LITTLE LEE COHEN

Run Over By 4 Street Car Month Ago
ana at First Il Was Thought He
Would Die

After having spent more than month
IN Freedmau's Hospital suffering intense
pain as the result Of a street car bav-
ing passed over his left leg and so in
juring that member that an amputation
was necessary. little Lee Cohen. the six
year-old boy, is again at his home at the
corner Of Sixth and h Streets north
west. having been discharged from the
hospital last night in exceptionally good
health, but minus his right leg.
The case Of little Cohen was a re-
markable one in the fact that. after he
was injured the surgeons at Freedman's $
Hospital were OF the opinion that he
could not live. Dr. warfeId. the head
Of the Institution. however. was deter
mined TO do all in his power TO save the
lads life. and preparations were at once
made for an amputation- Because OF the
weak state OF the boys heart the oper-
alton had TO be postponed for several
days, but finally all arrangements were
completed and the shattered member
was removed
Even still the unfortunate lads eondi-
ton remained critical. and it was only
the watchful care bestowed upon him by
the members Of the surgical staff Of
FTeedman's Hospital that eventually
saved his life. The father OF the lad.
Mr. George Cohen, was in Chicago when
the accident occurred. but arrived in this
city few days after the operation was
performed, and had been in constant at
tendance at his sons apparent death
bed until last ght, when he was dis
charged The fond parent vas cTazsd
with joy at the prospects Of his little
sons recovery and heartily thanked Dr.
Warfeld and the members Of his staff
for their actions.

OF KOREA in IsoI-H. II.
Allen, United States Minister at
Seoul, writes under date of May "a:

Korea experienced severe drought in
1861, which coused a very general fall
ere OF crops and much consequent dis
tress. The trade for the first half Of
the year. however. was so good that the
total was larger than ever before The
value Of trade is given in the customs
reports assfoIIows:
Imports from foreign countries. ST.

Gal; total. $I5. .662. .948- To this should be
added: Import of nickel blanks for coin
age, $500, ,105; export of gold. 50. .4S6. .6Se
As there is no direct communication
between Korea and the United states.
imports from the latter country DO not
appear separately. but are included with
those from China and Japan. a consfd-
cradle portion of the cotton goods i'm
ported into Korea from Japan is manu-
lactured from American cotton. The
same is true Of the tobacco brought
from Japan. Doubtless. many other OF
the articles imported from China and
Japan are of American origin. BY in
quiry among American importers in
Korea. it is found that the following
impOrtatIons o. american goods have
been made.
Kerosene and sundTies. S3I2, ,0Gi; mills,
machinery, and supplies, $249, 900; EIec-
trical plant and lumber, $236, ,621 Total.
$7S7, ,622
The expectation of gold is increasing

mining in Korea in 1855 the export has
been:
