President Operated Upon.

The operation upon the president lasted
almost an hour. Ether was administered.
A five inch incision was made where the
ball entered the abdomen and its course
was followed until the physicians became
satisfied that the kidney had not been
touched or the intestines perforated and
that it had lodged probably in the mus
cies of the back, where it could do no harm
for the present. The intestInes were
lifted out through the incision and care
fully examined and the utmost confidence
exists that there was no injury. The
physicians were exceedingly gratified at the
result and pronounced the operation a
complete success.
In response to request from the Asso-
GATED Press for an opinion as to the prob
able result of the presidents wounds Sur
geon General Wyman of the Marine hos
pital service said
'The fact that the president was in such
good health; that skilled surgical assist
ance was Immediately available; that the
necessary operation was not postponed, and
the fact that the percentage of recoveries
in similar cases is large all give good
ground for anticipating favorable re-
suit.
The fact that the wound was received
as late as 4:lO P. M, probably some hours
after luncheon and before dinner, the
stomach being comparatively empty, is in
his favor. 1t is difficult to find statistics
based on large number of cases with
wounds of this character, but in a general
way it may be said that recoveries aver
age about 30 per cent. With man like
President Mckinley it is safe to say that
the percentage of chances in his favor is
much greater than this Cases with nu-
merous perforations of the stomach and in
testines, accompanied by wounds of the
liver and kidneys have recovered"

HUMAN FINGER PRINTS.
There Are Possible Ora wbacks to The
Nalue in Identification.


The constancy of human finger prints
has chiefly been discussed in cOnnec-
ton with the identification of criminals.
Assuming that the evidence of finger
prints is to be admissible in criminal
proceedings, it will be not only neces-
sary to prove that in the case of the
same man the finger prints remain I'M
altered, but that no two persons have
identical finger prints. Where is the
evidence of this?
There are prOpably 1000, 100000 men
and women on the earth. Can we sup
pose that no two of these have identical
finger prints? Nor indeed is this all
We may be comparing the finger prints
of a living man with those of one who
has been dead for years past. and the
doctrine of heredity might lead us TO
expect to find similar finger prints in
the case Of parents and children and Of
different children of the same parents.
1t is, at all events. certain that if this
finger print system were once intro
duced into our courts of justice there
would he any amount of wrangling as
to whether they were identical or only
similar-eXperts cOntradicting each
other and involving the whole subject
in confusion.
Moreover, professional criminals
would probably soon find some mode Of
altering their finger prints. No doubt
if the person who committed crime
a murder, for eXample-has left the i'm
print of his fingers on anything it may
prove an important clew, but the same
thing may be said of the imprint of his
boots or shoes. But a clew is one thing
and proof is another thing.
Let me point out another difficulty. In
country where there are a large num-
Der of criminals whose finger prints are
collected, the number of these will soon
be very large. How long would it take
to examine this collection IN order to

REPORT ON TRADE.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Review of Trade
for last week says:
"A holiday reduced the volume of
legitimate business, while speculative op-
erations were seriously curtailed by the
general closing of exchanges from Fri
day afternoon to Tuesday morning. In
the movement of merchandise and in
many manufacturing lines there has
been an effort to make up the loss by
working overtime, but the weeks re-
cord will fal behind those Immediately
preceding.
actual sales of many iron and steel
products are reckoned at material ad-
vances, and the tone throughout has
been hardened by vigorous demand.
Placing of sample orders for spring
footwear of such character as to indi-
cate healthy market and some jobbers
are so anxious for early delivery that
contracts are being closed now.
Despite that activity in the market
for cotton goods, and placing of govern
ment contracts, the staple shows no
great strength.
Although unsettled in tone, little al
Iteration occurred in the principal ce-
reals. Trading was restricted and there
was an apparent declination to assume
an aggressive stand on either side of
the Atlantic.
Commercial failures during the
month of August were 500 in number
and $9,45S,S06 in amount of liabilities.
Compared with the same month last
year this statement is most unsatisfac-
tory, as failures were then only 1856 in
number and $7,323, 9O3 in amount"

The Plethoric Iicnic Pie.

That the joyous picnic season does
not bring peace and happiness to all
alike is clearly shown by composition
written on the subject by a girl in a
New York high school:
MAY parties will soon be ripe, and
the June walk season will follow hard
upon. The difference between a May
party and a June walk is a simple
matter of chronology. Each has its
queen of brief authority and its chap
erOn of absolute sway. Each has also
its hamper, which is as deadly an enc
my to the Manhattan populace as the
frying-pan to the Kansas farm hand.
| took an inventory of one of these
hampers last year, and as l was a
member of the physiology class at the
time, 1t startled me out of a sessions
growth.
when the hamper was opened the
chaperOn drew forth one bag of sand
witches and one pie; one bottle of pick
les, one pie; one sponge cake, one pie;
one roast chicken, one pie; one bottle Of
lemon juice, one pie; one bag of assert
ed cookies. one pie; one dozen dough-
nuts, one pie; one package of biscuits
and one pie This was all. except that
there were a few extra pies at the bot
tom, for the purpose, l suppose of
fOrestalling famine.
THE chaperOn wondered after lunch
con why the girls and boys didn't enter
into their play with as much zest as
they did when they first arrived at the
park. | didn't. | was studying natu-
raj history at the time, and only few

Mobile, Ala, Sept. S.-Fritz Huffman,

Huffman and that the statement of Hutt-
