An Interesting Operation.

An operation of much interest took place
at the Maine General Hospital last week. A
young man, three years ago, was wounded
in the arm by rifle ball, which remained
lodged in the elbow. For over:two years it
did not trouble him much, except causing a
little stiffness in the elbow joint. Ten
months ago he began to have symptoms Of
progressive paralysis, which increased to
such an extent that he went to the hospital
for treatment. The symptoms took the form
in part, of lead poisoning, and in part Of
spinal disease, and the physicians were at
first divided in opinion as to their true ma
ture, but it was ultimately decided that lead
poisoning existed A bullet in the flesh does
not usually cause lead poisoning, and it be-
came matter ef interest to determine how
it had taken place in this instance. An OPP
Grafton was performed ON the arm of the pa
tient and after some search the ball was
found, and the parts were so affected by
lead poisoning that it was found necessary
to amputate the arm above the elbow. The
cause of the lead poisoning was found in
the fact that the ball had slipped down into
the elbow joint, where, by every movement
of the forearm little lead was ground off
of it by contact with the bone, and this lead
entered the system and caused the poison
ing. The bullet was reduced from its origi-
nal weight, 146 grains, to 40 grains, over 100
grains having thus been worn away by the
action of the elbow. The patient is now do
ing well.

woman,s Indian Association.

The regular monthly meeting of the In
dian Association was held Tuesday after
noon. In the absence of the president Mrs.
Bonney occupied the chair. The secretary's
report of the annual meeting was read and
accepted. Mrs. Taylor's report on current
Indian news, which illness prevented her
from reading at the annual meeting, was
read and accepted. Mrs. George c. Frye
read an article by General Marshall upon
the work of the Unitarian Association for
civilizing Indians.
Mrs. Noyes read an article entitled "One
Little Indian" DR.. Hill was then called
upon, and spoke of his interest in the In
dams which had increased with his years,
and that he believed in their civilization and
christianization. His remarks were full of
pith and greatly enjoyed by all present
After the reading of poem by Miss Tay-
lor, a vote of tina nks was moved to be ex-
tended to DIR. Hill for his interesting re-
marks, and the Society adjourned to meet
the first Tuesday in April with the State
Street Society.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
OUR IRISH VISITORS.


The sale Of seats for sour Irish Visitors,
to be produced under j. M. Hills manage
ment at Portland Theatre Monday evening,
will begin at the box Office of the Theatre TO-
morrow The New York Herald says
"The audience at the Third Avenue last
night was treated to the comedy "0ur Irish
Visitors From the beginning to the end
they were in continual uproar, especially
when MIR. Thomas E. Murray, Mr.. Mark
Murphy, Mr.. Charles w. Young and MI
James Reilly formed quartette OF ballet
dancers in real ballet style. The kissing
song by May Templeton, was enjoyed very
much, especially by the boys in the gallery,
who helped her in the kissing-sound part. Of
it. The rest of the company were praise
worthy"
THE AMATEURS.
Thatcher Post Hall held 200 of the elite of
Portland last evening to witness the ANA
teurs. And they thoroughly enjoyed two
hours of the art dramatic. Two charming
little comedies were given. MY Turn Next"
and "Checkmate." The actors were at a
great disadvantage on account of the small
ness of the stage. but all handled their parts
In manner worthy of professionals.
The first of the drama is a laughable alb
snrdity in which Mr.. Woodward, as Taxi
cum Twitters is the central figure: His part
was exceedingly difficult, calling fer aptness
and originality which were not lacking: Mr..
Davis as Tim Bolus, his assistant in his Gu
rious misapplication of polysyllabic words,
was exceedingly funny.
The other characters, taken by Misses
Randall. Berry and Carpenter, and Mr.. Z. G.
Mitchell, were all done in graceful manner.
Mr.. p. b. Hunt was the leading spirit OF
"Checkmate," and, although having taken
the part at short notice, was the genuine wit
of the play. Altogether the affair was high
ly successful and the associated Amateurs
will doubtless receive goodly contribution
as the result.

mother, who is now an old and feeble wo-

The annual promenade concert and coffee
party in aid of st. Patrick's Conference of
St. Vincent de Paul, was given at City Hall
last evening. The house was thronged, and
the occasion was very pleasant one. Grim

order of twelve dances, which pleased every
body, and Caterer Grewer had charge of the
refreshment room, where an excellent sup
per was served. Mr.. John p. Buckley was
floor director, and the following were his

BACK PAY.
Petition to be Presented to the State
Encampment Tomorrow.

The following petition. drawn by Colonel
John G.. Cobb, has been endorsed by Posts
Bosworth and Thatcher of this city, and cop
les have been sent to other Grand Army
posts in Maine:
To the Honorable Senate and House of Represef-
tdtjCes in Congress assembled;
The undersigned, honorably discharged officers.
soldiers and sailors of the war of 1910, citizens
of the State OF Maine, respectfully request your
honorable body TO cause your r0mnttee on claims
or the appropriate committee-to prepare and
present at once, and at the present session of
dseRarSsd ocep Pay Gac ae SorI ho

every Officer, soldier or sailor who died or was
killed while in the service since, in fullthat is,
to pay to him or them the difference III value be-
tween the appreciated currency in which he was
raid for his services by the government in gold
or appreciated currency and the legal interest on
all such differences found to be due each oficer,
soldier and sailor. interest TO be computed from
the date when each partial payment was made TO
him or them IN deprecated currency 10 the date
OF final and full payment.
We ask this as matter of justice and right. We
consider our services to have been worth as much
to the country, in those perilous times, as the
the bondholders' money. The oondholders have
been paid in gold or its equivalent, both principal
and Interest. The soldiers and sailors of this
country made it possible to so pay them.
we ask the government to be as Just e US as TO
gold for his bonds, we, the soldiers and sailors
took paper promises whose purchasing power
was not much, II any, above onethird that OF
gold and now when the government Is abundant
ly able 70 pay us, we think it time for 1t TO be
just TO its defenders. Therefore, we pray your
honorable body to see to it that immediate and
exact justice be dome in this behalf, and that
bill be framed and passed now, that shall cover
all the ground set forth in this petition. and that
shall be Of present benefit 10 the widows and or
phans of those who fell in defence OF their coun-
try, and those who died of wounds or disease In
the service or since and to those who still survive.
This petition was drawn up on the 2Sth of
January, and copies have been sent, as has
been said, to all posts of the Grand Army in
Maine. During the ten days that have
elapsed, more than forty posts have returned
the petitions approved. The whole number
of posts is 100, and the indications are now
that the response will be substantially unan-
imous. The matter will be presented to the
State Encampment at its meeting today.
