DEAD MAN'S KIDNEY WAS TRANSPLANTED Organ Replaces Diseased One of Patient Who Is Recovering.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 16. One of the most remarkable clinics in surg ery that ever Las been held in this city, and by far the most interesting that has been seen in the present vis it of the surgeons of this country and Canada who are attending the Clinical Congress of Surgeons of North America, was that conducted in the Methodist Episcopal hospital by Dr. L. J. Hammond, chief of staff of the hospital, and a member of the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania. Three difficult operations, each involving a new phase in a field of surgery that by most of the visiting surgeons was thought still to be in the embryonic and experimental stage, were the work of the noted Philadelphia surgeon. Like his clinic of last week, Dr. Hammond's work held the onlookers, many of them older and of longer practice In the profession than himself, spellbound. Almost Perfect Quiet. From the moment ne made an incision into a man's back to remove a diseased kidney until he completed the three operations the drop of a pin could have been heard in the great ampltheater of the hospital. Except for the breathing of those In the room, the slow measured tread near the operating table of Dr. Hammond, bis assistant. Dr. C. II. Gray, or the nurses who were attending, there was absolute quiet. Chief attention was centered on the operation Involving the transplanting of a kidney. This operation included anastomoses of Joinings of blood vessels, and the connecting of the Veins, arteries and other ducts and lands was highly satisfactory. The patient's recovery, the surgeons said today, seemed certain. Dr. Hammond transplanted into the j fatten t's body the kidney of a man who wai killed in an automobile accident Monday afternoon. The man (Operated on yesterday had suffered j (from tuberculosis of the kidney for j several years, and had been under treatment by eminent specialists. Dr. ! Hammond, who has been experimenting with transplantations, suggested the operation for transplantation. The kidney of a man who had been killed was used In place of one of several sound kidneys that had been kept In cold storage for the purpose. The occurrence, according to physicians, though unfortunate for the man who was killed by the motor car, was most fortunate for the subject of an operation, since the kidney of a man killed by accident was much better than that of a man who died of a malignant disease or of old age or the effect of other Illness. This Is practically the first time that an operation of this kind has been made, and according to Dr Hammond's associates, the new kid ney, through the perfect anastomoses of the vessels and ducts, will function ate as well as an ordinary healthy kid' ney. Dr. Hammond's two other operations were similar to others performed last week, one Involving the removal of a cancerous growth, from the breast of a woman. He Needed Secretary. Dngan Is one of the best enfln drivers on the road; but. like many another "old timer." he is much bothered by the multiplicity of reports which the modern order of administration com pels him to write out Recently be took over, as his seniority In the service entitled him to do, one of the big runs and was very proud. But before Jong a cloud began to show Itself on hi usually tranquil brow. "What's the matter?' a crony asked him. "Don't the new run suit yen 7" -Not very well," answered Dugan gloomily.

The chief topic of conversation among music lovers of both the popular and classical schools just now is the coming concert at the Gennett next Tuesday evening by Andreeff's famous Imperial Russian Court Balalaika orchestra and its associate group of Imperial Russian Grand Opera singers. This organization of musicians and singers from the Court of the Russian Czar has nofhin- short of a sensation in the great cities of

the East, and just recently, For instance the Andre-c Indianapolis last Monday eve said in part: "The balalaika lived am! en. Then it languished and ies. Then, contrary to rule er, it still has the punch. "And the audience it it It is possible for a large, i be. That is the plain fact.

The complainant through his attorneys, Shiveley and Shiveley, allege that the crossing is not safeguarded sufficiently and that although there are extraordinary conditions arising at the crossing every day which would Justify the employment of two watchmen, one on either side, the companyonly employes one watchman on each shift The crossing is 200 feet wide and running across it are sixteen tracks, all of which are put to frequent use.

NEGRO WAS STABBED By Another in Fight Over a Knife. In a fight over a twenty-Ive cent pipe, about 9 o'clock last evening in front of Charles Skillen's pool room on Ft. Wayne avenue, Earl Bass was seriously cut with a pocket knife by Harvey Howard. Bass was slashed on the face in several places and was cut in the abdomen. Both are negroes. That the knife was very sharp is evidenced by the fact that one wound was inflicted by the knife going through a tin tobacco can and the point entering the hip. Bass, who filed an affidavit this morning charging Howard with assault and battery, alleges that Howard took his (Bass's) pipe and when Bass ask ed for the pipe last evening when he met Howard in the pool room Howard became angry and started a "rough house." The two went to the outside of the pool room and as they were scuffling Howard pulled the knife from his pocket and slashed Bass. Several stitches were required to sew up the gashes. There is little likelihood of blood poisoning resulting from the wounds it is said. Howard has not been arrested as yet but it is believed he Is still in the city.

Congress last night voted an appropriation of $7,000,000 to crush the revolts which are threatening the government. President Madero has already recognized three separate revolts aimed at his authority and has given orders that they be put down at once. An Acute Sense of Taste Wlliiam and Lawrence were In the habit of saving a part of their dessert from the evening dinner for consumption the next morning, and in accordance with this custom two small cakes had been placed in the cracker jar for them. William, being the first up on the following morning and being hungry, went to the Jar. He found only one cake, and a large piece had been bitten out of that Full of wrath, be went upstairs and roused his brother. "Say," he demanded, "I want to know who took that big bite out of my cake!" "I did," sleepily answered Lawrence. "Wbat'd you do that for?" Well, when I tasted it I found it was your cake, and so I et the other one." Youth's Companion. The attorney demanded to know how many secret societies the witness belonged to, whereupon the witness objected and appealed to the court. "The court sees no harm in the question," answered the judge. "You may answer." Well, I belong to three." "What are they?" "The Knights of Pythias, the Odd Fellows, and the gas company." 33c

DRINK MOST OFTEN CAUSE FOR DIVORCE Marital Statistics in New York City Husbands Frequently Desert. NEW YORK, Nov. 16. -Drink is the cause of more cases of marital unhappiness among the poor than any other one thing," said Leonard McGee, attorney in charge of the Legal .Aid society's headquarters at 239 Broadway. "Also one gets the impression in watching the cases that come before the supreme court that there are more cases of divorce aud separation among the poor than among the wealthy. Perhaps that is because there are more poor people than there are wealthy. Also the causes that make for domestic unhappiness are more numerous amors the poor because of their very poverty. "Lack of money to tuy the necessities ol life, lack of room in the Huio tenements, lack of clothing ami t'.ie opportunity fcr divtrtir,- the mind by going out to entertainments, all tell in the monotonous livo:; of the pocr, and increiite the chances of dome.itu:

In eith r case the mother is left alone, and if he has simply diverted her. and sometimes secures a position, she hus him arrested for nonsuppcrt and perhapa secures a separation and alimony. Many poor men in committing suicide simply disappear and their wives never hear of them again. "But drink remains the chief cause of trouble. It is the rule of this society in all cases to try to effect a reconciliation if the circumstances warrant it. Most of the complainants, ot course, are women. If the husband isn't happy he clears out. He seldom comes to us. "Most of the cases that come before us are wage claims where people have done the work and employers refuse to pay them. Take the quarter last past. In July, August and September there were 3,188 actions for wages and only 579 cases of domestic difficulties. "Prevailing economic conditions are at the bottom of a great number of divorce cases. Thousands of families live in two and three-room tenements. The head of the house earns $9 to $12 a week. There are two or more children. It is impossible for them to get on in the narrow quarters without friction between husband and wife. Disputes follow, then assaults and abandonment. In the first case redress should come from the court of domestic relations. "Many poor girls are married to escape scandal, and such marriages are seldom happy. The wives generally apply for divorce or separation finally if they can't live peacefully. The fast lives that many young men lead before marriage leaves them physical wrecks and when they do marry .they are not happy. But the percentage of wives who seek divorce or separation because of the physical condition of their husbands is small. Many applications for divorce are made by girls married under eighteen years of age without the consent of their parents." THE BEST GIFTS. There are many gifts that are in the power of all to bestow. The best thing to give your enemy, if you have one, is forgiveness, toan opponent tolerance, to a friend your heart, to your child a good example, to a father deference, to a mother conduct that will make her proud of you, to yourself respect, to all men charity.

EIGHT TAKE LIVES LAST FOURMOMTHS Seven of the Eight Who Suicided Did So Because of Despondency. With all previous records "oroken.

Wayne county authorities ar? at a loss to explain satisfactorily to themselves the cause for so many sui;?def-. Since July when K. M. McBayles of Dublin, aged Si. hurled himself under a rapidly moving Pennsylvania flyer there have been eight suicides. . The general cause assigned with one exception was despondency either because of ill health or domestic troubles. The record for the three and a half months equals that of several previous years. About a month after MeBuyles' act, Fred Hasemeier was found drov .u d in Glen Miller lake. Some did. ire that though he had been in ill health, his death was the result of an accident. He was found in the lake on August 4. He was 4S years old. Ot; hieptembtr 11, .Mrs. Hoea M. Hafner drank acrbolic acid. In her case the coroner found that suicide was a heritage. On the iGtirti enth of that month Frank Noruyko, who had been in ill luaith for some time, was found suffocated by hanging. He was 33 years i Id. Andrew Jackeon, aged til, a farm i'.and living two and a half miles south west of Oemerville, committed suicide by. if: ".nkijig carbolic acid on September .;. He leit a note explaining his act and leading friends to believe he was despondent in love. Charles A.

HEW EVIDENCE IN VERMILYA MYSTERY Alleged Poisoner Charged With Strangulation of Stepson s Baby.

CHICAGO. Nov. 1. Strangulation of her step grand-daughter will be charged against Mrs. Louise Vermilya if efforts to convict her of poisoning Policeman Arthur Bisonette fail. vas the startling statement made by ihe police. If the new charge is brought the body of Lillian Vermilya will be exhumed. She was the wife of Fred Vermilya, stepson of the prisoner. Lillian Vermilya died on June 21, 1906, ten days after a child was born to her, in Mrs. Imis Vermilya's former home. The death certificate gave "nephritis and blood poisoning" as the cause. The child disappeared. Fred Vermilya charges his stepmother killed it. This amazing allegation by the stepson has not served to take the police away from their work in seeking poison clews and they have at last officially determined the contents ot the mysterious "pepper box. Fred W. Storick, a druggist at Twenty-ninth street and Cottage Grove avenue, issued a statement for the coroner. He said: Officers Flynn and Dorau and Dr. Van Arsdale brought the mysterious pepper box to me and I opened it in their presence. It contained rough-on-rats and a minute quantity of pepper. The story of Richard T. Smith's acquaintance with Mrs. Vermilya has
