Thomas Oliver Colt was his name He was related to the family of gun- makers of that name, and was bom in Connecticut. At the age of 15, while playing ball, he was struck in the face by a ball, his cheek bones being fraotured and his nose broken. Erysipelas followed and the nose was lost, as was a portion of his face. He was brought to Bellevuo Hospital by his parents, the head of the surgical division of that institution being Professor Thomas C. Sabine, who heard the story and said he would make the boy a nose. The result was tho first Sabine operation as it is now known. Colt's left hand was placed on his face and the third finger relieved of the nail and placed on the bridge of the nose. It took two months to grow there, while it was held in po sition by a plaster cast, and thon it was cut from the hand at the second oint. Thirty-two operation and two yours in the hospital gave a new fncs to Colt. In 18 he married Miss Plate, of Urange, rs. J. she said she re- ciprocuted his affection because of his mind. In November, 189(1, ho shot her in New Jersey, and thon shot himself.' Both lived, and he was tried for murder.' He was con victed and sentenced to 15 years in the penitentiary. After serving two years he was pardoned. He took every means of conceal ing his features whon in public. In August he was admitted to Bellevuo Hospital, suffering from Bright'e disease. He was fearful that other patients would see his face, eo he kept it muffled and became known to the other patients as the "Man With the Iron Mask." Cured a Bad Sore Throat. Slate of Oregon, I J. T.
