He Got a Pointer.

Detroit Free Press.
 It was on Sixth avenue elevated train going up town. A man with red nose which terminated in a knob got on at Franklin street and sat down beside little girl about years of age, who was accompanied by a brother of 12. She was a sharp-eyed, handsome child, and after a few minutes the red-nosed man felt his heart warm up to her, and he said:
 well, little girl, are you going some- where?"
 She looked up but made no answer, and after minute he smiled more blandly and continued: s.--
 You are an awful nice little girl and wish had some candy for you. Is that your brother?"
 Say, mister" called the boy, as he leaned forward, you don't know much about children, do you?'
 ''Yes l know all about 'em."
 Well, then, you can take your chances with her"
 "Chancesn What chances?"
 Why, if you get her to talking she'll up'n ask you all about that nose O yourn. and if you don't want to give 1t away you'd better keep still"
 Six passengers on the opposite seat all began to grin at once, and the man with the nose got up and solemnly and stiffiy marched up the aisle and opened the door and dropped into seat in the next car He thought he knew all about chill dren. but that boy had given him point CT never to be forgotten.

young man who is studying medicine. was an assistant. After a little probing on the part of the surgeon and patient the ball was located. and pr. Minor, with one sharp tug, brought to light not a ball from an army revolver, but an iron can ister shot 2A inches in circumference and % of an inch in diameter. Owing to the unexpected size of the shot the incision had to be extended to admit it's passing ont.
 This remarkable surgical curiosity has caused a great deal of interest among medical men. Dr. Wood, when seen by a Sunday Post7Dispatch correspondent atlhis house, on West Seventeenth street, was discussing the operation with two or three. medical friends. He lay on a couch, with the wounded limb carefully bandaged. The shot passed through the head of the tibia, one-quarter of an inch below the knee joint Had it passed through the hard part of the shaft it would have been shattered. Instead, it passed through the bone by way of the soft and spongy tissue, lodging as by miracle against the walls of the arteries. Had it penetrated hairs-breadth far ther the walls of the, blood vessels would have been broken and death would have -ensued on the battlefield. As it is, not a nerve or blood vessel is the worse for the long years the wrought iron ball has been their neighbor. The shot is as bright as when it left the cannon's mouth.
 In speaking of the wound, Dr. Wood said: "I have often thought the great mistake in making armor for warships was in not initiating nature more. If after the vessel is made sound and wa ter tight by light steel armor, some light cancellated or spongy material were fastened outside and then second light plate outside, there would be far less danger of both plates being shattered and the warships could be made much lighter. This, you see, is the method na- ture follows. and this wound of mine ;lluctrofac

 Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 8.-An Ameri- can Railway union man In this city re- ceived g. letter from President Debs writ ten yesterday, in which Debs touched on the Great Northern strike matter as fol- lows:
 T am advised that no strike has been declared, and that none is likely to be declared. There has been some local trouble at three or four points, but none of a general character, in which the American Railway union has been in- volved There could be no general strike without being authorized by the men themselves, and this has not been done. Present dispatches about the Great Northern are generally false.'

 "If the low water continues" remarked a coal dealer yesterday, there is no es- timating the demand that will be made on this section for coal. And it may re- suit in the opening of new mines that may not prove profitable after the rivers rise. However I think we have estab- lished a trade for domestic coal that is staple and our competitors will not be able to reclaim. And I believe that the general trade can also be retained, if the proper effort is made in that direction"

SEEKING RETALIATION.
Insurance Men Want Prussian COM
panies Kept Out of This Country.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Many life insur-
ance company officials from different States
were at the Fifth-avenue Hotel to-day to
discuss the advisability OF taking measures
to exclude Prussian insurance companies
from doing business in this country. This
step is. taken as result OF the action of
the German government which, about a
year ago, notified the New York Life, the
Equitable and the Mutual Life Insurance
companies that it had changed its require
ments for foreign insurance companies.
The Equitable soon after this withdrew
from Germany. The action begun by the
American companies to-day was precipi-
tated by an application made about three
weeks ago by the Hamburg AIagdeburg
company, asking Insurance Superintendent
Pierce for permission to do business in
this State. President Mccall, of the New
York Life, wrote protest to the insurance
superintendent, who advised the German
company that New York was not inclined
to allow 1t to do business here. Officials in
other States have since then been talking
Of the advisability of doing the same thing

After the meeting, which was an in
formal one, Stuart Brown made state

Prussia, they would make every effort, by

NORTHERN PACIFIC AFFAIRS.
Conference on the Question Of Con.
soIfdating the Receiverships.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Nov. 15.-The special
train carrying the prominent officials ana
attorneys interested In the Northern Pacific
receivership arrived in this city this morn
ing. 1t left Tacoma Wednesday. In the party
were John c. Spooner, OF counsel for the
old and new receivers; George X. Peck, of
Milwaukee, counsel for the Adams party;
Silas w. Petit, counsel for the Brayton
Ives board OF directors; Roswell G.. Rollston,
president. and Herbert r. Turner. counsel
for the Farmers Loan and Trust Company,
of New York; General Manager Kendrick
and his secretary, Finley j. shepard; w. A.
Underwood, of New York. counsel for Re-
ceiver Burleigh. Senator Spooner was not
seriously injured by his fall off the step Of
the car at Columbia river.
During the day several conferences were
held including a general conference of the
local and visiting attorneys. Before this gen.
eral conference II was stated by several
gentlemen, among them General Manager
Kendrick that the prospect of consolidating
the receiyership is good and that progress
is being made. None of the gentlemen cared
to disclose the details OF the scheme for
consolidating They said that ii would not
be advisable TO do so at present. 1t seems to
be understood in circles surrounding the
conference committee that the FAR west Will
have one receiver and st. Paul will have
one. The far West will insist on having a
jurisdiction that shall not be bound down by
any order OF courts further east. 1t is ad-
mtted that there will be third receiver,
but no one on the outside knows whether he
will be New York man or some one from
the West who is satisfactory to Wall street
interests. This probably cannot be announced
until after the New Nork court has passed
on the proposed plan
One gentleman said that 1t was likely Re
ceivers McHenry and Burieigh will be men,
bers of the consolidation. He was not able
to suggest the man who is likely to get the
third place: After long conference at the
Ryan Hotel, the attorneys did not seem as
cheerful as they were when they reached
here this morning and took brief rest, but
soon resumed the conference.
Messrs. Petit and Turner left, tonight,
for Milwaukee, where they will probably see
Judge Jenkins. The party had indirect COM
municaton with Judge Sanborn to-day and
Messrs. Peck Spooner and Underwood, who
are still here, will probably submit their
unknown proposition TO HIM in the morning.

ASKED TO VISIT OMAHA.
Result of Committees Interview
with Schlatter.

OMAHA. Neb., Nov. H.-Omaha sent
committee OF business men to Denver TO
have Schlatter come to Omaha. The chair
man, Joseph Conner, returned to-day and
says Schlatter will come soon, and that his
whereabouts are known to two Denver citi-
zens of prominence. Conner had great diff
ficulty in gaining an audience with Schiat-
ter, and only did so by making himself
agreeable to the two policemen who stood
guard at Schlatter's back. over the en-
trance to the grounds Of Fox's residence,
where Schlatter stopped while in the city.
There were $500 people in front Of the
Healer and on the other side of the
fence, but at his back were only corps OF
police to keep people from getting over the
fence. He obtained five-minute interview
with Schlatter. Conner talked to Schlatter
of Catholicism, but the Healer said his
mission was not to discuss doctrine, but TO
aid suffering humanity. When Mr.. Conner
asked that he come to Omaha and help the
poor and suffering the 'Healer's" answer
was that he only went where the Messiah
revealed to him to go, and that he would
give him an answer at $50 o'clock the fol-
lowing day. But in the meantime Schlatter
was gone. visit to the house OF Fox

untouched. Conner believes that he has it
so fixed that Schlatter will yet come TO
Omaha, and has left the matter in the
hands Of two prominent business men of
Denver, who are believed TO know where
to find the Healer" He will not mention
their names.

tion OF Wall Paper Manufacturers.

OF wall paper manufacturers, which was
formed in 1892. with a capital of SIS. .000, 900.
secured legal victory in the General Term
Of the Supreme Court to-day, when Presid-
ing Judge Van Brunt handed down an opin-
Ion against the defendants in the suit
brought against the combination by Robert
s. Hobbs & Co. The organization was
formed by most Of the prominent factories
I'm the wall paper business In the United
States, and one OF them was the defendant
firm. which had an extensive factory in
Brooklyn Under the agreement all per-
sons interested in the old factories con-
tracted that they would not so into the
wall paper business in the United States in
opposition to the company. In January of
this year Robert +. Hobbs. who was part

Hobbs & Co.. built a factory at HoboKen
with his brother-in-law. Benton. and notI-
ied the company that he was about 10 leave
his place as manager with them and so into
the new factory. Upon this information
the company began suit I'm the Supreme
Court for an injunction TO restrain Hobbs
from going into the business. Hobbs de-
clared that the agreement was unla wful as

MEXICAN LEGISLATION.
Measure That Provides for Contfn-

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 15 - Gen. Manuel
Gonzales Cosio, who, on the death of Hon.
Manuel Romero Rubio. father-in-law OF
President Diaz, was appointed TO the port
folio of the Interior has presented bill
to the Chamber of Deputies. providing that
during the temporary or total incapacity of
the chief magistrate of the nation. the Min
lister OF Foreign Affairs. or. in the failure
of the latter, the Minister Of the Interior,
shall at once enter on the provisional exer-
else Of executive power. This measure is
of great Importance. as 1t places the ques-
tion of the vice presidency in Mexico on
definite basis. The President OF the Senate
has hitherto been ex officio entitled to the
vice presidency in case of demise or other
accident to the President, but the faulti-
ness OF such an arrangement has been
often pointed out. The presidency OF the
Senate Chamber is changed every month,
and at times the position is occupied by
some person who would not have the neces-
sary qualifications TO take the reins of gov
ernment. Another important measure pre-
sented to Congress comes from the Finance
Department. 1t proposes, in view of the
satisfactory condition of the treasury, a
reduction by 40 per cent. or existing taxes
on the salaries OF government employees,
which now range from 10 l2l2 per cent.
