LONDON, Aug. 25.-The Leader

burg correspondent saying that the sus-
pension of M. Vonderweiss, millionaire
of that city, has produced a depressing eff
feet on the bourse and in financial circles.
His capital was estimated to have been be-
tween fifty and sixty million rubles from
25.OOO,O 900 to $3o,0O0.000), but after his
debts are paid he will hardly have left six
million rubles ($3, 600. .000). His fortune was
largely sunk in group Of undertakings,
each one supporting the other. He re-
garded one of the most extensive systems
of railroads in Russia as his own, and he
was connected with this road and with a
number Of steamers plying on the Volga
and the Caspian Sea, a machine factory,
an insurance company, cement factory,

toff. who has suspended for 24,000,000 ru-

BULLET STOPS SUFFERING.
The Novel Eject of a Wound In the
Mouth of SOL
dier.

Do you stutter? Get shot in the
mouth with a mauser bullet and YOU
will stutter no more. 1t is kill or cure
remedy, but one case at least is on rec
ord where it has cured without killing.
The other cases of suffering people
being shot in the mouth cannot be re-
ported on, as all the patients died. Pri-
yate II. Z. Redmond, company c, First
Colorado volunteers, the star stutterer
of the Eighth army corps, is the man
who proved the success of the mauser
bullet cure for suffering. An Ana
conda volunteer writes to his rela-
tives of the case. The young man at
the time was q patient in the first re-
serve hospital near Manila. He writes:
There has been an odd case here
in the hospital. II. E. Redmond, a pri-
vate in c company of the Colorado regi-
ment, has been cured of suffering by
a mauser bullet. That's what he says,
anyway. He was shot in the mouth by
a mauser bullet at the battle of Mar
quina, March 81. The bullet passed
downward, and came out near the nape
of the neck. Redmond recovered rap
idly and has now just left the hospital.
ALI you can see of the hole where the
bullet went in is little scar just above
his upper lip and alongside his nose.
Previous to being shot Redmond is
said to have been the worst sufferer
in the Eighth army corps. Idon't know
how he passed the physical examiners,
but he got in somehow, and all kinds
OF stories are told about his suffering.
When 1t the Presidio, San Francisco,
he was on sentry duty one night and
when grand rounds came around he got
suffering and could not challenge
them. The result was that he was put
in the guardhouse for neglect of duty.
At Marquina, and, in fact. every en-
gagement in which he took part. Red
mond kept all near him laughing by
his suffering attempts to curse the
negroes. He was always good humored
about it, and everybody likes him.
"Now, although he has suffered
from the time he was born, he speaks
as freely as you or 1. When first wound
ed he could not talk at all except with
great pain. but when the wound healed
he. had lost his suffering, and he is so
overjoyed at his cure that he talks
most of the time" e."-Anaconda Stand

HARD FIGHT WITH SHARKS.
Two California Fishermen have q
Thrilling Experience and Nar-
row Escnpes.

Guy Ames ard W. A. Graham, two
fishermen at Newport Beach, Cal, had
thrilling experience the other day
with two monster sharks while fish
ing with heavy lines fastened ashore.
The men were cruising about the lines
in small sl1iff, when they discovefed
that two of the lines had hooked two
sharks, one fully 12 feet and the other
more than 20 feet long. Having no fire.
arms, the men concluded to try to stun
the monsters by rowing close to where
they had risen to the surface and strfk-
ing them on the head with heavy
club. This was done to the larger one,
but it was almost fatal mistake for
both fishermen. One infuriated deep
sea monster lashed and churned the
water about the boat, striking it sew
eral times with such force that the
fishermen expected to see it rent into
splinters. At every opportunity the
club descended upon the head of the
shark. for the fishermen then realized
that it was life or death fight.
IuG DlOWS lIOlu INC CluO Culut sO
hard and so fast that the efforts of the
sharks were redoubled, when the shore
line gave way. Finding themselves
free, the man-eating sharks both start
ed seaward with the small boat in tow
The craft shot through the water at
terrific speed, estimated by Ames and
Graham at so knots, but they steadied
the skiff, momentarily expecting to
reach Honolulu, when finally the larger
of the two sharks, with an extra squirt,
tore loose from the hook and disap-
peared.
The smaller shark stopped, appar-
emily exhausted, when the fishermen,
taking advantage of the opportunity
offered them, rowed alongside, dealing
it terrible blow on the head with the
club and stabbing it several times in
vital spots with lance fixed on the
end of pole. The shark was too big
to tow back to the shore, SO they ex-
tracted its liver, which yielded six GAL
Ions of oil. The men were three hours
rowing back over the distance which the
team of sharks had towed them in less
than eight minutes. Both the men
aver that with team of trained sharks
they believe they could run over to
Manila with a hurry order" in less
than three days.
