Testimonial to Galusha A. Grow.

Among the distinguished men who retired
from public life at the close Of the Fifty
seventh Congress none is held In higher es-
TEEN By his colleagues than Galusha A
Grow, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES from Penn
sylvania. AS a token Of their regard for
him the members Of the Pennsylvania con-
gressional delegation, at a meeting attended
by every member. adopted unanimously q
preamble setting forth in eulogistic terms
the unusual character and duration Of Rep
resentative Grows services to his state and
to his country. and a resolution expressive
of the regret felt by all on account of his
retirement from Congress. The preamble
recited that his services in Congress began
nearly half century ago; that in 1851 he
achieved the high honor OF being elected
Speaker Of the House of Representatives:
that In 1896 he received plurality of 297-
446, the largest ever given any candidate
for office In any state of the union; and
that, while his name has been identified
with many great public measures, the act
which he is justly entitled to claim as his
own is the free homestead law, under
which the public domain has been turned
from wilderness into a world of happy
homes IF he had no other claim to re-
membrance and gratitude Of his country
men, his efficient services as the chief pro-
moter of the homestead act would be suf-
ficient to write his name among those whom
they delight to honor"

every action, her voice, her stare, her

you not seen such a person, and felt a
lump rise in your throat as you tried to
offer her some cheering word, some sug-
'gcstion of comfort If after seeing such

indelible on your mind, SO that you would
remember her for days and weeks, you
should suddenly run across the same per-

RARE SURGICAL OPERATION.
One-Third Of a Mans Body Removed
to Save His Life.

A special to the New York World from
Philadelphia yesterday says: For the first
time in America. one of the most wonderful
operations known in the science of surgery
was performed today at the Jefferson Hos
pital by Prof. w. w. Keen. The patient,
man about forty years old, was under the
knife for almost three hours, and at the
completion Of the operation one-third Of his
body had been removed.
In this case the patient was doomed to
speedy death unless there was surgical in
reference. He suffered from osteo, or bone
sarcoma Of the pelvis. which involved the
area between the hip and lower ribs Of the
left side. Sarcoma is a malignant humorous
growth. This sarcoma, which involved the
Emphatic glands, lay against the stomach.
and was surrounded by the principal ar
teries OF the body.
Because of the position Of the sarcoma,
removal of the left leg and thigh. the hip
joints and pelvis and the infected area,
which extended up to the ribs, was neces-
sary. There was a bare chance that he
would recover.

number of skin tumours - small
ones ON my arms which had never
given me serious trouble; but about
two years ago one came on my
throat. At first it was only about as
large as pinhead, but, as it was in
a position where my collar, if not
just right, would irritate it, it soon
became very sensitive and began to
grow rapidly. Last spring it was
as large, if not larger, than q bean.
A little unusual irritation of my
collar started it to swelling, and in
a day or two it was as large as
half an orange. I was very much
alarmed, and was at a loss to de-
termine whether it was a carbuncle
or a malignant tumour.

BILL INTRODUCED, II, $50.
Over 1000 Were Passed by the Re-
cent Congress.

The number of bills introduced during the
Fifty-seventh Congress aggregated 1850,
of which 3,81S were reported and more than
1000 passed. The House calendar is clearer
at the close Of this Congress than it has
ever been before, only seventy-eight bills
remaining undisposed Of. In the Fifty-fifth
Congress 2,114 bills were reported and 1 Alb
passed; in the Fifty-sixth, 2.7S7 were re-
ported and 2.2O4 passed. The nearest ap-
proach to the number Of bills introduced in
the Fifty-seventh was in the Fifty-sixth
Congress, when 1889 were brought in, and
the greatest number reported was in the
Forty ninth Congress, the aggregate being
4.1S1.
The number of private bills passed by this
Congress has been exceedingly large.
Fifteen members Of the House died during
the Congress just closed, an unusually large
number.

Ifany one will stop and think minute,
and ascertain how "Blood Wine" works,
he will readily see why it cures disease.
Consumption is produced by a little germ
not one but millions. When the lungs
are weak they swarm into them, and
gnaw down the paper like walls. This
decomposition of the lungs is consump-
ton. These germs only thrive where
there is weakness. The person neverlived

prevents consumption by keeping the
