1t is stated that Mr.. and Mrs Ballngton
Booth are very careful not to do anything
which will antagonizei the older branch of
the Salvation Army. They hold that there
is work enough for 100 similar organizations.
1t is the plan of the new body to devote it's
attention particularly to the great middle
over to the cause of religion. The regular
Salvation Army probably will continue its
work among the more unfortunate. One of
Mr.. Booths propositions is the formation Of
go from city to city holding meetings, and
will also conduct services in churches of all
denominations. Mr.. Booth also intends to
make special feature of music in his serv-
ices. He holds to the belief that music has too
long been discarded in missionary work, and
ne intends to in his new sphere of work
a higher class of instrumental music than the
drum and cornet. This will be one Of his
means for reaching the class at which he

SAVED
From the Surgeons Knife by an Ac-
cidentaI Squeeze.


New York Tribune.
Accidents often make dangerous sur
gical operations necessary to save life.
but Albert McClatchey, a young car
penter, yesterday met with a danger
Gus accident which saved him from a
surgical operation. For some time.
without his knowledge, there has been
growing in his throat tumor nearly
three inches in length. He was at
work in the elevator shaft of the build
ing at No. 1914 Broadway yesterday aft
ernoon, when the elevator car descend
ed upon him. The floor of the car
squeezed him against a temporary
platform in the shaft until blood
gushed from his mouth and nose
When the car was raised and he was
extricated from the shaft an ambu-
lance carried him to the hospital in
Hudson street. His nose had been
fractured, and there were some severe
bruises on his head and face, but his
injuries were found not to be serious.
The surgeons at the hospital discov-
cred, however. that he had been re-
lieved of the humorous growth in his
throat by a paroXySm of coughing
which followed the accident, and they
declared that he had been saved from
the necessity Of undergoing a danger
Gus operation. When McClatchey was
taken to his home at No. 401 West
Forty-f1fth street. last evening, he was
inclined "to thank his stars that the
elevator had caught him.
