And may we then a garland Irvine
And all be there to cheer

STRANGE, WASN'T 1T.
Doctors Cut Out a WOman's
Stomach Successfully
But She Died.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Under unfavora-
bic conditions the operation of remov-
ing the stomach from a woman, which
was successfully performed in Zurich
last September and startled the surgi-
cal world, was repeated yesterday in
Milwaukee.
DR.. E. ]. Farnum of Chicago was as
sisted by DR.. D. P. G. Hankwitz of the
Wisconsin city hospital, and the opera
ton was performed at the Milwaukee
hospital. Mrs. z. BeStain of 772 Sew
enth street was the patient.
The stomach was removed and Mrs.
Bestain survived for a cOnsidera BILE
time, but the weakness consequent
on her long illness and previous Oper-
alton, ill-f1tted her for the ordeal and
she gradually sank under the shock.
She died in four hours after the remOv-
al of the organ. An additional draw
back was that Mrs. BeStain'S malady-
cancer of the stOmach-had progressed
farther than had been apparent.
Mrs. Besta1n was a sufferer for years
with cancer of the stomach. On No
vember 16 last an operation to remove
the cancer was performed, but it was
not successful, as the cancerous growth
Immediately reformed. She was still
weak from the effect of the first opera
ton, when the physicians decided that
another operation would be necessary.
When told it was the only hope that
they had of saving her life, weak as she
was, Mrs. BeStain readily consented
and it was decided that the only oper-
alton which could benefit was the same
which Dr. Carl Schlatter had perform
ed.
The physicians closely followed the
SchIatter operation and carefully re-
moved the entire organ. They found
then that the cancer had not only af-
fected the stomach, but that it had al
so consumed much of the other tissues.
This necessitated the removal of more
of the tissues than the surgeons had
thought necessary at first. They, how
ever, performed the operation success
fully, but on account of the weak con-
dition of the patient she was not able
to survive the operation.

People in India Still Look for Reopen
ing of the MINIS.

Bombay, Jan. 15.-The commercial
situation has a more favorable aspect
with the prospect that the stringency
commodatiOn become available.
The stringency is largely due to the
locking up of the capital in silver under
the idea that the minis will be reopen
ed.
It is also due in part to the exodus of
merchants because of the famine Al

HE LOVED A CHORUS GIRL.
And When She Tired of Him Sir
Charles Cunningham Killed
Himself

London, Jan. 15.-Tt has been an open
secret in theatrical circles that Sir Charles
Arthur Fairlie Cunningham, who, as an
nounced by the Daily Mail today, COM
mitted suicide at the Hotel Victoria, this
city. during the night of December 6. had
long been infatuated with Miss Pricer. a
chorus girl of the In Town company.
During the company's London engages
ment Sir Charles occupied a front seat
nightly, watching the girl. and after the
performance he drove away with her. He
followed the company to America and re-
turned here in December, when it was re-
ported that he was considerably downcast
because Miss Pricer had refused to have
anything more to do with him.
The coroner gave out report of the
case today, showing that Sir Charles shot
himself in the head. 1t was understood
that Sir Charles left a letter directing
that his clothing and effects be given to
Miss Pricer.

OCCASION OF A LIFETIME.
Golden Wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
v. Auter at Eaton, O.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. V. Auter who are
spending the winter in Eaton, O.. ceIe-
brated their golden wedding on Jan. 5.
The following account is taken from
the Eaton Democrat:
Tor many years they have made their
home in Topeka, Kansas, but have
never forgotten the home and friends
of their youthful days, and have made
frequent visits to Eaton, renewing old
friendships and making new ones, and
have thus kept in touch, not only with
surviving friends of fifty years ago
but with the children and grand child
rem OF those who are gone. They have
been IN Eaton several weeks, on their
annual pilgrimage to the mecca of their
younger days, and have made the Ho-
tel Rossman their temporary home.
Nothing could be more appropriate
or more in keeping with their well
known hospitality than that they
should have their friends around them
on the fftieth anniversary of their
wedding day. Invitations were sent
out and on Wednesday evening, Janu-
airy 9th, 1898, the capaciOus parlOrs of
Hotel Rossman were crowded with in
Vited guests. The bride and groom of
fifty years ago stood in the front par
Tor and received their guests, and as
each was welcomed with an Old-time
grasp of the hand, and smiles, congrat-
ulations and good wishes were ex-
changed, it was hard to realize that a
half century had elapsed since their
long and happy married life began.
Their erect figures gave evidence that
time had dealt gently with them, and
the glow upon their cheeks proved that
the many cOngratulatOry remarks of
friends. upon their youthful appear
ance, were appreciated. Several of the
guests, now grandfathers or grand
mothers, had been present on the hap
py occasion of fifty years ago, and
Mrs. J. H. Foos, (nee Julia Morgan)
one OF the bridesmaids at the wedding
now a well preserved and happy grand
mother, stood again by the bride and
shared with her the CONGRATULATIONS of
friends.
When the guests had all arrived and
been duly welcomed, supper was an
nOunced. A description of the supper
is beyond the powers of the writer.
Suffice it to say that Mrs. ROSSman and
her daughters did themselves and
their hotel proud" Everything to be
desired was there, and the tables were
so tastefully arranged and the deIica-
cleS so elegantly served that no one
could have left the table dissatisfied
The guests returned to the parlOrs and
then the presents were exhibited
Many presents from friends in Topeka
and other points were received, and

dropped into poetry and read really
creditable poems appropriate to the
