New York, Dec. 49, The latest
clinic held by DR.. Lorenz in this
city was entirely successful in it's
results. So great was the crowd Of
parents with crippled children pres-
ent that half score of policemen
had to be called to keep order in
the halls and corridors of the Cor
nell University Medical College, in
which institution the operations
were performed. Three of the pa.
tients were sufferers from congeni-
tai dislocation of the hip and the
fourth opel alton was upon little
girl both of whose feet were dubbed.
This case DIR. Lorenz described as
the worst he had seen in child.
When the stretching and kneading
of the feet was over the doctor rais-
ed the child in his hands and set
her on her feet. With the mere
pressure of his finger and thumb he
set both feet fiat and straight, and
cheer broke out as the complete sue
cess of the operation was seen.
An effort was made to get the
professor to operate on case of
wry neck which was ready In the
hospital, but he said he had done
enough for the day. He agreed,
however, to operate on at least one
such case in Bellvue hospital today.
Washington, Dec. 19.-Some pre-
liminary business preceded the re-
sumption of the debate on the pure
food bill in the House today. Bills
were passed to make Portal, N. D..
a SUPPORT of entry for the immedi-
ate transportation of dutible goods.
and for the reliefof the Miami In.
dians, of Indiana. The debate on
the pure food bill was then resum-
ed.
After some remarks by Chandler
against the measure, and Richard-
son (Ala.) and Scherm (Md) for
the bill, Hepburn (Ia.) closed the
debate. The bill, he said, did not
fully meet his approval. If he
could have his way, it would be
made still more drastic. The bill
did not invade the police powers of
the States as he believed it sheuld.-
As soon as the first section of the
bill was read for amendment under
the fve-minute rule. Adamson
(Ga. moved to strike out the enact
ing clause. His motion was defeat
ed, - to So.
Gardiner (Mass,) offered an a.
mendment providing that "dried
fish preserved by suitable preserv-
atives employed as surface appli-
cation shall not be deemed adulter-
ated in the meaning of this act."
Mann (Ill.) supported the a.
mendment, calling attention to the
protests of the meat packers against
the inhibition Of the use of boracic
acid, the preservative used in fish
andsbeef.
Hepburn contended that tina
question of the deleteriousness of q
preservative should be decided by
the officers of the agricultural de-
partment, not by the dealers. The
amendment was lost, 16 to 80.
Without amendment of a mate
rial character, the bill was then re-
commended to the House. Mann
moved to recommit the bill, with
instructions to report in lieu thereof
the bill he had introduced.
The motion was defeated without
division. The bill then was passed.

New York, Dec. a9.-Owen Nc
Carton. rich recluse of Oceanic,
N. j., is dead. Although he had
spent 40 years at Oceanic, he was
scarcely known to any one except
the members of. his own family.
For 80 years he had not crossed the
threshold of his dwelling between
sunrise and sunset because of an g.
lection bet. During the presiden-
tial campaign of 1872 between
Grant and Greely, McCarton was
one of the latter's most enthusiastic
supporters. He made bet with a
friend that if Grant was elected he
would not leave his house except
during the night as long as he lived.
McCarton lived up to his wager.
About five years ago his house
caught fire, and for a time it look
ed as if he would have to break his
agreement, but the flames were ex-
tinguished before they had gained
