THAT $4,000 EAR.

Philadelphia, Nov. 20.-Dr. Andrew
l.. Nelden has performed the operation
of grating an ear upon the head OF
western millionaire, whose name is
not revealed. The man who loses his
ear is young German and he gets
$4,000 for it. The operation was per-
formed in Philadelphia because of
New York statute against mayhem
which might have made the doctor
liable. DR.. Nelden says the opera
ton was successful and describes it as
follows:
"The two men were placed in OPP
posite directions upon an elongated
bed. One half of the volunteers ear
the upper half-was cut off, together
with about tour inches of the skin be-
hind the ear This was tw listed
around and fitted to freshly pre-
pared wound upon my patients head.
The half ear was held in place by ban
dages, and the two men were bound so
they could not move their heads.
They must retain this position for at
least twelve days to allow the circu-
lation to come through the flap of skin
that still remains part of the volun-
teer's scalp. If this half ear starts to
unite properly the lower half of the
ear will be grated in the same man.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-11-05

It must be remembered that the ex- posures of the postoffice frauds have been wrung from the unwilling repub- lican leaders by the force of public opinion, and, not because they were anxious to expose the seoundrels. Post master General Payne, when his de- pertinent was first under suspicion, designated the first exposure of the frauds as ."shot air." and belittled the whole matter as far as he was able, but the rival factions in the postofice department were too intent on destroy ing each other to permit the evidence | of the frauds to be kept secret. and the investigation had to proceed. If the making of synopsis of the report of MT Bristow is left to MT Payne, or any of his satellites, but little evidence damaging to the higher officials will ever be seen by the public eye. The democrats in congress will, of course, demand that the whole evidence be printed, but the minority party has but little show to force such action, unless the public vigorously demands it.

 No need of going away down to New York to find samples of that kind of newspapering. Take Bridgeport, for instance. The pdpers in the Park city opposed to Mayor Mulvihill not only shouted themselves hoarse, but they grew red in the face and threw all kinds of fits, and yet-well, whats the use of piling on the agony? We sym pathize with the editors of the defeat ed organs, and incidentally wonder why they allowed themselves to be carried to such extremes as they re- sorted to.
