JAW OF GOLD.
The Peculiar Surgical Operation by
New York Physician.

ANST EIkN SICsdbs
Next to the pleasure OF being known as a
silver tongued orator comes that of having a
gold jaw. or that unusual possession a prom

by heroic measures.

lower jaw WAS entirely cut in TWO and por-
ton of 1t removed, and impOrl ant muscles
were severed. Then the two parts of the
lower jaw were laid back TO allow the surgeon
to work under the roots OF the tongue.
A pecuarity of the case ar his iuncture lay
In the TACT that the muscles on each side of the
mouth, being Independent Of one another the
severed parts of the lower jaw could not work

Arabian Phenomenon.

A singular phenomenon occurs on the Dor
GERS of The Red Sea at place called Nakous,
where the intermittent underground sounds
have been heard for an unknown number OF
centuries. 1t is situated at about half mics
distance from the shore. whence a long reach
OF sand ascends RAPIDLY TO hight of almost
300 feet, This reach is eighty feet wide and
resembles an ampitheaier. being rallied in by
low rocks The sounds coming up from the
ground at this place recur at intervals of about
an hour. ! hey at first resemble low murmur
but before long there is heard a loud Knocking
somewhat like The strokes of bell, and which
al the end of five minutes become so strong as
TO agtate the sand.
Tue explanation of this curious phenomenon
given by the Arabs is that there is a convent
under the ground, and these are the sounds of
the bell which the monks ring for prayers. SO
they call it NakouS, which means bell. The
Arabs affirm that the noise so frightens their
camels when they hear IL as to render them
furious. Scientists attribute the sounds 10 sup

Lady Churchill Tattoned

There are certain women OF the world who
capture public attention TO that degree that
everything they 90 is promptly chronced.
Lady Randolph Churchill is one OF them. When
returning home from India with Lord Randolph
she noticed British soldier tattooing a deck
band. It dispeled the ennui that had seized
upon her an incident of ship life, and from
watching the operation from her deck-chair she
concluded TO try 1t herself. She had the artist
brought before her and asked him for some
designs He suggested the Talmudic symbol
OF egernity-a snake holding its tail in its
mouth. Lady Randolph was charmed and
barred her arm for the operation. Lord Ran

Women Policemen

Considerable comment has been created here
by the action OF the School Board recommend
ing that all the jantOrs of school buildings be
given police onwers. As a large portion OF
those who perform this duty are women this
will be one OF the first instances on record of
women becoming policemen. 1t Is proposed TO
have them appointed by the Mayor under an

policemen so as to better enable them to pre-

DaIy,s London Experience.

The last member Of the Daily company to
secede from Its forces and join one OF the Froh-
man companies (which seems now to be the
regular thing for the graduated DAILY players TO
dol tells, according to the New York Sun, some
interesting facts about the experiences OF the
DAILY players In London. When the company
returns to the New York tbeater in the autumn
the change In Its policy will probably be the
most notable result OF its foreign sojourn. Ac-
cordng TO this last actor to leave the company,
the old plan of making the ensemble work of
the players its principal attraction is no longer
observed. No one actor, for instance, is allowed
TO occupy any regular position. None of the
men is allowed to consider himself the le ding
man. Arthur Boucher is said to have quit on
this account. He was allowed to play the
leading roles In some pieces and was then
either taken out of the bill or put into a small
part in the succeeding production. Miss
Rehan, along with James Lewis and Mrs.
Gilbert, are the 0nly persons whom the public
Is allowed to recognize as occupying certain
status.
In nLondon there are no regular stock COM
paBes such as The Lyceum aud the Empire
here. There are a number OF actors in London
who are engaged for the productions al the diff
ferept theateTs. None OF them are associated
permanently with any one house. and they pass
from one iheater TO another. Mr.. DAILY seems
10 measure to have adopted this policy. and IL
is already ed in the English newspapers
that the ensemble Is very different from hat
which made the Daily actors popular In London.
Ii is said that the manager does not propose TO
make any more actors we'll known In certain
line OF parts and then have them leave the CON-
pany and become as successful as John Drew
has. Miss Rehan Is, OF course, featured in
all the productions OF the company, and It's par

musical novelty which has created such an inl-
mense sensation all over Europe, Leoncavallo's
masterwork, Al Pagliacci" (Punchnello).
II Pagliaecl" (Punchinello) is based upon aD
actual occurrence at MoBtalto, in CalaDria, on
the 18th of August 1868, and both the libretto
and music are by Ruggiero Leoncavallo. who.
when boy, witnessed the tragedy, which so
deeply impressed him that 1t became stamped

consists Of prologue and two acts, and in the
former an instrumental prelude Is interrupted

drundy's " Sowing to the Wind

Occasional Correspondence OF THE CALL
NEW YORK, April S.-The Breckenridge case
now in progress az Washington, d. c., gives
immediate and TO some minds imperative pub
lie importance to the "sex against sex' BATTLE
that has been going on since civilization begun.
The question is presented in more pleasing
and interesting form than the Pollard Breckin-
ridge story gives it in Sydney Grundy's beauti-
ful play "Sowing the Wind" which is now
making such a great success at the Empire
Tneater In this city. "Sowing the sWind" has
for its motive the opposition OF an adaptive
father TO the marriage OF his son with young
woman who is a child OF chance, and whose
mother became an 0utcaSt after the daughters
birth. The young woman's name is otherwise
stainless. She Is the type OF all that Is proper
and pure and womanly in her sex. Having at
last found the one man in all the world that she
can love. her heart, hopes and life are wrapped
up in him. But the unfelentlng father stands
ing OF which she had no part. She appeals to
the father 10 vain, and finally Is driven TO an
eloquent defense OF her mother, now dead.
"Why should q woman be virtuous ?' she
cries desperately. "Is vice mans monopoly

men by the men. Let it be fought out 10 the

will take the stage with her new work. While
In a great measure the success attending the
production this season Of "Doris." Robert Drou-
cts play, is due to the acting of Efie Ellsler
and the strong dramatic organiza tion with
which she has surrounded herself, the drama is
undoubtedly a good one. IL was especially
written for Miss Ellsler and is proving well
adapted to her style of acting. 1t is the opinion
of many that Doris" is the best performance
given by this actress in some time, her coDcep-
zion of the role being intelligent and thoroughly
human, and in some scenes surprises her audi
tors. Few would suspect such power in one OF
so slight and gFlish figure.

played an Insignificant part IN Miss Elsler's

written and has undoubtedly much to do with
