X RAYS FIND A CENT.
The Copper Coin Had Found Lodg-
ment In a Childs Throat.
Had It Not Been for Prof. Roentgen's
New Famous Discovery This Roches-
ter On. W Youngster Would
Have Had to DIE.

The infant is % months old, and lives
at Rochester. He has just arrived at
an age when a child begins to investi-
gate in an earnest and intelligent man.
ner the nature of common objects sur
rounding him. Owing to his lack of
previous experience, he is apt to make
many mistakes. Thus it Happened that
this child, having a cent to play with,
thought he would test its quality as
food, and swallowed it. He never
found out how his digestive organs
would act upon it, for it lodged in the
oesophagus. which is the passage for
food from the mouth to the stomach.
For a week, says the New York Jour
nal, DR.. F. W. Limmer strived unsuc-
cessfully to get the coin out of the
poor child's throat. He brought into
hook-shaped instruments, but without
success. The child suffered much pain,
and it was evident that he would die
before long if not relieved. DR.. Tim
mer sought for some way of relieving
the sufferer without using the knife,
and came to the conclusion that the X
ray would possibly be of service. He
procured Crookes tube and the other
necessary apparatus, and arranged it
50 that the Y rays threw shadow of
the child on a screen. In this they
were able to locate the position of the
coin exactly. They saw at once that it
had lodged in a pocket from which it
could not be removed by pulling it up
ward. 1t was necessary to dislodge it
by pushing it down slightly. This dis
covery at once made the operation COM
paratively simple.
The patient was disposed so that he
could lie on his back with a Crookes
tube below his throat. Then he was
made unconscious by ether. One
physician used n microscope and
watched the position of the coin, while

see the forceps as we'll as the coin. DR..
Thinner was soon able to grasp the coin
with the forceps, and although it
slipped twice, he succeeded in remov-
ing it before five minutes had passed.
On the following day the physicians
were able to announce that the child
was out of danger.
This operation will be welcome news
to mothers, for one of the terrors Of
their lives Is the liability of small chill
dren to swallow things not intended
for digestion. You may watch child
with such diligence that he can hardly
crawl out Of the window or fall into the
fire, but Il is extremely difficult to pre-
vent him from quietly picking up small
articles and swallowing them. All
physicians know of cases Of children
who have endangered their lives by
their swallowing propensities. Nails,
coins, marbles, thimbles, lacks, buttons
and brass pins are among the things
that are curiously taken ID. Rarely do
serious results ensue. There is always,
however, the element OF danger, and a
physician should be sent for. In the
meanwhile, in any preliminary treat
ment, nothing should be administered
that will cause the child to reich.

much of his attention, r. H. Cowles
finds that he cannot devote the proper
amount of time to his Grocery Business

he will sell the building at Wadsworth
in which is located his General Mer-
chandise Store, the lot on which it
stands, large fre.proof cellar, the
stock OF goods on hand, the good will,
etc. The goods are all fresh, nothing

ous one, and the only reason for selling
is to enable Mr.. Cowles to give all OF his
time to other industries in which he is
engaged. Wadsworth is the best bust

opening offers splendid opportunity
for some good man to locate in Wads-
worth. Call on r. H. Cowles at his

CORBETT IN TRAINING.
Says the Public Will Demand That

Fitz Give Him Battle Again.
San Francisco. April lex Champion
James J. Corbett has gone into train
ing again.
Although no articles of agreement
have been signed, nor any definite ar
engagements for a battle consummated,
still Gentleman JIM asserts-and
with apparent sincerity-that he prac-
tically has another match on with the
new champion of the world, Robert
FitZSimmOnS-
Corbett argues that the Cornishma.n
will be compelled to re-enter the ring,
for the alleged reason that despite his
new laurels and glory he cannot make
q. living at anything else. 49, Then, once
he proclaims his return to the arena,
the public will demand that he try his
mettle once more against the man of
the pompadour rather than pick up
any of the so-called second raters.
Jim has chosen to convince himself
that he will meet Fitz again within the
ropes inside of a year.
''Fitz never could get the people to
come to his exhibitions and he never
will, despite his new laurels. What
will be the result2 Why, he will have
to fight again, that's all. That being
the case, who has first call on him for
a contest? I tell you the public will
demand that he meet me again
Both FitzsimmOns and his manager,
Martin Julian, took a humorous view
of Corbett's latest move when informed
of it
That's all right; Jim has right to
do as he pleases,' said Julian. mo
body can blame him for doing every
thing he can to bring about another
forlorn chance to win back his laurels.
I don't want to say anything more
about what I believe to be Corbett's
real motives because since the carson
affair he has acted very decently with
us and has resorted to no bluhng or
blowing but so far as Fitz is concerned
he has announced his retirement from
the ring, and I guess he Will stay by
that declaration"

Wonderful Salt Deposits Found at
the Home of the Noted Actor.
New Orleans, April 1.-The existence
of salt had for long time been sus-
pected at Jefferson's island, but it was
only discovered after several attempts
had been made by Joseph Jefferson to
secure fresh water by driving an ar
teSian we'll 1t was then that the salt
was found and the drill failed to pene-
trate the substance. After some delay
a careful investigation was ordered by
Mr.. Jefferson, and the services of an
expert called in. By the aid of a dia-
mOnd drill it was then found that the
entire island was underlaid with a vast
deposit of rock salt, and bOrings made
in nine localities revealed the deposit
at varying depths in such a wonderful
quantity as to indicate a supply for the
world for ages. Billions of tons would
not clean up the deposit, for the drill in
one boring passed down 1855 feet through
the pure rock salt, and there was yet
no indication that the drill was any
way next the lower extremity of the
salt strata
The former name of the island was
Orange island, but after its acquisition
by Mr.. Jefferson it soon dropped its old
name, and is now known by that of
its owner 1t was purchased by the
veteran actor for the purpose of serv-
ing as his winter resort, and since it's
passing into his possession it has been
yearly used by him for q time in that

CARTER HARRISON ID.
Nominated by Populists Will Proba-
ably be Elected Mayor of Chicago.

Chicago, April 1.-Such hurrah time in
politics was seldom if ever before wit
messed in municipal campaign in Chi
ago. There are four full-fedged lead
ing candidates in the field, and each one
is perhaps a little more vehement and
boisterous than his neighbor. Electioneer-
ing is being conducted at a pace that is
killing, to say nothing of the excitement
it keeps the town in The candidates are:
Judge Nathaniel c. Sears, the regular Re
publican nominee; Carter Harrison, nomf-
mated by the PopulistS and endorsed by
the Bryan Democrats; John Maynard
Harlan, the of the supreme court
justice. and a present member of the
city council, who is running on an indie
pendent Republican ticket with a purity
in-pOliticS platform that is appealing
strongly to the young men of the city
Finally. of the conspicuous candidates,
comes Washington Hesing, the perennial
contestant, who is running himself as an
Independent Democrat of the sound mon
ey persuasion, on a kind of a business
ma n administration platform.
What the result of all this may be is
very much in doubt, but with the contin-
uance of existing conditions it seems
probable that Carter Harrison will be
elected. The Republicans are presuma~
bly, recognizing this more than anybody
else, for their efforts are being directed
entirely to getting some of the candidates
whose presence is dividing the vote that
would ordinarily go to Sears off the tick

are sharing the Republican vote

General Maceo's successor in Pinar del
Rio, who was captured by General Her
nandez de VelascO on Sunday near Ca
bezadas de Rio Hondo, came to Cuba in
1863. For four years he had followed the
calling of civil engineer at Barcelona,
Spain He remained in Cuba during the
long war of rebellion which was suspend
ed, though not by the articles of peace
signed at ZanJOn- He refused to sign the
peace and for a time continued to war
with Maceo and Leite Vidal, but finally
left the island in steamer Fernando Cati-
leo, furnished by General Martinez Cam
pos.
For fourteen months he was the secre-
Iary OF the Spanlsh-Anlerican gas works
at Havana Later he had positions of
trust in London, Madrid, Manila and Hon
duras- During his residence here the last
time fresh revolution broke out. Not
sympa thizing altogether with the plans
of the leaders of it, he left the island for
British colonies, and in due time arrived
at New York. He returned finally to
Cuba on September last by the invitation
of Maceo- Besides Spanish he speaks

CRANEANDTHE SYNDICATE
The Actor Likes it and Says it Helps
the Profession.

St. Louis, April 1.-William H. Crane,
an American actor of American plays,
is a natural comedian. He doesn't try
to be funny off the stage, but his jovial
good nature cannot be suppressed, al
belt there is a serious strain in his com
position.
The serious side of Mr.. Cranes ma
ture is the earnestness with which he
takes his art. He may laugh and in
ject funny stories into his discussion
of his plays and his successes, but they
are the deep things in his heart.
Mr.. Crane is one of the actors who
isn't afraid of the Hayman- Frohnan
Theater syndicate. Il am with the
syndicate people, he said, land found
it to my advantage. They have changed
my dates several times in a way that
meant money to me- The advantage
of the syndicate lies in their Oppor-
tunity for booking attractions in a way
that will prevent clashing. For in
stance, I would prefer not to play
against Nat Goodwin, Willard, Robson
or John Drew. I don't mind playing
against the Mandarin, In Gay New
York The Geisha' or attractions of
this nicely, and it means more money
all round.
I'VE don't anticipate the introduction
of trust features. Should the syndicate
show a disposition to dictate terms to
the player folk there would be instant
all the theaters in the country. If they
got ugly we could go where we pleased
and do as well as in the syndicate
houses. The fact that we were fight
ing a trust would rouse the people in
our behalf. I think the syndicate will
behave itself So long as it does it will
be of pecuniary benefit to the profess
SiOn.''
