DRAWS COLOR LINE CLOSER
Maryland Courts Close tne School of
Art and Design to Negroes.

Baltimore, Dec. 13.-The lengthy con-
test of Robert w. Clark. Jr., colored
for admission to the Maryland School
of Art and Design has been decided
against him. It was a vigorous fight to
break down the color line at this insti-
tuition. Judge Richie dismissed the
petition for mandamus and found
against Clark on every point, declaring
in substance that he could not ask for
such mandamus under the constitution
of the United States, under the ordi-
nance of the mayor and city council, or
under the contract of the city with the
Maryland institute. Clark's counsel
Immediately entered an order of ap-
peal. The case will be taken to the
court of appeals of Maryland. 1t may
reach the United States supreme court.
as a question of Interpretation of the
constitution of the United States is in
volved
Under its charter the institute claims
it is a private corporation and Judge
Richie says the fourteenth amendment
has nothing to do with this case.
The trouble arose over appointments
made by colored city councilinen to the
schools The city annually apprOpria-
ted fund for the institute in return
for which a certain number of students
appointed by the city are admitted.

LOCAL DRAMATIC NEWS.

Thomas W.Keene's "Richelieu'' in this
city last season was much better than
either his Marc Antony or "Shylock''
at the Crawford theater Saturday.
Enough people went to see Mr.. Keene
as Marc Antony" Saturday night to
make one of the largest audiences that
has been in the Crawford theater this
season While the lower floor was not
full, standing room was sold in the bal

to the gallery. This is significant, and
could be easily construed to mean that
Mr.. Keene's tragedy is regarded as
good only at reduced prices.
Mr.. Charles b. HanfOrd, Mr. Keene's

by many to be a better actor than the
tragedian himself. He makes a better
stage appearance. and his delivery is
above that of the tragedian. His in
depreciation of the character of Mar

day night was entirely satisfactory.

Hoods Pills take. easy to operate. asc e
Mir. Eddy's v.,ascope.

Mir. William A. Eddy, who has a well deserved reputation for his ex- perimenis in kite making and flying. has devised what is termed ..visia- scope"--an instrument which enables persons on the ground to view the surrounding country with almost the same effect as if they were at the ele- vation of the kite. The visiascope looks something like huge magic lantern. It is designed on the lines of the ordinary camera obscura. but the pictures are thrown from mirror set iu the top upon sheet of semi transparent parafline paper. This does away with the reversed effect of the ordinary camera obscura.
 By lying on his back with his feet toward the view to be seen, the ob- server sees the landscape stretched before him in its proper condition. There is, moreover, Il peculiar effect of being in the air on level with the vistascope and looking out over \ level stretch of country. The apparatus recently used by Mr. Eddy measured 5x2I feet and was carried up by a team of Eddy kites reinforced by a Hargrave box kite. Mir. Eddy lay flat on his back with a powerful field glass and looked up at the reflector of tho camera obscura. He was able tO see objects with great clearness; houses aDd trees mile aud half distant were distinctly seen. The kite cord was let out until the yisiascope was 800 feet in the air, but the trials were less satisfactory, because of the sway ing of the kite line, which rendered it extremely difficult to follow the aIotion of the apparatus with the field glass. .-Scientifc American.

A Physical Miracle.

An operation performed on Wednes- day last by Drs. Hinch and Harper was one of unusual and general inter- est as it followed condition which is perhapse unique in the history of sur g-ry. Not merely as to geueral char acler but as tO the extent to wbich the diseas. ran without bringing about the drc.ase of the patient.
 The operation consisted in the sim pie amputation of a right limb. The patient who is A half-breed Mexican IDdian, was shot at Cubero on the night of the 17th of April last, in \ frxcas that followed a baile. He lay until the morning of the 18th when he was found by friends and cared for in the rudest fashion. His leg was bound in turpentine cloths and that was the extent of surgical and medical treat ment he ever received. The ball passed into the inner side above the knee and came ont below on the outer.
 Through lack of attention, and the fact that the arterIes which supplied nourishment to the limb below the knee was severed by the shot. the flesh slowly purified and the natural consequence--slonghiug of the flesh began. The odor was so uauseating that the poor fellow assisted nature in her attempt to save herself and cut away, from time to time, such por- tions of the calf as become too putlid, with his pocket knife.
 This went on until about all tho muscles to tine knee were eaten and cut away. The miracle is that the poor fellow lived at all and his death would certainly have resulted in short time but for the operation of Wednes- day. The amputated limb was viewed by hundreds of our citizens. Below the abrupt break in the flesh some inches below the knee. the bones of the leg and foot xra bare save for little skin black and wr,nkled as g amummy's The toes and ankle were Timber snd easily worked as those of healthy foot. Nature seems to have even at- tempted to cover the ghastly mutila- ton with new cuticle and the recuper- a,ive work even without scientific aid was wonderful. The limb was pboto- graphed on Thursday morning by Chandler. Consent has been given by the patient to keep the limb so that when he gets we'll he may take it 'sclub the brains out of the fellow that shot him." It will be preserved. With photograph description of the case with its history will be forwarded to the leading medical journals. The operation was successful and the pa- tient who lies at the home of Mir. Dan Dubois is doing as well as could be ex- pected. Gallup, (N. M.) Cleaner.
