, to give it an opportunity to
heal from the bottom.
Wnen the wound was opened it was dis
covered that a small sack of pus had
formed in the bottom of the wound. Had
this been allowed to remain, blood poison
ing would have followed. The wound was
treated antiseptically and care will be taken
that il granulates aud heals from the
interior.
The doctor stated that he has no appre-
hension of the result as his patient rests
well, has a good appetite, his digestion is
excellent and all in all his general condi-
ton is all that any one could desire. Mr..
Mackay yesterday expressed hope TO be on
the street in day or two. but the physician
will not permit this.
Wesley c. Rippey. the shooter, still occu-
pies cot in the City Receiving Hospital
under the careful eye of a policeman whose
duty It is to see that the patient does not
make a further attempt upon his life
Yesterday morning he awoke alter having
passed fairly good night, but complained
OF acontinuous pain in the byck of the head
and chest. This is aggravated by coughing
and at times the patient expresses the nope
that his wound Will cause his death and
that very soon. During the day he became
very weak.
The physicians who are attending him are
not of a unanimous opinion as to the prob
able outcome Of the self.inflicted wound.
The wounded capitalist was resting easily
at an early hour this morning.

HIS SOUL WAS SAD.
DIR. Cogswell a Victim of
Ingratitude.
FOUNTAINS GOING TO WASTE.
The Artist Put the Wrong Man on
Top, but the Doctor Has For
given Him.

"THE CALL says that the Lotta fountain
Is not well cared for by the city, said Dr..
Henry D. Cegswell yesterday. Compare
lively speaking. l think 1t is well cared for.
Why just look at mine"
The doctor referred to the fountain and
statue of himself at Market and California
streets.
He said he knew that great deal Of fun
had been poked at that fountain, but it was
q serious matter to him.
The papers have had many articles
descriptive of the Cogsweil fountains, but
tue doctor says the inside history of the
matter has never been published. He told
is to reporter yesterday.
Unload your statues on the municipality
and thev Will return after many years." is
a sentiment that is stirring up the phylan-
thropic soul of the doctor. len years ago
he presented the city of San Francisco with
three drinking fountains, each with an
heroic statue Of himself in bronze on the
perch.
By virtue OF resolution adopted by the
Board of Supervisors June %, 1888, the city
agreed to erect the fountains, one on City
Hall avenue, one at the Haight-street en-
trance to Golden Gate Park and the other
on Market street, near the ferry.
In moment Of delirium the board al
lowed ene of the fountains to be placed at
Market and California streets, where it has
suffered from contact with the world.

HAD MONEY in 1T.
Wharfinger Isaacs Makes
a Big Find.
An Old Fender That Had Once Been
a Mast Still Contained the Money
Placed Therein.

1t Is not generally known that money lies
about loose on the water front, and yet such
is the fact. 1t Is only necessary to carry a
stick and to keep your eyes open and punch
around TO pick up silver pieces any day.
At least that Is what Wharfnger lsaacs be-
lieves, and he has the coin to prove his
statements.
Yesterday, in a thoughtful mood, the
wharfnger stood beside an old fender that
had been thrown up on the pier at Folsom
No. i, and tapped ii pensively with his cane,
aud fell into a reYerie over the vicissitudes
of fortune which that old piece of timber
had known. At one time, thought the
wharfnger, this was a stately mast and as
such probably sailed the whole circle of the
globe.
1t has seen many ports and witnessed
curious spectacles. and weathered fierce
storms. After years Of hard service il was
taken out and made to serve as n common
lender here on the bay. II has received the
butfeting OF younger craft beside this very
Whatf Tor more than a year, and now,
swollen with constant contact with the sea
and half devoured by teredos, il has been
thrown up here on the wharf.
As Mr.. lsaacs ruminated be approached
the step of the old mast He thrust his
stick into hole in the end and 1t gave out
sharp metallic sound. He bent closer for
anearer inspection and the glimmer of silver
met his eye. He struck the place sharply
and an ola battered quarter rolled cut at
his feet. 1t was black in spots and half
covered with verdigris, and bore the date
of 1871.
This is the biggest kind of luck" said
Mr.. Isaacs aloud. ut was doubtless placed
there when the mast was first nut in posi-
ton. All, here is food for further refiec-
lon," and the genial wharfinger moved
away, eying his treasure closely, and wrapt
in profound meditation.

hastily found conclusions, but the result Of
considerable thought, based on much obser-
walton.

who appeals to me that the stage is not her
proper sphere of usefulness in llfe."
DO many women appeal to you for ad-
vice on this subiect?'
Daily l receive visits and letters from
people who want 20 ask me whether ii were
wise for them to 60 upon the stage, and the
larger part OF these are from women.

than the men. TEsy write aud write till
they get an answer, and in the matter of

the fOrmality of sending up card; they

l have dissuaded more that one woman
from trying the stage.
'At first there is something attractive
about the stage, l can realize that; but it
soon wears off, and the shifting life that
both men and women on the stage have to
lead to-day soon becomes very irksome.
l he comforts of home are unknown, and
the purity Of the home life is soon left far
behind.
'If there is one thing more than another
disagreeable in this profession, ii is this
modern system OF itineraney which deprives
a man Of his local habitat and his name,
and makes 1t impossible for him to hold that
place among his neighbors and fellow-citi-
zens that any other professional man is en-
abled to enjoy.

which brought forth this response.
"Why? Well. for many reasons" con-
tinued the actor. ''but chiefly because l do
not think public life is the proper sphere

And then the enforced itinerancy of the
