SUCCESS OF SURGICAL SCIENCE.
An Operation Performed to Overcome q
nafnrmffv

An Operation Performed to Overcome q
Deformity.
Herman Green, aged 4, has recently
undergone an unusual surgical opera
ton at the New Haven hospital. His
neither limbs were badly deformed, the
trouble being genu varum or what is
commonly called bow legs. Being a
young child surgical science has a rem
edy for the deformity which has proved
successful many times. The operation
is osteoromy and consists of breaking
the bones of the limb and Strengthening
them. Precautions are taken to have
the bones knit straight, and as a result
the deformity is overcome.
In the boys case two operations were
performed, the last one on Sunday, with
apparent success, by DIR VIII. Carmalt,
assisted by DR. futile, one of the hos
pital physicians. The patient was ether
lied and an instrument used to break
the bones. This instrument consists of
a steel bar to which are attached rings
that fit the limb, keeping 1t in place. In
the center of the bar is a thum screw
with padded end that is forced against
ours directly under the pad.
The boy is resting comfortably. His
limbs are maintained in rigid position
by bandages and to the feet are
attached, by adhesion plaster, ropes to
which are suspended pals of water and
which pass through pulleys. The water
pals are used as weights to keep the
limbs extended perpendicularly and
prevent their going back into the old
curvature.
The case has several precedents
locally, one of which was that of q
Waterbury boy who was treated a year
ago. He visited the hospital recently
and his limbs were as straight as though
never deformed,

WORLD OF SPORTS.
The Day of High SaIaried Base Bal
Players Thing of the Past.

The Day of High Salaried Base Ball
Players a Thing nf the Past.
Tom Burns of New Britain, third
baseman of the Chicago base ball club,
says that the day has gone by when
young players will get $4,000 or So, 500
for seasons work. Fifteen hundred
dollars would probably be the average
salary of these players in the future, or
at least for some time. This reduction
will make it possible for base ball to be
played at profit, and those who in
vested their money in backing clubs
would be more certain of getting
dividends.
Base ball magnates all over the
country universally unite in the opinion
that the establishment of the 12-club
league will give base ball new life and
restore the great boom of 1889. e.
There is a feeling in some quarters
that the Chicago clublgot decidedly left
at Indianapolis; but il Arson doesn't
land on his feet as usual next spring,
the base ball world at large Will be
greatly disappointed.
McQuade stands no show whatever of
being appointed league umpire next
season if the words of President Young,
uttered at the last annual meeting of the
old league, hold good. "Under no cir
cumstances would I have reappointed
McQuade, even if he had not signed
with the association. l had done with
him and would have dropped him any,
way" Lynch, Sheridan, Emslie, and,
possibly, Gaffney and Mahoney, will be
among the league umpires next season.
New York is up in arms over Presi-
dent 4oung's announcement that Dan
Richardson will play in Washington
next year. The New York club claims
Richardson and put in bid for him at
Indianapolis. President Day has made
a formal protest to President Young
against Richardson going elsewhere,
and demanding that he be given to New
York. If Day fails in his demand, he

NEW YORK e NEW ENGLAND.
Freight and Passenger Traffic Yer,
Heavy.

hcdVys
Superintendent of Transportation
Dewey, of the New York & New Eng
land railroad, said yesterday that the
heavy freight business on the road still
continued and probably would continue
until late in January. The road is
being taxed to its utmost capacity to
handle its business and freight is being
pushed through as rapidly as possible.
The passenger service is also very large.
Trains are run promptly, and this
branch of the business is also very
heavy in both directions.
The Long Island and Eastern States
train is advancing in popular favor.
The train has come to stay, and the
working of this important through
service between Boston and New York
is railroad enterprise worth consider
able to the travelling public. Eight
hours between Boston and New York
by sleeper is on par with the best of
through train service. i.,..'
The officials of the road say that the
statement that the men are not given
proper time to sleep is untrue. EsThe
New York and New England officials -
they add, care doing all in their power
to keep their trains moving on time,
and care for the safety of their
thousands of passengers and they will
continue to do SO with the utmost
vigilance
Conductor Marshall G.. Thayer of the
New York & New England road has
been promoted to trainmaster of the
western division of the road. Con-
ductor Thayer is at present running
between Fishkill and Boston and is one
of the best known men on the road,
His promotion is caused by the ad-
vancement of II. D. Masters to fill the
vacancy caused by the retirement of
]. F. Russ. Conductor Peter McCabe
now has charge of Thayer's old run.
