OPERATION ON LOLITA ARMOUR.
Prof. Lorenz Says She Will Be Able
to Walk

dispatch from Chicago yesterday says:
The operation which Mr. and Mrs ]. Ogden
Armour hope will cure their daughter
Lolita, who has been cripple since BIRTH
was performed today by Prof. Adolf Lorenz
OF the University of Vienna. Prof. Lorenz
pronounced 1t complete success, and said
he had not the least doubt that the child
would be able to walk as well as the health
lest children when the plaster cast shall be
removed next spring. Prof. Lorenz was
aided by his assistant, DR.. Frederick Muel-
Ter of Vienna, DR.. Dexter Ashley of New
York, who was student under him during
the summer; DR.. Frank Billings, DR.. John
Ridlon and DR.. ]. l.. Miller.
The operation was concluded about two
hours after the anaesthetic was admins
tered. Prof. Lorenz will remain in Chicago
for ten days two weeks and will see his
patient frequently during that time. He ex-
poets to make trip TO California, and on
his return will make final visit to the
little girl.
The profe ssion of Chicago will have an OPP
portunity to Prof. Lorenz tomorrow
perform practically the same operation of
reducing congenital dislocation of the hip.
He will conduct clinic at the College of
Physicians and Surgeons, and will have
four, and possibly five, patients who will re-
ceive treatment free of cost that under
other circumstances would cost small for
tune.

AWARD TO A CoLoNEL's WIFE.
One Hundred Thousand Dollars for
Government Use of a Tent.
e San Francisco Examiner says:

The San Francisco Examiner says:
Mrs. Rice, wife of Col. Edmund Rice of
the 10Th Infantry. received Information Oc-
tober that the court OF claims will al
low her 500, 600 for the use the government
has made of a patent of hers designed to
lessen the labors of the soldier
Col. Rice Is veteran who has seen forty
years Of service. and 1t has always been his
aim to relieve his men OF as much drudgsry
as possible, that they would be in the
best possible condition when they were
needed for active service. He found the
old knapsack both unwieldy and expensive,
so he and Mrs. Rice collaborated on an
idea that would save the government
money and the soldiers strength. Together
they designed a folding tent, with straps
and clasps. that would not only contain all
of the soldiers outfit, but could be utilized
as cape in rainy weather. 1t did away
with the knapsack entirely. The military
authorities saw its advantages and imme-
diately adopted 1t.
When Col. Rice was appointed military
attache to Japan In 1896 he made the pat
ent, with all prospective profits. ove- to
Mrs. Rice, who will receive the 100000
allowed by the court OF claims, as well as
the proceeds derived from its manufacture
and sale elsewhere.

SOFT GOALS OPPORTUNITY.
Weeks Must Pass Before Anthracite
Will Be Cheap.

From the Baltimore American.
The chief mining expert in the govern
ment service. who has been in constant
consultation with the President during the
recent efforts to end the coal strike, has
given to the public the opinion that, were
the strike to end tomorrow and the mines
to resume operations with all their men
and with extra shifts, it would be at least
six months before normal conditions could
prevail in the hard coal trade He gives
figures and facts for his view which APP
pear to be convincing. OF course he does
not assume that during the whole period
the situation would be as 1t is now. Coal
would be delivered in very small quantities
after. say. two three weeks of mining
resumption and the supply would gradu-
ally increase. but weeks would elapse be-
fore the supply eQualed the demand or sold
at a price that would place 1t within the
means of a large majority of the people.
The public must, therefore, become rec
oncfled to the fact that mere makeshifts
will not meet the crisis. There must be
serious preparations for the winter with
some substitute for hard coal. There will
be innovations of coal from abroad but
they Will be trif1ing compared with the peo-
pies needs. The output in Great Britain is
little more than is required at home, and
the small quantities thus far purchased for
the American market have already caused
an advance in price in London. In making
ARRANGEMENTS for the winter 1t must be
borne in mind that coal at $40 per ton is
not within the reach of a vast majority Of
people. and after the first onslaught on the
British market none is likely to reach this
city for three months at figures less than
that.
1t must be obvious. therefore, that some
other fuel must be substituted. The most
natural and the most popular appears to be
soft coal. There may be some initia tory
expense in making the change, and a little
trouble In accustoming oneself to the
change. but 1t Is not a matter Of choice
Neither gas nor coal oil will fully supply
the place of hard coal. They will be of
great service. and in many instances they
may answer every purpose but speaking
generally, soft coal will be the substitute.
Thus will be illustrated the old saying that
what is one mans misfortune is another
mans opportunity. The coal magnates in
MARYLAND and West Virginia are now MAX
ing the best use Of their opportunity and
giving an impetus to their trade which will
be permanent. They have only to keep on
supplying the public promptly and at rea-
sonable prices. and a large part of the mar
ket hitherto monopoiZed by hard coal will
be theirs Of course, numbers of peOple
will go back to hard coal when they can
get 1t at reasonable prices, but a great
NUMBER Will continue to use soft coal. and
the latter will increase annually

Harbormaster's Force.
A recommendation is made that the har-

lice department. and that the harbormaster
be designated captain, also harborma ster."
1t is further recommended that the major
and superintendent of police be charged
with the enforcement of all laws and regu-
lations relating to the harbor and employ
such captain in the execution of the du-
ties appertaining thereto.
UP to the present time the harbormaster
has not been provided with night crew
for the conduct of the patrol boat, but has
been enabled to do day work only. Very
often he Is called upon to render service
IN the nighttime, in the recovery of drown
ed bodies or in the saving Of life or prop
erty. and he is unable to render such serv-
