the flesh to the jaw-bone, and the
knife was then carried down slowly
through the flesh in the throat nearly
to the hyOid bone. With a fine saw
the Jaw-bone was cut through in the
middle, and all the lingual muscles at
tached to the bones were dissected free
and the bleeding points tied. Putting
an easy pressure upon the two ends Of
the dividid bone, the lower Jaw was
opened widely and the tongue was full
~ exposed to view. Foreeps were then
applied to the end of the tongue and it
was drawn as far out of the
mouth as possible. and TO one
side. The base of the tongue was then
cut upon the right side about an inch
and a half deep, and the lingual artery
was severed. The blood spouted into
the lace OF the operating surgeon, but
the bleeding point was caught quickly
and tied before the hemorrhage
amounted to anything. The tongue
was then changed to the opposite side
OF the mouth, and an incision was
made which met the first one and cut
the tongue loose at the base. The
second lingual artery was severed by
this second incision, and was inn
medlately seized by a clamp which
brought the flowing blood under con-
troll. The tissue at the base of the
tongue was caught by an assistant
with pair OF forceps and pulled for
ward and held there until the arteries
were tied. The tongue having been
cut loose from the epiglottic ligaments
and other adhering tissue, it was quiet
ly dropped into tin dish which stood
close by the table. It was nearly
twice as large as the ordinary tongue.
Upon two occasions during the op-
Grafton the flow of blood was &C.
cidentally turned into the air passage,
and there was great danger from
suffocation. Fortunately this period
was passed over in safety. When
all the small pieces OF affected tissue
had been removed the whole surface
OF the wound was washed with an an
tlseptic solution, and every particle
OF blood and pus removed, when the
two ends of the jaw bone were brought
together. Five holes were made
through the bone near the dividing
line with q small drill, through which
silver wire was run and drawn tightly
together. The split lip was carefully
united with harelip suture, and aft
ter two hours and half under ether
the patient was taken from the table
limp and almost lifeless.
Being young and strong there was
every chance for the patient, but he
tarried SO long on the threshold of
the grave that his case was considered
hopeless. Just as he was about dead
he suddenly picked himself up, in spite
of contrary prediction. That is, it is
now three weeks since the operation
and the patient is now walking around
the woods and gaining strength rapid
ly. The wound is nearly healed, and
there is no sign of the disease, but it
will come back in afew months. Gray
is delighted at getting well again, but
it takes g. cultivated ear to under
stand what he says about it.

DAST1RDLY ACT.
A Young Man Deliberately Wounds Two
Girls With a Pistol.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., July Cat
about $50 o'clock last evening while
Agnes Lynn and Kate Herman, both
aged II years, were sitting in a va
can't lot in the northern part of the
city, they were approached by an &C.
quaintance named Joseph E. Nolan,
aged 18 years, who deliberately point
ed singie-barreled shotgun st them.
They, becoming alarmed, sprang
to their feet, crying: "Don't
shoot" Nolan pulled the trig-
ger, discharging a heavy load Of
bird shot into the faces of
the girls. They fell bathed in blood
and Nolan, dropping his gun ran
away. The girls were conveyed to
their homes. Agnes Lynn was found
to be very seriously injured, and will
probably lose both eyes. The Herman
girl, although suffering great pain, was
not dangerously hurt. Nolan was
found hiding in the old horse burying
ground. When locked up protested
his innocence, claiming that the shoot
ing was accidental; but there is belief
that jealousy of one of the girls caused
him to commit the deed.

From the Atlanta Constitutional


1t is said that the weather prophets
of the country are considering the pro-
priety of meeting in a sort of general
congress. 1t seems that they have diff
fered so widely in their prophecies that
the people havefailed to pay them the
attention they think they deserve, and
they now desire to try and arrange g.
schedule by which they may secure
uniformity. The proposed congress
suggests an incident that occurred in
Harris County some time ago. Two
weather prophets announced that on
a certain day a cyclone would whirl
through the county. One declared it
would come in the morning and the
other that it would come in the after
noon. On the evening preceding the
day fixed by them for the cyclones
visit they met at the court house in
Hamilton. A warm dispute as to
which prophecy would prove to be
correct took place between them, Gull
minating in fight in which both were
badly disfgured. Next day two cy-
clones visited the county, one in the
morning and one in the afternoon.
The day following the prophets COM
promised their differences and formed
a partnership for the publication of an
almanac

PARSONS breaches.
A Jailed Anarchist Talks to the knights
of Labor.

of Labor.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 6.-The Anarchist
Parsons has addressed g. letter dated:
"Cook County Bastile., Cell No. LOG"
to the editor of the Daily News, in re-
gard to the action taken by District
Assembly No. "A, Knights OF Labor, of
Chicago, denouncing him and others BIS
advocates of 'triot and murder" be-
cause they are Anarchists, and COM
manding that Parsons be expelled
from the Knights Of Labor IN COM
pany with every other workingman,
"who follows the red flag and upholds
the docsrines of Socialism" Parsons
the Knights of Labor and Anarchists
and Socialists are precisely Identical.
In support of this statement he quotes
from the principles adopted by the
recent convention and says:
"In addition to the above the order
also proclaims that among the higher
duties that should be taught in every
local assembly are mans inalienable
Inheritance and right to a share for
use of the soil, and that the
right to life carries with it the means
of living; and that all statutes (laws)
that obstruct or deny these rights, are
wrong, unjust, and must give way
After reading the above | must SUBJ
NIT to a candid and intelligent
public to decide if these are not the
precise objects and aims which Social
ism has proclaimed for the past thirty
years and advocated by Socialists
and Anarchists all over the world.
Such being the case the Knights of
Labor is simply another name for
Socialists, fact which intelligent
persons understand full we'll. AS to
the red flag, the wage workers who
march to the music of labor economic
emancipation, whatever their nation
ality or creed, are repudiated and
outlawed by every flag save the red
one. AS to riot and murder, what
are the facts? Let the record of the
international, which is the Anarchist
organization, answer for itself. The
Haymarket meeting was q protest
against the murders which had been
committed at McCormick's the day
before. If this looks like murder and
riot then put us down as such. Through
the grated bars of my prison cell there
COMES IrOm Uu0 SUr00US Uu6 uOlS6 dIlu
din of the Fourth of July, that day
which ITO years ago was made mem
orable by the proclamation of the
immortal declaration of the inaliena-
BILE rights of man. My ancestors
helped frame that declaration,
and sacrificed and fought to maintain
it. They held that resistance to ty-
rants was obedience to God If they
lived to-day they would be on trial for
riot and MURDER and the scaffold
would be thrust in their face for dis
loyalty towards established wrongs.
The district assembly imputes to the
Anarchists the responsibility for the
Haymarket tragedy of May 4. They
do not seem to comprehend that that
affair, like those of East ST. Louis,
McCormick's factory, Bay View mil
waukee), and elsewhere, were the nat
ural outgrowth of the class struggle of
the wage system. So likewise the
spread of Anarchism and the growth
of the Knights of Labor result from
the inevitable collisions between the
privileged class and the oppressed
proletarian."

MURDER AVID SUICIDE.
A Fathers Double Crime In New York
CIty.

City.
NEW YORK, July John Warner,
q tall, bald-headed man, with q fringe
of gray hair showing under his hat,
and black moustache tinged with
gray, hired g. hall bedroom
on the fourth floor of the
fat, 1872 West Tenth Street,
about two months ago. He was &C.
companied by q boy of IA, likely
young fellow, whom he introduced as
his son Joseph. The landlord did not
inquire into his business or ante
cedents, and as the new ledger at
tended to his own business and re-
Trained from meddling with the af-
fairs OF others he went his way, day
by day, unobserved and undisturbed
by his fellow tenants. Beyond
the casual observations that he was q
Canadian, no one knew much about
him. He came and went at regular
hours, and at night he and the boy AL
ways slept together in the house.
Early this morning pistol shots were
heard coming from the room occupied
by the Warmers. This aroused the next
door ledger, and the landlord tried
the door. 1t was locked, and no an
swer came to their knocking. Then
they broke the lock and looked in.
The elderly ledger lay on the floor
partly dressed with a. big pistol
in his hand. There was blood on the
carpet. The police were notified, and
an ambulance summoned. They
reached the spot together. Mr.. War
ner had his trousers on and had evil
IDENTIFY gone about his bloody deed
with elaboration. On the window
sill stood q small looking-glass beside
three or four pistol cartridges. He
had apparently used the glass in fixing
his aim SO that the bullet should not
all to kill him after he had
taken his sons life. The boy lay in
bed in his night shirt with his head on
his right arm, as he had slept, shot
through the left temple. He breathed,
but was senseless. 1t was clear that
the father had shot him sleeping. The
father, after shooting his son, turned
the weapon to his own head, sent the
second bullet through his own brain,
and dropped dead. There was moth
ing in the room to furnish any clue to
the mystery of the double crime.

A Famine Of Ministers.

The statistics Of the graduates of
Yale this week show that ffty-seven of
these young men intend to become
lawyers, that twenty-seven will go into
business, and that eleven will study
medicine, while nineteen will teach In
colleges or schools, and five will be-
come civil engineers. Only six out of
class of 14O intend to become minis
tiers of the Gospel. 1t would seem as if
the Christian people OF the land will
have to look to other than the leading
colleges for men to Fill the future pull
pits. At the ninety-ffth General AS
sembly of the Presbyterian Church,
which was held in Saratoga, the Rev.
DR.. Herrick Johnson preached a nota-
BILE sermon on the perils that beset the
church in which he said:
s'The church is rapidly approaching
calamity. It is threatened with g.
famine of preachers. Our church num-
bers Sal congregations, and by no
possible figuring can ministers be made
to match churches. Take in every stat
ed supply and retired minister, and
still 500 churches are pastorless.
When the taper burns at both ends
look out for darkness. There are no
grounds of hope for relief in the col
leges and theological seminaries to
supply the demand. The trend is con-
tinually the wrong way. OF the stu
dents in twelve colleges In the last
decade only 10 per cent entered or
proposed to enter the ministry"

The Medicine Spoon.

From DR.. Foote'S Health Monthly
A correspondent of one of our medi-
cal exchanges cautions physicians
against prescribing a teaspoonful when
they mean to give a drachm OF any
medicine. He says these measures
harmonized in the olden time, but
that the teaspoon and desert spoon of
to-day will contain twice as much as
they did formerly. We discovered
this fact several years ago and have
ever since supplied our patients with
a medicine spoon made to hold aocu-
rately the amount of one drachm,
which is the dose reckoneC: for large
number of fluid medicines. People
who use ordinary teaspoons should
therefore be sure they are right before
they go ahead and heap it full of any
medicine of which they may have been
ordered to take a teaspoonful. If the
intended dose is really the usual one
of a drachm, then hall the ordinary
teaspoon will be about the proper
measure.

The Gladstone Home Rule Project De-

A London dispatch of the 7th inst,
says: The last hope of the Gladston-
lans, the vote in the counties, has
failed. The English counties are going
Unionist. The counties of Somerset,
Warwick, Hereford, Derby, Denbigh
and Shropshire, in which centers the
agricultural vote, have returned Con-
servatives. Scotland continues Glad
stonian. Numerous county polls have
not yet been taken, but it is impossi-
BILE to reverse the defeat of the govern
ment. The Unionists are confident OF
an ultimate strength of $40. against
300. The Conservatives are certain
that. with a compact phalanx of 800
members, Lord Salisbury will form a
purely Conservative ministry.
