A CURIOUS CASE OF SURGERY.
Operation for Broken Leg on a
Babe Eight Hours Old.

New York, July 3.-Eight surgeons stood
about the operating table in Bellevue AS
many nurses stood near. On the table lay
probably the smallest, certainly the young
est, patient ever operated upon there 1t
was a babe only eight hours old and its leg
had been broken at birth. The mother is
Mrs. Eta Scott, of No. PSI East Eighty
second Street. DR.. Cutujiian. of No. II
Lexington Avenue, attended her, and ad-
vised that the babe be taken TO a hospital,
as the operation to be performed was one
requiring the most delicate care. So
grouped around the table were the best
surgeons of the hospital, men on whose
skill and deftness of touch had often de-
pended a human life. Fortunately, the
baby was strong and well formed aside
from the accident which sent it TO the
operating table. Tenderly as the babes
own mother could have done the surgeon
caressed the leg. Then at just the right
slant pressure was eXerted, the broken
bones came together and were quickly
bound.
Then the baby was hurried away in care
of the tenderest nurse in the infants ward,
and every care taken lest it die of ex
haustion. But today the doctor said the
danger was over, and the babe will in a
few days be returned TO its mother.

GAMES TODAY.
Boston at Washington.

The Washington Baseball team arrived
today from Cincinnati, and will play the
Champions al National Park this after
noon. The record of the Senators on their
Western trip was far from brilliant, their
percentage of victories being or But
Notwithstanding this bad showing, a good
crowd should welcome them this after
noon. The boys have played good ball and
should have won several of the contests
that have gone in the lost column. Bad
luck has clung to them like grim death
TO a defunct darky, but a bask in the
smiles of friendly crowd may be able TO
scare away the hoodoo.
The disastrous trip received a fitting
finale at Cincinnati yesterday when the
Senators dropped two games TO the Reds.
The first was a pitchers battle between
Dinneen and Breitenstein, and with good
base running on the part of Irwin's men

man would not have been in vain. Brett

plate with nice hit.
Mcclure came down from his Michigan
home where he had been recuperating af-
ter his injury at St. Louis, and at once
donned the mask and hreastplate and
caught the second game. Mcfarland did
the pitching for the Senators, and did il
well up to the final inning, when he was
touched up rather lively by the Red legs

The Stafford Title.
(From the London Chronicle.


The famous title of Strafford, which has
Just been brought into such painful prom
inence, is derived from the wapentake or
district of Stanford, anciently Stranorth,
in Yorkshire, in which the Wentworth
family has been seated from Saxon times.
The only son of Thomas Wentworth, Earl
of Strafford who was beheaded in the time
of Charles l, died sonless, when his earl
dom became extinct, but the barony of
Raby passed under special remainder to
his cousin, an eminent statesman and plen-
ipotentiary for the treaty of Utrecht. He,
too, died sonless. but his daughters daugh-
ter married Mr.. Byng. member for Middle
sex, whose descendant on being raised TO
the peerage revived the historic title Mr.
Byng was Liberal of the type of Lord
Althorpe, and commanded immense infiu-
ence. He died childless, leaving his for
tune to his ennobled brother, Field Mar
shall Byng. Wrotham, the seat of the
family, was built by the ill-fated Admiral
Byng, whose execution in 1857 drew from
Voltaire the celebrated sarcasm that he
supposed it was pour encourager les au-
tres. The new successor to the. title

rights TO a company for constructing and
working the tramways on specified con-
ditions and as a matter OF fact, IL mas
already contracted with the Berlin firm
of Siemens & Halske, which is TO form an
Austrian company TO take over the con-
cession until 1925, when the entire sys-
tenn of electric tramways will pass into
the hands of the town without payment,
the town reserving the right of taking it
over at a valuation price, either on Janu-
ary 1, 1914, or January l, 1920. The ex-
listing Vienna tramways are to be trans
formed by the company into electric lines,
and the company will undertake, further-
more to construct within three PERIODS,
of which the last ends in 1908, an exten-
sive network of lines, which, together
with the present tramways, will extend
over about three hundred kilometres, or
nearly two hundred English miles. un-
fortunately, overhead wires are allowed,
except in the Ringstrasse, and the un-
pleasant aspect they will give to the town
is already visible in those streets through
which one electric line runs now.
The Vienna Metropolitan Railways, fin
ished or under construction, were planned
with such utter disregard of the real re-
ouirements of the population that not one
person in thousand will ever make use
of them The lines opened last May were
used, up to the emu OF DecehpSl, us ohis
six million persons, against seventy MIL
| lions using the tramways, while the gross
receipts fell far short of the working ex-
penses, not reckoning the interest on an
| outlay of tens of millions of fiorins. The
| network of electric tramways now TO De
| constructed also avoids the city-that is to
say, the most frequented part of town
but it will, at any rate, connect the out
lying districts with each other and Wlth
| the railway termini; and, when completed,
| 1t will remove the reproach that Vienna
has the worst and dearest locomotion In
| the world.
| In addition to the Metropolitan Rail-
ways. which are still unfinished, and tie
| extensive network of electric tramways,
there are at present under construction
some interesting public works OF differ
ent character, including the arching in OF
the lower part of the River Wien. which
flows through the greater portion OF Wen
ma. Houses are to be built and boulevards
opened over the arched-in river. l may
also mention the regulation of the Danube
Canal and the construction OF winter
harbor in the Danube near Vienna. Alto
gether this capital just now has many at
| fractions for the engineer, and delegates
from various architectural societies. rail-
way constructors and hydraulic engineers
etc. are constantly arriving to study the
great undertakings in progress.
