a Cent a Child Had Swallowed Located
and Successfully Removed.
A Roentgen ray surgical operation
was performed by DR.. +. w. thinner Of
Rochester, N. Y, which will be of great
interest to surgeons. A child 90 months
old swallowed cent recently. With a
photograph the cent was approximately
located in the esophagus. A prolonged
attempt was then made by ordinary
means to extract the coin, but without
success.
1t was finally determined to use the
microscope during the operation, the
observer directing the movements from
his observation of the coin and metal
instruments as they appeared OH the
microscope screen. Thin boards were
placed across two boxes, and the patient
was placed under the Crookes tube.
The observer placed himself beneath,
and with the use of the new metallic
screen OF inch mesh definitely located
the coin. The tube was then placed un-
der the patient, and DR.. thinner pro-
ceeded to grasp the coin, under the direo.
tion of the observer.
1t was highly successful, the coin be.
ing removed after slipping once or twice
from the forceps. The patient was un.
der the influence of ether, and the OBJ.
server saw every movement of the for.
ceps. The patient is now considered out
OF danger. New York Sun.

A POlNTLESS SPOON.

Fashion Cries "Checkmate" to the MAI

Destiny is shaping the end Of the mar

To make rather aesthetic companion

A pastry fork" it is called. But by
even more euphemistic name yet, it
would be an interesting invention and

Well known Political Economist
Stricken With ApopIexy

BOSTON. Jan. 5.-Gen. Francis A.
Walker, president of the Massachu-
setts Institution Of Technology and
widely known as political economist
and HtteTateur, was stricken with
apOplexy at his home in this city
early this morning, and died soon
afterwards. The end was very sudden.
coming with hardly an instant's warn
ing and the sad news was received
with surprise and no small measure
of fncreduhty when it first became
known in this city. Gen. Walker was
in his usual health yesterday.
Gen. Walker was born in Boston.
July 2, 1910. In 1859, he was appointed
chief of the bureau of statistics at
Washington, and organized and con-
Quoted the ninth census. He resigned
the superintendency of the census in
1881 to become president Of the insti-
tute of technology. He also lectured
great deal. He went to Paris In
1873, as commissioner from the United
States to the international monetary
conference. He was president Of the
American Statistical association from
1852, and president of the American
Economic association from 1886 Dur
ing the last few years, Gen. Walker has
appeared occasionally before the pub
lie in addresses and pamphlets on the
question of bimetallsm. Gen. Walker
was invited by President Harrison to
represent the United States in the in
ternational bimetallic conference in
1890. He declined the offer.

PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 5.-The newly elected
state officers were sworn in at noon today in
the governors office. where the oath was ad-
ministered by Presiding Justice Carson, of the
supreme court The members of the house
were called to order by Secretary of State
4horson, and after being sworn by Justice
Haney,- or the supreme court took an ad-
Journment to p. m. tomorrow to await the
arrival of the storm-bound members before
organizing. The senate members were sworn
in by Justice Fuller of the supreme court
and: after signing the roll, proceeded to or
ganiZe by the election of Senator Brill as
chairman. Senator Palmer Pop.) presented
q new set of rules, which takes the organiEa.
tlon out of the hands of the lieutenant gov
ernor (Rep), and places it in the hands Of the
Populist majority. The rules were adopted
and committee of five named to select per-
manent officers fer the senate
There was no display or any effort in that
line at the Inauguration ceremonies. The in
auguration ball, which occurred tonight was
a brilliant affair
Last evening Colvin Olson and DAILY got
together and agreed to eject Colvin give
DAILY high position, and organize an anti
Kyle combination. The senator heard of it
and promptly put on his fighting clothes
the Daily and the LoUcks faction was turned
down hard, and the choice positions go to
Kyle men. This is first blood for the senator
and is regarded as big victory. Already
quite scrap is on among the Pops 1t is
generally believed that Cherry and Palmer
wrote a part of Gov. Lees message and that
they are trying to corrall all the valuable
patronage. The straight-out Pops are angry
and declare that the free silver Republican

INFORMS CHAIRMAN ROSING THAT
HE WILL NOT CONTEST THE
ELECTION.
PAD VOTES ENOUGH TO ELECT,
HE THINKS, FROM THE DATA
FURNISHED HIM BY THE COM
MITTEE,
IF THE PEOPLE EVER WAKE UP
They VIII Cast Vote, He Thinks,
So Decisive as Not to Need
Contest.

John Lind, Of New Ulm, is as con-
ident as ever that he was duly elected
governor Of the state last November;
but he is not going to make any at
tempt to prove it. He is satisfied that
Gov. Clough shall attend to the duties
of the Office, in spite Of the efforts
of the Democratic state central COM
mittee to persuade him to contest the
election. L. A. Rosing, chairman of
the committee; T. D. O'Brien, national
committeeman, and others, who be-
lieved with Lind that he was elected,
even though the returns showed a small
majority for the Republican candidate
for governor have also abandoned the
idea Of a contest. In letter to Mr..
Rosing, written last Saturday, Mr.
Lind sets forth his reasons for declin-
ing to make the contest. Mr.. Rosing
came to st. Paul yesterday and con-
ferred with Mr.. O'Brien, and it was
agreed that the matter should be
dropped. Following is Mr.. Lind's letter:
NEW ULM. Mimi, Jan. FL. Rosing, ESQ.,
Cannon Falls. Minn.-My Dear Mr.. Rosing:
Your favor of recent date at hand and noted.
While it appears conclusively from the data
obtained by the committee and the infor-
nation forwarded to me direct, that more
than enough votes were cast for me. had they
Deen counted, to determine the election in
our favor, l still believe it unwise to insti.
tute contest. Our election law contains no
express provision for cOntestng an election
for state office. The courts might hold that
the provision governing contests for the leg
islature and for county Offices applies but
even If 1t did, the provisions for conducting
those contests. and especially for securing a
recount of the ballots, are utterly Inadequate
and furnish no guide for the conduct OF a
state contest. Hence it would be unsafe 10
rely on the statutory remedy-in fact, there
is none.
To proceed by the quo warranto would re-
quire the consent of the attorney general
He would have the control of the case You
realize what that would mean. Besides If in
spite of all these obstacles we should prevail
1t would be barren victory. The session Of
the legislature would be over. The opDor-
tunfty for the executive to aid in needed re-
forms. except such are incident to mere ad-
min1stration, would be past. In view of these
facts am sure that you will agree with me
that it would not be the part of prudence 10
contest. however tempting 1t may appear
theoretically.
As to the plea of duty to which you refer
and which so many Of my friends have urged
l have only this to say: l feel that we have
done our duty. If the people of this state
ever wake to a realization of the corruption
that pervadeS and controls the administration
OF aHairs in this state, a vote will be cast
so decisive that no contest will be needed 10
establish the popular verdict.
Wishing you a happy New Year. and that
you may escape the present wave of McKin-
ley prosperity, 1 am, yours truly,
john LIND.

THE SENATORIAL PLUM IN PENN
sYLVAlNIA PICKED by WANA-
MAKERS RIVAL.
VICTORY FOR BOSS QUAY.
PENROSE, THE SUCCESSFUL. CANDI-
DATE, GRooMED BY THE
JUNIOR SENATOR.
A "RUMPn HOUSE in DELAWARE.
Organized by the Republicans Who
Were Refused Recognition In the
Regular Assembly.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 5.-The fac
tional Republican contest for the sue
cession to the seat in the United States
senate occupied by j. Donald Cam
eron, which has kept the people of the
state In a fever heat for many weeks,
was finally settled tonight in the Joint
party caucus of the Republican mem
bers of the Legislature, who chose State
Senator Boies Penrose, of Philadelphia,
as the man upon whom the honor shall
be bestowed OF the 215 Republicans
in the legislature, 211 were present and
voting. OF these votes, Penrose re-
ceived 1873; eX-Postmaster General John
Wanamaker, rs; Senator Cameron, /:
Congressman John B. Robinson, 1. and
Superior Court Judge Charles E. Rice,
Of Wilkesbarre, l.
The place has been conceded to Phila-
delphia from the start, and the fight
was thus narrowed4 down to Wana-
maker and Penrose. The latter received
the support of Senator Quay, and his
success is great victory for that great
leader. Mr.. Wanamaker was backed
by the faction in which David Martin
is the leader, assisted by strong orga-
nizations Of business men in nearly ev-
cry county. Much bitterness was ex-
hibited on both sides.
Senator John G. Grady, who cast the
single vote receiveds by Mr. Cameron,
was the caucus chairman. While the
caucus was deciding the senatorship,
Senator Quay remained at the Pen
rose headquarters in hotel near the
capitol awaiting the news Of his vic
tory, and Mr.. Wanamaker was sur
rounded by a large gathering of Phila-
delph1a business men at a rival hotel
Even while the death knell of his
senatorial aspirations was being sound
ed Mr.. Wanamaker was planning to
continue the fight against Senator Quay
in the state. At a meeting Of his sup
porters Mr.. Wanamaker made a speech.
in which he declared his intention Of
carrying the fight against Senator
Quay into every county, and to con-
test with him the right to name the
party candidates for state treasurer
and auditor general. Senator Quay's
term expires in March, 1899, and, ac-
cording to Mr.. Wanamaker's friends,
the business men VIII continue their
organization with. the object of defeat
ing Mr.. Quay should he be a candidate
for reelection. The legislature will
ratify the caucus selection of Mr., Pen
rose on Jan. 10.

"RUMP" HOUSE
Organized by the Ousted Repu bIi-
cans of Delaware.

DOVER, Del, Jan. 5.-The Delaware
legislature was organized today amid
confusion and turmoil. The seven Kent
county Republicans, against whose
contest for seats the court of errors
and appeals yesterday decided. were
denied recognition, and after fruitless
protest, the Republicans left the han
and organized Il ''rump house at the
Hotel Richardson, where they elected
DR.. T. G. Moore speaker and Charles
Hastings, clerk. After notifying the
senate that they were ready to receive
any communication from that body
and receiving no reply, the body ad-
jOurned to meet next Friday after
neon.
The Kent countians were led by DR..
George w. Marshall, chairman of the
Republican county committee. who
Nainly appealed to the speaker and
clerk of the regular house to accept
their credentials. When they appeal
ed to the Republican senators to re-
tire from the hall, and organize an
other body, Senators Pearce and John
M. G. Moore refused to do So although
it is charged tonight that they had
agreed to do so in case Senator j.
Frank Alice, of Kent, was not recog-
nized.
The senate was also organized by the
seat was in dispute, being permitted
to vote, while Alice was not. This
makes the vote five to four in favor
OF the Democrats. After participating
in the vote for temporary chairman,
the Republicans refused to vote, ex-
cept in the case of the chaplain, when
John M. G. Moore voted for Rev. T. p.
Revelle, who was elected. Senator
Handy championed the cause of the
Republicans, but his colleagues re-
manned mute.
Before adjournment, Senator A1rich
filed a protest against the right of Mr..
Meredith to vote on temporary organ
ization, but no action was taken there
on. After adjournment the Republican
senators held a conference in the state
house parlor during which Senators
Handy and Alice accused Senator
George Fisher Pearce of treachery and
of playing into the hands Of the Demo-
Gratis Pearce made no defense.
