Los ANGELES, July 10.-An opin-
ion handed down in the appellate court
Satu nay afirms the decision of the ,u-
perior court in the damage suit o.
Alice c.. McGhee against the Schiff-
man Method Dental Company. Miss
McGhee was awarded $2400 dam
ages. The plaintiff visited the offices
of the company December I, 1908, for
t~hepurpose of having seven teeth ex-
tracted. Six were removed successful
ly, but the seventh slipped on the
forceps and was drawn into the right
lung of the plaintiff.
The dental company, in making its
application for appeal, asserted that
negligence on the part of the company
extended only to letting the tooth drop
into the mouth of the plaintiff, who,
having control of her muscles, was re-
sponsible for drawing the extracted
tooth into her lung. This claim was
~d.scredited by the TACT that Miss NJ
Gehee was under al anaestnetIc a.
the time.
The court held that the defendant
was l,giseLt in letting the tooth drop
into the mou,h and failiLg TO recovef
it, and that the question Of how IL
reached the lung had no bearing o.
the case.

Musetta- takes the earrings from her
ears that she may pawn them and get
medicine for the dying girl, Collins
takes off his old green coat, and after
apostrophizing it with humorous
pathos, takes it Ground the corner''
and soon returns with two or three
pieces of silver. A pathetic scene is
afforded by the sight Of Rudolph and
Musetta preparing the medicine and
speaking so scheerfully about Mimi S
recovery before discovering that her
spark of life has fickered out. The
climax comes with Rudo1ph's realiza-
ton Of the truth. y - -. a
Music Is, Lively.
Puccini' s musical setting is more
than ordinarily beautiful. For the
comedy which forms SO large a. part
Of the opera, the scoring is exception
ally dainty, and the most charming
effects are. produced with violins,
pizzicato, combined with harp and
with 'cellos and horns cantabile.. The
melodies are almost of lifting char
1 acter, and for that reason are, most
welcome to all singers. At least a
dozen Of the daintiest and most en-
4trancing airs fall to Rudolph and to
Mimi. H.. -...-.. X -.
| ? a fine number is the love duet in
| the first act, which ends with the kiss
and Minis shocked surprise. For this
latter feeling the orchestra plays a
| rich, sustained chord, followed by a
merry threefour time Tilt of pure joy.
Mimi s solo, ~ know not Why is
also delightful melody, while the
scenes of the burning of the new
drama in order to warm up the attic
for the dramatist and his friends is
treated with a mock tragedy which is
most humorous.
In the fourth act there is a fine de
l.scriptive passage showing the sorrow
q of the artists for their departed sweet
/ hearts, the effect in the orchestratior
4 being produced by beautiful dinlin
Euendo. Passionate strains of the horns
I and trombones illustrate the death ..
Mimi, while Rudolph's sorrow is alst
4 well represented.
