Heroic SeIf-Sacrifice to Save AnOth-
or1C Life

CHICAGO, JAN. IS.-One of the most
unique surgical operations on record
was performed in this city to-day, ana
100 Knights 'remplar gave 10 the "or ,,d
heroic self-sacrifice, made'in order thaI
a sick brother might be restored 10
health. These knights each suffered
the loss of piece of cutlcle, whlcn was
transferred to Sir Knight John Dlcker,
son. The cancer which had attacked
his thigh was moved some time ago, out
so deep and wide an incision had TO De
made in the flesh that nature was uh-
equal to the task OF heailng over Inc
gaming wound. The experiment was
tried of ENGRAVING the skin of some OF
the lower animals, but it failed,
The surgeon in charge announced 10
Dickerson's anxious brethren tnat ii nu-
aan skin could be obtained 1t would ~
ali probabIlity save the patients life
| and insure his complete recovery; me
ouestiOn was, where to obtain SuIncleht
| skin to cover IA square inches OF sur
face. The matter was broached IN tn t
| commandery and to a man the knlgnts
| offerad to submit themselves TO the
necessary operation.
Those Selected by the surgeons nave
had to go through a sort of training, De
ing dieted, ETC., for several Gays pas ~
refrain from any alcoholic stimulant
This morning each man took a Datt
and then repaired to the EmergehcS
Hospital, where the operation was per
formed. One hundred knights had eacl
a small strip of skin removed from tn
arm or leg to be transplanted to DlcKer
sons hip
were present refuse to talk about Tn
details Of the operation, it has pee
learned that nearly all the knights wei
through it without fiinching. FIVE
six tainted when their cuticle was De
J inc removed, but were quickly resuscl
tated. The surgeons worked hard 10
three hours and were themselves prett
. we'll tired out when through.
/ While they will make no poslIN
, statement as to the result of the opera
ton, it is evidently their opinion t tn,
-, it will be entirely successful. IN
knights who offered themselves up l
!, the surgeons knives will eXperlenc
1 but little Inconvenience from the sllgL
4 wounds inflicted upon them.

BLACK EYE FOR LOTTERY.
A Decision Which, if Sustained, VIII Pre-
v.nt Extenslon of the CHARTER.

A Decision Which, if Sustained, VIII Pre-
vent Extension of the Charter.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 20.-The district
court has decided against the Louisiana
State Lottery company and in favor of
the state of Louisiana in the mandamus
suit brought by the latter against the
secretary of state. The suit was to com
pei the secretary of state to promulgate
the lottery amendment to the constitu-
ton, passef7 by the last legislature, in
order that the people may vote on it at
the next election. He refused to do this
ON the ground that the amendment was
never properly passed by the legisla-
ture, having been vetoed by the gov
ernor.
TIE suit, therefore, was to decide
whether the people shall have right to
vote on extending the charter of the
lottery company twenty-five years or
not. The district judge sided with Gov
ernor Nichols and tie secretary of state
in their view of the matter, and refused
the mandamus asked for by the lottery
company The latter will carry the
question at once TO the supreme court.
If the supreme court affirms the de-
cision of the lower tribunal, it will pre-
vent an extension of the lottery com
! pany-s charter.

FROM GAS TO COAL.
Three Thousand Hands to Get Work by
the Return to Old Ways.

WHEELING, w. Va, Jan. 20.-Three
months past have seen a remarkable rev.
olution in manufacture in the Ohio
valley. Over four-ffths of the immense
plants located in this city, Bellaire,
Martins Ferry and north between
Wheeling and Steubenville have been
compelled to abandon the use of natural
gas on account of shortness of supply,
and return to coal 1t is estimated that
employment will be given to 5000 men
in mining and transporting coal by the
change. which affects plants employing
over 5000 hands. To-day the gas fields
which supplied all these industries are
exhausted, and nearly $3,OOo,OOO IN
vested in plants is a complete loss.
