It was first assembled apon the com pletion of the New York conference and Its object was preparation for the confer ence with President Burt which It was understood would ensue here. Since then the body baa met regularly every week and the good results It has produced have bwen so obvious that per manent organization has been decided upon.

An uncon firmed rumor was current among shipping m?n late laat night to the effect that the transport Dix had gone down this side cf Yokohama with all on board. - No de tails were given of the wreck, and it was Impossible to locate any credible origin for the story. Dlx sailed from this port beccmber SI, bound for Manila, via Nagaeakl, where It is not due for two days yet. The cargo consisted of 1,500,000 feet of lumber and 998 tons of forage. Captain Hopkins wss in charge of the transport, with Captain Theodore Stern berg, U. S. A., In command of the vessel Dlx waa acquired by,tho government dur ing the war with Spain and Is one of the largest freighters owned by the United States. MaJof G. S. Bingham of the quartermas ter's depsrtment stated early this morning that he had received no word of the wreck. He stated that when he gave the sailing orders to Dlx It wss to proceed directly to Nagasaki. There was coal sufficient for the trip to Manila and return. On the re turn to Nagasaki ballast coal was to be taken aboard and the transpoft was to come .directly to Seattle. Tht course to Nagasaki would bring the transport in the route ot the Japanese steamers, and it Is possible thst the re port may have come from this source. ELLSWORTH, Ken.. Jan. 23.

When you go to - see his show, always remember that he Is far and away the most Interesting aad historic thing In It. . He represents an epoch that la aassed sway 1 that can never return. He Is Indeed as i much of aa anachronism as though he were oae of the middle age warriors who had worn armour aad gone to Palest I Be, to win 1 back the Holy Sepulchre from the hande of the Moslem.

"The van used in transatlantic mov ing are lift vans.

Nearly $1,000 was secured from the saloon proprietors and customer. The robbers were young men, but there Is no clue to their Identity. cullarttlee It is a peculiarity of moat men ot action Is that he narrates all things- even the most picturesque and remarkable in the language of sober and reserved prose, though also with that abundance of detail which marks out the true story teller. Terse pointed, simple, modest, the conversation of Buffalo Bill baa the same extraordinary charm as his own personality, with Its combination of plcturesqueneas, bravery, and yet herolo unconsciousness. One of the singular things about Buffalo BUI Is his close resemblance to Mr. Parnell. He has the same red-Mint brown eye, the ssme dreamy expression when he goes off Into a reverlo; the nose Is long, strslght, beautifully chiselled In the one face as In ths other, snd perhaps there is even a resemblance In the terseness and simplicity with which the two men have always ex pressed themselves. Finally, both are alike in that strange magnetism and attractive neas which charm you Irresistibly and yet almost unaccountably Bee Buffalo BUI If you want to learn something of a hero and a heroic age. A' paper which has attracted universal attention was resd at the laat meeting ot the New York Obstetrical society. In which there was narrated by Dr. Charles C. Bar rows ofvthts city the history ot a case of blood poisoning of the most severe type known- to medical science, reported to have been cured by the injection of a solution of formaldehyde Into the veins of a dying woman. Many eases of severe blood poisoning, comments the New York Sun, bsve recov ered without the Intravenous injection ot any. antiseptic, Including even that most severe aad usually fatal type which fol lows childbirth, In neglected or Infected la bors; bat from the symptoms in thfe par ticular ease, as given by a conscientious and careful observer, there can be no doubt that a marked impression was made upon the septic process by theuse of formalin.

Formalin (dertved from formic aldehyde) Is a term applied to a gaseous body ex tracted from methyl, or wood alcohol, when submitted to oxidation. Methyl alcohol was discovered by Boyle In J661, but Its derlv atives hsve only come Into medical and surgical use wlthlu recent years. The president of the New York Obstet rlcal society Is reported In the Bun of January 18 to have said that "without further trial and taking the case as It stands, the discovery ot Dr. Barrows Is the most Importsnt contribution to medical science of thlB generation. If it shall prove a cure tor blood poison or even It It cure only a certsin proportion of cases, or If It does no more than to open the door tor the curative agent yet to come, It will be difficult to estimate its value to the human race; but 11 snouia be borne in mind that the discovery of tho rerm theory of disease, advocated and es tabllshed by those two cniers among vue immortals ot science Pasteur snd Lister comes within this generation so rile with .i.riiinf discoveries.

Trovlalon is made for Increases of wages according to the length of service, and every satisfac tory man will receive a gratuity of $15 nt tho close of each ;-ear. Employes who are deemed to be unfit for any duty In the service after continuous employment of twenty-five years, or who hav rvached the age of 60 and have been continuously employed for fifteen years, will bo paid $25 a month during their lifetime. The wages of elevated guards will be ad" vanoed from $2 for ten hours' work to $2.10, and brnkemen are to be raised from $1.75 to $1.85; surface road employes will re ceive $2.30, $2.35 and $2.40 a day hereafter, according to length of service. This action is far In advance of any prop osition made to employee by any street railway corporation In the country. The Increases, especially the compensation to men under Instruction, have not been sug gested by the employes at any time, and the broad scope ot the benefits announced surprises the men. The pension system an nounced has been adopted by no other street railway company, and only recently have one or two steam roads trade such provision tor faithful and infirm servants. At the present time, when the rosd hlr a man, he Is required to work for noth ing for one to two weeks. Realizing that It Is a hardship for a man to work even a week or two without remuneration, the road officials decided to pay learners $1 for every day of ten hours.

MASSAGE 01 THE HEART Oraaped the Vital Organ nf a Dying Man aad Iteatored Ufa by Squeeslng. Massage of the heart, in case of Its stop page, to revive Its movements, has been recommended and experimentally demon strated, says Public Opinion, but the first succeasful case of Its tee In man was re ported by Dr. K. A. Starling, at a recent meeting of the British Society of Anaes thetists. In an operation for appendicitis on a man agod 65 undr nltroua oxldo and other anesthesia, both pulse and respira tion ceased together, and artificial respira tion and traction on the tongue failed to revive them. Then the surgeon, Mr. Ar buthnot Lane, pushed his hand up through I the abdominal wound and grasped the mo tionless heart through the diaphragm. Ha . squeezed It and felt it atart pulsating, though no radial pulse could be felt. Arti ficial respiration and other restoratives were continued, and In about twelve mtn. utes natural respiration reappeared and the pulse became perceptible at the wrlet. The operation was thfn completed without the use of the anesthetic and the patient made good recovery, with, however, some dla- phragamatlc tendcrneas. This rough-and-ready method and its sue- ccbs In this caae Is suggestive of Important posHlblllttes and demonstrates that cutting operations in these cases are not eaNential and can be avoided. The previous failures followed extensive exposures, of the heart either by rib resection or Inclnlon through the diaphragm, as recommended by Mau clalre (in two cases).
