WIRE IN MANS HEART
A REMARKABLE OPERATION OF
PHILADELPHIA PHYSICIANS.
Negro Afflicted with Aneurism of the
Aorta-Siver Thread Is Coied
Inside Organ and Then
Taken Out Again.

Philadelphia.-Na 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.
1t was for aneurism of the aorta,
and was performed on Williams in
the Medico-Chirurgical hospital by DR..
James P. Mann.
Williams, who is 80 years old me-
gro barber and man of wonderful
vitality, noticed swelling on his
breast some time ago, and went to the
Medico-C hirurgical hospital. There he
was placed upon the operating table
without having been etherized. A hol
low needle was plunged into the aorta
and through this the silver wire was
fed from a spool. The thickness Of
the wire was about that of No. 60
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
Then the needle was withdrawn and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
"organiz-d j" new wall, strengthening
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 inferno and the nurses who saw
the trickle were 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,
There is every indication that the
barber is now absolutely well, and
that the new inner coating of the
aorta is sufficiently strong to reinforce
the weakened tissue that lies outside
it.

life and work every day without ia

the same time loss of &C children

That Evanston is a woman's para.
disc is shown in the census revelation
that there are 1868 more females than
males in the city. Last year the pre-.
ponderance of women was only 1,456,
but with AZ men gone there were
enough females born or who moved
into the town to add 612 to their ma
jority. In fact, the city's growth has
been entirely among it's feminine pop
ulation, no male having arrived to re-
place the AZ who departed. SO the
women have brought the total figures
to 24,324, an increase of 42S over last
year.

lem too deep for even President

matter how much the women might be
inclined toward matrimony, their OPP
portunities are lacking. Evanston will
become an old maids home"
A circumstance that has proved a
surprise is the growth of race suicide
among the negro population. Mr.. Nc
Culloch said that on Benson avenue,
and in other districts occupied by me-
groes, the number Of children was sur
prisingly small, not larger, in fact,
than in the homes of the rich whites.
Almost the only exception to the rule
Of small families among negroes was
| In the home Of Rev. Mr.. Gales, pastor
of the Second Baptist church, where
there was family of eight children.
University students were not In
cluded in the census. Had they been,
the total population would have been
nearly 1000 greater and the dispropor-
ton Of women even larger.

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"
jewelers. 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 $40 per pair for the
teeth. M. Lyons, who has been buying
furs in Kansas City for quarter of a
century, declared that so cents 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
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 it would be
going too far to stop the industry OF
hunting the elk's tooth. The clubmar

In that part Of the city given over to
luxury which furnished total popu-
lation of about 10000 in school dis

same number of children that there

wealthy homes was much better than
it would have been had it not been
that the maids and other servants

as among "the children"
And there are considerably less chill
dren altogether in proportion to adults
than there were year ago. Especial
ly in large districts of the city, which
show an increase in the total popula-

the city as whole there was an in

ALWAYS the PoIlteness.

A Germantown woman was not long
ago watching a workman as he put
up new window fixtures in her house.
Don't you think that you have placed
those fixtures too high?" asked she,
having reference to the curtain rolls
last put in place. The workman, a
stoid German, made no reply, but
continued to adjust the fixtures,

dare you be so rude?" Whereupon
the German gulped convulsiyely, and
then replied in the gentlest of voices:

WIfe's sneering Comment Met with
Sharp Answer.

Gelett Burgess at the recent dinner
OF the American Booksellers associa-

for her money. She was not pretty
girl, and as time passed and love
cooled, she developed a rather tart
tongue.
One day her husband bought with
his quarters allowance q 20-horse-
power automobile. He took the car
home gayly and brought his wife out
to the front door to look at 1t. She
gave one sneering glance, and then
said:
It's very fine, but If it hadn't
been for my money, 1t wouldn't be

pickets are not the only people who
force other people to quit work.

tractor for the city is at present en-

USED BY THE DOCTORS.
Ninety Per Cent Of the Drugs Pre-
scribed Are Patent Medicines.

Despite the opposition of physicians,
has been neither far reaching nor
profitable, to patent" medicines, nine
ty per cent Of all drugs that physi-
clans use are put up and compounded
by manufacturing concerns,-are, in
fact, patent" medicines just as truly
as if they were advertised in the
newspapers.
The average doctor knows little or
nothing of pharmacy and is, there
fore, glad to depend on the very medi-
cines, which in public he condemns,
just as he is obliged in many cases
tient himself, even while publicly de-
crying what he calls "selfdiagnosis."
How rapid has been the growth Of the
professional use of patent" or PRO
prietary" medicines is shown In an
article written for the Journal Of the
September 20, 1906, by A. jacob, M.
D., LII. d. He relates that $4,000 pre-
scriptions, compounded in several
drug stores were carefully examined.
From 1850 to 1870 no prescription was
found for patent" or proprietary"
medicines. In 1874 but one prescrip-
ton in 1900 called for ready-to-use
remedies. Between 1875 and 1880 the
number calling for patent" or pro
prietary" medicines equalled two per
cent of the total. This increased to
per cent in the period between 1880
and 1890. In 1896 it was ~ per cent
In 1898 it was 10 per cent, and in 1902
1903 was from 20 to % per cent.
DR.. jacob says that in a large
store he was assured that 70 per cent
of the prescriptions were for patent
or proprietary" medicines, and this
probably is approximately the correct
proportion at the present time. From
this it would seem that If the patent
and proprietary" medicines are good
enough for physicians to prescribe In
seven cases out of ten they are good
enough for family use in cases OF
necessity and where the symptoms
are we'll known and as easily under

Catch Is Woman's Scalp.

Hartford, Mich.-While fishing at
Hull lake, near here, men brought to
the surface pieces of woman's scalp
with long hairs attached. Late last

were at home no investigation was
made and nothing was said until the
piece OF scalp was found.
