His Stomach Removed,

A remarkable surgical operation was
performed several days ago on Albert
Hansdorf, a German, living on Cherry
street. Hansdorf had been hurt in
ternally while at work in a machine
shop. At Erlanger Hospital, after
long study Of the case, DR.. Berlin,
with Hansdorf's consent, decided upon
heroic measures. The whole stomach
was removed from the mans body,
and his entrails were put upon a mar
BILE table, where they were worked
upon. The surgeons discovered the
wrong. and cut several entrails from
the stomach, and, washing what was
left thoroughly, placed it back in the
mans body.
The patient was then restored to
consciousness. He remained in q crit
lcal condition for several days, but is
now improving, and will in all proba-
bility recover.-Chattanooga Times.

The women of the w. G. T. U. agreed

Mrs. Sheriff was mistaken by the
crowd for Mrs. Nation. After the raid
Mrs. Sheriff threw off her veil and SAID

tainted at the thought Of what she
had missed!
More interesting to this account than
either Of these boyish romances is the
story of his falling in love with Miss
Mary Philipse, of New York. 1t was
in the year 1856. Washington was on
his way to Boston, where he was to
see the commanding-general Of the
British forces. Washington's journey
was a prolonged ovation, for bis fame
as a man who had faced the enemy
and managed the retreat after Brad
docks regulars fled was everywhere
known. At the home of Colonel Bev'
erly Robinson, Washington met Miss
Philipse. She was certainly a beautl.
fui girl, if her portrait that remains
is truthful, and Washington fell in
love with her and asked her to marry
him.
The fact in this case worth especial
attention is that Washington was

of the Chamberlayne dinner table, for
there stands the vivacious widow
charming the man who of all men Is
now most honored by his countrymen
charming him by her exquisite per-
sonality as she gave him q flower.
One likes to recall that, even in the
state of civilization then prevailing-a
state of civilization wherein human
life was held so cheap by great ma
jority of the people that men were
found to say they would "as soon kill
an Indian as q Washington
would not wantonly kill fox. And,
in connection with that fact, it will
he remembered that the estate was
strictly preserved. II n gun was heard
anywhere on the plantation the people
were under strict orders Ito so after"
it, and permission to hunt or shoot
over the plantation was never given to
any one, save only rs personal friends
were sometimes invited to do so with
Washington himself.
If the reader thinks this last fact
proves Washington was not 4 good
fellow l must reply that It at least
proves that Jefferson was wrong in
saying, His heart was not warm;'-
he could feel for the wildlings thlt
found a home on the old plantation.
But the undisputed facts that show
how warm hearted the man was hav1
only been touched upon-there ia
space only for brief review of them
at best. How Washington while q lad
in his teens fell in love with Low

along with some rhymes which he
wrote to express his feelings. An eX.
animation of the dates shows that.

Washington's compatriots is very we'll

to show here how there is even now 4
want Of comprehension and SYM
pathy" in what may be called the ro
mantle features of W0shington's char
acter- to show, that is, that he was
not cold in his affections.
For a beginning, let us look at the

Household Expenses, 1884 most
unronantic table of figures, as a
whole; but one column of those figures
standing between Hogs Lard" on
one hand and "Crockery" on the other,
shows what he paid for "Flowers-

tiflcial' flowers of the account, because
they were a mere concession to
fashion, but for natural flowers, dur
ing three months only, Washington
paid 9S IL G. And in that day flowers
were far cheaper than they are now

And then there was his meeting with
Martha Gusts, who became his wife
a most beautiful story that. 1t was in
the days when the armies in Europe
as well as in America were fighting
to determine whether the territory
west OF the A!leghanies should be un-

perhaps all the colonies, by his hero

the seyenty-five Or more animals Of all

Building, in this city, were roasted or
burned to death. The fire probably
originated from a badly insulated cleo

building.
The flames spread so rapidly that it
was impossible for the attendants to
rescue the helpless animals, and, with
the exception of one elephant, one
camel, two donkeys, and a pack of
hounds, the entire herd was lost.
Mr.. Bcstick estimates his loss on AMI

which was of wood, could probably be
