FIGHTING FOR LIFE.
Man in Hospital With Skull Fractured
and Spine Broken.

Living with a broken neck and a frac-
tured skull, Gustave Lauried Is the marVei
Of the doctors in Fordham Hospital, says
the New York World. Since he was ad-
mitted to the Institution on Sunday he
has manifested Il tenacity of life that has
astonished the medical men who are watch
ing his case with the greatest interest.
Lauried. who is twentyfour years old,
received his injuries III diving from
spring board into Pelham bay. with
party of friends he left his home, NO
2I3 Washington avenue. Bronx. Sunday
morning for a days outing. Hair nun
dred persons were swimming IN 'front.' OF
the Bridge Hotel at the time he was IN
tured while twice that number watched
them from the shore.
Here goes for deep dive shouted
Laur!ed as he plunged head-first into tho
water He didn't come UP. He was brought
to the surface by his friends after several
minutes. and by means of artificial respi-
ration he resuscitated. He relapsed
into Observation-Disclosures on the way to the
hospital, and has since been conscious only
for brief intervals.
In spells of lucidty Lauried has aston
ished the doctors by the interest he has
shown in his own case from a medical
point of view. and has even predlc'ed
that he will pull through.
i've got big surplus of strength, doo-
tor" he said to DR.. Kingston. "and though
I know I'm in for at least six months of
this I'm going to make a stiff fight and
win"
The doctor, however, is not so sansuine
II Lauried does get well 1t will be com
plete surprise. not only to the medical
staff Of the hospital. but to physicians
everywhere The case bids fair to become
even more celebrated than that Of Walter
Duryea the young millionaire. who is liv-
ing with a broken neck. Not only Is Lau-
ried similarly affected. bat in addition he
has a fracture OF the skull that alone will
prove fatal unless relieved by a danger
Gus surgical operation.
In order that he may live at all with
a broken neck, his broken skull must
first be repaired, and after consultation
of the medical staff yesterday 1t was decid-
ed to remove the broken bone In the head
by trephining If the patients condition
shows signs OF improvement in the next
few days If the operation is q success
and the patient pulls through. the broken
neck will be packed In n plaster cast and
treated in a manner similar to the treat
ment OF Walter Duryea.
The doctors admire the plucky young
shipping clerk and every possible effort
will be made to save his life. His abun
dant vitality and steady nerve viii! con-
tribute largely to his recovery IL both op-
erations are successfully performed.

JEFFRIEs-CoRBETT FIGHT.
Tommy Ryan Says "Gentleman Jim"
Has a Fine Chance Of Winning.

A special from San Francisco says that
Tommy Ryan. the ddle-weieht champion
and acknowledged to be one Of the greatest
lighters in the world has looked over Jim
Corbett and boxed with him and makes
bold to say that the ex-champion has q
royal chance to whip Jim Jeffries and re-
gain the championship. Ryan trained and
coached Jeffries in his first fight with Fitz-
simmons. but afterward split with Jeffries
and they are enemies. 1t is conceded he
taught Jeffries nearly all he knows about
boxing
This Is the way Ryan sizes up the COM
ing battle:
When I came here for my health. and

also to see the fight. I had an idea Je1ries
would win. 1t seemed reasonable to me
The last time I saw Corhett was when JEFF
fries knocked him out. He was looking
bad. was weedy and reminded me OF a
brokendown race horse.
We'll. l saw him at Croffs Garden and
he looked like new man. l weighed him
and he weighed 1S5 pounds. I boxed with
him and he was marvelously fast and
clever. with great punching power. He Is
in the best shape of his life. and l think he
has royal chance to win
Il know Jeffries well and also know all
about his fight with Corbett. l was in JEFF
fries corner. but Billy Brady ran things
and coached Jeffres to go at him and
knock his head Off You know JEFF made
a failure at that. Corbett hurt the big fell
low that night. and now that he can hit
harder he Is bound to hurt him more. One
time in that fight Corbett caught Jeffries on
the chin and made his big form shake like
leaf.
Il think Jeffries needs patching up more
than Corbett. Remember my prediction:
think Corbett has a grand chance l will
be In his corner and do all l can. and
know JEFF and his ways

In one Of the pretticst games seen on
the Georgetown University grounds this year
the Woodward & LoSlrops defeated the
Hugh Reilly team yesterday by score of
6 to 3. 1t was a pitchers battle between
IIershberger of the W. Ss l.. and Edmonston
of the Hugh Reilly team, but the former
pitcher had little the better of the argu-

Aside from the pitchers the running
catch of Curns of the W. G. L. deserves

C,oraI Tint shocks.

On the coast of the West Indian is
lands q curious kind of coral is found
called "millepoca." This has a most
extraordinary property which makes
the people who know it very shy Of
handling it. The moment you pick up
a piece sort Of electric thrill runs
through you and an agonizing pain
shoots through your jaws. You feel as
Il every tooth and every nerve and
muscle connected with them was
burning. The acute pain lasts gen
erally for about half an hour and slow
iy passes off; but the effects do not dis
appear entirely for hours. The reason
Of this curious shock or poisoning is a
mystery.

Moorish Baths.

In Spain, while the Moors were In the
ascendency, luxurious hot baths were
established. They were used In con
nection with the religious rites OF Is
lam. The Islamites were required to
battle frequently. The manner OF
bathing was as follows:
After undressing, the bather is wrap
ped in q WOODEN coat sandals are put
on and he walks to the hot bath. After
a thorough hot bath ali parts OF the
body are rubbed. The eoses of the feet
are rubbed with pumioe stone, then the
body is amounted with oil and sprinkled
with perfumed powders.
When the Moors were driven out OF
Spain the first thing the people did was
to destroy the Moorish bath houses.
This was done because of religious
prejudice against the Moors.
