DIR. William Krauss In The Journal

scribes the case Of Polish herdsman,
81 years of age, weighing 230 pounds,
who some months previous to an acct
dent had suffered from apoplexy re-
sulting In left hemiplegla- He was
slowly regaining the use of his arm
and leg when he was struck by train
and was found unconscious on the
track with three scalp wounds. There
was a depressed fracture of the skull
three inches above and one inch be-
hind the left ear. He was Immediately
moved.
About 10 o'clock at night he began
to whistle, not. however, the popular
songs Of the day." but the whistle calls
he was accustomed to use In calling or
driving his flocks. He would continue
whistling for about one minute, then
would cease for five or ten minutes
and kept this up at regular intervals
until he died. At no time was It pos
sible to distinguish any melody. The
sounds were of the same pitch and in
tensity and of the same character.
They were audible throughout the
ward and attracted the attention of pa
tents and attendants. To the ply
sicians In attendance 1t was strange
experience to hear these whistle calls
coming from a patient In a state of
unconsciousness. 1t was impossible to
rouse the patient at any time before
or after the accident. and he died,
whistling few minutes before death.

sort of formal farewell to Picking.
Field Marshal Won Waldersee and all
the generals, with their STATS, were
present, as well as the ministers and
their secretaries. In all there were 80
guests. The field marshal made a
speech In English. in the course of

the occasion of General Chaffee's birth
day and the second owing to the Amer

fee and the brave men under him, for
none others had made themselves more

ter to China, made similar remarks in
behalf of the diplomatic corps.
A force of LOO Germans and 1000
French troops leave here today to join
the Pao-ting-fu expedition against Liu

At meeting of the ministers yester-
day morning the situation generally
and Field Marshal Won Waldersee's re-

decided upon.
The Chinese court has replied to the
recommendations of Japan on the SUBJ
ject that it is impossible for the en-
peror to return to Picking until the

been bought for a resident Of the
Azores and was to be delivered there,
and there was no trouble about her
clearance.
While knowing, of course, that Da
Costa was In Cadiz, 1t appeared that
Don Raminez had neither imprisoned
his daughter nor set an extra watch ON
her movements. To dodge her duenna
and escape from the house and grounds
and make her way to an appointed rem
devious must have been difficult mat
ter, but she accomplished it, and two
hours after dark one evening a boat
brought the pair of lovers aboard. Ten
minutes later we were under way. A
fairer girl never looked upon, and she
was as brave as she was fair.
We left port with a fair wind and
carried 1t all night as we headed out
into the Atlantic, and the yacht slipped
along as IL driven by steam. We had
got away so quietly that l did not look
for pursuit, but daylight had scarcely
broken when we found a steamer In
our wake AS afterward ascertained,
the girl had been missed early in the
night, the sailing of the yacht discov-
cred, and while one steamer was head
ed for the Canaries a second took the
course for Rio and was soon overhaul
ing us.
At noon the steamer came up with
us. The brother was aboard of her.
while the father had taken the other
route. She came slashing alongside,
with shouts and yells from her crew,
thinking to make an easy capture, but
as there were no armed men aboard
she quickly sheered off before our RI
fies. Within the next two hours she
made three different attempts to crash
into us, but each time our fire, which
was not meant to kill, drove the men
from the pilothouse and confused all.
Then she settled down to pursue us,
and, as a matter of fact, she hung to
us for 4S hours. She had come out un-
prepared with fuel or provisions, how
ever, and at last had to turn about and
head for Cadiz. BY the time she reach
ed port 1t was too late to think of fur

Peel Didn't Know Tennyson.

Peel regarded all light litterateurs as

human species. Carlyle had prompted
Mines to press Tennyson's claims for
a pension. The rival claimant was
Sheridan Knowles, the popular drama
fist.
Peel consulted Mines as to the course
which he ought to take. accompanying
the appeal by the statement that for
himself he knew absolutely nothing
either of Mr.. Tennyson or Mr.. Knowles.
"Whatw said Mines. "Have you

had written. Accordingly Mines sent
