change. When StroZynski had counted out
S19 80 tile first customer picked it up with
the $40 piece aud said, Never mind about
the change; have dollar here"
During the confusion the stOrekeeper
made change for the dollar, but when the
men started to walk away he discovered the
swinde and tried to blow a police whistle.
One Of the swindlers drew revolver and
exclaimed: IF you don't keep quiet I'll
blow your head eff j" The men then backed
TO the sidewalk and fed.
StTOZynsk reported the robbery TO the pO-
GcesYesterdaV.

Politics are quiet on the islands, but there

The annexation movement is at present,
apparently without life. A rumOT, which

Admiral Brown had detailed a guard of

What the Physicians Did at It's Second
Days Session.
There was a somewhat larger attendance
than on Wednesday at tie session Of the
California Homeopathic Medical Society
yesterday.
Under the special order Of surgery DR..
R. II. Curtis read a paper Oh Conservatism
in Fracture. With Result" accompanied by
photographs.
DR.. George II. Martin presented "a Case
Of Spina Bifda," accompanied by photo
graph when the patient was a child of 4
years. She is now IS. The case was one Of
abnormal hernia. The photograph depicted
a growth the size of a teacup at the small OF
the back, which was present at birth. The
growth was 80 inches in circumference and
DartOok of the nature of sac, which was
filed with the cerebro-spinal fluid. Any
attempt to draw of the fluid in such cases
generally depleteS the brain matter and is
usually fatal, and consequently al opera
ton was conducted with the greatest eau
ton by Drs Martin and Curtis, the latter
of whom made su incisiOn IN the abnormal
growth. Ten days after the rupture of the
sac II was removed and the opening closed.
The patient remained IN precariOus cOndi-
tion for some time, but she eventually re-
covered and Is now an entirely we'll woman.
