CURIOUS SKIN GRATING,

New Orleans Times-Democrat: Skin
grating has become a science and it's
practice rarely eXcites more than pass
ing interest nowadays, but the operation
just undergone by Mr.. John Russell, of
Costa RIGA, at the Charity Hospital, is by
far the most unique and curious yet
known to modern surgery. One week
Mr.. Russell gloried in possessing one sin
gle outfit of anatomy, just like other
everyday folk: today he bears the strange
distinction of possessing an anatomy
composed of parts of four different and
distinct individuals-one negro baby, one
mulatto child, n English sailor, and
hinlself-and under all this manifold re-
sponSlblllty he nevertheless feels better
than he has for months past. Naturally
the patchwork which now adorns a large
part of one of his legs is of varied color,
and, the patches having been made in
small squares, the surface bears a strong
resemblance to an orthodox checker or
chess board. 1t all happened this way:
Fifteen years ago Mr.. Russell left New
Orleans for Central America and his long
residence in a tropical country developed
blood troubles, which resulted in a skin
affection. which, in turn, necessitated his
coming up to this city for treatment. His
system being permeated with malaria
caused the doctors considerable trouble
in treating the ulcer, and it was finally
decided by DR.. Fenner. who had charge
of the case, that extensive skin grating
was necessary.
Efforts were then made to secure some
strong, healthy man, who. for a consid-
Grafton, would surrender a slice of cuti-
| Gle large enough to patch up Mr.. Russell.
But the size of the patch required was of
such dimensions that no one could be
found who was willing to give up that
much of his anatomy. About this time
things began looking a bit serious for Mr..
Russell and the doctor said it would be
necessary to graft from one part of his
body to the other. But this plan, because
OF the poor health Mr.. Russell was in,
was fraught with danger, and DR.. Finney
said he would make another effort to get
the needed skin from somebody else.
With this in view he told Russell to hold
himself in readiness to answer a hasty
summons by telephone, and for several
days the sufferer sat around the rotunda
of the Commercial hotel, where he has
had rooms since he came up from the
south, waiting for the telephone to ring.
A week ago the first came.
He was instructed to hurry to the hOspi-
tai, and when he arrived was told to
climb upon the operating table, as an
operation was about to be made on a ne
gro hid and he was to have the benefit
of it. A few moments later, everything
being in readiness. and Russell being in
a waiting frame Of mind, the doctor
came hurriedly to him and slapped on
several squares of skin, the pigment of
which was as black as a real, genuine
black African can produce. There was
not skin enough to cover the entire in
jured part. n Russell was told to GO
back to the hotel and wait for another
summons. 1t came a day or two later,
ana this time several squares of skin,

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATOR'S.

IhE NEW hAmFShAhE rhNAIOhbs
AS an inquiry to get at the truth of
the allegation that Senator Gallinger had
teen violating the civil service statutes
the Investigation at Concord was little
more than farce. In the first place the
commissioners did not have the power
when parties VITO know them are not in
oiinsd 10 tell, namely the power TO sum
mon witnesses and compel them to testify
In the second place they do not seem to
have been specially anxious to use what
power they did have. There was direct
evidence that circulars were sent out
signed ly tho Secretary of political
committee asking for dotinite sums from
Federal office holders. and 1t was admit
ted that Senator Gallinger was chairman
OF the committee. This OF course did not
necessarily show that the senator was
knowing to the circular, or approved of
II but it did raise presumption to that
effect and create sort of prima faoie
case against him. The only way to en-
sure thorough Investigation was to ex-
anime the man who signed the circular
and the IN en- who received it. Some of
tie latter did appear. but they could
give no information bearing ON the
question of Senator Gallinger's con-
Aection with the document. The
man that mighs have thrown some
, light On thai was not called, and
naturally did not volunteer. Perhaps
he would not have come II he had been
asked nevertheless 1t would have been
bstter to ask him--it would have looked

10 set the bottom facts. Perhaps the
reason that the commissioners took %
