VETERAN RACKED WITH PAIN.
Pathetic Condition Of Gallant General
of Civil War.

CHICAGO, September 25.-The Record
Herald today says: Cooped up in a little
ward of the Baptist Hospital with three
mander Of the cavalry division in the
march to the sea- and for eight years
governor Of the territory Of Colorado, is
suffering the tortures of infiammatory rheu-
matism. Racked with pain and helpless,
the famous commander is dependent on the
fraternal help which his old army COM
rades give, but he is far from respondent
over his trials.
For six weeks the general has been con-
fined to the hospital ward, He is seventy
and his right arm useless, but he is still
buoyed up with the indomitable courage and
the fire and spirit that carried him to the
head of Sherman'S cavalry In the sixties.
Gen. McCook is a son of DR.. John Nc
Cook, a brother of former Representative
McCook of New York and a nephew of
Maj. Daniel McCook, who sent eight sons
to the Union army. three of whom were
killed. while four of them attained the rank
of general Maj McCook himself was killed
in battle by Morgan's guerrillas.
Gen. Edwin McCook went to the civil,
war with an Ohio cavalry regiment that
became a part Of the Army of the Cumber-
land. His gallantry in the many cam
paigns in which his troops were engaged
carried him through various promotions to
generals rank, and it was commander
flank of Gen. Sherman's army that he par
ticipated in the march to the sea-" After
the war he was governor Of the territory of
Colorado, until 1t became the centennial
state in 1876. Later he was made United
States minister to Hawaii.

and l remember that an experiment of
this kind was made comparatively recently
at Monaco
II do not think that Prof. Bells expert

Unless power can be transmitted by wire

their American sisters.
The celebrated magistrate. M. Roty.
whose name became by-word some
months ago owing to his discovery of the
wonderful new language called Agrach
has again won fame by inquiring into this
amusing case of alleged swindling, in
which two women. Nile. Madelein Canot
and Nine Louise Sillon, are implicated.
Madeleine is beautiful blonde of about
eighteen, with pretty blue eyes and an in
nocent smile; Nine. Sillon, woman Of
forty, is said to have played the part of
a matrimonial agent, and described her
young friend Madeleine the heiress of

mine has sent me a ticket for box. You

and pay us visit between the first and
second acts" And then Nine. Sillon ex-
tracted $25 or $50 from the ardent lover
for preliminary expenses
After the first meeting at the theater
other meetings were arranged, and the two
women played their cards so cleverly that
pretty Madeleine has been receiving flowers

from lovers of all ages and all styles of

amount of ready cash at their disposal.
and all of them anxious to win her little
hand and her comforta BILE fortune.
The elder woman meanwhile extracted a
good deal of money from those of the ad-
mirers who had it. and got rid of the
poorer ones.
But last week three or four of the young
men whom Mile Madeleine had bashfully
accepted as her. fiances met on the lady's
doorstep owing to a mistake in Nine.
Sillon's reckoning in time. One or two Of
the bravest Of them, who were not afraid
of ridicule. lodged complaint with the
police against the heiress and her accom-
plice, and Mile. Madeleine is now wasting
her innocent smiles on the warders of St.
Lazard prison. while Nine. Sillon occupies
the cell next door to her.
