GIVEN THE LIMIT OF THE LAW.
John N, Lee, the Bigamist, Sentenced to I'm
prisOnment for Period of Five Years.

Judge Norton yesterday passed sentence upon
John N. Lee, found guilty of bigamy in marry
ing Della Haines. The Judge reviewed the
crime in soathing terms and in closing said:
NOW, what shall be done with the defendant!
That he is of no account to himself nor to any
body else is apparent The object of punish
ment is reformation, but who or
what can reform man who will
designedly and deliberately infiict upon
innocent and unoffen6ing people so great a
wrongl But it is our duty to do the best we can
and with the limited means at our command we
should proceed The defendant. John N Lee,
will be imprisoned in the State prison for the
term of five years. That seems too small for
the offense committed, but it is the limit of the
law and we can do no more. 1t would be a
pleasure if the Court could repair the injury the
accused has done; the innocent girl, who has
been so wickedly and cruelty wronged, must
look to the kind and generous treatment of
friends, who can attach no guilt to her. and his
wife must be better off by knowing that her hus-
band is where, for the present at least he can
do her or no other woman any injury"

The lastnamed gentleman read paper on

Smith discussed the subject at some length. Dr.
Mussey read an interesting paper on Surgical
Dressings" in which he reviewed the various
methods used giving particular attention to the
now popular autiseptic means. Iodoform ap-
piled in the late Servo Bulgarian war, gave ex-
general discussion and the next paper,
Surgical Antseptics," by DR.. Dora, con-
tinued the interest in this branch of
surgery. He described his method of dressing
wounds, especially amputatons ana compound
fractures, by which he obtained the union of
parts by primary adhesion. He first cleanses
the wound with per cent solution of carbolic
acid, and then uniting the flaps by sutures,
covers the incsion with adhesive plaster, dis
carding drainage, and applying to the stump
carbolized cotton wadding He leaves the dress
ing undisturbed for ten or fourteen days. A ma
iority of his listeners favored free drainage and
