Several clerks in the Post Office Depart
ment who have been handling reports from
the rural free delivery carriers in various
parts OF the country have become panic
stricken because OF an order dispensing

attention OF the fourth assistant nostmas ter
general today he stated that, although that
division would be dispensed with, the clerks
would be transferred to another division
where extra help is badly needed When
this news reached the division In question
there WAS general sigh of relief.

FINAL BREAK WITH MURPHY.
Mayor Mcclellan Cuts the Gable for
Good and All.

Mayor Mcclellan and Charles f. Murphy
are parted for good and all, according 20
opinions of democrats in New York yester-
day, who said they spoke by the card.
Neither the mayor nor Mr.. Murphy would
say a word for publication. 1t was learned,
though, that shortly before and since Janu-
airy l Frank O'Donnell had been the 60
between between the mayor and Mr.. Muir
ply, and that the mayor had become so
nettled at Mr. Murphy's attitude toward
him because of his appointments that he
had instructed Mr.. O'Donnell to bring him
no more messages from Mr.. Murphy, and
had said that he would have no commune
cation with Mr.. Murphy, oral or written.
Coming on top of this statement was an
other to the effect that Representative Tim
othy j. Sullivan had personally informed
Mr.. Murphy that he could not hope to re-
main leader of Tammany, and that the
quicker he became convinced of this the
better 1T would be for. the organization
Mr.. Sullivan last night would not speak of
anything that had occurred at any inter-
view between MIR Murphy and himself.

A REMARKABLE OPERATION.
Kidney Taken Outside for Removal of
Stone.

An operation with an unusual feature was
performed yesterday at Roosevelt Hospital,
in New York. A private patient had been
kidney The exact location of distractions
of this sort is sometimes determined by the
X-rays before the etheriZation of the pa
tent. The surgeon in charge of the case
decided yesterday to find the stone, which
was very small, by putting the organ to the
rays after taking it out of the body.
The patient after being etherized, was
laid face down. About dozen medical
men were present. 1t was essential that
the operation should be swift. A sweep of
the knife over the affected part revealed
the kidney. Within minute the surgeon
had the kidney out as far as he could get
it readily He held it in his hand If it
were not an essential possession of the I'M
conscious gentleman prone below 1t, and
with the Horoscope found the almost
microscopic stone, to which the lance
forceps gripped the little stone and the at
tending doctors were inspecting it. Within
about seven minutes after the first stroke
of the knife the kidney had been put back
in place and the lips of the slit in the back
sewn together. Fifteen minutes later the
patient was back in his room. The opera
ton is said to be one of the first in which
an affected organ has been searched by
X-rays after removal from the body. Its
quickness and thoroughness, it was said by
a doctor present, were assurances of its
success. The same doctor said he did not
see why the liver, or some other vital
organs could not be examined in the same
him to presage splendid possibilities in
surgery.

Trolling For TarDOn,

It is not easy to hook a tarpon while
trolling, for his mouth is very hard,
says Julian A. .Dimock in Country Life
In America, and much skill may doubt,
less here be shown. In the playing OF
the fish the work is about the same as in
still fishing save that more care must be
used as the hook is probably not firmly
Embedded. An old fisherman told me that
he liked to be sure Of his fish and 50
preferred still fishing, but to my mind
it is one Of the objections to that meth
cd. Another and stronger objection is
the disturbance Of my feelings in think
ing that I am pulling against fish's
"in'ards." If the line does break the
chance of the victims being able to
free himself from the hook is problem
atical, while in trolling it is the work
Of minute after. the strain is off the
line until sore mouth is the only
symptom remaining. !

When watches were New.


At first the watch was about the size
OF dessert plate. 1t had weights and
was used as a pocket clock" The
earliest known use of the modern name
occurs in the record of 1862, which
mentions that Edward VI. had zone
larum or watch of iron, the case being
likewise of iron gilt, with two plum.
NETS of lead" The first watches may
readily be supposed to have been OF
rude execution. The first great, i'm
provement, the substitution Of springs
for weights, was in 1850. The earliest
springs were not coiled, but only
straight pieces of steel. Early watches
had only one hand, and, being wound
up twice day, they could not be ex-
pected to keep time nearer than fifteen
or twenty minutes in the twelve hours.
The dials were Of silver or brass. The
cases had no crystals, but opened at
the back and front and were four or
five inches in diameter A; plain watch
cost the equivalent of 81 900 in our cur
rency, and after one was ordered 1t
took year to make it.
