A NAIL IN HER BRAIN.
Kansas Furnishes what Is Said to Be the
Most Remarkable Case on Record.

Kansas Furnishes what Is Said to Be the
Most Remarkable Case on Record.
For six weeks Mrs. Frank Roadson of
Abilene lived with a sixpenny nail in her
skull. Remarkable as this story may
seem, il is nevertheless true, and Mrs.
Roadson, who Is in her fifty-ninth year,
will recover from this terrible ordeal.
About eight weeks ago physician was
called TO see her, she being apparently
suffering from paralysis or some kindred
trouble. One side seemed deadened, and
no amount OF will power on her part
could cause normal action. Electric bat
teries were applied repeatedly, and eff
forts were made to induce the paralyzed
nerves to act once more, but with little
avail, until the physician, thinking per-
haps better results might be attained, or
dered her thick hair cut off.
She objected, but it was done, and on
examination sore spot was discovered
with the head of a nail imbedded there
In upon the very crown Of her head. An
operation was performed, and to the
surprise of the physicians present a six
penny nail 2 inches long was removed.
1t had penetrated straight into the brain
its full length, and an abscess had
formed upon the brain because of its
presence there. Two days later another
operation was performed, the abscess
was removed, and the patient is getting
along well, apparently about to regain
full control of her muscles.
The most remarkable part of this
strange story was the discovery of the
cause of its being there. At first she
stoutly denied any knowledge of it being
there, but at last admitted that she had
herself driven the nail into her skull,
pounding it down with a stone, for the
express purpose of ending her life. Ply
sicians say this is the most remarkable
case on record.-Topeka Special to ST.
Louis Republic.

A Chinese Exodus.

Prominent Cinnamon ON the Pacific

Interpreter Pom Sc of San Francisco.

body ought to go, for 1t will be the sight
of a lifetime" The fair, he says, was
founded many centuries ago and has been
held regularly since. He is not sure of
the exact date, but it is within two years.
Great preparations are being made for it
all over the empire, and announcement
of it will soon be made to the world

Business Depression In Berlin.

The Berliner Zeitung enlarges upon
the present condition of starvation in
German industries. Workshops which
usually furnish employment to 90 men
have been obliged to reduce their forces
to two. The depression is felt most Sc
verely in the building trades, including
carpenters and cabinetmakers, but it also
extends to others. The Christmas sales
are reported by the shopkeepers to be
small beyond parallel. only the cheapest
goods finding buyers.

object in view, the following is

principles upon which the organiza-
ton to be known as the "Union
Party" is to be established, and upon
this platform we invite the co-opera-
ton of every friend of good govern
ment.
list. REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT
The Union Party is unalterably
opposed to any form of moparchical
Government in the Hawaiian Islands,
and declares it's full allegiance to the
Provisional Government, endorsing
the proposal for constitutional con-
vention looking to the extension of
popular representation in the Gov
eminent.
I'd. Political UN1oN-We declare
our leading principles to be the
accomplishment of political union
with the United States of America
and the maintenance of a stable and
honest government.

such legislation as will promote the
occupancy of all public lands, inclnd-
ing those heretofore known as
''crown lands" by small holders, and
foster the development of varied in
dustries, believing it to be of vital
Importance that 'many acres"
should be for ''many men,"
4th. CITIZENS RIGHTS de
clare that all citizens are equal be-
fore the law and we are opposed to
monoplies or privileged classes,
favoring participation in the govern
ment by every loyal citizen.
5th. LABoR-We favor such legis.
lation as will substitute An erican,
Portuguese and other European
immigration, for Asiatic immigration,
thus securing a class of immigrants
for labor purposes which will
ultimately be of permanent value to
the country as settlers.
9th. PUBLIC WoRKs-We favor the
Immediate establishment of COM
prehensive system of public improve
ments that shall be of permanent val
ne to the country and afford needed
employment to the laboring classes,
but we declare against importation
of labor and material of any kind
whatsoever for use on public works
which can be obtained in the home
market, and materials which must
be obtained from abroad should be
obtained through local dealers in
open competition.
7th. PUBLIC OFF1cEs-We hold
that no person should occupy any
position of trust or profit under the
Government who is not loyal to the
same.
Sth Prison LABoR-We oppose
the employment of prison labor in
any mechanical pursuits.

EXHIBITS HIS HEART.
This Is What the Subject of q Peculiar
Surgical Operation Does.

This Is What the Subject of a Peculiar
Surgical Operation Does
Physicians of this city are receiving
visits from an unfortunate citizen of Buff
falo who has had peculiar experience.
Recently he called on professor in the
College of Physicians and Surgeons, who
explained to reporter yesterday the con-
dition of his visitor as follows:
1.-THE man had a disease of the chest
some time ago and was operated upon by
physician in Buffalo, who found it nee
essary TO remove part of the chest on
the left side, exposing the heart. The
wound healed, but the opening remained,
SO that now there is a considerable hole
in his chest. There is of course some
covering of skin over the heart, otherwise
the man could not have survived, but the
action of the heart is observable, and one
can put his hand through the opening in
the chest and feel the heart at work"
The professor was unwilling to say
much about the case, which he said was
of special interest only to medical men.
He said it was an extraordinary case
and was worthy of being made the SUBJ
ject of medical treatise. He under
stood that the man was travelling about
the country exhibiting himself to physi-
clans for small consideration.
"He came to me-" he added, "and
examined him and gave him a small
sum. He then went away, and / do not
know where he Is now"
Another physician said that the hole
was about 8 inches square and that three
ribs had been cut in the operation. He
said also that an opening similar to the
one in. tine chest existed in the mans
back, under the heart.-New York Sun.
