HOLLANDER'
 AWFUL PLAN
 OF REVENGE "Brandy Jim" "Blaine's Rival Enlisted. BUT AFTERWARD RELIEVED OTHERWISE THE SPANISH DoNs MIGHT BE TREMBLING. Madeleine Bouton's Brave "Boy" Was Only Deferred From the
 Field by Thoughts of
 Dear Ones.
| BUT AFTERWARD RELIEVED
OTHERWISE THE SPANISH DoNS
 MIGHT BE TREMBLING.

Not content with having vanquished Captain Blaine-more popularly known as Brandy Jim"-Sumner R. Hollander paused for q moment in the swirl of his rose leaf life on Thursday and determined to obliterate Spanish rule in the islands of the Philippines by joining the First New York Volunteers.
 But the eternal afterthought changed his plans, and now Sumner has decided to return to Boston and the home of his an- cestors where all Is eternal peace and | beans.
 The story of the Hollander boy Is one of many tints and phases. His career has been punctuated with the popping of wine corks, and he has been popularly branded as a good fellow.
 When Sumner R. Hollander determined | to become a private in the ranks of the First New York Volunteers 1t was almost q foregone conclusion that the waves of | the Pacific from the Golden Gate to the | Hawaiian Islands would be speckled with the corks that popped from the fragrant and effervescent wines of Champagne.
 The news that Sumner R. Hollander. | the young Bostonian who was willing to sacrifice his life for the heart of a maid playing upon the stage, was about to | join the First New York Regiment was l greeted with the widest enthusiasm by | the privateS and non-commiSioned officers of that organization.
 To be sure there were other young men of unlimited means and unquenchable | thirst in the ranks of the First New York, but there is always room for an other opener, no matter how exclusive or crowded the set may be.
 | Sumner K. HOliander, after winning the heart of Madeleine Bouton of the Fraw- | ley Company and vanquishing the son of great American, grew weary of his triumphs and longed for other fields to | conquer. So he bethought himself and determined to link his fortune with the fate of the gallant First New York Vol l unteerS.
 First he called on Captain Oracle of | Company B and communed with him for a while. He told him he wanted to be soldier; that he was tired of life and that 1 burned he wished to erect a structure that could be chronicled among the shrines of the dogs of war.
 Captain Oracle argued with him and explained to him the succession of hard ships and deprivatiqns that fall to the l lander was obdurate and insisted on en- listing. So he was turned over to Cap tain Staats, the recruiting officer. That
 To Captain Staats he told his story The captain assured him that while he was pleased to have such a parsonage ap- gallant First New York he was was afraid that the hurly burly life about the camp fire would be too fatiguing for young | ordering of a waiter to put another | bottle on ice"
 l But Hollander protested and nnally Captain Staats consented to seriously ac- | cepting him as q recruit. At o'clock 1 on Wednesday evening they parted with the understanding that Hollander was to enlist in the First New York on Thurs day. That afternoon Hollander Is said to have wired his folks that he was going to wade in the seas of blood that swash the shores of the Philippines as private in the First New York Volunteers. For a few moments the wires between the | Palace Hotel and Boston were hot with dots and dashes going. to and coming from the elder and the younger Hol- | lander.
 At the expiration of the affair on the ticker young Hollander. who had quelled the flame of Brandy Jim' Blaine's duel-
 stic desires and ta momentariiy captured announced that he had no further ambi- ton to become a soldier,
 When Captain staats. the recruiting or heard of Hollander's determination he was greatly depressed. and the men of the | First New York Regiment were sad and downcast at the dol,eful tidings For even mirthful "opener" is a consolation, and therefore something to be desired,
 Last night Sumner R; Hollander lounged twirling costly cane and smoking cis- arettes When asked why he had fore gone his determination to join the First | New York Volunteers he said: Really speak What my private reasons were | for giving up my intention to ally my | fate with the troops Is not of public ron- cern You will pardon me for not going upon the matter in the light of a joke.
 And that Is the reason why Sumner R.. HolIander will not bathe In the bloooi of the Spaniards at the Philippines O. open wine for the privates of the First.
