WIRE IN MANS HEART
A REMARKABLE OPERATION or
PHILADELPHIA PHYSICIANS.
Negro Afflicted with Aneurism of the
Aorta-SilVer Thread is Coiled
Inside Organ and Then
Taken Out Again.

: delphia.-Nature and a silver
wire 20 feet long saved the life of
Fred Williams at the end Of one of
the most remarkable operations on
record.
. II was for aneurism of the aorta.
and was performed on Williams in
the hedico-C -Chirurgical hospital by Dr.
James P. Mann.
! Williams, who is SO years old, a ne
gro barber and a man of wonderful
vitality, noticed a swelling on his
breast some time ago, and went TO the
Medico- -Chirurgical hospital There he
was placed upon the operating table
without having been etherized. A hol
low needle vas plunged into the aorta
and through this the silver wire was
fed from a spool The thickness of
the wire was about that of a No. go
cotton thread AS the wire was fed
into the great blood vessel it coiled
Itself closely in the form of cylinder
which fitted Exactly the inner surface
Of the affected part.
J.. Then the needle was withdrawn and
the little wound made by it was
dressed.
The process that was then set up in
the weakened part was this:
The blood clotted over the wire and
organized" a new wall, Strengthening
j that which had been weakened by the
aneuritic growth.
The operation was performed two
months ago. Last week he came into
the hospital with blood trickling
steadily from a pin hole in his chest.
The inteTne and the nurses who saw
the trickle We're alarmed and sent for
the surgeons
Again Williams was placed upon the
operating table The blood was found
/ to be coming from a wound from
which protruded the tip of the silver
wire that had been coiled inside his
aorta. With infinite care the whole
strand was taken out, and then, to the
/ amazement of everybody. the bleeding
, stopped.
J There is every indication that the
barber is now absolutely well, and
that the new inner coating of the
! aorta is sufficiently strong 10 reinforce
the weakened tissue that lies outside
/ it.

life and work every day without IA

because she had routed a burglar.
Miss Hobbs and her parents had
been seated on their front steps for
some time when Miss Hobbs went in
to the house for a letter she wanted
to mail
Suddenly there was crash within.
Mr.. Hobbs rushed into the house. His
daughter was standing near window
holding an atomizer in her hand. An
odor of lilac filled the room. The win
dow was open.
oh, you ought to have seen him
run" laughed the girl. Il guess this
gun of mine scared him more than he
did me"
Miss Hobbs then told her father
that on entering the room she had dis
covered the burglar. She took the
atomizer from a bureau and Eurned
the stream of perfume on the in-uder.
He jumped through the window.
The same burglar is believed to
have robbed several houses in the
same neighbOrhOOd of small sums.
Miss Hobbs said: Il surprised him
as much as he startled me. But, oh.

NOT ELKs' TEsTH AT ALL.
Commercial Article Made from Bone,
Declares Fur Buyer.

Kansas City, Mo.-Local hide and
fur dealers are laughing right loud
over the news from Philadelphia that
the Elks adopted the plan of discard
the elk's tooth as the emblem of the
order so that there may be an end
to the wholesale slaughtering of the
elk"
Jewellers who handle elks' teeth say
the stocks are low, and that they have
not been added to in the last two
years, but that the price has Jumped
from so cents to SO per pair for the
teeth. NJ. Lyons, who has been buying
furs in Kansas City for a quarter of a
century, declared that so cents a pair
would be robbery for the commercial
"elk's tooth" of to-day.
Because the supply is so great"
was his reason. The Elks need not
worry about the supply. running out
so long as Armour is running and has
a bone pile Armour sorts the bones
for knife handles, piano keys and elks'
teeth, among other things The Best
People on Earth may weep as they
sit in their lodges, for the slaughter OF
The poor elk that the members may
have their teeth chattering all over
their watch chains. their coat lapels,
and in their pockets, but il would be
going too far to stop the industry OF
hunting the elk's tooth. The clubman
who thinks the eIk's tooth is hunted in
the far north might be shocked to
learn that it is hunted in the bone
pile The dentists might tell him
something about the porcelain elk's
tooth"
About how many elk hides a year
does your house get?" was asked, eX-
pecting the reply to be several thou
sand
Not over a couple, it was thought.
How many elk hides are sold annu-
ally in the entire United States?"
Not over 100"
How many are shot by private
hunting parties and the hides carried
home?"
Not over 200 elk a year are shot on
the continent" the fur buyer declared
ruthIessly.
That means not over 400 elks'
| teeth available for the clubmen?" was
suggested.

Mr.. Mutt is the son of former Coun-

all the while the Raritan river. which

New Jersey. kept dwindling until only
a tiny stream found its way through
its great bed. The intake of the Rar-
itan wooden mills was left dry, and
there scarcely was enough water in
the wells to supply the big boilers of
the mill.
The Raritan wOOlen mills are owned
BY the Einstein estate and employ
more than 1000 operatives. While
the managers of the mills were inclined
TO do all they could TO honor Dukes
bride they suddenly we're confronted
by a business proposition which led
them to summon Manager Smith, of
the Duke estate, to look over the stu
alton.
Mr.. and Mrs. Duke had just left the
estate for "a three weeks auto tour,
and the manager decided there was no
need 10 proIong the display and agreed
TO stop the drain from the river and
give the mills a fair share Of the
water. so The Duke pumping plant was
closed down and the river will be
allowed its normal 5ow for several
days.
