SAVES LIFE OF NUN.
Sister Mary Callista of Dubuque on
Way to Recovery Because of
Graftinn of Skin
Grating Of Skin.


Dubuque, Aug. cit now seems that
after remarkable skin grating treat
ment, Sister Mary Callista is to recov-
er, and the self sacrifice of her friends
and the heroic spirit shown by herself
are to bear fruit
Last fall while waxing a floor in St.
yoseph's college in Dubuque the pre-
paration used ignited and the young
sister was frightfully burned. Practic-
ally her whole tody suffered, in many
places the burns extending clear to
the bone.
The test of friendship was made
when the need was known of pieces of
skin to be grated on the sufferer Sis
ter Mary Callista has made many
warm friends during her short life
among the sisters at st. Joseph's col
lege, and twelve of them, the type of
genuine friends, sacrificed their skin
that Sister Callista's chance of life
might be increased.
The intense suffering caused by
twelve such operations, is over and
the period of convalescence has set in
The patient is now able to take the
air daily, propped on pillows, and I'M
less something unforeseen develops
no more operations will be necessary
and all that will remain will be tc
regain the vitality upon which such
heavy demands have been made.
Skin grating is not common treat
ment and on such scale as was found
necessary in the case Of Sister Callists
Is quite unusual.

Many of the sleds GOV cred the distance in less than a min ute. These sledding matches are tC Huntington what the game that de- cides baseball championship is to New York city or a Yale-Harvard football struggle is to New Haven or Boston.
 Village rivalry was the chief fac tor in creating scenes which re- sembled the betting ring at race track. Every village contingent went prepared to back its sleds to the limit of its pocketbooks. As the re- suit some were joyful and some were mournful.

REPRIMAND FOR NAVY BOUT.
Commander Rebuked for Allowing Fight in Which Seaman Was Killed.

Washington, Feb 13.-The navy department has sent letter to the commanding officer of the training ship Cumberland at Newport, R. l., criticising his action in allowing two apprentice seamen to indulge in a fist fight to settle dispute, which re- suited in the death of one of the con- testants.
 The accident occurred on January 14 last on board the Cumberland at the training station at Newport. Appren- tice Seaman H. A. Hartnett of Phila- dalphia, who was acting master at arms on the Cumberland, became in- volved in an argument with Seaman Apprentice B. NJ. Manning of Middle boro. N. r., and after supper boxing match to settle the dispute was ar ranged.
 Surgeons were at the ringsidn and soft regulation gloves were used. The fight went for eight rounds. when Manning landed a swift blow on Hart nett's jaw. Hartnett went down un- conscious. He failed to revive and was removed to the hospital, where he died on January IS without regain ing consciousness. An investigation which was ordered by the command ant of the training station showed that every proper precaution to pre- vent accident was taken.
 In his letter Secretary Metcalf said that while the department believed in encouraging legitimate athletic sports. he believed the commanding officer of the Cumberland made an error of judgment when he allowed two ap- prentice seamen to settle a dispute with boxing gloves
