New York, March 1S.-Grover Cleve-
land who is quietly celebrating his
birthday at Lakewood, n. J., today,
took long walk yesterday and seems
to be in excellent spirits.
This morning Mrs Cleveland and the
children came over from Princeton to

the children brought some present, AMI

congratulatory telegram.

Mr.. Cleveland started out in the

went to his cottage, the White House.

cottage and for a time appeared lost in
contemplation. From the White HousG
Mr.. Cleveland took a long walk AROUND
the lake, finally returning to his hotel.

HEROIC MEASURES.
Resorted to by Kentucky Legislature
to Pass q Bill

Frankfort, KY, March 1S.-With
the passing of the anti-pooI room
law which provides a heavy penalty
for operating a pool room except as
bookmaking on the race courses dur
ing the race meetings. the 1908 ses-
sion of the Kentucky legislature
adjourned early today. Only by the
most heroic methods were the friends
of the bill able to bring it out to be
voted on. A precedent of years was
oVerthrown when an unfavorable
committee on rules was ousted from
control of the floor. The bill was
passed by a vote of So to 4.
A bill for the appropriation of half
a million dollars for the completion
of the state capital was passed by a
vote of 81 to "a. Several bills carry
ing large appropriations for state in
situations were also passed.

He was carried in a litter to the mill

noon employed Roentgen rays to locate
the bullet.
The word ''fire'' was given each time
by General Kireieff, the Russian auth

change General Fock's coat was per-
forated. At the third exchange Gen.
Smirnoff accidentally fired premature
declined to shoot at a defenseless op-
ponent and the fourth and final shots
were then exchanged.
This duel will be followed by another
between General Fock and General
Gorbatoffsky, the commander of the
western front at Port Arthur, who was
severely criticized by General Fock dur
ing the court martial proceedings. Gen
Gorbatoffsky sent seconds some time
ago to General Fock, but he failed to
secure permission to fight a duel
General Smirnoff was acting COM
mandant of the Port Arthur fortress
during the siege and at the time of it's
surrender to the Japanese. After his
return to Russia he prepared secret
report of the defense of Port Arthur,
which was the basis of the indictments
on which Lieutenant General Stossel,
Lieutenant General Fock and Major
General Kiss were tried for their lives,
before the supreme court martial Gen:
Stosse1 was accused of cowardice and
incapacity and General FOck accord
ing TO the Indictment displayed
thorough incapacity land want of judg-
ment.
The outcome of the trial was the
sentencing to death of General Stoes-
sci which finding was later commuted
to ten years imprisonment, while Gen.
Fock was ordered to be reprimanded
for disciplinary offense.
General Smirnoff was also on trial
before the court martial charged with
having failed to remove General Fock
from his command, although he secured
an agreement between Generals Stoes-
sci and Fock to surrender the fortress.
He was acquitted of this charge.

Good News for Wives.

Prof. Alfred Clum in the Cleveland
Medical Journal says it has now been
definitely decided that it is illegal to
operate on any patient without his or
her consent, even if the patient be a
married woman whose husband wants
the operation performed. He quotes the
following case:
"a woman, the subject of epilepsy.
consented to some minor opera tion on
the pelvic organs, which took place In
the hospital She left the hospital. say
ing that she would consent TO no further
oDeration. She was induced to return.
and a major operation was performed
There was some evidence that
the anesthetic for the operation was adj
ministered to the patient when she was
asleep. The surgeon testified that her
husband had given his consent to the
second operation. The court held that
whether such consent was obtained or
not was U1important, because the wife's
consent was necessary. A verdict was
given for the plaintiff with exemplary
DANA ges-$3000. On appeal the verdict
was upheld, and the court regarded the
operation as a mutilation which the sur
geon had no right whatever to perform.
This case is the precedent in the Amer
lean courts that the consent of the hus-
band is no legal substitute for the con-
sent of his wife when she is the subject
of operation"
