 In this way Professor Lorenz, of VI enna announced yesterday that the oper- ation on Lolita. daughter of J. Ogden Armour, had been performed. and that he was convinced the little girl would, in few weeks. enjoy the free use of her leg. and be as other children are.
 The operation, to perform which Pro- lessor Lorenz, the leading orthopedic sur geon of Europe. journeyed from Vienna to Chicago. was carried out at the Ar mour home. SPA Michigan avenue. Pro lessor Lorenz was assisted by pr. Fried rich Mueller who accompanied him from Vienna for the purpose. and there were also present Dr. Frank Billings. Mfr. Ar mour's family physician, and Mir. Dex- ter Ashley, of New York. the latter q former pupil of Professor Lorenz. Ex- traordinary precautions were taken to insure the success of the operation. and after its performance, which occupied two hours, Professor Lorenz declared that the little girls hip. which had been dislocated from birth. would soon grow into thoroughly normal condition.
 The operation" he said last night, in describing the matter, consisted simply of drawing the limb down so that the head of the femur. or hip bone, came be- low the socket of the hip into which it OlIUhf forrna1ixF To 4A s in, until the femur rests fin the socket as 1t should. Formerly. and indeed until quite recently, it was necessary to ac- complish this result by cutting Into the Aesh, and by removing enough bone from the socket to insure the femur fitting into it. After more than 300 such oper- ations, which I performed. I conceived the plan of accomplishing the same re- suits without any incision. and of rely ing on nature to accomplish results which had formerly been achieved by means of the knife alone
 T now use weights and pressure to force the projecting femur into line with It's socket. If the socket is not properly shaped to receive the femur, I rely on it's growing into shape by means of my especially contrived appliances
 After the little girl had been placed under anesthetics, I proceeded to manip- ulate the limb as have described. From the hip down to a line just below the knee cap the limb was then incased in plaster of paris, in order to hold it in place. This cast will remain on for six months.
 But 1t is so adjusted that the flesh is not unduly pressed. There are appliances by means of which the skin underneath

soLILooUY OF RICHARD III.

By William Shakespeare. Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of

 house, In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. Now are our browns bound with victor Our bruised arms hung up for inonr-

Whisky Trade.

"While it is true that the beer trade is on the increase, the men that l serve drink whisky almost exclusively" said a First avenue bartender
 q have been tending bar at this house for a number of years and it is seldom that any thing but whisky is called for. One who drops in here at any hour of the day or night will find men lined up at the counter and every one of them drinking whisky.
 Several frst-class beers are on sale here, but l have known whole day to pass without as many as half dozen glasses of malt liquor being sold. No other barkeeper in Birmingham has the same experience that I have in the mat ter of whisky. l do not know how to account for it. It just seems to happen so."

unnrsosdented ProsperIty.

"Ddark my prediction, remarked a banker yesterday, prosperity in the United States will be greater between now and Christmas than 1t has ever been. The record-breaking crops stimu- lated the general business of the country and everything was ripe for a. marvellous period of thrift when the anthracite strike became serious and depressing Now with the strike settled nothing stands in the way of prosperity
 Values are going to jump up all along the lire. The stock market will be on boom. Capital will come pouring into the south as never before. and croaKers will disappear altogether from the land

pIstinaulsned scholar.

s'President Roosevelt selected his an- thracite commission wisely" said man of affairs. General Wilson, retired chief of engineers of the United States army, Is an exceptionally able man and so is MT. Parker, the governments mining eX- pert. But one of the happiest selections was Bishop Spalding of Peoria, III. Ihe Catholic church is rich il scholarship, put if ,s safe to say that pr. Spalding stands foremost in learning among the prelates of the United States. He Is the au1hor of several standard works and his new hook on Religion, Agnosticism and Edu- cation, Is attracting wide attention and is heinz praised by the leading review CTS. It is at once profound and epigram- matic. Here Is a trenchant sentence' The confident assurance of an amateur is always suspicious; and to have hVeo with deep and serious minds is to turn instinctively from declaimers
 But Bishop Spalding is more than man of letters. He is student Of men and measures, and is statesman ana man of the world in the best sense.
 "This brilliant prelate was born at Lebanon, Ky, and is nephew or the late Archbishop Spalding. He studied at Mount Saint Mary's, Emmitsburg, Mary land. and afterwords at Louvain, Bel gian, and at Rome. He served as chan cellor of the diocese of Louisville and from 17S2 to 1877 was stationed in New York city.
 "Bishop spalding is, according to the latest reports from the Holy See, to be appointed archbishop of Chicago in suc- cession to the late Archbishop Feehan.'

The party of Canadian capitalists head ing for Birmingham will not reach here unti the latter part of the month. Ac- cording to their original plans they were to be here this week, but President J.

Where the Ships Come In.

From the Boston Herald.
 The coal famine struck Chatham early in the season. as only a small supply WAS on hand for the dealers to put out t. the hotels and summer boarding houses. SC the natives are using wood and oil for fuel. Fortunately a fair amount of stove coal was received by the dealers early in the spring. and some of this lies in the bins of families. so there will probably be no real distress until the severe win- ter months set in, and then it is not be- lieved the situation will be extremely bad, as there are many resorts for fuel of good quality here. For instance, the old wrecks and driftwood along the shore will be more carefully guarded, and all ready the old hulks are being reduced to fire wood and stored away for winter use.

Music at the Fair.

The state fair will open next Thurs day and Birmingham will be crowded with visitors.
 Country cousins will begin to arrive early in the week, and if President Krebs can induce the weather man to favor the fair association with clear skies the gate receipts will be ample to meet all eX- penses.
 Varied attractions are promised, but the music alone should be sufficient to draw crowds every day. Memoirs band VIII play every morning and afternoon, and beginning Monday, October 27, Liberatis band will play every afternoon and night.

There Is SO much diversified industry in and around Birmingham now that business was fairly good here in spite or the miners strike. said a tobacco sales man yesterday, .but at Pratt City and Ensley conditions were very different
 T visited the two towns named last week and found everybody depressed. I did not make single sale at Pratt. Today I made the rounds of Pratt City and Ems ley and found everybody in happy mood and ready to do business. I sold more tobacco in Pratt City today than had sold there on any previous visit In three months"

Woodchopper In Luck.

From the Boston Herald
 The Johnston Lumber company of Marlboro, which does a very extensive cord wood business in supplying factory, brickyard and family trade. has 1000 or less cords of standing hard and soft wood that 1t desires to cut immediately in view of the fuel crisis but in answer to an advertisement "Woodchoppers want ed" is confronted with the problem of advanced prices for cutting wood, the few desirable men available hereabouts for such cervice demanding SIPS and $1.50 per cord for their work. Fodmerly they have been willing to do this for 90 cents and S1 per cord Unless the price of coal mine products lowers the men can probably obtain what they demand.

Tired of Being Neglected by Britain
in interests of the United states.
ottawa. Ont, Feb. 19.-There was an
exciting debate in the House of Com
mons to-day on the Alaska boundary
question. 1t was brought up by Henry
Bourassa, who moved for all papers
and correspondence connected with the
Clayton -Bulwer treaty and the Alaska
boundary The premier said that the
correspondence could not be brought
down while negotiations were going on.
Mr.. Bourassa did not see that that
excuse could apply to the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. He pointed out that
Canadian interests were always sacrl-
feed by Britain to please the United.
States. Britain, like Providence. want
ed to be on the side of the big pat
talions. He pointed to the Alabama
claims. the Trent affair, the Alaskan
boundary. the placing of an embargo
on Canadian cattle the aiding of inn
migration to South Africa and other
cases to show that Britain was always
ready to sacrifice Canadian interests.
Sir WiIfred Laurier, the premier,
said that he was not an admirer of the
British policy on the American conti-
nent. but he did not think that even
MT. bouTdSSd WOulu ASK Lldl ID lIall
should go to war with the United
States.
S F. Goulay of Pictou, Nova Scotia,
struck a fighting attitude and declared
that he agreed with Bourassa, al
though he had never done so before.
TIe accused Britain of always sacrific-
ing Canada in its negotiations with the
United States, and rather than submit
he and his family would go into the
trenches and stay there for years, If
need be, TO fight for the rights of Can
ada ''If it Is. necessary" he said, ito
fight the Yankees we will fight within
twenty-four hours and after six
months we will capture their capital
and annex their country to Canada
Mr. Bourassa then withdrew his mo-
ton
