alone having 1,6O0 arc lights for street
lighting on city contract, 500 more for
commercial purposes, and 5000 incan-
descent. It's big job, and will run up
to about half a million dollars. There
are several other tidy little contracts
on a carpet, and we are look
ing after our end with
our usual care. 1 expected to remain
here several days, but was suddenly
called home on business. l will try to
get back next Tuesday, however"
81 suppose you have noticed that the
city authorities are talking incandescent

Eyes, so I see. It's the thing to do.
They might as well go right along with
the thing. 1 hear they are putting in
the extra foundations at the plant and
are negotiating with the Company, and
that looks like business"

CHANGED HIS TUNL,
PrOteetionists Now point With
Pride" TO Cheap Sugar.

Last year the Mckinley stump.
ers and newspapers declared that
they =" despiscd cheapness. " They
accepted the Presidents pet phrase
that ca cheap coat means u cheap
man." They proclaimed that tax
sustained DEAFNESS was necessary to
the payment of high wages to
American Wofkmen.
And the American people sat
down on them with the weight of
over 900, 900 majority.
This year, with Mckinley him
self at their head, they have
changed their tune. They point to
cheap sugar-made cheap by taking
of the tariff tax-as their great
achievement. And they parade a
carefully selected list of other arti.
cles which they claim are cheapef
than formerly.
II taxes cheaper articles why did
they stop at co per cent? Why not
make tariff of 100 per cent OF
higher? ? Do they expect the
American voter to believe that,
while untaxing sugar has made II
cheaper. taxing still higher cloth.
ing. food, fuel. glass. crockery and
other necessaries has likewise made
them cheaper?
The American voter is not such
a fool as the McKinleyites take
HIM to be.
If in any case OF increased duty
the price Of the article has not ad.
vanced, then the law has failed OF
its purpose. If the object of pro.
lection be not to compel importers
to enable home manufacturers to
charge "A higher price than they
would without, then it has nc
object.

A NEW BONE GROWS,

last April DR.. Il. Ii. Bradford
OF Boston, removed diseased thigh
bone from the leg Of boy at tho
Chlldren's Hospital in that city.
Since that timo a new bone has
grown in place. and the prospects
are the boy will have q sound limb
to walk with before next Christmas.
The operation OF sesquiotomy is
not new to surgery, but tile oases
are extremely rare in which so largo
a bone has been replaced by nature.
In this instance the piece cut away
was about nine inches IN length.
The limb was laid open from tho
knee JOINT to the hip and the disease
bone tissue removed. Tho pctios.
teu,n, or skin OF the bone however.
was carefully preserved, for upon it
depended the success OF the opera
ton, 1t being woll established
fact in surgery that healthy porios-
toum wall reproduce lost bone tls-
sue.
The wound in tho leg was kept
open to prevent tho flesh from heal
ing into the place intended for tho
new bone. In the course Of time
4
delicate shoots, resembling coral
grewths, appeared upon the perios.
teum, and these gradually inter.
laced and knit together, filing the
hiatus between the hip and the
knee. When the new growth was
sufficiently established, the lips of
the wound were sewed together and
the boy was discharged from the
hospital as cured.
1t will be some months yet before
the leg will be serviccable, but there
IS every reason to believe that il
will eventually become as sound as
us mate. during the time required
for the growth Of the new tissue the
limb was extended to its full length
by an arrangement Of weights and
pulleys and kept in position by
plaster Of Paris bandages. This
was to prevent shrinkage and q
consequent shortening Of the limb.
Similar operation was successful
ly performed few years ago by
DR.. George f. Slardy at the Pres
byterian Hospital In this city. An
entirely new bone was reproduced
from the shoulder to the elbow in
the arm Of man who had lost the
original bone as the result Of an &C.

on the ground floor OF the hotel,
the windows and doors OF which
opened on the street. Judge Lump
kin, when sound asleep, could
awaken the natives with his loud
breathing. About midnight, when
everything was quiet, the judge
commenced putting, blowing and
snoring IN his sleep.
Out on the street was little

arch Of all he surveyed" He heard
the snoring of Judge Lumpkin, and
he must imagined that it Vas one
of his rivals from q neighboring
plantation. The little bull throw n
few bushels Of dirt over his back
and prepared for battle. He bel.
lowed once or twice to notify his
adversary that lie vas onthc ground,
but it did not disturb the Governor
in the least. The snoring went OH
without intermsslon. This exas-
peratod the little bull, and curling
his tail ovOr his back, he made q
break for the window and went
through it, caffying everything be-
fore him on his horns. The sudden
rush of the bull into the room
awakened the Governor, and, tax
ing in the situation, ho left, with
the bull in full possession Of tho

EVERYBODY LOVES DIXIE

1t has often been remarked that
the familiar air of "Dixie" Will
elicit more applause than any other
piece of music that may be perform.
cd. A medley Of national or patri-
otto airs will usually contain
"Dixio," and that particular tune
will be greeted with a degree Of APP
plause that quite throws everything
else in the shade.
This fact is attributed to South
ern sentiment, but it is far from
correct. The Northern soldier sang
"DixIe" and marched to- Dixie"
IN the great cafnpaIens. Every
Union band used to play it and ev-
cry Union soldier has lightcued tho
knapsack and accoutrements by
joining in the lively tune with his
comrades. Besides this, Dixie"
is a lovely bit OF music, and in the
opinion Of eminent composers is
superior to almost all the national
airs Of the world--conspicuously to
those Of this country.
