seemed. judging from the many gala

which were received daily at the stone

these cards to the maid "She won't

confdentially. But in this he was mis-
taken. for she came smilingly to meet

The old postman was vastly interested
in the unfolding love story. but there
came time when the girl waited In
vain. and he dreaded TO meet her
questioning eyes. for Billy's letters had
ceased abruptly.
Mike pondered deeply. The shrewd
eyes could read more than postal

Lord Panmure Gordon's idea
did not so greatly appeal to Gus

approached about IT, however.
The American public was just be-
ginning to get on to the two for
one idea, and, however humorous
it might be to Lord Pannure
Gordon, investors regarded it in
a different light.
Several meetings took place
between Gustavus Swift and Wee

merger idea proposed by Gordon.
The chief point of these discus

Last evening at 1880 some of he
buckets went out of the big rotor in
the steam turbine at the electric light
power house This rotor runs 5000
revolutions per minute and the buck
cts are on the periphery of the rotor.
If the engine had run another min
ute after the accident it would have
been hopelessly smashed and ruined,
but Ray Rusk, the engineer in charge
at the time, stopped the turbine i'm
mediately as soon as he heard the
terrific noise occasioned by the buck
cts going out.
The electric light company has a
complete duplicate stock of parts for
this turbine, and a large force of men
jured machine. 1t was necessary TO
completely dismantle one end of the
machine and replace the buckets. 1t
was done entirely under the direction
of o. V. Utter, superintendent, and is
considered by engineers to be the
quickest repair of the kind on record.
The same accident happening to the
Lincoln Gas & Electric Co shut their
turbines down for one month, and the
Lincoln Street Railway Co., sustain
ing a similar accident, was without
the use of its big turbine for prac-
tically the same length of time.
People competent to know claim
that the electric light company is en-
titled to great deal of credit for hav-
ing these parts in stock, although this
is the first accident of the kind to the
machine since they have had it, and
that the company is to be congratulated
upon having force of men competent
to make such a quick recovery.

WOULD PENSION MEN
IN LIFE SAVING SERVICE.
Congress Will Be Asked to Provide For
Surfmen Who Do Noble Work.

Simultaneous with the movement for
government clerks pensions another
pension matter will be presented to
congress soon after the session opens,
that for the retirement and pensioning
of employees OF the life saving serv-
Ice. This has been agtated for some
sessions and came near passing at the
last session.
The annual appropriation for the
service amounts to about $4,000, 900
During the past year the total number
OF wrecks assisted by the life saving
crews was 1.4G3 Out OF this large
number there were but seventy four
been for the services of the crews the
large majority would have been total
wrecks.
Looking Mt 1t from q purely CONNER
cial viewpoint there was property. in
Guiding vessels and cargoes. involved
amounting to S11.SSO,535. OF this
amount $lO.057 100 was saved making
n saving of about five times the total
| amount of the appropriation.
From sentimental standpoint there
is no way of calculating the value of
the lives saved, but there were 0.661
people involved in the wrecks. and the
total loss OF life was fftythree.
There was another line of service on
which there are not and never will be
| any details available. That was in the
vessels warned Off the coast, thus pre-
venting any wrecks at all. There were
warned Off last year 243 vessels, more
than half OF them steamers What
| liners there were among them and
how many passengers were saved will
never be known.
1t is for the benefit Of the men who
render this sort of service continually
that an effort is being made to get a
| retirement provision in the law. 1t is
pointed out that the United States life
saving service is not only the largest
| but one of the most efficient in the
world. Like the fremen. they are on
duty all the time. They risk death
every time they 20 to wreck, and if
they did nothing but keep up the night
patrol of the beaches they would be
| doing enough hard work to earn all
the wages paid them.

crews are laid Off without pay in the

being the season for storms and

who is writing his autobiography in

December number that he held high
opinion of Mckinley. He tells the fol.
lowing story, illustrating how McKin.
ley stood up for his own convictions in
the face of powerful influence brought
TO bear by Hanna:
IL know OF my own knowledge that
Mckinley stood against many Of the
corrupt influences within his own par
ty; that he even stood firmly against
the demands of his best friend. Hanna.
mckinley had no sooner been elect.
ed than the Wisconsin machine. back
ed strongly by Hanna. demanded the
appointment of Henry G. Payne as
postmaster general. And with 9TH
ers brought forward the name of Gov
ernor Hoard OF Wisconsin as candi-
date for secretary of agriculture. A
few weeks before McKinley's innaugu-
ration. upon his invitation. l went to
Canton TO see him. When | called
about 10 o'clock he told his secretary
that he would not see anybody else
before = that afternoon. We drove
about town and visited his mother. a
beautiful old lady. We had luncheon
at his house. We discussed at length
the appointment of Payne and Hoard
to the cabinet. | explained to him
what forces Payne represented in Wis
conSin. and indeed he had already
known Payne's work as a lobbyist in
Washington in connection especially
with beef trust matters. and knew he
abOminated that sort of thing. But he
told me that he believed no other man
had ever been so strongly Endorsed by
prominent influential politicians in ev-
cry part of the country as was Payne
for that appointment. When IT was
nearly time for me to go Mckinley
said:

House in the following winter he told
me how the effort to secure Payne's
appointment had eliminated. He said
that Hanna had come to him just be-

said: You may wipe out every obliga-
ton that you feel toward me and I'll
ask no further fnvors of you If you'n

IlCaSI on CT internal Sarotiu'
Demonstrations in advanced surgery
were made in many Philadelphia hos.
pitfalls by famous surgeons for the bene-
tit of delegates assembled to attend the
clinical congress of surgeons of North
America.
An operation considered fatal until
modern surgery lent its aid was per-
formed at the University hospital to
defect the flow of blood from one part
of the injured head Of patient. Its
purpose was accomplished by DR.. John
u. Deaver 10y the legation Of the inter
nal carotid. the principal artery of the
neck supplying blood to the greater
part of the brain. the orbit. internal ear
and the forehead and nose.
The operation stopped the supply of
blood to the brain through this channel,
relieving the congestion. A sufficient
amount. however. to maintain life is
still conveyed by the external carotid
and its branches. and as the injured
portion of the skull heals nature will
adapt itself TO the changed condition.
and the arteries which have been
forced TO do added duty will gradually
dilate until the normal supply of blood
is distributed IN all parts of the head.
