the operation.
Senator Clark's immediate family is in Paris.

son-in-law, DR.. Morris, and his private secre-

Last night the private secretary gave the fol-
lowing statement:
Owing to a slight trouble with his middle
ear since his former operation for mastoiditis,
Senator W. A. Clark decided to have a radical
operation performed, which was successfully
done to-day at his residence by DR.. James +.
McKernon. The Senator is convalescing rapidly
and expects to be about in few days

that operation was imperative on acoa,.-s. :.
of the Senator's critical condition. Arrai4ge
ments were made at dice. with the entire con-
sent OF Senator Clark who understood that the
operation was in the nature of a last resort to
save his life.
At z o'clock yesterday afternoon he was placed
under the influence of anesthetics and the op-
Grafton begun. The skull trepanned. a piece
OF bone about two inches by one 'nch aud one
half being removed 1t was found that the
abscess had resulted from sUppuration of the
middle ear on the left side. The bone had be-
come diseased, and the pus had burrowed its
way TO the brain. 1t was necessary to remove
a portion Of the bone at the base Of the brain
at the left side.
The present illness resulted from an attack of
pneumonia the Senator had last February. Sem
ator Clarke never fully recoverd from this sick
ness, and three weeks ago he was seized with
violent pains in the left side of his head An
examination showed that an acute infiammatio
Of the middle ear resulting from the pneumonia
had never wholly subsded.
At 11:35 o'clock DR.. McKernon, who had just
left the bedside Of the Senator, said that the
patient was doing nicely and that his condition
was favorable that he did not think it would
be necessary TO return until this morning, unless

How Javanese Settle Quarre1s.

The Javanese manner of settling
quarrels is quite original. When one
man has offended another the injured
party gives notice that he is angry by
drawing in the sand before the door
of the offender a circle with straight
line across it, indicating that his af-
lection, which would have been eter-
nal, has been cut in two. Friends of
both parties then shut them up. They
parley awhile, then pretend to be borK
again, prattIe as little children and final.
ly as men become reconciled and en-
brace. Should one be refractory and
refuse to be conciliated he is ostracized
by the community so effectually that
he is soon brought to terms. 1t is lust
possible that our enlightened citizens
might consider this method better than
knockdown arguments and certainly
much cheaper than going to law.

Long Life.

Weber sums the main points to be
observed by those DESTROYS Of long
life as follows: First, moderation in
eating, drinking and physical fndul-
Eence; second, pure air out the house
and within; third, the keeping of every
organ of the body, SO far as possible in
constant working order; fourth, regu-
lar exercise every day in all Weathers,
supported in many cases by breathing
movements and by walking and climb
ing tours; fifth. going to bed early and
rising early and restricting the hours
of sleep to six or seven hours; sixth,
daily baths or additions, according to
individual conditions, cold or warm or
warm followed by cold; seventh, regu-
lar work and mental occupation;
eighth, cultivation of placidity, cheer
fulness and hopefulneSS of mind; ninth,
employment of the great power of the
mind in controlling passions and nerv.
Gus fear; tenth, strengthening the will
in carrying out whatever is useful and
in checking the craving for stimulants,
anodynes and other injurious agencies.

GOVERNMENT SCORES VICTORY,

The United States Supreme Court
In the case of the United States VS.
Swift x Company has just rendered a
unanimous decision in favor of the
Government and which perpetuates
the injunction issued by the lower
Federal court at Chicago from which
an appeal had been taken for the dis
solution of the injunction. The dec1s-
ion of the Supreme Court prohibits
he continuance of the combination of
beef packers to suppress competition
in the purchase of cattle for slaughter,
to fix the price of meats throughout
the country, and to secure d'scrimina-
tory rates from the railroad companies
The decision of the highest court in
the land fully sustains the contention
that the combine of Western packers
is an oppressive monopoly which,
| through its operations, has crushed IN.
dependent concerns, destroyed compe
tit1on and compelled consumers to pay
the extortionate prices it fixed for fresh
meats. 20 far as the courts decision
goes it is a sweeping victory for the
government, but 1t remains to be seer
whether the Beef Trust will obey tht
injunction to cease Its violation of thu
Sherman anti trust law. The chance
are that the opinion will stick, and thu
wrongs inflicted by the combine viii
be righted by law. And if victor,
can be won over one Trust it can owe
another. While the Beef Trust affect
ed the entire country, the people O
this section are more vitality intereste,
in others nearer home. Among thes
may be mentioned the insurance trus
and the fertilizer trust. Why shout
not legislation apply to these to tn
= end of fair competition and lowe
prices to consumers? The Beef Trus
may be bigger combine than the 10
surance Trust, but it is not more over
bearing and dicsatorial, IS property
owners in Americas as elsewhere WI
r bear witness.

Disadvantages of an Even Tenn

Disadvantages of an Even Temper.
1t is usual to envy the even tempered
people-those who are never unduly
elated or cast down, who knit on
plain" all the time. If one like that sort
Of thing it would be equally natural
to envy the animals-cows and pigs, for
inStance-whose serenity is seldom dis
turbed. For my part think those even
tempered people lose nine-tenths of the
pleasure of existence The depths of
grief and gloom into which impulsive
people are thrown are amply made up
for by the equally unreasonable and
unreasoning joy into which they spring
at the slightest possible excuse, and
the sorrow of a quarrel with a dear
one is paid for in the delight of max
ing up" Parents are very apt to i'm
press on their children the beauty of
this even disposition, but so far as /
can see the only benefit derived from
it is an unwrinkled complexion.-Dona-
