five-year-old Fay was surely the happiest

he; 'here we are at Grand avenue, and

EATS THROUGH A TUBE.

An Operation More Complicated Than
Tracheotomy Successfully Performed.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 25-Prof L. McLane
Tiffany, assisted by other professors OF the
Maryland University of Medicine, recently
performed one of the most daring and dltil-
cult surgical operations ever attempted.
The patient, lady of about 45 years, had
been suffering for long time with structure
of the throat, which developed to such an
alarming extent that her throat closed up
90 that it was impossible for her either to
breathe freely or swallow, and unless some
immediate action was taken there was great
danger of her starving to death.
Prof. Tiffany had her placed in the Mary
land University Hospital. First it was de-
cided to perform the operation of tracheo-
tony, which consists of cutting through
the wind-pipe and inserting q silver tube
to breathe through. Then it was proposed
to cut through the abdominal wall and In
sert tube in the sack of the stomach 80
that food could be forced into it. An open
ing was made in the throat just below the
structure Just large enough to allow
tube TO pass in. On this tube sponge satu-
rated with chloroform was held tightly py
an assistant, and as the patient breathed
through the TUBE sne lnnaleu Ine SHi1O
form into her lungs and In a very short
time lost consciousness. Next laparo-
tony was performed, which consisted
of making a cut through the walls
of the abdomen. When this had been done
gastrotomy was performed, which consisted
of q careful search of the sack of the stom-
ach, of which. when found, one corner was
pulled through the cut in the abdominal
wall and sewed very carefully. The infiu-
ence of the chloroform was then dispelled,
and three days afterward an incision was
made in the sack of the stomssh, in which a
silver tube was placed. The operation took
place three weeks ago, but DR.. Tiffany
would not announce it to the public until
confident of its success. The patient has
now nearly recovered. She takes all food
through the tube in her stomach, and unless
the structure in her throat be removed she
may never again swallow her food.

Special Services Were Held In Many OF the
Churchts.
NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Just enough snow
fell today to prevent New Workers having
a green Christmas. The day dawned clear
enough, but soon the sky clouded up and
and when late risers took their first peeps
from their windows, they saw the house
and streets mantled in white. A high
wind prevailed all day. and this with the
usually frigid temperature, induced many
people to keep in doors.
Neve rtheless, the churches were never
so thronged at Christmas services as they
were today. Special services were held in
all Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches
and in most of the churches of the other
denominations. Many churches were
beautifully decorated and in nearly all there
was a special musical programme. At all
the prisons, mission houses and charitable
institutions substantial Christmas dinners
were served to the inmates.
