The dignified gentleman looked at

with some difficulty, withdrew his

Marvellous SurricaI Feat.

An exsoldier, named Rlomquist, has
Just been pronounced cured, In Stock
holm, Sweden, after one of the most
remarkable operations on record. A
year ago Blomquist was accidentally
shot in the head during the maneuv-
ers, and it was found that one half of
the brain had been injured, and that
the only chance of life for the patient
lay in its removal After much de-
liberation by the doctors the perilous
operation was performed, with the
marvellous result that within @ few
weeks Blomquist recovered. He was
in full possession of all his faculties,
but on being tested in the matter of
reading and writing, he was found to
have entirely forgotten the meaning
of the alphabet and numerals. One of
the doctors undertook to re-teach him
all the forgotten lore, and after a not
very considerable time and much in
dustry, Blomquist is again able to
read and write. He has now left the
nursing home, where he has been
under the care of the doctors, and re-
turned to work on his farm. He is
robust in health and shows no trace
physically or mentally of the ex-
traordinary experience he has had

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. April - The advance in
stocks which began yesterday was con-
tiheed Tor d time, today. and there
seemed To he a disposition to take mo. e
cheerful view of market conditions. hFe
upward movement was of small dimen-
sions. Union Pacific being the only one of
TIE leaders to gain rs much as point,
but advances were general and the mar
ket gave evidence of strength. The sup
|plN of stocks was small, hardly meet
ing requirements for. short COVERINGS
began to ease off. and gradually the
early gains melted away In the last
hour the tone became heavy southern
Pacific leading in the decline. Net
changes in most cases were fnSiSnll-
can't
The change in the market apparently
was due to the fact that the short inter-
est had been reduced on the advance OF
tWp to three points from yesterday : low
prices, with a CONSEQUENT weakening of
the technical position. Other considera-
tons however, played part. Fhe at
tack on the New Haven management
during the Interstate Commerce Commits
Sion's hearings in Boston was responsible
for selling which forced that stock be-
low the low records established few
weeks ago. The stock sold down nearly
four points to li0i, the lowest figure Tor
over a quarter of Il century. Bear trad
ers attempted to make capital out OF
President Wilson's feSSage to Gaillof-
MIA, but Wall Street refused to consider
the Japanese question seriously as a
stock market influence.
The March report of Baltimore ONO,
the first of the great trunk line systems
to present a statement since the Hoods
interrupted traffic, showed severe losses
from that source. Instead of the gains
in gross and net which the road had
been reporting for some time. today :
statement disclosed decline of 5000
i'm operating revenue and s1.e09.009 in net
earnings cutting more than in half the
net gain for the preceding eight months
of the fiscal year.
Trading in bonds decreased. and the
movement Was unstable. Total sales, par
value $1.sia0ao United states bonds
were unchanged ON call.
