MINNEAPOLIS MINI. June 5. 1885.

DEAR DOCToRs:-I have carefully
examined the specimen you sent me
and find that it is a Sarcoma, of the
variety called by older writer's, Recur-
rent Flbroid. The operator did the
correct and only thing to do in this
case, as it would have been useless to
have amputated only the finger. It
may never return, yet the tendency is
to return repeatedly at the scat of
operation and eventually appear in
distant parts. Unlike career it has
little tendency to involve Emphatic
glands. but begins in connective tissue
and extends to the nearest tissue.
Next to cancer youknow the Sarcomata
are the most malignant of growths.
This particular specimen, however. is
not the most malignant of the various
varieties Of sarcoma, being mixed and
the least malignant cells predominant.
ing, so hat the prognosis is as favor.
able as it>ean be in any case of this
Kind. Yours raternally, ,sr

Nothing New Yesterday-The Extent of the
shutdown.
There was nothing new to be obtained in
iron circles in this city yesterday. Both
sides apparently maintaining the statu quo
Yesterday Pittsburg papers published the
new scale at length, and from it we make
be following extracts: In the old scale
there we're two clauses which have been
omitted in the new. They were.
"Brads, tobacco and stating nails same as
common nails of the same length.
The price for making steel nails, when
the steel is harder than iron, shall be twen-
ty COY per cent. above the price paid for
cutting iron nails. Also, when nails are
made lighter than the specified sizes in the
scale the price shall be advanced in proper
ton"
In the new scale in place Of these two
clauses are inserted two others. They are:
THE prices tor cutting other sizes
than l0d are to be in the same relative pro-
portions as in the present scale"
"All the breskage of machinery, caused
by negligence Of any mailer or his feeder, or
feeders, are to be paid for by such mailer.
When nail machines are fed by automatic
feeders, prices paid for cutting are to be 70
per cent. less than the scale"
In the old scale the nail cutting price list
was run out in full for each size and at each
cutting rate. In the new scale all the prices
for all the other sizes is embraced in the
first clause added 10 the scale.
EXTENT OF THE SHUTDOWN.
By this close down thirty four nail facto-
ries are idle, 3,l89 machines have ceased
to run, 1892 men are thrown out of EN-.
ployment in the nail factories alone and

Two factories have signed the scale and
are running. They are the Green
castle Iron & Nail Company, Greencastle.
Ind, running forty,fve machines and EN-
ploying fifty:four men, and the Falcon Iron
4 Nail Works, Niles, Ohio, running forty
four machines and employing ftty.two men
The Bellsire Nail Works, l24 machines and

gamsted Association scale.

Business Failures in Vermont

Some very interesting facts in relation
to business failures in the six western
counties of Vermont since 1879 have been
furnished us by Mr.. w. II. Robertson, as
sistant manager of the well known mer-
camille agency of X. G.. Dan q Co. From
the table OF figures furnished by Mr..
Robertson it appears that in 1880 in the
counties of Addison, Chittenden, Rutland,
Franklin, Bennington and Grand Isle
there were nineteen failures, with agHre-
gate liabilities of Sl37 600 and assets 500
500. One failure only occurred in Bur
lington, and that only involving liabili-
ties of $1,000 with assets of $4,000.
In ISL the total number of failures in
the above mentioned six counties were
fourteen, with liabilities of i2,4O 500 and
assets amounting to S42 300 Burlngton's
share was three failures, with liabilities
OF 49,, 800 and assets Sl3, 500
In lSS2 the total number of failures
were twenty one; liabilities $685. assets
$50 64 Burlngton's share of failures
three liabilities S6,542, assets $3,775.
III 1883 we find record of twenty-four
failures, with aggregate liabilities of So
070. 517.12 and assets of $4.Ol4G9l22 Bur
lingtOn's share of these failures was four,
with total liabilities of so, POO and total
assets $40, 400. In the st. Adams failures
of this year the total liabilities were 81,
COS, 900 and total assets 1910? 600.
In 1854 the number of failu res in the six
counties were also twenty-four, with total
liabilities of S5j5, s4i and assets 1912, 205
Burlington's share of these failures was
only one, with liabilities of 81 200 and
assets $4,000.
For the first three quarters of 1885 the
record of failures is thirteen, with total
liabilities of $36,Sil, and total assets F23,
~. Only one failure has occurred in
Burlington, the liabilities being $1,000 and
assets $1,000.
From the above figures it is easy to see,
what Mr.. Robertson personally atiirms,
that the business community of Burllng-
ton is one Of the healthlest and most pros
porous, not only in Vermont, but in North
ern New England.
The report for the entire six counties,
with the exception of the unfortunate
record of St. Adams in 1883, is one which
will bear favorable comparison with any
similar section III New England. The pro
portion of assets to liabilities is remark
able, and shows the generally beautiful
condition of mercantile affairs in Yer
mont.

On the Eth of October, there assembled
at Detroit, the fourth conference, Or con-
gress, under the new organization Of the
National Prison Association of the United
States. 1t was notable gathering of
men and women. In some respects there
has never been so important IL prison re
form meeting since the first prison Con
gress was held at Cincinnati, more than a
decade ago. In the character of its at
tendant delegates, even the first national
prison congress did not surpass the De
troit meeting EX-President Rutherford
b. Hayes, who is President Of the Nation
al Prison association, presided, Governors
and eX Governors of States, Senators and
eX-Senators of the United States, boards
of prison managers, philanthrOpists of
worldwide fame, and prison Wardens
from every part of the country, made up
the assemblage. All Of the States We're
represented, and Canada sent Il large
quota of distinguished men TO its cOun-
sells The Department of Justice and the
Department of War, at Washington, sent
representatives. For five days this body
of earnest, intelligent, public spirited
men and women sat in thoughtful con
sideration of the great problems of penal
treatment The conclusions reached in
the various papers and debates, all OF
which were thoroughly practical, have
been thus summed up: Reformation the
object Of penal treatment, The indch
mite sentence, properly modified, greatly
gaining in favor. Less thought for mon
ey profit in prisons than for man profit
Labor IA necessity to reformation-and ap
professional criminals. Longer sentence!
for minor offences, and interminable sen
fences for nc)rrigibles Classification o
prisoners necessity to successful retOr
matory treatment. An unqualified con
demnation of our present county jail sys
tenn. A speeder administration of jus
tice. pententiary surveillance o
discharged prisoners, and conditional re
lease. Separate prisons for women, AM
matrons in ali police stations. Industrial
training Of the young as means o
crime prevention. These are some of tn
things upon which there was very clea
and decided utterancc in the Congress
and on Il line of these principles, unique,
tonably all genuine reform in our pena
system must be conducted

me NEW t1NIl service tOIlIllSSIoh
The new civil service commission seems
to have Numbered in its first action of any
importance. 1t will be remembered that
n New York pot-house politician named
Sterling was appointed welgher III the
New York custom house, by the new
Democratic collector, in place of II faith
full, honest and capable man, who fought
for the flag in the navy during the civil
war, and has been as trusty in the civil
service as he was brave IN the naval
service. There was of course a howl,
and President Cleveland suspended
Sterling, and directed that the place
be filed in accordance with the
rules of the civil service board
Those rules require that when IA requisi-
ton is made, the names of the four high
est on the list of those who have passed
the required examination shall be sent to
to the appointing officer. But the new
commission set aside the rule, and sent
to the collector, the names of some thirty
persons, including Sterling's, from which
to make the appointment. 1t is true that
Collector Hedden has nominated the first
man on the list, who is an assistant
weigher, and who was wounded soldier;
so that the suspension of the rule has had
no practical effect in the case but it was
a bad beginning to start off with the sus-
pension of an established rule, and that
for political reason-for no other cause
can be imagined. The commission has
made a bad precedent. in this case. Ster-
ling claims that he was only suspended,
not removed and that as he has since
passed an examination the place belongs
to him.
