catastrophe that has befallen San
Francisco. No prelate has deserved
better of the church in this country
than Archbishop Riordan, and it is a
deep satisfaction to me to be able to
respond to his appeal; and SO. in how
ever poor a fashion, TO show my affec-
tiOn and veneration for him, / hereby
appoint the second Sunday of May, the
18th day of the month, as the date on
which throughout the diocese of Peo-
ria a collection shall be taken for the
benefit of the sufferers from the San
Francisco earthquake. This somewhat
late date is chosen 10 give the pastors
time to bring the matter to the atten-
ton OF their congregations, and to
point ont to them the need of gen
erOus response to this appeal.
Please send check for the amount
received to Rev. B. J. O'Reilly, chan
cellor of the diocese.

most remarkable skin grating opera
tions known to surgery has been ac.
complshed in the case Of George S.
Kilby, of No 50 Gates avenue, Brook

his body remade with Ala pieces of
skin. which was grated on him.
The pieces were one quarter of an
inch in diameter, so that nearly three
square feet CT skin have been grated
on his body,
Operations of this nature are com
mon in hospital work, but 1t is seldom
if ever, that so large an area of a
mans body has been covered. In
many cases the skin is cut from one
part of the body and grated on an
other, but this could not be done III
Mr. X lby's case, as 80 much of the
body was burned that there were lie
more skin pores open than were abso
