When the case was called yesterday after
noon Judge Jerry T. Sullivan, counsel for
the boy, asked for q continuance, as the
opposing counsel had requested.
Judge Coffey, in postponing the hearing
until next Saturday took the occasion to
say that Judge J. D. Sullivan, counsel for

pleading IN her behalf the last time the
case was up, declaring that she was ii

SILKS FROM THE ORIENT
ARRIVAL OF IMPORTER JEWETT
WITH MORE BAGGAGE THAN
THE NAWAB.
a Tilt WITH THE CUsToM-HousE
OFFICIALS = FINERY PUT
IN BOND.

Among the passengers on the steamer
China, which arrived from the Orient ct an
early hour yesterday morning. were J. H.
Jewett and wife, their three Oh ildren and
four servants. Mr.. Jewett Is a wealthy
silk-im porter of New York, who has been
located in Yokohama for the last eleven
years. He has come here on q visit. but
his retinue and baggage threw the i'm
pressive entry of Nawab Imad Nawag
Jong OF Hyderabad into the shade. The
silk merchant clashed with the Custom
house officials as soon as the China tie
up at the dock. One Of his servants is q
Chinese woman, and Deputy Surveyor
Sam Rudden Informed him that before
the domestic could land he would have
to furnish bond for her return to China.
Mr.. Jewett thought that a bond would
not be necessary in his case, and SO he told
the officer. A tramp to the Custom house
convinced him of his error and he returned
to the Mail dock more humble and better
informed. When it came TO overhauling
his score of pieces of baggage the customs
men had an interminabie job. for eyery-
thing worn or used under the Oriental sun
seemed packed into the trunks. The most
costly silks and delicate fabrics were hauled
out into the light of day by rude hands.
and article after article was refused entry
/! without duty and ordered sent on TO New
\ ork in bond.
Mr.. Jewett protested that all the lingerie,
! bric-a-brac silken banners, ETC., were
clothing and household effects which had
| seen service for two years, but the hard
hearted officials declared that the goods
were too new and the story too old, and
into bondage, or bond, the pretty things
had TO go.
The merchant said that he would leave
| for New York last evening. 81 have been

dence in japan and am now on visit OF

ports of raw silk from Japan TO America
amount TO about $50, 600 annually. In
return America exports little or nothing,
Japan buying most OF its supplies from
England. ] do not think that the war
will in any way affect the trade between

The China brought the remainder of the
crew of the cruiser Esmeralda including
nearly all the officers. Captain Garrin,
who, it was said, was afraid to come over
on the vessel with the Chilean crew, is ex-
pected on the Rio. The crew accused the
captain of attempting to settle with them
i for less wages than they shipped for and of
using his position 10 make money out of

Rio de Janeiro, which struck a hidden

''There is only one positive method to
determine diphtheris atany stage, and that
is by discovering the bacillus of that
disease in the patient. The late discovery
Of anti-toxine, the cure for diphtheria. will
in the future be recognized as one OF the
most important events ID the history of
medicine"
The importance OF the discoveries IN
cerebral localiZation" made lately were
touched upon. This theory Is that the
brain is q composite organ, each part con-
trolling q different function; one part d.
recting sight, another the hearing, another
motion and SO on. For instance an i'm
preston is made through the ear bv the
pronunciation of q word and finds lode-
ment in the corresponding part of the
brain. When II Is desired to pronounce
the word ii passes from that stoFehouse to
another, where ii sets IN motion the organs
of speech. The practical value of this
knowledge is best shown IN cases of
epilepsy, where by tracing from the out
ward signs of the disease to the brain the
exact position OF the clot Of blood or tunor
or other cause may be located IN the brain
and removed by trepaning.
DR.. A brams gave an account of the ad-
vance in abdominal operations, and told

said, Ito replace organs IN timer"
