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 ONE PRICE YOUR MONEY AND HUI | IPt BACK PLAIN FIGURES 8119 1 IFYOUWANTIT ■ ■ „ , —— Ilf I • ■—- .

"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 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.
