MAN IN A CRISIS.
Miserable Failure of Six strong Sre-
cimens Trying to Revive
Painting Woman.

The woman tainted, and these are
some of the things that the half dozen
men in the room with her did, relates
the Baltimore News
Two of them made a dash for the
dining room to get water, and fell
over each other at the door of that
apartment.
One fastened to a neighboring drug
store for mixture OF vichy and am
monia
One appeared suddenly with a glass
of whisky. obtained no one knows
where.
In endeavoring TO raise the gas two
able-bodied and excited masculnes put
it out and left the party in total dark
ness for at least a minute, while every
one ot them fumbled in his pockets
for a match
Four men famed the invalid with
music, handerchiefs, hats or whatever
was TO hand.
One held pot pourri jar under her
nose under the mistaken impression
it would be reviying in its effects.
though it wasn't
Another said: Here. dear" and
tried to wipe her brow with the fan
he held. instead of the handkerchief
that was in his other hand.
Four of the men called her little
woman and entreated her to be
calm.
Two said, There, there" and
looked at each other and asked, bag
gardly, If she were quite dead.
One put his arm around her tenta-
lively, not sure that the corpse
wouldn't sit up suddenly and smite
him for his temerity
Another called the servant man who
had appeared in answer to his urgent
calls "blundering idiot" because he
didn't understand what was wanted
when he was told to Run for the
nearest hat without any doctor"
This sounds like quite an army of
men. but in reality ii was only six ac-
tive ones who did all these things
And just as they were in despair a
woman came into the room. She took
in the situation at a glance and gave
her orders coolly. Let her lie down -
said she, land stand from around her
so that she may get air. She'll be all
right in minute. Take away that
whisky and let me have the water
There you are"
And there she was, sitting up and
blinking.
Yes, it's just as DR.. What's-Her-
Name says, men are much more emo.
uonal than women.

Portland, Me, Aug 27.-Through
dense smoke and amid the tumult of
continuous cannon fire, the battleships
Kearsarge, Illinois and Alabama en-
tered this port early Wednesday morn
ing, having stormed the main entrance
to the harbor in connection with the
great war game which is going on this
week in this vicinity
The night was a sleepless one, not
only for all actually engaged in the
maneuvers but for many in the city.
Ii was scarcely midnight when the
searchlights of the forts disclosed two
torpedo boat destroyers in the outer
harbor. Firing began at once and
then ceased. An hour later the pres
ence of a battleship was revealed by
the searchlights and several of the
forts opened fire on her. This vessel
returned the fire and after that the
cannonading became general. A cutter
and launch containing landing parties
were captured and at 2:25 a. m. all the
outer forts were in action.
The Outer Forts Engaged.
All the outer forts were engaged in
action with three big vessels which
were afterward recognized as the Kear-
sarge, Illinois and Alabama.
While two torpedo boat destroyers
and other small craft had been de-
tailed to the duty of threatening the
various passages OF the harbor the
movement against the main channel
had been reserved for the little ships.
For more than an hour the big vessels
stood off the main entrance to the har-
Dor. At four O'Clock they began the
advance. With the Kearsarge leading
ard the Illinois and Alabama close be-
hind, each belching broadsides at the
forts, they sailed slowly toward the
city. Forts Williams, Preble and Le-
vett poured uninterrupted fire toward
the ships. In turn each ship seemed
to concentrate fire on one fort after an
other until the vessels had reached the
inner harbor AS the ships crept on
the forts the firing ceased slowly, and
| BY seven O'Clock the echo of the guns
at the eastern side of the bay, where
minor engagement was going on,
was all that could be heard.

for Denver. after having made Il critical in
spection of the flooded district around Kan
sas City. He describes the conditions at
Armourdale, the Kansas City. Kas., sub
urb. which received the brunt of the flood
mere, as worse than those following The
Hoods ut Johnstown and Galveston. He
said:
"Armourdale is the worst-wrecked city
have ever seen. / had read about the flood
and thought. of course, that the condition
of Armourdale was bad but l was not pre-
pared for what l saw. 1 was at the Johns
town flood. and / also made a study of the
terrible disaster that visited the city OF
Galveston. but the condition of Armourdale
is much more serious than at either of those
cities. East St Louis is suffering and 10000
people are homeless. but the loss there will
not begin to compare with that in Armour
dale"
Mr.. Devine has wired Mayor Low at New
York City that immediate aid in the largest
quantities possible will be required to al
leviate the distress of the flood sufferers
now quartered in Kansas City, Kas.

CONSIDERING SPECIAL SESSION
Governor Bailey of Kansas Con
fers With State Legislators.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Topeka. Kas.. June Ex-Governor Bailey
went to Kansas City, Kas., this afternoon
to confer with the citizens there concerning
a special session of tibet Legislature. He
was accompanied by State Treasurer Kelly
and several others.
The problem of rebuilding the bridges
across the Kaw, which is the chief one
which confronts the Wyandotte County in
terest, will be thoroughly discussed and
solution found outside legislative session,
if possible.
The citizens of Kansas City have been
strongly urging a special session of the
Legislature to pass n law enabling them to
vote bonds for rebuilding their bridges.
They estimate that 1t will cost s250.OOO, and
they think legislative session necessary
to legalize such action.
Governor Bailey is very much averse to
converting the Legislature. He is at work
on a plan. which he thinks will accomplish
the rebuilding of the bridges without a spe-
cial session. He believes the State can bor-
row the money and that the next Legisla-
ture will make II good.
