AN HONEST LETTER.

Secretary Whitney's Connection with tho

Secretary Whitney has sent the fol-
lowing letter to Henry R. Low the
Chairman of the Senate committee of
the New York Legislature Investigate
ing the Broadway railroad matter:
take the liberty of addressing this note to
you because you are chairman Of the COM
mittee authorized to investigate the methods
by which the consent Of the Board of Alder
men was obtained to the construction Of the
railroad now laid upon Broadway, and be-
cause the public press, has more than once
associated my name with the subject of your
inquiry 1t is, perhaps, an inevitable penalty
of holding public Office that any association,
however honorable, with transactions or per-
should be made an occasion for misrepresent-

ual, and we strenuously insisted that the
privilege should be sold at public auction to
the highest bidder When these efforts failed
we appealed to the mayor who vetoed the
ordinance. 1t was passed over his veto. We
then attacked the validity of the resolution,
and as we had no right of action ourselves,
furnished legal aid to property-owners for
the purpose. subsequently,, in Difference to
public sentiment aroused in great degree by
our efforts, Mr.. Sharp and his associates
abandoned the resolution and procured the
passage Of new one, with conditions
favorable to the city and conditioned
upon annual payments based upon a
valuation Of million dollars or more
for the franchise. Some time afterward par
ties from Philadelphia informed us that they
were arranging for leases of the lines in
Broadway and Seventh avenue and intended
to lease other lines, and thus, by introducing
economy of management and system of
transfers, secure at the same time returns
from the properties and greater accommoda.

DOCTORlNG HORSES.

It Can Not BE Done So That 1t Will Fool
an Expert.
II haven't much sympathy with any
one who gets cheated in horse-deal, "
said well-known livery-man: "It is
only these smart Alexis who think they
know it all that get left Noexpert can
be fooled
"How do horse-sharks fix up fifteen
year-old plug until he looks like two
year-old coltp"
s'That's all nonsense; it can't be done.
The greenest man in town can scarcely
be fooled in that way. Of course, the
appearance of horse can be improved.
You take an old, hard-worked horse and
his coat will be rough and his general
appearance anything but sleek. You
take that horse and blanket him, feed
him and groom him well, and in week
or so he will look fifty per cent. better,
although he is not bit better horse
than he was before.
"Then to hide a horses age, his teeth
are filed. If he is wind-broken he is
dosed with shot. That will make his
breath easier for time, but in the long
run makes him much worse. If a horse
has the heaves from eating musty hay
the best thing to do is to sell him al
once, for he never can be cured. If he
is fed on bran or corn fodder for awhile
his condition will improve, but as soor
as you give him hay again the heave'
will reappear worse than ever. AS
said before, no expert can be fooled TO
minute by any of these schemes, ant
any one who buys horse without con
| sulting man who understands the ami
NAL deserves to get left.
There is one thing that will fool an
expert that ever lived, although
doesn't often occur, and that is hors
that is subject to fits. He may be youn
and sound and good traveller. He ma
not have a fit for a week or two at
time, and yet some day he will lay dow

like q man afflicted with epilepsy. TIL;

PUSHING TRADE.
How 1t Is Done BY Dealers in Ladies' Foot
Gear,

Gear.
A tall man, with a Ratchet face and a
nose so thin that it barely separated his
keen, gray eyes, entered a Grand street
store, drew package from capacious
pocket of his overcoat, and said to
polite clerk: "Somebody must have
marked these shoes wrong. They are a
half size too large The clerk opened
the package, looked at the inclosed pair
of kid CATERS, and remarked: "Ah,
these are twos-and-a-half. You want
twos." 'No, don't" said the CUSTOM
er, with sharp ring in his voice; 81
want number twos-and-a-half, but the
shoes must be half size smaller than
these"
Clerk-Why, sir, these are twos-and-
a-half Yon can see for yourself. The
mark is plain enough.
Customer-But I have already told
you that the mark is wrong. My wife
has been wearing number twos-and-a-
half shoes for years. [ ought to know,
for / have had to buy so many of them.
took these shoes home the other day,
expecting that they would fit. of course,
and / have had to come back to ex-
change them because a rascally shoe
maker put wrong mark on them.
Clerk-You must be mistaken, sir;
this house takes the greatest care that
every thing sold is exactly what it is
represented to be. Our reputation
Customer-Never mind your reputa-
ton. l tell you these shoes are No: 8.
Get me another pair half size smaller.
The polite salesman went in search OF
shoes of the same trademark and soon
returned with two pairs which were
marked '.2' and 80 1-2." He smiled
serenely on the customer as the latter
compared the shoes which he had taken
back to the store with each of the other
pairs. There could be no mistake. The
pairs numbered 80 1-2' were of exactly
the same size. while the pair marked
so" were half size smaller.
Customer-Well, these No. 2 shoes
will fit my wife. but I wish you would
explain something. There came near
being row in the family when my wife
said would have to take that pair of
shoes back, and to be very sure that l
had not forgotten the size of her foot
looked at her old shoes and saw the No.
10 mark on them. Yet her old shoes
measured a quarter of an inch less in
length than the new ones.
Clerk-Were the other shoes bought
here?
Customer-No. have been buying
shoes for some years at Blanks, in the
Bowery.
Clerk-Ah, that may explain the diff.
ference. think they have a different
standard for working at Blanks. You
see some women insist on buying shoes
half size too small for them, and when
they 90 to store to buy for themselves,
they can't be satisfied until the salesman
crowds their four and half foot into
four shoe. A woman who has worn
four shoe will not have it said that she
has to wear q four and half. Now, if
she has been buying her shoes at Blank S,
and she happens to come here for pair,
she either gets tours that are com.
Portable on her feet, or she finds that
she can pinch her feet into threes-and-a.
half. She will be satisfied, anyhow, and
Blank won't sell her any more shoes
It helps trade, don't you see?
The sharp features of the customer
relaxed in smile which did not vanish
until he had departed from the store

A NEW NOSE,
How Mr.. Sheehan Was Provided With .
Brand New Pr0b0scis.

How Mr.. Sheehan Was Provided With
Brand New Proboscis.
John Sheehan had new nose put on
him Sunday. Sheehan has been rather
well-known about town on account Of
the disagreement of his face by the loss
of his nose. which was eaten off by
smallpox twelve years ago. He really
had no nose at all, nothing but flat
liberated place on his face. The bones
were there, but the septum and cartl-
lage were gone. There were two open.
ings in his face for nostrils. When Mr..
Sheehan had cold in the head, which
frequently occurred, his face presented
any thing but an attractive appearance.
Sheehan, after struggling twelve
wears against the disadvantages Incl
dent to his condition, voluntarily sub
mitted himself, at the Providence Hos
pital, to the operation of building up
new nose. What is known as the In
dian operation was performed by Dr.
Hamilton, Surgeon-G General of the Ma
rine Hospital Service, who was as
sisted by Drs. Hartigan and Hick-
ling. The operation consisted OF
taking flap from the forehead, twist
ing it around and forming nose of it.
A triangular section, with one point Of
the triangle between the eyes, was cut
in the forehead. The skin and flesh
were cut down to the bone, the flap be-
ing left attached to the flesh between
the eyes. The flap was twisted around
until it hung over the proposed site of
the new nose. The skin about the old
nose was then cut, and the flaw was
sewed in. A septum was made, and all
together the nose, when completed,
looked very well. When a Star reporter
called at the hospital, Mr.. Sheehan's
face was swathed in bandages. His
hands were secured in a muller, so that
he could not, in his sleep, scratch his
new nose off before nature had secured
it in its place. The new nose will be
Of the Grecian type, and the surgeons
think Mr.. Sheehan will be able to blow
it and use it for all the purposes that
noses are used for.
This is the first operation of the kline
performed in this city, one Of the physi.
clans said to Star reporter, for prob
ably twenty-five years. 1t is, however
one of the earliest operations known t.
, surgery. In the middle ages, when nose
were more frequently knocked off thai
, now, the surgeon was often called upol
to repair the damaged face of some I'm
, fortunate knight, and SO such operation
: were common. The old Italian metho
was to make graft from the skin an
I flesh Of mans arm to his nose. Th
flap was left hanging partly to the arm
!. so as to keep up circulation in the er
|. grated flesh while nature was maxim
the union. The mans arm was Their
Y fore bound to his head SO he could nj
t move it. The French method was
e make two flaps from the cheek, one 6
Q each side. The operation in Sheehan
y case is called the Indian operation, b
a cause the man who submits to it is pa
n tally scalped.- Washington Star.
