REMARKABLE OPERATION
Finally Ended by Death.

Cincinnati, June 11.-William Judd,
whose case was one Of the most in
teresting of any of the 400 at the City
hospital, died there Monday morning.
Judd's foodpipe became SO closed that
he could no longer eat. The structure
prevented the FOOD from passing into
the stomach. He became very weak
and as a last resort the hospital sur.
geons cut hole in his side and
stomach and inserted a rubber tube
about ten days ago. Since then the
man lived by being fed milk, eggs,
broth. ETC., through this tube.
Judd refused to submit to the oper-
alton sooner. Had he done SO his life
might have been saved. Frank Schep-
per, another hospital patient who un-
derwent the same operation over a
year ago, is still alive.

Troubles.
He WAS ARRESTED
In Pittsburg While Playing His
Old Hand Organ and So-s
Iiciting Funds--known
In This City.

George Fetterman of East Liverpool,
a blind soldier and mendicant who Is
known in this locality, can be seen
playing hand organ in the street, par
ticularly at the conventions and large
gatherings of people He has griev-
ance against the Pittsburg authorities.
The Pittsburg Leader of last week has
the following to say:
A familiar old form playing little
grind organ at Liberty and Market
streets, where the Allegheny car stops
to take on passengers, has been absent
from his accustomed seat at the corner
OF the flower store for a week or more,
and the quaint, melancholy strains of
his time-worn hand organ, playing a
major portion Of the time in most weird
strains Nearer. My God, to Thee" has
not been drawing attention of passers-
by, who have accustomed themselves to
drop spare penny. in the old mans
hat every evening or SO.
| The sad sight of the veteran dressed
in n worn army suit, with one of his
little children patiently standing by his
side. waiting to receive the pennies,
caused many person to hesitate for
moment and gaze at the sightless
and helpless man with pity. But this
familiar sight is not to be seen at the
corner any more.
One day last week ne was arrested
by the police, who alleged that he was
violating city ordinance by playing
music in the streets. The old soldier,
whose name is George Fetterman, wan
dered into the Leader Office yesterday
afternoon, led by his two little boys.
He stated that he wanted to make a
protest against the city officials who
having licensed him to play his organ
on the streets. the license being good
until October, without the least warn
ing to desist playing, hustled him of
in patrol wagon last Wednesday
morning. and locked him behind the
bars until the next morning. He says
he was discharged only because he had
the license and they could not legally
hold him. The old fellow said:
IL was locked in cell for almost "a
hours. and when I asked even for d

me all kinds OF names, cursing me time

STRONG INFLUENCES
AGAINST THE move
Senator Hanns's Power 10 Re-
lied Upon to Put an End to
Representative Thomp-
sons "ConcentratI
Of Groatness"idea.

The national trustees Of the McKin-
ley Memorial association are not
alarmed over the proposal made in
q bill introduced into congress Tues
day to remove the bodies Of all the
presidents Of the United States except
that of George Washington to the Ma
tional cemetery In Arlington.
Nevertheless it has caused consider
able comment and opposition among
them and Canton people are consid-
erahly exercised over the possibility
Of losing the body of Mckinley now
resting in Westlawn. Senator Hanna
Is in Washington and it is thought
that his weighty influence will be
exerted to have the bill die in COM
mittee.
Judge William r. Day. the president
of the association, is not in Canton
at present, but is holding court in
Grand Rapids. Mica. William A.
Lynch, the other resident Of Canton
who is a member of the national board
ofitrustces. left for the east, and it is
thought that he will have conference
With Senator Hanna on the PROPOSE
tion.
Frederic s. Hartzell, secretary OF the
memorial association, said that the as
sociation would disregard the matter
altogether. He scouts the idea that
the bill will succeed in getting any
further along towards final legislation
than It has now reached.
"The matter has been considered,
said Mr.. Hartzell. 'sbut the association
derides the measure" MIR. Hartzell
said that the remains of President Nc.
Kinley are under the control of the
widow and that Canton would fight
hard against the removal of the body
from the city. Ee said that the work
OF the association will not be affected
in the least by the measure, as the
trustees are confident that such law
will never be enacted.
A meeting of the national trustees
of the association will be held in tho
ONCE of Senator Hanna In Cleveland
on juno II. This is the first meeting
OF the body since the one held In
Washington on February %. and there
is much to be considered.
A comprehensive report will be sub
mitted by Secretary Hartzell of tht
work that has been accomplished and
some changes may be ordered. 1t Is
possible that the matter of distributing
tho memorials to contributors will b.
considered.

Though the dweller~ along the sea,

wood picked up from salt water gave

to the coioring Of the flames until the
rich summer visitors came down East
and changed the picking Of driftwood
from an occupation akin into idleness
into profitable callEg.
For FIVE years the whole coast line
Of Penobscot bay has been secured In
quest OF wood. and when the supply
grew scarce and the price advanced
from $40 to s25 cord, Boston chem
ist grew rich from inventing a powder
which y.hen burned with dry wood

genuine wood from the sea.
