THE SUN.


The Ssn for 1889 will make it, fifteenth
annual revolution under thepresent manage
ment, shining as always, for all, big and
unhappy, Republican and Democratic,
depraved and virtuous, intelligent and
obtuse. The San's light is for mankind and
womankind Of every sort; but its genial
warmth Il for the good, while II pours hot
discomfort on the hllsteFing backs OF the
persistently wicked. ls atff-
The Sun Of 1888 was q newspaper OF new
kind. II discarded many OF the forns and .
multitude Of the supernuous words and
phrases of ancient journalism. II undertook
10 report In fresh, succinct, unconventional
way all the news OF the world, omitting no
event of human interest, and commenting
upon affairs with the fearlessness Of absolute
Independence. The euccess OF this expert
menf was the success of The Sun. 1t effected
permanent change In the style Of American
newspapers. Every important journal
established In this country In the dozen
years past has been modelled after TIE Sun.
Every important journal already existing has
been modified and bettered by the force Of
| The SIa's example. IH 4 F
The iS,sn of18S2 will be the same outspoken,
truth-telling and interesting newspaper.
BY liberal use Of the means which an
abundant prosperity affords, we shall make
| it better than ever before. We shall print all
the news, putting II into readable shape, and
measuring Its Importance, not by the
traditional yardstick, but by Its real interest
to the people. Distance from Printing House
square is not the first consideration with
The Sun. Whenever anything happens worth
reporting we get the particulars, whether It
happens in Brooklyn or Bokhara.
In politics we have decided opinions and
Il N frt
language that can be understood. We say
what we think about men and events. That
habit is the only secret Of The 8iH's political
course.
The Weekly Sun gathers into eight pages
the best matter of the seven daily issues. An
Agricultural Department Of unequslled
merit, full market reports, and q liberia
proportion ofliterary, scientific and domestic
intelligence complete the Weekly Sun, and
make 1t the best newspaper for the farmer
household that was ever printed.
Who does not know and read and like thu
Sunday Sun, each number Of which is
Golconda of interesting literature, with tn,
best poetry of the day, prose every line wortl
reading, news, humor-matter enough TO al

Fed Through Hole in His Stomach.

One of the most remarkable surgical
operations ever performed in America is
described in a paper written by DIR.
Frank j. Lutz, surgeon of the Alexian
Brothers hospital. The subject, e.
Hunecke, German tailor, fity-eight
years old, who resided on South Tenth
street, commenced in July, 1880, to ex-
perience considerable difficulty in
swallowing his food, which grew SO
serious finally that he had tainted
several times from the pain. On Oc.
tober % he consulted DR.. Lutz, who,
after examination, found an incipient
structure of the lower part of the ESQ.,
phagus, probably malignant. He adj
vised the patient, who was very intelli-
gent and of philosophic turn of mind,
of the nature of the disease and its in
evitable issue-death by starvation. It
was explained to him that his life could
be prolonged and made comfortable,
but that his disease was not durable;
and after the different methods by
which he could be fed were explained,
he pronounced in favor of "gastric fs-
tula," which, being interpreted, means
nothing more nor less than o hole cut
into his stomach, through which the
food he could not swallow could he
introduced. The operation was per-
formed by DIR. Lutz, assisted by Drs.
Wesseler, Hickman and Fuhrmann. A
two-inch incison was made parallel
with the cartilage OF the eighth rib,
through which the incision was made
into the stomach, and stopped with a
plug of carbolized gauze. After eight
days the wound had healed by granu-
lation, and food was introduced through
the opening three times a day. After
food, whether solid or liquid, had been
thoroughly masticated or insalivated by
the patient, he spat it into a rubber
tube, through which it was conveyed
into the opening. DIR. Lutz observed
that as soon as the patient began to
masticate his food, the gastric juice
flowed freely through the fistulous
opening, By this means he was kept
alive seven months, long after the ulcer
I of the esophagus had made it impossi-
BILE for him to swallow anything, fluid
or solid. He died finally of exhaustion,
complaining of a violent thirst, which
nothing could quench
With single exception life was sus
tanned longer in this instance than oi
any other kind on record.-St. Louis
Republican.

water works we'll under way. The
Galinas river rms through the center
of the town, or between old and new
Las Vegas. Six miles above the city,
in the mountains, on the banks of the
Galinas are the hot springs which are
emptied into the river, rendering the
water unfit for city use. So the enter
terprising inhabitants of this plucky
city have built rock dam across the
Galinas river three mile above the springs
and are laying large iron pipes from there
to Las Vegas to supply the city with
water from pure mountain stream.
And it must be recollected that all this
is being done by one-half of the citi-
zens, as the other half are poor. worth
less and devoid of all enterprise. Half
at least of this city is built of adobe or
buu-uI1cu OIlCh. ~ 10 5d1Q bndO OuI
Yankee population from the States can
not successfully make these brick. They
are eighteen inches long, nine wide and
four thick. They are furnished and
laid in the wall at $40 per 1000. When
it is recollected that one of these brick
is as large as eight kiln-burned brick,
it will be seen that 1000 brick will
build an average house for q Mexican.
But there are large warehouses and
hotels, three stories high, built of this
adobe. The roofs OF these houses are
also made of dirt or some kind of brick,
nearly fat. AS it seldom rains here,
little effort is made to make roofs to
shed water. Many of these low, dirty
and unsightly habitations are occupied
by wealthy families, with rich lace cur
tains to the little windows. The ina
tives never build their houses more
than one story Highland l W story
at that.
