Successful Operation Performed Upon a
Deformed Boy.

Deformed Boy.
From the Chicago Chronicle: AT
unusual surgical operation to relieve
a child suffering from congenital de-
formation was performed at the Ger
man-American hospital last Wednes-
day with the most satisfactory re-
suits The surgeons predict that time
will prove the operation just as sue
cessful as it appears at present. The
subject was Charles Peters, an IL
year-old boy who lives with his moth
er in the little town Of Green Garden,
near Joliet. The boys legs below the
knees were somewhat rudimentary,
Instead of extending straight down
ward they joined the sides Of the
knee joints and turned backward and
upward, the two rudimentary feet
crossing each other at the boys back.
The unfortunate little fellow had to
go about on his knees. The hands
are also deformed, but he has such
good use of them that nothing will be
done to better them. The boys phys
ical deformity in no way affected his
mind 1t is said he is the leader of
his class at school and has in many
other ways shown the brightness OF
his intellect. 1t was decided after
thorough examination that 1t would
be far better for the boy to have ar
tificia1 limbs than to go about on his
knees, carrying his useless lower
limbs the rest of his life. In conse-
quence an immediate operation was
determined upon and the lad was
brought to Chicago and taken to the
German-American hospital for the OPP
Grafton. DR.. H. S. Haiselden was Sc
lected to do the surgical work. At IL
o'clock Wednesday morning the boy
was carried to the operating-room OF
the hospital and placed under the in
f1uence of chlorofOrm. The operation
is so rare that a number of physi-
clans were present to see it perform
ed and several of them assisted DR..
Haiselden in the work. The two de-
formed lower extremities were re-
moved at the joints and enough flesh
and skin cut from them to completely
cover the inner side of the legs at the
points where they had joined the
knees. In little over an hour both
legs were removed and the wounds
sewed up. During both operations
the boy was under the influence OF
chloroform and when he afterward
recovered he could not at first believe
that his legs had been taken off. The
patient stood the operation remark
ably we'll and it is said there is no
doubt whatever that he will recover
very rapidly. He will be supplied
with artificial lower limbs, and it is
claimed that he will be able to get
about ten times more easily and sat-
isfactorily than he could before the
operation.

INVENTION OF A WOMAN.
Collar Button Which Will Do Away

with Much Profanity.
Chicago men not few have in the
past month or two had occasion to bless
an inventor unknown to them. The
benedictions called down would doubt
less have been still more fervent had
the men known that the person to
whom they were indebted was
woman. For many years man has been
victim Of the trickeries of that imp
of ivory and the old Nick, the collar
button. For years he has followed it
in festive excursions down his back or
under the dressing table, suffering not
in silence and not patiently, but never
letting the wild idea enter his head that
there might be remedy. Men have
invented bicycle brakes, patent
churns, necktie fasteners and other Ia
Dor and temper saving devices unlim-
ited but way out of the collar but
ton difficulty has never been suggested
by a masculine mind. Not until the
advent of the new woman was there
any relief from the Internal cantrips
of the collar button. Linen collars are

with every waist she wears, be it silk
or cotton Her trials with the collar
button began some time ago, and after
a series Of games Of hide and seek and
many enforced hours of bodily contor-
lions not down in the catalogues of the
latest physical culture faddist, the
woman Of today set herself to work
with the true feminine instinct when
in a difficulty, and the result is her
troubles along this particular line are
over The woman in question is Mrs.

CASE OF CAPTAIN CARTER
Found Guilty by Court-Aartia!
of Misusing Public Moneys.
PR SSuRE ON THE PRESIDENT
Contrary to Precedent, the fina-
,ur. of the Court Will BE Review
ed by Attorney Seherai
Instead Of by ihe Judge Advocate
General.

C,n, Carter's case has been decided
,.;,st him and II is to be reviewed by
.,,ornev General Griggs. The findings
80 ,b. cour,-martial which tried this now
fauous case at Savannah and New YORK
have been in the War Department ior
nearly two weeks, but not until yesterday
did the fact leak out that the decision
of the court went against the young en-
yineer officer, who is accused OF squandef-
ing the Governments money TO the
amount of hundreds OF thousands OF dol
lars.
Under ordinary circumstances and con-
ditions the findings of the court martial
should be reviewed by the Judge Advo-
cate General. In view of the magnitude
of the charges against Capt. Carter. and
the widespread interest this remarkable
case has aroused, a new precedent is TO
be established in connection with the maj
review of the findings of the court that
Tried him.
There is a powerful secret and politicai
influence at work in behalf Of Capt. Car
ter. and il is believed that these two FAC
tors entered largely into the movement
to have the case reviewed by Attorney
General Griggs instead of permitting II
10 pass through the regular channels AT
The Judge advocate generals office
1t appears that Capt. Carriers friends
went to the President after the findings
of the court-martial reached Washington
and made very strong appeal to him to
have the case reviewed by the civil in
stead of the military officers of the Gov
ernment.~ Ii was said that from the very
beginning of the case a prejudice against
Capt. Carter had existed in the office of
the judge advocate general. There was
no intimation TO the President that the
findings of the court-martial should be
set aside or reversed, in Difference to the
influence ne has at his back.
II was urged by capt. Carter's friends
that Il he Is guilty of the chargse made
against him he should suffer the penalty
suggested by the court. If, on the other
hand, It can be shown that the result
was reached through prejudice the accus-
ed ought to have a further chance to es-
tablish his innocence. 1t was finally sug
gested that Attorney General Griggs
should be selected to review the findings
of the court before they are sent to the
President, and Mr.. Mckinley consented.
The action of the President in taking
the case away from the military depart
ment and submitting 1t to the civil branch
of the Government Is not generally
known, and there is sure to be some se-
we're criticism upon this rather unusual
procedure in dealing with the findings of
a military court-martal.

CAPTAIN DoRsr,s EXPEDITION
II Suffers From Lack of Military and
Naval Cooperation.

The expedition TO Cuba under Capt Dorst failed
because there not cooperation between the
military and naval force sof the United States.
The War Department is holding of general
movement against Cuba till the Navy is free
to act in conjunction with the military. but for
some reason other the Dorst expedition was
attempted without the aid of the naval forces.
Navy officials say request made To them
for naval vessels TO aid the Dorst party in ef-
fecting a landing to form union with insuT-
gents for whom they carried munitions of war.
They say further that they knew nothing Of the
expedition. For that reason warships ae-
companed the vessel carrying the party.
Had the War Department adhered 20 its general
policy and invited the aid of the Navy Depart
ment il is asserted that the expedition could
have been uplaced ashore of the island and the
desired result would have been accomplished.
