CARRIE BRIDEWELL
 IN NOBLE CONCERT Assisted by Mrs. Sinnige-A
 Great Success SOME MARVELLOUS MUSIC Jefferson Theatre Crowded With Glad Listeners Who Greeted Matchless
 Genius Rapturously = The
 Cause of Charity

The Bridewell concert at the Jefferson last night for the benefit of St. Vincent's Hospital was a marked success, artisticaly and financially. The audience was not only large, completely filling the great theatre, but 1t included many cultivated musicians, and was, if anything, more discriminating than sual-discriminating even for Birm- ingham.
 Miss Carrie Bridewell was in splendid voice, and in each number assigned to her she achieved a grand triumph, more than sustaining her high reputation. She sang I'm Herbst" by Franz, slumber song by Mattel, "A Mon Fils," from the Pbrophet, At Parting by Rogers, and May Morn- ing' by Denza. And for encores she sang "supposing" by Bischoff, lovely cradle song and other charming and fa- miliar gems.
 Miss Brdewell was assisted in the con- cert by Mrs. H. H. sinnige, who sang sev- eral brilliant pieces; Miss Marks, the vio- linist; Mir Grambs, the chief accom- panist, and Miss Cline, the accompanist for Miss Marks.
 It was Mrs Sinnige's first appearance in public since her return from Europe. AL ways @ delightful vocalist, she rose to the highest plane last night. Her voice seemed fresher and richer than ever, and her vocal ization was certainly artistic. The truth Is, she surprised herself, and she was raptur- ousy applauded.
 Miss Marks, the violinist, played several classic pieces. and for encores popular pieces. She made fine impression. Her lowing was clear, her tone was large and her technic was thoroughly good. She proved herself to be indeed an artist of more than ordinary ability.
 MT. Grambs, in his plano work, was high ly satisfactory He filled the bill as an &C., companist and that is saying much, for good accompanists are rare.
 St. Vincent's Hospital will receive con- siderable share from last nights concert.

eration itself, said that three years ago he had treated the patient for calculus and removed a deposit an inch and a half in diameter. Another deposit of about the same size had formed he said, and, owing to other complications, he deemed it best to use the knife.
 Dr. Simon Marx of No. 947 Madison aven- ue a pioneer in the use of the new method of producing anaesthesia, was present to perform that portion of the operation Tho patient was brought into the operating room shortly after 8 o'clock The lower part of his back was barred and local anaesl thesia produced there by freezing the skin with spray.
 Dr. Marx then took the long needle of a hypodermic syringe and pushed 1t in slant insly between the fourth and fifth umbar Vertebrae. The patient was sitting and leaning far forward, his head and shoult ders supported in the Arms of an attends ant.
 Now touch the bone," said Dr. Marx. Now l follow the bone along toward the joint. Presently the needle will slip in, meeting with no opposition. Then it wilt be in the spinal cavity. But to make surs ] use the needle, separated from the syr4 inge. When the point has fairly entered the spinal cavity then the colorless spinal fluid will run out of 1t. That Is the only way to be sure that you have reached the right spot. Let the fluid run. - do no harm to the patient"
 As Dr. Marx spoke his skilled fingers pressed the needle forward. When it en9 tered the spinal cavity the patient gave a slight moan. but admitted afterward that the pain was not great
 Then the syringe was screwed to the needle and one grain of cocaine was inc jected. Dr. Marx said he had once given up cocaine, but was trying it again.
 About five minutes was consumed in mak- ing the injection. The patient was then prepared for the operation. It was twenty minutes before anaesthesia was produced by the eucaine, and the surgeons began their work. The operation was long and tedious, and at the end of an hour the pa- tient showed signs of recovering conscious ness to pain.
 pr. Marx then inserted the needle sec- ond time, using cocaine. In two minutes and a half the patient was completely un4 der Its influence and from that time until the end of the operation evinced no sign of suffering. The surgeons were well satisfied with the results of the operation. Dr. Marx said afterward that he should use cocaine in future operations.
 Dr. Marx told the physicians present that he had treated about fifty cases, and had never failed to get good anaesthetic results when the spinal cavity was properly en- tered and the agent was injected above the spinal cord. The treatment, he said, had been found particularly valuable in ma- ternity cases, and he was using it in all such cases in his hospital work.
 Unlike the use of chloroform and ether, the new treatment seems to be without danger and the recovery from it is rapid and without the distressing features of the older method.

 by the offers ot Democratic doctrine, but those who speculate in the wealth of some one else will not be.
 '"rhe common people only ask the right to labor and enjoy the fruits oI their toll. Your chairman speaks of your love for your native land. If you did not love your native land you would not be fit to be citizens. A man who does not love his na- tiye land is of no use to any community whether of his birth or adoption"
 Ar. Bryan talked for twenty minutes and then drove through cheering crowds to Cooper Union.
 At tCuoper Union
 Cooper Union was crowded to the doors with Germans who had come there to hear MT Bryan address them under the auspices of the German League of the National As sociation of Democratic Clubs.
 Anti-imperialism was the strongest note sounded both in the speech of MT. Bryan and in those of other speakers.
 MT. Bryan's appearance in the hall was the signal of an outburst of most un- bounded enthusiasm. This was worked to a point where it became contagious, and every person in the large audience jumped to his feet and waved the American flag which he found in his seat. The band played '"rhe Star-Spangled Banner" but at first this could not be heard for the trtInenQOuS cheering.
 He was profusey greeted on the plat form. He returned their greetings in the most cordial manner As he faced the au- dience he looked smilingly happy and con- fdent He spoke as follows:
 i''If the Republicans tell you that the Germans left the Democratic party to save the gold standard, I reply that they have come back to save the Declaration of In- dependence I have made no attempt to conceal my views on the money question Iiwould be unworthy of your confidence, would be unworthy of your support for any office, if my opinions should be changed to suit an occasion or win vote. II I would surrender my convictions on the money question in order to be President might surrender my convictions on the trust question, on the army question and on imperialism If I got to be President But, my friends, while my views are known on the money question, believe that ques- tons of government are more important than the question of money. I believe it is more important that we shall have a Re- public than that we shall have particular kind of money standard"
 Referring to the question of colonial ac- quisition MT. Bryan said he was glad that the Democratic party had been prompt to take its position against imperialism.
 When I first had occasion to speak on the subject" he said, II had not had time to consult other members of the party. But did not believe that any party that had the principles which the Democratic party had, could endorse an imperial policy, and thought that there was no

Ensley October 27-(special) )-Dr. R. M. Cunningham was seen at his private hos pital today and asked whether or not he was going to make any speeches in the Fifth Congressional District.
 No, nor in any other district" he replied. "I am busy, as you see; up to my ears in my professional work. do not believe that any Democratic candidate for Congress or Presidential elector in Alabama will be defeated. MT. Thompson is certainly the regular nominee of his party, and should have the enthusiastic and loyal support of Democrats everywhere and of those who are not Democrats who do not endorse the Republican administration or principles and policies. 1 have respectfully declined all invitations to make political speeches"
 Quite surprise was sprung during the forenoon today when it was made known that Dr. w. T. Tendon and Miss Ethel Woods were quietly married about 10 o'clock yesterday morning by Rev. J. w. Orr, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of this place. Only one or two of their most intimate friends knew of the happy event, il being kept profound secret.

No Navajo Indian will ever make a
campfire of wood from tree that was
struck by lightning or that might have
been. II such a fire is made by an IT.
reyerent white man, the Indians will
retire TO a distance, where they cannot
feel the heat or smell the smoke, and
they will go to sleep In their blankets,
fireless and supperless, rather than eat
of food prepared on that kind of fire.
The Navajo believes that If he comes
within the influence of the fame he
will absorb some of the essence Of the
lightning which will thereafter be at
tracted to him and sooner or later will
kill him. Up in the mountains more
than half the great pines are Scared
by lightning. but no wood from them is
used Almost any old Navajo can mar
rate instances where the neglect OF
this precaution has resulted disastrous
ly, for men are sometimes killed by
lightning in n region where thunder
storms are frequent, and 1t is but a
step from the effect to the cause.
