REPLACE BONE
WITH BONEWAX
New York Surgeons Initiate Method
Use in Vienna.

The surgeons of St. Gregory
hospital in New York formed ar
operation recently on a 6-year-old
Italian boy, Peter Lepari, Of
Brooklyn, by which they replaced
a portion of a necrotic bone of the
left forearm with a substance
known as "bonewax," which will
in time, the surgeons says, turn
into bone. The entire staff of the
hospital was present.
The surgeons said that the oper-
alton was one of the first of its
kind in this country and that with
out doubt it would be a success.
When the boy was brought to
the hospital, it was found that he
was suffering from a tubercnlar
bone in the forearm. Decomposi-
ton had set in. To prevent the
loss of the use of tile arm and the
complete removal of the bone it
was decided to bring the bone
wax" in use. An X-ray will be
used daily to watch the progress of
healing.
Bonewax" was discovered by a
German chemist ten years ago and
has been used in Vienna.

THE CITY MY BUILD. U4.
TERWORKS.

TER WORKS.
For four years now, the city o
Brownsville has been hoping agains
hope that some kind and benevolent
capitalists-out of the goodness Of
their hearts and for sheer pity Of
our waterless condition, if not as q
noney-making proposition-would
come and build a system of water
works here. Two franchises have
been granted for such an enter
prise, the first, to John w. Maxcy
of Houston about four years ago,
being merely for waterworks; the
second, to the Brownsville Water,
Light and Power Company nearly
a year ago, being for a water and
light system combined. The first
franchise, after going from pillar
10 post, begging for capital to back
It, and with repeated extensions
asked and granted, was finally re-
voked. The last has been extended
twice, and will expire by the end
OF this month, with very Slight
prospects SO far of the company's
being able to float bonds for the
purpose of raising funds, albeit
the company already has secured
subscriptions of home capital to the
amount of S22, 500. There is scarce
iy one of the promoters of this en-
terprise today that mas any hope of
its success, although they con-
-hdently assured the city council
last May that within three months
or less from the date of granting
the franchise, work on the propos-
ed plant would begin.
Now, seeing that the idea of hay
ing a private company or corpora
7tion to build the waterworks and
light plant appears hopeless fail
IRE, the advocates of city owner
ship feel that it is coming their
turn to be heard. As they stood
aside and refrained from opposing
the private ownership idea, even
taking stock in the company, feel
ing that the town must have these
improvements, at any cost, and
that It would be very serious mis- [;
take to oppose any obstacle that
might prevent the accoi Iplishment
of the plan, they feel now that it
IS equally the duty of the opponents
of city ownership to refrain from |
any action that might prevent the
acquisition Of these vitality import l.
ant improvements by the latter /
means.
That such is the view of the ma
iority of the city council is evidenc- t
ed by the fact that, at Mondays '
meeting, the subject was brought I
up, and as preliminary step the t
city attorney instructed to COM /
1unicate with the attorney general c
Of the state, in order to ascertain v
whether the city can legally issue v
bonds for the purpose of building I
these utilities. This step scarcely b
appears necessary, tits true, since
the statute plainly gives all cities {
the right to issue bonds for such b
purposes, provided the corporation
is solvent and III proper financial :
to pay the interest onI \
such bonds besides keeping up a L
sinking fund to pay the bonds, yei

In the case Of the former the ac-.

writing the president Colonel Button
severely criticizes the practice OF
promiscuous reinsurance among fra

his letter:

has almost without exception brought
on trouble, and. as we !lave been call

Of discrimination were we to eliminate

Barry will have 50 O0O, 600 more upon which

ed about it. Those close to him admit that
the wedding gift to Miss Schwab will be the

THE DIPLOMATIC BILL.
Conference Report Agreed to by the
Senate.


Senate.
The Senate yesterday agreed to the con-
ference report on the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill. The Senate re-
ceded from its amendment to repeal the
provision of law authorizing the President,
in his discretion, to raise the ranks Of dip
lomatic representatives of the United States
when the countries to which such repre-
sentatives have been sent increase the
ranks of their representatives to the United
States. The Senate receded also on cts
amendment in which it changed the designa-
ton of 1.-The Dominican republic" adopted
by the House, to ''Santo Domingo" The
former designation was adopted by the
conferees.
The conferees agreed to the Senate
amendment providing that from and after
July /, 1907, the salaries of consular clerks
shall be at the rate of $1,000 year for the
first three years of continuous service and
shall be increased 5000 a year thereafter
until a maximum of 81, 500 has been reached.
1t was provided in addition that the amend
ment shall not result in reduction of the
salaries of any clerks now in the service.
An appropriation is made to carry the
amendment in effect
Some changes were made In the amend
ments designating the amounts that may
be paid at the various consulates as allow
ance for additional clerk hire, but the
amendments were agreed to fixing definite
sums that may be used at each place, in
stead of making a lump sum appropriation
to be expended under the direction of the
Secretary of State as provided by the bill
as 1t passed the House.
