HIS HEART CEASED TO BEAT.
But Activity Was Iscnswed by Daring
Surgeon.

Surgeon.
New YoHE. Dee. 22.--~1he medical profess
sion 10 much stirred, 30 far as it In yet
familiar with the details Of tho case, by the
story of remarkable surgical operation
performed within few days by DR.. Albert
Shank, OF this city. Jnmes McCauRhy,
aged IL, was suffering from "appendie dieitis."
Tho trouble WAS caused by some foreign
substance entering the yermiform appsn-
dix. The doctor, when called, found tho
patient in bad way and recommended an
operation, his dieRnosis showing an abscess
forming around the vcrmiform appendix,
The parents delayed tho operation until the
arrival Of fsiatiyea who had been sum-
moned. When finally ready for the opera
tion, the doctor discovered that tho absoess
had just broken and pus was flooding the
abdominal cavity.
In this crisis it seemed clear that the boy
was dying. The doctor told the relatives
1t was barely possible the operation might
save him, but the chances were many times
against it. They insisted on his proceed
ing. 1he patient was nnmsthetized, and
as soon 80 IN opening was made in tho alb
donnon there was II pientaous flow Of pus.
At almost the same moment the pulae
ceased to beat, tho heart stopped and every
evidence of most complete collapse be-
tokened the presence OF death. The doc
tor instantly enlarged the incision, and
holding it open with one hand, he poured
with the other the contents of pitcher of
hot water into tho abdominal cavity. In a
few minutes there was renewal of heart
action, and, aided by hypodsrmio injec-
tions, the boy slowly returned to life. The
foreign substance WAS quickly located and
removed. The operation was completed,
and the boy is now on the road to recovery.

THE ENDOWMENT PLAN.

A Scheme That Will Commend Itself to
Owners of Cemetery Lots.
At the meeting Of the stockholders Of the
Helena Cemetery association, held last
week, the trustees were authorized to adopt
what is known as the endowment plan for
the care of lots in the cemetery. The plan
has been tried in Riverside cemetery, Dem
yer. and at other places, and has proven a
great success. In brief the plan is this
The owner of every whole lot or fraction
greater than one half pays 500. and every
owner of fraction of lot loss than one-
half pays $50 to the trustees. The money
thus received is placed in q separate fund
and the income from it used to keep the
lots in order. The plan has the advantage
thas the one payment pays for the care of a
lot for all time. As it is now the payment
of $6 each season only does for that time,
and when the payment ceases the care of
tho lot by the association also ends.
I he trustees of the association elected at
the last meeting are N. w. Mcconnell, Cor
nelius Hedges, A. M. Thornburgh. j. j.
Lockhart and Peter Winnie. Tho officers
a, Peter Winnie, president; N. W. MoCon-
nell, vice president. and j. j. Lockhart,
