Not So wonderfuI, says DIR. Brayton

Not So wonderful, Says DIR. BFayton.
The successful removal of a human stom-
ach by DIR. Carl Schlatter, of Switzerland,
is not regarded by the local physicians as
such a remarkable feat as laymen might
suppose it to be. DR.. A. w. Brayton, editor
of the Indiana Medical Journal said yester-
day that surgical operations involving equal
skill and daring had been performed by To-
cal physicians. 1t seems that the doctors
here do not think anything of cutting up
mans stomach and intestines and re-
moving large parts of them. DIR. Cook some
time ago performed the operation of re-
section of the stomach for cancer. in which
the intestines were rejoined to that organ
fact that human being can live long
time without a. stomach, provided the all
mentary canal Is in a healthy condition.
He says, also, thar there has never been
foreign surgical case which has not been
equaled in America, and that the feat per-
formed by DR.. Schlatter is not the first
instance in which practically the entire
stomach has been removed. Dr. Brayton
recalled that it has been done by DR.. Bull,
an Eastern physician, and by German
surgeon.
The accounts of the operation by DR..
Schlatter in yesterdays papers made good
son, for it is at this time that the minds
of many are impressed by the important
part played by the stomach in the affairs
of life. The doctors are popularity sup
posed to have run of stomach ailments
at this time. and in some cases the organ
proves such an inconvenient possession
that any method of disposing of 1t, even
though it be by the drastic mode adopted
by Schlatter, is calculated to interest the
earnest thought of the victims of Christ
mas turkey.

QuadrangIe Clubhouse Burned.

CHICAGO, Dec. 25.-This morning, for the
third time, flames destroyed the building of
the Quadrangle Club of the University of
Chicago. There were seven persons in the
building at the time, and all escaped. Two
of these, however, were more OF less hurt.
The janitor and his wife were asleep on the
third floor when the fire broke out, and
without stopping to dress they made a rope
of the bedclothes. as the escape to the
stairway was cut Off, and lowered them
selves safely out of the window. The loss
on the building will amount to $4,000. The
Quadrangle Club is composed of professors
and postgraduate students of the univer-
sity. The building. it is said, was owned by
the university, and the loss will fall on the
institution. The club, however will lose
heavily on the furnishing, which included
a number Of valuable paintings, sculpture.
etc.

SANDUSKY, o., Dec. 25.-The great pa
vilion on Johnson's island was destroyed
by fire yesterday in plain view of hundreds
on the water front in this city unable to
give assistance because the ice in the bay
was too light to bear up, but heavy enough
to obstruct navigation. The keeper of the
big building was absent and the blaze
originated from a stove. The half-dozen res
idents of the old prison grounds fought
heroically, but could not subdue the flames.
The keepers family had thrilling escape.
The loss is $4,000 a fourth of which is
covered by insurance. 1t was the site of
the old prison for Confederate soldiers.

The lawyer was pleased with this work OF
art. He loaded the office boy with volumes,
and put the card on top. Then the boy went
down the stairs and laid the books along
the curb with the card leaning against the
pile. AS he started upstairs for another
load. he noticed that a small crowd was
gathering When he reached the sidewalk
with a second load there wasn't book left
Of the original lot. The card was lying on
the walk and perhaps twenty people We're
staring at it. AS he advanced a number
of them grabbed the books before he conld
lay them down. They met him at the foot
OF the stairs when he appeared with the
third load, and a swaying mass of eager
loitereTs pressed forward for more. They
were on the stairs waiting for him when he
brought the fourth load, and over the heads
of the crowd he could see people running
from various directions TO find out the
cause of the trouble. Well, the books were
soon gone and even the card went, too.
The lawyer who planned the scheme was
delighted.
My first annual free-book distribution
was a rip-roaring success" he complacent-
" remarked.

HOW HE GOT RID OF THE BOOKS.
The Crowd Took the Agricultural Re-
ports Like Hot Cakes.
CIoveIand Plain DeaIel

An ex-member of the Legislature had a
large stock of State agricultural reports in
goOd-sized volumes piled up in his law Of
flee. 1t is a nice new office on Superior
street. and his associates in the profession
who occupy the same apartment consid-
cred the books a good deal of an eyesore.
The ex-member himself is no longer an
active tenant of the room, having been
elected to highly honorable place, and so,
in his absence, one of the associates de-
termined to dispose of the books in the
simplest manner known, aside from total
destruction. in short, he determined to
give them away.
Even that method he was afraid might
be a little difficult TO carry out, but he
went to a neighboring tenant, who is clever
with the marking brush and said:
Wont you kindly fix me up some kind
