The members of the medical profess
sion in Hamilton are greatly interested
in remarkable surgical operation which
took place in the west end of the city
about week ago. 1t is said that the
case is in some of its features SO curl
Gus as to be unprecedented.
A little girl, three years of age, was
troubled with what appeared to be a
tumor rapidly growing out of the small
of her back. The growth was soft, and
had all the characteristics of a fatty
tumor, excepting that there was a well
defined bone OF triangular shape en-
bedded in it. The supposed tumor was
the shape of sugar loaf, with an inden-
tation at the crown. 1t was about six
inches in diameter, and stood out from
the back fully five inches. 1t was de-
cided to have it removed. Seven CITY
doctors were present at the operation.
1t was not successful; the child died
thirty-six hours afterward.
The dissection of the mysterious
growth and the postmortem held on
the child's body revealed some remark
able facts. A portion Of the spinal col
umn was wanting, and from the cavity
the growth proceeded. There was in
the supposed tumor evidence of the be-
ginning of another and independent
life, rudimentary organs having already
been formed. If no operation had been
performed this independent life would
have continued to grow until, no doubt,
it would have developed into mon
strosity and ultimately caused DEATH

The new ballot law undoubtedly
kept several voters from the polls,
but there was no necessity for these
men remaining away. Nothing could
be easier for man to do than pre-
pare his own ballot, provided he has
sufficient education to read print.
The new system was given fair trial
and is commended in all parts of the
state. If the clause in the constitu.
tion requiring ballots to be num-
bered had been repealed last Novem-
Der we would now have real system
of secret voting.

Worse Than an Annrchis ist.

At recent meeting in Homestead an
address was made by Rev. Andrews,
who said that if Frick was not so rich a
man, or if his acts and treatment of the
laboring men had occurred in England,
he would have been hanged. He de-
nounced Frick as the "archdevil" for
bringing the Pinkertons to Homestead,
and saddled the responsibility for the
fatal riot of July 6 upon him. "Mr.
Frick," said he, twas worse than an
anarchist; was worse menace to this
country than the Vaccinations of all the
anarchists combined" At the close of
Mr.. Andrews speech the applause WAS
tremendous, lasting fully ten minutes.

In the Luzerne county returns
there is one fact noticeable that
proves the voters must have known
what they were doing on Tuesday.
The men who voted for Cleveland also
voted for Hines, and those who voted
for Harrison did The same for Foster.
By doing this the citizens showed
they understood that the candidates
for president and congressman stood
upon the same platform, and to split
upon these two offices would be an
abandonment of their principles. 1t
is said the count will not give a differ.
ence of ten in the majorities of Cleve-
land and Hines.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1892-11-14

The Philadelphia Press has taken
the defeat of Harrison harder than
any Republican organ in the country.
Its editorials since election day are Of
a kind that deserve the severest con,
demnation. 1t claims that the bust
ness interests of the nation will unde.
go depression, and great stagna-
tion in every industry will result.
To believe the Press one would feel
certain that the country will go to
the "dogs" after the fourth of next
March. But the people don't believe
the Press or take any stock in its
pessimistic views.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1892-11-14

Is there no political gratitude ex-
tant? The Republicans lament that
the "old soldier vote" the "colored
VOTE" the "Irish-American vote" and
the "German vote" have all "gone
back on them" And now comes the
latest and worst news, to the effect
that they have lost the women voters
of Wyoming.-Record.

psAszRous FOREST FIRES.
CONGREGATIONS That Caused Much Dam
age in New Jersey.

MAYS LANDING, N. j., May Anon
day was great day for forest fires in
Atlantic county. Four large fires ragged
In different parts of the county all day,
creating great destruction. The worst
fire was at Estelleville, four miles from
here, and at one time it was feared that
the little village would be burned out
A careless farmer burning brush started
this fire.
Large forces of men from this place
and other surrounding places fought the
flames all day with but little success, as
the heat was so intense as to be unbear-
able. The residents had no thoughts of
going to their beds. At s o'clock a
heavy thunder storm came up, and at
10 the flames were extinguished. The
storm waa a Godsend TO the poor peo-
pie, who had labored hard all day tc
save their homes. Their loss will reach
several thousand dollars.
Another fire that did considerable
damage, burning much young standing
lumber and cord wood, ragged all day al
Gloucester Lane, below Egg HarboI
City. Much fine cedar timber was de-
stroyed by this fire. Two other small
fires ragged between this place and New
field. The destructian by forest fires so
far this season is more than in many
previous years.
BRIDaEToN, N. j., May 4.-Fire in the
woods at Jones island, six miles below
here, burned over 500 acres. 1t was
caused by boys smoking cigarettes
while hunting arbutus.

orapb,te pa,nts for Roof..

II was the opinion Of the members, at
the Fifth Annual Convention Of Master
Painters, Harrisburg, January. 1892, that
the best qualities of lead or mineral paints
will not last longer than two or three years,
and that most Of them win not last over
one year. Graphite paint, however, was
most strongly recommended. One MEM
Der said he had used 1t on a number Of
roofs, aud one roof painted Is years ago
was moi repainied uuiil last fall. Another
member said: ~ painted roof IL years
ago-I can see 1t every day from my win
dow-and from appearances II does not
want anything more r five or ten years
TO come Such testimony from master
painters is worth careful consideration, es-
pecially when it is remembered that the
cost of painting lies chiefly In the money
paid for labor. Graphite paint is manu-
featured by the Joesph Dixon Crucible Co.,
Jersey City, N. j., and they have some
interesting circulars on the subject, which
they send free on request.
