casions, but this, of course, is confined to
the lti-millionaire class almost ex-
clusively. Jewels on gowns are also worn
to quite an extent Beautiful creations
of lace are frequently adorned in this
manner. One rather startling creation
seen was of black lace covered with rub
les that was very effective and set off the
brunette beauty of the wearer in a most
striking manner. Black lace gowns, by
the way, are very much seen. Many of
them are unrelieved by any other tone at
all, and they certainly look most effec-
tive. NJ
And thus we have the Newport summer

She is the girl par excellence at Newport

and told how he had saved
- the life of young soldier
who had ben stabbed in the most vital

verltricle of His heart. The patient was
put under chloroform, his side opened and
the wound stitched up. A few days later
pleurisy INTERVIEWED and very rare dis
ease. phlebitis, or Inflammation Of the
veins Of the left leg. But under remedies
those symptoms passed away and the
man made perfect recovery.
The daughter of a police officer at
Rochester, England, was recently taken
to ST. Bartholomew hospital in that
town suffering sevre pains in the heart
After an X-ray examination it was de-
cided that an. operation must take place.
A large needle was found sticking in the
girls heart 1t was successfully re-
moved and, like the French soldier, the
patient got quite well again.
Equally remarkable have been some
other cures wrought by modern surgery
Among these is the case of Jay Lutz, an
oyerseer in the Hartman quarries In West
Virginia. A mass of slate fell and
crushed his head so badly that Lutz was
brought to the surface apparently dead.
The owner of the quarries is DIR. Hartman
and seeing what desperate state Lutz
was in, he resolved to resort to a desper-
ate expedient. He removed a large por-
ton of the lacerated brain from the in
iured mans head, and replaced it with
part Of the brain of a heifer. The opera
ton was a most tedious one, but proved
quite successful.
One of the most daring operations per-
formed by aasurgeon had for its subject
the wife of Rear Admiral Ferry, dis
tinguished Spanish officer. Two years
ago the lady was suffering from consump-
ton. the left lung being so badly diseased
that the case had been pronounced by
doctors to be hopeless. Prof. Molle, dem
onstrator of surgery in the University
hospital at Madrid. had written book
mentioning the possibility Of the cure of
consumption by surgical means. Sonora
Ferry saw this treatise and immediately
sent for the professor and asked him as
a last hope to try the treatment All
preparations being made, DIR, NOBLE
opened the chest and laid bare the lung,
which was thoroughly cleansed with anti
septic solution and cauterized. In an as
tonishingly brief time the lady recovered.
Less serious, but In it's way equally
startling, was an operation performed at
the Maritime hospital, Cherbourg, last
December. An artillery man named Rob-
ert met with an accident by which four
fingers Of his right hand were cut COM
pletely off at the second joint. The sur
geons Immediately rejoined the severed
members. They united perfectly, and tia
soldier actually regained almost complete
use of his hand.

RECIPROCITY WITH CUBA.
Preposition for Each to Concede
Forty Fer Cent Reduction.

Washington. February 20.-The re-

ference for three hours this afternoon
on the subject of Cuban reciprocity,
and. although the conference went over
without action until 2 o'clock D.. M. to-
morrow. the members found themselves
for the first time in possession of a
proposition commanding considerable
strength AMI understood to represent
the attitude OF the administration. This
proposition was brought w by
Representative Long, OF Kansas, n
authorized the president. when Cuba
was To grant 40 per cent. re-
duction in duties on United States ex-
ports to the island. to grant to Cuba
similar reduction of 40 per cent. on all
the products of the island coming to the
United States. This was a straight
reciprocity proposition, each side grant
ing 40 per cent reduction without the
complications appearing in some of the
other propositions as to the method of
payment. etc
Mr.. Longs proposition drew out ex-
tended discussion which indicated a
tendency on the part of Mr.. Payne, the
chairman. arc Mr.. Mccall to support it.
Various other suggestions were put
forward and discussed but none took
definite form beyond that of Mr.. Long.
