HOLY BOYCOTT ON
BRITAIN IN INDIA
Bengalis by Thousands Swear by
Goddess Kali lot to Buy of
England.

Calcutta, Sept. 29.-Fifty thousand
Bengalis assembled at the temple of
Kalighat have sworn by the goddess
Kali to boycott British goods as a pro-
test against tho partition Of the pro-
vince Of Bengal. The administrative
work Of the province, according to the
views of the home and Indian govern
ments, had grown to such unwieldy pro-
portions as to necessitate division of
the labor. hence the partition Of the
province into two lieutenant governor
ships. The Bengalis are intensely re-
sentful at what they characterize as an
attempt to split the population and i'm
pair the Bengalis nationality. At
scores Of meetings thruout Bengal the
people have pledged themselves to sup
port the boycott, which has now re-
ceived the sanction Of the priests.
The scene at the temple Of Kalighat,
the greatest in Bengal, was striking
when the immense assemblage took the
oath: In the holy presence of the
goddess Kali not to use foreign goods,
buy articles in foreign shops when
available in native shops, or employ
foreigners on any work that can be
done by our countrymen
The high priest then placed a mystic
vermillion symbol on the forehead Of
each of those who took the oath.
The foreign firms are already feeling
seriously the effect Of the boycott. +

AN OLD GAME
IN A NEW PLACE
A CONFIDING AMERICAN ROBBED
BY LONDON CON MEN.
In Deal Which Exhibits the Rankness
of Some Mems Wits When They Get
Away from Home.
London Mail.

By means of the CONFIDENCE trick
young American gentleman, now on
visit to London, has just been robbed
of Bank of England notes to the value
Of f120. The three thieves, as is usual
in this class of fraud, got clear away
with their booty. ...-..: f..
It was on Tuesday last, in Tottenham
court road, that the American, Mr.. c.,
met a well-dressed man, who gave his
name as Williams, and who asked to
be directed to the British Museum.
Next day the two men met by appoint
ment, and lunched together at the Bed
ford Hotel After lunch they went into
the coffee room, where they met an
Irishman.
During a general chat the Irishman,
who said he was a Mr.. Fogarty, men
toned that rich uncle had recently
left him &S7 900 in cash, and real estate
IN India to the value of 100000:
"Fogarty' explained that he was glad
enough to get the money and the es-
tate, but that he was bothered by
clause in the will which directed him
to distribute $4,000 among the poor of
America, and a similar sum among the
poor of Australia.
Mr.. G., in, detailing the circumstances
under which he was robbed to a repre-
sentative of the Daily Mail, said it ap-
peared evident from the Irishman s talk
that he was ignorant about money mat
ters, and that he was being sWindled
right and left He (Mr. C.) therefore
advised him to distribute the bequest
thru lawy ers or bankers, but "Fogarty'
replied that he would not have more to
do with lawyers than he could help. In
the result "Fogarty" asked him if he
would undertake the distribution Of
the $4,000 in America, and accept &100
for his services.
On the following day, Thursday,
civilians introduced Mr.. Wilson,
an Australian, for whose responsibility
he vouched, as one who might be use
full in distributing the $4,000 in Aus
tralia.
The supposed rich man, "Fogarty,'
said he liked the bearing Of both Mr.. G.
and "Wilson, - and he would hand over
Is, 900 to each of them if they could
give some proof that they were men of
substance. If they accepted the trust
they would both have to report at reg
ular intervals to the Rev. Father Riley
as to the manner in which the money
was being expended.
The four men met later in the after
noon at a restaurant in Bloomsbury
Mr.. c. took with him bank notes to the
value of e120, and "Wilson' also pro.
duced what purported to be bank notes
The usual "to show confdence' propos-
al was made, and Mr.. c. handed over
his money to "Fogarty,' who with
"Wilson" and "Williams'' went out.

It Is Injected Into the Spinal Cord and
Isolates Any Part of the Body from
Communication with the Brain.

Back from Europe only last week
with an entirely new anesthetic, sto-
vaine, DR.. W. Wayne Babcock, chief of
the surgical staff of the Samaritan hos
pital, has performed, with its aid, a
remarkably successful operation. He
also made successful use Of the new
anesthetic, scopolamine, and under con.
any other anesthetlc extremely danger.
GUS to the success OF the operation and
the endurance Of the patient.
Injection of stovaine is made thru
the lumbar region Of the back into the
spinal cord, which cuts off all commu.
nication between the upper and lower
portions Of the body, and, in reality
acts like plug in a telephone switch
board. With the upper part Of the
body in natural condition, the brain
working and the patient thoroly con,
scious, the lower, or cutoff, portions
Of the body are as 80. much lifeless tim;
ber The patient rs unable to control
a single muscle below the dead line
and has no sensation whatever.
In the case Of the patient operated
upon, painful chronic sinus and vari-
cose veins were removed. The injection
caused what is technically known as
spinal anaesthesia. The patient did not
know the injection was being made
since the surgeons froze the skin Of the
back. q
During the operation the patient felt
no pain, and had he been lying in a diff.
ferent position could have seen the sur.
geons at work, tho he would have
had no sensation of pain, and might
have told stories to the enjoyment OF
the operators.
A previous use Of stovaine was made
at the time Of an operation upon Rus
sian Jew several days ago for the re
moval of large tumor.
Excellent results followed the use Ut
scopolamine. The patient was one suf
fering with cancer Of the face, which
extended down over the neck and in
Guided a portion Of the mouth. His con
stitution had been eakened by his long
illness, and the use Of ether or another
naesthetic would have been dangerous
Having once been under the influence
of ether the patient dreaded this drug
and readily consented to the use O
scopolamine.
He was given three injections Of SEQ
