Secretary Fosters Rulings on Some
Questions Asked from Vermont.
WASHINGTON CITY, May lI.-Secretary
Foster has written letter to the COLLIE
tor of customs at Burlington, VT, in
which he defines his on position the ope ra.
ton of the alien contract law along the
Canadian border. The condition of af.
fairs is as follows: The Canadian Pacific
railway crosses and recrosses the interna-
tioral boundary line, running partly in
Canada and partly in the United States.
The railway road repairers, etc, work
along the line in both countries and are
mostly Canadians. The collector wants
to know whether these employees must be
changed everytime the line is crossed.
The Secretary's Reply.
Another point is that the Canadian Pa
cific sends men into the United States to
work temporarily as station agents, yard
men, etc, and a definition of the alien la
bor law is asked on this matter also Sec.
rotary Foster replies that as to the road
repairers, etc, and also as to con
ductors, engineers and brakemen, they
do not come under the alien law But he
declines to extend this ruling to station
agents, yard men and other employees OF
that character.

Case of Boy Who Had an Orange
Tree Growing in His Stomach-The
Foreign Product Removed, but the
Boy Notwithstanding Vitality of a
Girl.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, May 1l-Nearly
two years ago Mrs Mary Green applied
for admission to the hospital, and re-
quested that an operation be performed
for the recovery of her false teeth and plate,
which she insisted she had swallowed.
After an examination the physicians de
clared that there was no foreign substance
OF the kind in the woman's stomach. She
declared, however, that she could feel the
teeth in the upper part Of the stomach.
and an operation was performed. Believ.
ing the case to be one of mental disorder,
the doctor acknowledged finding the teeth
in order to satisfy Mrs. Green. She was
better for while, but again asserted that
she could feel the teeth.
Finally Found in the Outlet.
She went to New York, where at a
homeopathic hospital another operation
was performed, but no teeth could be
found. Friday morning Mrs. Green died
of consumption. and at the post'mortem
DR.. Blodgett and his assistants found the
plate and teeth in the woman's gullet,
about two inches above the stomach. The
curved plate fitted the pipe so well that
there was no obstruction to food as ii
passed down the throat, and the plate
was already partly encysted by a growth
OF flesh over the edge OF the metal. The
physicians believe it to be the only case OF
the kind on record.
