RESTORING A GIRLS SIGHT.
TRASspLANrIYa A PORTION OF RABBITS EYE



Philadelphia, April 29.-One Of the most delicate
surgical operations was performed in this city to-day,
IL being nothing less than transportation of por-
on of the eye of rabbit 10 the eye of human being
The object the operation to relieve the Obscury
of the eye of patient, which was caused by inham-
nation and which produced in time an Opaque sur
face The patient a servant girl whose eyes had
become almost useless by Of the whitish coat
ing She was so nearly blind that objects of consid
erable size were barely distingushablc at the small
distance of fvo feet.
The operation took place at the Germantown Hos
pital under the immediate direction of Dr.. L. Web
ster Fox, tho ophthamic surgeon Of the institution
who witnessed one of the only two other operations
Of this nature which have been performed in the
wo d. In Germany last year, it being performed by
Professor Won Nipple, Of Giesscn, Germany
Professor Won Hipple devised and had manufact-
ured very delicate instrument, which, by means OF
clock-work attachment not only bores into the cor
of the eye, but also registers the exact depth oil
the puncture. In this way minute portion Of the
cornea is cut from the eye OF rabbit and piece
corresponding in size is taken from the afflicted eye
of the patient, both being taken from point directly
in front of the pupil of the orbit
Both the rabbit and the patient arc first placed
under the influence OF the local anaestheiie Cocaine
The rabbits eye selected by reason Of similarity
to the human eye because it is dstinctiycly herba
ccous animal the blood of which Is less liable 10 con
taninating influences than other animals whose fO0d
is composed principally Of animal matter
The operation of to-day while delicate IN its nature
was not difficult one, and, while It Will require
from ten to fifteen days to develop the result cX
peced OF II, there has not been doubt Of its success
in the minds OF the most expert ophthalmc surgeons
of the United States. The operation leaving out all
technical language in the description, Is simply the
engrafting of piece Of the cornea Of the eye OF
human subject and IL Is the first operation OF the
Kind over performed in America and the third evel
occurring In the world, the success of IL has been a
matter Of intense interest among the prom oph
thamo ogists Of tho country, and both OF the two
previous cases Of this kind have been succesiul be
there is but little idea Of failure In to-days opera
ton
Dr. Fox, who performed the operation to-day, has
devoted years Of study and travel in his efforts to
store sight to the unfOrtunatcs who have been de-
prived either through disease accident Of nature 5
kindest gift His success in to-days effort IN this
direction will mark very important part In ophihal-

GREGORY AND TIE PINE TIMBER SCANDAL
THE CHIPPEWA INV sTIGATIoN NOT LIKELY TO BE
ARANDONFD

WASHINGTON, April 20 Special. 1t is understood
that the Administration hopes that the enforced
resignation Of Indian Agent Gregory, of Wisconsin,
on account Of irregularities exposed by the Senate
special committee, of which William f. Chandler
Is Chairman, viii cause the abandonment OF the
CO,pp.w,t Investigation Well informed persons
do not believe LnaJ such VIII DC Lne case. Inc

otnc4s his behalf 1uIly suDstantlaIes the charSe
that the reserNations under Gregorys control are
being IapId4y stripped OF the plnc TIMBER ana that
the Indians being robDed right ana left:
Persons familiar WITH the RESERVATIONS declare
that alter the TIMBER lS taken OH thc landS Will

poses, and that, as soon US the meagre proceeds
realized by the Indians are dlsspated, the INDIANS
themselves viii become paupers ana require aiu
from the Government 10 keep them from staf'a-
ton.
1t is stated by persons who have watched the
invoStIs cation closely that facts have been DIS
closed which Will show That the 'cretary OF the
Interior, If not the President self, has been
madL the unconscious Instrument OF tie greedy
contractors who are stripping the indian landS OF
their valuable timber. 1t appears that after the
+ enactment Of the Sc crafty law, the department.
OF Justice, upon an application FOR an lnterpreta-
tiOn Of that act, held that thereafter no lands
should he all ,;cd 10 the Chppewas under the
treaty OF 1904, but that all should bc allotted

pears that 10 SPECIAL agent TO assist the regular
agent in the allotment of lands under the Severalty
act was appointed TO the Chippewa Reservations
until some months aftePward. The appointment
was made in December too late for any allotments
TO be made by him.
Despite this fact however, some seventy allot-
ments were reported by Agent Gregory under
the ScVeralty act, which were confirmed in Wash
