IS IT PRACTICABLE?
An Inventor Proposes to Heal
 Wounds Without Danger.

T.. $. Lnslay, an architect of Kansas City, Mo- has discovered and patented q process whereby patients in hospitals can be operated upon without danger of gangrcnc, suppura- tion or inflammation of any character. The process is described by the inventor as a method for excluding all vegetable and ami mal microbes from entering into the incision. The inventor claims that any operation can be performed without danger of the attend ant complications usual to all surgical opcr 'ations.
 Several prominent physicians have been in. vtcd to attend he test. Dr. w. S. Hallcy, of kansas City, has invested S10,O ,OOO in plant where the first experiment. takes place. 1t is proposed in the presence of the visiting sur grons. to take out the intcstincs of d patient and replace them, sew up the incision and have the man as well as before in a few days. The inventors theory is that by preparing an operating room which is perfectly free from all vegetable dccom position otherwise stcrilizcd air-hc can prevent the process Of decomposition.

Secretary of State Kelsey. of New Jersey, who by virtue of his office. is also State Com missioner of Banks and Insurance, is inyesti- gatng charges made against the legality of un organization known the order of the Financial tInion now doing business in that State on the insurance plan. For some time he has been in receipt of complaints from diff ferent parts of the State against the order, and there is more or less agitation over its affairs. He has decided to take summary action against it at once.
 Secretary Kelsey says that the proposi- tion of the society to its members to pay them $1,OOO ill five years in considera- ton of their paying in $2G6 is a fraud on the face of it, because it is perfectly clear that no corporation can comply with such con tract with all it's members. It's certificate of in- corporation, he adds, has no reference what ever to the authority to do aninsurance busi- ness under the laws of the State, nor to it's official or financial standing, and the publi cation of extracts from the certificate are clearly for the purpose of deceiving the pub

An Abused Image of Washington.

Sypher. the New York dealer in art
relics. curios, etc, has in his establish
ment a wooden statue of George Wash
ington with a history. The statue was
set up at the Battery in 1874 and there
it stood for 40 years or more until it got
badly battered and became an cyesore to
artists and art lovers. It was then put
up at auction by the city, and the city
got soundly berated for the dignity.
A French dealer i'll relics named Jacques
bought the figure on speculation for
$3.50 and failing 70 realize upon it
slowed it away in the attic of his
country-house al South Norwalk, Conn.,
NJ. Jacques died in 1863 and at the sub
sequent sale of his effects the wooden
George fell into the hands of Yankee
curiosity hunter, who paid a mere trihc
for it and sold it at a considerable ad-
vance to one Frederick j. Theobald,
who placed 1t in front of a modest es-
tablishment in Harlem, which was
henceforth known as the "Washington
Cigar Store" Every 22d of February
and 4th of July Mr.. Theobald religiously
decorated the statue with flags. One
day, not very long ago, Mr.. Sypher
heard of the ignoble use to which the
father of his country was put and opened
negotiations which resulted in his get
ting possession of the same. The figure
is 8 feet 10 inches high, and is a credit
able work of its kind. Washington is
represented as standing in an easy pos
ture, holding a chapeau at his hip. The
Continental costume consists of blush
black coat, white waistcoat, buff
breeches and top boots. The old fash
ioned fob is in its proper place. and the
expression of the face is benignant-
