Morello Wins the Race, With a Bic

SHEEPsHEAD BAY IN. ", Aug. 2S.-
The great Futurity Stake was won yes
terday by a horse that under ordinary
conditions would not have been per-
mitted to leave the stable, and Morello's
owners are tonight richer by $4,000
through the gameness Of their animal.
The disagreeable weather cut the attend
ance down to 0,OO0 persons, and the track
was heavy. While the winner stood at
the post before the race saliva fell from
his nostrils profusely, and people thought
that trainer Van Ness must be crazy TO
send the colt to the post in such q con-
dition, for Morello was suffering from
severe attack of influenza.
The race for the Faturity stakes came

was outspeeded in the opening sixteenth

ONE OF sURGRRY,s WONDERS
The Entire Roof of Woman's Mouth
Taken Out to Cure a Cancer.

Iaken OuC TO cure a Cancer.
A remarkable operation, in which the
surgeons of Mount Sinai Hospital, New
York. are greatly interested, took place
at that institution recently. A woman
about 40 years of age, with a second
growth of cancer entirely filling her
mouth and attached to the roof, was the
patient, and DIR. John A. Wyeth the op-
orator. The patient was placed under the
influence of ether, and, the Mornind
Journal says, the operation was begun
by making an incision from the left end
OF the mouth across the cheek to the ear.
The consciousness OF the patient return
ing rapidly the surgeon, in consequence,
directed a young assistant to administer
chloroform. A circular incisiou was then
cut around the outside portion of the can
Ger, and in doing so a free hemorrhage
was encountered.
The mouth was then opened as widely
as possible, and the surgeon introduced
one of the larger Rougeur forceps, grasp
ing as much OF the growth as the instru-
ment could catch at once. In the same
manner the entire cancer was extracted.
The bony parts of the mouth to which
the cancer was affixed as far back as the
pterygoid process and the palate bones
were removed with it. The patient was
then taken back to the ward and placed
under the care of the house surgeon.
This operation is in reality the first of a
series of treatment the patient will have
to undergo for her relief. When she suf-
ficiently RECEIVERS from its effects she
will, first of all, be provided with plate
OF peculiar construction, to take the place
of the roof of the mouth, which has been
literally destroyed, and a special line of
medical treatment will have to be en-
ployed to rally her system after the
shock, and TO exterminate, if possible,
cancerous germs that may remain and
cause its its temperance.

Gold as a Medicine.

Avoiding all discussion of the merits
or demerits of the so-called bichloride of
gold cure, now so prominent in the pub
lie mind, we say that the use of gold as a
medicine Is not so novel as commonly
thought. Early writer's on chemistry
and medicine indicate the opinions held
with respect to alleged 'tinctures of goldD
at different periods during seyeraI CEN
turies. The precious metal has been en-
ployed both externally and internally, in
the metallic state, in solution, and by
sympathy, for great variety of the ills
that flesh is heir to, for over 1000 years.
The train of thought which led the an
clients to employ this highly priced ma
terial can be well told in the quaint Ian
guage of the distinguished Dutch phvsi-
clan and chemist, Hermann Boerhaaye.
writing about l725, ne says: '"The al.
chemists will have this metal contain T
know not what radical balm of life ca
pable OF restoring health and continuing
it to the longest period. What led the
early physician to imagine such wonder
ful virtue IN gold was that they perceived
certain qualities therein which thew fan
cied must be conveyed thereby into the
body; gold, for instance is not capable of
being destroyed, hence they concluded il
must be very proper to preserve animal
substances and save them from putrefac-
ton: which is method of reasoning very
much like that ofsome fancifu1 physician
who sought for an assuaging remedy in
the blood of an ass's ear by reason the ass
is a very calm beastr'-Prof. H. CARING

ELECTRICAL, ENGINEERS
The Best Course of Study to be Pu1
sued by Young Men.

sued by Young Men.
The question as to the best course of
study to be pursued by young men seek
ing to gain thorough knowledge of
electrical engineering received consider
able attention at the late annual meetiup
of the Institute of Electrical Engineers.
Most of the leading technical COLLEGES
were represented by their professors
of electrical engineering and phvsics.
and the proceedings, which were quite
animated, served to contribute much
valuable information upon this inn
portant subject. In a paper read at this
meeting Professor Owens pointed ont
that at the present day there were really
three distinct classes of electrical en-
glneers-lnstalilng engineers, who super
intend the construction and operation
of lighting and power plants; design
ing engineers, whose province relates
to the construction or manufacture
OF machinery and apparatus, and a
third class who are engaged more par
ticularly in laboratory, standardizing
and experimental work. He thought
that the course IN any technical school
ought to recognize these distinctions,
and that it should be so shaped as
TO conform to the different re-
quirements of the specialized diyis-
ions OF electrical engineering. While
it is neither desirable nor possible that
the courses IN the different schools should
be alike, it is obvious that much waste of
effort might be avoided if the different in
stitutions should observe a certain unity
of purpose and treatment. All were
agreed that the importance of mechanical
drawing and Of manual training as fac
tors in elementary education could not he
overestimated. 1.-THE practical engi-
neer," said Professor Jackson, must be

New Orleans on September 7th, the ex-
element will be intense until the battle
takes place. Both pugilists will be in

until they leave on their respective trains
for the battle-ground.
Sullivan will show at the Clermont
avenue ring, in Brooklyn, tomorrow
night, and it is thought the building will
not be able to accommodate the large
throng that will crowd there to see him.
Corbett, on the other hand. will give a
double-headed entertainment at Madison
Square Garden. In the afternoon the en-
tertainment will consist chiefly Of exhib-
iting his style of training to the public.
In the evening the entertainment will
consist chiefly of boxing, wrestling and
exhibition of handball playing between
himself and Lawlor, the Irish champion.
1t is pretty generally believed that both
entertainments will be largely attended.

ious as to know what the outcome will be
