OF the physicians that are interested in
the experiment that he will be unable to
recover from the terrible shock his nervous

OF the necessary apparatus will be used
In efforts To build up the shattered nervous

The rays will be used to show The exact
position OF the fractured cord, and by
repeated photographs and steady pressure
they will be enabled TO ascertain when
the ends are in direct opposition. jacket
will then be placed around the patients
body, and IL is thought the fluids will
allow the cords TO reunite.
Instead of keeping the patient in bed
a harness will be fitted to pullies placed
in the ceiling, and he will be permitted
TO attain an upright position without the
weight resting upon his fractured spinal
column.
Another experiment with the X rays
will be tried at the South Side Hospital
next week. The physicians will endeavor
to remove a tumor from the brain of
Mrs. August Kriel. A shadowgraph of
the tumor was taken by using X rays. 1t
Is entirely satisfactory, showing the ex-
tent and position of the growth accurately.

Two important changes have taken place
in Gen. Weylcr since he took command in
Cuba. He has asked for an extension of
the time in which to suppress the insur-
rection and his apparent moderation has
given place to the savagery which earned
for him the sobriquet, 1.-The butcher" Heha
strcnuously deuicd, of course, all charges
recently made of inhumanities perpetrated
by his orders or with his sanction, but evil
dence is accommodating to show that he has
torn off the mask of humanity and is ar-
pearing now in his true role. A n iGtinlation
of this metamOrphosis was given the world
by his recent proclamation to the effect that
hereafter he would treat all insurgents
captured with armsin their ha nds as bandits
and deal with them accordingly.
Since that proclamation was issued and
since Minister De Lone teIegraphed Gen.
Weyler that Congress would let the Cuban
question drop, press accounts and private
correspondence from the island ha We teemed
with stories of the most horrible out
RACES. But for the fact that the Turkish
soldiers have access more freely to all
parts of Armenia and that there are
millions of A Armenians at their mercy, there
is but little difference between the bar
baric conduct of the sutans fanatical
soldiery and the inhumanities practiced by
the military OF the most Christian ma
tion." The Spaniards spare neither sex
nor age; their fury is turned against young
and old alike, and women and children and
invalids are alike the victims of Spanish
bullets and Spanish swords. II Weyler's

A Matter of Conscience.

Among the latest contributions to the
conscience fund is that of an ex-Union
soldier, who sent 30 cents to pay for
some sugar which he took thoughtlessly
from an open barrel to eat while standing
guard over some cOmmissary stores. He
says in his letter: Il did not take much
in quantity, but violated the principle of
strict honesty
For thirty years and more this sugar
has been weighing heavily upon the con-
science of this Connecticut ex-defender

Empire Theater Wrap.

A very pretty theater wrap in the form Of
long empire coat of popin. is in the shade
known as garter blue. 1t is cut very full
in the skirt, and springs from an empire
yoke of white satin, overlaid with crea IN
lace studded with jet cabochons, and stitch
ed down with the same. The revers of
white satin down the front are treated in
the same manner, and fastened back Y. n
diamond paste buttons. which also deco
rate the throat and yoke. The collar is OF
sable, which also edges the fronts, and the
sleeves of the bishop shape are also large in
size. A band of the satin and lace runs
down the center of the sleeves and ends in a
soft falling friil of lace. The back starts
with a box pleatin the center from the yoke,
and has band of the white satin and lace
running to the foot OF the wrap. The
whole is lined throughout with white
satin.

the habit Of letting his Wife prepare the

the day he died she was not even in the
