Student ut Brown University Con-
fesses to n Series of Stea1ings.
Poker playing among students or
Brown University, Providence, X. L., has
led to the arrest of Ralph Il. Bancroft
OF Stoneham, Mass, on the charge OF
larceny. lie was put on probation after
the case was heard, but has been dis
missed from the university. Members OF
the faculty declare that the card playing
which involved Bancroft did not take
place in the college buildings. Ever
since the college year opened students
who patronzed the swimming pool had
been losing money and other valuables.
In n most mysterious manner wallets DIS
appeared from their clothing. Suspicion
narrowed down to Bancroft, but rs he
had led an exemplary life and was
leader in religious meetings it was hard
~ thought that he could be the thief.
Various traps were set, but none proved
effective until the other afternoon, when
an electric 'buzzer" was rugged IN the
office At the other end of the wire was
a pocketbook. Bancroft was left alone
in the locker room and few minutes
later the alarm sounded. A marked bill,
which had been placed in the pocket
book, is alleged to have been found IN
Bancroft's shoe. He confessed that he
had perpetrated the long series Of thefts,
the proceeds OF which ranged from small
change up to S25, and declares his losses
ut cards had drawn him into trouble.

Remarkable Cures Reported at New
York Hospital.
Remarkable cures of typhoid fever pa
tents are reported by Beth-lsrael hos
pital in New York, where serum inn
ported from Italy and Switzerland is be-
ing used Although the remedy has been
in use for more than three months 1t has
Just been made public. In that time
thirty cases have been treated at the hos
pital. which is in the most crowded quar-
ter Of the east side. Not one of the
patients died and in some instances i'm
provement set in before the fever had
run more than half its regular course.
The improvement was invariably perma-
nent and many patients were dismissed
from the hospital from two to three
weeks before the usual time. A small
quantity of the lymph is injected into the
body three times day, sometimes in the
thigh, sometimes in the breast. The
operation is simple and practically pam
less. Physicians In charge of the instr
tuition refuse to discuss the subject fully,
pending the preparation Of detailed
report on each case for the use OF the
medical profession They admit the sue
cessful use of the new serum. but main
tain that the treatment is still in its eX-
perimental stage.

A. c. Bushnell Shoots Himself at New
Haven Motive Not known.

Asa G. Bushnell, cashier of the Yale
National Bank in New Haven, Conn,
shot himself a short time before the
opening of the bank Tuesday and died an
hour and half later. One of the direc-
tors declared that a hasty examination
of the books showed that the cashiers
accounts were in perfect order and that
there was no reason to suppose that MI.
BuShnelrs suicide was connected with
his affairs ut the bank. United States
Bank Examiner Burroughs was at the
bank for his semi-annual examination
when the cashier shot himself, but an
official secuted the idea that fear of the
discovery of shortage led to the act.
The official said that he believed Mr.
Bushnells mind had become dcranged by
overwork and physical iniirmity. Mr.
Bushnell had been connected with the
institution for tWenty-one years.

VITAL ORGANS MISPLACED.

Stomach and Heart on Right Side.

Man Lived with One Lung, Enormous
Stomach and Heart on Right Side.
Surprising discoveries were made at
post-mortem examination Of the body of
William Allison, 81 years old, who died
in Brookings, s. d., after ten days i'll
ness, apparently from inflammation of
the stomach. The young man several
times during his illness said he had been
poisoned, The surgeons were astonished
to find II peculiar displacement of the
internal organs. There was an opening
through the diaphragm, and the stomach
was nearly three times normal size, com
pletely filling the left side of the thoracic
cavity, taking the place Of the left lung.
There was no left lung. The heart was
on the lower right side of the thoracic
cavity The young man had never been
i'll, and this is the reason his peculiar
condition had not been disclosed. The
case is believed to be one of the most re-
markable in the history of surgery.

NUN lUlh. Weekly Review of Tsuds
Developments are not encourop i,r
to cotton spinning, but there Is evidence
pr better conditions in the iron and stooI
Industry, while retail trade feels w.
usual impetus as the holidays approach
ldleness among New England lumher
mills Is offset by increased activity in
the South. Owing to pressure of grain
there is still delay in handling freicbt
promptly at n few western points. Int
Rs rule traffic facilities are adeouota
and railway earnings for November show
IN average gain of per cent over last
year. 1t is significant evidence Of tbo
attitude of consumers that while iho
output of pig iron declined to about
100000 tons in November the lowest
point in several years, furnace stocks
rose to 65S, 107 tons, exceeding al re.
cent records. Such a striking discern.
ancy indicates clearly the extent of con.
traction in this leading branch of mann.
facture. From present indications il
seems almost certain that the situation
will show some improvement by the end
of this month, although inventories al.
ways retard operations during Decem.
Der.
Footwear manufacturers report new
business seasonably quiet, but plants ara
taxed to their full capacity, in most cases
on old orders, and western jobbers are
expected to place liberal supplementary
contracts. Further gains are recorded
In hides, both domestic and foreign. Cot
ton spinning is completely demoralizcd
by the raw material situation, The mar
gin between buyers and sellers has wild.
ened and little new business is reported.
Quotations of cotton goods arc now prac-
tically nominal In the wooden goods
division new lines OF overcoatngs have
been opened at n slight decline below
last seasons prices, and there is no i'm
provement in other branches of the in
dustry.

the United States, against 2G9 last
