Great Work In Surgery.

CHICAGO Feb. 19.-Mrs. Mary Arndt, in spite of
her SO years. watched a surgeon at the county hos
pia yesterday amputate her right leg near the hip
without giving any evidence OF pain. The opera
tion proved successful. The method by which the
operation was performed was of great interest to
surgeons 1t consists in the deadening 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 of anasthetic safe. and the surgeons de-
cded to try the method which had proved success
full in a Berlin hospital.
The drug was injected into the patients yertebral
cavity, short distance below the waist line, and
she announced that she had lost all feeling in
her lower limbs. while she was fully conscious of
what 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 WELL The prospects for
her recovery are good

YORK, Pa, February 2O.-The city cleo
ton passed off very quietly here Today. There
was considerable cutting in the Sixth and
Fifth wards, beth Republican, and the Re-
publican councimen and school controllers
were turned down. The Quay faction is
charged with treachery. The City Council
will stand as last year, the Democrats con-
trolling both branches. They will have three
majority in Common Council, and one ma
jority in Select Council. The School Board
is now tie. The incoming districts from the
Annex will give the Democrats two majority.

plundering by the Paper Trust.

The Paper Trust is still advancing the price
of paper, and have nearly doubled it in the
past six months. The excuse given is the
shortage in the stock, owing to low water IN
the New England States and New York. The
fact is there is a government tax on wood
pulp and rags and foreign made papers, and
this protects the Trust from foreign competl-
ton and the Trust is left free to plumber pub
fishers by exacting excessive profits, and 1T is
doing it. The paper the ADVOCATE is printed
on cost three dollars week more than it did
last fall, and the next lot needed is likely to
cost more. Congress could remedy the mat
ter by repeating the tax on wood pulp, rags
and paper, but Republican Congress is not
likely to interfere with the business ofa Trust.

Miss Rooh's Long Trance Ends.

MONTREAL, Quebec. Feb. 2o.-Miss Eva Roch,
Montreals sleeping girl. whose case has puzzled
the Canadian doctors, has awakened from the
trance into which she fell on Christmas eve. Over
q year ago the young woman fell intoa trance which
continued for thirty-eight days. She was finally
restored to consciousness by the application of red
hot irons.
She continued in comparatively good health un-
til Christmas eve when she again became uncon-
scious. She recovered consciousness once but re-
lapsed after a few hours. Her case was then given
up hopeless, but two days ago she surprised her
relatives by showing signs of animation. She has
not fully recovered consciousness and is paraking
OF liquid nourishment. The doctors now say that
with care Miss Roch will recover.
Miss Roch says that during the last days OF her
trance she was aware OF what was going on about
her but had no power to express her wishes. The
case is regarded as one of the most remarkable ON

A Warning from Baltimore County

The Baltimore County Union, Republican,
in its issue of the 18th instant says:
"Again the Baltimore county Republican
powers that be have seen to it that the
county was left out in the cold when they had
an opportunity to secure at least one fairly
good Office for it. 1t had been said for some
time that the office of Deputy Surveyor of the
Port of Baltimore was being held open for Bal
timore county and two or three men were nam
ed for the place. 1t seems that the one the
bosses wanted to take the Office could not
or would not have it. What then? Why
then Judge Clabaugh steps in and secure the
plum for George E. Sharrer, of Carroll coun-
iy, and thus is Baltimore county again left
out But there is day of reckoning coming
and when it arrives somebody will be paid in
full, with interest to date. And that time is
not far distant Mr.. Sharrer had been hold
ing place under the Republican State gov
ernment and he was railroaded out of that in-
to much better job, where he is under the
protection of the civil service law. The sal
arly of the Deputy Surveyorship is $1,000 a
