The subject of the controversy is coney

The duty assessed was 90 per cent ad

tend that the skins should come in duty

The skins are used in the manufacture

TO CURE INSANITY.
Surgeons Knife Cuts Out the DI
RaeeA Rr,Nr,

Surgeons Knife Cuts Out the Dis
! eased Brain.
One OF the most interesting operations
ever undertaken in surgery was per.
formed this week at the University Hos.
pital. Philadelphia, by DR.. ]. William
White.
The operation consisted of the re.
moval of diseased portion of a mans
brain so that he may regain his sanity
after having been mentally deranged
for many years.
The patient is a middle aged man
named Scenchman. Twenty three years
ago he met with an accident in rolling
mill. Part of his skull was cut by the
accident, leaving hole an inch square.
The wound was ragged and pieces of
the skull bone dropped into the brain.
During the succeeding years these bits of
bone became inhamed and diseased the
brain.
Scenchman was not much troubled ap-
parently by the accident until about five
years ago. Then he began to change in
disposition and became cross and petu-
liant. Finally insanity came and his rela-
tives gave up all hopes of his ever re-
gaining sound mental condition. Re-
Gently they had him removed to the
surgical department of the University
Hospital.
After careful examination DR.. White
decided that in order to save the mans
life the diseased part of his brain would
have to be removed.
The hole in the mans head was covered
with cartilaginous tissues almost as hard
as the skull bone This was trephined,
and then the brain was laid open to view,
and the diseased portion removed. The
wound was then properly closed and
sewed up.
Scenchman has improved with the op-
Grafton, and has shown himself to be per-
fectly sane.

The anti-Pinkerton resolution intro
duced by Representative Watson, of
Georgia, has been the subject of much
discussion in the House committee on
judiciary.
The Farmers Alliance Representative
made strong argument in favor of his
resolution and insisted that it was the
duty Of Congress to investigate thor
oughly the abuses that had grown up
under the practices of Pinkertonism, and
take prompt steps to suppress this quasi
militia organization, which had been
fostered by capitalists alone, and which
as the paid agent of monopoly was
constant menace to the liberty of the
common people.
