RUDYARD KIPLING VERY ILL.
DOCTORS SAY HIS RIGHT LUNG IS
CONGESTED.
Two of Thom in Attendance Upon Him
nt the Hotel. Grenoble.
New York Sun. .
Ruyard Kipling, the /welknown poet
and writer, who arrived here three
weeks ago with his wife and two chil
dren, is ill at the Hotel Grenoble. The
news of his illness was contained in a
typewritten bulletin which was placed
on the desk in the office of the hotel at
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. It read:
"Mr. Kipling has an inflammation of
the right lung; this produces the usual
fever. There are at no compli
cations. E. G. Janeway,
"Theodore Dunham."
A note that was placed on the desk
at the same time as the bulletin an
nounced that another bulletin would be
issued at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and
naked friends not to request to see Mrs.
Kipling, as she would be unable to re
ceive them.
This bulletin was the first intimation
file hotel people had of Mr. Kipling's
sickness, although they recalled that
Dr. Dunham had spent, nearly the en
tire day in Mr. Kipling's rooms. Mr.
Kipling was about the hotel on Mon
day evening. He lias been living very
quietly since his arrival and always
dressed very warmly when leaving the
house.
The disease Is one which does not
reach a crisis under from four to ten
days and it is probable that today's
bulletin may offer a more complete di
agnosis.
Dr. Janeway returned at about 10
o'clock last night and remained half an
hour. When he left the hotel he said
•that he should not return until this
morning. Dr. Dunham remained with
Mr. Kipling all night.
Mr. Kipling's attack began on Mon
day night, when he returned to the ho
tel at 11.30 o'clock, after dining out.
Dr. Dunham was called in and he ad
vised'a consultation with Dr. Janeway.
The diagnosis of inflammation of the
right lung was made yesterday and
the development of symptoms is being
watched with the greatest possible
care. Both physicians were In consul
tation for an hour last night. At mid
night it was said that there were still
no complications.
The doctors are hopeful of being able
to control the disease, as they have it
well in hand at the beginning of its
course. The period of development
may prove to be a week, in which case

1 I HIS DENOMINATION.
’■ At tlie close of. service one Sunday
morning the pastor of a city church
went down the aisle, as was his cus
-1 tom, to greet the strangers in the con
” gregation.
1 "You are not a member of our
church,” he said to one of them.
"No, sir," replied the stranger.
“Do you belong to any denomination,
may I ask?”
~ “Well,” responded the other, hesitat
e tingly, “I'm what you might call a sub-
' merged Presbyterian."
* I "How is that?”
11 "I was brought up a Presbyterian,
s iny wife is a Methodist, my eldest
- ; daughter is a Baptist, my son is the
I organist at a Universalist church, my
0 second daughter sings in an Episcopal
i choir, and niy youngest son goes to a
I Congregational Sunday school.”
s "But you contribute, doubtless, to
a some one church.”
"Yes, I contribute to all of them;
-'that is partly what submerges me."

THE JULY VICTORY.
How the Good News Came from San- '
tlago.
Grant Squires in the March Atlantic.
The first intelligence of the destruc
tion of Cervera’s fleet was re
ceived at the cable office six hours be
fore it was given either to the press or
to the public. At 7.30 on the evening
of that day a message from Colonel ‘
Allen, the signal officer in charge of |
the cable communications in the vicin- j
ity of Santiago, was read from the re- ;
cording tape of the Hayti cable. It
j gave the first news of the flight of the
t Spanish fleet out of the harbor and told |
how the vessels, one by one, were I
either burned or beached. The presi- I
: I dent and his cabinet received it within
I I five minutes after its receipt in New I
I York and it was for them to determine ;
the use to be made of it. Swiftly the |
wires ticked the wish back of the presi- j
; dent that the news be guarded until it I
I could be verified and at 8 o’clock began ■
the effort to confirm, in the shortest j
11 possible time, this most startling and
gratifying news. Then followed anx-j
1 | Sous hours of waiting by the adminis-
tration for the details which we were |
H striving to get for them. The time ,
passed slowly, as when one watches by
'the bedside of a sick person. We bent I
iover the tiny tape paper, slowly un- I
winding its coil as it passed beneath :
the needlelike point of the recorder, |
i making no sign for minutes nor for ,
hours of the news so eagerly desired.
Ten o’clock. 11 o’clock, midnight, and I
still no answer; but in the meantime
the line between New York and Wash
ington had not been silent, for the offi
cials at the capitol were as impatient
as we were. When we were about to
i give up hope of more news slowly, at
j nine minutes past midnight, the glass
i needle of the recorder began to trace
in the wavy, threadlike line of deep
blue message characters which told us
that the good news was true. This
also was from Colonel Allen and it con
firmed his earlier dispatch, and gave
the additional information that the
I whole Spanish fleet had been overtaken
and destroyed and that Admiral Cer
vera and the. survivors of his crew were !
j | our prisoners. In one minute this ,
; i message was in the president s hands
: at Washington. Then the doors of the
; 1 cable office, which had been locked dur-
ing the evening, were opened and a
sigh of grateful relief and congratula
tion went up from all present.
When a 'boy escapes his mother’s
apron strings there is danger that he
will begin to develop a loose character.
Professor Otto Harnack of Bonn,
brother of the biblical critic, had a
remarkable venture just before New
Year’s. He was visiting in Berlin and
while his family went to the theatfe
one evening he attended a scientific
dinner. At midnight he was seen cross- i
ing the Thiergarten in evening dress■
and then disappeared. His family ad- ;
vertised-„for him throughout Germany
and after a week he gave himself up,
very much shaken in mind, at a Ber
lin emergency hospital. He had taken
