LIVED AN HOUR CUT IN HALF
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE OF MAN
RUN OVER BY LOCOMOTIVE.
Doctors Call 1t One of the Most Re-
markable Cases on Record. Con-
sciOus Til just Before Death.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-Although
cut in half by locomotive Giovanni
Mattera lived an hour and twelve
minutes, and was conscious until
within ten minutes of his death.
Had one wheel run over HIM the doc
tors said he would have died almost
instantly. But the wheels of both
the engine and tender passed over
him, and thus gave him a lease of
life that physicians call remarkable,
says the North American.
AS the wheels rolled over Mattera
the tremendous weight welded the
skin together in such a manner that
the lower part of the trunk was vir-
tually sewed together, thus prevent
ing the blood from escaping and
also preventing hemorrhages. Shock
killed Mattera, but he cOnyersed
with friends for more than an hour
before death
Mattera did not see the locomotive
backing toward him as he stepped
upon the track. Then it was too
late He was knocked down before
he could cry out, and the wheels
passed over the lower part of his
stomach, cutting him in half.
The locomotive was moved away
and the railroad employees ran to the
spot To their amazement they
found the lower part of Mattera S
body had been severed. The upper
part was intact, and the victim spoke
to his rescuers.
The case is considered one of the
most remarkable in surgical annals
In speaking of it DR.. Seese said:
Il have never known any one to
live more than a few minutes after
such an injury Usually they become
Immediately from loss Of
blood and shock. But the pressure
of the wheels sealed Mattera's body
as tightly as though it had grown
together This prevented hemor-
rhage, but after such a shock no man
could live. / doubt if a similar case
was ever reported before.

with a local application.
Two or three times the measure
was put to the house and each time
it failed for lack of quorum. After
almost wearing his gavel out trying
to secure a constitutional vote the
speaker ordered the roll call, and
business was resumed.
The bill was not passed because
the hour for the special order had
arrived and it was displaced
The rules committee proposes to
give the house a gentle prod, remind
ing it of what its duty is to the state
and what is expected of it when the
legislature is in session for the pur-
pose of making laws.
At meeting the rules committee,
after considerable argument, decided
to recommend to the house that in
the future the roll be called every
morning for the purpose of putting
members on record as to attendance
and to insure the presence of a quo
rum.

REVISING THE ENIBoNPOINT.
Stout Ladies Roll on the Beach to
Reduce Weight.

Rolling on the beach is the latest
recipe for reducing the weight, and
the prescription has been adopted by
prominent stout ladies now sojourn-
ing at Atlantic City. Rolling on the
beach is an euphemism, but means
exactly what it says. They Just lie
uoWn on the beach and roll over and
over, leaving large quantities of en-
ponpolnt all along the smiling sands.
Inc roll cure is one of the inn
portant new discoveries in the science
OF health. Nothing was generally
known about it until just the other
DAY, when some early strOllers on the
peach at Atlantic City came upon a
beautiful but embonpointish matron
OF their acquaintance rolling with
great vigor back and forth between
TWO stakes. They thought at first
that she was rolling from pure eX-
cess of an energy like a colt in the
pasture, but when they asked her
about it she graciously desisted from
the exercise for moment and ex-
pIalned between rolls about the or
ganlzation of the new health cult and
about all it was going to do for wo-
mankind in the way of the downward
revision of waist measures.
we'll, let 'em roll! We don't
see any harm in it, provided they
will be careful about not getting
started at the top of a grade, with
innocent ultimate consumers holding
a picnic or something at the bottom
Of it.

Lung Powers Are Signing.
The voter with great lung power
and red corpuscles, who likes his
meat rare and his politics strong, is
singing Where are the rows of yes
terday?"
At the Hoke Smith headquarters
they are sending out the farewell
message of former Governor Hoke
Smith, sent in to the legislature on
June %, 1909. At Brown headuuar-
ters they are sending out Governor
Browns prosperity message to the
legislature dated July /, 1909. They
will both get down to 1910 in due
time, but neither side wants to be
hurried, nor worried, nor scurried.
The record of Governor Smith in
the office of governor has been made
up-at least to June %, 1909. The
first year of Governor Browns ad-
ministratiOn is completed.
The plainest issue before the voters
is the record of these two terms.
The instructions to the voters are
Size them both up and cast your
votes.
The issues: Well, there may be
some later.

Contests Are ON For Several State
House Offices. What the Cam
didates Want.

ATLANTA, Ga.-There are several
contests on for state house offices,
but except. that for encouragement
they do not appear to be lined up
much with the governors race. The
candidates are taking no part in that
situation, but are ''hoeing their own
rows"
For Encouragement the candi-
dates are H. A. Hall of Newman, the
incumbent, who is prominent as a
supporter of Governor Brown, and
T. s. Fielder of Macon, who is closely
identified with the Smith forces. A
third entry for this office is A. G.
McCurry of Hartwell, who may be
considered as the peace" candidate.

SAVED BREAD FOR 9s YEARS.
Relies of the German Famine of 1916
Carefully Preserved.

Carefully preserved beneath a
glass case at the home of Joseph
Hummel, a veteran business man of
Muncie, Ind. are two small loaves
of bread, each weighing an ounce
and half, that were baked SO years
ago and are relics of the famine that
swept Germany in 1916 and 1917.
Wheat then sold for s84 a bushel.
The loaves are heirlooms in the
Hummel family, and came into Mr..
Hummel's possession when he was
visiting his old home in Wurtem-
burg 20 years ago. Floods and the
Napoleonic war then raging virtually
destroyed the wheat crop throughout
Europe, and the few who were able
to raise the cereal charged exhorbi-
tant prices for it.

NO WOMEN NEED APPLY.
Only TrOusered Stenographers Are
Wanted by Uncle Sam.

Women stenographers apparently
are no longer wanted in the govern
ment service. This announcement
has just been made by the civil SER
vice commission in an effort to put a
stop to a steadily increasing flood of
letters from women throughout the
country who seek information about
examination for stenographers to be
held next Tuesday in all the states
and territories.
This examination is for the pur-
pose Of recruiting only men stenog-
raphers and typists, the demand for
whom the civil service commission
has been unable to meet Practi-
cally all the various departments Of
the government are seeking to re-
place women stenographers with men
on the ground that the latter are
more amenable to discipline.

BIGGEST LOAF OF BREAD.
Gigantic Mass of the Staff of Life
Weighed 40 Pounds.

HSiSneu l4O ROUNDS.
The largest loaf of bread in the
world was baked the other day by
Andrew Newberg of Austin, Tex.
This gigantic mass of the staff of life
weighed lao pounds, and was two
feet high three feet wide and twelve
feet long. After the ingredients
were mixed the baking process con-
sumed over an hour, a special oven
being used for the purpose. The loaf
was sent to barbecue at Moulton,
where it was cut and distributed for
a large crowd. Mr.. Newberg accom-
panied the bread to it's destination to
see that it was safely carried. By
making this loaf Mr. Newberg breaks
his own record for the largest loaf
of bread in the world, which was one
weighing 100 pounds sent to the
