He stood in the white and gold re-
ception room of his big Philadelphia
office, under a charcoal drawing OF

fore him hung paintings of Narclssus
of Paris and of other noted types OF
virile beauty.
Il cater to men, he resumed, smil-

was revealed, a room like barber

feet from the corners of a mans eyes

The young woman in white smiled
at the visitors, but their patients
scowled and looked embarrassed
Withdrawing, the surgeon opened a
door on the left.
This" he said, lis one of the private
operating rooms"
Luminous white thing covered the
walls and the floor, and a skylight
flooded with light the little room that
he had entered. There was an oper-
ating chair Of white enamel, white
enamel table with a glass top, and a
glass case filled with strange, sharp
looking instruments of silver and steel.
In the operating chair fat man sat.
An electrical machine buzzed beside
him. A surgeon worked on his face
with a needle that a cord connected
with the battery.

proprietor, land three private operat-

Cotton Bale Thlrty.one Years Old.

great deal of queer cotton to New Orleans.
The staple has become so valuable that
the owners of cotton gins are scraping the
floors and have made up several bales of
waste cotton. Perhaps the most extraor-
binary bale, however. is one that arrived
here from Georgia. 1t is of the crop of
1872 and is consequently thirty-one years
old. Its owner held out for sixteen cents
that year, but when the market broke
and cotton went down he swore he would
never sell it for less than sixteen cents.
When cotton went up to fourteen cents in
New Orleans he shipped it here, to be
ready for the sixteen cents he pledged
himself to, with orders to his agent to
sell whenever that figure was reached.
The cotton has been stored in one room
dried out. 1t lost fifty pounds in the
process. Experts declare the staple to be
as good as eyer.-New Orleans Times

ON TRIAL FOR SIXTH TIME
Celebrated Kansas Insurance Case
Sent Back to Trial Court.

Washington, February 2-The cele-
brated Kansas insurance case, which
grew out Of the alleged death Of John
w. Hillmon in the state in 1879 was to-
day sent back to the trial court for
the sixth trial
Hillmon's. life was insured in the
Connecticut Life Insurance Company
for $4,000, and when his death was re-
ported, the payment of the policy was
resisted on the ground that he entered
into conspiracy with others to dis
appear, have the report circulated that
he was dead, then substituted the corpse
Of another man and claim payment on
the policy. Hillmon disappeared while
travelling on the plains with a man
named Brown, who swore that he had
been killed by the accidental discharge
Of a gun. The case has been in the
courts ever since. The circuit court of
appeals for the eight circuit, at the
last hearing, decided the case in favor
of the claim of the widow of the insur-
ed man, but the supreme court reversed
the opinion on the ground Of errors in
the trial. The opinion was delivered
by Justice Brown. Justices Brewer and
White dissenting

TROOPS CALLED OUT.
Governor Chamberlain Sends Thir-
teen Companies to Waterbury.

Waterbury, Conn, February 1.-Eight
companies of the First regiment, Con-
necticut national guard, and five COM
panies of the Second regiment, with
terbury tonight, at the command of
Governor Chamberlain, because of "the
imperative need occasioned by the
trolley strike situation. The riot about
the, streets last night coupled with
threats of further disturbances led to
the call for troops. There was no rep
etition today of the violence of last
night. but crowds congregated about
the streets and had to be dispersed by
the police, while there were rumors of
an attack to be made tonight on the
car barn, where the non-union motor
men and conductors brought here by
the Connecticut Railway and Lighting
Company were stationed.
During the day all lines were operat-
ed with non-union trolley men but
though there was some hooting and
ieering from the crowds, the cars were
not molested. No cars were run after
dark.
Governor Chamberlain, when asked
why the militia had been ordered out
said: Because the situation demands
it. l had hesitated about it, but every
effort has been made by the local au-
thorities in Waterbury to avert vio-
Ience, and today it seemed apparent
that wisdom dictated prompt and en-
ergetic action if law and order and the
welfare of the city and state were to
be conserved
Violence continued today through no
serious damage was done. One of the
injured non-union motormen, who is
in a serious condition. was ordered to
be removed to the hospital. Three nom
union men We're on their way to the
hospital for a stretcher when a mob
of several hundred men and boys as
saulted them with rocks. The men ran
and found refuge in the hospital. The
mob surrounded the building and be-
came so threatening that the super
intendent telephoned to the police for
protection. Three officers were sent up
and they succeeded in dispensing the
mob, but when asked to escort the men
back to their barns it is said they re-
fused. This evening a squad Of Off
GERS escorted them to the car barn.
About 20 non-union men have been in
iured in the riots.
