GOLD AND PROTECTION.
That Is What e5 Per Cent of the Manufac-
turerS Want.

Baltimore, May 6.-The Manufacturers
Record will tomorrow publish ten pages
of letters from hundreds of the most
noted manufacturing companies In the
country, located in almost every state
in the union, in advocacy of gold basis
of currency, without any regard to silver,
either by international agreement or 9TH
erwise, and for higher protective duties
The letters came in reply to the broad
question of: What Is the most needed
to bring about greater prosperity for the
general industrial interests of the entire
country"
Ninety-five per cent of the replies take
unequivocal ground for gold and pro-
lection. Less than a dozen letters out
of the great bundle favor silver, and
only one advocates lower duties.

LATEST ESTIMATE.
WOMAN WHO CLEANS A CITY.
Mrs. PickeriIl Bid Lowest and Obtained
tho Contract.


Denverhas a new garbage contractor,
and it is woman. In spite of her sex,
the preserves once thought to be the
sole and undisputed possession of the
sterner sex have been invaded, and this
contract has gone to woman simply
because she was the lowest bidder, and
now all that she asks is a fair field and
no favors. The new contractor is Mrs.
Mary NJ. Pickerill, and she says that she
means business. Certainly she has
given that impression since taking hold
Of the work. There has been a verit-
able garbage war, but it has closed
with Mrs. PickerilI, enterprising con-
tractor, ahead, and her antagonists are
obeying the law as laid down by her.
Mrs. Pickerill is widow and .haa
brought up her family of children IN
aided. She is woman of business
ability and plenty of nerve, and was
willing and anxious to take the work
at lower figure than it has ever been
done before, promising to show the city
fathers how even SO unsavory con-
tract can be filed properly and yet
with profit to the city. Mrs. Pickerill
took charge of the work, after supply
ing gilt-edged bond in double the
amount she IS to receive for her work,
and, in spite of the ridicule heaped upon
her by the city press and the public in
general, has taken hold Of the work in
a clear-headed manner, which promises
the cleanest sweep in garbage that
Denver has ever known.
While a year ago it was costing the
city at the rate OF 100000 a year to re-
move the garbage, the new contractor
does the work for $3.50 per month, and
it seems possible that in the near future
the city may be selling it's garbage to
the highest bidder instead of paying for
its removal, this woman contractor
having already inaugurated this inno-
walton.

HEAD REMODsLso ss SURGERY
Remarkable Operation Performed On
maa Practically Decapitated-

Arthur Harris sits in chair in the
Newark City hospital. with a practical.
ly remodeled head. The doctors say he
is going to set well in two or thro
weeks.
Harris was at work in a canal boat
September .. Workmen were dump

Harris was leaning over when the load
broke away from its fasteuings and
struck him with awful force on tbs
skull. When his companions picked
him UP the top of his head was lying
over on the left shoulder. hanging hs
some shreds. The bucket had cut its
way in a straight line above the ears
lust in line where you take of youS
hat" said one of the doctors afterward.
At the hospital Harris was laid ON
the operating table and DR.. Hewlett
and the other surgeons went to work ~
save his life. First they cleaned the
tear and packed gauze upon the brain
to stop the bleeding. Then the rebuild.
ing of his head began. IL was done with
silver wire and some bone punches. The
fractured bits were fitted together with
care, and then the whole was bandaged.
Under this treatment Harris brain
stopped bleeding in few days Then
the gauze had 20 come out. DIR. Hewlett
made two or three trepannings, and
fshed oct the gauze with a small hook
through an cfening left for the purpose.
The physicians say Harris viii be an.

TO the remarkable and successful sur
gerry.

cratic majority this morning. Several
Dem Ocratic counties show up with qarg

and. The sloWnesS with which the Of
