A MARVELLOUS DOCTOR.
Death Of Boston,s Most Wonderful
Surgeon and Physician.

DR.. James II. Cooke, the celebrated
blind surgeon and hypnotist, was
found dead in his homef ON Pinckney
street. Boston, April 13, alnder pecul-
lar circumstances. HiS.wife, Char
lOtte Cooke, is under the surveillance
Of the police.
Mrs. Cooke says that in the early
afternoon she found the doctor sitting
in the Office in q Stupefied condition.
She got him into bed and then went
out for few hours, leaving him
alone. When she returned he was
dead with bullet hole in the back Of
his head, the pistol having been
placed in his mouth. Some other per-
son in the house notified the police.
and an investigation is now in pro-
gress.
DR.. Cooke was one of the most sue
cessful operating surgeons i'm the
United States, despite the fact that
he was totally blind. He seemed to
have developed a psychic sense that
conferred more vivid and accurate
consciousness than sight enables most
people to enjoy. DIR. Cooke was grad
uated from the Boston University
School of Medicine in June, 1892. He
had been blind from his infancy.
When he was two years old he took
medicine that destroyed his sight.
After his graduation DIR. Cooke es-
tablished wonderful reputation as
a surgeon and built up an extensive
practice in Boston. He was not only
a master surgeon hut a clever Oculist.
a psychologist and an authority on
hypnotism. He wrote on Socialism.
was talented musician, an eloquent
lecturer an athlete and an ardent bi-
cyclist. He was but thirty-seven
years old, but he had such reputa-
tion that he was generally believed
to be much older.
His sense of touch was so delicate
that to watch the movements of his
knife in Il difficult surgical operation
was to feel that some unseen agency
was at work. taking the place Of
sight. Never did he permit the knife
to move Il fractional part Of an inch
in the wrong direction. Even his col
leagues regarded his work as mar
yellous.

positions We're taken by two senator's.

speech maintained. that the constitu.
ton could not extend over territory &C.
CURED by the United States, while Mr..
Turner OF Washington deliberately con.
tended that the constitution embraced
the acquired territory the very moment
the United States took possession Of 1t.
Mr. Teller held that this government
could make this outlying territory into
states or could hold II as colonies as 1t
saw fit; while Mr. Turned maintained
that the United States could not main.
tain colonies or dependencies. Abide
from the constitutional letters the two
senator's were In practical agreement.
Both were opposed 10 the pending bill
and both were opposed to any Of in
sular territory becoming part OF the
United States or any of its inhabitants
citizens Of the United States.
The House.
The District of Columbia appropria-
ton bill was taken up in the house
yesterday, and under the latitude al
lowed Mr.. Adamson of Georgia dis
cussed the Nicaragua canal, Mr.. Cow
