A delicate and Daring Operation.

The constant aim OF surgery Is 10 re-
duce the rate Of mortality In certain
dangerous operations and with this OBJ
ject experiment is going on ali the while.
These experiments are often continued
for a long ? riod Of time upon the dead
body before being once tried upon liv.
ing subject. This was the case with q
new operation which was tried for the
first time In this city. This operation Is
called symphyseotomy, and it is said TO
be hardly less dangerous than the one
for which it was supposed TO be substi.
tute. II was intended 10 take the place
VI the improved Cssarian operation.
Symphyseotomy consists Of splitting
the bones Of the pelyis. II was tried
twice In Philadelphia since the first
operation of the kind in this country,
which took place in New York. and il
was not followed by any disastrous re-
suit. In the record Of all the cases here
and in Europe since this operation was
introduced the mortality is lower than
the Cesarian method, and II Is hoped II
may be perfected so as to dispense with
the latter altogether. York Cor.

Trouble with a Sword,

A Lewiston young man who was In
Portland Saturday night found some
antique Turkish swords in window
on Congress street, and having love
for art bought one for ornamental
purposes and asked that the clerk do 1t
up in paper. Before he had gone half q
block the paper came off. The young
man was waiting for the Boston boat to
start. He carried the sword about the
streets till people began to comment
upon it. Then he hid it under his ulster
and was standing on the corner talking
when it slipped down, striking ON his toe
with the sharp point. He picked it up
again and hid it under his coat.
When he got into the theater, he was
about to be seated when he thought Of
the sword under his coat. He could not
sit down until that sword came out, 30
unbIttoning the coat be held the sword
in his lap all the evening. AT midnight
when he went on board the boat one of
the officers saw the sword and said, "You
may leave your valuables with the purs-

Undemocratic France.

AS a matter of fact Frenchmen are
about the least democratic people in the
world in their social longings and ideals
France is politically a republic, but So
cially it keeps up most of the character
istics of an aristocracy. The difference
between her and America in this respect
is prodigious. In the United States it il
impossible to find man with decora-
ton; in France it is difficult to find any
body without one. In spite of the revo-
luton titles are still maintained, and the
highest ambition of every bourgeois
would be satisfied if he could marry his
daughter to nobleman. The Unsuitable
thirst to put on uniform of some kind,
no matter what. has often been used a.
q reproach against our Gallo friends

bacteria In Tobacco.

There seems to be no end 10 the dis
coveries that await us concerning bac-
terra, and the relations of those micro
scopic organisms 10 the well being Of
man. Who would ever have thought
that the peculiar havors which charac-
terize different kinds or brands of tobac-
co are due 10 the presence of bacteria?
Yet that is the conclusion to which in
vestigations by German botanist lead.
In curing tobacco, or preparing the
raw, green leaf for use, Preventative
process called sweating is gone through
with.
1t has been supposed that the chemical
changes induced by this process were the
source OF the peculiar qualities possessed
by the cured tobacco. But, according to
Suchsland's experiments, it appears that
micro-organisms may be the real cause
Of the changes.
He has examined tobacco from all
parts Of the world which had been cured
and has found in it an abundance of mi
cro-organisms. and upon cultivating the
bacteria from a particular kind Of tobac-
co and then inoculating another kind
with this culture he has produced in IL
the taste and aroma Of the original.
This discovery has led TO the sugges-
ton that the quality of tobacco grown
in any country may be improved by sim
ply inoculating it with bacteria from
some finer favored leaf growing else
where. Wines have already been i'm
proved by a similar process. Youth's

YESTERDAYS RESULTS.

The bye elections yesterday in North
Providence and Jamestown resulted In
favor OF the Republicans, 1t being a case
OF "heads win, tails you lose"
In North Providence the Republicans
elected their Senator by majority while
In Jamestown the Democratic candidate
lacked but votes OF an election, and as a
consequence, Landers, Republican, holds
over. The figures now stand: Republi-
cans, %; Democrats, al. There is to be an
election tomorrow in South Kingstown
for Senator and Representative and on
that election the contest will virtually
turn.
The Democrats claim the IL Providence
seats without doubt, and as that will give
them control OF the House and It's organI.
zation It is likely that Allen OF East
Greenwich and Hoxsey OF Westerly will
be debarred from taking their seats. Hox-
sey is elected Senator and the Democrats
will try and force him to the upper cham
ber and thereby create vacancy in the
Westerly delegation.

THE kNIFERS.

The kniiers may gloat over the result of
their work here but there is one thing
that the Democracy Of the city can re-
joice in and that is that the leaders OF the
party know who the leaders of the knifers
are and are putting the defeat at their
door. They may howl till doomsday that
"Carrollism" caused defeat-but it was not
that--it was the insane fanaticism OF a
few political strikers, who for some i'm
agined wrong are willing to sacrifice
everything. These men can never again
expect to lift mp their heads In the coun-
sells OF the party to which they have now
brought defeat. They fight II they are In
and they fight II they are out, then why
should they be allowed in camp.

THE INVESTIGATION POSTPONED.

Our fellow townsman, William p.
Moroney, must have been out of the city
last evening as we have no record of his
presence at the City Hall demanding an
investigation at the hands of the City
Council OF the charges made against him.
We are corfident that were he in the city
he would have hastened before the coun-
ell and insisted upon hearing that all
suspicion and doubt might be removed.
We are OF the opinion that his Republi-
can friends were too kind to him in in
definitely postponing tho matter. How
ever, 1t is not yet too late for Mr..
Moroney to insist upon an investigation.

CROOKED WORK.

One OF the Suervisors In the Second
Ward, Albert 8. Siner, has made a special
report to the Board of Aldermen In regard
to the conduct of the last election. His
report is plain statement of facts, tn,
truth of which are known to many. TIL,
manipulation OF the election machinery to
defeat the wishes OF the people in this
ward is notorious and members OF the
State Central Committee and others were
present In this ward on Tuesday to see
how 1t was done. The work was carried on
unblushingly before them and they left
disgusted with the whole affair. 1t was
disgusting to everyone who saw It and It
was very proper, in fact the duty OF Mr..
Siner, to call attention to 1t.
We hope that it may bring forth some
fruitful result.
