operation in giving to Ella Bruck a new

layers-eXternal and internal.
The external layer was removed. togeth-
er with the skin and flesh, and then the
entire dap was twisted around so that 1t

piece remaining attached to the forehead
The bony part of the portion removed was
not detached in a single piece, but in
broken bits attached. however, by the
skin and the flesh. The doctor shaped il
into nose. The bits of bone grew togeth-
er and gave II firmness. The wound in
the forehead was attended to and the
newly made member carefully bandaged
TO the child's face.

own and the courts history during his eX-
tended service. In one part he said
1T is a pleasant thing in my memory
that my appointment came from President
Lincoln, OF whose appointees l am the last
survivor. Up to that time there had been
no representative here of the Pacific coast
A new empire had arisen in the West
whose laws were those of another coun-
try The land titles were from Spanish
and Mexican grants both of which were
often OVERLAND by the claims of the first
settlers.
ITO bring order out of this confusion
Congress Pc sscd an act providing for an
other seat on this bench, with the inton-
tion that it should be filed by some one
familiar with these conflicting titles and
with the mining laws of the coast, and
as 1t so Happened that 1 had framed the
principal of these laws and was moreover,
chief justice of California, it was the wish
of the senator's and representatives of that
state. as well as those from Oregon, that
l should succeed to the new position. At
their request Mr.. Lincoln sent my name to
the Senate and the nomination was unan-
imous,V confirmed"

THAT BOND ORDINANCE.
1t Was Reported Favorably from
Committee and Passed on First
and Second Readings.

The ordinance providing for issuing
$4,000 worth of bonds for the improve
ment of Nay Aug park was reported
favorably from committee at last
nights meeting of select council and
subsequently passed on first and sec
Ond readings.
When the finance committee was
reached under the head of reports from
committees, Chairman r. C. Melvin
reported the ordinance and some time
later in the meeting 1t was called up
on first reading and passed. Council
man O'Boyle. of the Eighteenth ward
then moved to postpone action until
the next meeting. The motion was Sec
cnded by II. r. Fellows.
What is the object of postponing
action?" asked Mr.. Sanderson. EVERY
body is familiar with the provisions of
this ordinance l believe"
Il think the members of council
ought to have an opportunity of eX-
aiming this ordinance to see if it is
all right" replied Mr.. O'Boyle. This
is an important measure you know"
Councilman Wagner made a vigor-
Gus protest against unnecessary post
ponement Of action and the ordinance
passed on second reading, only TWO
votes. those of Thomas OBoyle and
II. r. Fellows being cast against it.
There is some question as to wheth-
er or not the increasing amount of the
City's indebtedness which it has made
no provision to pay will prevent this
issue of bonds. Some students of city
finances say the claims against the
city are sufficient to wipe out the
margin of $4,000 in the cty's indebt-
edness before reaching the , per cent.
limit against which the proposed bonds
are to be charged.
The warm friends of the measure say
they do not fear such an obstacle.
There is abundant margin they claim
for a $4,000 bond issue. In the event
of the ordinance becoming a law, and
it's prospects are now very bright, only
$4,000 of the bonds will be sold this
year and the interest on the remaining
500, Oo0 until such time as the bonds
are actually needed, will be saved. 1t
| is thought that $4,000 will more than
| pay for all the improvements it will
| be possible to make at Nay Aug park
| this year.

FINN WILL HAVE TO vAcATE.
Council Gives Him a Dose of His
Own Medicine.

The recent opposition on the part
of City Treasurer Il. ]. Robinson to
allowing Poor Tax Collector Farr to
have desk room in his office is gener-
ally charged up to Wade Finn by the
members of council Mr. Finn has
been poor tax collector for a number OF
years and was a candidate for re-
election. Mr.. Farr was chosen as his
successor.
When the public buildings commit
tee of council presented its report last
night concerning the adjustment of
the trouble the report was in the shape
Of n resolution which provides that the
present poor tax collector shall have
quarters in the city treasurer's office,
but that no one aside from the city
treasurer and the above mentioned
collector shall be permitted to do bus
mess in that office.
As it will be several months before

ed his collections and other work in

cnce If compelled to leave the treas

A REVOLUTION IN DENTISTRY
DR.. Snyder's Wonderful Invention

seamless gold crown stamped out
by hydraulic press, is a new and
most successful invention by Dr. Sny-
der, the we'll known local dentist.
With the aid of this new process, the
doctor is able to do the most perfect
fitting gold and combination porcelain
crown and bridge work ever produced.
Absolute perfection is acquired by his
method.
An impression is first taken from
the teeth, from which metal casts are
made Heavy sheet gold is then
forced around the casts by the use Of
a hydraulic press, this producing the
exact shape desired to the tiniest in
dantatiOn.
This invention is far beyond the ex-
perimental stage, being an unqualified
success, and the doctor can point with
pride to many Scrantonians who are
enjoying the comfort given by perfect
crown work, put in by his new method.
