Strangely Cured of Suffering.

The curious freaks the mauser bullet
has performed in its coursings through
the systems Of fighting Americans in
the late wars have resulted in some
queer tales. The latest is the expert
enec of Private H. E. Redmond, com
pany C, First Colorado volunteer in
fantry, who, when he enlisted, suffered
so badly that the recruiting officer came
near leaving him off the rolls. Private
Redmond was wounded in the battle of
Mariquina on March 81. Now, his
wound is healed and he shutters no
more, a mauser bullet struck him in
the face, passed diagonally downward
through his mouth, and made it's exit
near the back of the neck. 1t was con-
side-ed g frightful wound by the sur
geons, but Redmond proceeded to re-
cover even faster than patients with
less painful injuries. Now, all that can
be seen Of the wound is small, jivid
spot to the left of the nose and above
the upper lip. Redmond chews hard
tack with the greatest zest and tells
stories he has not been able o finish
in years on account Of his halting
speech. He insists that the mauser bull
let carried away his vocal impediment

POOR RILEY GRAMMAR.
Took His Wife to Europe With Him
Hopes to "Make Good"

New York, Feb. 15-There is much talk
over Riley Grannan's odd disappearance
and journey to Europe. He left behind
him debts aggregating $4,000, but took
his wife, Daisy Dixon. the actress, with
him. She stuck to him, and both sailed
in the second cabin of the st. Paul IN
der assumed names last Thursday
1t is claimed by some that he Hagged
his debts.
He fell in love with Daisy Dixon about
two years ago, and their marriage was
announced in San FRANCISCO shortly after
ward. They lived at the Baldwin Hotel
received by the couple. She is not a
brilliant actress, but is very shapely and
pretty.
Her acquaintance with Grammar began
at the race track near Oakland, where he
met her while she was playing with
burleSque company.
Grannan's financial reverses have SER
iously affected his health, and he was a
pretty sick man when he went aboard the
steamship with MS pretty bride
His friends think he will go to Italy or
the south of France for a year if he gets
the financial aid he is seeking and try
to build himself up.
Grammar will make good all right
said a gambler friend. All he wants is
time If the news of a man being broke
gets out the gang jump on him like a
pack of wolves. 1 think Riley is a very
wise guy. A real thing. They can't
bother him now a bit, and with no
knocks coming he'll come out all right
He'll made good. See if he don't

fore deciding to go there conferred with
Manager Tebeau. Tebeau was agree
able, and as Lotus thinks the springs
are the best of training places, it was
supposed everything was settled until
word came that Robson opposed the
plan of having another club at the
springs with the St. Louis team. Rob
ison's explanation was that a few years
ago the Pittsburg team went to the
springs at the same time St. Louis
trained there, and Robson thinks the
training of his men was impaired by
the presence of so many players. Rob
ison said if Chicago should come to the
springs he would take his team else
where and Hart then announced he
would abandon the idea of going there:

in English cities today is not. Shall the
city take over its uonoDolies? but
which monopolies shall it take over
nrst, and on what terms? Public own
ership of city monopolies is no longer a
theory. Multiplied experiences have
proved that it is a success in every
sense; that it lowers the cost and i'm
proves the quality Of the service; that
it shortens the hours and increases the
wages Of the workers; that it pays for
itself, and that at the same time it
purifies politics. On this last point, the
bette NOR OF public ownership in the
minds or some, time forbids me to dwell;
but the evidence that public ownership
tends to purify rather than corrupt
politics IS as conclusive as the evidence
that it serves directly the pecuniary in
terests OF consumer and laborer. Pri-
vate corporations now vote their hands
or tell them to come back to work If
the corporation candidate is elected. but
to stay away if he is defeated. Whoever
heard of such wholesale turning of the
rascals out even in the hey-day of the
spolis system? But public industry or
ganized under strict civil service reform
rule makes such atrocities impossible
-" We must fight the devil of monopo-
~ with the fire of public ownership

day follows the night. We may evade
smashing regulating, licensing and
taxing; but like the Hibernian's flea
ever absent from the seat of danger, or

grip the more surely it escapes, the
trust itself will drive US to the one and

Carthage, I repeat, must be destroyed
But Carthage today is not the huge in

signed primarily for the levying of tri-
butte, and secondly only for the SER
vice of the public rather than an insti-
tuition designed primarily for public
service and secondarily only for the

alton must be exactly reversed But as

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

1.-THE Moth and the Flame" presented
by the Herbert Kelley Effie Shannon
company, which comes to the Crawford
theater Saturday night, is an interest
ing, high-class drama, which reveals
something of the private life and social
environment of New York's ultra fash
ionable society. The children's party,
given by adults at the residence of a
society leader, with which the play
opens, is, of itself, &. revelation of the
frIVOlt1eS INDUCED in by the smart
set" and as such holds the mirror up
to nature" in a manner which is as
truthful and realistic as it is highly
interesting and entertaining. There is
more or less comedy in the piece, but
tragedy also plays a part and two of
the strongest situations of the play are
the climaxes at the close of the first
and second act, one revealing suicide
in high life, and the other, the denunci-
alton of an aristocratic scoundreI at a
swell society church wedding.
In the play, shaun Rhue." Larry
Donovan, the young Irish lad who be-
heves he is about to leave Ireland for
ever, visits his mothers grave and
sings the famous song, "A Handful of
Earth Shortly thereafter the plot
shows Larry disguised as a great, jolly,
tipple-loving, North of-Ireland man,
known as Red John, or Shaun Rhue"

created both characters, does an exceed

voN DER HORST STUBBORN.
Blocks Efforts to Reduce Circuit to
Eight Clubs.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. Hilary Won
der Horst is now the mountain in the
way of the National league baseball
magnates who want to make an eight
club league. Notwithstanding the
rumors of the sale of Cleveland and
Louisville, the reported disposition of
the WashingtOns by the wholesale, and
other indications which point to salts
factory negotiations in other quarters
with the circuit committee. Baltimore
is as firmly fixed in the National league
today as it was last year. Frank De
Haas Robson, who is still here trying
to work upon Won der Horst and Han
Ion, can not understand it, but acknowl-
edges that Won der Horst has blocked
all attempts to buy out Baltimore with
the single word No" and is still block
ing them.
won der Horst has taken this stand"
said Robson today, but confess am
at a loss to figure out why. The people
here seem to have gone back on him
completely. For the past several years
know now much more money Won der
Horst has lost in Baltimore than he has
made, and in the light of this knowledge
am puzzled at his insistence upon
running a National league team here.
The only question remaining is,
What can the league do in the face of
Won der Horst's determination not to
sell out? There has been good ground
while the Washington club was intact
for the belief that a ten-club schedule
would be formulated. Since Washing
ton seems to be in process of dissolu-
ton, Hanlon is guessing. He frankly
confesses to being entirely in the dark,
and the only thing he can say is that
no matter what any of the other clubs
do, the Baltimore owners expect to
keep this city in the National league.
Should the league see fit to buy out
three clubs, it would find itself with a
unwieldy problem, apparently, when
it comes to making a schedule

be taken first to West Baden and then
to some point down on the gulf coast,
probably Selma, Ala.
Hot Springs had to be abandoned on
account of the opposition of Frank De
