SAW HER OWN LEG CUT OFF.
Woman SO Years Old Undergoes surgi-
cal Operation by New Method.

cal Operation by New Method.
Chicago, Feb. 21.-Mrs. Mary Arndt,
in spite Of her 53 years, watched sur
geon at the county hospital today am
putate her right leg near the hip with
out giving any evidence of pain. The
operation proved successful. The
method by which the operation was
performed was of great interest to the
surgeons, and is said in professional
circles to be great step in surgery in
America. DIR. Samuel Weber, mem
Der of the advisory staff of the hospital,
had charge of the operation, which is
said to be the first OF its nature per-
formed in America, and the second
known to medical men, the first having
being been per erformed in Europe. DR..
Weber made study of the initial
operation, and concluded the method
might be employed for the amputation
of lower limbs OF patients who were
unable to Withstand the effects of
anaesthetics.
The method consists in the deaden-
ing of the nerves in the limbs by the
injection of cocaine in the vertebral
cavity above the point where the nerves
controlling the lower limbs branch
from the spinal chord.
The patient had suffered gangrenous
affection of the leg, and amputation
became necessary to save her life. She
was not in condition to make the use
of an anaesthetic safe, and the surgeon
decided to try the method which had
proved successful in Berlin hospital.
The drug was injected into the patients
vertebral cavity short distance below
the waist line, and soon she announced
that she had lost all feeling in her
lower limbs, while she was fully con-
scious of what was going on and had
the full use OF all her faculties.
The limb was removed two inches
below the hip, and after the effect of
the drug had passed away the woman
said she felt we'll. The prospects for
her recovery are good.

Chicago, Feb. 49,. Eight persons
were injured, one fatally, in four fires
that occurred late last night and early
this morning in the residence portion
of the city. In all about 35 lives were
imperiled by the fires, and there were
heroic deeds of rescue by the fremen.
NJ. w. Littlefield, Mrs. M. w. Little
field, Curtis Jameson and Frank
Hampden were overcome by smoke end
rescued by firemen. The two small
children of Mrs. II. Il. Bump, sleeping
on the first floor, were also overcome
by smoke and rescued by their mother
at the peril of her life.
The total loss will not amount to
$50, 900. Most OF the fires were caused
by overheated furnaces.

Austin, Tex, Feb. ia dispatch
from Manzanillo, Mexico, says that
the Mexican gunboat Oaxaca has ar
rived there from the mouth of the
Guaymas river with 600 Yaqul Indian
prisoners on board They were cap
tured in the battle fought about three
weeks ago near Mazocoba. The pris-
oners will be taken to Guadalajara, and
there distributed to the various interior
cities. They will not be confined in
prisons, but will be kept under surveil-
ance for few years, until they have
become educated in the habits of the
Mexican people when they will be
allowed to return to their tribe and inn
part their newly acquired knowledge
to their fellow tribesmen.
When the Oxaca left the Yaqui river
the government troops were making
good progress toward subduing the
rebels. General Torres had divided
his command, and the two armies were
to advance into the Yaqui country from
two different points. No official con-
frmation is obtainable as to the gov
ernment's loss in the recent battles.
but it is reported that there were over
400 killed and wounded. 1t lis claimed
that the Yaquis left 900 killed, about
800 wounded and 600 captured.

United States for the census year 1900

1t is evident from an analysis of the
comparative figures L have given. that
Notwithstanding drawbacks the progress
of American manufacturers has been
much more satisfactory than thai made
by either of our principal competitors.
A student of our Industrial history is
constantly impressed with the remark
able changes which are taking place
in the character as well as the extent
of our manufactured products.
American manufacturers have not only
retained their hold on the home market,
but they have successfully invaded for
eign markets, and secured a constantly
increasing proportion of International
trade, as is clearly shown by the re-
arkab growth of our manufactured
exports.
1t is the character of International
trade and not it's extent that determines
the measure of benefit to a country.
Under modern conditions. manufactures
are not only necessary for successful
industrial organization but they also
furnish the most satisfactory basis for
profitable foreign trade. This latter
fact is established by the experience of
Great Britain for half a century. The
remarkably successful efforts of Ger
many to extend her foreign trade
through the protection and consequent
prosperity Of her manufactures. furnish
another striking Illustration of the ac-
curacy of the statement.
The foreign trade most desirable for
the United States to promote is that
which provides for the exchange Of her
manufactured or partially manufactured
products. those requiring the greatest
amount of skill and labor in production.

which, from climatic or other causes,

smaller than any of the others under
consideration, doubtless win to the
unusual depression in cotton manufac-
turing which continued during a consid-
cradle portion of the last ten years. The
consumption of cotton. however. IN
creased $50 per cent in the United States,
while the increase III Great Britain was
Q per cent. These figures show very
plainly the marked increase which has
recently taken place in the productive
capacity of American cotton machinery.
Our imports of raw silk increased 52.9
per cent during the period named, While
those of Great Britain increased 15.S
per cent and those of Germany 1913 per
cent.
The increase in the general business
of the United States is shown to by the
increase in the transactions of the New
York clearing house of 52.3 per cent, of
deposits in national banks of $50. and
of deposits in savings banks of 46.2 per
cent.
We can assume hat the lumber of
persons employed in our manufacturing
establishments increased proportionate-
ly with the increase of production.
Another indication of relative indus
trial growth is furnished by the fact
that the domestic exports of the United
States increased 42.4 per cent during the
last ten years, while those Of England
increased lis per cent and those of
Germany 1873 per cent. During the IA
years ending 1899 the value Of the do
nestle exports of Great Britain increas-
ed SO millions of dollars, those of Ger
many 212 millions. those of the United

Tbs figures l have given, taken to-
gether, show a probable increase in the
manufactured product Of the United
States from 1890 to 1899 of from 40 to so
per cent. Taking into account the de-
cline in prices which has taken place. 1t
is safe to assume that the total value

time a matter of mere numbers. Even
when the mob is in power the average
man on the outside counts for more than
the average man on the inside, except
as the latter is more capable of being
weldel into the mass through some
strong leader. AS Carlyle says: TT is
the knowing ones who rule" That is
the long fact. The essential thing is to
see that it Is not the merely cunning
crafty ones who rule. This can be pre-
vented by making public opinion more
worthy of itself, by allowing nothing to
be withdrawn or withheld, which be-
longs to it.
a The three sufficient factors in public
opinion are intelligence, sympathy and
courage. The proportion in Which these
are needed depends of course upon the
subject on which opinion is to be exer-
cised, but it is seldom if ever that any
one can be left out-intelligence to dis
Germ and measure the question at issue.
sympathy to interpret and represent the
interests of those concerned in it, and
courage to uphold the idea or principle
which may be involved. Never commit
the error of supposing that courage Is
pourished and grows strong on anything
lower than an idea or principle. Men do
not fight for things until they idealize
them. They relate them to right, justice
and freedom, and they do battle for
them. Hampden did not fight against
the royal tax, he fought for liberty.
I do not know at what point educated
men are most likely to fail in their con-
tribution to public opinion, but l doubt
not that some of them fail at the point
of intelligence. A great scholar may be
grossly ignorant of current affairs, or
his opinion may be so immature as to be

fectionate nature of the much educated
girl is even more subtle.
The friends who observe it think of it
as temporary and attribute it to her
absorption in her work. They are in a
measure right but they do not dream
that she is drying up the brain cells
which supply emotional thought. and
incapacitating herself from ever enter

The natural, normal minded girl is
full of latent romance, and bidder deep
in her heart, like the perfume in a rose,
lies her ardent dream of love.
She never mentions it, perhaps. yet you
have only to look in her eyes and you
see it slumbering there. 1t is her chief
charm-the fragrance of the flower of

To the highly. educated girl such
dreams become mawkish,, sentimental

In the distribution of personal power
allowance must be made for some kind
of personal Identification with those
things Which are Of recognized value IN
society. l use the term identification
because it is at once broad and decisive.
1t does not prescribe definite method or

A young man is apt to make two mis-

thing can become an institution it must
have attained to great dimensions. reach
ing, as Milton says Of the state, into "tha
stature of an honest man." Institutions
may fail in some present emergency but
they stand for the best which men have
thought or done OR suffered. They are
rich in the wealth of humanity. They
are as generous as they are wealthy.
The man who fails to honor, to reverence
institutions, fails because he lacks the
historic sense, imagination and insight.
"A second mistake is in underestimate
ing the need of support on the part of in
institutions. AS they We're built up by
