is MAMMA TO MANY TOTS.
Had Nineteen Babies Born in Twelve
Years and Wants Divorce.

Mrs. Alice Ormsby, of Chicago, tired
of matrfmony and maternity, has
brought suit for divorce, alleging that
her husband has deserted her.
Mrs. Ornsby, probably more en-
phatically than any woman in the
United States. has obeyed the Biblical
Injunction to be fruitful and multiply.
Married only twelve years and not yet
thirty years of age, she has presented
her husband With bankruptcies, two
sets of triplets, three pairs of twins
and three singles, making total OF
nineteen names which she has con-
tributed to the census rolls.
Mrs. Ormsby's latest addition to the
population of the United States quad
ruplcts-was made about three months
ago. Her husband was absent at the
time ard she has not heard from him
since. His prolonged absence has led
her to ask for divorce.
Seen in reference to the suit, Mrs.
Ormsby said:
Eyes, have applied for a divorce,
and when it is granted [ shall never
marry again. You may say that | am
tired of matrimonY."

TO ABOLISH USELESS OFFICE.
Mr.. Kniqht Introduces Resolution for
That PURPOSE.

Members of the Legislature are now
after Mr.. Edward L. Brown, the spe-
cial attorney of the Western and At
lantic railroad, for Mr.. Knightof Ber-
rien has taken it upon himself to IL
troduce the following resolution;
"Whereas, 1t has been found that
the Office of special attorney of the
Western and Atlantic railway is no

Resolved, by the house of repre-
,entatives of the state of Georgia, the
,enate concurrine. That the said office
of special attorney Of the western ana
Atlantic railroad be and the same is
hereby abolished.
Last year member introduced the
same resolution AMI, seeing that 1t
could not pass, amended it, fixing the
pay of the special attorney at 81 ,OOO per
year instead of $1,000, which he now
receives. The bill was lost in the SEN
ate and is again presented this year.
Friends of Mr.. Brown contend that the
resolution is the outcome OF the depot
wrangle. But there are many who are
also friends OF Mr. Brown who are OF
the opinion that the Office is useless
one, and that the attorne- general
could look after the work, and that the
state could save the 5000. Mr. knight
very correctly says:
"There is absolutely no use for the
Office. 1t is simply paying $4,000 out Of
the state treasury for nothing, and
think it is time to stop. My under
standing is that the road has only few
cases pending, and | am sure that the
attorney general can look after all mat
tiers which the road has on hand.

RESTORING THE MIND.
IdiOtic Boy Cured by Daring SurRl
cal Operation.

IdiOtic Boy Cured by Daring surRl-
cal Operation.
A remarkable surgical operation,
which consisted in removing a portion
of an abnormally thick or misshaped
skull, was recently performed by DR..
Gottlieb Sternberg of New York. His
patient was thirteen-ye Isador
Levine, also Of New York, who had
been an idiot from birth. The boy is
now able to learn, and his education
has been begun.
Before / performed the operation"
said DR.. Sternberg the other day to
reporter Of the New York Journal,
there had been two successful cases
out of ten attempts in Paris. | first
saw the boy in the early part of last
May and gave him frequent eXamina-
tons. He was quite insane. There was
d lack of coordination in his muscular
movements, no concentration of mind.
and his eyes were not responsive to
any light of intelligence. | found a
considerable depression on the left side
Of the top of the skull. which showed
a great contrast to that of the right
side
81 came to the conclusion that the
boys mental condition resulted from
the undue pressure Of the skull upon
the left side of the brain. Partial pa
ralysis Of some Of the right muscles
and limbs helped me to this conclusion.
AS is well known, an affection Of the
left part of the brain affects the limbs
on the opposite side of the body, and
vice versa.
1.-THE operation lasted just twenty
five minutes. / first of all trephined
the boys skull just over the left eye
removing a circular piece of bone the
size of a five cent piece, which en-
abled me to examine the brain and in
sert a pair of rongeur forceps, with
which the skull would be clipped
away Before this the skin of the
scalp had been laid back In flaps.
with the forceps l chiseled out a
strip of the patients skull about six
inches in length by one and a half
inches wide at the front to two inches
wide at the back.
THAT my diagnosis was correct was
demonstrated, as the
brain sprung up through the oritice
like a sponge. After antiseptic treat
ment the scalp was replaced. One of
the instantaneous results of the opera
ton when the patient regained con-
seriousness was that the pupils of the
eyes became sensitive to light and
contracted in response to increased
Since then the lads mem
tai capacity has gradually increased.

Being Provided with Light That
May BE Seen Forty Miles Away.
An experiment OF great interest to the
lighthouse system of the world is to be
made on the Diamond Shoal lightship
when she is placed on her station next
December, through which the officers
of the lighthouse board expect to pro-
ject a great thirteen inch beam of light
from the sea TO the sky, which will be
visible to mariners from thirty to forty
miles, says a Washington dispatch to
the New York Sun. The cluster Of
white electric lights now shown from
the masts of the lightship have visi
bility of only thirteen miles, and it is
proposed that shipping passing Halter
as may be able TO pick up the lightship
three times the distance by the power
full beams of light playing on the heay-
ems. The secretary Of the lighthouse
board believes, if the test is successful
that it will play a most important part
in the lighthouse system and will be
applied to all lightships of the future.
The apparatus now being fitted to
the Diamond Shoal lightship at Balti-
more will project beam straight to-
ward the sky, and the rolling ship in
the rough waters off Hatteras will play
it about in wigwag fashion and nat
urally attract attent-n. Warships have
been known to maintain communica-
ton for thirty miles wigwagging their
searchlghts. officers of the lighthouse
service believe it will be possible to
employ a searchlight system on light
ships by which the locality of the yes
sci may be discovered fifty miles away
under favorable weather conditions. 1t
is cOntended that as a guide to mari
ners the new system. throwing a thir-
teen inch beam light into the dome of
