be some weeks yet before ' the' Irish
players are back at the Abbey The

to be extended owing to tne entnusi

Irish capital, including "The Bogie

ENEMIES HYPNOTIZE MAN
Italian Chauffeur Is Victim of Mys
terious Refined Vendetta.
ROME, July 27. (Special.) A cu
rious case of hypnotic suggestion Is re
ported from Turin. - For some days a
chauffeur has been wandering around
the streets and showing no visible
means of support.
On being questioned by the police, he
could give no details of his life before
or after May 23. To all questions he
replied, "He who has forbidden me to
speak has crossed the ocean, and the
police will never find him."
For tne present the chauffeur, whose
name is kept secret by the police, has
been sent to an asylum, but physicians
think that the case is one of hypnotic
suggestion, and the cause a "refined"
vendetta.

Condition.

dangerous the bite of an- ordinary gnat
ma be under apecial circumstances,

while taking tea on the terrace of
her suburban villa a few days ago. In
flammation began the next , day, and,
despite local treatment, increased lo
rapidly that one day later a' surgical
incision was made. This had to be re
peated the next day under chloroform.
General blood poisoning had, how
ever, set in. and a consultation of doc
tors finally decided that the only
chance of saving the patient's life was
to amputate the leg above ' the knee.
The operation was performed six days

able danger. It Is supposed that the
gnat must have been Infected with
