Noble Surgeon Saves Woman Despite Fatal Charge
A London hospital recalls a visiting surgeon who halted a cancer operation to save a patient. With a wounded forefinger, he restrained a severed artery until ligatured, prolonging the woman's life by months but contracting the doctor’s fatal illness. The act, ten years past, is told by a hospital clerk and cited by the Pittsburg Dispatch.

Rich passenger mystery on a Buffalo train tale
A late night rumor spread of a passenger worth 20 million dollars boarding near Buffalo. The porter confirmed the tale only next morning after a prankish conductor paid a 10 cent tip, revealing the man’s vast wealth and the odds of inheritance stories. The item humorously contrasts philanthropy with bold fortunes and cites editorials on endowing young men with 1000 dollars.
