Preparing for an Unusual Surgical
Operation on Young Man.

The surgeons of the Newark City
Hospital are preparing William Bray.
II years old, for an unusual opera
ton, which will be performed, the
attempt to graft nose on Bray, who
was born without one. The surgeons
hope to graft the little finger of
Bray's left hand to his face.
Mr.. Bray has been under treat
ment for some time by DR.. Carlyle E.
Sutton. The physician decided to
finish the operation on Mr.. Bray at
the hospital and the patient was sent
there on Sept 10.
The operation, as far as the sur
geons have planned it, contemplates
grating the tip of the finger to the
forehead, the knuckle to appear a.
the end of the nose. The hand will
first be bandaged to the face, with
the finger still sustaining circulation
from the arteries of the hand. After
the flesh of the finger and flesh of
the nasal base have sufficiently weld

Ills Position Unchanged.
Former Governor Jos. NJ. Brown

He takes the position that the
question of the sale Of intoxicating
