OPERATION ON LOLITA ARMOUR.
Packers GRANDDAUGHTER Treated for
DisIOcatiOn of the Hip Joints.

The Chicago Times-Herald says: A sue
cessful operation was performed last sun
day morning on little Lolita Armour, the
four-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
Ogden Armour and the granddaughter of
the packer to cure her of two dislocated
hip Joints. DR.. John Ridlon, head profess
sor of orthopedy of the Norwestern Uni
versity Medical School, with corps of as
ssting surgeons, did the work by what is
known as the Lorenz bloodless method
owing to the youth of the patient. skio-
graphs showed imperfectly the condition
of the sockets of the joints, but it was sur
missed that these were too shallow for the
ball at the top of each femur. To effect a
cure the legs Of the girl were drawn down
into normal position and set by means of a
plaster cast. The physicians think that in
the end she Will have perfect use of heI
limbs

But are not these fair objects Of hope In

Submarine navigation has in the present
aspect Of things only one practical applica-
tion, that Of naval warfare. The Fulton,
for instance, provided with store Of tor

especially at the demonstration of this quail
fly Of avoiding danger. The offensive ca
pacities Of the craft have already been am

sumably follow, to prove the lasting quail

criticism Of British operations in South

audacity of the attacks, and cited the per-
formances OF Germany. Russia and France
in some OF their wars. He took the ground
IN his blunt. businesslike fashion that the

counted legitimate subject of reproach
by the pot Russia and Frauce-a pair of
seasoned chaps-have not seemed to mind.

thority for asserting that Germany has
ever conducted war IN other than the high

that the German soldier Is not as brave
and humane specimen of the craft as

What, indeed! Why. his authority is

It was only a few months ago that the

Bryanites Fighting Hill.

earthed to send a David B. Hill delegation

tional convention, a newspaper In that
state. described as being very close to MT.
Bryan" makes this assertion:
"Our state may instruct for an eastern
democrat of the Richard Olney kind, but
he will be some man who has been and is
Mr.. Bryans friend, and not his personal
and political enemy. Mr.. Bryan Will not De
a candidate but his friends will see to II
that his home state shall not spit In his
face by sending to the state convention
delegation pledged to support man VINO
was a traitor to the ticket when his friend
ship was most needed. The democratic
nominee in 1904 must be democrat. David
B. Hill is not democrat
Why should the Bryanites condemn Mr..
Hill and exalt Mr.. Olney? What is the
record of the two men toward Mr.. Bryan
which justifes that action?
Last year MIR. Hill exerted himself to the
utmost in Mr.. Bryan's behalf. He went so
far indeed as to try to save Mr.. Bryan
from himself. Convinced that the reaffirma-
tion of the Chicago platform would injure
MIR. Bryan's candidacy, Mr.. Hill pushed on
from Kansas City, where he had gone as a
delegate to Lincoln and conferred with Mr.
Bryan on the subject. He was received
cordially, and he stated his case with
friendly earnestness. He failed in his mis-
sion. Mr.. Bryan remained firm in his pur-
pose and although Mr.. HILL still in friend
ly fashion, renewed his efforts at the con-
vention, the Chicago platform was reaf-
frmed- Mr. Hill took his medicine, and
took the stump for the ticket. He could do
no more. No power ON earth could have
elected Mr.. Bryan He was doomed to de-
feat from the hour he decided to talk cheap
money and calamity to a nation enjoying
the fattest years in it's whole history.
Now what was Mr.. Olney doing all this
time? Practicing law with great success
In the good city of Boston. Although as
much opposed as Mr.. Hill to the free
coinage Of silver. and as we'll convinced
that the democratic party ought not to
commit itself the second time to that is
sue. he did nothing whatever to prevent the
blunder. While New York, under Mr..
Hills leadership. was trying to save the
day at the national convention, Massachu-
setts, under the leadership of George Fred
Williams, was whooping it up for the Chi
cago platform as Justify as either Texas or
Nebraska Mr. Olney was not only not on
the ground, but the influence of his state
was being exerted by a man for whose
political judgment he entertained no respect
whatever. And what more likely than if
there had been fewer men of the Williams
stripe at Kansas City opposing Mr.. Hill
and more Of the Olney stripe supporting
him. better platform would have been
adopted?
ihsais disposition of the Bryanites to pun
Ism Mr.. Hill for his candor and farsighted-
ness is lacking in manliness and common
sense And to declare that he is not g.
democrat and that Mr.. Olney is, when, as
everybody knows. the two men are in sub
stantial agreement on all the national is
Sues is to insult the common intelligence.

For fully a decade popular prejudice
against the game Of foot ball has been
growing In consequence of deaths and dis
ablements due to the brutality of players.
The death roll of the sport has continued,
until the present season, to increase from
year to year, while an unknown number of
dislocations and other serious injuries has
been accumulated, some reporteds others
concealed by the promoters of the sport.
In consequence a demand for the modiica-
tfon of the rules of the game to prevent
or at least to minimize the risk Of individ-
uals has become insfstent. Parents
throughout the country have refused to
allow their sons to play on the college and
university teams. Faculties have preached
against the tendency toward brutality
which the game fostered. Newspapers
have done good work in keeping up the
agitation for reform.
Team managers have necessarily felt
this pressure and in some degree have un-
doubtedly responded to 1t. This years
death list is comparatively short and there
have been relatively few serious injuries,
although the game has been played as
frequently as usual at the various insu-
tutions of learning. Saturday the season
practically closed with the Yale-Harvard

however, lost several men, one of them be-
ing knocked unconscious for some minutes.
Did Harvard go through the game with
out hurt because that team overpowered
Yale at every point, or was Yale consider
ate in tackling and holding and bucking so
that no Harvard man should be injured
In other words, did Yale lose because that
side played gentler game, and conversely.
did Harvard win because of it's rougher
game? B..
If victory is to be bought with the price
of the serious hurting of half dozen Of
the other side, has the game gained or
lost in popular prestige? Parents who taboo
foot ball now might be willing to let their
sons play only on winning teams If Satur-
days game is a sure test of the present
tendency. But 1t is rather hard to pick
winners, as that game proved The safest
way will be for the lads whose physical
welfare is of serious moment to- their
elders to be kept off the field entirely until
its promoters can give satisfactory assur-
ance that the sport is at last brought back
to its original purpose, that of affordfng a
wholesome outlet for the super-abundant
energy of growing youth and means of
training the muscles, nerves and judg-
ment in emergencies. -.-..--

Quoted under the auspices Of the Treasury
Department, proved its efficiency once more
Saturday night while the gale was raging
upon the Jersey coast. Many men were
rescued from the sea while the storm was
at its height. In one case a peculiar con-
dition delayed the rescue Of the crew of a
large craft. When the distress signals were
displayed and the life-savers got to work a
line was fired over the wreck at the first
shot. But the men on board could not see
it for the darkness and the binding lashing
of the sea. Four lines were sent over be-
fore the connection with the shore was
completed. This experience seems to teach
the value of some form of phosphorescent
line which shall be visible at all hours and
under all circumstances.
