Wilde, the young West Point cadet who
has been kept out of the Military Acade-
my for year because one of his legs
was shorter than the other will be able
to resume his work at the Government
college in a few weeks.
Last September Wilde's right leg was
broken, and when the bones mended the
limb was found to be shorter than its
mate. Unable to return to West Point
with a crippled leg, Wilde underwent
the worst form OF physical torture
known to surgical practice. On the adj
vice of eminent surgeons he was brought
to the Polytechnic Hospital here The
bones of the leg were rebroken and
fragments removed. Weights were then
attached to the leg by a rope and pulley
and the leg drawn up from the cot and
suspended. For nearly two months
Wilde lay patiently in the same position
almost unable to sleep. The weights
were removed few days ago and the
surgeons found that the operation had
been complete success. The leg had
been stretched to its normal length.

Delicate Operation on a Man Who Had Been
Stabbed.

New York (SpeciaD.-Three stitches
were put in the heart of Anthony Savage,
20 years old, by DR. Blaisdell, surgeon in
charge at the Eastern District Hospital,
Brooklyn. The operation, which physi-
clans believe will save the life of Savage,
took one hour and IS minutes, and dur
ing the whole of that time the left lung
and heart were exposed to the view of
the physicians, who watched the deli
cate organs perform their functions.
Savage was stabbed IS times during
fight a week ago. Friday he collapsed,
and Dr. Blaisdell decided that he was
suffering from internal hemorrhages.
He decided an operation was the only
thing that would be of any use.
He found the pleural cavity filed with
blood and the auriele punctured. The
blood was drained and the wound in the
auriele sewed up. Savage rallied after
the operation, and it is believed that he
will recover.

local assistance is gloomy.
