Several Italians employed at the
cannery at Blackbird became en-
gagged in fight on Thursday after
noon, while at work and for a while
there was an exciting time in the
"peeling room" of the establish
ment. After several of the Italian
men and women had been cut or
bruised in the melee, order was
finally restored and all the partici-
ipants returned to, work. Mr..
Records, the owner of the factory,
was away on a business trip at the
time.

SURGICAL TRlUMPHs.

Details of remarkable operations in
the domain of transportation are
being given before the German Sur
geons' Congress at present sitting III
Berlin, says the Berlin correspond
ent Of the Westminster Gazette.
The transplantations reported were
of skin, membranes, tissues, nerves,
bones and even of articulation. Pro-
fessor Kuettner, of Breslau, reported
that he had replaced part of femur,
including the joint, with similar parts
taken from a corpse. The patient
died from a tumor some time later,
and post-mortem examination
showed that the united bones had
grown together perfectly.
In two other similar cases the pa
tients were alive and well, Profess
sor Kuettner expressed the opinion
that it will henceforth be regularly
possible to transplant sound articu-
lations from corpses.
Professor Lexer, of Jena, who la
described as inventor of the above
mentioned method of transportation
gave an account of another triumph
in this domain. He introduced to the
congress a lady patient who had at
temped suicide by drinking sulphuric
acid and who had seriously burned
and CONSTRUCTED the esophagus. DR.
Lexer constructed an entirely new
esophagus out of intestine and {
piece of outer grated skin, ant
grated it on instead of the injured
organ. 1t reached from the pharyn2
| to the stomach and proved com
pletely successful, the patient beins
able to swallow solids and fluids
without difficulty. This is apparently
the first time this operation has
been performed, as several othe
+ surgeons present gave accounts o
unsuccessful attempts.
Professor Lexer summed up tn
! achievements attained in transplar
! tation. No complete organ or entir
limb has yet, he said, been success
| fully transpIanted.
DR.. Laewen. of Leipzig, reporte
that he had cured the falling of tn
under lip which resulted from facia
paralysis, by implanting free bone
into the lip. Another case reporte
was the replacing with ivory of tn
damaged parts of an under jaw.

SION"
And he continues, with never a mo-
ment's hesitation, with never a break
in his voice. He is never melodra.
matte never over-emphatic. He talks
slowly, deliberately, like a practiced
orator, marshaling UP his facts with
the deadly sureness Of incontrovertible
statistics. He might be a cabinet min
lister explaining some new legislative
measure to a bored audience. Moth
ing in his voice II gesture betrays
that he is revealing an appalling story
CT murder, theft, robbery, conspiracy,
crime, and vice of every description
that the fate of thirty-six Gagged pris-
oners depend upon his Ciceronic elo-
quence.

in the cage listen impassively; the
Camorra priest Vltozzi, with an indie
scribable expression Of injured limo.
cence on his villainous face, sits inn
movable statue, his chin resting on his
hands, which are supported by a
strong stick. Once only, when the elo-
quent accuser has divulged a particu-
larly discriminating incident, a wave
of Struggling shoulders and other
signs of protest pass through the cage,
and the priest, with an air of almost
grotesque hypocrisy, makes the sign
of the cross and raises his arms heav-
onward as if to implore the Almighty
forgiveness for Abbatemaggio.
But Abbatemaggio sees nothing of
this pantomime.
His memory is amazing. He speaks,
with his melodious, well-modulated
voice, of things that happened long,
long ago; but he remembers every ap.
parently trivial incident. He deveI.
ops the sensational drama hour by
hour, day by day, He has no notes,
but he never contradicts himself. He
is never at loss for words or facts
There is no break in the even flow OF
his polished sentences until it is cut
short by a sudden upToar which eman
ates from the lawyers benches; a
scene of wild excitement, everybody
shouting and gesticulating wildly, and
apparently bullying the judge, who
however, does not allow his temper tc
be ruffed
Indeed, the judge and Abbatemaggic
are the only calm persons in court.
The accuser does not finch for {
moment under the violence of the
storm that his words have raised. He
looks calmly upon the shouting law
: yers, twists his mustache-and wait
for the judge to restore order. Thel
he continues his recital about the do
ings of the Camorra as dispassionatel!
as if he were lecturing before an as
. sembly of science students.

A PSALM OF sTRIFE.

with Apologies to Longfellow)
Tell me, If you can, in numbers,
All the kinds of fowls today
Everywhere disturbing slumbers,
Kept because they always lay.
The hen is real, the hens in earnest
The pot not always is her goal;
Meat thou art, to meat returnest,
Is spoken not of high grade fowl.
In productions field of battle,
All throughout her busy life,
She's ahead of hogs and cattle,
She's a winner in the strife.
She is always up and doing,
Laying early, scratching late,
Faithfully her task pursuing,
with no thought of future fate.
Lives of great hens all remind us
That 1t pays to keep good stock,
And departing leave behind us
Records of pure-bred flock.
Seeing which, perhaps another,
Striving with some worthless strain
a forlorn, discouraged brother,
Taking heart shall start again.

The ACCuSer Of The CamOra

To cages of the Camorrists are now
familiar objects to the public eye. In
the one, resolutely facing the jury,
with one foot thrust slightly forward,
stands a smartly dressed, cookbook
ing, youngish man. A silk bandage
protrudes from the slashed leather of
the boot He has a pleasant, cultured
voice, and he talks "eloquently, dis
passionately, suavely," with balanced
flow of language worthy of a profes-
sional orator. In the other sit thirty
six of the most prosperous, gentle
manipulating Italians one would care
to see. And if this picture is con-
trary to the generally accepted idea,
the reader must go to Viterbo and see
for himself. For P. j. Konody, a cor
respondent of the London Daily Mail.
has just returned from that city and
took in the trial as one of the first of
the sights.
The man in the lone cage was speak
ing:
who is it," l asked my neighbor.
"Why, Abbatemaggio-the accus.
er!"
So this self-possessed, gentlemanly
orator was the ex-Camorrist, the ex-
criminal turned kings evidence!
looked at the thirty-six occupants of
the cage-they were, with few excep-
tions, like Abbatemagglo: well-dressed,
well-mannered, middle-class people,
such as you may meet any day at any
of the better restaurants in prosper
out Italian town. But for the cage it
would have been pardonable to mis-.
take the Gagged murderers and thieves
for the jurymen-and the unfortunate
juryman, who have to sacrifice their
whole time for nine or ten months for
IS. 4d. a day, for the accused Canon
rists.
And Abbatemaggio continues his flu
ent address:
He speaks and speaks until the
Judge rises, mutters a remark-pre-
sumably adjourning the court for an
interval-and leaves the church. The
moment he has disappeared there is
an outbreak of coughing and splitting
Matches are struck in every part OF
the building, and lawyers, jurymen, re-
porters, in fact, everybody in court
begin-to smoke! More surprising
still, a few pressmen leave their gal
lery to approach the cage and to have
a friendly chat with the prisoners and
with Father Vitozzi, who sits with the
air of martyred innocence on a spe
ciaI bench in front of the cage!
The buzz of voices dies down sud
denly;
Cigarettes and cigars are dropped
on the floor. There is a great scraping
of feet as everybody in court rises on
the temperance of the judge. A
final outburst of throat-clearing and
splitting in nave and transepts-jury
men, prisoners, lawyers and audience
joining in the revolving chorus and in
the twofoId Dissertation of church anC
hall of justice. Abbatemaggio leaves
his cage, escorted by two carabinieri
and, with his wonted caImness ant
rnconcern, resumes his Grafton from
the altar steps.

He stated the next morning in expla-
