"ARMLESS WONDER" DIES
AT 13.

Little Russell Brown Could Do
with His Feet What Others Did
with Hands.
Russell Brown, 13 years old, of
Binghampton, N. Y, and known
all over Central and Southern
New York as an "armless Won
der," died in his mothers home
to-day, after short illness from
diphtheria.
Russell was born without arms,
but had managed to pass through
his short life without serious in.
convenience because of his won.
derful dexterity in using his feet
and toes. He com menced to use
his feet as substitutes for hands
and arms when he was baby.
Constant use of his toes made
them as pliable and controllable
as fingers, and there were few
things other boys could do that
Russell did not practice until he
could repeat them. He always
wore light kid shoes, covering his
feet as far forward as the ball,
leaving his toes exposed. With
these members he could handle a
knife and fork at the table, pick
up the smallest articles from the
floor, hold book and write.
The boys chief accomplish.
ment was playing on violin, in
which he was an adept. The vio-
lin was placed on some object un-
der his feet, and he played many
difficult compositions with skill.
A bicycle fitted with a steering
gear against which his shoulders
rested gave him plenty of outdoor
recreation, and he could perform
tricks without nun Der on the
wheel. Driving his mothers S
horse was another of his favorite
pastimes. At school Russell was
very popular and Jared just as
did the other scholars, except
that he had seat and desk which
allowed him to use his feet.
Although offered large sums
for the boy for exhibition puri
poses, his mother, Mrs. Effie
Gardner, always refused to turn
the little fellows accomplish
ments into money making

Hold Up Causes Surprise.

This was no: done, evidently to the
surprise Of a good many people. Why
the President did not az is not so easy
OF explanation. It was suggested that
the sudden death of Senator Mcmillan
was the reason why action was tempo
rarily deferred The President, how
ever, did not hold back the appointment
to the vacancy in the Chief Justiceship
on that account. and that reason was
soon disposed of this morning by thU
friends Of the expectaut candida ties.
The belief prevailed that the mind OF
the President had been shaken by let
ters received by him OF Saturday and
Monday morning urging the appointment
OF two other candidates besides the oEe
supposed TO have been decided upon.
These letters re erred to Mr. Louis P.
Shoema ker, and It was claimed this
morning that his chances we're musa
brighter than they had been.

for the appointment Of Mr.. Shoemake-
did not reach Mr. Roosevelt until yes
