CHLOROFORM AND MANNERS.
It's Well to Have Few Present When Under
the Drug.

Its Well TO Have Few Present When Under
the Drug.
Hardly any two people are alike
when it comes to taking chloroform, .
said an old surgeon the other day.
Some fight like lunatics and some
drift off to sleep as placidly as babies:
some will babble necessarily all
through an operation and some will
remain silent, but grit their teeth and
clench their hands exactly as if they
were conscious of pain. There is no
way to tell in advance what is going
to happen, and that reminds me of a
curious story.
"a good many years ago l was called
upon to perform an operation on a
planter who lived some little distance
up the river and who had crushed mis-
foot in a cane grinder. The country
doctor who attended him sent for me to
come up to do the surgical work, and /
decided to take off the three last toes.
| had never met my patient before, and
found him a grave, middle aged man,
with strikingly handsome face and
refined manners. His wife, who was
very much younger, seemed 70 be deep
ly in love with him, and begged piteous-
ly to be allowed to remain in the room
during the operation, but the planter
refused to consent, and made me pledge
my word of honor that she would ne
kept out. Not only that, but he in
sisted upon her leaving the house and
going to a neighbours.
LAS soon as he took the first few
inhalations of chloroform J was sin
cerely glad she was absent, for he be-
came Immediately delirlou2 and strug-
gled furiously. Thea, to my intense
surprise, he poured ont torrent Of
hideous profanity. / never listened to
anything more brutal and shocking,
and he kept it UP all the lime piled
the knife. After the operation was
over and he regained his senses he
was as quiet and courss.v a. ever. Later
on learned that he had been rough
river man in his youth and had OBJ
tanned his education. made his fortune
and married late in life 1t was his
constant study to overcome his early
deficiencies Whether he had any pre-
monition when he sent his wife away |
can't say, but it was wise thing to do,
and gave me personally valuable
suggestion"

M'KINLEY'S TRIP.
Yesterdays Journey Produced Few and
Unimportant Incidents.

Yesterdays Journey Produced Few and
Unimportant Incidents.
PITTSBURG, Pa, October 5.-Pres-
ident McKinley's special train passed
through Pittsburg to-day on the Penn
sylvania railroad.
While the special was standing in the
yards at the Union station, Senator
Marcus A. Hanna and ex-Secretary OF
War Russell A. Alger were in a Pull
man car on the Western Express, which
was being held few minutes to allow
the Presidents train to pass. Senator
Hanna paid his respects to the Presi-
dent, but General Alger was sleeping
and did not leave his berth for some
time after the Presidents train had left
for the west.
ALLIANCE, Ohio, October 5.-The Penn
sylvania special bearing the Presidential
party westward arrived at 10:45 a. M, hav-
ing made the run from Pittsburg without
stopping.
CANTON, Ohio, October 5.-President
and neighbors as the train passed through
the towns of Alliance and Canton were
especially warm.
The Presidents niece. Miss Mary Bar
Der, boarded the train at Canton, to ac-
company the President and Mrs McKin-
ley throughout their long journey.
DEFIANCE, Ohio, October 5.-As the
Presidential train went further westward
through the State of Ohio, the crowds al
the stations grew larger. At Chicago June
tion, a great number of school children
were collected at the depot waving flags
and cheering for the President. At every
station the crowd loudly clamored for a
speech, but the President skillfully evaded
these requests by bringing forward and
introducing successfully the members OF
the cabinet each of whom was invariably
greeted with much applause
LAFAYETTE, Ind, October 5.-Althougl
the Presidential train crossed the Indiana
line after dark tonight and despite the
fact that word had been telegraphed ahead
to the effect that no stop of any consider
able length would be made, yet large
crowds had assembled at Fort Wayne, Pc
ru, Logansport and Lafayette.

A GOOD PLACE TO STOP.

It was in a high school class room
where a modern foreign language Is
taught. One OF the boys was wrestling
with a translation from reading book,
which happened to be a famous ro-
nance.
"Three times tried-to-put-my
arms-around- her-neck, slowly trans
lated the lad.
Then he paused, looked up at the
teacher, and added:
That's as far as got"
1T seems to me that's far enough, Z

presided over the Supreme Court to-day. his
first appearance since his return from Europe.
His associate on the Venezuela Arbitration
Com mission. Justice Brewer. has been con-
fined to las bed since reaching home last week.
and was absent to-day.
Under tho arrangement made last week
argument was heard on the petition Of the At
torney General OF Louisiana for permission to
file a bill OF Injunction against the Governor
and Health Ofrlcer Of Texas. with q view to
breaking up the present quarantine against
New Orleans on account OF yellow fever. Chief
Justice Fuller inquired how the matter came
up. and on being informed suggested that
argument which went to the jurisdiction of the
court he postponed until the issues were

Justice Gray inquired II there were any
presidents for any court to hear argument as
to jurisdiction upon mere petition for per-

tar, stanton and Gems. Grant and pons in

With this the court made no further obJec-
tion and the argument proceeded.
