ST. LOUIS. No, February 20.-The
Knights of Labor Of this city are pre-
pairing for another move upon the
street car company, with the object OF
obtaining better pay and shorter work
ing hours for the employees OF the

time win be the boycott, aud it is ex-
pected that by its use they will be
more successful in obtaining the con-
cessions they desire from the street
railroad companies than they were
last October, when they relied upon n
general STRIFE 70 accomplish their
ends. Ii has been learned from Mr..
Sullivan, Master Workman Of Dis
triCt Assembly No. II, which includes
the st. Louis knights OF Labor lodges,
that this plan Of action had been
agreed upon, and that il would be put
into operation very soon, with all the
Knights Of st. Louis enlisted in its
execution. One road is to be boy
cotted at time and brought 10 terms
If the boycott is successful. The Ex-
eCutive Committee of the Knights
have not yet decided when the boy
colt is to be, but it is said the time
will be set about the middle of March,
aud that the Fifth Street Line, the st.

Removing n Cancer.


Last Saturday afternoon DIR. Robert Full
ton Weir, professor OF surgery In the col
lege of physicians and surgeons, performed
one Of the most difficult surgical operations
by eXtirpating cancer from o patient In
the amphitheater Of the New York Hos
pital. The patient was woman about 55
years old. The malignant grNwth made Its
appearance In her left armpit q year ago
and increased rapidly in size till II covered
her breast. Her suffering was so intense
that when she came under Dr. Weir's obser-
walton a month ago she urged him to re-
move 1t at all hazards. She was put under
the influence OF ether and after being rem
dered thoroughly unconscious the operation
was begun. The parts were sponged of
with an antiseptic solution, and one OF DIR.
Weir's assistants handed him a keen
bladed scalpel. Slowly the operator cut
through the dense indurated skin, making
an inclsion about fifteen inches long, ex-
tending from the armpit to the breast bone.
The cancer lay directly under the skin, and
with the handle Of The knife and the finger
nails DIR. Weir stripped 1t from Its attach
ments. Every time an artery or vein was
ruptured the bleeding end was caught up
in the teeth OF a bull dog forceps which was
held by an assistant. 1t was comparatively
easy work until the triangle OF the arm was
reached. There DIR. Weir discovered that
luG BIOMlh lllt uAlllul1
and vein. 1t would have been fatal to cut
any one of them. and at the same time IL
was absolutely necessary TO take up every
one of the lymphatic glands. DR., Edgar
picked up the vessels and held them on the
iange of silver retraetor, while DR.. Weir
stripped gland after gland from the sheath
Of the skin. IL was slow, tedious work,
and nearly an hour was consumed before
the cancer, weighing over three pounds,
wastaken out. Then DR.. Weir pushed
aside the flesh muscles and pulled away a
few remaining glands not larger than peas,
way up in the aXilla. 1t was very bloody
operation, and the patient was very weak
when she regalned consciousness. II the
wound, which was left partly open, heals
and the cancer does not crop out In some
other part Of the body the woman stands
fair chance Of getting well. At any rate
her life will be prolonged, and she Will be
free from pain for ayear at least.

There have been several efforts made to
get up horse insurance companies, both in
the matter OF life and fire risks, but none
have ever come to anything, at least so ia
as race horses or high class trottlng horses
In training are concerned. The reason Of
this is that the value Of given number of
race horses is such luctuating factor that
no accurate general average can be struck
Take fremont, for instance. He may be
worth $50, 600 this morning. This afternoon,
while at walking exercise, he may strike

but In no other stock was there an Inn

lost the advantage. The strike on the Lou-

stock In the early morning, but the slight
loss after the opening was later recovered.
The market finally closed as II had been
