HAD A WHEEL IN HIS BODY.
A WOunded-K Hero SatiriZed by
Massachusetts Students.

BOSTON, Mass, April 16.-First Lieut.. II.
L. Hawthorne, L. S. A., military instructor
in the Massachusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy, is in high dudgeon, and has applied TO
be relieved from duty professor of mill
tary science and sent back to his regi-
ment, the Fourth Artillery. 1t has been
known for some time that there trou-
BILE in the institute, and that Lieutenant
Hawthorne refused to drill the students,
but just what the trouble was has just
come out. In the battle of Wounded Knee
a bullet from a Sioux rifle drove the works
Of Lieutenant Hawthornes watch far into
his body. The wound healed, but became
troublesome Finally he was advised to
seek medical aid, and the Lieutenant came
to the Massachusetts General Hospital. The
operation performed there was delicate but
was successful the surgeons finding one of
the watch wheels near the spine. The dis
covery of a wheel in the Lieutenants body
excited the risibles of the students when
ever the matter was mentioned and when
the junior claSsmen, who publish the
Technique, the institute magazine, made the
Lieutenant the subject of a satire he holly
resented 1t and asked the faculty TO eXpel
the editors. The faculty refused TO do so,
and the Lieutenant asked TO be relieved.
Some of the boys have limited that the Off
GERS technical lectures on Hannibal, Caesar,
Napoleon and other great generals and
their wars were just a bit tedious, so in
the last number of the Technique they got
back at the Lieutenant in a mock eXamina-
ton paper. one of the questions in this
paper was: What are the three greatest
battles of history?' The answer TO this
was, Waterloo, Gettysburg and Wounded
Knee" Than followed kindred questions,
bringing Wounded Knee" at the end of ev
cry answer. Wounded Knee was conspic
uous all through the paper but the ques-
ton offensive TO the Lieutenant was: If
lieutenant in the regular army should have
q watch shot into him, what would you call
it-time flies or a watch the spine?'
There were other references more or less
personal and when the Lieutenants atten-
ton was called To the paper he took the
place of military instructor for nearly three

Total sales OF stocks amounted to 21S,1OO
shares. The feature of the speculation at
the opening of business yesterday morning
was Sugar, and this stock monopolized the
dealings up to noon, the rest of the list be-
ing stagnant The stock was bought by the
same brokers who manipulated the deal on
Saturday. and presumably for the same
clique. Buying was quite brisk, and within
less than three-quarters of an hour adj
vance Of "a per cent had been established.
AS usual, the probability of a change in
the tariff bill more favorable to the refiners
was claimed to be the motive for the i'm
provement, but il is not unlikely that better
trade prospects had good deal to do with
the advance. Before IL o'clock the purchas-
ing movement had lost its force, and the
price began to sag off gradually. the last
sale being made at a figure rs per cent be-
low the highest point touched, leaving only
q gain of y on the day. After midday
Chicago Gas jumed into prominence
on heavy purchase based on
report that the Encouragement of
Illinois had decided not to institute the
quo warranto proceedings. An advance of
S}4 per cent. was quickly made before there
was time to investigate tn, statement re-
garding the Attorney-generaTs action. As
on previous occasions when such a rumor
was started, inquiry resulted in the dis
covery that the story was without foun-
dalton in fact, but the stock was well sup
ported, and in the subsequent dealings
only III per cent. of the improvement was
than the last sale made on Saturday. The
strength of the shares was largely due
20 covering by shorts who had put out
some long lines last week, and who feared
the effect of a disposition of the litigation
favorable TO the gas company. The adj
vance brought out very few realizing sales
strong hands. Rumors TO the effect that
the plan of reorganization of the Erie
Railroad Company was Vulnerable TO at
tack Of the opposition weakened Erie COM
large and resulted in a decline of 1h per
cent on the day. The bears made a slight
demonstration in the stock. The general
wheich were usually active fluCtuated
within narrow limits. St. Paul was sold
by London, and the other grangers were
weak in sympathy. AT the close the tone
OF speculation was heavy, and, compared
with Saturdays closing prices. irregular.
The railway and miscellaneous bond mar
kst was active, but rather weak all day,
although some shares scored gains. Gov
eminent bonds were firm. State bonds were
inactive.

of China provide that sorting like that /
described must be made every three years
of all the pretty Tartar girls in their teens,
