"Wounds and Their Best Treatment.
Probably the ' commonest ills that
plea are subject to consigt of wounds
tit1 one sort or another. And there is
hothdng more dangerous than a wound
which is not properly attended to.
Blood. poisoning and, the most horrible
. tt all things, tetanus, both result from
kvounds which in 'many cases wera
deemed unimportant and which could
have been made perfectly safe by early
eimple treatment. . The next three less
ons will deal with wounds and they
Ehoiuld be carefully studied.
Wounds.
Wwnda are injuries of the outer tis
sues in any portion of iftie body, in
(which an opening is made in the skin
itnd more or less of the deeper tissues.
rTbe different varieties of wounds are
tut - or incised, torn or lacerated,
fcruises or contusions, pierced or punc
tured, wounds, including gun-shot and
poisoned wounds.
Causes.
: Wut or -incised wounds are the result
ibf being injured with sharp cutting in
Sttruments, such as knives, razors and
tewoxd-3. The edges of the. wound are
(Clean -, cut, and when brought together
Kit accurately and completely close (the
-tsvound. One of the principal dangers
of such- a wound ie bleeding. -
Torn or lacerated wounds are the
Tesmlt of 'blows with blunt Vnstruments
isuGb as clubs, stones, or where a per
son is Injured "by machinery or the
"bursting of explosives. In such Avounds
swbere the tissues are irregularly torn,

introduced into the wound at the time
of the accident. If such a condition
exists the wound becomes infected or
poisoned and frcm such wounds fre
quently results blood poisoning.
Bruises or contusions are also the
result of blows with blunt instruments,
or of having fallen and struck upon
some hard substance, where the in
jury is not sufficient to produce an
opening in the skin. -Generally, some
of the blood vessels beneath the skin
are broken or ruptured, which allows
the blood to escape beneath the skin.
This produces the well known black
and blue marks.
Pierced or punctured wounds are
produced by daggers bayonets fend
sharp-pointed instruments also bullets
from revolvers and rifles. UsuaUy the
openings in the skin are small, but
the wound itself is quite deep, and
important blood vessels and vital or
gans may be . injured. The danger
from such wounds depends upon
whether large blood vessels 'or some

blood poisoning frequently follow, and

AMUNDSEN'S DEATH
WAS ACCIDENTAL
Coroner Phelan yesterday filed a find
ing in the death by electrocution of
Carl V. Amundsen, Stamford, who
was found to have accidentally touch
ed a live pantagraph of an engine
partly within and partly without the
roundhouse doors at that city on Sep
tember 14. Much evidence was pro
duced tending? to show that while the
power " had been shut off below the
roof, one pantagraph had been left
touching -the wires above.
In an attempt to loosen a hain the
deceased, long acquainted with elec
trical work had climbed to the roof
unbeknown to his fellow workers. He
there came in contact with -the cur
rent. ' Coroner Phelan in his finding
recommends:
"While I am of the opinion there
was no probability of danger to the
deceased in performing his task, in
view of his knowledge -and experience,
I earnestly suggest that until all
pantagraphs be perfectly secured and
the engine and whole be made 'dead'
no workman hereafter be permitted
to make repairs on such electrical en
gines." .

"Have you found Binlts to be a
friend in need?"

GREAT CATHEDRAL READY
FOR A GREAT CONVENTION
The first Cathedral-Close ever built
in the United "States that of . the Ca
thedral of St. . John the Divine, is be
ing rapidly put into shape for the Tri
ennial General Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, which
will be Tield upon ' the Cathedral
grounds New. York city, next month.
Lawns are being leveled debris clear
ed away, and the ground prepared as
well as possible about the cluster of
new ecclesiastical buildings which are
rising upon Morningside Heights ;
These .buildings are the new Synod
Hall, the Deaconess House the Bish
op's House, the Dean's HouEd the
Choir School. Two of them, the Dea
coness House and the phoir School,
are completed. The other three, of
which Ralph Adams Cram is Archi
tect, are nearing completion. It has
been the Architect's' aim to make the
Bishop's House and the Dean's House
beautiful, appropriate for the func
tions which' they must perform, digni
fied, and yet simple to the verge of
austerity. They have ample space and
the rooms are perfectly proportioned
which gives the desired effect of rich
ness without luxury, dignity without
ostentation. ,
The New Synod Hall, which is prac
tically finished, will be ready in time
for the Convention. The main hall
of this building, where the House of
Delegates will meet, is pronounced by
architects, the most beautiful semi
religious meeting hall in the country.
One of its most striking features is
the richly colored ceiling of painted
rafters, above which rises the dark
blue of the peaked roof The intri
cate carving of the west porch, which
is the main entrance is . progressing
rapidly. The cost of the buildings
and fittings, which were donated by
John Pierpont Morgan and William
Bayard Cutting, will be close to $450,
000. The main ball will seat nearly
a thousand persons and the galleries
surrounding it two hundred more. '
"Behind the New Synod Hall, which
is in the southwest corner of the
grounds, rises the completed Deacon
ess House, which overlooks Cathedral
Parkway. A little north of this is the
Bishop's House, built of Germantown
stone. In planning this, the archi
tect had to keep in mind the public
organizations, -foreign Bishops and
prominent- people from all over the
world who must be entertained there.
It is less of a personal residence than
a building for the sake of. the Diocese.
The Bishop's House fronts west, but
there is also an arched way between,
it and the Deanery. The arched way
gives upon a room with a lofty vaulted
ceiling of masonry suggestive of an
ancient guard room. The wide main
hall of the building runs from this to
the western door.- " The grand stair
way, with its beautifully gradual as
cent, refutes the saying that "there
are no stairways in America" and will
be made impressive with cords of pur
ple velvet for hand-rails. On the sec
ond floor is the big. oak paneled din
ing room wij;h its high ceiling, the
kitchen, and the two, la,rge drawing
rooms with their teak wood- floors and
stone mantels, and the library also
furnished in oak. ' ' .. " .
The House contains a half a dozen
guest rooms for dignitaries and many
more for the country clergy who will
always find a welcome at the Bishop's
House. The second floor also con
tains the private hall, leading to the
bed-rooms of . the Bishop and Mrs.
Greer, and a morning room. A pri
vate Chapel for the Bishop, over the
arched entrance at the back has been
planned but. work on it has not yet
begun. The Bishop's study, with a
coved ceiling, which looks truly ec
clesiastical, is on the third floor.
The Bishop's House is a house of
wide spaces, ample cloak rooms, and
austere beauty, but the Deanery, just
back of it to th" East is a smaller res
idence in which every detail has been
made as perfect as possible. All the
floors in th& servant's quarters are of
corked tile, and white vitrified tile
runs clear to the ceiling It is fur
nished throughout in oak, the hall
way, the reception rooms, and the li
brary, being very simple but digni
fied and beautiful. The Deanery is
being built as a memorial to the late

Mr. Taft has sat down to breakfast
made up of such illusory trifles .as one
egg, a slice of toast and a cup of un
sugared coffee.
These two buildings will not be finish
ed in time for the Convention.
The Choir School, which will be
joined to the Dean's House by an
arched gateway, thus completing the
close, has accommodations for sixty
boys. The Choir School is just mov
ing in, and soon its class rooms, re
fectory, dormitories, shower-baths
and sitting rooms will become popu
lous with sweet voiced youngsters. The
building is on Morningside Drive and
overlooks a great portion of the north
ern part of .the city. This will prob
ably be the vmost perfect Choir School
in the world. It is given by Mrs. J.
J. Blodgett in -memory of her father,
the late John H. Sherwood, to whom
a tablet has been placed in the large
vestibule.
RAISES BUSHEL.
OF SEEDLESS APPLE3S.
Wlllimantic, Sept. 23 Ax tree on the
farm of J. A. Dorranee in -Scotland,
which has had large crops of Porter
apples, yielded this year about bush
e of fine seedless apples. The flavor
of the apple is retained -in the seedless
variety, but the flesh of the apple is
much more solid than in the apples
with seeds and white the. apples with
seeds are about all gone, those with
out seeds are in fine shape now. Mr.
Dorranee is keeping some with the in
tention of seeing Jiow long they will
last. As a whole, they are much
better than those with seeds.
How these apples came to grow
without seeds is a mystery to Mr. Dor
ranee and his discovery of the seedless
ones was purely accidental. Mr.' Dor
ranee said today that he had read
that the great 'Burbank was trying
to produce a seedless apple.
The colleges are now opening, and
in spite of the interest in athletics,
many of them continue to offer
courses in literary subjects

SENSATIONAL BIGYLISTS
HEAD BILL AT POLI'S
With the Kaufman Troupe of whirl
wind bicycle riders and the live wire
team of Morrissey and Haekett, the
bill at the New Poli's this week makes
a fair bid to outdo any other per
formance offered at this theatre since
the opening of the season. - ,
The Kaufman troupe, four women
and two men, are considered the best
of their kind upon the variety stage.
In ensemble " numbers displaying
many odd and novel formations they
win wonderful applause. Especially
clever is the youthful Mr. Kaufman
who can almost make his wheel talk.
This young man finds that perform
ing semingly impossible stunts upon a
bicycle is the simplest possible thing.
i Perhaps the brightest duo - to ap
pear here in talk and song this sea
son is the team of Morrissey and
Haekett. Miss Haekett has that win
ning way which gets her there before
she even starts to say anything. Their
line of talk about their travels around
the world is rather clever. The two
sing well, too.
Arthur Whitelaw pulls many inter
esting. quibs about his doings and has
a good fund of puns. Hvs 'rendition
of the "Top o the Morning,
pathetic Irish recitation, won him in
stant favor. .
The Beed Sisters, acrobatic danc
ers, are known all over the country
as a classy act. They dance all the
ballet steps and esthetic figures until
at the end they merge into the eccen
tric and finish with comedy dancing-
Hall and Menzies are an English
couple Who arrived in America only
las week. They work their way into
favor by making sometning new out
of the overworked stage Suflragette.
With their English dtawl, they pulled
through in clever order.
If Aaron and Freeman would in
fuse a little more dancing and less
chatter into their act tbey would have
gone better with the first nighters.
The boys can step well but their jokes
can be very much improved upon
With the suggestion, they might get
away with it.
The bill was completed with a fea
ture photo play, "The Lost Million
aire.'
PLAZA THRONGED WITH
PLEASEllFIRST NIGHTERS
One glorious success from the
overture to the exit march charac
terizes the bill at the Plaza for the
first three days of this week. The
theatre was crowded to capacity last
evening with enthusiastic auditors
who fairly went into ecstaciea over
every turn on the well balanced pro
gram. '
The big number was the Porto Rico
Girls, a stellar aggregation of expert
dancers and fine singers and it made
a big impression on the first night
audience. Their songs are tuneful
and catchy and their dancing num
bers are par excellence.-' Eight pretty
darky" girls with Davis & Saulsbury,
the well known pair, all handsomely
attired in costumes that were in keep
ing with the nature of the act, vouch
es well for a big week. .
Harry Rose simply kept the bouse
In roars of laughter. His entrance
was enough co prepare ane for the
series of laughs that were sure to fol
low. He possesses a silvery voice of
very high range and gave imitations
of famous singers. He was forced to
respond to several encores. His many
screamingly funny characterizationsj
of the effeminate type of man and
his never-ceasing patter were respon
sible for roars of laughter.
Estelle Churchill has a very pleas
ing diversion in which she scored
heavily last evening. Miss Churchill
s an exquisite piano player and has a
very pleasing voice. All her numbers
were highly appreciated especially her
closing number, consisting of the
playing of various sorts of drums in
a truly commendable fashion. The
manner In which she handles a. snare
drum was the source of no little won
derment. One of the cleverest and
funniest acrobatic acts ever seen here
aws that presented by Lockhart and
Leddy, "A Brave Attempt at Suicide."
The Turners in a novelty roller skat
ing act that went big complete the
vaudeville program.
The photoplays shown included
"Grist to the Mills," a very interesting
love drama containing numerous
thrilling and appealing scenes, "Keep
ing Husbands Home" and "The Des
perate Condition of Mr. Boggs."
PARK THEATRE '
THE HAPPY WIDOWS."
If plenty of genuine fun, pretty and
vivacious women, clever ensembles,
adroit comedians, jingling and tuneful
music, high class vaudeville special
ties, unique novelties and incompara
ble features are appreciated by exact
ing lovers of up to date amusement
then the noted "Happy Widows" Com
pany, which is to be the attraction
at the Park theatre for three days
week commencing with Thursday mat
inee should have a most profitable en
gagement. This year the vehicle used
by the organization is a musical com
edy in two acts entitled, "A Marriage
of Convenience." - It is a sort of
travesty on the recent uprising in Mex
ico and is replete with witty dialogue,
smart sayings and- unctious fun. Th
leading roles 'are in the hands of Jos.
K. , Watson and Will H. Cohan, who
have been brought together again af
ter an absence of yearjg, for this par
ticular production.
Women and children are particularly
interested in George Kleine's mam
moth photo-drama production "Quo
Vadis," which is to be the important
attraction at the Park theatre for
three days, commencing next Monday
matinee with daily matinees thereaf
ter. "The women revel in the beauti
ful love story that is unfolded tin the
charming Sienkiewicz romance while
the children appreciate Its vast aid to
their study of Roman history and take
particular delight in the big spectacu
lar features the burning of Rome-
the chariot races combats of the
gladiators and thrilling experience of
the Christiana when thrown to the
hungry lions in the arena--and the
grown-up children, the men, seem to
eirjoy it as much as their wives and
offspring. It has a wonderrut -appeal
to aJl society and is doing a remarka
ble business.

Hinton, W. Va., Sept. 23. Gowned in
a dress of vthe latest daring mode, with
the slit extending down the back in
stead of the front or side. Miss Nannie
Wheeler gave this staid old town a
lively time yesterday. She attracted
a crowd which took possession or tne
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway station,
obstructed the raile and for fifteen
minutes held the train which arrives
here a few minutes after 12 o'clock,
refusing to give ground when the en

Henry Watkins, a prominent . mer

working his way from the crowd in
which he had been -caught, said:
"Well we've had skirte- down here

but that's the first one I've ever seen
with a 'calf -backstop.' "
The most striking thing about Miss

she trinped along Main street. Miss
Wheeler finally escaped the crowd by
