New York Friends Anxious For I'm
mediate Health of Pugilist.

New York. Dec. 1-Rumor here has
it that Kid Mccoy is a victim of
quick consumption. McCoy's appear
ance is said to be shocking to his
friends. He is pale, bleary- eyed and
looks like a badly overturned man,
with hardly any energy in him. Mccoy
himself acknowledges that he has very
weak lungs, but says that nothing
more serious than lung fever is trou-
bling him at the present time. He adj
mits that he is slightly overturned and
that a. rest of three or four weeks will
benefit him. Mccoy will not discuss the
seriousness of the malady which is
troubling him and SCOTS at the quick
consumption story.

Ottawa, Dec 1.-The Medic Ottwa
university football game here Thanks
giving resulted in a score of u to 0 in
favor of the Medics. The Ottawas lost
the game on account of some costly
fumbles. In the first half the Ottawas
had the ball within three yards of the
goal and the next play it was carried
over the goal, but was fumbled when
the runner was tackled. A succession
of long runs aided by fierce end buck
ing and the Medics made a touchdown.
Lewis kicked goal. After this the game
was better but the MedicS showed their
superiority on end runs, the Ottawas
losing the ball on fumbles. In the sec
ond half Peterson and King, of Ottawa
were injured and substitutes We're put
in. This disheartened the team and the
Medics easily scored again.

The Gentleman's Magazine: DR.. Geo.
Fordyce, who came in 1862 from Edln-
burgh to London. very speedily made a
name for himself by series Of public
lectures on medical science. which he
afterwards published in volume end-
tied "EIements Of the Practice OF Phys
ic.' which passed through many edi-
lions. Unfortunately he was given to
drink, and though he never was known
to be dead drunk, he was often in q
state which rendered him UNIT for pro-
fessIonRl duties. One night when he
was In such condition he waS sudden
~ sent for to attend lady Of title who
was very I'll. He went, sat down. rs
tened to her story and felt her pulse.
He found he was not UP to his work;
he lost his wits. and In a moment Of for
getfulness he exclaimed: Drunk, by
Jove!" stu he managed 70 write out
a mild prescription.
Early next morning he received q
message from his noble patient to call
on her at once. DR.. Fordyce felt very
uncomfortable. The lady evidently
intended to upbraId him either with an
improper prescription or with his dis
graceful condition. But to his surprise
and relief she thanked him for his
prompt compliance with her pressing
summons, and then confessed that he
had rightly diagnosed her case. that
unfortunately she occasionally INDUCED
too freely In drink. but that she hoped
he would preserve lnviolable secrecy as
to the condition he had found her In.
Fordyce listened to her grave as judge
and said: You may depend upon me.
