DR.. scHoLLE's WARD.
Adopt. n Porto Rican Lad Found In
the Bushes.
From the Baltimore Sun.


DR.. Ferdinand II. Scholle resident ply
sican at the Baltimore University Hospi-
tai, has returned from Ponce, Porto Ri
CO. He left Baltimore August 10 and was
assigned to the surgical staff of the Nine
teenth Infantry. United States Regulars,
in command of Capt. Leefe.
DR.. Scholle had number of interesting
experiences. Perhaps the most Interest,"
ing is his adopting a native Porto Ri
can. bright boy of ten years of age He
is known as Monwell. The boy was capt
ured after a skirmish by part of the
command. All of the natives had been
routed, when noise was heard In the
bushes nearby. The command to come
out" was given and the boy yelled not to
shoot and came out naked. He was taken
in charge by the members of the COM
mand and taken into camp. The officers
questioned the boy and found that his
father and mother had been shot his
home burned and he was left alone in
the world. DIR. Scholle took especial in
terest in the boy and found that he was
bright and picked up English well and
taught the doctor a great deal of Span
ish. Later Dr.. Schoole purchased for the
boy a uniform and took him under his
care. In less than three weeks the boy
could count in Enuglish and could call the
titles of the officers and say other things
He was drilled. and on one occasion made
march of forty miles with the COM
mand.
DR.. Schoile was to have brought the
boy home with him, but as he came on a
hospital ship the boy and the doctor :
baggage, including his horse. remained
behind. AS soon as possible DR.. SchoIle
will send for the boy and his baggage.
Upon his arrival in Baltimore the doctor
will send the boy to school and will look
after his training

nurdened With RoosereIt.

The contest in New York was really
between two bosses. On the Republican
side there was no paramount issue be-
yond the personality of Croker, no spe-
cial direction of attention to any impor-
tant principle, but distinct effort to
withdraw il from the canal matter. In
the closing days of the work the affir-
nation that the fa.e of the Philippines
depended on Republican success was
made with reckless and persistent men,
dacity On the Democratic side there
was an evasion of every party doctrine,
and the canal fraud was the only sub
ject that was seriously discussed. The
most vigorous of Republican work was
that against Croker. who was charged
with an ambition to extend his domina-
ton to the State at large and with an
assault on the independence of the ju-
dietary. The Bar Association was
drummed into real or pretended panic.
1t had never before discovered the sur
passing virtues of Judge Daily, and
would have found plenty of reasons
for fighting him if he had been renom-
mated by the Democrats. In spite,
however, of all other considerations,
Platt saved himself by the characters
tic precaution of unloading Black, who
was made the scapegoat for the canal
| boodlers.
| 1t is positive that only within the last
fortnight has Platt begun to hope. A
! month ago he was without thought of
Republican success. The apathy of the
Republicans because of the canal frauds
and Algerism was deep and threaten
| ing. but 1t was overcome chiefly by the
bugaboo of Croker and the piteous cry
for the preservation of the fruits of our
victory over Spain. That there should
have been a doubt of Republican sue
| cess after the war and that the most
F, desperate methods of campaigning
| should have been necessary to prevent
| defeat, is a serious arraignment of the
Administration. Not in Presidential
| election is there usually harder work
than was done by the Republicans in
the past two weeks.
Senator Platt will receive congratu-
lations with smiling face and a dole
| ful or doubling heart He has elected
a man he naver wanted and did not ex-
pect to have on his hands, and the spec
tacle of the Roosevelt regime at Albany
will be the amazement of gods and men.
| There is no reason to doubt that we
shall have a repetition of the scenes at
the police headquarters, on a larger
scale and with legislature as the OBJ
ject of his hectoring and egotistical in
| reference. Senator Platt will deplore
the result of the election more than the
Democrats While the latter are nat
urally disappointed, 1t will not be long
before they will realize the benefit of
having the unique Roosevelt in the
chair at Albany. The effect on the elec-
| tions of 1900 will more than compensate
for any present chagrin. It has been a
