HE is DEAD.
A Stranger Found Unconscious Dies I'M
Hospital. -

Friday night abont midnight, Officers
Emery and Wakefield found man about
forty years old, poorly dressed and d
stranger in Portland, lying in Railroad
square with q bad cut on his head. He
was unconscious and the officers thought
he had fallen because he was intoxicated
and struck his head against something.
They sent him to the police station. DR..
Leighton, the city physician, sewed up
the wound in the mans head but when
he did not recover consciousness the doc
tor became alarmed about him and had
him removed to Greeley hospital. There
he discovered that the man was suffering
from a form Of Brlght's disease and,
though he had been drinking some, his
unconscious condition was aa~ 10 urae-
mic poisoning and not to liquor. At
midnight Saturday the man was still un-
conscious and the physician believed IL
able to die without recovering conscious
ness.
1t was learned that the man had board
ed the night train to Portland at New
buryport on Friday and when he arrived
here was able TO walk. The unconscious
fit must have come after he left Union
station. In the man pocket was slip
of paper with the name John Clancy
written upon it, He had some money
and two silver watches. The officers in
Newburyport were communicated with
Saturday night and they are trying to
find out who the man is.
Sunday the police had heard nothing
from the Newburyport officials and the
mans identity is mystery He died
Sunday morning without recovering con
seriousness.

TO MANILA.
The Famous Ola Hartford May Go to
the Archipelago.


The United States training ship Hart
ford viii be sent to Manila, If the opin-
ions of the officers OF the Charlestown
navy yard prove true. The officers who
are IN a position to know something
about the ships destination say that
while her captain. Commander John r.
Hawleys U. S. N, is preparing an timer
airy for a six months cruise under order S
from the department at Washington, they
have no doubt but that the former flag
ship of Admiral Farragut will end her
cruise at Manila.
''Of course, If such move was con-
templated, - said prominent officer this
morning, "the department probably
would not announce it officially until
the captain had received his orders,
which, IN my opinion, will not be until
the Hartford touches at some port in Eu-
rope. Commander Hawley will set sail
under orders directing him to carry out
the details of the six months cruise as
given in his itinerary. At some conve-
nient point he will receive orders revok-
ing previous orders and commanding
him to take his ship to the Philippines. -
Commander Hawley refused to say any
thing regarding the rumor other than
that he had been requested to make out
an itinerary and that 1t is nearly. ready.
ST have not been notified regar ding such
plan, he said. This means that he
has not been officially notified.
The Hartford, when ready to sail, will
carry a crew Of officers and men number
ing about two hundred, besides about
three hundred landsmen. These lands
men could be trained very satisfactorily
while en- route to Manila, and would be
valuable men by the time the ship
reached there.
1t is possible that this old ship, now
revamped, may see active service in the

observation-disclosures was marked
trait in Bunsen's character, and many
amusing anecdotes are told of the diff
culties it brought him. The Statement
that he remained a bachelor because
he forgot his wedding day is Of course
apocryphal, as is the other about his
putting on suit of garments on the
top of others that he had forgotten to
take off, but the following came under
my personal observation:
Bunsen used to dine every day at a
little table reserved for him in res
taurant connected with the hotel in
which l lived. One spring he fell into
the habit of ordering veal outlets and
asparagus as the chief item for his
meal, and without reflection or feeling
that q change of diet would be agree
able he continued to order "kalbs
cotelette and spargel'' daily for several
weeks until one day the kellner grave
ly informed him that asparagus was no
longer in season and could not be sup
Piled.
Bunsen seemed to be immensely TAX
en- aback and to realize for the first
time that he had been dining on one
dish for a long period. He soon re-
covered himself, however, and asked
the waiter for the bill of fare, from
which, after careful examination, he
ordered mutton chops and peas, and
this was his daily diet up to the time
changed my hotel.-Science.

THE OLD SPORT TRIckED.
He Knew the Sharpers' Game, but
They Knew 1t Better.

He Knew the Sharpers' Game, but
They Knew 1t Better.
In the days when things were wide
open there was a ''brace" faro game on
the other side of Canal street, where
some pretty fat pigeons We're frequent
IL El.lcked. While this was going on
broken down sport formed the habit
of dropping in and securing share Of
the plumber by simply betting the re-
verse of the victim. The latter, for in
stance, would bet $50 one way on the
ace, and the old sport, knowing posi-
lively that the dupe would lose, would
bet SIS the other way on the same card.
In order to secure the $50 the dealer
had to let the unwelcomc visitor win
his little five, and that sort of thing
happened almost every time a fresh
fool was piloted into the establishment.
OF course the sharpers who ran the
game regarded this proceeding on the
old sports part as a most outrageous
invasion of their private rights, equiv
alent to blackmail. II call it just the
same as stealing for him to come in
that way when We're SHINING a man
and take off SLICE" said the main
sharp, "and he really ought to be ar
rested. We must do something to stop
him."
Accordingly they laid their heads to-
gether and evolved Machiavelian
scheme. A few days later stranger,
who had all the appearances of very
verdant planter, was steered into the
place, and right behind him, as usual,
came the old sport, seeming rich pick
ings. After playing for awhile in a
small way the stranger, who appeared
to be more than half tipsy, pulled out a
huge roll of bills and offered to bet
$1,000 on the turn of card. The prop
osition was promptly accepted, and the
other fellow, thinking he had the
chance Of his life, Immediately put up
$65, which was every cent he had on
earth. To his CONSERVATION, the plant
err won and he lost. That broke him Of
the habit and was the last time he ever
tried to rob robbers. It turned out
later that the planter was Memphis
gambler, "made up" expressly for the
role.-New Orleans Times-Democrat
