He'd the skill OF the worlds most
celebrated scientists. 1t was flnally
determined thas a very delicate
operation was the last resort, and
the same was performed in an east
ern hospital. Senator McDerm6tt
recovered sufficiently to leave the

same healthy, good-natured, hail-fel-
low-well-met that he was before
stricken with disease. Upon his ar
rival here he was made the subject
iot many hearty congratulations by
his hosts Of friends both in the city
ard from a distance. 1t makes one
feel good to look at Senator Nc
Dermott now.

Senator Davis EIkins.
There are a whole lot Of people
