not have forced nutriment into his stom-
ach in this way, the boy would have died.
John was kicked In the face by horse
last Monday and his injuries were so se-
we're that 1t was thought at the time he
could not possibly recover
He was taken to the Eastern District
Hospital. and at once became one OF the
celebrated cases in the annals of that in
stitution. The surgeon In chief, Dr. Silas
c. Blaisdel took an especial interest IN
the boy. and called in a number of other
surgeons to consult about the best thing
to be done.
The operation of sewing up an healing
the boys lacerated mouth and his shat
tered cheek bones did not present very Sc
rious complications or difficulties; but the
important question was how the patient
was to live. The healing would require
some time. and during the entire period
II was necessary that the boys mouth
should be sewed up as tight as a drum
And yet food must be forced into the
stomach.
In desperate cases food is forced into
the stomach by means of an incison In
the throat, or even In the stomach. In
this case however, the physicians deter
mined to try the experiment of forcing
food through the nostrils. The operation
had been successfully attempted several
times before. and ID was thought that 1t
would be successful in the case of young
Fackenstark.
The operation was delicate In the ex-
treme, however, but 1t was found that a
catheter could be placed in the boys nose
and so passed into the oesophagus. BY
means of the catheter food in a LIQUID
form could be forced into the stomach
This process was so successfully carried
out that the boy has not only kept alive,
but is recovering rapidly from the effects
of his injuries. His mouth was operated
upon and is healing while his nose tenn
porariy performs It's functions and ena-
bles nature to work its cure undisturbed.

WERE SORE ON WOLCOTT.
Negro Had West Going, but Threw
Up the FlGht-Believed He Was
FnIsing About His Arm.

New York, Aug. 27.-The fight between
Tommy West and Joe Walcott, which
was the main attraction az the Twentieth
Century Club, in Madison Square Gar
den ended in a most peculiar manner to-
night The bout had gone eleven rounds,
very much in Walcottrs favor, as he had
punished West very badly about the body
and had him in a very weakened condi-
ton When the bell rang for the twelfth
round 20 the surprise of everybody, Wal
colt refused TO go on, claiming that he
had injured his left arm. Referee Char
ley White, suspecting crookedness, insist
ed on Walcott's continuing, but the ne
gro refused to resume
This left White no alternative other
than to declare West the winner. There
was quite a large sum of money up with
West the favorite, and the referee was
outspoken in reference to Walcotts pecu-
liar actions. White said:
"Waloott was not injured; he quit de-
liberately, and it was my candid, confirm
ed opinion that he was actuated In quit
ting by some dishonest motive. believe
that Walcott was encouraged 20 act as
he did by some person closely connected
with him. That he should act thus is no
surprise TO me, as he established a pre-
cedent for similar work in San Francisco
not so very long ago, and 1 think it WINS
a scheme 40 hurt the management of the
Twentieth Century Cub, which has all
along acted in good faith
Manager Kennedy, on behalf of the club
announced that Walcott's share of the
money would not be given to him. bu.
would be donated 10 some charitable in
stitution.

Gov. Roosevelt and Rose Coghlan were

that time. In size and markings the fe-
male was quite the most beautiful of
all the cat animals in the garden. Head
Keeper Maniey, who has handled Loop

leopard was ever seen in this country be-

FITz SIMMONS SAYS HE is THROUGH
WITH FIGHTING.
HE TRIED TO MEET JEFFRIES
THE CHAMPION REPLIED THAT HE.
is NOT NOW IN TRAINING.

Disappointed in His Effort to Ar
range ia Take ON Jeffries on Aug
81, Fitzsimmons Has Determined
to Retire-Brady, for Jeffries
Wanted to Arrange the Match for
IL Distant Date, but Fitz Would Not
Have 1t So.
New York, Aug. H.-Robert Fitzsimmons
tonight announced his retirement from
the pugilistic ring. He made an Intellectual
attempt to-day to get on a match for the
heavyweight championship with James j.
Jeffries, TO take place before the Horton
Law expires al midnight next Friday, and
tonight issued the following statement:
81 am through with fighting. l will re-
tire from the ring and will not claim the
championship from Jeffres. 1 am ready
and OH edge TO meet him next Friday
night, as his manager suggested ten days
ago, but as he claims he is in no condition
10 fight on that night 1 am through with
him and with the ring. Henceforth there
will be one man less in the heavyweight
division. for l will go out with the Horton
Law"
Fitzsimmons, with his manager, met
William A. Brady, representing Jeffries,
this afternoon. Last Saturday afternoon
Fitzsimmons deposited $2,50C to bind a
match between himself and Jeffries for
next Friday night, and Brady sent word
that he would meet Fitzsimmons to ar
range for a battle between Jeffries and
the ex heavyweight champion.
Fftzsimmons said he was ready and will
ing to meet Jeffries on Friday night be-
fore the Twentieth Century Club under
any conditions as 20 the division of the
purse or gate receipts which would suit
Brady. He said he would be satisfied for
the winner to take all or to split the purse
in half or to give 65 per cent. to the win
ner, or 60 per cent to the loser, or in fact
any terms SO that he could meet the pres
ent champion before the expiration of the
Horton law
Brady, in reply. said that Jeffries was
in no condition. as he had quit training
several days ago. He said it would be
unfair for Fitzsimmons to force a match
with a man physically unfit for such a
contest. Fitzsimmons replied that Jeffries
had had plenty of time to get into condi-
ton, and said that, although he had gone
through two very severe battles during the
last two weeks, he was on edge now and
ready 20 fight to regain the champion
ship.
Brady said it was impossible for
fight to take place between Jeffries and
Fitzsimmons on the date mentioned, but
that he would put up a forfeit at once to
bind match between the two, the fight
TO take place within three months from
Sept l, and a side bet of $4,000. Fitz-
simmons would not listen to this PROPOSE
ton and said it was only made for ad-
Vertising purposes.
