USED BLANK CARTRIDGES
Suffered Horribly Until He Found
Out There Were No Bullets

A comedy tragedy of an unusual nature
was enacted In Paris In the early hours OF
the morning after q masked ball at the
opera Disappointment in love drove q man
named Morice. alias lie Marquis. to fire two
blank shots from a revolver into his mouth.
But NJ. Morice thought his weapon was
loaded with ball cartridge, ana so strong
was his imagination that he was dying
and allowed himself to be carried away
to the Lariboisiere hospital to have the bull
let's extracted.
M. Morice was examined by a resident
pupil Of the hospital, who found, much
to his surprise, that he was in a remarkably
satisfactory condition for man so danger
ously wounded. However, there were no
signs Of the two bullets having issued from
the patients head, and 1t seemed absolutely
necessary that they should be extracted.

small amount of powder and no bullet.

he arrived at the moment the doctors were
discussing the possibility Of an operation.
NJ. Morice, stretched upon bed, was
listening in anguish to the doctors con-
versation as to the danger to the opera
ton. He was astonished to hear he was
so dangerously injured, but supposed it
must be so since the doctors spoke so pos

His anguish was suddenly turned into
Joy when NJ. Corvette told his story M.

A French Academy Reception

Water in Chickamauga Park

Those who do not know anything about
Chickamauga park are raising objections
to 1t as a place for the concentration Of
troops. One newspaper says it won't serve
as a camp for a large body of troops be-
cause of the scarcity Of water. There was
enough water on it thirty-five years ago
to supply over hundred thousand men.
Crawfish spring at that time poured out
crystal stream that supplied tho cam
teens Of all the divisions that came on the
field by that road. The plan Is now to carry
the water of that spring to wherever it may
be needed in the camps. That water is good
enough for anybody, and the stream 1t
feeds is a serviceable one. The park would
be good training ground for work in bat
tie. 1t is rough ground, but battles are
fought In that sort of country.-Chicago

Petroleum in Paint Explodes

Explosions caused by paint mixed with
petroleum ether are said to have occurred
frequently of late in England. The adj
mixture Of petroleum ether is made to
hasten the drying Of the paint. Aside from
the recent accidents with such paints in
the interior of vessels. attention is called
to the fire in former years on the man-of-
war Dotterel, where ISL persons lost their
lives. Hence great caution is recommended
in employing such paints. In closed rooms
their use Should be entirely prohibited.

When Dewey day was celebrated in
Montpelier, VT, the birthplace of that
hero, the staid old place took on an un-
accustomed look of hilarity and liveli
ness.
AS the order had gone forth from
"headquarters" that no arrests for
drunkenness were to be made that day,
the inhabitants of the temperance
town" felt that they could be real
devilish" for once, and the drug stores
sold dozens of bottles of Jamaica gin
ger, the favorite tipple in a state where
the sale of anything stronger than ci-
der three weeks old is prohibited by
law.
The schoolhouse where Dewey went
to school is still standing on one of
the streets of Montpelier. 1t has been
through many vicissitudes, has been a
public school, a parochial school, and
is now tenement house.
On Dewey day every window had a
flag in it, and the old building was COW
cred with bunting and glory.
Early in the morning a man was seen
coming down the principal street of the
town carrying a long piece of canvas
under his arm. Something in his man
ner, which was at once mysterious and
important, reused the curiosity of the
reporter, who asked him where he was
going.

SHORT RATIONS
Western Section of the War Inquiry
Commission Takes Unimportant
Testimony at Detroit

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. l0.-The Western
section of the War Investigation Commits
sion today began the examination of wit
nesses at the Hotel Cadillac. Major Corliss
of the Seventh Infantry was the first wit
ness. During the war the Major was in
camp at Chickamauga and Tampa, went to
Cuba with the army of occupation, was
wounded at the battle OF El Caney and re
turned to New York on the transport Sen
eca. At FL Caney he said his men We're sup
piled with fair quantity of rations, but
there was some growing. After being wound
ed the Major was an inmate OF several Gu
ban hospitals, and in all of them, he says,
he Jared very well.
'rhere were two contract surgeons on
board the Seneca" said the Major, "but they
could not get any thermometers OF any deli
caces for the sick except little matted
milk and cereals. Most of the supplies were
obtained at the last moment, think, from
the Relief. There was one nurse on board,
Mrs. Jennings"
DR.. Connor-Do You know whether any
effort was made by those medical officers to
secure supplies except from the Relief?
Major Corliss-I do not. The Relief was
asked to furnish a certain amount of drugs
when it was discovered that there was not
sufficient quantity on board the Seneca
The men were fairly well taken care of, not
withstanding the scarcity of supplies.
General Dodge read statement reported
to have been made by soldier of the Sev-
enth Regiment, to the effect that positions
as Corporal were readily obtained by pay
ing stipulated price.
THAT is lie!" responded Major Corliss.
First Lieutenant O. B. Rosenbaum, Quar-
termaster Seventh Infantry, testified that
he was with the regiment in Cuba from the
time it left Tampa until it reached NIontauk
Point, August 9th. His statements were
that the men Jared fairly we'll as to food
throughout the campaign. Witness COM
mand returned to Montauk on the Iucatan
and the men were well taken care of, accord
ing to his testimony.
Captain Charles Booth, Seventh Infantry,
testified that he returned with three other
companies aboard the auxiliary cruiser Pra-
rie, which had accommodations for carry
ing troops There were no regular nurses
aboard and the two doctors, witness con-
sidered, were young and inexperienced and
hardly qualified to cope with the conditions,
especially as one of them was ILL., Captain
Booth said the men were all in such misera-
bic condition from malarial poisoning on
reaching Montaul Point that their stomachs
would retain nothing.

Aguinaldo's Argument

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. l0.-The steam
ship Belgic arrived today from Hong Kong
and Yokohama, via Honolulu. Among the
passengers was Il. W. Harden, a special
commissioner of the state department, who
was sent to Manila to report on the resources
of the Philippines. lie said that Aguinaldo
has established headquarters at Malolo,
thirty miles from Manila; that he has 10000
Mauser rifles, thousands of rounds of am
munition and has cartridge factory in full
operation. He is importing arms all the
time, getting most of them from American
firms, and, Mr.. Harden says, carries on these
operations under the eyes of the military.
He maintains a regular government, col
lecting export and import duties at all
ports but Manila. He pays his soldiers
but little, and they seem satisfied to be
clothed and fed.
The feeling among the Philippines in fa-
vor of an independent government is exceed
ingly strong, and it will take great deal
of time and many men to subdue them
should they resort to arms. Mr.. Harden
speaks ill of the military authorities, who
he claims, have been vacillating in their
policy, creating friction and losing advan
tages gained and permitting the insurgents
to get in a position where they can give
much trouble.
Jutare Kemura, minister-elect to the
United States government from the imperial
Japan government, was also a passenger on
the Belgic. He comes to succeed Minister
lIoshi. He will go To Washington almost
Immediately.
Keicheeng Vie, son Of Shin Fon, envoy ex-
traordinary and minister plenipotentiary
from the Korean government, was also a
passenger on the Belgic. He is to assume
position in the Korean legation at Wash
