A portion OF the English army camped

top is plot OF ground inclosed by an iron
fence. In this inclosure soldiers Of the
English army lie buried. 1t is a story that
has been often told in this vicinity that

A short time ago Aaron McCaIty, who

CARED FOR BY HIS TOWN
Tennessee NewSbOy'S Case at Johns
Hopkins Hospital.
Citizens of Bristol Looking After His
Welfare-ReportsSe Week
to u Committees

Baltimore, Sept. 26.-There is an inter
estlng patient at the Johns Hopkins Hos
pital. He is nineteen years of age, but
life of sickness has stinted his growth and
dwarfed his frame.
His name is William Perry, and he be-
longs in Bristol, Tenn, of which town, or
the people rather than the corporation,
he is "A ward. He has thus FAR undergone
three operations for appendicitis at the
hospital, and preparations are being made
To perform another With this last opera
ton it is hoped by the physicians that a
complete cure will be effected.
HIS case has excited the deepest interest
among the medical profession, and the
doctors in whose charge he is give him the
greatest care possible. Operations for ap-
pendicitis are extremely dangerous, and
many fatalities occur.
The boy has had sad but interesting
experience. He has borne all his troubles
with the utmost patience and resignation.
He is very small for his age, and looks
as il lie was only about fourteen years.
Sickness has shriveled his form, but his
physicians have hopes that lie will yet be'a
large, strong man
Perry is an orphan, a nd was born in Bris-
tol, where he kept Il small news stand
onthe street. Six years a 90 he was stricken
with appendicitis and was confined To his
bed for long time. After awhile he grew
stronger and returned to his newspapers,
but il was only Tor n short. aIe.
The people OF the town were very fond OF
william-he was such an obliging little fel-
low-and determined to take care OF him.
They dubbed together md sent him To New
York, where he was examined by the best
surgeons, but all refused to operate upon
him. He then returned to Bristol last
March, and the people there sent him to
Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he has been
ever sinoc-
Regularly every week the committee OF
citizens i'll Bristol having him in charge are
advised of his condition and progress, and
Just as regularly do they make remittances
for his expenses. They have collected
enough money to pay all the boys expenses
at the hospital. Since March they have
paid So Il week.
Recently fair was held in Bristol for the
lads benefit, and from it the fund was
added to considerably. Perry will remain
atthe hospital duringth winter, ana should
his health permit. will return to Bristol in
the spring and open up newsstand, which
his townspcople will provide for him.

Just because a valve of a bicycle tire
leaks air over night is no reason why
it cannot be ridden with safety. II not
infrequently happens that a valve which
allows the air to escape slowly when the
bicycle is not in use Will serve its purpose
all ri ght when the machine 5 ridden.
The reason for this is that the air pressure
on the inside of the valve is increased by
the riders weight. and the washer thus
pressed firmly into its place, shutting off
the escape of air. OF course, such a valve
is not u good thing to have, but at the same
time rider may feel reasonably safe in
going out for a days run, even if his tire
was "flat"in the morning. In such case
though, il would be great mistake not TO
carry Il pump.

PATSY MAKES SUGGESTIONS.
Teheau Wants To Play Temple Cup
Games in Series of Two.


New York, Sept. 26.-Manager Hanlon
received telegram from Manager Tebeau
today suggesting that the Temple Cup dates
should be as follows: October l and 3 in
Baltimore. and in Cleveland, and
10 and 9 in Pittsburg.
Mr.. Hanlon says he can plainly see
that Tcbeau wants TO arrange the series
so rs to give Young and Cuppy plenty of
rest between games and so that one or
the other can pitch every one OF the
games; also that as few games possi-
ble be played in Baltimore. Manager
Hanlon will insist ON the first three games
in Baltimore next week, and says If
Tebeau wishes to transfer any of the
Cleveland games to PittsDurg he may do
so, but none of the Baltimore games shall
be played elsewhere.
Jennings is here, after having been to
Scranton and Wilkesbarre to arrange for
the exhibition games in those places Mon
day aud Tuesday. The Champions will get
4 great reception in Scranton, where Jen-
uings is well known and very popular.
They will be met by a committee and
baud, and on Monday night will be ten
dered Z grand reception and banquet Mt
Avoca, a small town near Scranton and
near which Jennings lives. The great
sbortstop's friends will turn out by the
hundreds to do honor to him and his
fellow champions.

on the Cleveland grounds on the first
three days of the following week. Should
each club win three games, Tebeau favors

Manager Allen announces as his attrac-
ton for the coming week a revival OF that
eyer-pOpular spectacle, The Black Crook"
The scenic features of this we'll kno wn spec
tacle have been many times presented to
local tEeater-goers, but never ID a more
elaborate form than az given by Mr.,
Tompkns' company. Tie organization is
said to be superior one, it having met
with approval from both the New York
and Boston public, where for many weeks
1t enjoyed run of the most prosperous
Character. The scenic pictures, as mat
ter OF course, adhere to the traditional
Crook but in the hallcts, marches and
vaudeville element improvements Of an
up-to-date character VIII readily be found.
A small army OF prenIiers, and coryphees
are employed, together with u host OF dra-
matte artists. As in all spectacular pro-
ductions, the ballet plays prominent part.
In. this particular instance there have been
introductions of a most novel terpschorean
character. The Ballet OF Gems which
presents u number OF pretty faces and
sbapely figures, is a decided novelty. which
has thoroughly caught the theater-going
public of both New York and Boston. The
dapce of Popular Airs" is also of a
taking character, representing that happy
combination OF both music aud movement
in the character of songs of the day. The
vaudeville contingent represents such artists
as the brothers Borani, disappearing de-
mons; Mardo, remarkable equllihrst: the
sisters Young, and Miss We're Wilson, while
the popular tramp, S. s. Whitback, brings
up the. Iear-
The dramatic portion of the orraDiza-
ton is made up OF select timber, and pre-
