PAINLESS PLASTIC SURGERY REMOVES WRINKLES AND ALL KINDS OF SKIN AND FACIAL BLEMISHES. If you have a birth-mark on your face or body, John H. Woodbury can take, it all off no question about that, for you can see with your two eyes it's gone and he can do it so skillfully that in a few weeks you'll be unable to find the spot where it was.

No faith is necessary to get your nose straightened, for it is accomplished while you look right at the operation. "9 THE NECKLESS FACE CHART. OPERATIONS: No. 1 removes -wrinkles from the forehead. No.

2 removes "crow's" feet and wrinkles from beneath the eyes, or around the nose. No. 3 contracts the skin back of an ex tended ear and causes It to lie close to the head. No. 4 is the inner operation on the nose for the cure of catarrh.

No. 5 reduces the bagginess of the double chin. No. 6 reduces nostril partition, gives proper shape and changes character of expression. No.

7 removes the hump on the nose. No. 8 takes the "slack" out of the drooping eyelids and brightens up the countenance. No. 9 straightens a crooked or ill-shaped nosewall.

No. 10 produces a dimple in the cheek. PAINLESS PLASTIC SURGICAL OPERATIONS that make people ten to twenty years younger-looking; also operations for the correction of projecting or ill-shaped ears, noses, and all Facial Deformities. SUPERFLUOUS HAIR is removed with the absolute assurance that it will not return. MOLES, WARTS, RED are quickly removed, without pain or leaving any disfigurement.

FRECKLES, PIMPLES, BLACKHEADS, and all discolorations are made to disappear in a remarkably short time and at little expense. ECZEMA, SYCOSIS, PSORIASIS, and all diseases of the Skin, are successfully cured by methods tested in thousands of cases. Special attention is given to the care of the complexion, the modern treatment of WRINKLES and thin, fat, or flabby faces. To do these things properly requires great skill and experience. The doctors of the John H.

Woodbury Dermatologi-cal Institute have to pass a most rigid examination before they are permitted to practice. Then the instruments used are legion. Many people think blemishes of the skin have to be cut tor burned off or covered up and that they will soon re turn, but this is not at all so. and it only takes John H. Woodbury a very short time to prove his skill in removing them without pain and permanently.

We also treat all diseases of the hair and scalp, eruptions of the scalp, dandruff, loss of hair, etc. Persons having any Imperfection or disease on, in or or under the skin, any irregularity of the nose, ears or mouth, should call at the John H. Woodbury Dermatological Institute, 1218 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. Consultation is free. If you can not call, send a stamp for a 132-page book, illustrated, on skin, scalp, nervous and blood diseases, the prope'r scientific treatment of the complexion, hair and skin.

Much speculation was Indulged in yesterday among the various departments in the City Hall concerning the finding of a human hand in a coal bin under the western corridor.

Recently the commission decided to try pea coal, instead of egg coal, and last week the work of changing the fire grates under the boilers was completed. On Thursday the first consignment of pea coal arrived. It was furnished by James Caldwell Sons, 320 North Twenty-fourth street. The coal dealers have no idea where the hand came from or how it came to be in the coal delivered by them. The hand also escaped the notice of those who loaded the coal on the wagon.

Chief Engineer "bannister, who found it, Is not surprised at that because, when found, it was so blackened and mashed out of shape, that salve for the appearance of the fingers it might easily have passed unnoticed. The hand, which was turned over to the Coroner, is so wasted and dried that but little more than skin covers the long slender bones. Several physicians who examined it yesterday were of the opinion that It once belonged to a young woman, of rather slender build. All of the coal in the big bins at City Hall has been turned over, without finding any further bones. FOOT-NOTES Women's Oxfords Seasonable and reasonable low Shoes at a lower price.

"When the Roman poet Horace sang in verse of the coy black-eyed maidens with ruby lips he was at some time impressed with such a vision of feminine loveliness as that at Ogontz yesterday morning when a bevy of girls, clad in the softest and richest white gowns, passed out of the Jurisdiction of the preceptress and teacher. Exactly twenty in number, they comprised types that have made America Justly famous for her beautiful women in the court rooms of Europe. "While these fair young graduates had not won' the admiration of any broad social yet they had gained something more-substantial and useful in the field of art and letters. And with their long-sought-for diplomas tucked under- their arms they were the lightest-hearted creatures on the face of the earth. Ogontz commencements always have a delightful charm about them.

The seminary building is perched on a hillock overlooking a portion of one of Philadelphia's most beautiful suburban districts. The country is much broken up, and with the hills, dales, streams and forestry, is exceedingly picturesque. The seminary grounds are laid out after the style of French gardens, and the stone building has wide inviting porches. Yesterday a large number of relatives and friends of the graduates and students thronged the lurches or strolled over the lawns after the exercises were over. The heavy rain storm in the morning, however, kept a great many visitors away, and the attendance was much smaller than usual.

A PRETTY JAPANESE. Possibly the most interesting person present was a little Japanese girl named Selsuya Matsui, who is one of the first-year students. She is the first of her race to attend Ogontz, and through her graceful ways and sweet disposition is a great favorite. She is not over four feet and a half high and is a pretty creature. She dresses in the picturesque costumes of her country and her hair is always adorned with a spray of spring flowers.

She comes from a village about 500 miles from Tokio, and her father is a well-known nobleman of high rank. She is an excellent student and stands very high "in her classes. Yesterday her beauty and interesting attire made her the cynosure of all eyes, but she bore this inspection with an equipoise of. a well-bred young lady. She is addressed by everybody as "Miss Matsui." The exercises were held in the main drawing room.

At one end a platform had been erected and upon this sat the two principals. Miss Frances Bennett and Miss Sylvia Eastman, and the principal emeritus. Miss Dillaye. The graduates filed in the room, two by two, and after making curtsies "silken and stately," they took their seats to the right and left on the platform while a chorus of girl students in the large hallway sang Werkerlln's "Hearts light as air." Miss Virginia Shoemaker delivered anexcel-lent salutatory. The other numbers of the program included piano harp and pi-a10 duets, vocal solos ar.d rt-citations, concluding with a very able valedictory by Miss Margaret Graham.

AU of t'-e graduates acquitted themselves with great credit, especially Miss Harriet Fan-cher Eaton, whose voice was much admired.

The Vitapathlc Doctors have had a most busy week In healing the sick at their offioe, 133 North Fifteenth Street. Perhaps never In the history of their work in this city have they made really more miraculous cures out of the same number of people treated than they have during these last few days. Their patients are getting to be of the more intelligent classes, which renders them far more amenable to cure by this most refined method of treatment. Vital Magnetism, when applied by these most powerful magnetic men, does away with disease as if by omnipotent hands. Mr.

Joseph Alpatead, of this city, a fine old German gentleman, came to the doctors suffering from a most terrible disease of the stomach and nervous system, bordering on paresis, a madhouse staring him in the faee; the very flpst treatment gave him relief, and to-day he is a well man. Such cuas as this have been of almost daily occurrence with the Vitapathic Doctors. Their cures are indeed, miraculous, healing by the laying on. of hands has been reduced to a science by these- physicians, and the most remarkable cures are the result- THE YITAPATHIC DOCTORS Engraving When style is all it should be and price as small as is consistent with good workmanship, then the popularity of our engraving department is the easier understood.

Storm at Sea. During a storm at sea a large ball of fire fell on the deck of the British bark Endora, which arrived here yesterday. Captain Dickson, in describing it, said: "We had been becalmed for a week in. the Pacific Ocean. At the end of that time a light breeze broke the monotony; then the wind suddenly shifted and began to blow a gale.

All hands were engaged in shortening sail, when the sky-became black and the lightning flashed. Suddenly a great ball of fire dropped out of the clouds and struck upon the deck, exploding with a noise like the discharge of a hundred cannon at once. Many of the crew were severely stunned and all were more or less blinded by the dazzling light, the masts, spans, yard arms and rigging were all covered with a mass of fire. As suddenly as It came, the display disappeared. An Unknown's Injuries.

As far as could be learned the man had been in Fairmount Park driving in a carriage. While returning along Belmont avenue, the horse going at a slow rate of speed, he leaned over as if asleep and fell to the roadway. When picked blood was streaming from his temple.

The Coroner's inquest yesterday in the Park suicide case gave rise to some doubt as to whether the body was that of Edward Dorian.

New York City," had been received, and the sender of the dispatch requested that "his brother Edward's body" be held until he can come on and take charge of it.
