TIPPING MUST STOP.
Union Formed at Chicago to Oppose
Restaurant Tips.

Chicago. June 1.-THE restaurant tip
is facing humiliation, SO far as Chicago
is concerned. Unionism is to be met
with unionism, with striking walters
and their employers on one side and
the hungry public on the other. A
movement was set on foot to form a
society to be known as the Anti-Tipping
league The objects will be to correct
conditions in the hotels and restaurants
and the preservation of the pocketbook.
Anyone is eligible to membership. The
oath Of initiation will be. Il will not

"a T. L." will be worn by the mem

The strike of the walters has put en-
phasis on conditions which the patrons
of the downtown eating houses declare
are intolerable. Many of the walters
rely more on their tips than on their
wages, which in many cases are small,
but they have not hestitated to discom-
mode the patrons of the restaurants.
whose liberality has made it possible for
them to thrive.
Now that the walters have a union
they should be able to protect them
selves and live without 1eVying tribute

satisfactory terms with their employers.
As one indignant restaurant patron
put it:
Why should we continue to tip the

STITCH WOUND IN HEART.
Remarkable Surgical Operation Per-
formed in a London Hospital.

London. June 11.-Surgeon Furnivall
successfully stitched a wound in a mans
heart this week in the London hospital
John Long. a laborer, was stabbed
through the heart in a saloon row and
Immediately after he was brought in
DR.. Furnivall decided to make an ef-
fort to get at the very center of the
wound. Long had lost deal of blood,
but his life was saved in the first in
stance by the blood becoming CONCEALED
and closing the wound.
TIE surgeon had temporarily to dis
place the breast cartilage to the ribs
and the lungs. At first he thought the
heart itself would have to be removed
but on washing away the blood clots
and raising it a little the puncture was
found. With artery forceps he gripped
the damaged part. and first with catguf,
then with silk, sewed up the small
wound the knife had made.
Almost Immediately there was an i'm
provement of the pulse, and after 20
minutes Long was wheeled out of the
opera ting theater to a bed, where he
has continued to improve.
A similar case was successfully treat
ed in the same hospital two years ago.

a fight in the peoples interests and
who has won out in so many of his
contentious. Had it not been for his
industry, his efforts and his undfS-
couraged insistence upon better terms,
probably the franchise as originally
presented by the gas company would
have been adopted substantially with
out change. Enough members of the
city council have stood by him to re-
quire yielding on many vital points
by the company. The great value of
the bargain that has been made is due
to these Jealous partisans of the peo-
pies interests, and their service should
be remembered accordingly with graf
itude.
The people have every reason to be
well satisfied with the outlook. 1t has
been desirable, and we may say it has
been obviously necessary from the first.
that terms should be agreed upon be-
tween the company and the city.
Municipal ownership and operation
was neither possible nor desirable.
There was little probability that any
company would appear as a competi-
tor, and the granting Of a new fran
chise would entail infinite confusion in
the business district and the expendi-
ture of an enormous amount of money,
on which the people would eventually
pay the interest, in duplicating ma
chinery and facilities already in ex-
istence on the ground and ready to do
their work. The sensible thing, the
desirable thing and the economical
thing for both city and company was
to come to terms.
Th e Clio b e has stood for making
the best bargain that could be made
for the people without driving the ex-
listing company out of the field. We
believe that this has been done by the
cordial cooperation Of all parties, but
especially and in the highest degree
by the stand taken by the Democratic
corporation counsel and the Democratic
majority in the city council, and to
these the thanks of the people are
due.
