HfS TEFTH nREW up.

NEW YORK, Nov 2l.-- Herbert
cosman's teeth grew up instead Of
down and for that reason he is a pa
tient at ST. Luke's hospital here to-
day. An operation has been perform
ed, however, which is believed to
have been successful and cosman's
rapid recovery with his mouth restor-
cd to its normal condition is expec-
ted.
Cosman is Fl years old. He lives
up the Hudson at Newburg. Twelve
years ago three teeth in his upper
jaw-two molars and a bicuspid-
were removed, but strangely no new
second teeth appeared and the eavi-
ties remained. AS the years passed his
jaw began to pain him and later grew
unshapeiy, The pain finally became so
severe that he decided upon an opera
ton. The surgeons located the con-
trary teeth by means OF the X-ray.

NEW MINERAL FOUND.
Carnotite Source Of Uranium and
Vanadium.

Carnotlte, a mineral recently found
in Colorado. is a source of the rare
elements uranium and vanadium and
has yielded traces Of the still rarer
element, radium.
These deposits. which also contain
other rare minerals, are situated at
the foot Of Blue mountain, formerly
known as Yampa Plateau, and are
similar to those on Coal creek, Rio
Blanco county. Colorado. The ores
present a beautiful display Of colors.
The carnotite, which constitutes a rel
atively small percentage of the min
erals found, occurs In the form of a
film or thin crust OF powdery mater
ial of bright canary-yellow color.
A yellow mineral which closely re-
sembles cornotite In color and ap-
pearance, and which occurs In even
greater amount, proved, on testing by
experts Of the geological survey, to be
a vanadate OF copper Chemical tests
of the ores have shown the presence
in them OF copper selenite. which is
believed to be the first selenite dis
covered in the United States.

vExED BECAUSE
DIsPLEAsED BY YOUTHS.
Probable Selection OF Ollie James to
Manage Bryan's Campaign Promis-
es TO BE the Last Sraw-James
Has Had Brilliant Brief Career
Member Of Congress

Washington. July 22,-The old
politicians in Washington, with the
glory OF many campaign fights upon
them, are more than vexed at the call
being given young men in the choice
OF leaders for the approaching presi-
Dental contest. It's awful. they think.
The probability Of the selection Of
Ollie James, the big Kentucky con-
gresham to manage the campaign
for william Jennings Bryan has add
ed to their irritation over the selec-
ton of Frank II. Hitchcock, as chair
man OF the republican national COM
mittee. Old men do not have a
chance these days, they say.
They point out that James is but
little more than a kid. The truth is
that he would be the youngest cam
paign manager ever selected by big
political party. He is only 81 years
old. but, due to the uncertainty OF
democratic victory in Kentucky, he
has had a finger in nearly every poll
tical campaign in that state since he
appeared on the terrestrial scene, and
during the last few presidential con-
tests he has made a reputation for
himself In q subordinate capacity.
They enlist their followers in their
babyhood in the Blue Grass state and
the result is the production Of a pre-
cocious politician. when the subject
can stand the strain.
Friends OF James are fond Of re-
ferring to his congressional career.
He is now serving his third term, and
at the last election a republican
could not be found to run against
him. AS a result he had 10000 ma
jority out of $4,000 votes cast, some
1000 voting for the prohibition can
dIdate. Incidentally. It is noted that
James has never been drawing card
among the prohlbitionists, although
the Kentuckian has grasped every
opportunity in congress to talk for
prohibition,
The brilliancy of James Is pointed
out by his rapid rise from page of
the Kentuckian legislature in the ses-
sion of 1887 to his present position. In
that year Ben Johnson was speaker
of the house. Yet James had been in
congress for two sessions before
johnson rose to the height Of COM
manding a seat in the lower house of
the national law making body.
James won attention as one of the
attorneys for Governor Goebel in his
celebrated contest for governor Of the
state of Kentucky, just before his
assassination at the state house.
Hitchcock is several years older
than James, yet Hitchcock, at Al, is
counted young man. They are OPP
