BORN WITHOUT SIN.
Celebration of the Immaculate
Conception.

Among the many feasts and saints days
of the Roman Catholic Church perhaps the
most distinctively American is that of the
Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary.
1t was observed in this city yesterday with
the usual ceremonial, that is to say with
solemn high mass at the cathedral and in
the parochial churches. There would have
been p0ntifcal high mass at the cathedral,
but it was omitted in the absence of the
Archbishop.
The solemnity of this occasion is due to
the fact that Pope Plus TX made the United
States the special beneficiary of the church
dogma as regards the observance of this day.
There is difference of twenty-four hours
in the celebratiUn-the Eastern churches
holding it on the 9th and the Western on
the Sih.
The feast of the immaculate Conception
is one of the oldest among Catholic COM
munities. The Greek Emperor, Manuel
Commons, who died in $780, in his Noyella,
quoted by Balsam0n, mentions the feast of
the Blessed Virgins Conception as one to
be observed by the people on December 9th.
In this country, as before stated, it is usu-
ally observed on December Sth. England
was the first among the countries of West
ern Europe to keep the feast, and the Coun
ell OF London, held in 1928, traced its intro
duction to San Anselmo. in England, whence
tue observance was extended to Normandy
and the south Of France. Mention is made
in Catholic records of observances of the
day under SiXtus ", Plus Y, Clement VIII
and Clement TX. 1t was made a day of
holy obligation by Clement II. Under
Plus IN the Office was changed, and the
feast was entitled that of the Immaculate
Conception of the Blessed Virgin. The
present Pope raised it to "a double of the
first class" thus placing it among the high
est of feaSts

A SURGICAL WONDER,

Knife.

The Telephone Locates the Work for the
Knife.
Two-and-a- lf-year-old Mary Sauerw Elm.
whose home is at 81 East Third street, New
York, is now the star patient in ST. Vincent
Hospital. having undergone a surgical op-
Grafton which, Dr. j. Mount Blyer says. has
never before befalen anybody, either old or
young. She had the Group, and as her
throat was closing up gradually the doctor
inserted a metal tube two inches in length
and a quarter-inch in diameter. In order
that the tube might not be swallowed
silken string was attached to the projecting
rim. Mary recovered from the Group, and
when the doctor inserted his finger in the
child's mouth he found that she had bitten
off the string and the tube was gone. The
case called for heroic measures, and there
WAS nothing to do but to resort to the knife.
To locate the tube DR.. Blyer made a tele-
phonic test. at one end of an electric wire
lie attached needle, and at the other end
OF the wire telephone receiver. With the
receiver at his ear ne pushed the needle sew
eral times from the exterior through the
child's throat into her windpipe.
At last he heard a distinct tick" through
his telephone. The needle had struck the
metal tube which was lodged in the larynx.
In the presence Of ten house physicians DR..
Frederick S. Denis. who was to use the
knife, cut through the windppe into the
larynX, and finding the tube at the precise
spot indicated, removed it.
In the delicate operation of trachR0tomy
great care has to be taken that the air taken
in through the breathing tube be very warm
To this end a sort of tent was built over
Mary's cot, and within the tent were steam
pipes and a gas-stove. The wound was
constantly sprayed with antiseptics, and
injections of brandy and digitalis were
given to accelerate the hearts action.
Little Mary soon lay peaeefullv sleeping
and drawing her breath of LIE through a
tube projecting from q wound in her
throat. If she continued to thrive as she
did during the twelve hours subsequent to
the operation DR.. Blyer hoped in a few days
to be able to remove the breathing tube and
sew I'D the wound.

Duties collected at the San Francisco Gus
tom-honse during the first eleven months of
1891 were 7,1S0, 467, the largest collections
since 1888.
Shipment of specie from San Francisco
during the first eleven months of the year
were SIS, 5S2 600, against S11, 422, 600 during
the same period in 1890. Our largest exports
this year were in gold coin. which amounted
to 81, 5G3,000 against 81, 452, 700 in 1899.
Iron Is slowly rising. The Philadelphia
Record says the iron markets throughout
the country have gained strength during
the past week with the increasing demand
Tor all classes of products. The pig-iron
market has felt the improvement more than
any other branch of business, aud cOnsum-
erS are beginning to inquire for larger guam
titles than they have been purchasing for
some time past The strength that the pig
iron market displays in the face of enormous
production is che of the encouraging features
of the situation, aud it shows that the trade
as whole is in good healthy condition.
The supply of pig-iron is still slightly in eX-
cess of the demand, but the producers man
ifest no anxiety about disposing of their
output, and are not willing to consider any
offers below full market prices.
While lumber dealers still nomnally ad-
here to the agreed-upon schedule, the mar
ket lacks frmneSs and buyers are given
liberal concessions. The receipts at this
port during the first eleven months of 1891,
compared with the same time in 1890, were

New ORLEANS, La, Got. 4.--The Times
Democrats Corpus Christi special says the
city was thrown into excitement by finding
the body of girl II years old floating in
the bay. 1t proved to be that Of Rowena
Hamln. The discovery revealed the fact
that Horace HamIin, father Of the girl.
had left his residence at five O'Clock In the
morning for walk, accompanied by his
two-yenr- old boy and two dauRhsers, aged
II and 13 years respectively. After the
finding Of the first body thousands of poo
pie assembled at tho wharf and the bay
was dragged. In short time the body Of
the daughter Helen was brought to the sur
face and soon after those OF tho father and
the boy. The poor wife iR heart broken
and cannot understand the matter at all.
She said he asked her to accompany them
on walk in the morning but that she ex-
cnsed herself on the ground OF not feeling
we'll. Hamlin never had any family diff
culties and the rash act is attributed to his
failure in business and reduced circum-
stances. The wife thinks the drowning
was accidental. The victims were buried
this afternoon.
