NEW APPEAL FOR CLEMENCY.
Ambassador Ch0ate Instructed to Take
Up Mrs. Maybrick's Case.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Renewed
efforts in the interest of Mrs Florence
Maybrick will be made by Ambassa-
dor ChOate in accordance with in
structiOns given by Secretary Hay.
The making OF these represen-
tations has become a routine duty
for the Ambassador Of the United
States in Great Britain. When Sec
rotary Hay was in London he took
advantage OF every opportunity to
bring Mrs. Mavbrick's case to the at
tention of the Home Secretary, but
his efforts to secure her pardon were
unavailng.
The reorganization of the English
cabinet gives Secretary Hay another
opportunity to bring the Maybrick
case again to the attention of the
Home Secretary. Additional evil
dence showing that Mr.. Maybrick
was addicted to the Use OF arsenic
and died from excessive consumption
of the drug has been presented to the
British authorities
1t is the understanding OF the State
Department that the new Secretary
is inclined toward compliance with
the wishes of this Government in
Mrs May brick 5 case, but there have
been no important changes in the
under officials, and they will prob
ably oppose the new efforts to bring
her release as strongly as they have
done in the past.

Zemansky believed that his candi-

throw the race. To prevent this,
Zemansky took out his revolver and
fired a couple of shots at the sprin-

Convert Burns His Library.

Marshall o. Waggoner of Toledo, Ohio, the infidel, whose conversion to Christianity was recently announced, has burned his magnificent library, consisting of writings of infidels. The ashes of the books are in the bottom of the furnace of the Memorial United Brethren church of Toledo, to which he privately consigned them. He threatened to destroy this collection some time ago, but delayed doing so until the night of Jan. 8. With su- preme satisfaction and a feeling that he was doing Gods will, the aged law yer watched his precious volumes with CT and crllmble into ashes in the fur mace heat. Many of the volumes were exceedingly rare. There were a large number of manuscripts and first prints not to be found in any other library in America.

A Remarkable Tribute of Respect.


 Mrs. Julia Ward Howe received a remarkable tribute of respect few days ago at gathering of Unitarian women in All Souls church, New York. Mrs. Howe, 80 years old, but still in her prime in wit and charm, grew tired before her speech was finished, and was unable to pitch her voice so that the women in the rear could hear. Gan Mrs. Howe raise her yoice?" came call from the back. No" re- piled Mrs. Howe, frankly. T saiG yes terday I should not kill myself, even for this august body. You can't ex- pect an old lady of 80 to explode in one gigantic effort There was ripple of laughter at this, and then the women ;n the back seats rose, making their way toward the front, where seats and platform were already crowded. They deliberately sat down on the floor where they stayed throughout Mrs. Howe's address. Gray haired women mingled with young girls in this humble position. Mrs. Howe's ad- dress was on "The Progress of the Century in Manuers." There was a general call for Mrs. Howe to recite '.The Battle Hymn of the Republic" which she did amid great applause.

EGG MEME NE
Esed as Substitute For Skin Grating
 For Surface Wounds


 New York Special Chicago Tribune: Medical science has discovered that the hens egg provides an admirable substitute fir human flesh to graft on human open wounds. The substitute is the delicate membrane that imme- diately lines the Inside of hens egg. The German surgeons first found that this membrane can be successfully used as the nucleus for granulation of open wounds. The surgeons of ths Seney Hospital in Brooklyn were the first in this country to adopt and prac- tice the Germans discovery. Conse- quently Edgar A. Garbut will leave the Seney Hospital, Brooklyn, and again take charge of his laundry. Garbut, 36 years old now, fell from his bicycle two years ago and so seve rely injured himself that as the disease of the bones advanced it was necessary to remove the bones of his left arm, bis shoulder blade, and the left end of his collar bone While Garbut rallied, the sur- geons soon saw that the wounds left by the operations would not heal on the surface. Garbut's wife, his nephew and young man in his employ Of fered of their cuticle to graft on Gar butts wounds. But on December 10 the last one of the surgeons in the seney Hospital remembered that the German surgeons say that the hens egg pro- vides a substitute for human cuticle Tn such cases. So the Seney Hospital surgeons procured some fresh eggs and from them took the membrane that lines the shells, and pieces of mem- brane were planted on Garbuts wounds. Soon new skin was formed. The egg membrane did not form any part of the new membrane skin, but simply was starter" for 1t.
