PASSING OF NOTABLE CAPITAL FIGURE

In the death of Col. Isaac R. Hill, known for
generations back Ike HILL of Ohio the house
of representatives has lost its most unique char
acter. Col. Hill had been unique figure in
national and Ohio politics for two decades AL
ways stanch Democrat, he associated himself
actively with its party history, more especially
in his home state For years his peculiar per-
sonalty of form and vernacular have impressed
the delegates to nearly every party convention,
both national and state. He came to Washington
originally when John G. Thompson, of Columbus
was made sergeantat-arms of the house of rep
resentatives, and has been attached in some
capacity to the lower branch of congress ever
since.

about Ike" Hill In fact, so constantly has he

Some Surgical Marveis.
Philadelphia and Toledo, Ohio, have
recently contributed to the list Of
marvels of surgery through operations
on the brains of inc0rrigible and men,
tally defective boys. A still more re.
cent case is that of Carl Fredericks,
aged nine years, of No. 200 Clinton
street, Hoboken He is under observa-
ton at the Railway Reformatory prep
aratory to the practical reconstruction
of his brain.
The doctors say the boys brain is
so peculiarly constructed that it pre-
vents him from being good for more
than an hour at a time. The head is
of abnormal shape, the skull coming
to point.
Tests made few days ago showed
that the boy had no sense of right or
wrong. This is attributed to an alb
normal brain growth. AS a result of
the operation, which includes the cut
ting out of certain parts of the brain,
it is expected to relieve the boy of his
wicked tendencies and transform him
into model youth.

ing the problem of making us over

END OF ExToRTIoN CASE.
Stocking Sent to Waupun and Miller
Heavily Fined.

Raeine.-The appearance of the
father-in-law of Hiram d. Miller, al
legged accomplice in the Robinson ex-
tortion case, seems to have wrought
a change in both of the defendants.
Frederick Stocking, who is said to
have been the prime mover in the
case, requested that he be allowed
to enter a plea of guilty, and at the
same time it was announced that
Miller also would take his sentence.
Stocking was arraigned first, and
was sentenced to serve Is months at
Waupun. He said that for three
months prior to the commission of
the act he had been in i'll health both
mentally and physically, and that he
had financial and other troubles.
Miller made no statement, but was
represented by his fatherin-law,
who made statement in which he
asserted that he had known Miller
for Is years, during which time he
had borne an excellent reputation.
He asked that a fine be imposed, as
Miller would be able to resume his
position in Milwaukee at any time,
his employers there agreeing to re-
engage him. His fine was made 5000
and costs.

It is the fashion among real artists,

according to the theory of the Ger
man surgeon. In the case cf Lena
Wolff he believed the pancreas was
minus one very important digestive
essential, without which it could not
do it's work properly. That very i'm
portant essential had to be supplied
by grating a portion of ductless
gland from another living person.
The child's mother readily offered
herself as a sacrifice. She was per-
pectly willing to undergo the neces-
sarily painful and tedious operation of
having part of her throat grated on
the body of her little daughter if only
it would give Lena her reason.
The operation took place in one of
the large hospitals in Berlin, and by
the grating process one end OF the
mothers thyroid gland was released
and stretched over to the exposed pan
crease of her idiot daughter.
For days neither motherr nor child
was permitted to move. To insure a
successful grating operation they
had been tightly bound together, the
child's body against her mothers neck,
and there they remained until the
severed end of the thyroid gland had
knit firmly to the pancreas, forming
living, pulsating link between mother
and daughter. Then the link was cut,
leaving portion of the thyroid gland
grated successfully to the child's
pancreas. It is believed now that
both mother and child will recover.
The complete success of the opera
ton, cannot, however, be announced
yet, as too short a time has elapsed
since the operation was performed.
First Dawn of Reason.
But it is known that the dawn OF
reason came to little Lena Wolf al
most Immediately after the thyroid
gland began to knit. For the very
first time the idiotic stare gave place
to a look of intelligence. She may
grow up to be a very bright young
woman
DR.. Swale Vincent, professor of
physiology in the University of Mani
toba, at Winnipeg, Canada, has pre-
pared an extremely interesting article
on the duties of the thyroid gland, the
pancreas and other ductless glands,
which appeared in a recent issue of
the London Lancet.
cit is believed" he says, that these
ductless glands manufacture and pour
directly or indirectly into the blood
stream some substance or substances

An Idiot From Birth.

forming the duties for which it was
intended.
This, in the history of medical
science, is without a parallel, not only
because such an operation was never
attempted before, but also because
of it's seeming vagueness. The idea
of grating part of the throat of
mother to the pancreas gland of her
child with the expectation of convert
ing the child from idiocy to a normal,
mental condition would seem at first
glance unworthy of serious consider
alton. But DR.. Karl Care, professor
of surgery in the medical faculty of
Breslau university, to whom the oper
alton is credited, did exactly what has
been described above, and recent de-
spatches from Berlin declare that the
operation has been pronounced a com
plete success.
Professor Care is an eminent Ger
man surgeon whose success in the
transplanting of organs from one ami
NAL to another and even from the
lower animals to human beings, has
attracted the attention and admira-
ton of surgical men all over the
world. When his report of how he
changed Lena Wolff from an idiot into
a bright and intelligent little girl is
completed it will form valuable adj
dition to the list of modern miracles
of surgery.
From the details of the case al
ready received from Germany it ap-
pears that Lena Wolff was born an
idiot six years ago, says the New
York World. Reason never dawned
for her as in other babies. She had
come into the world without one ap-.
parent spark of intelligence and
seemed doomed to pass her whole life
without kno wing the joys and sorrows
of living.
Her case was called to the attention
of Professor Care, who was inter
ested from the very beginning, be-
cause in it he saw possibility of be-
ing able to prove the correctness of a
theory on which he had been at work.
This involved the probable action or
influence that certain substances or
Secretions found in the ductless
glands of the human body have upon
the blood.
1t is the blood, as everybody knows,
that feeds the brain, keeping it active
and clear and in good working order.
If the blood is thin or sluggish the
brain is first to record that fact. The
great German surgeon knew that the
reason Lena VOLTS brain was dull
and inactive was because the blood
was not feeding it as it should.
One of the principal duties of the
pancreas, situated just behind the
stomach, is to superintend the regular
feeding of the brain with good blood,
