A Wonderful Surgical Operation Which Was Recently Performed. From the New York Herald. Next to the pleasure of being known as @ silver tongued orator comes that of hav- ing a gold jaw. Of that unusual possession a prominent physician of this city boas yet he experiences no different feeling w it, so exactly is it adjusted, than any one else does with a commonplace, everyday jaw. Some time previous to its acquisi- tion le suffered from a throat trouble, such as Gen, Grant had, called epitielioma. Sur- geons treated it by heroic measures. To reach the spot where the malignant growth lay, under the tongue and near the thorax, necessitated an operation wherein the lower jaw was entirely cut in two and a portion of it rercved and important muscles were severed. Tien the two parts of the lower jaw were laid back to allow the surgeon to work under the roots of ine tcngue. A peculiarity of the case at this juncture lay in the fact that the muscles on each side of the mouth being independent of one another, the several parts of the low v could Lot work in unison. ‘The masseter muscle, attached to the smaller remaining portion of the jaw, contracted in the pro- cess of healing, and the doctor, who nad been a fine locking man before the opera- tion, now Went about with a missuapen face. The masseter is one of the strongest muscles in the system, being the only one that does not act as a lever, but having a straight pull. Notice, in illustration of its power, how the boy who wishes to eracic a nut puts it between the molars, and then wills the masseter to crush ahead, or the playful puppy, who knows by instinct where his best grip is, struggling with a bone. ; A dental surgeon now came to the rescue. It took a knowledge of the power of ma- chinery, an inventive faculty and the skill of a sculptor in addition to the D.D.’s regu- lar acumen. A jackscrew with a ball and socket joint —eractly such as would be used to raise a locomotive, except in miniature—had to be resorted to, and the jaw was jacked open, requiring a strain of several days, to com- pel the powerful masseter muscles to relax. ‘THis accomplished, a wedge was put in to keep that part of the mouth apart; then the jackscrew was used to force the larger segment of the severed Jaw back to its original circle, where {t was held by a splint so devised as to be removable, till it had regained its normal condition, where- upon a gold jew ard tecth were modcied to fill the space and also bind the two sections of the Jaw together. By the afd of the surgeon’s knife the disease had been entirely removed, and, followed up by this remarkable feat of dentistry, the articulation and occlusion re- stored and mastication rendered as com- plete as before the operation. Previous to the dental work, his food was pushed through the orifice between the upper and lower jaws. Another point of interest Iles in the an- neuncement that new cartilage is forming across the chasm, and it ts hoped in the course of a year or so to find the jaw work- ing independent of the gold one. ———+e+-____ Wenther and the Mind. The psychology of the weather is sug- gested by Dr. T. D. Crothers as a promising subject for study. He says, in Science: Very few persons recognize the sources of error that come directly from atmospheric conditions on experiments and observers and others. In my own case I have been amazed at the faulty deductions and mis- conceptions which were made in damp, weather, or on days in which the air was charged with electricity and thunder storms were impending. What seemed clear to me at these times appeared later to be filled with error. An actuary in a large in- surance company t{s obliged to stop work at such times, finding that he makes so many mistakes, which he ts only conscious of later, that his work is useless. In a large factory from 10 to 20 per cent less work is brought out on damp days and days of threatening sterm. The superin- tendent, in receiving orders to be delivered at a certain time, takes this factor into cal- culation. | Mrs. R. H. Gunnell, Presiding Luther RB. Rev.

The old structure of wood was built in 1851 during the rectorship of Rev. Alfred Holmead, who servad for a period of twen- ty-five years. Mr. Holmead worked very hard to buill up the parish, and a large share ef its srowth is due to him. Since then successive rectors have had charge of the parish. Rev. Dr. Thomas O. Tongue is the present rector. The old structure was very shaky, and it was found necessary to take it nearly all to pieces. A new roof has been built and carried haif way down the sides. The west wail has been brought to within eight feet of the building line and a tower placed at the northwest corner of the church. A furd has been started with which to pur- chase a handsome bell and place it in the belfry. Repairs have beea made to the ex- tericr that will greatly enhence its appear- ance, and to the irterior, which will have an equally good effect. Three memorial windows have been put in and a fine rew orgun is being built. In addition to the work on the church, a parish hall of brick, 21 by 85 fest, has been erected, and will rnish increased accommodaticn for the wing § in beth t been brary bbath schcel.

None of them have anything to be proud of. They are subject to more or less chafling by those who re- mained at home. Some,of them have tried to make it appear that they have not been out in the campaign at all. Others are taking their time in getting back, so as to allow the storm to blow over. Those who went away to vote and returned in time to be at their desks the next day after election were very hard to convince that the affair had res happened. They felt for two or three days that some mistake had been made. Probably those men from Georgia had the best time of any. Quite a large number of them were in the Georgia campaign from the Interior Department when the state showed a. considerable slump inthe first election a month ago. When they returned they were severely guyed by the other democrats about the influence they exerted while they were down south. They evidently felt that they had not come up to expectauons, but they did not have to wait long for an oppor- tunity to turn the tables. These is scarcely a returning politician Who does not come m a district where not only losses were he Goor- in view of a solid democratic think they have the best of democrats. ce 7 ee A Halloween prank which aroused the ire of some and amused many was perpetrated by some boys, who placed high over the door of the Young Women's Christian Home, where it was not discoverad by the ates uni late the next day, a large hoard, which had been painted black pore the inscription in giaring white letters: Rooms to Rent.

One of the newspaper men who went down to Aquia creek, to look over the spot where the train on the R., F. and P. was robbed, relates his experience in getting off rush matter. From Quantico to Widewater he picked up some information which he thought would be Interesting. He wrote it out and filed it at Widewater for the after- noon papers, and went on to Aquia. Find ing nothing of interest to keep him at the lonesome place, he took the next train north and came to Widewater, in time to find that his dispatch had not*been filed, and that the operator had determined to send it to Quantico, where the telegraph facilities were much better. The news- paper man took the dispatch himself to Quantico, and, as there was still time to catch the last edition, he filed it with a re- quest to “rush,” and came back to Wash- ington, where he arrived nearly two hours after filing his dispatch. He got to the office and was about to inquire after it when the telegraph boy came rushing in with the first of it. He has since then learned that this was real speed down in “Ole Virginy.”” ys there is the south. e-e « Less bitterness was occasioned, probably, by the results of Tuesday's election than by any expression of public sentiment ever made at the polls. The republican victory was 80 complete and overwhelming that it blotted out every opportunity for explana- tion and all chances for the charges and counter-charges that usually follow the re- buke of a national party. The disaster was so widespread and all-pervading that sur- prise was the only sentiment possible, and no one could be found rash enough to at- tempt to place the responsibility for it. States whose democrats had voiced their adherence to President Cleveland, and com- monwealths in which the party 1ad formal- ly criticised his methods, went down alike in the destruction, and for the first tine in the country’s political history a contest was settled without leaving the defeated participants lamenting over things undone by this leader or things overdone by that. Accordingly, there is more good-nature than usual shown by vanquished and victors alike and both republicans and democrats appear to be getting as much fun out of the situa- tion as possible. 2 An excelient story is being told, of which Col. Robert Christy, the well-known lawyer and wit, and a prominent treasury official are the central figures.

If, in a moment of absorption in other things, she forgets the fact that she has discarded stockings, she is promptly re- called to a sense of her loss by the keen discomfort of her feelings. She cannot for an instant remember what is the matter with her, and the sickening conviction that her garter has slipped is the first explana- tion that occurs to her, Then she remem- bers and her horror passes, but the dis- comfort remat Of course, socks are chilly. Of course, they do away with the ornate and beauti- ful garter, with its jeweled clasp. Of course, they make the wearer keenly un- comfortable. She dreads a windy day as she would a plague. A step to a carriage or from @ train assumes a proportion which horrifies her. But she has the gratifying consciousness that she is wearing what fashion demands, and that is sufficient to sustain most women in almost any emer- gency. The socks which have appeared so far for feminine wearers are mainly black. So far silk and lisle thread are the only ma- terlals which have been made into these forms of footgear.

Small flowers, rosebuds, forget-me-nots and tiny blossoms which it puzzle the botanist to identify, are also wrought in silk on the new socks. This most uncomfortable fashion will probably reach New York simultaneously with the winter winds, slush and snow.

Pari rity 18 UNIVERSITY NOTES Columbian University. Mr. Bulkley has begin his course in declamation and elccution, and on Monday last Messrs. Ward, Stuart, Sterrett and Tyssowski declaimed remarkably well. An addition has been made to the faculty of the Preparatory School in the person of Mr. George M. Henning, a son of the well- known banker of this city. Mr. Henning graduated with high honors at Harvard, and afterward studied French in Paris. Mr. Ben. L. Fairchild of New York, who was elected to Congress, was formerly a student at the university, having taken the degrees of LL. B., 1883, and LL. M., 1885, Mr. Henry M. Baker, just re-elected to the House from New Hampshire, was also a student, and took the degree of LL. B. in 1866. Mr. William lL. Wilson of West Vir- ginia, who was defeated for Congress, was not only a most succersful student at the university, having taken four degrees, those of A. B.,, A. M., LL. B., end received LL. D., but was also professor of Latin from "66 to ‘71. The Enosinian Society held a meeting on Friday and the following members were elected to the various offices: President, Mr. E. A.

Hagen, with his assistants, Frs. Fargis and Hedrick, is preparing for pub- lication eight volumes of the results of work done at the obacrvatory. Fr. Hagen is also engaged upon the third querto vol- ume of his “Synorsis of Higher Matho- matics.” It may not be known that here in Washington our instrument makers have fa- cilities in constructing and mcunting as- tronomical instruments such as enable them to compete with foreign makers. In proof of this, one has but to inspect the instruments at the Georgetown observatory, where all the work of renovating the con- struction of tne photochronograph of the three new latitude instruments, and of the twelve-inch equatorial, has all been execut- ed in this country and in Washington. The class of ‘#5 on Wednesday passed a brilliant public examination in minor logic in the presence of the president and faculty of the School of Arts. A large invoice of casts has been received for Professor Helmick's in-drawing class. Amongst the life-sized are casts of Ger- manicus, antinous, the “Dying Gladiator,” ete. The class is conducted in the old libra- ry in the north building. ‘The Dramatic Sociéty is at work on a play to be presented before the students of art for the benetit of the conference of St. Vin- cent de Paul. Now that all three classes of law have or- ganized and elected permanent officers for the year, they are doing good collateral work in the nature of quizzes and debates. A joint meeting of the classes was held last Saturday night for the purpose of ef- fecting a permanent organization of the de- batting society. No definite action resulted, however, owing to quibbling on parliamen- tary tactics. The meeting was adjourned until Wednesday night last, when adjourn- ment was again made until the return of a large number of the students who had gone home to vote. “Ames’ Cases on Pleading,” a new study added to the post-graduate course, and con- ducted by Professor Perry, is giving satisfac- tion. It is the next best means to actual practice for obtaining a thorough knowledge of that difficult subject. Candidates from law for the university glee, banjo and mandolin clubs will go in a body this evening after lectures to re- rehearsal in the music room at the college. Of the law class of "4 James P.

Archibald Tall- madge of last year's junior class has joined the Jesuit order. Wm. J. Garvey and Patrick H. O'Donnell, class of "#4, ere practicing law in Chicago. A class in Latin has been organized at the School of Law by Raymond Heiskell, LL.M. The object is to train in the rudiments of that language those who are deficient, that they may be able to translate readily the numerous Latin phrases, maxims, etc., found in law books. ‘The total attendance up to date in the School of ‘Law is two hundred and seventy- four, a larger number than that of any period last year. Mr. Justice Brown’s lectures on “Ad- miralty Law” are largely attended. In past years these lectures took place on Saturday nights during the second hour, but the time was found to be inconvenient to a large number of students, hence the change, which, judging from the increased attend- ance, is more satisfactory. Catholic University, Rev. Dr. Lucas of the diocese of Scran- ton, who is preparing to stand the exam- ination for the degree of doctorate of the sity, in June, is visiting the uni- ity for a few days, in connection with coming book. To receive the degree of dociorate at the university the follow- ing conditions are necessary: Candidates will write a work of not less than 100 pages on some scientific co-religious eubject,which inust be approved of in maiter and form by the faculty. Seventy-five theses must be prepared, and, along with the dissertation, sustained publiciy for tree hours on each of two consecutive days. Though Dr. Lu- cas has already received his degree of D. ». at St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore, he desires the highest theological honor conferred by any institution in this coun- ameiy, that of doctor of divinity. janchy, superior of the Marist whose house of studies is at nd, is also preparing to stand for a similar honor at the university at the end of the present scholastic year. They will most probabiy be the first doctors of divinity created by the university. Work has been suspended on the hall of philosophy for a time. It is in such an ad- vanced state of completion that it will be easily finished during the coming spring and summer, preparatory to the formal opening in October, "5, It is designed: to sive higher courses in philosophy, various sciences and letters to lay students, and, as has already been stated, many of the most able professors in this country have been engaged for the several depariments. The last days of October, according to rule, the examinations for degree of bach- elor in theology were held. These exam- inations were both written and oral, and were held for those who entered the uni- versity courses this year and have not takea the degree elsewhere. Rev. Dr. Beaven of Springfield, Mass., made a brief visit at the university during the past_week. a Next Tuesday will be the fifth’ anniver- sary of the opening of the university, the divinity building having opened November 33, 1889. Howard University. A new teacher has been appointed in the preparatory department of the university in the person of C. L. Brumbaugh, a graduate of Harvard, in the class of '@4. Mr. Brum- baugh gives special attention to elocution, and teaches it in all the departments of the university. The place occupied so long and so success- fully by Miss Bowen ts row filled by Miss Torry of Massachusetts. Miss Bowen 1s untversally lamented. The university has never had a teacher superior to her in character or fidelity to duty. Miss Mary E. Prout, who was for nine years in the college settlement, New York city, is the new matron at the university. The Athletic Association is arranging to play several match games of foot ball in the immediate future. One of the achletic parks of the city will be made use of for the games, which promise to be most ex- citing. The number of students matriculated last year was upward of 6, but this year the number {s even larger. The departments are all doing excellent work, and the stu- dents give evidence of earnest and faithful study. Usually arrangements are made by the students for the exercises of Thanks- giving, but this year nominations for par- ticlpants have been made by the deans of the several departments. Senior Campbell of the college department will deliver the cration, which promises to be a brilliant one. The President's Glee Club and the University Choir will furnish the music. On Sunday last, in the University Chapel, a lecture was delivered by Dr. J. D. Davis on “Japan.” Dr. Davis is an eloquent speaker, and his lecture was not only very interesting, but also most instructive. The new and beautiful memorial chapel of Andrew Evarts Rankin is nearing com- pletion. It is situated directly west of the president's house. = ——EE=—=—=_—=_= TD IN LOCAL STUDIOS With the exception of the recent exhible tion given by the pupils of Mr. Lamasure and Mr. Meyer little to attract public in- terest has occurred in art circles. Next ‘Tuesday afternoon will, however, formaily inaugurate the opening of the season. This interesting event takes the form of an “art talk” by Joseph Jefferson, under the auspices of the Art Students’ League. Metzerott Hall has been engaged and ad- mittance is by Invitation alone, the “talk” being given as a courtesy to the league. Mr. Jefferson has spoken on the same sub- ject only twice before, once for the benefit of the actors’ fund and again for the Players’ Club, and the fact that the great actor has signified his intention of making @ special trip to this city for the purpose of assisting one of our art institutions is a great compliment to the young people who - for the past few years have been so in- defatigable in their efforts to establish @ self-supporting school of art. Each year the league has given a course of lectures, the speakers being selected from the lst of famous American painters and sculptors. ‘This year the program is especially at= tractive, including Win." M. Chase, on “‘Mod- ern Ar F. Hopkinson Smith,on the “ ity of the Picturesque;” Wm. Ordway Part- ridge, on “America’s Contribution to the World of Art;” Mrs. Candace Wheeler, on “Decorative and Applied Art,” and a talk by some well-known illustrator, whose name has not yet been made public. The lecture by Mr. Jefferson is not included in the regu- lar course, but holders of course tickets will receive invitations; while others will be distributed among the artists and friends of the league, . oe ee Last Tuesday evening the Sketch Club was entertained by Miss Catherine Critcher at her home in Alexandria. Quite a large Farty of artists and students enjoyed her hospitality, and tested the patience of a self-sacrificing youth who posed in all the glories of the regulation cowboy outilt, A number of clever sketches were made, and every one had an intensely enjoyable time, . Mr. Hovenden spent last Wednesday tn the city, visiting the different artists and studios, His many friends will be sorry to learn that in all probability he will not take up perma~ nent winter quarters here, owing to the dif- ficulty of obtaining a suitable studio, with the facilities for lighting which his work re quires, He is just at present busy with @ canvas which is marvelously realistia study of western emigration. As soon as completed the splendid painting will be sent here and placed on exhibition, During the summer Mr. Hovenden has had serious trouble with his eyes, which, as the artist says, “are always riving out without quite going.” They are better just now, however, and their owner is full of energy and en- thusiasm over work which he has planned out for the coming winter, ef 8 8 A_ meeting of the Society of Washington Artists has been called for next Tuesday evening. At that time the annual election of officers will take place and arrangements be made for the exhibitions, &c., which the society will hold during the winter, At the last meeting; held late in the spring, Mr. Robert Hinckley, Mr. Fisher and Mr.Spencer Nichols were clected to membership. oe Mr. Max Wey! has just completed two ex- quisite canvases, taken from sketches made during the summer. One, “Edge of the Woods,” was secured near Warrenton, Va., and represents a group of storm-beaten oaks, with all the charm of varying light and shadow effects which is so character- istic of this artist's work. The other, which is much lighter and more delicate in color and treatment, was taken on Mr. Crosby 8, Noyes’ farm at Sligo, Md. Mr. Weyl's studio {s filled with other canvases, “large, small and just between” in size, which are rapidly assuming character as pictures, and the exhibition which he expects to give dur- ing the winter is being looked forward to with the greatest interest by artists and lovers of art. es 8 © we Mr. Rickard N.

Mr, Wallace has several other portraits which are keeping him busy just at present, and which give every promise of being highly, satisfactory. oo we Mr. Lamasure’s studios present scenes of almost hopeless confusion these days, Wa- ter colors, great and small, but of almoi unvarying excellence, line the walls, ani crowd to bursting several big portfolios, all of which is the palpable result of numbers less sketching trips which the young artist has indulged in of late. Nearly all of these exquisitely executed studies will be in- cluded in the exhibition which Mr. Lamas sure expects to hold about Christmas ume, Since returning from Europe Mr. F.
