An Actress whose Proboscis Was Toe
Large Had 1t Shaved Down.
Miss Crystal Thornton, an actress,
submitted to peculiar surgical opera
tion ut Roosevelt hospital Nov. 90.
Miss Thornton, whose home is in Cali
fornia, is a handsome young woman,
but in her opinion her appearance suf-
fered through what she thought was q
deforined nose, but which others re-
garded as nothing more than a pro-
nounced Roman nose. She determined,
however, to have the nose reduced to a
normal size and consulted DIR. Charles
McBumey with the view of having him
perform the operation.
The surgeon. it is said, advised her
that IL the operation was performed q
scar might remain, which would per-
haps be more Objectionable to her than
her prominent nose. Miss Thornton
declared that she preferred the scar to
having so much nose and renewed her
request that the operation be perform
ed. The patient was placed under the
influence of ether, incisions were made,
the skin laid away ON either side and
part of the bone removed.
The wound was treated with anti
septics, the skin replaced, and in due
time the patient went home. She Wis
ited the hospital again two days later,
when the wound was found to be heal
ing nicely. Miss Thornton has since
that time remained at home, and un-
less some unforeseen accident occurs
will in time make her appearance in
public with symmetrical nose, in har-
mony with the rest of her features.-

A GIRLS GRATITUDE.
Her Devotion 20 n Mother In Prison II
Rewarded st Last.

Her Devotion TO Mother In Prison 10
Rewarded at Last.
A bright eyed. rosy checked young
lady was waiting for Governor Mat
thews when he reached tho executive
Office the other morning, and rs he en-
tered she extended her hand. The
governor recognized her MS the daugh-
ter Of Mrs. Martin Of Dubois county
who was pardoned out of the female
reformatory the day before, and in an
swer to her excited inquiry II It was
true that he had pardoned her mother
he replied, YES, and you may take
the pardon and deliver IL to her."
The announcement was followed by
visible emotion, and IL was some mo-
ments before the daughter could con-
troll her feelings sufficiently to thank
him, but looking rather than speaking
her gratitude she took the pardon, and
few moments later her mother was re-
leased after eight years confinement.
THAT Is one Of the most peculiar
cases that ever met, said the govern
or as his visitor left the room. MRS.
Martin was convicted and sentenced for
life for infanticide. She had been de-
serted by her friends and had three
small children depending upon her for
support. These she supported by bend
ing over the washtub, and when q
fourth child was born dead she was ar
rested and charged with its murder.
There was, in fact, no evidence to sup
port the charge except what could be
explained away or accounted for by
natural causes, but she was given life
sentence.
Several years ago her daughter came
here and secured work as domestic In
order to be near the mother, and she has
called to see me several times in the
effort to secure the pardon. Il was she
who left moment ago, and am more
than gratified over an act which be-
lieve is one of justice to the mother and
which rewards the devotion of the
daughter. indianapolis Cor. Cincin-

Trained Nurses,

The fashionable impetus which it was
expected the patronage of the Princess
of Wales would give to the occupation
of trained nursing in England has hard
ly been realized. 1t will undoubtedly
receive stimulant in the plan, of
which word now comes from there, to
have nursing lectures at fashionable
houses to instruct the aristocratic pupils
in the rudiments at least of caring for
the sick. These afternoons" are to
be illustrated with genuine hospital
implements, including patient, and,
with tea and biscuits handed round,
will take on MS we'll an agreeable social
tone.
A story heard recently accentuates
the need of all this. 1t was related of
an English peeress, who, wishing to
master the duties of trained nurse,
procured admission to hospital for
such instruction. She proved an utterly
hopeless pupil, and at length it was
deemed advisable to ask her to resign.
Her martial tread through the wards
and general "heaviness" in all that
she did actually made her presence a
detriment, which would seem to indicate
that even aristocratic nurses are born,
not made.-New York Times.

the German people, from their gallant
young emperor down, we have received
a generous and hospitable welcome.
The emperor, both in word and act, has

the creation of the magnificent exhibits

DEATH OF EllSHABA.

Professor Garner Incons solable Over the De-
mise ofthe Most Intelligent impanzee.
Professor Garner, who is to sail for
America in few days, is quite dis
consulate over the death of Elishaba,
the most intelligent chimpanzee ever
found. Gamer made the acquaintance
of Elishaba and her husband, Aaron, IN
Africa and induced them to come north
with him. The death of the poor crea-
ture in Liverpool ON Thursday was
quite pathetic. She died in the arms
of poor Aaron, who had been assiduous
in his attentions during her whole ill
ness.
Professor Garner was present during
her last moments, and when he put
his hand to her heart to see If it had
ceased to beat Aaron put his hand there,
too, looking in the professors eyes and
inquiring il that was all he could do.
Aaron would not permit his dead COM
panion to be taken from him. The sad
ness in Aaron's countenance could not
have been more clearly portrayed on the
face of human being. His grief was
inconsolable. When the professor Wis.,
tied his 2rotege yesterday, Aaron was
not content until he had put his hand
in that of the professor and by signs
and sounds was telling him his distress.

his clothing during the football gam

ONE OF THE BOYS.
How n Texas Postmaster Raised the Wind
to Bave q Good Time.

to Have Good Time.
Schemes for robbing the government
are plentiful, but one of the most unique
perhaps that has been put into opera
ton for some time has just come to
light down in Texas.
Uncle Sam did not pay one of his
fourth class postmasters In II little viii
lage in the Lone Star State sufficient
money to pay his bills and have sur
plus with which to go out with the boys
at night. A friend of the genial post
master was in the same financial pre-
dicament, so they decided to make the
government furnish enough coin with
which life could be made worth living.
They couldn't t tap the tills of the office,
because the receipts were too low, nei-
ther could they steal stamps, because
they were allowed too few. 1t was final
ly decided that the money order system
get funds, and accordingly the postmas-
ter issued 81 orders for 800 each to his
friend, payable at Deighboring office.
The friend had them cashed, and for
few weeks both lived high.
Now the question arose how to cover
their tracks. The wits of the two GRIM
inals were put to work, and it was set
tied that they should buy the star route
in that section, subsidize the mail mes
senger and have "hold up" after
which the postmaster would be able to
say that the money in payment of the
orders was taken from the mailbag.
The programme was carried out. The
messenger was held up and came to
town telling Of his loss, and the post
master swore that he had placed the
money for the payment of the orders in
the mailbag.
The postofiice department became sus-
picious and sent special agent down
there, which resulted in the capture Of
the postmaster and his accomplice. The
messenger was also locked up.-Wash-

When q Chinese Bank Fails.

Bank notes were issued in China as
early as the ninth century, when the art
of printing was unknown in Europe.
These notes have generally been redeem
ed, because in China, when bank fails,
all the clerks and managers have their
heads chopped off and thrown in heap
along with the books of the firm. And
so it has happened in those good old bar
barous times that for the past 500 years
not single Chinese bank has suspend
ed payment.
Now that China is coming under the
lway of western civilization, we have
no doubt it will have the same financial
troubles as its more civilized banking
brethren. n.-Chambers Journal.

ANTARCTIC EXPLORATION.

Expedition THINKS ABOUT ft
An attempt is being made under the
auspices of the Royal Geographical 80
ciety to renew interest in antarctic ex-
ploration. An important paper on the
subject was presented to the society
this week by DR.. John Murray of the
Challenger expedition. He argued that
the continent at the south pole COM
prised 1000, 600 square miles and that
great practical benefits in the depart
ments of biology, geology and physics
would be gained by its exploration. He
did not advocate dash for the pole
but demanded rather steady. syste-
matte exploration of the whole southern
region with all the appliances of mod
ern Investigators. The exploration
should be undertaken by the royal navy.
Two ships, not exceeding loco tons
burden each, should be fitted out for
three summers and two winters.
Early in the first season wintering
party of 10 men should be landed some
where south of Cape Horn, probably
about Bismarck strait, at Graham
Land. The expedition should proceed
to Victoria Land, where a second party
should winter, probably at Mac Murdo
bay, near Mount Erebus. The ships
should not be frozen in, but should re-
turn north, conducting observations Of
various kinds toward the outer margins
Of the ice. The position of the ice and
the temperature of the ocean should be
observed.
Early in the spring the wintering
parties should be communicated with
and re-enforced for another winter.
during the second winter deep sea OBJ
,servations should be continued to the
north. In the third season the winter
ing parties should be picked up and the
expedition return TO England. London
