MAUSER BULLETS.
Strangest Cases Of Injury
Known to Surgery.
Men With Eight GunshOt Wounds
Through and Through Hits.
Brother of Maui Man.

NEW YORK July 1.-THE chartered
transport Olivatte, which arrived off
quarantine last night with ZIP wounded
soldiers from Cuba, locked today at the
foot Of Pacific street, Brooklyn.
Among the wounded men are some
of the most extraordinary cases Of
injury known to surgical history.
There are men who can show as many
as eight bullet holes and by all the
traditions of surgery they ought to be
dead. Men who were shot through the
kidneys, liver or lungs, are able to
walk around. \ soldier who was shot
straight through the brain has lost
the sight of one eye, otherwise he is
sound. Another man who was shot
through the head just above the ears
was able to sit up the day after the
boat left Cuba.
Most Of the wounds We're clean cut,
and the bullets when removed were
not deformed. Although we found
nothing to complain of in this line, We
found something which we regarded
as much wOrse-bulIets cased in brass
Verdigris formed on the jacket Of the
bullet before it was extracted. and re-
suited in suppuration of poisonous
character.
The worst wound to be found upon
the ship is borne by Norman Orme. Of
Company E, First Volunteer Cavalry
the Rough Riders. The Spanish bullet
struck Orme in the left arm, just above
the elbow, and pierced it. Passing
out. it entered the upper arm, produc-
inc a fracture. The bullet passed out
again and entered Orme's body, just
below the left armpit, ranging down
ward. passing through his lung and
finally was checked by q rib. Orme
has a very good chance for recovery.
The bullet must have passed the mans
heart between beats-between the
diastole and syst0la and so escaped

Orme has a brother on MaUi)

RENTING CATS.
The Queer Calling In Which n Cali
fOrEia Rccluse Finds COnsid-
cradle Profit,

There is an odd little man named
Echnier who lives in an odd little house
in the heart of the busiest portion of
San Francisco who earns his bread odd
ly enough. His business is the raising
of cats, which he puts into warehouses,
stores, and other places infested with
rats and mice, and his income is derived
from payment for the services of his
pets.
Raising cats is my business" he
said. I'VE get along all right, don't
we, llitty?" Kitty settled down on his
knee and purred her answer.

And the cats! IF there were many in

''Well, l tell you now," replied the
lad, Il didn't half quarter like the job
till I had this talk with you, John; but
there's my hand on it now"
"And q brave lad you were, and
smart, too,' answered Silver, shaking
hands so heartily that all the barrel
shook, "and a finer fgure-head for a
gentleman of fortune never clapped
my eyes on"
BY this time I had begun to under
stand the meaning of their terms. By
gentleman of fortune" they plainly
meant neither more nor less than a
common pirate, and the little scene
that I had overheard was the last act
in the corruption of one of the honest
hands-perhaps of the last one left
aboard. But on this point I was soon
to be relieved, for Silver giving little
whistle, third man strolled up, and
sat down by the party.
''Dick's square," said Silver.
"Oh, I knowed Dick was square,"

IT WAS NO USE.
Goldsmith Could Not Work with an
Am0nncnafa

It is said that Goldsmith, much al
he disliked exertion and trouble, either
literary or other, was unable to avail
himself of the help of an amanuensis.
''How do you manager" he one day
asked a friend, desperately.
ooh, easily" said the other, an author
of many voluminous but short-,ived
works. II walk about the room and die
tate to clever man, who puts down cor
rectly all that tell him; all that have
to do is just to look over the manu-
script and possibly make a few cor
rections before sending it to the press"
The indolent doctor was delighted
with this idea and ordered the "clever
man" in question to be sent to him the
next day. The amanuensis arrived, and
sat. pen in hand, waiting for the dicta-
ton to begin.
Goldsmith paced the room with great
solennity at first and then with rapidly
increasing disturbance of mind and fea-
lures. At last he came to sudden. halt
before the waiting scribe and thrust his
hand into his Pocket.
