Remarkable Operation.

New York, June 1l.-One OF the
most unusual operations yet re-
corded in surgery was performed
last week on young Harlem
woman in this city, Miss Wertes,
90 years old, by which was effected
the cure Of case Of appendicitis.
No knife was used, no medicine,
no poultice, no ice pack, none of
the usual methods of physicians
and surgeons to treat this most
serious Of ailments. So simple was
the method employed that only
eight minutes elapsed from the
time the physician reached the
patient until he had completed his
work.
The operator, DR.. Halmer, of
this city. seemed only to apply one
hand 70 point midway between
the thigh Of the young woman and
a point above the stomach; then
bent up the right leg of the patient
at the knee joint and gave the leg
a slight twist by means of a quick
motion. emptying the appendix by
forcing the femur bone against il.
This was repeated two or three
times and the operation was at an
end.
Miss Wertes is up and about and
feels no inconvenience whatever
from the operation.

Case of Bigamy.

The New Orleans Picyaune Of last
Tuesday, under the head of 'Gretna
Gossip" says:
It is now settled that NJ ]. Pons, Of
whose career much has been published
of late, will face the st. Tammany
court to answer to the charge OF blgamy.
Sheriff J. J. Strobe, of that parish,
was in Gretna yesterday forenoon to
have q personal interview with Sherin
Marrero regarding the matter. Sherih
Strobe brought with him warrant is
sued by the st. Tammany court, and
based on the charge of bigamy pre-
ferred by him against Pons. This war
rant Sheriff Marrero will hold, and
should POns manage to furnish the
bond fixed by Judge Rost in the arson
case pending against him. be will be
held by the Jefferson sheriff on the
warrant for bigamy, and be ct once
turned over to the custody of the st.
Tammany officer. Sheriff Strobe visit
ed Pons at the Gretna jail yesterday
and identified him Is the POns that " as
married to Miss Lizzie Gilbert, at Cow
ington. Pons was asked by the St. Tam
many sheriff II he had ever secured .
divorce from his first wife, the one iiv-
ing In New Orleans.
ssNo," the prisoner replied, II was
married to her thirty-four years ago,
Ut st. Mary's church, New Orleans, and
have never been divorced"
Sheriff Strobe, when he left Gretna,
said he would pay visit to Mrs. Pons
Mo. l, at her home on St. Anthony
street, in the city, in order to question
her on her marriage to P0ns.
Despite the fact Pons cOnvicts him
self of the charge Of bigamy by his
own admission, both women on whom
he bestowed his name, and whom he
deceived since his second marriage by
the MANY clever ruses necessary to the
of his double state OF liv-
ing, continue to be loyal and faithful to
him as though he were the embodiment
Of husbandly virtue.

A woman notary public in Colo
rada, who was recently married,
asked the Attorney General what
name she should use officially In
the future. He has replied that
she must sign all documents as be-
fore her marriage, for he finds no
law compelling or even authorizing
a woman to drop her maiden name
on the simple excuse of marriage.
In fact, he says that there is no
authority for change of name at
marriage or at any other time.

PROBABLE MURDER.

With the finding Of the body of
an unknown white man on the
north shore of Lake Pontchartraln,
a dark crime has been brought to
light. 1t was first thought that
the man had been drowned and his
body washed ashore, but an au-
topsy disclosed the fact that he
came to his death from gunshot
wound.
No man answering the descrip-
ton of the body was known in the
vicinity of where it was found.
The deceased was about five feet
six or seven inches in height,
weighed about $50 pounds, had an
olive complexion, dark curly hair,
and wore gray jean trousers, white
top shirt, blue undershirt. He
had on neither coat nor hat.
Where he came from no one is able
10 say.
The wound was not visible to
those who found him, and the case
was reported to Coroner Pigott. OF
st. Tammany, as one of drowning,
but when the man Of medicine ex-
amined the body he found pistol
shot wound. The bullet entered
the right breast and had an exit
under the left arm.
The remains were inferred and
the authorities have. the matter
under investigation.
A handkerchief with the initial
TX" worked in it was found on
the body and may furnish a clue
to the identity of the deceased

Fifty hospital ambula1ces, ship
ped to Tampa, Fla, over a year
ago, BY the local army officials to
he forwarded TO Cuba for the use Of
United States troops, have been
lost. The matter was brought to
the attention of General Anderson
by q letter from Washington stating
that the War Departments search for
the missing property had been I'M
successful, and suggesting that the
Chicago officials join in the hunt.
What makes the loss more sst0nish-
ing is that it took q freight train
Of seventeen cars to haul the ambn-
lances from the city.

WaterWOrkS and Electric
Lights.

A number Of our citizens have ex-
pressed themselves as being IN favor
Of bonding the town. the money 10
be paid by small special tax, for
waterworks and electric lights. A
number Of younger and smaller
towns have already done this, and
realize the great benefit Of such
improvements. We believe the idea
is a good one, and will give il our
hearty support. A plant suitable
for our town would cost about
SIS 900, and We could easily pa,
out 10 . few years, when IL would
belong to the town and become .

ii wish, said a doctor the other
day, as he watched a group OF
school children troop out Of a con.
fectioner's, where they had been
spending their pennies, ssthat
could form a society among the
little folks, in which each member
would take pledge to spend all
his pocket money for fruit instead
OF sweets. = He wanted to do two
things-to stop their eating sweets,
aud coax them to eat more fruit.
An apple or a banana or an ORANGE
can usually, one or the other Of
them be bought for the price Of a
few eweets, and the fruit is much
better in every way than the sweet.
There is rash on the skin that
often appears on the face, which is
caused by eating sweetmea,s.
Sugar, as every one knows, is heat
ing to the blood, aud this rash is
due to overheating; it certainly IS
the effect of the sugar. Very little
sweet stuff should be taken between
meals. because sugar ferments
and fermentation badly
deranges the digestive organs

| Decision Involving a
Homestead Entry.

Washington, June Gloom
missioner Herman of the General
Land Office, in a contest involving
! homestead entry, has decided
that an administrator of a deceased
entry man is without authority
under the homestead laws to re-
linquish the entry of the deceased,
whether authorized to do SO by the
local courts or not. In former
years the practice has been to allow
an administrator to execute a re-
linquishment Of homestead where
he acted under the direction of q
probate court having jurisdiction
to direct him, and where there was
evidence that there was no widow,
devisee or heir capable of succeed
ing to the entry.

To Protect Animals From
Flies.

In the U. S. Annual Report Of
the Bureau of Animal Industry for
1897. The subjoined formula was
named III the use to protect animals
from flies during the Charlton epi-
demic in Louisiana that year:
pound common hard soap;
2 gallons fish oil;
gallon water.
Dissolve the soap in boiling water
and while still hot add the fish
oil and agitate the whole until
thoroughly mixed. For use add
one par. of the emulsion to from 8
to 10 parts Of cold water and apply
all over the animals. A large or
small quantity can be made proper
tionately as desired.
Whether the multitudinons flies
that always prevail in times Of
drought do or do not transmit char
bon from one animal to another, 1t
is certain that they distress work
animals up to the limit OF endurance
and increase the losses of live stock
in such seasons.
The outbreak Of charbon now pre-
vailug ia several sections of the
State was certainly developed by
the drought and doubtless increased
10 its fatality by the myriads Of flies
that have been attacking the ami
mails for month. The recent rains
have given some relief against the
fly pest. but still more will be
needed to drown them out and to
drown out or render inert the char
