The Strike.

There seems to be little change in the
" strike" situation. 1t was fondly hoped
by many that the negotiations which
were opened with the Saxon Mill owners
might prove the beginning of the end of
tae trouble, but the employers and en-
plOyed failed to agree on terms, and now
the breach seems as wide as ever. A
big mass meeting was held on Merino
Flats on Wednesday afternoon when
Robert Howard addressed the strikers
and in substance advised the strikers to
accept the offer of the mill owners. 1t Is
understood there will be another confer
ence tomorrow, but many people are
beginning to think the " strike will last
until March, at least.

USE DANA'S SARSAPARILLA. IT'S
"TRE KIND THAT CURES"
a HEART IN HIS LEG.

Operation In st. Louis Hospital Upon a
Patient Peculiarly Afflicted.
DR.. Marks, superintendent of the City
hospital, cut heart out OF mans leg
recently. Instead of being necessary to
the patients existence, as hearts usually
are, this organ was a very dangerous
possession and was likely TO end his life
at any moment. The heart was almost
IS large as the one usually found inside
a mans ribs and beat in very much the
same manner. 1t was situated upon the
inside of the right leg, four or five inches
above the knee, and was more tender
than the ball of the owners eye.
Charles Gentry, a laborer, was the
owner of this very remarkable organ.
To the surgeons the phenomenon is called
a traumatic aneurism of the femoral ar
terry. This artery is the big blood feeding
pipe that runs from the heart down
through the body and leg, furnishing life
10 the different parts of the anatomy as
it goes. About two months ago Gentry
was struck upon the leg just over the ar
terry by shaft of piece of machinery.
u
and the big pipe began to bulge out at
this point. The outer wall, or coat of
the artery, luckily stretched and held the
blood, or Gentry would have bled to death
in no time.
The artery kept on swelling with ev-
cry pulsation of the patients heart.
From the size of a haZelnut the bulge
grew and grew until it was larger than
a mans fist. How the artery managed
to stand it without bursting was mat
ter for wonder even to the surgeons. The
least touch given to the skin over the
swelling caused Gentry horrible pain,
and he was obliged to keep very still lest
any sudden movement or contact would
break it and by the hemorrhage bring on
death. The aneurism could be seen to
beat to all intents and purposes like any
other heart. If one brought his ear close
to it, he could hear constantly repeated
blowing or breathing sound coming from
beneath the skin. This noise was caused
by the vacant air space around the
swollen artery where it had crowded the
muscles aside.
The patient was laid upon the operat-
ing table and placed under the influence
of chloroform. A sharp knife laid the
tissues aside and exposed the femoral ar
terry with its apple shaped bulb. The ar
terry was then tied or igated two inches
above and two inches below the swelling
and the big bulb cut open. Nearly a
pint of blood gushed forth. and then there
was no heart left. The slit artery was
then sewed together with fine silk threads
previously soaked in antiseptic solution
and left to heal.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.

About a Horse,

Case of Mrs. Harriet Gahan against
John Davis, of North Scituate. TO recover
a horse, came up in the Eighth Dlstric
Court on Monday. 1t seems that Mrs.
Gahan owned the horse, which is some
what old and decrepit, and she gave it to
party in Providence with the under
standing that the animal should be
killed. Instead of dispatching the beast
the Providence man gave it to Mr..
Davis, who is Mrs. Gahan's son-in-law.
john M. Brennan appeared for Davis and
George Il. Brown looked out for Mrs.
Gahan's interests. Several witnesses
We're examined and both lawyers made
eloquent pleas. The case was decided
by Judge Johnson in favor of Mrs. Gahan,
but Mr.. Davis claimed jury trial and
the case will be heard in the higher court.

fORETOlO THEIR DEATHS.
Soothsayer's Warning to a Suicide and
Seaman Who Drowned.

Soothsayer's Warning to n Suicide and n
Seaman Who Drowned.
Seaman John Fascal has received a
letter from Alitak, Alaska, giving an ac-
count of the suicide of Francis James.
an able seaman who shipped on the
Merom when she left here about six
months ago for the northern canneries.
Francis James killed himself by blowing
his brains out with a revolver.
perhaps you remember" said Fascal,
''that young man named Lawrence fell
overheard from the Merom when the
bark was sailing through the Golden
Gate.
''Lawrence's death and the suicide of
Francis James recalled to my mind a
very strange coincidence-a happening
which occurred the night before the
Merom sailed. Lawrence, this young
fellow James and myself were taking a
drink together in the Bowhead saloon.
While we were standing at the bar an
elderly man approached us and offered
to tell our fortunes, provided we would
furnish him with a few dimes with
which to procure a nights lodging.
1--WE agreed to his proposition, and he
started in by saying that Lawrence would
die before the month was out. You
will meet with very unexpected death,
he declared. You will die by drown
ing, and your body will never be recov-
cred. And as for you,' he continued,
looking at James, Il predict that you
will never return to San Francisco. You
will meet with misfortune while in
Alaska and will become very despond-
ent. am not certain whether you will
take your own life or will die in a fight
to death with one of your shipmates, but
it looks to me as if you are going to re-
sort to self destruction
you may think am telling you what
is not true" said Fascal, but all this
occurred as sure as / am talking to you.
Lawrence fell overheard, as you
know, and here is letter from Alaska
saying that James committed suicide by
shooting himself through the head. /
have no further particulars, but surely
it is strange case. and | am anxious to
hear what motive led TO the latter taking
his life. San Francisco Call.

influence of Manchester Canal.

A London correspondent says: 1t is
evident that the Manchester Ship canal,
which will open on Jan. 1, will obtain a
large share of its business from cotton
carrying steamers. The managers Of the
canal say that several steamers have al
ready engaged to bring cotton from New
Orleans and Galveston TO Manchester
direct. and 323 spinners, owning more
than 20. 900, 900 spindles and consuming
about $4,000 tons of raw cotton yearly,
have signed a statement booming the
new route. They pledge themselves to
give preference, when buying to arrive,
TO cotton shipped direct, and when buy
ing on spot to cotton imported direct
and stored in Manchester.

ITAlYS CRISIS.
Public Men Say 1t Is the Most Dangerous

Public Men Say 1t Is the Most Dangerous
Since the Existence of the Kingdom.
The news from Italy this week has
been each day worse than the last. ST.
gnor Villari, many times cabinet minis
ter and powerful leader, publishes a
remarkable article in Rome appealing to
the king to save the country from the
most dangerous crisis since the existence
Of the kingdom by proclaiming a dicta-
'rship which shall put an end to power
less parliamentarism. Nothing else, he
declares, will avert the triumph of revo-
lutionary socialism which will destroy
existing institutions. The article has
won the approval of many conservative
persons, and even the selection of die
tator is being discussed. He would be
Signor Crispi or some general. Crispi
is quoted as saying to his friends that
his hour is not yet come, but when an
appeal is made he will be ready.
The government dare not reduce the
army for domestic as we'll as interna-
tional reasons. The situation in Sicily
is as threatening as ever, and there is no
telling at what moment the large force
now there will be required to suppress
rebellion at home. The forces are being
prepared for such an emergency, but
there are grave doubts whether any body
of troops would obey an order to fire
upon their rebellious countrymen. The
government is undoubtedly cherishing
strong hopes of the naval cooperation
of Great Britain in any emergency
