Oakley HALL FOUND HIMSELF.
Woke Up Months After Leaving New
York In London Lodgings.

Woke Up Months After Leaving New
York In London Lodgings.
Oakley Hall was once connected with
an American paper in London. His
aim here was to achieve a high name
at the English bar, says Julian Ralph,
writing from London to the Provi-
dence Journal. He was the son of an
Englishman and therefore he was in
English law an Englishman whenever
he chose to declare himself He made
no success because he lived wholly
in the past and his mental inclina-
lions were solely reminiscent. From
the day of his mysterious disappear
ance from New York he lost the power
to utilize his brain in any way that
could earn him a living. When he
returned from Europe after that dis
appearance he and | were closeted for
months together in the office of Mr..
Hulberts New York World Then it
was that he told me the truth about
his disappearance, and without know
ing whether or not it has been pub
lished in America, | will repeat it
briefly. He said that one morning he
woke up in hall bed room in May
fair, in the heart of London, and as
lay in bed looking with wonder at his
surroundings, a woman knocked and
entered the room. She asked him If
he would have his usual breakfast.
He inquired what his usual break
fast was, and she, astonished in her
turn, told him that he always had a
pennyworth Of tea, penny roll,
penny pot OF butter and an egg which
cost a penny He asked her to sit
down and then, by cross examining
her, he found that he had lived
whole season in that house under
name he never knew; that he ap-
peared to be city man English for
man in business; that he went out
every morning, came back every even
ing, went very frequently to the
theater and was the quietest, most ir-
reproachable of all her dodgers. I'm
a word, he said, Il had lived the life
of another man for months, uncon-
scious of my own identity, unrecog-
nized by any one and fulfilling the
we'll rounded half of dual existence"

ing the voyage he had nearly killed
three of our men for being slow in
sending down the top-gallant yards on
a squally night He beat them until
they were black and blue with hand
spike, and kept them for forty-eight
hours, dashed to ringbolts in the ice
scupppers, that the sea might break
over them, as he said and cure their
sores
When | interfered to save a poor
cabin boy, whom he had hung up by
the heels from the main-boom, and was
scourging with heavy colt till his
back was covered with blood, he pro-
duced bowie knife and revolver,

Just at that moment we were pass
ing Spanish ship Of war which was
at anchor in the bay. about half a mile
from us, and had the red and yellow
jack of CASTLE and Leon flying at his

had been so severely beaten was then

signal of distress to the Spaniard."

JAPANESE WRESTLERS.
Their Physical Development In the Light
OF Some Statistics,

OF SOme SIbtistlSs,
Although the American is willing to
concede to the Japanese the possession
Of mental activity almost, if not
quite, equaling that of the majority OF
white races, he is apt to form a some
what sighting opinion of him as
viewed from physical standpoint
The specimens met with in this coun-
try do not convey a favorable i'm
preston of their athletic powers
After, however, reading an account OF
the physical measurements of some OF
the most prominent Japanese wres-
tiers, a more respectful attitude re-
garding the muscular development OF
these little men will probably be taken.
The Jill Shimpo has recently published
table giving the measurements of six
of the foremost japanese fighters.
From this table it is gathered that the
most bulky of these modern gladiators
weighs, at the age Of % years, about
300 pounds; height, 51a feet; girth OF
chest, So inches; lung capacity, ALSO
cubic centimeters; upper arm, IS
inches. Another one weighs over 2S0
pounds; height, 6 feet 5 inches; girth
Of chest, 4S inches; lung capacity,
5000 cubic centimeters; upper arm, 16
inches. The smallest of these fighting
men weighs more than 200 pounds.
measures in height feet inches,
while in lung capacity he exceeds them
all. There are few wrestlers or pugi-
lists in this or any other country who
attain to these dimensions, and those
who have seen some of the best ex-
ponents Of japanese wrestling are
willing to back them when pitted
against the pick of the European or
American experts, as it is said that
they are as skillful as they are power

to have made $4,000 at least, clear
profit, this year out of his fishing fleet.
So say the wisest Of the Bucksporters,

olson Of that town and to his business
prosperity. Cap'n Tom is one Of the
few men in Bucksport, Me-, who are
worth more than 100000, and when he
started in life he hadn't cent or

When he was IL years of age he made
his first trip to sea-went fishing on
the Grand Banks in Buckport

tinued to catch Goldfish on shares az
one of the crew. The shares were lib
eral in those days, however, and the
men who were willing to work extra
hours, stealing the time from their
watch below, used to make good
deal of money by cutting out the Gods
tongues and sounds and picking them
for the home market, those parts OF
the fishes being. by custom. thrown

Capn Tom is bachelor, aged about
40 years. Often he may be seen at

thinks of nothing but his fishing vss-
sells.

being prominent. At that time he Wis
tied New York but was ostracised by
society because of his escapades. At
that time, also, the dukes financial
affairs were in bad way, chiefly, 1t
should be stated. because of the reck-
less extravaganza of his brother,
known as the Red Earl" whom he
succeeded in 1882. Shortly after his
visit to this country the earl turned
over a new leaf to such effect that at
present he is regarded as model hus-
band. His estates have been managed
with such skill that he is now one of
the richest men in England. He has
distinguished himself as an arctic ex-
plorer, and he is probably the most
intimate friend of both the prince of
Wales and the German emperor. He
owns nearly 10000 of land in West
moreland and Cumberland counties.
