PRICE or AHEARN PACT.
His Job for Little Tim IN Case of
q Second R6mOUdl.

Little Tim" Sullivan is to be the President OF
the Borough of Manhattan in case John F.
Ahearn, who was reelected yesterday, is re-
moved again.
This is the net result of the man9uvring OF the
Sullivan men and the price the Sullivan men
exacted from Charles F. Murphy in return for
standing by Ahearn in the board yesterday
This fact, furthermore. explains the Willingness
OF the Hearst men to vote for Ahearn on the
solicitation of Tim and il may also furnish
the correct illumination of the motive that actu-
ated the three Republicans-Jacobson. Mofftt
and Hatton--in voting for Ahearn.
Alderman Sullivan told his friends yesterday
that he intended to leave town for vaca-
ton of three months If Borough President
Ahearn should be removed either by the courts
or by the Governor, as seems wholly within the
possibilities. Little Tim would come into his
own and the Sullivan men would the bor-
ough government.
This new development is proof that Sullivan
pressed Murphy hard in the game in which the
two were pitted account of Ahearn. The
next Board of Aldermen will contain a heavy
Tammany majority. 1t will be so thoroughly
SulIisanized that Little Tim is going to take
a three months vacation, confident that his
machine will run smoothly in his absence.

CURE FOR INSANITY.
Operation apparent Remedy for
DementiG PrRcOr.

Baltimore, Dec. 19.-An alleged cure for a
form of insanity hitherto considered as so per
cent incurabIe has been found in the form of an
operation by DR.. Newdidate NJ. Owensby, physi-
clan in chief at Bayview Insane Asylum. This
form of insanity is known to the profession as
dementia pracox. 1t generally attacks persons
between the ages of fifteen and thirty years and
destroys. as 1t proceeds. the human qualities of
resistance, thought and speech. rendering the
victim little than a beast. The Bayview
Asylum contains many victims of this disease
in all stages Of its advance.
The disease resembles in certain symptoms
the more familiar forms of cretinism and myxoe-
dema. and it was this similarity that first led
DR.. Owensby to conceive of operation. The
two latter diseases. it is thought, originate by
a lack of secretion in the thyroid gland. sit
uated near the windpipe, and q fairly effective
cure was found in the administration of ex-
tract of thyroid glands taken from sheep. Fol-
lowing this line of treatment in dementia pr6e-
COX. and bearing in mind the similarity of
symptoms. DR.. Owensby found that instead of
to eccentuate them.
He thus arrived at the conclusion that. in
stead of the disease arising from a lack of
secretion there was a likelihood of oversecre-
tion due to diseased blood vessels in the gland
This conclusion opened up the possibility OF
using the knife to cut away the diseased portion
of the gland
Selecting the worst case in the asylum, Dr.
Owensby performed the operation last July.
The case was kept under close observation at
the asylum for two months without the slight
est indication of return Of the symptoms Last
October the case was dismissed, and the latest
report made by the visiting physician of the
asylum was that the man had obtained en-
ira-a1
other cases were operated upon. and three Of
these showed the same return to intelligence.
without the slightest relapse. The exception
WAS case extremely far advanced.
