MODERN surgery accomplisbes
new wonders every now and then
in these days. The latest is re
ported from Philadelphia where
a girl had been shot through the
spine by d jealous sweetheart.
The spinal cord was severed by
the surgeons, the shattered bones
removed and the cord was sewed
together with gold threads. The
wound was inflicted in January,
1901, and the girl has been in
the hospital for two years but
lately has recovered feeling in
her lower limbs and is able to
walk with assistance.

BUSINESS.

Business conditions and pros
poets have not been so satisfac-
tory for months as they are to-
day. The commercial failures
which showed such a decline In
both May and June show still
further falling off for July, the
liabilities of July, 1904, being
only $S,S12, 097 as compared with
$16,751, 245 a year ago. Savings
bank deposits are still increasing
in industrial centers, there hav-
ing been an increase of deposits
to the amount of $54, 672, 1892 in
New York State alone during
the past year ending June Both.
Renewed confidence is shown
IN iron and steel circles; there
is much steadier tone in the
dry goods market and the trad
ing in the wool market is unpre-
cedent.
Confidence seems to pervade
all industrial and commercial
centers. This is seen particu-
larry in the early fall buying and
the orders for new equipment
and extension of railroads and
general construction. Railroads
are showing increased earnings
and the prospects for fall busl-
ness both In moving of crops and
general merchandise transporta-
ton is fully up to last years re-

outlook is the most satisfactory
bulletin of.the Bureau of Labor
showing Athst the purchasing
power of the masses is still in
creasing, wages having advanced
in greater ratio than cost of llv-
ing. Many mills will soon start
up after few weeks of idleness
and in spite of labor troubles in
some centers there is an under
tone of confidence throughout the
country. This will increase from
