UNIQUE WAR RECORD
LIEUT.. ENOCH STAHLER'S TERRI
BILE INJURY IN CIVIL WAR.
Bones of Elbow Removed by Confed-
crate Surgeon on the Field
Of Battle.

Lieut.. Enoch Stahler, an employe OF the
government printing office and residing at
235 New JerseyRvenue northwest, has a
unique army record and one which 1t is be-
heved was never duplicated
Lieut.. Stahler was a member Of Company
A, Sd Regiment, New York Cavalry. In the
civil war; and participated with his COM
mand in several battles of that period,
having had two horses shot under him in
the engagements. October Z, 1854, his regt-
ment was in an engagement on Darby
town road. about four miles from Rich
mond, and in the fight Lieut.. Stahler was
shot. the ball entering the left arm and
tearing away the greater portion OF the
left elbow. He was unable to reach the
federal lines and was captured by the con-
federates, whose surgeons cared for his
wounds. They found 1t necessary to re-
move the elbow and did so as he lay on an
improvised operating table made of an old
door. For a time he was prisoner IN
Libby prison. but was later exchanged and
sent to the hospital at Annapolis. BY ener-
getic efforts his arm was saved.
Twenty years after the war closed Lieut..
Stahler endeavored to find the confederate
surgeon who had operated on his arm on
the Darbytown road. He inserted an ad-
vertisement in an Atlanta paper and among
the many replies received was one from
DR.. Bohemian, who was surgeon of the
Hampton Legion, and who proved to be the
surgeon that had performed the operation.
Necessarily therefore, he was the man for
whom Lieut.. Stahler was hunting. In the
letter, which Lieut.. Stahler still has and
prizes highly. DIR. Bozeman says: "If you
are certain that the operation was per-
formed by the surgeons OF the Hampton
Legion, suppose l must have performed
It The time your arm was operated on
we were open enemies; both thought we
were battling for Just cause. You were
victorious In the end and We were unfor-
tunate. The din OF battle has ceased and
peace exists. for which we all rejoice. 1t
was my lot to operate and treat many
Union soldiers and my delight to render
them any kindness possible"
The home Of DR.. Bozeman is at Ninety
Six, s. c.
Subsequent to the war Lieut.. Stahler
was engaged In business In Lockport, N. r.
and later in Minneapolis. He accepted a
position in the government printing Office
several years ago and has resided In this
city since that time. He can twist his
arm as IL 1t were fashioned Of the most
flexible material, doubling it backward as
readily as he can In the manner designed
by nature. Perhaps no other man Of either
army in the civil war, or Of any army in
any other war, suffered exactly the same
results from wounds received in battle.

Water and Typhoid FeverP


r. g. Eccles declares that there is no rea-
sonable room to doubt that the development
of typhoid fever is connected with the use
Of infected water; but that typhoid fever
results from the drinking of infected water
is quite different proposition. He then
emphasizes the important part which flies
play in carrying disease germs to food.
These insects 60 through human excreta.
garbage, Stops. sputa, and decomposing
matter In one minute and then wade over
our food at the next. It is easy to see how
food may multiply disease germs to the
danger point, but 1t Is not evident how any
person could take the disease from water
that thousands are drinking without the
slightest injury; Typhoid germs injure by
their toxin. When these germs get into
food there is practically no limit to the
poison that they are able to produce II the
conditions are favorable. The writer then
goes into various phases of this question.
He considers water. dust and fomites as
mere seed sewers. Food is the disease
breeder In the late war the Japanese lost
only one-sixth as many from typhoid fever
and dysentery as did the Russians. The
writer ascribes this fact to the differences
in the character and the method of caring
for the food of the two nations

Through sleepers to Buenos Ayress

One OF the dramatic railroad probabIli-
ties of this century is the establishing Of
through railroad service between North
and South America. From New York to
Buenos Ayres in Pullman sleeper is re-
garded by many as one of the sure things
and some of those who have given the
matter much thought predict a through
service between Alaska and Patagonia.
One OF the principal difficulties to be en-
countered in this great Pan-American
railroad enterprise will be the varying
attitudes. ranging all the way from sea
level to several thousand feet above This
does not appeal to the average individual
as feasible. but 1t is no less so than was
the Union Pacific project in Its day.

stone columns. This will be OF the same
ished of In highly polished and carved
white stone, while the broad steps leading
up to it will be Of granite.
Size and Interior Finish.
AS to size and interior finish, this build
ing will be superb in every way, and will
besides be fully adapted for all modern
treatment of the sick. When finished 1t
will be four stories high, including the
basement, and will have about ninety large
rooms, including wards, offices. waiting

floor and an equal number on. the third
floor. The operating and etherizing rooms
will also be on the latter floor. All the in
terror woodwork Is to be Of the finest OF
material, and nothing will be left undone
that will help to make 1t modern insti-
tuition.
The building will be steam-heated and
electric-lighted throughout, and there will
be installed besides an electric elevator
plant, a mechanical ventilating system,
which will be constructed SO as to furnish
pure ventilation to all parts of the hos
pital, and thus add greatly to the health
and comfort Of its patients.

Charles Hawtrey tells of this experience:
During a trip through Europe he found
himself in a small village with no razors.
There was no BARRIERS shop in the place.
THE innkeeper told me-" says Mr.. Haw-
trey, that there was a man in the VIII
lage who occasionally shaved people, and
i determined to risk a cut or two, and sent
for him.
THE amateur barber arrived, and after
little hesitation he said to me: Will

Gum Chewing.

From the New York Times
OF course, there has always been more
or less gum chewing in this favored land
since it has contained white men and women
and resinous substances susceptible Of con-
tinued masticaton. There are even popu-
lar sayings derived from the practice which
have been in use for several generations.
He cannot chew gum without written
receipt" 'She cannot chew gum and look
off," There was even in the old days. when
the practice of chewing tobacco was more
frequent and more shameless than 1t 10 at
present. and when the adolescent thought
to prove himself an adult, an effective de-
mand for spruce and ''tamarack" from
minors who desired to be thought hard
ened tobacco chewers. but who betrayed
themselves by refraining from expectoration
lest the expectoration should betray them.
The present recrudescence Of gum-chew-
ing. however. dates from the bicycle

allayed the pangs Of thirst. and the rounded

larry contortions suggestive OF mastication.
gum-chewing habit 10 far more preva-

attacked the female sex with especial fury.
LOOK up In the elevated cars or in the sub
way cars, and If there is a row of young
women of the saleslady class opposite you
the chances rather are that they will be
seen masticating in sad sincerity, like 80
SO many cows In row In a stable. They
seem to imbibe a solid satisfaction from the
process. In many cases they would rather
chew than chatter, and that is saying a
great deal.
1t would be interesting to the non-chewer
to know what Is the source Of this secret

AboI;Si, the RiIIboards Too.

While the railroads are moving on
the free ride and pass business, they
can do the general public real and
lasting service by extending the move
ment to the billbOards and advertising
signs which now distigure their prop
erty and render the approaches to
many Of our cities and towns a sight
hideous to every heholder. says Les
lies Weekly. The New York Central
has recently passed along the word to
its division bosses that its own rule
against these billboard nuisances must
be hencefOrtn enforced to the letter.
and for this much relief the travellers
over this particular line or system Will
be duly thankful. The railroads. OF
course. have no authority to secure the
removal of the billboards outside os
their own property limits, but they can
set good example as far as they 20

owners to take similar action.
