Preparation for the International
Gathering May 8.
Washington, April l0.-The post
office department has leased the old
Corcoran art gallery building at the
corner of Seventeenth street and Penn
sylvnnin avenue for the use of the in
ternational postal congress, which is
to assemble here on May 5. 1t is ex-
pected that the congress will be in ses-
sion six or eight weeks. The entire
building will be fitted and furnished ex-
pressly for the congress. The union
embraces the whole world, excepting
the Chinese empire, Corea and the
Orange Free State. These latter coun-
tries are expected to join the union dur
ing this congress, and will be represent
ed by delegates. Each nation can send
as many delegates as it desires to, but
will have but one vote.
The convention will be held with
closed doors and the proceedings will
be in the French language, according to
the usual custom. The first topic of
Importance to be considered will be that
of transit rates by intermediary coun-
tries on mails received from other coun-
tries. 1t is likely that the result will
be general reduction of these rates,
circumstance which would be disad-
vantageous to the United States.
President Mckinley will entertain the
congress at the white house, and num-
Der of excursions will be made, not only
to places of historical interest, but for
the purpose of studying various features
of the postal system of this country
and the various methods, devices and
appliances in use. The appropriation
for the congress. has not yet been made,
but the pending sundry civil bill con-
tains for this purpose 100000. The
usual cost of these congresses is said
to be about $3.50, 900.

University of Illinois Crippled b
Globe Savings Bank Failure.

Globe Savings Bank Failure.
Chicago, April lo.-C. Il. Churchill,
cashier of the defunct Globe savings
bank, appeared before Justice Hall and
furnished bonds for his appearance on
charge of embezzlement.
Warrants We're issued by Justice Hall
for the arrest of c. w. Spalding, A. d.
Avill, and Mr.. Churchill, president, vice.
president and cashier respectively of
the Globe bank. The warrants charged
the officers of the bank with embezzle-
ment, and were sworn out by Frank II.
Stone, of the firm of Stone & Francis.
The firm was depositor at the Globe
bank, and the allegation is that money
was taken in after the officers knew
that the institution was insoivent.
Something over 100000 in cash and
securities belonging to the University
Ut Illinois was in the possession of c.
w. Spalding at the time of the failure.
Mr.. Spalding is the treasurer of the
university, and it is feared by the rus
tees of that Institution that some of
their securities and perhaps some of
the cash has gone with the rest of the
wreck.
There is gross carelessness charged
to the university officials during the
litter part of Mr.. Spalding's term as
treasurer of the institution. 1t is said
his accounts have not been audited for
over two years. His term expired the
first part of March, but owing to dis
agreement among the trustees as to his
successor no election for new treas
urer has been held.
Nothing definite as to Mr.. Spalding's
accounts with the university can be as
certained till next Tuesday. The uni
versity has his bond for more than
enough to cover his trust, but that the
bond can be realized on in case of neces-
sity there is no certainty.

Undiluted alcohol, hard cider, Jamai-
ca ginger, bay, rum, lemon extract and
perfumery are only few among the
many beverages on which the Indians
from the neighboring Omaha and Win
nebago reservations are in the habit of
celebrating their occasional visits to
Sioux City. So far as known, how
ever, Jim Humphrey. thin, cadaverous
red man of the Winnebago tribe, is
the only one who goes on sweet spirits
of inter DRINKS. The pharmacist from
whom Jim obtained the drug had no
idea of the purpose to which his GUS
toner put it, and the Indian might
have gone on Indefinitely had the whim
not struck him to change to another
druggist. The latter didn't understand,
when Humphrey asked for "piter mites"
and the Investigation which followed
brought out the actual facts in the case.
Jim was speedily returned to the reser-
walton minus the usual supply of his
favorite poison. No attempt will be
made to punish the druggist from
whom he obtained the drug, as the lat
ter was ignorant of the use to which
it was put.

SKULL LINED WITH cELLuLolp.
Surgeons Perform n New Operation
for Depression of Skull,

IOr depression of Skull.
After experimenting nearly year
with the skull of u young Grecian Sam
son, surgeons at Bellevue hospital, New
York, have found certain cure for
cases of depression of the skull, which
have nearly always heretofore meant
death. A lining of gold was removed
from Edward El Heiclie's skull and one
of prepared celluloid substituted. The
success of the operation is now assured,
and Ell Heicke will be dismissed in few
days.
He had suffered from depression of
the skull, causing epileptic attacks.
The skull was opened and separated
from the brain by thin gold leaf, which
in the course of month cracked, and
the patient was as bad off as before.
1t was then decided to try an entirely
new substitute, and celluloid was Sc
lected. A thin piece of celluloid, spe-
cia]iy prepared. was submitted to tests
and then heated to high pitch, so that
its brittleness would be overcome.
Then it was substituted for the gold
lining, and, after plaster cast had
been made, the section of the skull was
sewn in for the third time.
That was done some two weeks ago.
The skull was healed. nicely. Ell Heicke
is feeling well, and the surgeons are
certain that the celluloid will never
crack or break. 1t is the first time
such an operation has ever been per-
formed, and for that reason has at
tracted the attention of physicians.
