VERMONT ELECTION.
The Republicans Carry the State by
Increased MaiOrities.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION Vt),
Sept. 1.-The State election in Vermont
to-day was favored with excellent
weather, and as a result the total vote
was largely in excess Of that cast four
years ago, and the Republican major
ity is increased beyond the hopes of the
most sanguine claims of that party, be-
ing figured on percentage basis as
something like 81 900, against 1856 in
1892. The latest returns show increased
gains in the Legislature, although the
returns are not yet complete. The indi-
cations are that in a total of PA mem
bers Of the lower house not more than a
dozen will be Democrats. The Senate
will be composed entirely of Republi-
cans.

HOKE SMITH RETIRES.
His Administration of the Interior
Department Closed.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1-Secretary
Smith closed his administration of the
Interior Department to-day and retired
from the Cabinet. To-day the Secretary
devoted almost his entire time to taking
leave of his associates and employees
When Ex-Governor Francis will ar
rive from Missouri is not yet definitely
known, but it is thought it will be before
the end of the week.
Secretary Smith will leave for At
lanta this evening or tomorrow night
leaving Assistant Secretary Reynolds in
charge. All important matters have
been disposed of, so Secretary Francis
will have a clear field to begin with
The record of the volume of work
performed during the past three and a
half years is probably ahead of that of
any period in the history of the de-
partment.
Secretary Smith has enforced the
strictest civil service rules, making
merit the sole ground for promotion
He unhesitatingly discharged his own
appointees if their work was not well
done, and the force of the department
all over the country has been brought
up to high state of proficiency.
In the General Land Office the work is
now practically up to date. To accom-
plish this has involved not only the dis
position of current work, but of large
quantity of accumulated work on hand

A MINISTER IN TROUBLE.
Sued for Maintenance by His Con-
tract Wife.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-Rev. Ben
jamin Hudelson has been sued for main
tenance by Millie Hudelson. The COM
plant alleges that the parties were
married in Modesto in 1880, and that
her husband deserted the plaintiff in
1856, and has since lived apart from
her and failed to provide for her. 1t
is further alleged that the defendant
is in receipt of an income Of over S2oO
per month, and is ased S12o per month
for the permanent support and main
tenance of the plaintiff and 5000 for
counsel fees.
Reel 3. Terry who is counsel for the
plaintiff, says that his client was the
keeper of a notorious resort at the time
she married the defendant, and went
under the name of Cora Webster.
He says that the marriage was
one made by verbal agreement and
consumated by a residence Of eight
months, during which the couple lived

Aluminium Jaw Bone.

A rare surgical operation, which is
expected to attract great attention
among the medical profession of the
country, was performed recently at the
Presbyterian Hospital, Allegheny. and
witnessed by number of doctors of the
two cities. Aluminium, the latest dis
covery in metal, was used as q substi-
tute for bone. The left jaw Of the pa
tient was almost entirely extracted and
an artificial one made of the material
mentioned was applied.
The operation was skillfully con-
Quoted. and the patient will recover the
full use of his jaws. He is William Nc
Connell Of Claysville, which is small
town ten miles east Of Washington.
Pa. He is about Al years of age and
married. He was taken to the hospital
suffering from what he supposed was
an unusual attack Of toothache. The
pain was in the left jaw, and to him
seemed to extend from the center of the
chin four inches along the left Jaw
bone. An examination and consultation
by the staff of physicians of the insti-
tuition developed the Importance of the
case.
The result Of their deliberations was
that the jaw became affected by the
neglect Of a decayed tooth since about
two years ago. 1t had eaten to the
flesh and bone Of the left jaw, causing
eruptions of the flesh. A strange ac-
cumulation of flesh appeared, which
was gradually growing along the bone,
forming an abscess in the meantime,
known technically as sarcoma. 1t was
believed if the case was allowed to de-
velop that blood poisoning would set in
and that death would result within a
very short time. The operation was
therefore decided upon.
The surgeons first found it necessary
to open the flesh about five inches from
the chin along the side of the face in or
der to prepare for the more delicate
work which was to follow. Then the
saw was applied and the same space of
jawbone on the left side from the center
Of the chin was removed.-Pittsburg
