COVERING EAlD HEADS,
The Rich Can Have ssaIskin and the
Poor Can Have Woodchrck.

DR. John Eye, Readings slin-graft-
ing specialist, who year ago or more
gained considerable notoriety by sue.
cessfully transplanting skin from the
forearm of a colored man TO the leg of a
white man, and who subsequently
manufactured dime museum freak by
planting a flowing mustache upon the
upper lip of handsome young woman,
is continuing his experiments In that
direction, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord
The doctors latest achievement. per
formed few days ago with every evil
dence of success, is that of supplying a
bald headed man with a covering of
hair that football player might envy.
The patient upon whom this operation
was performed is Charles Mueller, of
Washington, ID c., and the subject
from whom the material was drawn to
cover the bare spots on the patients
head was MIR. 'Gertiesu.
DIR Eye removed from the head of
Gertiesu a piece of scalp one and a
quarter inches wide by two and a half
inches long. well covered with hair.
and replanted it upon the head of
Mueller This operation took place
Saturday last, and there is every evil
dence Of the transplanted piece Of
scalp with hair attachment growing
The soreness created by the removal
of portion of Gertiesu's scalp Is almost
healed the doctor having so skillfully
drawn the lacerated scalp together as
to almost remove all evidence of its re-
moval, with the exception of two small
spaces. which he purposely left open
with the view of further experiments.
He will cover those spots with hair
covered skin taken from some animal.
and upon the successful attachment of
that transplanted animal skin upon the
head of Gertiesu depends the fate of the
future baldsbeaded men II the doctor

WONDERFUL COIN COLLECTION.
One Of the eoirs Ia the Philadelphia
Mint Is Worth 22eO.

One Of the Coils In the Philadelphia
Mint Is Worth 2eeO.
The Philadelphia mint has a very
wonderful collection Of coins. says the
Washington Star Among other curl
osities it includes what is believed to be
the oldest piece Of metal money ever
made. which was minted in Egins
about 700 B c. The design Is in high
relief, representing tortoise crawling
across the face of the coin. II has no
date. Date on coins were unknown up
to four hundred years ago. The very
early coins bore designs only on one
face. Of all coins that have ever ex-
listed the smallest in value was the
mite" such as the widow in the Bible
dropped through the slot in the poor
box. The most valuable coin in the
collection described is a Chinese piece
worth two hundred and twenty dollars
1t is simply a rectangular chunk of gold
stamped with Chinese characters.
Jumps of gold are commonly used in
China for currency of large denominar
tons. A coin minted in Egypt bears
the head of Queen Arsinoe. who was Cleo
patra's great-great-great-gr
grandmother Queerest of all the coins
arc those from Siam-irregular round
fish Jumps of silver. from the bigness of
O walnut to that of half a buckshot.
Modern coins, though the mechanical
processes for producing them have been
so greatly improved, are far inferior
ertistically to those of ancient times.
In Babylon of old, which fell before
coming was invented, gold and silver
were weighed out with scales for use as
money The earliest form of money is
still use to-day in southern Asia, the
islands of the Pacific ocean, and parts
of Africa, where cowrie shells are the
favorite negotiable medium They are
usually quoted at about one hundred
for two cents. Most of them are OBJ
tainsd from the Maldive and Laccadive

The Funeral of Ephriam Nah.

Ephraim Nash. one of the interesting
figures of this city, was carried to his grave
yesterday afternoon. The funeral was at
tended by hundreds of the poor colored
people, to whom especially for years his
sympathies had gone forth. His record con-
sists in deeds of kindness and devotion to
the poor, the neglected, the outcast. Three
years ago he gave the valuable property at
the corner of North Capitol and Pierce
streets to the Womans Home Missionary
Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church
as a memorial institution. to be known as
the Lucy Webb Hayes Bible and Train
ing School and Deaconess Home" This
large and commodious house was at that
time his home He moved into a much
smaller place. He was always most self
denying. AS was most BETTING, his fun
eral services were held in the institution.
A large number of clergymen were present.
Among those who participated were
Rev. Doctors Naylor and Todd. Rev
Messrs Brooks and Gaines. and DR.. Cook.
The services were conducted by DR.. I. N
Daily, superintendent of the institution
Mr. Nash leaves four sons, prominent bust
ness men in this city, and two daughters

THE LETTER FENCE
IL Just Three Feet Higher Than the
Law Allows.

Law Allows.
Building Inspector Entwisle has added
another chapter to the contention over the
Letter fence. 1t will be recalled that sew
eral protests have recently been filed with
the Commissioners against this fence, which,
1t is claimed. was illegal. Commander
Dickens Of the United States navy, who
owns the adjoining property. was the last
to protest. He claims that the fence was
not only in excess Of that allowed by law
as to height, but was built on the build
ing line. thereby destroying his easement
to the right of a party wall.
The building inspector yesterday decided
to take action, and accordingly ordered
Mr.. Letter to reduce the height Of his
fence to seven feet, the limit allowed by
law.
In discussing the matter with a reporter
OF The Star this morning Mr. Entwisle said
he was aware that the building of The fence
on the building line was a hardship
to the adjoining owner, but he could do
nothing in the matter. His authority was
covered by the regulation, and no provision
had been made for case Of this kind. He
had ordered the fence lowered and would
insist upon 1t. At present 1t was about
ten feet high. 1t would have to be reduced
to seven feet.

DIR. Icons DISPENSE.
His Counsel, Col. Cook, Reviews the
Evidence.

Evidence.
This morning the trial Of Dr. Edward
Leon, on the charge of murder of the in
FAINT Of Miss Estelle E. Beach, on the 31st
Of October last, as the result of an abor-
ton. alleged to have been performed on the
young woman two days previously. was re-
sumed in the Criminal Court, Division 2,
Justice Cole. Mr.. Cook proposed to read
authorities as to whether Estelle Beach
was an accomplish
Justice Cole said he would submit to the
jury whether her testimony was corrobo-
rated. After some discussion the justice
read the instructions he would give to the
jury, to the effect that II they find Estelle
Beach requested and consented to the ope-
ration she was an accomplish, and her tes-
timony should be subjected to close scru-
tiny, and as a general rule 1t would be un-
safe to rely on such testimony. If they
find that she has been corroborated by
other witnesses and facts. such corrobora-
ton removes the objection. He proceeded
to pass upon the other prayers and read an
additional instruction as to the definition Of
the offense.
Col. Cooks Argument.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Col. Cook COM
menced his argument, saying there were
charged that 1t could be, for example, done
by the woman herself. The time when the
deed was done was fixed at 1:50 o'clock, on
Sunday. October 20, and the question was
narrowed down to whether DR.. Leon, at
that particular time, on that particular
person, performed that particular opera
ton, for that particular purpose. 1t was
not for the defendant to prove his inno-
cence. but for the government to establish
his guilt. After stating that the prisoner
was in the keeping of the jury and the re-
sponsibilities of their position, he spoke OF
the defendant as an old man. The presump-
ton of his innocence must be removed by
a preponderance Of guilt. Mr.. Cook then
sketched the requirements of the law, and
commented on the testimony for the gov
eminent and said, aside from the testi-
mony Of the woman and of the others, 1t did
not prove that the act was performed that
day.
Where was the confederation? Who saw
her leave her home at 80 o'clock? Where
is the lover who Is said to have been With
her? asked Col. Cook He reviewed the
testimony of the government and claimed
that the testimony Of DR.. Holden. Mrs
Kahn, DR.. Woodward and others should be
thrown out, as 1t all ante-dated the crime.
He then took up the testimony of Miser
and others and asked II their testimony
should be thrown out. claiming that 1t had
not been impeached.
At this point a recess was taken.

At Night and During the Day an In
nocent Market Huckster.


William Henry Reed. a young colored
man, who has served time in every prison
In the District, has been doing business as
a huckster during the past year. but he was
never known to sell fruits and vegetables.
His stock always consisted of live chickens.
and he sold them at prices which put them
within reach of poor persons. Some of the
fowls he sold at grocery stores. his low
prices finding willing buyers. Many hen
roosts have been robbed during the year.
but 1t was not until a few days ago that
Reed was suspected Of being the robber.
Then Detectives Weldon and Lacy had rea-
son to suspect him. and only two days after
ward they received the information that two
roosts were robbed. The officers started cut
to investigate Reed. Their suspicious were
soon confirmed, and yesterday afternoon he
was arrested. After getting him in custody
the officers went in search of the fowls.
The house Of woman on Cleveland avenue
was visited and there two of the fowls We're
In a pot being put in condition for dinner,
and the officers told Mrs. Johnson that she
might just as well enjoy them. Two live
ones were also found, and they were taken.
At a grocery store on 18th street hen and
rooster were found and Reed was identified
as the individual, who had sold them to the
storekeeper.
The prisoner admitted that he had visited
the hennery Of Mr.. Morrison, No. 957 Flor
ida avenue, and told his manner of opcr-
ating. He said that when he reached the
hen house he took the fowls by the legs and
bills and threw them over the fence Then
he said. when they fiocked together he car
ried of several of them and made a second
trip to get the others. After getting their
evidence together. the officers took the pris-
oner to headquarters and measured him for
the rogues gallery. He was then locked up
for a hearing. Reed told the officers that he
passed a policeman on the street when he
had some q the chickens. and he was very
much afraid that the hens would cackle but
they did not. and he passed unobserved
Reed has been arrested a number of times
and several months ago he robbed the Press
Club. for which he was sent down for sixty
days. He will probably be tried In the Police
Court tomorrow.
