A CHICKENS BREAsT-BONE FOR A NOSE.
No, n and Successful Operation Performed on
o Noseless Brooklyn Woman.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Oct. 80.-An unusual
operation was performed on a woman in
the Long Island College Hospital
few days ago. Mrs. Eva Hoffman sub
mitted to the experiment of having por-
tion of the breast-bone of q chicken sewed
to that part of her face where nose should
have been. For many years past she has
suffered from the Disagreement of the loss
of her nose. cavity, almost near the
center of the face. marked the spot where
her nose once was. Mrs. Hoffman consulted
the most renowned specialists of New
York city and Brooklyn. She expressed a
M asSss to onsrnn saons to the the msss pan
of her nose could be accomplished. Lately
DR.. Teetamore, of Brooklyn. has treated
her. When she first consulted him he ad-
vised the use of rubber nose until her
tion similar to the one that was tried on
young man in this city some years ago.. In
that case the nose was restored by flesh
from both cheeks and the bone supplied
from the joints of one of the fingers. Ulti-
matelv nose was formed, but it has little
operation In itself was q success, though,
and If tried over again would probably
have resulted more satisfactorily. On
Monday, in the presence of q number of

nose and divided it lengthwise. He next
removed the breast bone from live chick
en-, leaving on the bono the tender cartilag-
inous hlanlent and periOsteum. This was
sewed to the flesh Of Mrs. Hoffmans face.
and over the chicken bone he drew q por-
ton of the periosteum gently cut from her
own forehead. II have no doubt that there
will be some results from this experiment
that will prove of material benefit to the
scientific world" said DR.. Teetamore.

DESTITUTlON In DAKOTA.
Over One Hundred Thousand People Said to
Be in Need, Owing to Failure Of Crops.

ST. PAUL, Oct. 30.-Reports of destitution
in North Dakota show that the distress is
more widespread than is generally known.
Yesterday it was estimated that fully 20
600 people were bordering on the last stage
of destitution. Mr.. Marvin, chairman of
the relief committee, feels convinced, from
information received, that it was nearer
10000 families. representing total of up
ward of 100000 people. Such widespread
distress. and the magnitude of the problem
which confronts the twin cities, is appall-
ing. How to meet the needs of such host
is question beyond the power of any local
committee to cope with. So far the contrl-
buttons received are inadequate to the me-
cessities of the case. A few bundles of
old clothing and small cash sub
scriptions have been sent in, and COM
mittee is making the most strenuous efforts
to obtain and forward all possible aid for
the sufferers sui % as promptly as possible; In
there Is very bad. it is not to be compared
either in magnitude or intensity to that in
the northern State. Probably one thou
sand families are destitute. but they can be
nearly all taken care of by the towns sur
rounding the district.

arrived in the city, to-day, and gave an
account of the situation. There is no ques-
tion that large number OF people, especial
ly in Faulk and Miner counties. are in .
condition of partial destitution. That Is Il:
say they have experienced a failure of crops
for three consecutive years, and last year
the loss was absolute. They have no means
wherewith to purchase either food or fuel.
as their farms, as a rule, are mortgaged to
such an extent that they cannot raise any
more money. In Miner county there are
eight thousand people, and one-third of
them will need help. They have neither
food nor fuel. In Huron the people have
organized as thoroughly as possible to fur
nish relief The ladies have formed Dorcas
societies and are supplying clothing.

A YOUNG YANKEES EXPERIMENT.
lie Lacked Basket Cor His Balloon, and Used
Playmate for the Purpose.

STAFFORD's SPRINGS. Conn.,, Oct S0.-A
boy named Purgy recently attended fair
here, where he saw a hot-air balloon, as
cension. He went home determined to try
the experiment himself. With the aid of
wool-sacks he made balloon, and lined it
with paper, gathering it together at the
bottom with strings. With the aid of o
stove-pipe and little underground fur
mace it was soon filled with hot air and
ready for trip. but it lacked basket.
Young Purgy had invited little George
Fisher to be present at the ascension. and
when the time came for the bag to be Off,
the youthful aeronaut told George that he
was down on the bills to be the basket; he
must be tied to the balloon and go up with
1t to keep it steady. The youngster remon-
strated feebly against soaring but the con-
dition of the air-bag indicated that no
time was to be lost, and the boy hitched
George to the balloon in q jiffy, and the
ascension began at once.
The balloon shot away like rocket, and
up above the hOuse-tOps 1t scared, while
the village of Stafford Springs gazed heav-
onward and wondered, as it beheld big.

What the soaring bag was, whittier 1t was

tors was cool enough to conjecture. But
fear for the safety Of little George soon
gave place in the breasts of the witnesses to
feeling of relief as they saw the domestic

softly drop the urchin on the steps of the

CRAZED BY CIGARETTES.
A Young Man in New York Driven Insane by
Excessive Smoking.

NEW YORK, Oct. S0.-John Barry, tho
twenty-ive-year-o son of policeman
Barry, of the Leonard-street station, is the
latest victim of cigarette smoking. He is
now confined in the insane ward of Belle
vue Hospital, and his family say that cigar
cites are the cause of his trouble.
Last Friday Mrs. Barry noticed that John
was acting rather queerly and asked him
what was the matter. "Hush," he SAID,
GOD is speaking to me and must not be
disturbed" In short time he commenced
to grow violent and it became necessary to
remove him to the station-house and from
there he was taken to Bellevue Hospital.
Barry had always been quite delicate, but
10 was never thought that he was in any
danger of losing his mind. He commenced
smoking cigarettes when quite young. At
first it was only two or three day. and he
appetite for them increased and he con-
sumed q pack of them every day. He was
reconstructed with. but in reply only
laughed, saying that they had never
harmed any one.
From one pack it grew to be two and then
three. and for the first time Barry began to
feel the i'll effects. His mind became
clouded; several times he forgot where he
lived and had to be taken care of by
strangers. His work grew obnoxious to
him and he left it, giving no other reason
than that he could not bear the smell of
tar. Then he tried to curb his appetite.
but it was too late. 1t had completely
mastered him. and six packs were smoked
every day. Then his mind seemed to grad
ually become weaker. 1t was not until the
past week, however. that he exhibited any
violent signs.
DR.. Douglass, who has charge of the in
sane ward at Bellevue Hospital. said this
morning that the deadly cigarettes had
done their share in reducing bright young
man to mental wreck. Young Barry's
mind Is totally gone and an effort will be
made to have him placed in somo asylum.
