Sur- gec of the hospital say Mr. Gale's case i= unique in the history of ur- grey The patient is now a healthy man, except for the rapidly disappearing effects of the operation, and seems in & fair way to enjoy good heaith for the remainder of his days. In spite of the several previous operations, Mr. Gale began to have serious trouble with his stomach several months ago. He “is a prominent Methodist and the church he attends in South Norwalk is one of the supporters of the Seney Hospital, whose incorporated name is the Methodist Bpiscopal Hospital. The Rev. Dr. A. J. Kavanaugh, superinten- dent of the hospital, is an old friend of the Connecticut merchant, and for these reasons the latter went to Brooklyn two weeks ago. No satisfactory diagnosis of his trouble could be obtained by X-rays, and from the exterior symptoms it was decided that cancer was the disease. To arrive at this conclusion Mr. Gale had been alternately starved and overfed for a week to observe the resulting effects. ‘When thé operation was performed saving of the fight | fighters of the Mimt | from an| ot} the men of the Mint| and he himself th one hose.

In it, however, was a great quantity of fruit seeds and other hard objects taken with food. Fur- ther investigation disclosed that the outlet from the stomach was so very small that these objects could not pass through it. The opening was, in fact, totally inadequate for.the passage of enough food to keep the patient in health, and the food clogged up had distended the stomach to twice its usual size. There was only one thing to do, the surgeon believed, and this was to man- | ufacture a new stomach outlet for th= patient. This was done, a portion of the intestine where it was very small was removed, and the intestine was then reattached to a new and suffi- ciently large opening m»e4= in the stomach.

Duration of First Attack Is Re- ported to Have Been Forty-Two Seconds. Velocity of Earth's Crust Was Two Inches Per Second, Breaking Coast Record, First Large Motion of Earth Was Due West as Re- corded. BERKELEY, April 20.—Professor O. A. Leuschner of the astrono:m:ical ob- servatory at the university, in a scien- tific account of the earthquake. shock of last Wednesday, says that the ruin wrought by the quake would have been vastly greater had not the vibrations been distributed over so many seconds of time. He writes that if the shocks of Wednesday had been instantaneous inestimably more havoc would have been wrought. Professor Leuschner, in a bulletin on the earthquake issued. this morning, holds as follows: “The best recorg of the beginnjing of the heaviest shocks is furnished by the standard clock of the students’ obser- vatory, which stopped at 5 hours 12 minutes 38 seconds Pacific standard time, while less severe shocks were re- corded by S. Albrecht some 35 seconds earlier. The principal = part of the earthquake came in two sections, the first series of vibrations lasting for about 40 seconds, The vibrations di-- minished considerably during the fol- lowing 10 seconds and then continued with renewed vigor for about 25 sec- | onds more. The principal direction of motion was from, SSE. to NNW. The remarkable feature of this earthquake, aside from its intensity, was its rotary motion. As seen from the print, the sum total of all displacements repre- sents a very regular ellipse and.some of the lines representing the earth's motion can be traced along the whole circumference. “The result of observations indicates that our heaviest shocks are in the di- rection of SSE. to NNW. In that re- spect the records of the three heaviest earthquakes agree entirély. But they have several other features in com- mon. One of these is that while the | displacements are very large, the vi- bration period is comparatively slow, | amounting to about one second in the | last two big earthquakes. If the re- cent shocks, as felt at Berkeley, had been instantaneous inestimably more havoc would have been wrought with | all kinds of buildings. The slowness of | { the vibration is the only redeeming | feature in these calamities. The fol- lowing account of the earthquake Of! October 21, 1868, as experienced in San | Francisco, is taken from Professor E. S, Holden's ‘Catalogue of Earthquakes, 1769-1897 and will serve to show the features it had in common with that of today: ‘The first shock was at T7h 53%m a. m. Its direction was norther- ly and southerly. Its guration was 42 seconds. The second shock came at 9:23 a.m., lasting 5 seconds. Lighter and briefer tremors occurred at inter- vals of about half an hour till 12:15 p. m. The first shock was most severely felt on the eastern side of the city, on the made land between Montgomery street and the bay. On the solid land no serious damage was done to any well constructed house. The Custom- house was badly damaged. It was poorly constructed. As in 1865, a small crevasse was opened on Howard street, beyond Sixth. The greatest damage was done in a belt several hundred feet wide, running northwest and southeast, commencing at the Custom-house ard | ending at th> Folsom-street wharf. The tall chimney of the United States Mint was damaged. The ferry steamer Con- tra Costa was near Angel Island and felt the shock strongly. Shocks were | noted at 7:53, 8:10, 8:15, 8:45, 9:20, 9:03, 9:35, 10:00, 10:30, 11:05 a. m,, and at 12:15 and 2:58 p. m. Waves came fifteen or twenty feet farther inland than usual. There were about thirty casualties in the 150,000 inhabitants. Five deaths occurred from falling walls, etc. Not a single well-built house c1 the solid land suffered mate- | rially, whether of brick, stone or wood. Wooden houses suffered least.’ “By following the trace of the pen from the beginning, it will be seen that the first large motion of the earth was due west (east on the print, the moufloln of the earth being in the opposite di- rection to that of the pen).

CHICAGO, April 18.—A midair labor union is the latest. The aeronauts of Chicago are to organize, and im addi- tion to the frills of the more lowly in- dustrial combinations they will have a duly credentialed flying delegate. He will act in the same capacity as the walking delegate does for terrestrial unions. But he will be “up in the air” most of the time. There seemed to be a general im- pression last night that few of tae aeronauts would strike during the working hours. However, parachutes may be provided for those who desire to quit work abruptly. Should a strike be called it would be known as a fly- out instead of a walkout. The new union will be chartered un- der the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. The latter organ- ization has cornered everything .on earth in the electrical line and it now proposes to get a firm hold on the heavens. Ray MacElheny, secretary of Local No 134 of the Electrical Workers, Is the organizer of the aeronauts. Robert Witt, who operates a flying machine at a pleasure resort, is to be the flying delegate. In organizing the flyers MacElheny has not visited them while they were at work. It has not been because of the objections of their employers either. He invited them to get down to earth and he would talk to them. He has obtained the names of most of the sixty aeria] artists who are em- ployed in and about the city. The union will be launched at a meeting to be held at 166 Madison street next Wednesday night. 3 “These men occupy ~exalted posi- tions,” said MacElheny yesterday. “As mechanics they soar high over the heads ' of ordinary workers. Their wages, however, do not soar as high as their airships. They ' have = lofty aspirations and they have come to the conclusion that a real labor union will benefit them.” MacElheny ‘said his organization claimed jurisdiction over men who operate dynamos whether on airships or submarine boats. “Our charter reads above, on or under the earth” ne said, “and I do not believe ®ny organ- ization will dispute our right te con- trol aerial navigation.” Some time ago the aeronafits formed a social club, but it was not a success. The members do not cor.e in contact with each Jother while at work. I[n the union each member will be fur- nished with a union flag instead of a card or button. This flag will be raised on the approach of the flying delegate, and thus unpleasant compli- cations will be avoided. 2 The union will be the first of | kind ever organized, and its promoters | believe it will reach the highest suc- cess ever attained by a labor organi- zation. FASHION NOTES. NEW YORK: The sun shone warm and bright on Palm Sunday, so many of the new styles in dresses and hats began to make what might be termed “trial-trips,” in proparation for the great Easter parade down Fifth ave- nue, at which time at the fashionable churches a1l the dressmakers, less than the creators, were there in company with a few others to take notes. Truly, it was the “feast of flowers,” to judge from the hats worn on Easter Sunday in “The Avenue,” costing any- total—over to Grand street, where a 25-cent straw was decorated with a new 10-cent red wreath to celebrate the day. Both creations were marvel- ous, but in different senses. Styles have now taken definite form and dame fashion has set her seal upon certain materials, models and ac- cessories. Voiles, a light-weight can- vass, is a most persistent favorite for worn without a coat; all of which cos- tumes should be made up over a silk lining, which is often of a contrasting color. Another favored material is the checked silks; and an attractive ex- ample of a dress made up in this ma- terial was on exhibition last week. A small self-checked dove grey silk was made up over an old-rose taffeta lin- ing. The skirt was circular in cut with a front panel of triple inverted plaits, on the left side of which was the closing. The waist was of the surplice order, outlined with twq bands of mirror-velvet and ruffles of silk opening over a vest of dream lace un- derlald with pink silk.: The | puffed sleeve was turned back at the elbow with a cuff of velvet and lace. The gloves worn with this costume were long grey glaces; the parasol was covered with the same material as the gown, over pink silk with a big pink chou on the handle; and the hat was a much-twisted plaque of grey crinoline lifted at the left side, showing a long pink plumes. Another material that is again to the front is foulard, especially the variety called radiant foulard, and a more use- ful material for semi-dress occasions has yet to be found. Most of the fou. lards have small, conventional designs. pin dots, shadow spots and numbers of pin stripes are seen. ©0Odd colors are more frequently seen this spring than I can remember hav- gloves, either of silk or glace. A rather is to have under-sleeves or an extra tucked cuff the same material to be inserted for morning wear. Of course, when these cuffs are worn a short one-button glove is used. ‘While speaking of gloves, I must tell of a new idea that was shown me other day in the elbow-length.

Harri- man passed through Chicago on his special train today for San Francisco. He was in the city less than an hour, arriving at 7:30 and leaving over the Northwestern a little earlier than 3:30 He said that all of the Harriman lines and all of the steamship interests which he coatrols will be placed at the service of San Francisco. “I have issued orders,” he said, “that the situation in San Francisco is to be considered above everything else. All the motive power of the Harriman lines, and all of the steamship lines in which I am interested, have been in- structed to do every:hing possible, and with the utmost energy, for the relief of the people of San Francisco. “These orders are that San Fran- cisco is to have precedence at all points over all classes of business. I have ordered the collection and imme- diate dispatch of supplies from Los Angeles, Sacramento, Oakland and otaer points. “All such shipments. that may be | given-to the Harriman lines for trans. portation to San Francisco < will, of course, be handled without charge of ary kind to the shippers. “I am of the confident opinion that San Francisco will rapidly be rebuilt and wil be a greater city in the fu- ture than it has been in the past. “I am going tirough as rapidly as possible on a special train in order to see that my orders are carried out and to aid in their execution as much as I possibly ¢ bv being om the ground myself.” BIG SUM FOR RELIEF WORK. SPECIAL TO THE CALL OMAHA, April 20.—E. H.

SPECIAL TO THE CALL SANTA ROSA, April 20.—A careful survey of the situation shows that Santa Rosa has suffered worse than any.other place, unless it be San Fran- cisco or San Jose. From E to A streets and frem Third to Fifth not a building is standing. Looking over the térritory the view is simply that of a heap of ruins froin which noth- ing has escaped. { | i | glove was in two parts and attachad by tiny fasteners at the wrist, which allowed the hand portion to be removed while that which covered the arm re- mained in piace. 2 An odd and pretty sleeve was noted the other day, which would be thani- fully received by the stout woman too fleshy to bear much fluffiness near her waist line. It was part of a dark blue ecostume trimmed in narrow black sou- tache and crochet buttons. The sleeves were a large puff to the depth of four inches on the top, and below this, and covering the whole of the under-sleeva, portion was a close-fitting, straignt gauntlet sleeve ending at the elbow in a narrow braid band. The waist has | a straight plastron front bordering on each side with brai¢ and buttons, tha closing being made on the left side. The neck is round, with a shallow turned-over collar, bordered with the braid, above which was a lace chem- | isette and standing collar. The skirt | was an extremely plain circular mode. | having an inverted plait back and front ; and the front is outlined with bands of | the braid, and buttons outside of that, | The dress, made of cheviot, linen or | mohair, s especially suited to the office. | The separate waist is again to be | worn; and the shops are showing numbers of beautiful ones for al Isorts of wear; hand-embroidered linens. lace insertions and ribbons, Victoris lawns, India linens, lawns, batiste yxd organdies, which all mav be made very plain or elaborate by | the lack or addition of trimr 'ng.

It is lacking in any | fullness around the hips, as the full- | ness begins only a little way above the knees, and is thus a boon to the full- | hipped woman, and by the way, the | narrow width cloth is the better mate- rial to seek. as it cuts to better ad- vantage. It has a seam at the cen- ter front, which is concealed under plaits, and is closed at the back gore under an applied box-pleat. ‘The new “college blouse™ will be liked for warm summer days. It is mada with two tucks on each side of the stitched to the bust, under the of which there are darts which take up the unnecessary fullmess. The sleeves are of three-quarter length, having pointed or roundcd cuffs and a low, turned-over collar, with rounded or pointed fronts to matca the cuffs. The waist is closed at the front with buttonholes and pearl buttons. A fancy Windsor tie comyletes the waist. I saw a number of these waists made up of different colored linens, stitched in a contrasting color or white. ! |
