DUNN, HARNETT CO., N.C., THURSDAYMAY 19, 1892 NO.13 A Wonder of Science. One of the most delicate surgical operations ever performed in Ban Fran cisco was that to whirh A. liafetim. a patient at the City and County Hospital, was subjected recently. The operation was remarkable in that an endo3oope, or email eleetric light, wa3 used during the fprocess. This was thrust into the thorac ic cavity, and by it3 illumination the ac jtion of the heart and lungs was plainly msible. I .Baehm wa3 afilcted with an abscess, which had formed in the pleural cavity 'and attacked the left lung. The opera jtion was an exceedingly dangerous one, 'and in order not to shock the patient no 'mention of the intention of the physicians swas made to him. I The sick man was quickly amEithet-f-ized and the inflated breast wa3 exposed to view. A discoloration on the left I i side showed that the trouble lay under the tissue in that direction, and Dr. El lin wood began operations at once by making two deep incisions crosswise, from which the blood spurted in streams, f Several of the larger blood vessels were I ,TirPtiAriItr rut Kilt. tVioco n-prA 'rtiiiflrl x j ---i - - ligatured with Dr. Stulmaa s assistance. The flaps of flesh were laid to one side, exposing the third rib to view. This rib was resected for three inches, and whea it was cut away a dark aud bloody open ing was revealed, through which the thoracic cavity, and the space between the luDgs could be seen. Dr. finshfelder inserted the endoscope through the open ing in Baehm's breast and the light was turned on, illuminating the interior of the cavity with remarkable distinctness. The heart worked slowly, owing to th-j effect of ether. . The aorta dilated and fell with every heart beat. The lung .was also plainly visible. During tte one hour and a half consumed in making the operation the action of the heart was dis tinctly visible, and the unusual sight was the subject of .much comment upon the part of the operators and spectators. When the process was completed an 1 every vestige of pus removed, the endo scope wa3 withdrawn, and the opening in Baehm's breast closed. The operation was a highly successful on&in every par ticular, and Baehm's condition shows that he is gaining strength. Electricity. Tli6 Earth's Southernmost Settlement. There is something pathetic about the description of the town of Punta Arenas, .Terra del Fuego, located on the strait about midway between the two oceans, that town which is the southernmost settlement upon the face of the earth, Fifteen hundred people find life worth living in this place, notwithstanding thi fact that one of the characteristics of ths ceigborhood Is the frequent prevalence of a mighty wind which sweeps dowu from the mountains back of the towi with such force and suddenness as to overwhelm a ship lying broadside on be fore she can swing her head around and ride out the gale. The town itself is miserable collection of huts and hovels, but is a point of great strategic value tc this country as a coaling station in cas of war with a South American power. Professor Lee presented several view of the inhabitants of Terra del Fuego, charming creatures, with their thin, at. tentuated limbs and portly stomachs These beauties allow their hair, to grow long and hang down straight. Theu they plaster it with seal oil and red clay, which hardens ani makes a rooiplet waterproof rovei ia- for their heads. The natives possess the faculty of imitating a 60und and Professor Lee undertook t? teach them a feng. lie succeeded so well that when he departed from their midst A group stood upon the shore and seren aded him with "Father, Dear Father, Come Home With Me Now.' Washing ton Star. ' She Didn't Mean to Propose. A good story is told of a very reverenc and very dignified master of an English college. Although "the doctor'' was i serious man, he was also a kindly one. and when a young man of his college fet ill, did all in his power to procure hin" good care and the best medical advice, Finally the invalid's sister arrived, and as she was young and inexperienced, thi worthy doctor endeavored, by constant attention, to lighten her load of anxiety She was most grateful, and confided t her betrothed, who was at a distance, her desire that only "the dear doctor,' the master of the college, should perforn their wedding ceremony. The student recovered, and was now to aceompanj his sister home, there to be nursed int vigor again. The doctor wa? present tc say good-bye, and the young lady wi full of gratitude. "Doctor," said she, grasping both his hands, "you have beer, so good to me!"' "I have found great pleasure in your acquaintance," said th gentleman, in his most dignified and courteous mauner. "You have done sc much for me, but I am going to ask one more favcr! Will you promise to marrj me?" The doctor", amiable as he was, j, dropped her hands and started back lr horror. "My dear young lady," h istimmered, "I I'm afraid we shouldn't get on together!" Argonaut. Three Miuutes Under Water. The most skillful pearl divers in the world are those of the Tuamotu Archi pelago, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. They think nothing of staying under water three minutes on occasions, and they carry no weights to drag them down to th depths, as do the fisherman of Ceylon. Unlike the latter, they do not stop their ears and nostrils with cot ton soaked with oil, but descend with no other preparation than a few inflations of their lungs. However, they do wear a sort of head dress with spectacles of glass, by the aid of which they are able to look down many fathoms into the clear water and mark the oysters which they propose to gather. Forty years ago it was possi ble to buy with a few handfuls of flour in those Sonth Sea Islands most beautiful molluscan jewels, but since then the fisheries have been so overworked that they arc seriously threatened with exhaustion.

What- are th; great crowds that will attend the Re publican National Convention going to eat, and where will they sleep, are ques tions that are agitating the people here just now to uo small degree, Just how many will be here on that occasion no one can tell, but estimates place the crowd at 50,000. There are but two restaurants in th; city that can be considered first-class and but few others that can furnish any thing but ordinary meals. To overcome this, it is proposed to erect uear the build ing a large uuniber of tents where any person may sleep, and in the. day time they will be used as restaurants, where baked beans, poik and brown bread may be ootaiued jut as they are cooked in the lumber camps. Cooks from the camps will do the work, and the beans will be cooked in the grouud and seasoned after the manner of the wood-chopper. Just how a steady diet of pork, beans, brown bread and black coffee will be relished by the visitors for ten days is not known, but those from aiound Boston will hail this bean carnival with delight.

What Was Accomplished at Birmingham Meeting. the An Address Issued "To the Brother? hood of the National Alliance and Industrial Union. Birmingham, Ala. At the meeting; of Southern Alliance presidents and e-; tcutive committeemen, a committee of ; nine was appointed, headed by McDow-; ell of Tennessee, and C. W. Macune, to ; frame an address to the Alliancemen qf the United States. While the-ccmrnitteje j was at work the conference was occupied j by speech-making and general discu-j sions. In the afternoon the committe'e- reported a long address, which pleads" for harmony and ignores politics. It! was taken up and read by section!, amended and debated. When the matter of throwing the Allj- j ance with the third party came up, a votj was raKen, ana tnemove was aeieaiea py a vote of 21 to 16. After . a long strug gle, a compromise was effected by issu ing the following address, which wajs adopted, after which the meeting ad journed: I To the Brotherhood of the National Alli ance and Industrial TJnian: f We, the presidents and executive offi cers of the States of Tennessee, Kei tucky, Missouri, Texas, Louisiana, MijM sissippi, Alabama, Georgia, West Virgii- ia and t londa,- together with members pij our national executive committee, natio"n! al legislative committee, national judi-j; ciary committee and President L. Polk, having beeu called together. in council to consider the reported peculiar conditions in the order in the Southeiqi States, which it was believed seriously' threatened that harmony, brotherly loye' and unity of action so necessary to thd success of our cause and the success p the order iu these State', after counsel ling together and hearing detailed re ports, rejoice to say to you that we fqej greatly encouraged and inspired by tpe. plendid spirit of uuity and determined adherence to principle which pervades the order in nearly every one of these States, notwithstanding the combined eff forts of our enemies to sow seed of disjl cord in our ranks pending the heated poj nticai contest?, local ana national. We therefore feel it. our. duty, as vants of the Deorle we reoresent.f ins upon the outrosts and watcJa-f. rt of this the greatest political revolurrSri; ever known to the nation, to say to youj that we have entered a crucial period nj; the history of our great reform move-; ment, in which the greatest caution earnest deliberation and strict adherenp4 to our principles are necessary to preserjrs intact that organ'zation which stands fof: day as the sheet-anchor and hope 'p millions of wealth producers in the grdu battle for the God given rights of hii inanity. . 'You are congiatulated upon the grea harmony and unitv of sentiment in re gard to Alliance principles which pre! vails within your borders, and upon thj fact that a careful canvass of the sub jet at this meeting has shown that pracfi cally the members of the order in these S.atcs stand squarely upon the demands with the avowed determination of hold ; ing devo'ion to fhera above that to ajj method of action, and that today tji'i number of those who so endorse the prn,"! ciples of the Alliacce is much greafe than ever oetore. A sentimeut also prevails, strong af uniform, that this great order, as an iri ganization, is the greatest of all moden forces for the spread of reform eduo-a?? tion; and that its work must be per pe tin-; ated and encouraged in this high spherjej' entirely free fiom any partisan entangle ments. t ! The ouly dangers which seem in aiy way to threaten a lack ol the fullest de velopment and prosperity of the orrfe are those which attend the disposition sb a tew m.n ana papers to puimciy criuj cise and condemn others for their meth ods; This is not of sufficient 'extent jtov damage the order, but it mars that per; feet unity that should prevail, aud lilj wa s injures all concerned.' and it is trary to the-pirit of brotherly love ajyi forbearance that should prevail, j " Another evil, which fortunately pre vails only in a very few localities, is the disposition of members to seek political oflite at the h;:nds of their brethieu, for getting that principle of All:nnce doc trine which declares that the office should seek the man ani not the man the office. In consideration of these views a? to the situation, the following rules of ac tion arc suggt stcd, as well calculated to enable the order to g through the com ing ordeal of a fierce political contest and come out stiengthened and purified: 1. Let a spirit of harmony prevail and let uuity of ?.f lion be the rule. Let none condemn a bit ther who stands squarely by the principles of the order or speak in any way disp-uingly or disrespectfully of him lrrcaue they may difler as to the best methods of enforcing our principles. -Graut to every brother honesty of pur pose. 2. Let fealty to the principles of the order be. the true and onby test of mem bei ship, and let those who value their partisan affiliations moie than their Alli ance obligations be informed that their order demands strict aud full devotion to its principles, and leaves each to his own choice as to methods, but that the method can in no case control the princi ple, and therefore all who affiliate should accept as suprunt the principles of the order. - . '. Evety r .ember who takes the obli gation -ilwuys aduiiuistered to those who join is hrst told, as a condition precedent upon which all that is to fo'low is predi cated, that it Miall ia uo way interfere with your political or religious iiberiy. Therefore, this order, as such, or any of its branches, has no right to take any partisan, political or sectarian religious action. We urge upon the brotherhood of all ref. r.n organizations, and all good citiztns who believe, as we do, that the enactment of laws based upon our d -mands is for the preservaMon of the free institutions of our Government and to rescue the ma m.' from degrade i servi tude, tlint they u-e all hono able means to secure th-. election of men to our na tional legislative councils who ttand r pledged to work for the passage of such laws. Finally, brethren, remember that de votion to our principles can only te em phasized and our influence made effec tive by voting for our demands at the ballot box. Tfe send greetings to the brotherhood in the North and the Great Northwest, and assure them that our hearts beat in unison with them in their efforts for industrial freedom, and we will stand by them in all laudable efforts to redeem this country from the clutches of organized capital, and that we will stand with them at the ballot box for the enforcement of the demands: Signed by all the members of the con ference One Alliance president in his speech burst into tears while he spoke for the Third party. It was the insertion of the paragraph in the address thit reads, "Finally, brethren, remember that devo tion to our principles can only be empha sized and our influence made effective by voting for our demands at the ballot box," that caused harmony to prevail in the meeting and prevented a boit. fllVER AND HARBOR BILL PASSED Washikgtov D.

One woman fell into the river while jumping from the boat into a skiff. She was saved from drowning by Capt. Strutman, who had gone to the rescue 'of the frightened passengers. Dozens of horses are destroyed and hundreds of acres of farm land covered by the floods There is danger of the Missouri current changing to its old channel, which will entirely destroy the bar which wa3 formed about twenty years ago by the channel changing.

The members of the whfte posts of the Grand Army of the Republic have determined to stick bj Department Commander Frederick Speed" who has been suspended by the National Commander for . his refusal to recognize the posts in the district composed of negroes. Commander Speed has sent a circular to ' all the white veterans and members of the order protesting against the recognition of the negro posts, on the ground that they were hastily organized by their commander and in a spirit of pite, because the order4 refused to turn out at Jefferson Davis's funeral.

A single bee, with all its industry, energy and innumerable journeys it has to perform, will Dot collect more than a. teaspoonful of honey in a single season. CALL WANTS CUBA Mr Peffer Womi the Senate With Pleaant Music. Waesckotoic, D. C Sexatb. Mr. Dawes introduced a joint resolutionwhich was referred, authorizing the President to proclaim a genera; holiday on tne in of Qctober, .1892, the 400th anniversary of the "discovery of America. Mr. Hiscock offered a bill which was referred, making similar provisions to those accorded the steamships City of New York and City of Paris, for grant ing an American registry, to the steamship China. Mr. Call, of Florida, turned his atten tion to West India affairs and offered twr resolutions, which were ordered printed and referred to the committee on foreign relations The first provided for a joint committee of three Senators and four Representatives to inquire into the con dition of Cuba and the Lands kuown as the Antilles, the Bahamas and the Wind ward Islands, their commercial and mili tary relations with the United States and to report to Congress such legislat ion as may be necessary to improve the com mercial and political relations of the United States with those islands. 'Mr. Call's second resolution authorized the President to open negoiations with Spain for the purpose of iuducing that govern ment to consent to ihc establishment on the Island of Cuba of a "frec-and inde pendent republic upon the payment to Spain by Cuba of a sum equal to the value of the public property and the surrender of foreign rights in said islan 1. Mr. PciTf r calltDgup pro forma the President's bi metallic message, addressed the Senate in favor of the, free coinage of silver. The reading of Mr. Peffer"? speech' occu pied over two hours. . In illustration of his remarks and by way of an object, lesson he exhibited silver coins ranging in date from a dollar coined in 195 un : der the original act, down to the present time. The jingling of the money pieces as one by one he rung them down on thf desk in front of him, had a curious f ffert in the Senate chamber. At the close of Mr. Peffer's remarks the Senate proceeded to the consideration of the naval appropriation bill w ith the Sen Hie amendments. The bill was read by seetiona and all the committee's report agreed to up to the point where the in t rease of the navy came in. The appropria tion of $500,000 towards the expense of th international naval review in connection with the Columbian Exhibition adopted without a division . y Does the Xornlnz Glory Enlran Beesf A city correspondent, G. A., writes to the agricultural editor to inquire if I "have ever noticed that the honey bee it sometimes caught a prisoner in the lovely morning glory and held there until re leased by some hand pulling the closed flower from the stem?" G. A. proceeds: 'I have observed it when in the country, but the statement has been met with so much doubt by a botanist that I now re fer to you to settle the matter, and hope that you will favor mo with a reply." With regard to the morning glory I regret that I am not able to definitely confirm the observation. It is probabls that during very warm sunny mornings the flowers might crumple up with suffi cient rapidity to entrap bees that had pushed themselves very far down into the tube in the attempt to reach the nectar inaccessible, I should think, to an insect with so short a tongue as the honey bee. The latter, as well as various other in sects, are, however, occasionally taken prisoners in such flowers as close up at night or upon the approach of a storm. The crocus, for instance, frequently folds its perianth over its winged visitors, and in early spring the captured insect often perishes over night with cold or from the exhalations of the flower. The capture of insects by plants, either by apparent design or inadvertence, af fords a most interesting subject for ob servation. St. Louis Republic Two Nore Negro Bishops. .Pitt burg, Pa.

Lionesses and TI gresses Have "Nerves" A correspondent of the Vossiche Zei iung, writing of the menagerie connected with the Paris National History Museum, says the lionesses and tigresses and fe male leopards, are subject to 4,uervef,M and frequently have to be treated with large doresof brom-kalium to calm them. The elephant suffers from toothache, and one of its teeth had to be stuffed. The acrarinu rrpature endured the oneratioa o .- of filling and boring with great patience, only rapidly waving its trunk when th pain was violent. When all was over it showed its gratitude by caressing M. Sauverre with the finger-like extremity of its proboscis. New York Tribune. An Ex-Bank President Convicted. Fatbttevillk, N. C E. E.
