wounds That should Have Killed.

wounds That should Have Killed.
From the London News.
There have been some very curious
wounds inflicted in the South African war.
One Of the most curious that has come to
our notice Is that Of a young man who re-
ceived Martini bullet right through his
head, coming in at ono temple and going
out at the other. That young man was
dead by all the ordinary rules Of the game,
but he is at present. as a matter Of fact
alive In England. An officer at Spion kop
was holding rife, which was struck by a
fragment of shell. doubled up and dashed
in his face. The back sight lacerated his
cheek the fore sight wounded him behind
the ear, and he was knocked insensible. He
is all right now. Another case that has
come to our knowledge is that Of q soldier
who came running back from the fring line
In one Of the fights before Kimberley with
a wound in his head. Gust scratch" he
said. but as a matter of fact his skull was
fractured. and the bone driven inward.
He was very Ill. but Is still alive. After
hearing Of these cases. we wonder II there
is any one thing that will actually and GER
tainiy kill q man. Perhaps q doctor could
tell us.

From the London Chronicle.
In relation to the big prices demanded.
and already paid. In order to view the coro-
nation procession Of King Edward VII, it
is interesting to note what were spoken OF
at the time as being exorbitant payments
on the occasion Of the coronation Of George
III. The front seats in the gallery OF West
minister Abbey were let at 10 guineas each.
and those In commodious houses along the
route Of the procession fetched the same
amount. The prices in the ordinary houses
ranged from l guinea up to 3, and even in
the coronation theaters. as they were
called-really large booths that contained
from twelve to fifteen hundred seats-'the
prices were beyond all precedent. So great
was the demand that scarolding was
erected on the houses, and seats let at ex-
brilliant prices"

given orders that they he admitted by the pri

An hour was taken in drawing up the afida-

prnaIly the witnesses filed into court. Ray
rnond seemed TO be the most unconcerned person
IN the courtroom as he took the place at the
railing reserved for prisoners
Two charges of forgery were made against
Ravmond. one for forging the check which Mr.
lanes cashed, and the other for forging the let
-er of introduction from President Gilman TO
President Low. Raymond who not repre-
serted by counsel. pleaded not guilty and de-
dared that he wished 10 waive examination and
eo before the grand jury. Magistrate Pool in
sisted on hearing the testimony for the prosecu-
ton.
Henry s. Clark paying teller of the Lincoln

structions Mr. Clark cashed the 5000 check
which was drawn a Philadelphia bank This,
he said was afterward shown to be forgery.

President Low smiled at this. The prisoner
did not change a muscle OF his face.
Mr. Beebe told how Raymond called at the
university with what purported to be a letter
of introduction from President Gilman. Ray
rnond told such plausible story about miss
ing relative that Mr.. Beebe gave him a letter OF
letter and also Raymond Professor Sandys"
President Gilman promo unced the letter a forg-
cry and said that he had never seen the pris-
oner before.
Have you anything to say?" asked Magistrate
Pool turning 10 Mr.. Low.
Nothing at all" was the reply. L don't
know the man"
RAYMOND said that he had no questions to ask
