RESHAPED AN IDIOT'S
HEAD.
Hellevne Kurireona Rt-move Parts of
Child's skull and Patch It With
Celluloid.
Prof. Wolsey, assisted by Drs.
Christain, Wilson and Nutt re-
7 shaped the skull of at idiot child
at Bellevue yesterday in the hope
that it develop intelligence. Half
a hundred medical men. who wit
nessed the f operation believe the
result sought for will be obtained.
The subject was Lee Freedman,
three years old, whose parents
live at 416 West Fifty-third
street. On April 28th the child
was brought to Bellevue by its
mother, who told the hospital doc
tors that it had n ever Jshown any
signs of intelligence. The doc
tors have been dieting the child,
preparing it for the operation.
They concluded that the brain
of the child was too large for the
skull and that parts of the skull
should be removed to ease the
brain.
Yesterday Prof. Wolsey made
an incison in the scalp at the base
of the skull and peeled the scalp
as far as the forehead, Two
pieces of the skull were then cut
out, one on the right side behind
the ear being; triangular in shape,
each side of the triangle measur
ing three inches. A smaller
piece of the skull on the left side
was removed. This measured one
and three-fourth inches along
each side of the triangle. From
each Opening the doctors removed
substances which seemed to have
pressed . against the brain, and
then proceeded to build up the
openings in the skull, using strips
of celluloid and J making; of it a
lattice work resembling the caning
used in chair Beats. When this
work was done the scalp was
sewed back in place, and the
child was removed from the
-.-.
operating table to a cot. The
doctors said last night that it
was getting along nicely.
'This is the first time celluoid
has been used in an operation of
this kind,' said the doctor. "I
have heard of cases where thin
gold was used in the building up
prpcess, but it broke at times.
The celluloid willbe more effec
tive.": YlSur. of 6th. '

When an interesting trial is
held at the mayor's court in the
city hall one lully realizes that
there is not ample room for the
crowd and it is always a "jam
ming together" of all kinds. It has
. 1 ' I i !
been decided that the city hal
be remodeled now soon.
The mayors court will be held
in the rear part of the hall but all
of the first story will be used as
the court room with the excep
tion of two offices in front one
on each side as you enter the hall.
One office will be occupied by
the mayor and the other by the
chief of police. An alley will also
be provided for the entrance of
the hall up-stairs. It is also the
intentio n of -the Board to later
provide a place for the keeping
of prisoners. Probably cells will
be placed in the basement and if
not they will be built in some
way to the building.
Arrangements have already
been made tor quarters for the
firemen, vrho receive their hall,
electric lights, water works, and
exemption from town tax from the
town.
Their main hall for the
i
reels a
d attachments will be in
the Gibson building where the
armory of the former military
company was, on, the ground floor
in the rear of Gibson s drug store.
The two rooms upstairs over the
hall will also be occupied by
them.

At the last Leglislature a law
was passed that the wills be re
corded in alphabetical order in
the Clerk's office of each county.
The new book for the purpose,
printed by a Charleston house,
was sent here and was here sev
eral cays before a serious error
was noticed in it. At the top of
every page in the book in bold
letters should be the name of the
county. In this book the word
"Cabanus"- appears where it
should be "Cabarrus." This book
is, 01 course, worthless to the
county and will be returned.

: Session. :
The State Convention of the W.
C. T. U., just brought to a close
last night, is voted the most suc
cessful of any ever held.
The attendance of delegates was
not only larger, but the interest
was greater, while the local at

Last night was the contest by
the College "Y's" participated in
by.Miss Haithcock, of Albemarle;
Miss Blair, of Guilford College;
Miss Kowe,of G. F. College, and
Miss Eagan, of High Point.
The latter, Miss Bagan, won
the prize, $5.00 worth of books.
Each of the others was also pre
sented with a book, though it was
not on the program.
Miss Ken a Worth, of Wilming
ton, read a most interesting paper
on Scientific Temperance. The
delegates then listened to an ad
dress from Prof. Crowel), of the
High Point Graded School, and a
most interesting address it was,
after, which the convention ad
journed. Greensboro Becord of

A Clever Trlcftc.
It certainly looks like it, but
there is really no v trick about it.
Anybody can try it who has Lame
Back and Weak Kidneys, Malaria
or nervous troubles. We mean he
can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This med
lcine tones up the whole system,
acts as a stimulant to Liver and
Kidneys, is a blood purifier and
nerve tonic. It cures constipation,
headache, fainting spells, sleepless
ness and melancholy. It is purely
vegetable, a mild laxative, and re
stores the system to its natural
vigor. Try E'ectric Bitters and be
convinced that they are a miracle
worker. Every bottle guaranteed.
