MODERN VAN WiNKLE
Is italian Patient Who Has Been
Asleep Three Months.


Harlem Hospital has in Augustine
Elbagno, a young Ital ian of 3l6 East
One Hundred and Ninth street, Rip
Van Wrinkle who bids fair to go down
in history as remarkable as a sleeper
as the famous character of Washington
Irving. Elbagno has been in
lethargic condition 100 days
Elbagno was taken TO the Harlem
Hospital from his home three months
ago. AT that time he had been asleep
for nearly two weeks, and all that
time he was not known to have taken
any nourishment. When he arrived
at the hospital an attempt was made
to arouse him by placing a Cottle OF
amonia under his nostrlls, but he In
hailed the powerful fumes as calmly as
if it were some sOft-scented aroma.
Then electric batteries were applied to
all exposed nerve centers, but without
occasioning so much as twltch OF an
eyelid. At that time he was exhibiting
some of the symptoms of typhoid
fever, and the physicians thinking
that that disease might be the cause OF
his slumber he was treated for it. In
a few days, however, it was discovered
that he was not suffering from typhoid
or any kindred malady.
After the Italian had been in the
hospital for month his cot was so
placed that he could not get any of the
food of neighboring patients without
attracting attention. Then. after two
or three days, food was placed beside
the sleeper's cot and one of the physi-
clans gave him good shaking, at the
same time holding bowl OF soup so
that he could inhale the stea m that
arose from it. The Italian ope ned his
eyes, seized the bowl OF soup and
bread, ate it ravenously, and then
went off in his trance again. He has
done that every day for the past few
months, only arousing at m cal times
and then relapsing into the most pro-
found slumber again. AT the present
time the doctors are specializing on the
theory that Elbagno is suffering from
some unusual form of melancholia.
Not once in the " hole 100 days has.
he uttered SO much as a syllable or
spoke a name. After he had been in
the hospital mol tn he was nicknamed
"Trip" and he is know by that name
among the physicians who are familiar
with his case.

IT COST $40
To Gable Home Names of Soldiers
Dying in the Philippines.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 15.-The
President today gave orders that here
after the names of the enlisted men OF
the army VINO die in the Philippines
be cabled to this country once in every
two weeks. When the volunteer army
was in the archipelago it was the Gus
tom to cable the casualties. but on the
withdrawal OF that army the practice
was discontinued.
While it costs an average OF Sl. 90 to
cable news to this country of the death
of an officer IN the Philippines, it costs
about $40 for each enlisted man. This
difference is due to the fact that the
War Department has code numbers for
all officers, while the names of the en- :
listed mem to be company regiment, ETC.,
must be sent in full.

A true picture and an apt illustration
OF the workings Of the present high
tariff laws, and how they can be used
in the interests of the trusts, is given
by the Philadelphia Record as follows:
"Tinplate workers have been voting
recently on proposition to take rs
per cent. less wages on contracts for
Standard Oil tinplate. all other work
to be at regular wages. BY reason of
the drawback of duties the COMPANY
can make its tin cans from cheaper Inn.

this trade that the workers are asked
to forego one-fOurth of their wages.
Their acceptance would be, moreover.
an object lesson designed to enforce
the protectionist theory that the tariff
raises wages at least Is per cent. But
American tinplate is sold now in for
elgn countries at discount of more
than rs per cent. from home prices.

sire they could meet foreign prices

MORE BOOTLICKING.

Army and navy officers are wonder
ing whether Commander Richard
Wainwright, superintendent of the
Naval Academy, will be called to &C.
count by President Roosevelt for an
article of which he is the author and
which appeared in the Naval Institute.
Speaking of the Santiago sea battle.
Superintendent Wainwright first re-
fers in glowing terms to the late Rear
Admiral Sampson. emphasizing his
physical and mental courage, and then
says:
His browning opportunity was off
Santiago. He forged the material. His
hand welded the weapon and struck
the blow; the enemy was crushed.
The same calm, grave man that stood
day and night on the deck Of the New
York. asking questions, seeking In.
formation and issuing necessary orders
received the flags seized from the
burning and sinking Spanish vessels.
No exultation, NO excitement; he was
accustomed to succeed in his under
ings. Who is not proud to say: Il
served under Sampson The man Is
dead, but his works will live while sea
power remains an American necessity.
The picture of Sampson calmly re.
ceiving the flags of the burning Span
ish vessels is moving to the emotions.
Some latitude is permitted in speaking
of the dead, but the picture would
have been more true to history if he
had said burned aad sunken' instead
of burning and sinking,' for the act
OF destruction was in the past tense at
the time Admiral Sampson calmly
received the flags
1t is hard to create enthusiasm while
playing the Sampson fiddle. Poor
Wainwright had as well seek some
other avenue for applause if that is |
what be is seeking. The country is |
sick of the farce and tired OF Sampson
and his imbicility and stolen honors. |
One can hardly think OF this whole
business without nausea, and especial
ly does one grow sick when he con-
those two old Admirals set
ting in judgment on a case they had
from the beginnings.
