NEW sKIN-GRAFTING PROCESS.
Successful Operation on n Plymouth
Man in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30.-Physicisns
and scientists in this city are an, iously
watching the result OF one OF the first
operations in the new process Of skin graft
ing now being conducted BY Or. J. William
White on Dr. Samuel French. Of Plymouth
Pa. at the University Hospital The pa
tient was admitted over two months ago
with severe burns of the face and head.
and since that time has undergone six sue
cessful operations in grating
DIR. White performed the last operation
last Saturday when about six inches OF
skin was removed from the leg OF Claud
French a brother OF the patient. and the
live particles in the form of dust were
sprinkled on the head OF Dr. French The
portion OF the face that was treated in this
manner three weeks ago has taken on a
new growth and no semblance of the burn
ed and SCARED skin remains.
Only the productive tissues of the skin
are scraped from a good healthy body and
transferred to the patients body in the
shape of dust. This process of skin graft
ing is new thing to the medical profes-
sion and so far the engrafted skin has
grown more rapidly than the older process.
DIR. French, who is a recent graduate of
the University of Pennsylvania, was seri-
ously injured by the explosion of lamp
while on a hunting trip near MeekeT, Col,
in December. His left eye was blown out
and the ear was torn off in the explosion,
which almost burned the hair from his
head. After remaining several weeks at a
Denver hospital the doctor came East and
decided to undergo the operation for skin

THEIR SIGHT RESTORED.
Brooklyn Physician Discovers "a
RrmedN for BIindncss.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-By a new and
original system OF internal administra .ion
of medicine DR.. Herbert J. Knapp, an emf
nent Brooklyn physician. has, in few
months, restored sight to eyes that we're
totally blind for twenty years. The per-
sons who are again in possession OF the
precious treasure which they had lost are
James Dimond, Eugene Bailey and Frank
Quevedo, inmates of the Home for the
Blind, in Brooklyn.
In August, 1899, the men we're wholly
visionless. Today they can see the light,
the sidewalk, buildings. cars, forms CT all
kinds, and can distinguish colors and al
most faces. They are zealOusly religious,
and really look upon DR.. Knapp as a heay-
emily commissioner. They pray for him.
In July last Dimond who was bereft os
sight twenty years ago, heard that DR..
Knapp had restored the vision of a girl
named Letta Miller. He subsequently con-
suited the physician and treatment was be-
gun on August l. When, three weeks later,
he awoke enc morning and saw the sun
light, he urged Bailey and QuevedO, who
had been blind for years. TO try the sane
treatment They did so, and the result w3s
the same. Their sight improves every day.
In eXtenuation of a polite refusal 10
discuss his remedy, DR.. Knapp said yes
terday:
II don't want to talk about ii because |
don't want to be accused of rushing into
print over a discovery which has no, yet
been sufficiently tested or developed. The
treatment consists mainly in the admins
tration of some pills. No; / won't reveal
the ingredients of them. OF course. | have
great faith in my remedy. and | hope io
fully restore the sight Of Dimond, Queyedo.

A MORTGAGE FOR s1o,ooo,ooo.
Made to Secure Bonds of "a Coke and
Coal Company

BRISTOL, Va, Jan. 30.-The first mort
gage of the Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke
Company to secure bonds aggregating $10,-
600, 900, which bonds were issued upon the
organization of the company last March,
has been recorded in the office of the clerk
of the hustings court here. This mortgage
required $4,999.50 in United States revenue
stamps in order to comply with the pro-
visions of the war tax law.
The mortgage reveals that the company
is paying per cent interest On all its
bonds. the payments being made March 1
and September 1 of each year. These
bonds run for period of fifty years at the
same rate OF interest. 1t will be seen
from this that the company is paying
$500 900 a year for the use of the capital
upon which it operates. This is at the
rate of fractiono over 81 1863 per day. At
this rate the company will have paid the
equivalent of the principal within twenty
years. and two and a half times that at
the maturity of the bonds.
This may seem large sum to pay for
operating capital but 1t is unofficially es-
timated that the company is clearing at
least $12, 900 a day on its twelve furnaces
now in operation. With what the COM
pany now has in contemplation il prices
hold up, it will not be surprising IL its
earning capacity is doubled within twelve
months.

AN ANTITRUST Law VOID.
The Illinois Measure Declared to He
Jncon>titutionRi.

CHICAGO Jan. 30.-The Illinois anti
trust law has been declared unConstitu-
tiOBal by Judge kohlsaat in the United
States Circuit Court. Because Of the see
tion which eXempts from its provisions the
agriculturist and stock raiser. the court
held that the statute is tainted with class
and special Legislation, and is in con-
prevention OF both the Federal and State
constitutions. In the decision Judge Kohl
saat did not conine his findings to the
clause in question, but ruled against the
entire act
The antitrust statute was enacted in
1893. Decisions uphoding the validity of
the act OF 1891, OF which the law OF 1898
is an ampliiieation. have been rendered by
the States chief tribunal in the milk
shippers and glucose cases, but that
statute did not contain the clause which
Judge Kohlsaat today finds is class legis-
lation.
The Objectionable part OF the law is
section .. which contains the words: THE
provisions of this act shall not apply to
agricultural products or live stock while
in the hands of the producer or raiser"
Fhe action by which the constitutionality
of the law was attacked was brought by
the Union Sewer Pipe Company to re-
cover about $4,000 on contracts made sew
eral years ago.

THE PRICE OF BIBLES RAISED.
Printing Houses I'm a Trust to Con-
troll the Market.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. SO.--Dr l. C.
Meyer. of the Bible department OF the
Evangelical Association of this city an
nounced that he has received word from
two Bible selling concerns that the price
of Bibles will be advanced. How much
the advance will be he does not say. The
greatest increase in price. 1t is alleged,
will be in teachers Bibles.
This is in line with the statement Of the
Methodist Episcopal American Book Re
pository that Bible prices would be in
creased from Is to % per cent and that
five of the oldest Bible printing concerns
in the world controlled the trust, that the
oxford, the International, the Frye K
POttswood. the Cambridge, and the Thomas
Nelson & Son were in the trust to advance
the prices. Mr. Meyer declares that the
American Bible Society is not in the agree
ment to raise prices
