into the big design of the brocade, and
small decorative figures are lightly
sprinkled in the background, or rather
the plain spaces of the material
An amusing feature about this piece
of brocade is that pretty nearly all the
wholesale silk dealers in New York
have bought hundreds and hundreds of
yards Of material said to be almost ex-
actly the same. Their consignments
will be delivered to them the day after
the wedding. One dealer was told that
maybe he win get his on the wedding
day
A big silk manufacturer laughingly
said: TT seems queer to buy lot OF
stuff that you don't know thing
about. I do not know whether I've
bought silk. satin. brocade, or what
only know I've bought a whole lot of
it, and don't even know the color. I'm
pretty sure, however. that It's either
gray or blue New York American.

Make Position Clear.

The Iowa democrats in their plat
form adopted at the late convention,
favor no half measures. They would
destroy all trusts, and declared for n
tariff for revenue only. I've believe, .
they said. lin tariff for revenue only,
and that there should be immediate re-
lief granted to the people who are now
being robbed by extortionase prices
eXacted under the shelter of tariff. We
believe the tariff should be removed
from all trust made goods and in the
removal of all duties on iron, steel.
lumber and coal We demand the en-
actment of such legislation as will eff
fectually destroy all trusts, and the
strict enforcement of all laws concern
ing the same" There certainly is no
ambiguity in that declaration, and how
ever much the republican voters of
Iowa may be disheartened at the ''un-
certain Utterances" of their own plat
form, they cannot mistake the demo
cratic position, which needs no slick
politician TO declare its meaning. for

DOGS LEG BONE IN A BOY.
Rare Surgical Operation Performed
In Detroit Hospital.

Rare Surgical Operation Performed
In n Detroit Hospital.
An opera ton which has aroused the
interest of medical men al over De-
troit was performed in Harper hos
pital recently by DR.. ii. o. Walker,
says q Detroit special dispatch TO the
New York World y portion Of the
fibula, or lower side cas, bone, of &
boy of twelve was removed and re-
placed by the corresponding portion of
the skeleton of young dog. The in
serted portion has joined the healthy
sections of the boys fibula and it is all
now growing as one piece.
Danny Buck is the son Of a wealthy
Lansing furniture man. The boy has
suffered from babyhood from a tend
ency to tuberculosis.
The boy lost the use of one of his
legs and was taken to Harper hospi-
tai, where DR.. II. o. Walker, DIR. Will
liam Seymour DIR. Frank Il. Allison
and other staff doctors of the hospital
We're called into consultation. They
were satisfied that some form of me-
croSis or death of the bone, had set
in. The boy was taken to the oper-
ating room and young dog. healthy
in every part. was also brought in.
The child and the dog were given an
anesthetic at the same time.
While the child'S bone was diScov-
cred by the sharp instruments of the
surgeons, the dogs right hind leg was
also opened. and while only the mid
die necrosed portion of the boys fibula
was carefully sawed away the fbula
of the dogs leg was entirely removed.
A portion exactly fitting into the re-
naming healthy portions of the boys
bone was taken from the fibula of the
animal The piece was fitted into the
place left by the removed portion of
bone. Then the flesh of the leg was
brought around it az nature had framed
it before necrosis had set in.
As the operation was finished by the
surgeons the dog that had made it all
possible was allowed to die painlessly
by continued doses of chlorOform.
The boys leg was bound in a plaster
cast, and it seems to be improving
steadily. There is no discharge from
the wound. and there is every prospect
of complete success in the operation.
Danny Buck will probably grow to
manhood with the bone of dog as
part of his frame

On Line of Battle.

Now that all the conventions have
been held, all the candidates have been
nominated. and all the committeeman
have been elected, there is only one
place for democrats to be found. and
that is on the firing line fighting the
common enemy and endeavoring To
elect every democratic candidate. The
only thing that the democratic party
and the Individual members that make
up the party should consider at the
present time is the election of the
ticket. The only commendabIe thing
fer democrats TO do is to. work for the
success of the ticket. If there be those
VINO think we cannot overcome the
landslide of two years ago and elect
the state ticket, they will admit that
we can at least cut down the repubIi-
can plurality then piled up. redeem GER
tain congressional districts and win
out c. many county tickets. and this
is the work in hand for democrats at
this tire.
All 49, -e Offices are now held by

them if we can. Twenty-four out of
the twenty-five congressional districts

One of the most interesting members
of the American colony in Berlin at

Cotton Of EasthamptOn, Mass. Miss
Cotton is a student of orientalism and
comparative religion and mistress of
some 40 languages. In her girlhood
she had fine voice. which was train
ed in Paris by Manuel Garcia, but just
as she had arranged for her debut N
New York with Theodore Thomas she
was stricken with a throat affection
which put an end to her ambition for
a concert career. Then she took up
the study of languages.
