was dealt IN the miners special con.

the largest individual gain yet made
in one day by any candidate
in his class, rising from g.
100 to s,?s5, thus passing his
nearest competitor, Mr.. Waiter Wilt,
by nearly 4o,OO3 votes. Mr. Glenn

worth watching next week, as some
very deep planning Is now going on

closeuess Of the contest will serve to

One result Of the narrow margin
will be to arouse to extra effort the
fellows who want another house lead

vote alone is warrant enough for con.
siderable silence and modesty on the
part Of Williams from now on and he
expects a fight when the Democratic
caucus is held the last night In No

SURGEON REPLACES
BONE WITH BONE WAX
Unusual Operation Performed
in New York Promises to
Be Success.

NEW YORK. April 12.-The sur
geons at st. Gregory hospital per-
formed an operation yesterday on a six
year-old Italian boy, Peter Lepari of
Brooklyn, by which they replaced a
portion of necrotic bone of the left
forearm with substance known as
"bone wax which will, in time, the
surgeons say, turn into bone.
The surgeons said that the operation
was one of the first of its kind in this
country, and that without doubt it
would be a success.
When the boy was brought TO the
hospital it was found that he was
suffering from tubercular bone in
the arm. Decomposition had set in,
To prevent the loss of the use of the
arm it was decided TO bring the ''boue
wax into use. An X-ray will be used
daily to watch the growth,
Bone wax was discovered by Ger
man chemist ten years ago, and has
been used in Vienna.
