There have been 81 major
operations performed at the Ma
rine Hospital on citizens of Key
West since January 10, 1896. A
total of 103 patients have been
admitted for surgical work, was
the statement made by Surgeon
E. H. Carnes, in charge of the
hospital, to The Citizen.
This statement was made dur
ing the course OF a talk with DR..
Carnes relative to the agreement
which became effective in Janu-
airy 1886, and approved by the
surgeon general, and the secre-
tary of the treasury, whereby
citizens OF Key West who are UNI
able to pay for disqualification
and surgical fees are admitted
when in need of major surgical
operations.
One OF the amazing sides to
tbs series o. 81 major operations,
some of them of the most dan
gerous character. is that not one
OF them resulted in death, or as
the language of the surgical pro-
fession has it, there was no opera
tive mortality.

MORNING

Frederic Robert johnson Saw
yer. IS, died last night after a
brief illness. Mr.. Sawyer was
sitting with a group of friends on
a bench at the corner of Fleming
and Margaret streets chatting.
Gradually his companions left
him and he was seated there
alone. until friends in the vicinity
saw the lone figure there and de-
cided that he was possibly i'll, and
decided to give him any assist
ance which might be needed.
When they approached the
bench on which Mr.. Sawyer was
seated his attitude indicated that
he was very i'll and just as Police
Officer Franklyn Arenberg placed
his hand on his shoulder, he knew
that life was extinct.
Funeral services will be held
$50 o'clock Monday morning
from the home of his son Ross G..
Sawyer, 523 Eaton street, who
will return tomorrow from attend
ing a meeting in Jacksonville, of

The announced purpose of the mass
meeting is to review the situation af-
fecting the subject of Federal wage

such action as the business, agricul-
tural, manufacturing and other inter-
ests may deem necessary for the fu-
ture with respect to this legislation.

ONCE UPON AUGUST 25TH

ONCE UPON AUGUST 25TH
France had another woman military
leader whose achievements were as
great as those of Jeanne Dare. in
Margaret of Anjou, who died 454 years
ago today. Margaret's fighting, how
ever, was done for Frances enemy,
England, after she became queen of
mad King Henry vi.
Margaret led forces of the House
of Lancaster in the long civil war
caused by the struggle of the House of
York for the. throne, which history
calls the War of the Roses.
She was % and sucking her first
child when her husbands incapacity
put it up to her to take his place or
lose everything. She hid her royal
husband rallied men around her and
took the field.
A kindly robber who hid her and
her child saved her from the York
lists, but she was defeated, and had to
flee. The king was made a prisoner.
In Scotland, she raised another
force, got help from France, unfurled
the banner of the Red Rose, and by
forced marches, was at the gates of
York with 10000 men before the White
Rose commander knew she was in
England.
Queen Margaret surrounded the
Dukes castle defied him to come out.
In less than half an hour he and 1000
of his men were dead.
Gen. Margaret marched on to Lon
don to rescue her husband, won a
battle at st. Adams and drove War
wick back. Henry WIS guards de-
serted in terror, and the king and
queen were reunited.
Like Jeanne Dare, she was too far
advanced in her idea of woman's
rights to be popular even with her own
people, and her successes only stirred
up more troubles.
Yet like a wife who always wants
her husband to feel the most import
ant member of the family, she turn
ed over command of the army to him.
Edward of York, who had returned
to the attack to defeat the kings
army AS Margaret took command
again and retreated to the north, Ed
ward entered London and had himself
proclaimed king-Edward w.
Margaret came back south again
with 10000 men. Edward caused dis
affection with brides and presents of
honors to officers, then met her again
in battle. Her genius could not pre-
vail over treachery of her own men,
she lost, and fled to Scotland. !:
Same night she was captured, and
imprisoned in the Tower of London.
her husband was murdered. She
would have met the same fate, had
her uncle not been King of France
After four years she was allowed TO
return there.

the scenes work has been done by
Congressional committees and by the
Treasury. There is growing belief that
our present system of levying taxes is
overburdened with inequities and
taxes that are not justified by the
revenue produced. There is also rea-
son to believe that tobacco prices are
greatly affected by the duplicate
taxes imposed by the Federal and
state governments. Some contend
that the Federal Government collects
unusually heavy taxes on the one
hand and then attempts to aid the
farmer on the other. Therefore, if new
tax legislation comes at the next SEES
sion there will be a strong fight for
a complete overhauling of the whole
tax structure. 1t would undoubtedly
mean much to taxpayers, whether
corporations or individuals. j..
