DR. CHENEY CONDEMNS

New York Medical Journal Quotes Bridgeporter Among Others In aesthesia.

As one of the contributors to the New York Medical Journal. Dr. vir- gil P. Gibney. the eminent surgeon of New York and this city. throws cold water upon the practicability of the much mooted spinal anaesthesia as demonstrated by Dr. Thomas Jonnes- co. now In America pr. GIbney. per formed several operations under the supervision of pr. Jonnesco at the hospital for the Relief of the Ruptur- ed and Crippled. While 1t Is pointed out in the article. parts of which are now public. that the operations in which pr. Gibney ngured. were more favorable than others made with the Jonnesco method, pr. Gibney Is quot ed as saying:
 Personally. however. should hesi- tate long while before allowed any hish injection of any solu, ion Into my spinal canal, The vascular supply within the canal is too rich. and the danger of herorrhage induced there by sufficiently great to make me pre- fer local anaethesia or anaethesia through the respiratory tract"
 The consensus of opinion. as fath- cred by the medical publication, Is that the use of stovaine or other spinal anaesthetics should be confined to only certain cases such as In operations where vomiting after operations. which usua.ly follows respiratory anaesthe- s.a. would be dangerous to the pa- tients. These would include bowel surgery. advanced disease of the heart and lungs and the like. Atten- tion Is called to a Philadelphia case In which one of the surgeons gays the patient narrowly escaped death, and underwent the operation at last under ether.
 The article creditsepr. Jonnesco with having achieved remarkable skill in the use of spinal anaesthetics, hut also calls attention to the use of his meth ods two decades and more ago, in this country.

 Wall Street
Percentage of Salary and Shares of Stock Distribut- ed With Lavish Hand.

New York. Dec A.-Santa Claus will be mighty good this year to the employees of the greater corporations, banking houses and financial institu- tions of New York. It is estimated that several million dollars will be distributed on Christmas gifts in Wall street this year.
 The United States Steel Corporation heads the list of Christmas givers with a S2.O00,O00 gift. Of this. 1,20o. 900 in cash was sent out yesterday to be giv- ss" eo0 is to be given in preferred stock of the corporation. but the ti- tie of that stock will not pass into the name of the recipient until Ire has served three years more continuous service with the corporation.
 he Central Trust Company, which announces that 1t has the largest sur plus of any trust company in the city and which will soon cut a huge melon for it's stockholders, gave to each of its employees a Christmas present which totaled 50 per cent of that employees salary.
 The members of the New York Stock Exchange have raised $11.0O0 to Consolidated Exchange, 5000; and the curb brokers about S1,000.
 The sales of stock on the stock ex- change number 10000. 600 shares more lndu idSl year, meaning net increase in commissions of g 500 GOO. A large portion of this g. GOO. 1t is reported Is to be given to employees for faith full services.
 The larger railroads too. have been prospering and their directors, it is reported have voted large sums to workers for efficient and faithful ser vice.
 Standard On will not make any Christmas presents. It formerly gave bonuses. amounting from S1o to s1,- 009. but. at the request of its employees changed this to yearly increase in salary, which is always announced on the first of the year.
 Bigger brokerage firms give either months salary or 10 per cent of the yearly salary in "off years" As this has been an especially prosperous year it is believed they will all increase this amount J. P. Morgan & Company have, in the past given workers 50 per cent of their annual salary on Christmas. but 1t is said this sum is to be increased this year. The em- ployes of the RocS Island Railroads offices will get 10 per cent of their sal aries.

News From the
Philippine Islands.
Posi- OF PARANG.

Mindanao, p. l., March 2, 1909.
The Hon. Joseph d. d. Rivers,
Denver, Colorado.
Dear Brother Rivers Il see by
recent orders that the Twenty-fifth
Infantry is to be stationed at Fort
Logan upon its return to the
United States in September. | also
see that some of the Denver papers
are opposing the coming of this
regiment to Fort Logan. | am
very sorry for this and l feel sure
that you will use your good offices
to overcome this opposition.
The Twenty-fifth Infantry has
made a splendid record in the
Philippines. Last year they took
the first honors in the Department
of Mindanao, at the Department
Meet They then went to Manila,
and took third place in the Divis-
ion Meet. This year at the Depart
ment Meet our baseball team took
first place and our athletes won
every event except two. AT the Di-
vision Meet at Manila this year our
Department won second place and
out of the 80 points won by the
Department of Mindanao 81 of
them were won by members of the
Twenty-fifth Infantry. One of our
men, George Washington by name,
of Company tx, " won the cup and
medal for the all-round athletic
championship of the Philippine
Islands. He went to the Carnival,
Immediately following the Division
Military Meet, where he competed
with athletes from all over the ORR
ent The champion was an Austria
liam, but Washington won the all
championship medal over him and
became the champion athlete for
the Orient. He won in all, this
year, eight medals and one cup.
The Twenty-fifth Infantry has
been engaged in several expedi-
tons against the Moros, the most
warlike of the Philippine tribes in
all of which they made an excel
lent record. | know the Twenty
fifth and | know the citizens of
Denver, both colored and white,
and | am sure that no one need
feel ashamed of the Twenty-fifth
Infantry, but, on the other hand, |
am confident that it will not be
long, if the Twenty-fifth does come
to Denver, before all will have a
good word to speak for the regi-
ment.
Mrs. Scott joins me in kindest
regards to yourself and Mrs. Riv-
ers and to all our good friends IN
Denver. Let me have line from
you when convenient.
| am, very sincerely,
