BOWLING LAST EVENING.

"Well we'll we'll Here they comet
This familiar cry was heard all over the
alley at Pines last evening, where the
Wayerly's, by steady bowling. beat the
strong Imperials fourteen pins in very
close game This is the first defeat for the
Imperials. and they were more than
anxious too on account of the tie between
them, and the TontInes, for first place.
AS the score will show the strings were
very close, the first went to the Waverlys
by ten, the second TO the Imperials by
one, the third to the Waverlys by five.
The peculiar. feature of the game was that
if any man made bad fall the next man
was sure to brace the score up with a
spare. Merriweather was high man at 284
with Shaw. Armsby and Wilson close
after in the order named. Armsby secured
the high single for the evening 1o2. The
Waverlys have found valuable man in
Angsll. The score:

MARRIED FACING DEATH.
MISS Aarrabee of Wilmington Became
MRS Charles L. Clark-Died TWO Hours
Afterward,

While death was near her. Miss Lizzie
Anna Larrabee OF Wilmington on Tuesday
was married to Charles E. Clark, q Har-
ward Law School student, to whom for
some time she had been engaged. She
died two hours later.
Mrs. CLARK went to Wilmington from
Hartland, Me-, some time ago, and during
her residence in the town had been deeply
interested in religious and charitable
WORK. The young lady made many
friends, and, with her mother, won a
warm place in the estimation of all. On
thursday last she was taken i'll, and
physicians at once saw that her condition
was critical.
Charles +. Clark, student in the Har-
ward Law School, had FOR some time been
engaged to marry Miss Larrabee. The
young people were acquainted in Maine
before they made their home in Whining
ton, and had planned to marry after Mr.
Clark should complete his college course
A consultation of physicians revealed
the fact that Miss Larrabee must submit
to surgical operation or die from appen-
dicitis. Shetwas told that an operation
must be performed, and that her chances
for recovery would then be about even.
She consented to give herself into the
hands of the surgeons, but asked that she
might be united to the man of her choice
before the terrible ordeal was commenced.
At &. 80 p. NJ. Tuesday the wedding
ceremony was performed by Rev. Elijah
Harmon of the Congregational church,
and while the clergyman was engaged in
his sacred task the surgeons were in
another room.
When the final words of the minister
had been spoken at the bedside the young
woman was ready. Brayely and I'M
fiinchingly she babe the doctors set about
the operation. She realized that her life
hung as by a thread. AT SO the opera
ton had been performed by DR.. Herbert
Richardson of Boston, assisted by DR..
Josiah p. Bixby of North Woburn and
DIR. Clark, brother of the groom, of
Wilmington. Two hours later Mrs Clark
was dead.

pEsTlfeRous BUFFALO CHATS.

North Carolinu Mnn Tells of Inter
cstinG Experienced with Them.
John w. Rusk, of Bclport. n. c.,
writes to the New York Sun regarding
the buffalo gnat:
II think that, as n native of North
Carolina would say. the entomologists
have not met up with the enat in ques-
ton; possibly il is not distributed over
II large area of the country. ! met the
gnats several years ago in Arkansas, on
the bottom lands OF the ST. Francis
river, and think they were the greatest
day pest / ever saw. In shape they re-
scmbe the buffalo somewhat: hence the
name. They do not bite or sting their
victims. They have a dsagreeable hab-
1t of flying from the ground and strils-
ing one in the face. But the chief
trouble is that they crawl into the
mouth, nostrils and tlie ears and deposit
their eggs, which hatch in very short
time. The larvae eat away the mem
branes, causing death to large numbers
Of stock of all kinds, and of many game
animals.
"The planters on the st. Francis set
old logs aire in the woods for smoke to
protect stock, which will eagerly rush
10 The smudge and stand in it to get rid
of the pest.
"On one occasion was kindling fire
TO keep off gnats, when IL large buck
deer came rushing to the smoke and
stood in il, not needing my presence. In
II few minutes flock of wild turkeys
and also four or five wild hogs came for
protection IL is NOT an uncommon
sight to sec mule before the pillow,
trudging along with Il bucket contain
ing n sanudgc. hanging from its nose
over the smoke rs much as possible. The
enat cannot stand smoke"

A "SILvER TRUST"
Talk That Is Sheer DcmnEogy II
tended to Obscure the Issue,

Tn1lS That Is Sheer DcmnEogy In
tended to Obscure the Issue.
The talk of "silver trust" is sheer
demagogy, intended to obscure the is
sue by creating n prejudice against the
silver miners.
Gold mining is perfectly honorable
calling, and those engaged in it arc
entitled to the fairest consideration.
But there is far more reason to speak
OF the gold miner as monopolist than
to apply the term to the silver miner.
Why? Because the decentralization of
silver in large measure destroyed it
as n competing metal in the field of
monetary use and gave gold an almost
complete monopoly in that field. AS
result the value of silver has been
beaten down, while that of gold has
been raised, just us the value of corn
would be forced down and that of wheat
raised by making it unlawful to use
corn as food
There is no phase of the argument(?)
on the gold side that is quite so devoid
of fairness and candor at the outcry
which is made against the silver miner.
In the first place, the value of his prod
uct is virtually cut in two by depriving
1t OF monetary use, and when he OBJ
1ccts he is denounced as n swindler and
q fraud and accused of trying to force
the government to give him dollar
for so cents worth of silver. Right on
the heels of this accusation it is bland
ly declared that if we had free coinage
the value of the silver dollar would not
rise any. but instead the dollar would
Mt once shrink to 80 cents, or even less.
If this latter claim be true, and 1t be
nlso true that the silver miners consti-
butte trust" then it can be safely
affirmed that this is the first time in the
history of the world that trust has
been formed for the purpose of depre-
ciating its own property. If, on tho
other hand, free coinage will raise the
value of silver, 1t necessarily follows
that the suspension of coinage must
have lowered it, and therefore the con-,
tention of the silver men issound.-Na-
tional Bimetallist. 4

DECAY OF FRENCH CUISINE.

Slowly Being Destroyed by the Hurry
md Anxiety of Modern Life.
The tendency in all the French res
taurants of the present day is to pre-
pare meals for their chance customers
who may happen in at any time of the
day, says the Chautauquan. Meals arc
eaten in a greater hurry than former
ly, even in France, where it used to
be the habit during the fiercest revo-
lutionary and communist struggles
when the time of de jeuner came for
each side to stop fighting for an hour
or so and devote themselves 10 the mid
day meal. The hurry and anxiety of
modern life is slowly destroying what
ever was distinctive in French cooking,
which cannot be properly done in haste
or when food is required in very large
quantities.
The development of club life is part
~ responsible for this, and the latter
is only another sign of the deep-lying
social problems which confront modern
existence Mt every step. Men in fash
1onabie society dine more frequently at
the club than they do at their own
MONIES. Fewer people marry than for
merry, home life is decreasing and club
life Increasing. Hence, the last refuge
oil the Partisan chef is at the fashionable
ciubhouses, which are now counted by
the score, and most of which set very
good tables.

FELT BY RABBIT NERVE.
LifeicSs Arm Nc.torcd by Graft from
EreshIN Killed AnImnI


To have the sense of touch and mower
of action restored in the lower half of
lifeless arm is the experience recently
bestowed on an English gardener. The
case is noted in the British Medical
journal and has attracted widespread
attention in Europe. The upper and
Inner half of the right arm was severed
with Il scythc. Tho artery was ligated
and the two ends of the divided nerve
suturcd
In the absence of more suitable tissue
the spinal cord of II rabbit just killed
was used us II graft to connect the ends
OF the median nerve, the inserted cord
lying loose and quite free from tension
when finally placed in position. Fine
catGut suturcs were used throughout.
Eleven days after the operation the pa
tlent could feel the scratch of pin on
the fleNor aspect OF the first phnlanx of
the thumb, as we'll as ut the root of the
index finger. lie could tell when the
LIARS on the hncll of the first phalangcs
of the ring and little fingers were
touched, but could not feel the scratch
OF a pin in that situation. Seven DAYS
later sensation had returned over the
whole of the palmar surface of the
thumb and the proNimatc phalanx of
The index finger.
After an interval Of 16 days sensation
seemed to be creeping slowly along the
first finger and to he present over the
whole of the palmor area supplied by
the median nerve and extending down
as far as the web of the fingers and n
short distance along the middle finger.
The muscles presented evidences of
gradual development and the general
nutrition of the hand improved, and
soon the hand was "as good rs new"
