A Woman Plays an Innocent Part in the
SharneSt SWindIa of the Seasnn

A Woman Plays an Innocent Part in the
sharpest SwiDdle OF the Season.
A woman living up in Harlem was telling
the other day how she took an innocent part
in the playing Of a clever dodge by bold
and successful swindler.
The woman in question occupies large
house and rents rooms to men only, says the
New York Commercial. To her recently
came progressing looking youth of good
address. desiring to look at the second flo
hall bedroom if it was vacant. The room
was vacant, and an examination proved IT,
be satisfactory.
u will take it for week." said the
young man. i want TO go and get some of
my things. l will be back In half an hour
and pay you for the room on taking posses
siou."
The young man departed and not long
after came back with comfortable bundle
under his arm and accompanied by another
young fellow, to whom he said:
Just sit down here III the paror while |
90 upstairs; III be down Ii n minute"
Youth l goes upstairs. Youth settles
himself in the parlor and waits. Presently
the lady of the house enters and learns that
her new 'roomer" is upstairs aud will be
down directly. The upstairs man does not
descend, however, and the waiting youth
says carelessly: We'll. suppose you might
as well pay this bill now as at any time"
"Billt What bill?"
Why. this little bull for your sons
clothes"
But, good gracious, haven't any sor.''
What? That fellow that Just went Hp-
stairs isn't your son! Why, he came to our
store, bought suit of clothes, and said il
came down with him his mother would pay
for them"
An immediate search of the hall bed
room. second floor, followed, but the bird
had flown after donning the new piumage
and leaving the old behind.
The manager of the clothing house, sum
moned to the scene, reflected a moment
after hearing the story and concluded:
well, that's the sharpest trick I've sean
played this season. The risk of detection
that fellow ran is enough to let him out He
can have the Clothes"

AN IDIOTS BRAINS.
An Operation in Which Philadelpt

An Operation in Which Philadelphia
Surgeons Are Deeply Interested.
The surgeons Of Philadelphia are watch
ing with much interest the result of the
operation on Leroy Mol. the tnree-year-old
idiot, at the Hahnemann Hospital The
child is resting easily, although no pro-
nounced Improvement has yet been shown
in his case. After the artificial sutures had
been cut in the skull. ore from the forehead
back six inches and the ether two and half
inches from the base and to the left of and
at right angles to it, the scalp was drawn
over the cavities and sewn up. The boy
will not be disturbed for a month or So
when another strip of the skull, two aud Il
half inches long aud half All inch wide, will
be cut from the right size of the larger
suture, and corresponding 10 the smaller
one on the left.
The extreme youth of the subject, to-
gether with the fact that there is little orno
atrOphy OF Vie limbs apparel are conGi-
tons decidedly favorable. He shows some
signs of intelligence when efforts are made
to entertain INN, but seems entirely ineaDa-
BILE of feeling.
few weeks ago a six-year-old idiot was
treated at the hospital for the same trouble
premature hardening of the sutuFes of
the skull, but no Improvement resulted
other than that the boy entered into tile
second stage of idiOcy.
There are three stages of idiocy, accord
ing to Or. Lacey of Hahnemann Hospital
Blank idioey is the first, the deyiIish stage
is the second, ami the last is that in which
some signs of nationality are shown. The
operation OF month ago is interesting.
Immediately after the operation the sub
Ject, although he was but years old, and
had never uttered word in his life before,
commenced to curse the physicians outra-
geou>ly. This was the only sign of ini-
provement he evinced. The case now on
hand promises better, and if we can judge
at this early day it will be the most success
full on record"
The operation, which is known as linear
craniatoDv, was first performed in France
About twenty-five operations have since
been performed, fifteen of them in this
country, and the majority were more or less
successful The deaths have averaged about
10 per cent

undermined, and when the dirt slid
and swept over the Reconstruction labor
ers the ground on which they stood or

for the bodies in the slide and then sud
denly, ON the afternoon of the disaster.
ordered their men to clear the track
and throw the dirt on the very bean
which contained the bodies of the
dead men. Superintendent Stout and Fore
man Murray acted Wednesday afternoon
as if ne fatality had occurred, or as il they
regarded the mudpie filed with dead as a
good enough burial place for common rail-
road hands, and were disposed not to waste
any time or money in digging up corpses
from the big grave of Eagle Gorge. The
bodies of the men could rot there as well as
in cedar boxes. and they simply proceeded
with the regular work of dirt-shoveling from
the track to the river bank.

Two Aged Maidens Who Have Been Com
panfons for Over Generation.
Miss Lizzie Hart, aged 60 years, of Ale
ghsny, Pa, is confined to her couch by an
injured hip, resulting from a recent fall.
Miss Hart is remarkable woman. She has
lived all her life with Miss Elizabeth Coch-
ran, who is 80 years old, says special to
the Globe-DemOcrat. The two maidens
have lived alone for over generation, both
are confined in the same room, and there is
a likelihood that neither will ever leave her
bed alive. Miss Hart is the great grand
daughter of Honest John Hart one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence.
She is woman Of rare attainments. She
was thoroughly educated. aud has all the
accomplishments of the old school of women.
Her father, Aaron Hart, was Pittsburg
steamboat man. He was wealthy, aud the
old river men of to-day will remember his
many peculiarities.. He owned several Of
the boats putting in at Pittsburg, and he
was always an untiriDg worker, whether on
the water or on the land. He per-
Sonally superintendent his business
affairs and he usually accompanied
his crew up and down the river. He was

leans. Unfortunate speculation and re-
verses before his death left his daughter
Lizzie only in moderate circumstances. She
was pretty girl. With her beauty, her az

refused to entertain any and ali offers

ment held competitive shoot for company
decorations, and large number of marks

showed great deal of enthusiasm in their
endeavor 10 win the trophies of the company.
