DOWN RICHMOND.
Saw-Boncs From Cockadc City
Mop Up Earth With Capital
City Doctors.
VERY UNIQUE BASEBALL GAME.
And Wonderful Part is the Score
Rcads Like Real
Baseball.
lERY UNIQUE BASEBALL GAME.

Eino Richmond physicians were sue.
cessfully operated unnn y. the Broad
Street Diamond Hospital Yesterday az.
ternoon, each ono undergoing treatment
for tho same diseasc-lack OF onc-time
vigor and activity.
Petersburg bone.sawers handled the
tools that cut deep into tho tender flesh
OF the Capital City medical men, They
were as gentle as possible, and used all
OF the drugs known 10 medical science
to deaden the pain that perforcc did
shoot like electric darts through the
nerves OF the men who cure ali manner
of Ills In this city.
But the patients expirad They died
with distorted faces. their eyebrows
sticking straight towards tho sky, their
lips pointing towards China and their
roses lifted to q semi-pro tessional ats
tIdo.
1nternlent was made beneath eight
runs, and the funeral services were con-
Quoted by the men who had been the
cause Of the solemn solemnity.
Across the newly-made mound there
was strewn the green leaves from FIVE
sweet scores that blossomed only to be
crushed under foot, THE fragrance OF
the sweet-sccnted flowers was waited
through the breezes and finally reached
tho heart OF the city. Further on 1t am
tbled along and percolatcd the homes OF
the citizens who had once been III and
he'd been brought tack to health and
good cheer by the same men who UNDER
went the painful operation at the Hos
pital" yesterday.
+ There was grief In many home, and
there was sadness throughout tho land.
There was no good Fellowship, and there
was no good song ringing clear. For
In the Diamond Hospital there had been
the dreaded skeleton and the Cockade
City surgeons had sharpened their knives
to kill.
"And such NOBLE men they were!'
sympathet!cnlly exclaimed nurse, as
she loft the operating enclosure. her
spirits dropping, her head hanging low.
and her veil pulled closely across her
angelic fnce.
4 .The appendices have been removed,
1t Is not our fault II they croakcd. It
may have been tho shock that killed
them!"s calculated sad-faced Cockade
City plll-rollcr, as he wheeled on his
instcp and opened his collar band to let
some air frlsk across his tired soul.
Indeed, think It was just too lovely
for anything" ehirped q fair one from
miles away, "and the doctors
are tust too cute TO live"
. 1t all happened because the Richmond
surgeons said that they were better
sphere preparers than the Petersburg APP
1t all came about at
the Broad Street diamond hospital, and
the public was invited to look at the
"stifrs" get under the knife.
The public responded, and one hum
dred and seventeen human beings (by
actual COUNT. two negroes, four dead
heads and three dogs, looked at the GU
rIous gyratons as bodies were dissected.
Petersburg took the operating table at
the Offset, and MCGOWAN handled the
knife, Dr. Parker allowed DR.. Gill TO
slip from the straps nailed to him, and
Bledsoe was such a perfect specimen
that he got away from the table long
enough for Wilson to get foot back
there, 1t was the beginning OF the END.
But Dr. Parker. recovered from the
meningitis in the first OF his starting. and
Dr.. Wilson kicked away three bases
when tho blade was touched. DR.. Cosby
killed two bags, and DR.. Wilson chased
10 the sweating room.
This was the way II begun and the
way 1t ended is best told by this bloody
paper, found upon the floor beneath tho
heads Of the medical men OF
Richmond. The paper is unofficial, and
Il reads thusly:
