THE OLDEST CONVICT.
"Uncle Bill" Nelly Celebrates His
 Eighty-Fifth Birthday.

New York, Sept 11.-William Kelly, known among his fellow prisoners as Uncle Bill" celebrated yesterday in Sing Sing his S5th birthday. He is the oldest convict in the state and has been inearcerated longer than any person now in a New York state institution.
 Kelly was placed behind the bars thirty-four years and four months ago for murder in the second degree, com mitted in Queens county. The judge and, so far as known, all the jurors have long since joined the great ma jority.
 In celebrating his anniversary Kelly seated himself in his big arm chair while the other eonvicts passed by, each shaking his hand and wishing him success in efforts soon to be made for procuring his pardon.
 After Kelly had been in prison for a little more than twenty years he be- came stone blind. For twelve years he sat in darkness. Then New York professor visited Sing Sing. In pass ing through the hospital ward he no- ticed the blind convict
 T should think this case ought to be eured,' remarked the specialist. Kelly agreed to an operation, saying he could not be made any binder. The operation was success and the old mans sight was completely restored.

NEW YORK SCHOOLS.
Opened this Morains With Seant
 Accommodation.

New York, Sept 11.-Greater New York's public schools will open this
 morning and in many buildings chll- dren will march Into the class rooms as the carpenters, plumbers and other mechanics march out. Every available artisan has been employed day and night since last Friday on the unfin- ished buildings, and sittings have been provided for thousands of pupils in structures that were in little more than skeleton form short time ago.
 Still, with all the extraordinary ef- fort and close figuring, officials of the board of education can only guess at the number of children who will be unable to find accommodation in l4e class rooms today. The most reliable estimates indicate that there will be 75, GOO to S0,0O0 children this year in half time classes. Last year there were S1,31S at the end of the first weeks registration, but before the closing of the schools last spring that number had been diminished to 66,394. It is estimated, however, that not fewer than 100000 children will be registered before the end of the week.

MEN WITH MONKEY HEARTS.
Chicago University Experimentcrs
 Hope to Make the Change.

Chicago University Experimenters
 Hope to Make the Change.
 CHICAGO, Sept. II. - Experiments which may result in knowledge per hitting grating of the heart of one animal upon another have been made by Dr. Gutherie and Dr, Carrell of the University of Chicago. Hearts of dogs have been successfully moved up into the animals necks and there per formed their functions.
 Circulation of the blood in dogs has been reversed without killing the ani- nal, and many new things about heart action have been learned, according to Dr. Carrell, who will begin new exper- iments early in October.
 "What we have learned" said Br. Carrell, gives us hope that some day we may replace a wounded or worn out heart in human being with the healthy, youthful and strong one from living monkey"
 In his laboratory Dr. Carrell has switched the circulation of his dogs from some arteries, leaving them dry for time, thus opening possibilities for new methods of surgery in cases of violent Injuries. One of the dogs selected for experimenting was lack ing in the usual amount of hair. His circulation was switched to cure a goitre with success, and, according to Dr. Carrell. hair began to grow in places apparently bald.
 In another experiment the surgeon sawed off a dogs leg and then grafted 1t on again without doing the animal permanent injury.
 Dr. Carrell was formerly a surgeon in the French army and is at the Uni versity of Chicago only to conduct his experiments.
 This work Is only in Its infancy he said. T expect It will be carried on by others until finally it will be of great and lasting benefit to mankind"

BAku STILL UNSAFE.
An Appealing Message From Director of the TechnoIogicaI Institute.

An Appealing Message From Director
 of the TechnoIosicaI Institute.
 TELLS, Sept. 1.-The governor of Baku reports that firing still contin- ues, but on a smaller scale. and that few were killed or wounded. The troops and police. he says. are still en- gagged In preventing incendiarism and pillaging. The director of the Techno- logical institute at Baku telegraphs, saying. "We are starving and dying" and imploring the dispatch of necessi- ties.
 The worst news comes from the Zan. grezurski district, where it is reported that many Armenian villages were wiped out and hundreds of persons killed Help is slow in reaching there owing to the distance from the mili- tary centers. The whole of the Tartar population has risen and has been join cd by 4.O00 armed Kurds from the Persian bank of the Alas river. The viceroy has protested 10 the Persian authorities.
 General ShiriHkin has ordered the governor of Elizabethpol to investigate the truth of accusations against some of the Tartar police commissaries that they gre cooperating with the insur- gents.
 It is reported that the Armeulans and Tartars in Shusha have become reconeIIed. that the population has been disarmed and that the foreign residents have returned to their homes. General Takaixchwils teIegraphs that the disorders are easing.

CLOSE CALL FOR CAR
Left Track and Nearly Pluasea nso
 Laie Whitney.

Yesterday was another big day in regard to the cash taken in by the trolley company and the crowds which scrambled on the cars were enormous. On the local lines everything went along all right with the exception of q hot box on one of the cars. One or the drawbacks was the lack Of cars and it is strange why more than one is not run over the Cheshire division, at least on Sunday afternoons. It IS rough, jostling crowd which strus- gles for the cars in the center, an1 @omen and children are very liable 0o be injured. An extra car would @Aiminate all this and 1t could be put @n without much trouble. If every thing went smoothly within the city it was not so further out. The car. which left Mount Carmel about 3sSO jumped the tracks twice on the way to New Haven and caused a delay or more than an hour, The first time it was passing over a switch where the accident occurred but it was placed upon the tracks again without much trouble. The second time very serious accident almost occur red. As the car was crossing tue bridge on Lake Whitney it left the rails and started for the water. AS Il happened to be going slow at the time the motorman brought it to stand still about three feet from the water. The passengers were thoroughly frightened and all heaved a sigh of re- lief when they saw that. they were not to take plunge in the cooling waves. The wheels of the car tore up the bridge considerably. The con struction car was sent for and about fifteen minutes after it's arrival the car was again on the tracks. From inc above you can see the joys of troll lev riding The people who were on the iIl.fated car left Waterbury at Z D. m. and arrived in New Haven a1 5:3o. Almost walk it in that tune.
