pecially the way in which seeds OF

adhere to the mud attached to wagon

satisfied that the high couture Is not be-

For those TO whom the stately style
of couture is found most becoming,
there are now number Of pretty
and becoming modes of arrang-

"Leah" style, in which the hair is all

DANGEROUS OPERATION.
4 Mans Intsstinss Taken Out and I'VE

tNs As itiuuho'l
Thomas Callagan, Q boatman twenty
two years Of age, was taken TO Bellevue
Hospital. He had had dispute over
drinks with Carl Theming, who stabbed
him In the abdomen with . sheath. knife.
A superficial examination showed that
the knife had probably not cut any dan.
esrous vessel, and that the wound would
not provo to be serious. After Callagan
had been In his cot for several hours no
complained Of intense pain In the abdom.
inal region. His face became pinched. his
heart beat irregularly, and he had
spasms which indicated that peril
tonitIs would soon set in. 4 consulta.
ton was held and the decision reached
that. 10 save the mans life, II would be
necessary to perform the delicate and dan.
cerous operation OF exploring the abdom'
inal cavity. As this operation In nearly
every case results fatally. Coroner Mes
semer was called In and took the ante
norton statement Of Callagan. The man
who stabbed him was also brought Into his
presence and identified.
Callaghan was then put on a stretcher
and taken TO the operating room, where the
whole house STAFF and n number OF we'll
known ply sicinns were gathered. He did
not show any fear. He Is a stout, rugged
young man, with powerful muscular de-
velopment. After he had been an1sthe.
tired the attending surgeon with sharp
knife made an incision, following the me.
dian line In the abdomen, about six inches
In length. The wall OF the abdomen was
found to be unusually thick. Then the In.
testines were slowly taken out and exam.

SIDE OF the chest. This course was fol.
lowed until all that could have been In.
jured by the thrust had been exam.
ined. Five deep cuts that nearly severed
the intcs,ines were found. They were
carefully sewed up as soon as discovered.
The patient became exceedingly weak
at this stage and injection Of slim
ulants were given. He rallied from
the shock and the intestines were
put back into the cavity, which was first
thoroughly washed with an antiseptic so.

patient should cough or strain. Tho oper.
alton lasted about two hours.
The patient was sent back 10 his cot, and
plenty OF stimulants aud morphia were
given 10 accelerate the hearts action and
lessen the dangers from inflammation. The
SICK man did not rally as well as was ex.
pected after the operation, hut subsequent.
ly he revived and expressed himself as not
feeling in good condition. He frightened
for time aud then sank rapidly, and II
was thought by DR.. Jarvis, the attending
surgeon, that he would die.

Mr.. Frank Wyman, OF the Simmons
Hardware Company, and well known In

ture OF sneak thief in very clever man.
ner last Saturday. For several weeks past
Mr.. Wyman has been missing articles from
his buggy, and in order to detect the thief
he rugged up muskrat trap In an open
box and placed II under the buggy seat.
The chain OF the trap hs secured to the
foot.bar OF the buggy, to prevent the es-
cape OF any queer fish he might capture In
his novel trap. Thus fixed for the enemy,
Mr.. wyman started out Locust street. At
Seventeenth street he was startled by a
series OF loud outcries and
screams hailing from the rear
OF the buggy. Turning In
his seat, Tyman beheld a good.sired
hoodlum OF about eighteen years, engaged
In frantic struggle to free his hand from
the muskrat trap, In which Il was securely
caught. wyman whipped up his horse
and drove up Locust to Jefferson avenue
at a brisk trot, the thief dragging on be.
hind as fast rs his legs could carry him,
emitting yelp at every jump. At Jefrer-
son avenue Sir. Wyman pulled up. He
obtained the assistance Of q small boy to
hold his horse, and taking his buggy.whip
from its socket he laid the lash across the
chained hoodlum's shoulders. After adj.
niinistcring n severe ctastisement the thief
was released. Wynan considers himself

LONDON, Sept. 6-The house of commons
Friday witnessed another lively debate, the
subject, being as usual, Churchhilps speech
at Belfast, by which he is alleged to have
caused the disorder in that city, and the op-
portunity being the consideration of Par
nell's amendment to the address, declaring
that Irish affairs required immediate consid-

would withdraw his amendment if Churchill
would permit him (ParnelD to introduce a
bill giving tenants leaveto apply to the courts
to fix fair rents Churchill said that if Par
nell desired to describe in a fuller manner
what he wanted the government would give
special sitting for that purpose. Parnell
then withdrew his amendment, and all other
amendments having been defeated, the report
of the address was agreed to.
Parnell will submit his land bill to the
Gladstonean.-leaders before introducing it in
parliament. The bill will propose to invest
the law courts with discretion to suspend an
eviction when the tenant threatened with
eviction is prepared to lodge three-fourths OF
his rent in the hands of the court, and dc
clares his inability to pay the whole.
