MORE ROOM FOR THE HEART
A Remarkable Operation Successful
SurgicaIIy ana for the
Patient.

A very remarkable operation has inst
been performed at one Of the large gen
eral hospitals in London which II ulti-
mately successful will open up yet an
other field for the daring skin Of the TWEEN
tieth century surgeon. This operation was
suggested for the relief Of pain due to
heart disease and was devised according
to the following argument:
The pain was associated with that form
OF the disease which leads TO enormous
enlargement OF the heart and may pro-
duce the condition known as bullock heart
It was supposed that the attacks OF pain
were due 10 the efforts of the enlarged
heart to beat In the confined space al
lotted to It In the chest. II was argued
that II the imprisoned heart could have
greater freedom OF action It's beat would
be more effective and the pains would
probably cease. but II required some daring
10 suggest and carry out an operation foi
this purpose.
The situation was fully explained TO thu
patient and the risks OF the operation
pointed out. and he willingly gave hi
consent TO undergo Il. In spite OF IN.
condition OF his heart. he took tn

POOR PROSPECTS AT NEWPORT
with All of the Social Leader
Gone il is Called Deserted
Village.

Many OF the women who pine for a re-
turn of the lively days OF a few years
ago have begun to call Newport "the
deserted village" In one sense there is
reason to use the phrase. Things are not
as lively as in the days when Harry Lehr
capered for the wealthy few and also for
the multitude. Mrs. Fish has gone. Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt has gone. Mrs. Her
man Oelrichs has gone. Mrs. Ogden
Golet entertains only occasionally.
The life has been taken out of Newport,
because there are no recognized leaders
20 take the place OF these brainy women.
Mrs. Aston no longer holds sway and Mrs.
o. n. T. Belmont will not be seen there
for another twelve months at least. Marital
troubles have taken away Mrs. Elsie
French Vanderbilt for the summer, and
few OF the "old guard" are left. OF course
all the social climbers are ~there-they In
crease steadily with each year, and It may
be that Mrs. Fish Is right when she avows
the social climber has been the ruin OF New
port.

BuTT-IN GETS WHAT'S COMING
ghta of the Moral Glass Drawn
from Incident in Cur
rent News.

Blessed, of course, is the peacemaker,
yet dangers attend the discharge of the
function of butter-in, and oftentimes the
kind and sympathetic person who feels
called upon to remedy a condition or
straighten out a disagreement by per-
sonally interfering and rendering his good
offices to the downtrodden or the need
lessly enraged falls upon evil days.
One Of the plain tales from the wires
the other day was of a kind-hearted gen.
tleman who strove to step between two
furiously fighting New Workers, with in
tent to convince the combatants that
arbitration is more satisfactory than as
sault and battery and that the Joys of
peace are more greatly to be desired than
the victories OF war, even II less renowned.
The combatants fell upon him unitedly,
leaving him for dead, and after finishing
him up Joined one another in a drink at
the nearest bar and very nearly got into
a second fight because each insisted upon
having the pleasure of paying for the
others refreshment.
The latest illustration of the folly OF
butting in is related by a correspondent
at Orange, n. ]. A gentleman of charac-
ter and standing in the community, but
given to an occasional indulgence in the
cup that doth cheer and inebriate, CHANGED
to pass a lawn upon which a goat OF the
! masculine gender was tethered. He saw
that the grass was close cropped within
the radius described by the tether rope
and determined to move the peg and give
the goat new pastureage. But the goat
provoked to anger by the sight OF the
old gentleman k~neeling with his back to
the subject of his ready sympathy, let
drive at the tempting target with such
force that the would-be deliverer landed
upon his face in a gravel walk and skated
upon his nose, receiving temporarily dis
figuring cuts and bruises. The gentle
man, making for the failure of
the goat to understand his motives, re-
turned to the peg and tugged at II a sec
ond time, this time facing the goat and
speaking kindly to IL. But Billy butted
him squaTely In the abdomen and his cries
OF pain so annoyed a cold-hearted COM
munity that a warrant for disorderly con-
duct was sworn out in the magistrates
court and before Judge Bray-whose
name fits in with his decision-he was
fined IS for having placed himself in a
position to be painfully hurt in the

status of Individual in Posi-
ton of wife.

This is the way "a Kansas woman pic
lures the real status of an individual in the
position of wife, in the Woman's Home
Companion:
Women are born with tastes for various
occupations, the same as men. All men
do not care to be carpenters, neither do
all women care to be housekeepers. The
giving up of personal preferences and devot-
ing her entire attention to the housekeeping
and housekeeping arts Is one of the great
est sacrifices OF a woman's life.
Any mar who is capable OF performing
the mental gymnastics necessary % put
himself in a woman's place csn readily
comprehend what marriage means to q
sensitive, intelligent woman.
Suppose that John Jones 10 q brilliant
young lawyer, a man likely TO stand hlgh
in his profession. Love comes TO him and
he becomes engaged to marry Mary Smith.
During the engagement she praises his
work as a lawyer. she considers his highest
wish, she is devotion ir~carnate. The path
to matrimony is so thickly stFewn with
flowers that he does not realize that the
marriage service opens the door into a.
strange, unknown country. In which there
are few guide posts.
After the marriage ceremony he is no
longer John Jones, but the husband of
Mary Smith His social standing is deter
mined by the position his wife occupies.
Though he eXpends all his time and strelgth
In keeping up the home, his labor is not
valued in dollars and cents; and II he does
not possess an independent income, he is
compelled TO ask his wife for every cent he
uses. Mary soon acquires the habit OF COM

residence Of Mary Smith. Though she
knows nothing OF household management
she usurps her prerogative Of directing the

known as the children of Mary Smith.
How would such a life suit a man?

BUREAU MAN HERE
Samuel H. Ross of Washington Takes
Charge of Inspection.
PLANT OPENS IN SEPTEMBER
Will Cooperate with the Treasury
Department in the Inspection of
Foods and Drugs for
Revenue

Samuel H. Ross of Washington, food and
drug inspection chemist of the bureau of
chemistry, Department of Agriculture, ar
rived in Omaha Saturday morning to take
charge as superintendent of the new gov
eminent chemical laboratory established in
Omaha.
Superintendent Ross at once will proceed
with the installation of the plant, most of
the material Of which is now on the
ground, having been in the process of as
sembling for several months. The new
laboratory will be located on the fourth
floor of the federal building. occupying a
suite Of two or three rooms. Considerable
work remains to be done before the labor
atory will be in working operation. This
will involve the installation of a number
of drainage pipes, sinks, retorts and other
appliances necessary for the working Of the
plant.
Mr.. Ross has just returner from Savannah,
Ca, where he installed a new chemical
laboratory, being one of the twenty located
in various parts OF the country, the Omaha
concern being also one of the number. Mr..
Ross was formerly connected with the
chemical laboratory apartment of the
Cudahy Packing ompan of Omaha, leav-
ing that department in May. 1897, to enter
the government service, hence he Is not al
absolute stranger in Omaha.
I'VE shall cooperate with the Treasury

Bureau OF Animal Industry. which has IL
distinct chemical and inspection department
For the present, four persons only will b'
employed In the laboratory here. Thes,
will include myself, a chemist. helper anC
stenographer. We will hardly get ready
for business before September Is, as ther'
is much to do in getting the laborator!
ready for work.

PEWTER PLATE in USE AGAIN
Demand for This Really Antique
Ware Has Made IT VAL
uahIe.

Antique pewter is on the high road to
popularity. Notwithstanding the fact that
as a comm odity it has little intrinsic worth.
Yet this very quality makes It valuable to
the collector, for, formerly being OF mail
value. 1t had little care, and, while much
pewter simply wore out with hard usage,
many hundreds OF pounds were melted for
bullets during the Revolutionary war, and
many mere pounds were thrown out for the
Junkmen to carry away. Thus pewter to-
DAY is comparatively rare.
This metal mixture of colonial days
stands alone. II possesses a sheen peculiar
to itself and this unpretentiousness is It's
most valuable recommendation.
Nearly every domestic utensil is repre-
scented in pewter. including jugs, flagons.
spoons, forks, plates, tankards, teapots,
mustard pots, snuff boxes. money boxes,
ladies, coffee urns, tobacco Jars, buckles,
sugar bowls, trays, cups and porringers.
Historically, antique pewter Is valuable
and interesting, as certainly the larger
share Of It has seen the Tight Of other
DAYS" There is a considerable amount of
faxed antique. but'these pieces are COM
paratlvely rare, as the process OF manu-
facture is long and the demand small.
Occasionally pewter Is found bearing the
trade marks Of the maker-a castle on a
rock, a rose, a thistle and crown, a tree,
bird or bell, but practically there are nc
hall marks. One must learn by experience
what pieces are really old and what are
spurious.
We are told that the knowledge OF the
manufacture of this ware goes back TO thu
tenth century and that IL has been made II
China. Japan, France. Spain, Germany
Switzerland and England. In America II l.
the eighteenth century pewter which II
most priced as it was this output that wa
especially connected with colonial history
Not only was pewter used for domesti
service, but during these pioneer times tn
communion wine was passed in heavy tank
ards. Such pieces are greatly valued by tn
New England families possessing them to
day.
The care OF pewter Is something that re
quires both patience and persistence. as nc
at first can one get the desired sheen @
glow Of its metals. Some allow pewter I
retain It's dull appearance, but then one
missing the beautiful luster that is It's chic
charm Rubbing by hand Is the only wa
to bring out the power OF pewter, and tn

Casting about for a moral to append

but little less fruitful than many ILL
