Deaths After Operations For Com
genital HIP Disease Are Cited.

Washington, May 14.-Fifteen of the
component societies of the congress Of
American physicians and surgeons held
meetings, some of them concluding
their work.
The methods of Professor Adolph
Lorenz, the Austrian surgeon, in the
treatment of congenital hip disease
and clubfoot furnished the feature of
general interest at the meetings Of the
American Surgical and Orthopedic as
sociations. To the Surgical association
the case Of Charles Willett, operated
upon last November by DR.. Lorenz for
elubfoot, was presented. Although
one Of excessive difficulty, the opera
ton was pronounced perfect success.
No discussion specially condemnatory
of Ilorenz's methods was elected, but
some Of the more conservative mem
bers of the association were adverse in
their criticisms. The statement was
made that the operation Of DIR. Lorenz
upon Lolita Armour daughter Of ].
Ogden Armour Of Chicago, to perform
which the Austrian surgeon had come
to the United States, had not proved
entirely successful 1t was evident
from the tone Of the discussion that a
majority Of the surgeons in attendance
were supporters of the Lorenz meth
DDS. No action, however, was taken.
The storm center Of the discussion Of
the Lorenz method was at the session
of the American Orthopedic associa-
ton, before which DR.. A. ]. Steele of
St Louis cited the case of a boy eight
years old afflicted with hip disease who
had been operated upon by the Aus
trian surgeon and subsequently had
died of meningitis. He did not attrib-
ute the death directly to the operation,
but warned his colleagues that the
Lorenz methods ought to be employed
with great care.
DR.. Wilson Defends Lorenz.
Or. IL. Augustus Wilson of the JEFF
ferson hospital, Philadelphia, present
ed report upon twenty-three cases
observed In the hospital, eight Of
which were operated upon by DR. Lo-
REM. DR. Wilson made defense Of
the Lorenz methods, and, as he had as
sisted the Austrian surgeon in all the
cases presented, his judgment carried
great weight
DR.. w. M, L. Coplin Of Philadelphia
reported the ease of a seven-year-old
girl who died after Or Lorenz had OPP
Grated upon her, death, in the view of
DR.. Coplln, being due to shock.
DR. Gwilym G. Davis Of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania read a paper in
which he maintained that the Lorenz
methods were TOO severe and that they
had been accompanied by injuries,
paralysis and death.
Or. q. II. Bradford of Boston, while
he did not quite approve Of the Lo-
REM practice. expressed a great adj
miration for Professor Lorenz. one Of
his objects in attending the meeting
was to offer resolutions Of thanks to
Professor Lorenz for coming to this
country and demonstrating his meth

TWO MINUTE TRoT7EB.
Lou Dillon Lowers Worlds Trot-
ting Record.

keadville, Mass, Aug. 24.-Before
a great crowd of spectators at Read
vile today, and with track and
weather conditions perfect, Lou Dill
lon trotted a mile in two minutes, q
new worlds record.
So that no breezes might interfere,
Millard Sanders, driver of the great
mare, brought out the daughter of
Sidney Dillon for the attempt early
in the day.
For pacemakers there were two run
ming horses hitched to road carts,
Peggy from Paris, driven by doc"
Tanner, AID Carrie Nation, driven by
Scott Mccoy.
The first score was fruitless. Lou
Dillon making a break just before
reachinfg the wire. On the second
attempt, however, the word was
given, though Starting Judge Walker
rang his bell, but Tanner nodded for
him to say ego" and turning to San
ders called to him to come along.
Tanner kept Peggy from Paris direct
ly in front Of the peerless chestnut
trotter while Mccoy lay at her wheel.
In this way the trio went to the quar-
tire pole in 30A seconds With never
skip Lou Dillon went on smooth
gated down the back stretch as to
lead those not timing the mile to be-
lieve that her speed was not alarming
ly fast. The half was clicked in
:0Oa4. Around the turn to the three
quarters pole the clip quickened, the
third quarter being in 30A: making
that part Of her. journey in 81.
Faster and faster came Tanner with
the runner and right with him trotted
the handsome California-bred mare.
Sanders was sitting perfectly still,
but Mccoy was crying aloud to his
runner to cheer on Lou Dillon.
To the amazement of all the quarter
was driven in % seconds, thus making
the mile in the wonderful time of two
minutes.

First Hank of Government Silk.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Secretary
Wilson exhibited on his desk in the
agricultural department. today the
first hank of silk reeled from the silk
reeling machines recently purchased
by the department. There are three
of these machines, though only one of
them has been put in operation, the
intention being to send one of the two
remaining machines to Tuskegee and
the other to some other place where
sufficient interest may be shown to
learn how to operate it. Cocoons
have been purchased from all over the
country and two expert female
French operatives have been brought
to Washington to teach the operation
of the machines. 1t is Secretary Will
sons desire to have the people of the
South, and especially colored persons,
learn the business, because of the
comparative cheapness of that labor.
Arrangements already have been made
to have some girls come to Washing
ton to learn the machines and they
are expected daily. Secretary Wilson
says that the depa rtment is prepared
to do everything possible to encourage
the industry, and that silk worm
eggs as we'll as young mulberry
trees will be supplied to persons de-
string to engage in the business. The
at present is buying CO.

centres will be established as fast as
possible and each of these will be

of very fine quality. The department

Death of Lord Salisbury.

London, Aug. 22.-Lord Salisbury
died at Hatfield at 9.O5 p. m. The eaa
of the distinguished statesman was =
peaceful one, without the slightest eri-
dence of pain. When death became i'm
minent, the attending physician sun
moned the waiting members of the
family, who gathered at the bedsi5s
and took farewell of the dying mar
who, however, was unconscious Of
their presence.

brief announcement was hande6 r..

Pulitzer, the Product of Environ
ment.

Joseph Pulitzer was born in the
very heart of the masses, in poverty
and obscurity. He was born under
the flag of oppression, born of a saw
agely oppressed, race, born into condi-
tions which could not fail to stir a
good mind of generous instincts to a
passionate hatred of injustice, a pas
sionate longing for equality and free
dom. He camessto this country mere
boy, and, several years before he was
of age, served in the Union Army in
one Of the German regiments. At the
end Of the war, he was mustered out
into poverty, but with some knowl-
edge of the English language and
some acquaintance with the politics
and people Of this country. Perhaps
the most amazing instance of his tri-
umph over difficulties is his learning
of the English language-learning to
speak and write and think it with per-
feet fuency, with an accent so slight
that it is never noticeable unless one
listens for it-with knowledge Of
synonyms and shades of meaning that
would excite the wonder and the envy
of a student of English to whom it
was the mother-tongue.
For few years he had a romantic
but cruelty hard career as day-laborer,
politician in the German quarter Of
st. Louis, German newspaper report
er. By incessant toll, by marvellous
exhibition Of mental and physical ca
pacity, mental and physical courage,
he became politician in larger way,
recognized public speaker both in
German and in English, earned a
small competence in German journal
ism before he was thirty, and retired
to devote himself to economics and
politics. Then he became proprietor
of bankrupt, rusted-out, worse than
dead ST. Louis English paper-what-
ever else it then was, it was not a
newspaper.
In about FIVE years he transformed
it from the deadest newspaper in the
United States to the most alive. How?
By making it the same sort of paper
that he was of man-nervous, keen,
inquisitive, furious against class and
caste and privilege, against corruption
in public Iofhce, against injustice
everywhere, against that favoritism in
the publication of news which wins
the approval of the "better Glass; by
publishing none of its wrong-doings
but everything of an interesting ma
ture in the doings and misdoings OF
the humble. His was a newspaper full
of personalities of all kinds. His was
newspaper that printed the startling
happenings, thus appealing to the uni
versal human hankering for that
which sways the great emotions-love
and hate, money and power.-Every-
body's Magazine.

The blind tiger war has broken out
in Charleston again which shows that
neither the lapse of time nor the
change of administration reconciles the
liquor sellers of Charleston to the en-
forcement of the dispensary law. It
seems that the best that can be hoped
for is to make truce with the tigers
and permit them to sell liquors if they
will buy their supplies from the dis
pensary. 1t is said that many of them
are now the most liberal patrons of

PROGRESS OF THE REVOLUTION.
Sofa, Aug. 3.-From eastern Ad-
rianople come reports of more fight
ing, which thus far seems to be re-
suIting chiefly in favor of the revolu-
tionists. Many villages have been
burned and their inhabitants have
taken refuge across the Bulgarian
frontier. After long fight at
Stoiloro. the insurgents defeated a
detachment of Turkish troops which
lost 20 killed and wounded.
At Chanagasko, near Surovicovo,
the insurgents are reported to have
annihilated an entire Turkish regi-
ment.
At Buanlkzera, 75 revolutionists
are credited with defeating a Turkish
battalion. The villages of Andermis
and Enrik have been burned to ashes.
The Turks have bombarded and de-
stroyed the monastery of ConstanSein
near Losengrad, where so insurgents
had fortified themselves. The villages
of Bakdgik, Konakara, Dingisco,
Evren and Brnshevak have all been
burned and all the inhabitants have
fed. The large village of Drumbeg-
lem near Losengrad, has been burned
by bashi bazouks. The villages of
Bucb, with 300 houses, and Rakoro,
200 houses, situated in the villayet Of
Monastir, also have been burned by
Turkish troops. Two hundred women
and children from these places are
begging in the streets of Monastir.
The Turkish government has organ

There was much talk among state
