Norton is quite too aggressive and
vigorous a soubrette to handle such a
part with high skill. But the effort she
made was creditable, and that as the
star of the company she subordinated
herself for the occasion, proves the
amiability of the actress and her reali-
cation of the demands of the art of the
play. Miss Maitland's Mrs. Cross was
an excellent assumption, coming nearer
probably to the ideal of the author

Man With a Calls Brain.

About three months ago at Harmon,
W. Va, Jay Lentz, foreman in the
mines of the Great Western Company,
was caught under fall of slate in the
mines.
His skull was crushed, and Dr. E. c.
Hartman and two other surgeons gave
him up to die. A piece of his brain
was broken away from the main body
of the brain structure, and the skull
covering it was broken away.
After few days the doctors decided
to take heroic measures. The shat
tered brain was cut away neatly ard
dressed. A healthy yearling calf was
tied down, her skull cut away, and a
lobe of brain removed and fitted into
the cavity in Lentz's head. The wound
was dressed and trephined, and the re-
suits awaited. The calfs head was
fixed up with half brain in it.
Both the miner and the calf have pro-
crossed satisfactorily, and the man is
nearly as well as before the operation,
though his mental vigor is not entirely
restored. The calf stands as though
asleep till started, when 1t moves. TIL

EX-SENATOR EDMUNDS' OPINION.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Former Sena-
tor Edmunds, discussing the constitu-
tional rights of Brigham H. Roberts OF
Utah, in a statement TO the Herald"
said:
1.-The Constitution fixes and describes
the qualifications necessary for a mem
Der of the House Of Representatives. l
think the House has no constitutional
rights to adopt others, either affirma-
lively or negatively, and, therefore, l
think that if Mr.. Roberts was regu-
larly elected, was of the requisite age,
resided in the State Of Utah and is
willing to take the oath prescribed by
the Constitution, the House has no
right to refuse to allow him to be sworn
IN.
1T is more dangerous to the rights
and liberties of the people for the House
to set up standards of admission not
prescribed by the Constitution than to
admit to be sworn any person whom
the people of a State choose to elect.
That done, the Constitution has itself
provided for the House Kidding itself of
any member who, upon it's own con-
science, it believes for any reason ought
