Removal of Brain Tumor Leaves
Patient an Infant.
Gradually He Is Beginning the Use OF
His Faculties, and the Surgeons
Say He VIII Fully

Denver.-Eyery morning a number
of the leading surgeons of Denver
gather at the county hospital to watch
the remarkable spectacle of man SIX
ty-three years old literally being born
into the world Each day the patient
acquires the use of one or two more
Of his faculties, until he can now
move, eat recognize persons and
speak few words
The man Is Luther Dionne, who for
five years has been practically dying
from a tumor in his brain. He was
paralyzed. speechless, sigktless and
outwardly dead on December 80 last
when two surgeons operated upon his
brain.
They removed a tumor larger than
a walnut from the cortex OF the
brain. The tumor had destroyed all
the nerve fibers except those running
to the heart and lungs.
For two weeks after the operation
Luther Dionne lay as II dead. He was
fed through the nostrils. Then he
began to undergo a complete sec
ond birth into life. His fingers began
to move. The next day his toes moved.
On the third day he could lift his
arm slightly and so on. day after day,
the regeneration continued. At the
end of ten days he regained his sight.
but was like a baby, and knew no one.
When two weeks had passed he spoke
a word or so. repeating after the
nurse food" or doctor or nurse.
A few days ago the aged man was
so far recovered that he could sit up
in bed. feed himself. distinguish one
nurse from another and speak quite a
Few of the simpler words that be had
heard used by the people in his'ward.
One of the surgeons says that Di-
onne is well on the road to complete
recovery. and that he is regaining his
normal faculties as fast as new nerve
fibers grow through his brain. Mem
DRY has not yet returned. but in time
he will be able to take up his life
where 1t left of when he lost con-
seriousness five years ago. Other Den
yer surgeons say that the operation Is
one of the most remarkable ever per
formed in the United States
Little is known of Luther Dionne ex-
cept that he was once a prosperous
real estate man. His life virtually
ended with the growth of the tumor.

VARIED ORNAMENTS FOR HATS
Woman Who Seeks Something New
Has But to Make the Round
Of the Various Shops.

II is entirely due to the hat orna-
ment that the chapeau can be put in
the class of the irresistible. So varied
and clever are the little decorations
that they demand a special descrip-
ton in this big fashion story.
One charming ring. through which
loops of nl1ire ribbon are run at the
side of a straw turban, is OF circles OF
wooden beads in the Bulgarian col
ors.
On hat by Jeanne Lanvin fiat
rose of two shades of yellow wool is
surrounded by a disk of brown and
green silk leaves. folded from picot
ribbon and tinted with water-colors.
A high semi-circle of pleated velvet
ribbon is made of three rows. held at
the lower edge by a fiat folded bow.
This ornament. in turn, holds in
place a cluster Of soft coz feathers.
Peacock feathers form two rows
around an iridescent blue and green
jewel
A fantasia of pheasant's wings is
caught down on brim by butterfly
of silk with jewels and embroidered
coinspots.
Very simple is a ring of knotted
MORE ribbon in two colors, orange
and brown, surrounding a yellow rose
made of swirled mousseline.
Scarabs in turquoise and lava are
being used to form centers of feather
cabOchons.
The flight" of little tailored bows
is still seen up the side of high
brims
Ribbon pompons are wired and top
covered stems. These are made of
overlapped loops around each other.
Question marks, so prominent in
coz and other feather quills, are being
duplicated in stiffened grasses and
ribbon-covered wires.
Picot ribbon, especially in the en-
broidered Bulgarian styles, will be
used for tailored bands around the
crowns.
Chintz and cretonne flowers are be-
ing cut out and laid in fiat borders
around wide brims of garden hats be-
fore the covering Of yellow chiffon is
applied.
The butterfly of lace. net and bead
ed gauze has been added to flower
trimmed hats.

EARL As GOVERNOR
Believed that Duke of C0nnaught
Win Not Return.
Peer Suggested as Successor as Cover
nor General Has Had Noteworthy
Career and Is Well Qualified
Climate Affects Duchess.

L0nd0n.-The duke of CoHnaugtt,
accompanied by his wife and daughter,
left Canada recently for England, and
il is generally understood here that he
will not return TO Ottawa. though as
yet there has been no official an
nOuncement TO that effect. The duke
is known to have a strong and sincere
liking for Canada, and doubtless would
be pleased TO remain there another
two years But the climate apparently
has never agreed with the duchess OF
COnnaught and, in view of this fact,
it is believed certain that the duke
has now practically ended his tenure
of office as governor general of the
dominion
The question as to who VIII be
named to succeed the duke of Con
naught at Ottawa has become sub
ject of lively speculation here. The
names of half a dozen prominent per
sons have been mentioned, among
them at least two close connections of
the royal family. But the best authori-
ties seem to agree that the young earl
of Beauchamp has the inside track and
is most likely to win the race. He has
the hacking of the cabinet, which
should count 80 points in his favor.
Lord Beauchamp is at present first
commissioner of works. position in
volving mainly the care of all nattona
buildings and royal palaces. and the
holder of which is also a cabinet min
lister. For a man of his years-he has
just passed forty-his career has beer
one of rather unusual distinction. Al
the age of twenty-four he was mayor
of the city of Worcester, and before he
had reached his twenty-eighth birth
day'he was governor of New South
Wales. one of the most desirable Offices
of its kind in the gift of the crown.
AS governor of New South Wales he
is said to have displayed executive
ability, of high order.
In conclusion. 1t may be said that
Lord Beauchamp is Of a very pious
turn of mind. He has always taker

HOBOES FEAST FROM GRAVE
Roast Ducks, Pigs, Wines and Deli

vide Splendid Banquet

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the funeral
cortege of Yung Chong, a wealthy
Chinaman of this city. had passed out
of the cemetery gates where Chong
had been buried. there was wild
scramble of hobos of all descriptions
They made rush for the grave Of
the Chinaman, where a great feast
awaited them. On the casket and on
the grave were left roast ducks and
pigs, Chinese wines and nuts and 9TH
er delicacies Ito help Chong across

When the crowd of twenty-five hun
cry hoboes finished there was little
left for Ehong. From many carriages
on the way to the cemetery futtered
scraps of colored paper bearing pray
ers.
The Chinese believe the devils who
pursue the spirit of the dead have to
stop and read all the prayers. and the
mourners of Chong believe that they
have scattered enough to keep the
devils engaged until he was safely
buried.
For ten years Chong has either been
president or treasurer of the On Leong
Tong, and his word was law In that
society He was one Of the richest

Smart Neck Bows.

Smart bows to wear with wash
blouses are made of four short,
straight, lined pieces of ribbon. so
sharply pointed that when caught by
the tight knot at the center. they look
like the petals of chrysanthemum.
These bows are of gros-grain ribbon
in black or a color. When in color
they are slipped through horn rings
of the same shade; one ring is placed
at each end of the knot, and these
rings are caught together in the mid
die on the under side of the ribbon
knot to form a fastening clasp or
buckle.

BANSHEE PERIL OF OIL SHIP
Steamer SchuylkiII Lands at New
York From Yokohama With a
Weird Yarn.

New York.-The Standard Oil COM
pany's tank ship Schuylkill. which ar
rived from Yokohama recently, not
only narrowly escaped laundering in a
typhoon in the China sea, in which
one of the Chinese crew was lost over
board. but also was threatened with
mutiny because the remainder of the
men persisted in thinking they were
pushed by the dreaded "banshee" Of
that religion. A weird whistle. that
seemed to pursue the ship, added to
their fears. Joss sticks were burned
and prayer papers thrown overheard
in vain.
Finally, In the hope of propitiating
the spirit, they seized upon a crow
dog belonging to the first mate and
threw it over the side. The whistling
ceased, but when First Mate Fitzgib-
bons heard the fate Of his dog there
was more trouble. He found the
Cinnamon praying before an idol in
the forecastle. Throwing the idol
through portfolio, he pummeled the
superstition out of his crew and there
was no further talk of Chinese ban
shoes.
The strange whistling was made by
the famous whistling fish of the China
sea, according to Fitzgibbons. and the
feast on dog propitiated them.

stones, then he jumped away off to
one side as far as he could leap out
into pasture where there was
a flock of sheep. He ran as
fast as he could 70 the sheep.
OF course they ran away, but
