An UnsuccessfuI Operation.

From the New York Evening Post
 We can hardly believe that the verdict of $ao.ooo given by St. Louis jury against physician of that city because he sewed up in a patient roll of gauge. will stand in the higher courts More in telligent persons will, we are sure, feel that to proceed against the cherished practice of some of our most distin- guished surgeons will be an undue inter ference with their liberty and their pur- suit of happiness, and, therefore, quite unconstitutional And what would be- como of the newspapers if they could not record from time to time that tho great surgeon B., or the wonderful oper- ator C., had carefully sewed up an un- steriIfzed instrument or 36 inches of gauge in the place of the recently removed ap- pendix? We are the more concerned be- cause this is the second verdict of tho same kind which we have noticed during the last. few weeks. Now we submit that physicians are but as human as the rest of us, and that to require general infal- libiIity while operating Is little bit more than the medical profession can be expected to endure in silence. We hopo to hear that the New York County Med1- cal Association and other prominent sur gical bodies will shortly meet to resolve that trial by jury should be abolished in St. Louis and to maintain at any cost the right to sew up in a patient any un- necessary operating room equipment. judicial interference with vested right of this kind would surely be an inde- fensible restraint of trade.

FISH FROM THE CLOUDS.
Picked Up on an English Hlliside--in-
 stance From India.
From the campbellton Courier.

From the Campbellton Courier.
 On Friday last a number of townspeo- pie taking a walk on the slopes of Knock scalbert hill were surprised to see on the grass near SummerhiIi 8 large number of very small fishes, varying In length from 11k to inches. The fish appeared to be the young of the herring, and their presence on the hill in considerable num- bers created much speculation,
 In August, 1904. shower of herring fry was experienced at the head of Longrow. but there was no doubt as to whence the miniature fish had come. for they fell from above on the hats and clothing of several men, and at the time g small black cloud of remarkable density was directly overhead.
 The phenomenon of fish falling from the clouds is says our contemporary. of more common occurrence than is generally supposed. It Is undoubtedly due to some small fry of fishes having been lifted from the water and carried oyer dry land by what Is popuiariy known as a water spout
 Many cases are reported from abroad, and they are common in India. Last year Caithness reported shower of small fishes, which were identified as Herring fry, and there was also similar oc- currence fin Ross-shire.
 Frogs, insects, and other living crea- lures have also been known to be thus transported through the air.

With .its rate-malSing powers and other wide authority over railroads opened new field for the energies and studies of general attorneys of Texas railroads Complicated subjects relating to freight rates and traffic affairs are constantly before the railroad commission for con- sideration. It Is necessary that the rail- roads be represented by their attorneys when these subjects come up for discus sion and settlement. Mir. Lovett was se- lected as the railroad commission lawyer of the firm. For several years there was hardly week that he did not come to Austin and appear before the railroad commission on some matter involving the freight rates traffic or operating affairs of the Southern Pacific. He made years of deep study of the intricacies of freight rate-making, the details of operating of railways not only in Texas, but all over the United States. He familiarized him. self with every department of the South ern Pacific. He was quoted in Texas as an expert in the various details of rail- road management. He combined his vas. knowledge of railway matters with his legal learning and occupied the highest rank among the general attorneys of rail- ways in this state
 Mir Lovett's wonderful success in deal ing with propositions that came before the Texas railroad commission attracted MT. Harriman's attention and caused him to ta..e him to New York at a salary of s50,Oe0 per annum about five years ago as counsel for the Southern Pacific. It Is stated that MT. Lovett now draws a sal- ary of s1O0O00 per annum from the Harri- man interests.
 T would rather live in Texas at $25. 900 a year than in New York at s50,000,'' MT. Lovett wrote to a friend here soon after he went to the eastern metropolis.
 It is known that MT. Hartman had the greatest confidence in MT. Lovetts ability and judgment in railway matters as well as a lawyer.
 "We think a great deal of MT. Lovett." said MT. Hartman when in Texas last spring We are going to keep him in New York

 ITS USUAL SUCCESS

"I have two little girls who have been troubled very badly with eczema. One of them had it on her lower limbs. did everything that could hear of for her, but 1t did not give in until warm weather when 1t seemingly subsided.

LOVETT CAME FROM TEXAS BACKWOODS Is Now Harriman's Personal
 Legal Adviser MAY SUCCEED MAGNATE Wonderful Story of How a Man May Raise Himself From Poverty to
 Financial and Business Leader of the. Land.
By w. D. HORNADAY.

Austin, Tex, September u.-(Special)- Judge Robert s. Lovett. counusel of the Southern Pacific company and personal legal advisor of the late E. H. Hartman, who is mentioned as the probable success sor of the latter as tho active manager of the vast Hartman system of railways, was born and raised in the backwoods of Texas.
 MT. Lovett's boyhood home was in the 'backwoodiest' part of the pine forests of east Texas" said one of his friends the other day. "It Is marvellous how he has risen in the world He was born in a little log cabin located in a typical for est clearing, where just enough corn and other products were grown to feed the hungry mouths of the family. He edu- cated himself by reading at night from the light of a pine knot"
 MT. Lovett Is 49 years old. When a mere boy he got his first job with railroad that of running pump at small sta- tion on the Houston, East and West Texas railroad. which is now Southern Pacific property. He put in his spare time reading law and entered a law firm at Houston as clerk. His native ability was quickly recognized and he was sent to little town where he represented the railroad in defending suits before the justice of the peace. His position was called "cow-coroner'' lawyer. He soon proved himself too good lawyer for that position and he was taken into the firm. He had made a special study of railroads. not only from legal stand point, but in their broadest scope. He was next appointed assistant general at torney of the Texas and Pacific, and soon afterward promoted to be general attor- ney of that road.
 He resigned that position about 1893 to enter the firm of Baker & Bolts of Hous- ton. general attorneys for the Texas lines of the Southern Pacific. The establish rnent of the state railroad commission

ever, is not allowed to granulate like Stoch porridge, or like the Austrian sterz, but is boiled into a solid pudding, which is cut up and portioned out with a string. It Is eaten cold as often as it is hot, and is in every sense the Italian peasants daily bread. The modern Roumanians are held by many scholars to be de- scended from Roman colony, in other words to be cousins of the Italians, and curiously enough a variation of the polenta called marnaliga is the national dish of Romania. The mamaliga is like the polenta in that it is made of boiled maize. but it is unlike the latter in one important respect, as the grains are not allowed to settle into a solid mass, but are kept distinct, after the fashion of oatmeal porridge.
