DON'T BET.

The Philadelphia Times publishes the
following sensible bit Of advice for the
benefit of its readers:
The politicians have reached the
claim-everything stage of the canvass.
State and county chairmen of both po-
litical parties in all the principal states
in which important elections are to be
held are sending out estimates which
assert the utter fmpOssi bility of the de-
feat of the candidates of their respec-
tive parties. This is as true in New
York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware
and Ohio as in Pennsylvania, and indi-
Gates that politicians, like gamblers, un-
uerstand the value of bluffing.
The before-election bluff has become
so universal as to have lost all value as
a safe befOre-electiOn estimate. The
sure-to-win claim is made for the pur-
pose of holding wavering voters in line,
and he is a very foolish man who bets
his money on the bluffing claims of the
regulation party leaders
This is more especially true of the
present election contest than of any for
mer one. The spirit of independence is
abroad and steadily growing. and party
leaders know it. The confident claims
are based upon the wish that is father
to the thought and little else, and the
wise man at this stage of the present
election contest is the one who keeps
MS money in his pocket and decides to
elbow the result to be determined after
khs votes have been cast and counted.

WITHOUT HIS SPLEEN.
Washington Boy Living After That
Organ is Removed.

Washington, Nov. Am operation
was performed yesterday afternoon at
the Emergency hospital on Fred Acton,
a -year-oId boy, which, in the event
of its being successful. will be of par
ticular interest, not only to the hospital
staff and all local physicians, but to the
entire medical world.
The boy was brought into the hos
pital suffering from injuries resulting
from the kick of a. mule.
An operation was performed which
disclosed the fact that the abdominal
cavity was filed with a blood clot, and
that the spleen was ruptured.
A hemOrrhage had resulted from the
rupture, and the physicians had no al
tentative but to remove the injured
organ. The intestines were then care
fully washed and replaced.
The operation, which was a most deli
cate and dangerous one, consumed
about an hour, and the boy came out
of it in splendid condition, all things
considered. Whether or not he can live
after having been deprived of his spleen
is a matter of conjecture.
The physicians at the hospital state
that the operation is without parallel
in Washington, and few similar cases
are recorded in medical annals. Such
operations have been performed on dogs,

SUBDUED BY HYPNOTISM.
Sailor in Fit Promptly Obeys a Sur

New York, Nov. 4.-Hypnotism was
employed today by a Bellevue hospital
surgeon in subduing man in a fit

come. The sailor, who had developed
all the strength of mania, pulled all five
of the policemen about the pavement

hold and the sailor ran into the middle

lowed him up and caught his eye. The
doctor is slight of build, and the blue
jacket, who belonged to the Brooklyn,
is nearly six feet tall and had muscles
like iron. The surgeon followed the

man with his magnetic eye. The sailor
gazed into the face of the doctor and an
expression of establishment and of fear
came into his eyes. The surgeon made
mystic passes about the mans head.
The sailor, with his eyes intently fixed
upon the physicians face, initiated the
movements. The doctor stepped to one
side, and the jackie followed him.

way toward the ambulance, and going
through motions similar to those of

In Wilmington, N. c., the white peo-
pie pay 90 per cent of the taxes and
own 81 per cent of the property, but out
of a total population of $4,000 the ne
groes cast 1900 more votes than the
whites, fill 78 per cent of the offices and
expend the money which the white tax
payers contribute to the treasury. The

prising in view of these facts in con-
nection with the innate prejudices of
the people.
