Washington, April 16.-The Washing-
ton authorities, civil and military, are
beginning to take an active interest in
the arrival of Coxey's army. AS the
commonweal approaches, and stories of
detachments from various cities be-
come authenticated, the officers begin to
look for the settlement of the difficult
problem to be solved by the authors
ties. The question is what will be done
with the Coxeyites after they disband.
The district commissioners had pre-
pared today a list of statutes under
which Coxey and his men could be ar
rested and dealt with. There are 45O
men in the local police. But, Of course,
only a fraction of this body would be
available to handle the Coxeyites, and
the probabilities are that 1t would be
to call on the militia for as
sistance. There are 1000 troops, so well
drilled that they could be massed to
order on two hours notice

LIVES WITH A BROKEN NECK.
One of the Most Remarkable Cases on
Record In a New York Hospital

One of the Most Remarkable Cases on
Record In New York Hospital.
OF all the cases of patients suffering
from broken neck that have recently
been recorded in this vicinity tho most
remarkable undoubtedly is one now I'M
der treatment by the surgeons of the
Gouverneur hospital
Several instances Of dislocation of the
bones of the spinal column have come to
light within the last few months. This
Is a case of genuine fracture of the bones
of the neck at the base of the skull, an
injury that has heretofore been generally
regarded as mortal and in which the re-
suits have always borne out the sur
geon's diagnosis. But in this instance
not only is the patient alive, but there is
every indication that he will, after
proper care, recover his physical and
mental faculties and get entirely we'll.
Little Isaac Goerstein, years old, of
4 Allen street is the patient. He was re-
turning from school on Wednesday aft
ernoon about o'clock, and at the cor
ner of Henry and Pike streets was
knocked down and injured by passing
truck. An ambulance was summoned,
and the surgeons diagnosed the case as
cerebral hemorrhage. He was removed
to the hospital, and a more thorough in
vestigation was made by House Surgeon
Jamal.
DR.. Jamal discovered that the neck
was broken just below the base of the
skull, which was slightly fractured, and
that the lobe Of the right ear was split.
He and two assistants began work on
the boy, who was then unconscious, and
made plastic coat which covered the
body from the waist to the top of the
head, leaving oaly the face visible.
The plaster cast makes it impossible
for the boy to move the upper part of bis
body at all, and the respiration is labored
and uneven. When asked in reference
to the case, House Surgeon Jamal said:
"When discovered the neck was bro
ken, expected the boy to- die, as of
course persons with broken necks are
not in the habit of living any great length
of time after the accident. Death is
usually instantaneous, and especially so
with children.

A young married woman, living in
the east end, had a peculiar dream one
evening. She dreamed that she was
down town on Euclid avenue with her
baby and was preparing to board a car
to go home. The step of the new Eu-
cid avenue motor was rather high, and
she requested gentleman to hold her
baby while she boarded the car. He
consented, but before he could return
the infant to the arms of its mother the
car started and left without the child.
The grief of the young woman was in
tense, and SO troubled was her mind
that she awoke. Her relief at finding
it all dream was so great that she de-
cided to buy a book ON dreams and
learn what it all signified.
The next day she called at down
town book store and related her dream
to the clerk, who CHANGED to be an ac-
quaintance. She purchased the book
and turned to the index, where she
found that such dream as she expert
lnced foretold that the dreamer would
receive twice as much as she had lost.
''What would get" she said to the
clerk innocently, that would be twice
as much to me as my baby?"
"Twins," said the clerk laconically,
and she has not spoken to him SINCE.

Couldn't See the Fun.

An infants coffin, addressed to Mrs.
M. Simpkins, Ithaca, N. Y, was the
CHASTITY present shipped from Atlantic
City by q local merchant as joke and
present.
The express company refused to accept
the suspicious looking affair until the
joker explained that it only contained
fruits and wines. Even this statement
did not satisfy the agent, and not until
the contents were exposed would he ac-
cept the package. Then it was receipted
for and forwarded, and the joke became
known about town. The odd part Of it
is that no one who heard of it could see
any fun in such doings.-New York

trumpets were sounded, and the prince
sat beside his bride and rejoiced in her
beauty and her wit.
That evening when he went to his
apartment he was quite shocked, be-
cause for the first time he had forgot
ten to care for his nightingale, and the
poor bird sat dumb and sat upon its
perch with its wings Imply dropping.
But when the prince had laid himself
down upon his couch she sang to him
more beautifully than ever before, and
the prince fell asleep to dream of his
bride. Once he awoke; it seemed to
him that burning drop had fallen up
on his brow, but sleep quickly overcame
him again, and he went on dreaming.
Next day when the court had assem-
bled for more feasting the princess said
to the prince: They say you cherish
precious nightingale. Will you not
even let me once hear its voice?"
And the prince ordered a servant to
bring the birds cage to him. But the
nightingale sat dumb on her perch and
hid her head under her wing. Only
when her master opened the little door
did she fly to him, and perched upon
his hand she lifted up her voice.
The lords and ladies all held their
breath as they listened. They had new
er heard such song before.
They heard the spring zephyrs stir
among the tree tops, the gurgling of the
brooks, and through it all the passion
ately sad song of lover. Poor nightin-
gale!
The young princess went close to her
berrothed and laying her hand upon his
arm said: Beloved, give me the night
ingale. 1t is the first boon have ever
asked of you"
And the prince nodded. "Take her, "
he said; she is yours.
Then the nightingale beat her wings
and raised her voice again. Her song
sounded like the lamentation of suf-
ering heart. Suddenly she ceased and
fiuttered Imply from the princess hand
to the ground.
"Her heart is broken, said some one,
and the courtiers gathered around. But
a dreadful feeling of fear came over
them ALL for there on the floor, instead
of bird, lay the body of beautiful
maiden, whose pale lips were stained
with blood.
The guests scattered like flock Of
doves at sight of hawk. The bride
called her servants to her and rode at
once away. But the old queen in a
blaze of fury ordered that the body of
the enchantress who had bewitched
her son with her satanic arts should be
given to the flames.
The unfortunate girls body was
burned by the executioner, but from the
ashes there grew an elder tree with
fragrant many cupped blossoms. By
that the people knew that the maiden
had been no witch and that her soul
had gone to happiness.
But from that moment all joy had
vanished forever from the princes
heart. From early morn to dusk he sat
beneath the elder tree and unused sadly.
One evening they found him lying be-
meath it quite dead, and in three days
time the tree had also withered. From

GRATING BY WHOLESALE.
Record Breaking Operation Performed b.
Kansas City Surgeon.

a Kansas City Surgeon.
Local surgeons discussed with much
interest Yesterday the account which was
telegraphed from Chicago to The Times
Of the skin grating operation being per-
formed upon Mrs. w. w. Blake at the
Mercy hospital. The dispatch stated that
70 square inches Of cuticle had been
taken from Mr.. Blake's body and sue
cessfully grated upon his wifes arms,
and added that this was the largest
quantity of skin ever sacrificed by one
person for the benefit of another.
The latter statement is possibly cor
rect, but similar operation of much
greater difficulty and magnitude has Just
been performed at the Missouri Pacific
hospital in this city by DR.. George Hamel.
The patient is man named Mccarthy,
who was injured recently in a railway
accident, and DIR. Hamel found it neces-
sary to remove no less than 258 square
inches of skin from various parts of the
mans body and graft it upon his injured
legs. Each piece Of skin was about three
inches long and from one to two inches
wide. The operation has been success
full in every respect, and although Nc
Carthy is still in the hospital he is de-
tanned there by other injuries than to his
legs. The quantity of skin used in this
case is said to be much greater than any
other known to surgical records.
Mccarthy has been visited by many
physicians, and his case has excited much
interest. He will be discharged from tho
hospital within few days.-Kansas City
