HAS 4 NEW NOSE.
Sergeant Freeman Lost His Natural
One at Omdurman.
From london Public Oniniou

An interesting fact has just come to light
which strikingly exemplfies the wonderful
strides of modern science. 1t is a case in
which a warrior from the great battle of
Omdurman, who suffered serious facial
Disagreement, has had his Disagreement
obliterated, and his features made to ap-
pear to all intents and purposes as perfect
as if nothing had happened. In short, he
had the greater part of his nose cut clean
off, and he has been provided with a new
nose. This hero of the Soud3n, by name
Sergeant Freeman, is member of the DIST
Lancers, and he took part in the memora-
BILE charge at Omdurman. During the
charge one of the lieutenants of the lancers
was attacked by a Dervish, who, getting
hold of the officers right hand, in which
he carried his lance, commenced industri-
ously saving at the wrist with his sword.
with the evident intention of SeVering the
hand. Sergeant Freeman was fighting his
way through a bunch Of Dervishes WHEN he
heard the young officer, who was Lieut..
Meacham, cry out, and turning saw the
predfcament In which he placed. He
made a dash for the spot. and, running his
lance through the Dervish, saved the lieu
tenant. However, at the next moment he
was confronted by two Deryishes who
wildly slashed at him with their swords.
He parted the blows, and killed them
both in turn, buts one terrific blow from a
sword came so near to ending his life as
to strike his nose and carry away the
lower cartilage as far as the upper lip.
Freeman invaded home, and be-
came an inmate at Netley Hospital. He
ultimately recovered, and was sent by Col.
Martini who was in command of the 2lst
Lancers In the great battle, to consult Mr.
Groves, J.. d. s., r. c. S., of Wolv erhanp-
ton, who has become famous for his re-
storatioD of facial disfigurements Mr.
Groves, in spite of exceptional difficulties
has treated the case with complete sue
cess. An artificial substitute for thu nat
urai organ has been built up, so that the
injury is DprceDtib1a
man leaves England early next month for
Cairo to rejoin his regiment He has proved
himself a gallant and heroic soldier and
1T Is pleasant to know that he goes back
to Egypt apparently none the worse for
his awkward experience having been saved
from lifelong and unsightly Disagreement
Mr. Groves himself thus describes the
means by which he gave the sergeant his
new nose: The artificial organ is first
nodded from a plaster model of the face
and then worked up in platinum and vul-
ca1fte, and painted and fired, until the
artificial production becomes an exact re-
production of the lost feature

TOO MICH PROSPERITY.
Sad Case of the Editor of the Free

From the Cleveland Leader.
The editor of the Free Silver Banner
bent over his desk and wrote. Hot. scath-

He denounced the government in the
most fiery sentences at his command. He
drew pathetic pen pictures Of the misery

boots 'The monopoly organs boasted OF
the return of prosperity, but where was
this prosperity? Who had seen it? Surely
not the people who were compelled TO earn
their bread in the sweat of their brows."
AS he got warmed up to his work the
editor fairly ground his teeth. lie tossed
off sheet after sheet of matter that was
calculated to show how all this misery

From tie Philadelphia Record
Among the varied attractions offered by

Mr.. Bartlett declared that the greatest

from the Philippines under the heaviest
system OF taxation was S12,O00,0O0. We

When the paragraph appropriating S2o,-

His point of order was that the para

amendment. If the treaty of Paris were
complete, if it were vitaliZed by the ratifi-
cation of the Spanish cortes and the ex-

position.
Mr. Hopkins Qll.) who was in the chair
called the attention of Mr.. Wheeler to
the fact that the treaty had been ratified
by the Senate ard signed by the President.
What else, he asked. was necessary to
create liability upon the part of the
United States?
In reply, Mr. Wheeler said that the Span
ish cortes might refuse to ratify the treaty
and it could not become law until the other
nigh contracting party had consented to
it. He was opposed to the appropriation
on principle, he said, and he proposed to
take advantage of every techr icality to
defeat it.
Appropriation Ruled Out.
Mr.. Hopkins in the chair sustained the
point of order, and the appropriation was

A Misrepresented General

The attacks on General OTIS
are mostly due to ignorance.
Those who have been criticising
him for lack of vigor did not
know that he has not had at any
time as many as 5000 men avail
able for campaign. All the
rest of his army were volunteers
whose time had expired, who
were impatlcntIy awaiting trans
pOrtatiOn home, and who could
only be used for repelling at
taciZs in the immediate neighbour
hood of Manila. TO pursue the
natives into the interior was i'm
possible.
Criticisms of the general for
staying closely IN Manila were
equally unjust. Manila, filled
with people in sympathy with
the insurgents and having with
In it's borders sometimes as many
as 5000 sick and helpless Ameri-
can soldiers, was the real place
Of danger, the only place for the
general liz command. If OTIS had
left Manila and had gone after
the gloricS to be won only in
action, he would have deserved to
be dismissed from the army.
Until the full truth about the
feeling in Manila and the hospital
conditions there IS published, the
measure OF Genera! Otis's SER
vices cannot be taken.
Manila was the danger spot
and he stayed there, using all Of
his 5000 reg ulars whc were we'll
enough for duty as garrison to
guard the sick and hold the in
surgent sympathjZsrs in awe.
General OTIS dared not leave and
dared not send away his garri-
son on interior campaigns.
Very few of those who so
harshly critic,se General Otis
know the difference between a
battalion and a platoon.

Shaw COnfesses

Philadelphia, Sept. 14.-Eli
Shaw of Camden, Pa, was twice
tried for the murder of his moth
er and grandmother, and both
times acquitted. Yesterday he
confessed that he committed the
awful crime.
Shaw confessed the crime to a
confidential friend named Eugene
Darrell, who was arrested IN
Camden yesterday and gave
away the information. Armed
with Darnell's confession, Shaw
was confronted with it and finally
forced to acknowledge the crime,
but coolly said he had been tried
and acquitted of the charge and
nothing could be done to him
now, as the law would not allow
a man to be tried twice FOR the
same offense.
The news that Shaw had con-
fessed his brutal crime has arous-
ed great Indignation against him.
