TAMMANY RAT1F1Es TICKET
Bands Boom, Red Fire GIares and
Rockets Flash.

NEW YORK, October 24.-Tammany
gave touch of life to a dull campaipn
by having an unlooked-for amount of en-
thusiasm on tap last night at its ratifica-
tlon meeting at the 14th street headauar-
ters Charles F. Murphy had sent out
word to his district leaders that he want
ed things whooped up. and they did 1t.
Except for numbers. it was like an old
time Tammany ceebration. There were
bands, red fire, parades and fireworks.
out at no time during the night were
there more than 5000 persons in and
around Tammany Hail. Half a dozen
stands had been erected for speakers to
ADDRESS overflow meetings, but there was
no need for them
The hall was filled, but at no time was
there any great demonstration The audi
ence only let itself loose when W. Bourke
cochran referred to William r. Hearst.
Mr.. Cochran was the principal speak
er. From the beginning to the end OF
his speech he purposely ignored referring
In any general way to the issues of the
campaign, and confined himself entirely
to bellttling and condemning Hearst per-
sonally and Hearsts methods. ONLY in
cidentally were Mr.. Parsons and the re-
publican party brought to the attention
of the audience. From Mr. Cochran S
speech 1t would seem that the only issue
Tammany sees In this campaign is Hearst
and the effort to eliminate him from the
local political situa ton.
Mr.. Cochran twitted the republicans
for taking up Mr.. Hearst this year, after
their opposition to him last year, when
he ran for governor on the democratic
ticket

SUN BAD FOR CONSERVATIVES.
Startling Theory Advanced by Sur
geon Woodruff, q. 8. M. C..

RICHMOND, Va, October 24.-The
startling theory that sunlight is detri-
mental to the consumptive and that the
scientific principles upon which the treat
ment of tuberculosis is now based are
founded upon false .hypotheses was pre-
sented by surgeon of the United States
Marine Corps to the Richmond Academy
of Medicine and Surgery Tuesday night.
The assertion that consumptives should
be protected from sunshine, and that
climate such as is afforded by the cloudy.
foggy country along the coast of Maine
is most conducive to the relief of tuber-
culosis was made by Surgeon c. w. Wood
run. DR.. Woodruff is in charge Of the
medical corps stationed at the James,
town exposition. He responded to a spe-
cial invita- ton extended to him to ad-
dress the academy last night.
DR.. Woodruff created something of A
stir early in the meeting when he de-
clared that ether is a solid and that con-
temporary science was sadly ignorant
on this subject. Later in his discourse
DR.. Woodruff made his auditors sit up
and stare when he advanced his new
theories in reference to the treatment and
care of consumptives. He suggested the
neishborhood of Portland, Me, as the
proper climate for patients suffering with
tuberculosis of the lungs and throat and
declared that his theories were based
upon study, research, experiment and OBJ
servation extending through many years.

F0RDHAM PREPARING STOUT
CONTEST FOR GEORGETOWN

NEW YORK. October 24-Fordham n
duiged in some hard scrimmage work yes
terday against the scrub eleven, as Coach
Smith expects hard game for the home
eieven when Georgetown comes to New
YORK Saturday. The rivalry between the
two institutions is sufficient guarantee of
a stubbornly contested battre, although
the colleges have not been in the custom
OF having a struggle on the gridiron.
AS Fordham hopes to conquer the
Washingtonians Saturday, she has good
hopes of coming out on top among the
catholic colleges The victory over Frank
lin and Marshall Saturday last has not
allowed overconfidence to creep into the
play of the New Workers., and hard work
and plenty Of it is in store for the week
Scanlon and Sskind. who have been out
of the game, are rounding into form. and
Will be In good condition to play in the
coming contest. The varsity experienced
little difficulty in tearing up the scrub
eleven for long and frequent gains, the
backs plunSing through on nearly every
play. Smith Is devoting much attention
to the defensive play, which is likely to be
in for its share of hard work in the Sat
urday game. Capt Gargan and Fullback
Coney are giving their time to booting
the pigskin, as this is expected to enter
largely into the gains of the Fordhamiees.

RARE OPERATION AT HOPKINS.
Silver Wire Successfully Inserted
Into the Aorta.

BALTIMORE. October 24-With his
wife. graduate trained nurse, watching
the operation. Mr.. Albert Van Horn of
Newton. Mass. recently had several feet
of silver wire coiled into the arch of the
aorta. the main blood vessel Of the body,
by surgeon at the Johns Hopkins Hos
pital. The operation was watched with
great interest, and Mr.. Van Horn, a
man Of unusual constitution. rapidly.im-
proved and few days ago left the insti-
similar operation was recently performed
at the City Hospital
Mr.. Van Horn was brought to the hos
pital the latter part of September. He
was in critical condition. His family
physician diagnosed his troubles as
been made by Mr.. Van Horn to have the
swelling near the top of his chest re-
duced, but the attending physicians could
not cope with the trouble. Then Mrs
Van Horn. who was a trained nurse at
Canadian hospital before her marriage,
said that he must go to Baltimore.
ARRANGEMENTS were made at once and
the party arrived a few days later. An
operation was Immediately decided upon.
Mr.. Van Horn urged his wife to go into
the operating room and gave her the au-
thority to stop the operation of pushing
thought 1t advisable. He was put under
an anesthetic and after several hours
work several feet of wire coil were pushed
into the artery. Gradually he grew better
and soon recovered entirely.
The object of such an operation is to get
the blood in the artery to coagulate about
the wire. Gradually tissue will form, so
that the wire foundation will act as de-
fense for the walls Of the artery, which
threatened before the operation to col
lapse or burst.
