Towel Sewed Up in Her.

A towel. yard long and a foot wide
with red border, was accidentally
sewed up inside Mrs. Mollie' Myers
when she was operated on in st. Vim
cents hospital in November, 1905. &C
cording to an affidavit filed with the
supreme court by DR.. BENJAMIN Fried
man, formerly of this city, now living
in Hungary. Mrs. Myers holds DIR
Herman ]. Boldt, Of No. 80 East Six
ty-frst street, responsible and has
sued him for damages.
DR.. Friedman asserts that when he
recovered the towel, after 1t had re
mained five weeks inside Mrs. Myers
1t bore the label "St. Vincent's Hos
pital."
"A few days later" alleges DR.. Fried
man, Il met DR.. Boldt, who told me
that he had sent the towel to the New
York County Medical association al
a curiosity, indicating the great vital
ity of the patient. Mrs. Myers told me
she was going to sue DR.. Boldt, and ]
told him Of this. He said he was in
sured against such accidents and that
he did not care. as such an accident
could not hurt his reputation. He ad
mitted at the time that he might have
left the towel in Mrs. Myers body"

VAST WEALTH GOES TO WASTE
Annually Hundreds Of Thousands Of
Tons Of suIphurie Acid Are Car.
ried or by Streams.

One of the most interesting Of the
byproducts Of the coal mine Is sui
phuric acid. Coal veins contain sui
phur. most commonly in chemical COM
bination with iron. The poorer the
coal the more sulphur is there. Such
compounds. becoming oxidized, form
sulphuric acid. great quaStities OF
which in a free state are continually
draining f.om the mines into the rivers.
This sort of thing is going on at
such a rate that the amount of sui
phuric acid carried away by the
streams of the coal region of penn
sylvania In the course of a year has
been estimated by the water re-
sources branch of the government
geological survey at 100000 tons-a
quantity equal to more than two
thirds of the total sulphuric acid con-
sumed in twelvemonth in the United
States for industrial purposes.
Sulphuric acid has many uses in the
arts. Among other things, 1t is en-
ployed to clean iron before the latter
is galvanized; likewise in the treat
ment of sheet iron for making tin
ware, and the wire for fences and
nails. For these and other purposes
10000 tons of it are consumed annual.
ly in and about the city of Pittsburg.
Mark. then, the pity of the circum.
stances that. as determined by the
government exports, no less than 95,.
900 tons of sulphuric acid flows in a
year past the town of Mckeesport, in
the YoughiOgheny river-that is to
say, 10000 tons more than is utilized
1ndustrially in Pittsburg and it's vi.
c1nity during the same period.
To nut the case otherwise, fully
Sl,2OO.OOO worth of sulphuric acid, pro-
uuced by nature, is carried away every
year by one stream in a ncighborhood
Where the same stuff is required for
use by thousands OF tons in factories
Here is problem for the industrial
chemist to solve-the obvious Difficult.
" In the way being that the solution
of acid is so very dilute that attempts
to concentrate it would be likely to
prove Improbable.
incidentally, the acid robs the
streams of all their oxygen, kills the
usnes. and attacks structures of iron.
tt literally eats up bridge piers, lock
gates. etc.. and at the present time is
making lot of trouble in the govern
ment canals along the headwaters Of
he Ohio.

Montgomery Market

Montgomery. March 2S-(Speeial.) )- The local produce market today was well supplied with all the vegetables that can be procured at this season of the year. While vegetables are to some extent scarce dealers by assidious searching were able to procure an ex- eellent supply of housrnold provisions today and these were all in good de- mand. The high prices that have been in evidence for the past few weeks still obtained today.
 Eggs have dropped to 20 cents per dozen and there Is A steady demand for them. Dealers do not apprehend any increase in price within the near future.
 Bananas today were cheaper than they have been for weeks. selling at two dozen for 15 cents. Fierce compe- tition In the fruit market drove the price of bananas down to the figure.
 The cotton market was unchanged. Strict middling sold at f0B cents, and middlng at 10A cents.

Weekly Cotton Statistics

New Orleans, March 3.-The cotton market this week finished almost at last weeks closing level, the trading months showing a net range of ? points up to 4 points down The high prices were made on Saturday and the low prices on Monday At the highest the trading months were to 8 points over last week s 19 points under The range of prices was 20 to 25 points.
 Unfavorable weather news was the chief support of the market during the week. While weather conditions were not wholly unfavorable, enough rain fell, especially toward the week end, to cause farm work to be suspended in not few sec tions and this made nervous shorts cover on large scale. Longs. late in the week, particularly. showed more desire for profits than to increase their com mitments and their offerings on the clos ing session only too plainly held prices down.
 Reports from the belt caused the be- lief that the new crop was starting In a very spotted way The earliest sections of Texas reported considerable cotton up and planting was done on large scale in other parts of the state. Louis lana also did considerable planting, but in the eastern portions of the cotton region many sections complained that crop preparations were still very back ward
 Labor news did not furnish anything very startling. The better turn in for eign labor troubles encouraged the bulls somewhat, although they were disposed to trade cautiously in view of the threat ened coal strike-in this country.

COTTON HIGHER ON
 ACTIVE COVERING
Opening Firm at Advance With Close Showing
 Net Gain

New York, March 2S.-The cotton mar
 ket was higher today on rather active covering by recent sellers who were doubtless influenced by reports of renewed | rains in the south and prospects of un- favorable weather over Sunday. The
 close was steady and last prices showed
 a net gain for the day of from to 10 points.
 | Opening was firm at an advance of to 10 points on better cables than expect l ed, bullish reviews of the dry goods trade, and more optimistic view of the labor situation and the weather map
 showing practically general rains in the
 south with heavy precipitation at some points. Realizing and a little local sell ing which was encouraged by the absence of support from the leading bull brokers | checked the advance after prices had shown a net gain of about 10 to 13 points
 and eased the market off or points in the later trading.
 The forecasts pointed to continued un- settled weather in the south over the
 week end and private advices from sev-
 eral points in the eastern belt claimed
 that the rains would cause further de-
 lay in farm work which in connection with the encouraging reports from the cotton goods trade were considered the
 chief factor on the advance. Private ad- vices from England reported better feel ing with reference to the coal strike sit
 uation and expectations of next week, and while the dispute in the domestic coal fields were still said to be causing some
 anxiety, the opinion was expressed tn
 local trade circles this morning that the
 offer of a 10 per cent advance in wages by the Fall River mills would lead to
 gradual settlement of the wage disputes in New England textile mills. The south was considerable buyer here on the advance. supposed on the unfavorable weather news, and there also
 was foreign buying, following better ca-
 bles than expected, but 1t was reported
 around the ring that the leading old crop
 bull interests were again reducing sheir lines on the advance.
