Hendricks Not sarprIsed.

Indianapolis, June ll-Thomas A
Hendricks, in an interview concerning
Tllden's letter of declination, said the
news was not a surprise to him, for when
he visited Tilden III August last that
gentleman very firmly announced his
intention to remain permanently out OF
politics. On succeeding visit IN April
last the same determination had been
expressed. Rend -icks thought there was
little doubt but that the old ticket would
have been unanimously rensmipated at
the Chicago convention if it had not
been for the declaration OF to-day. He
said that the demand for it among the
democracy was almost universal, and
greater than any movement of the klnd
he had ever seen in politics. Personally
he felt no great disappointment; did moi
want the office of vice.president eight
years ago, and did not want it now. II
the old ticket had remained in the fielC
he should have considered an election tc
that place great honor conferred by
the people as rebuke to what they con
slider great wrong. 1t would have
prevented the seating of Hayes in 1877
from becoming a precedent for futur,
elections. Hendricks added. that onl,
as an expression of the indignation o
the people would he have regarded al
election to the vice-presidency as al
honor to be sought

The INDEPENDENTS.

New York, special telegram. June
10-George William Curtis, Carl Schurz,
George Haven Putnam, r. r. Bowker
ex-Gov. D. II. Chamberlain and other
independent republicans having united
in preparing call for meeting on
Tuesday next, to consider what course
shall be taken with reference to the re
publican nomination. Mr. Putnam to-
day outlined the programme Of the meet.
ing as follows:
First-To make strong protest
against the action of the republican
national convention III the nomination
of Blaine.
Second-To formulate suggestions to
the democratic national convention Will
reference to certain reforms which we
consider more important than the exis.
tence of any party.
Third-To.suggest that the democrat
ic national convention shall not only
put itself on record as favoring these
reforms, but shall practically supper
them by the nomination OF some maj
whose name shall stand for such reform
measures.
"The reforms upon which all indepen.
dents are practically agreed" said Mr.
Putnam, 'are, first. civil service reform
extending into every department OF th,
government; second, revenue reform t
the extent at least OF the removal of th
burdens of war taxations; third, an hon
est currency, good the world over, ant
not merely the local currency Of Colora
do or illinois,"
Concerning the names to be presente,
to the democrats, Mr.. Putnam said:
"In the order of their availability
they are Cleveland, Carlisle, Bayard, on,
Morrison. Cleveland aud Carlisl,
would be an ideal ticket, both as
matter OF reform and as matter of prat
tical polltics-that is, to receive supper
where it is needed. Suppose the demo
Gratis demand Tilden. In that even
they will throw away their opportunit
les SO for as the Independents are cor
cerned.'

Can't Swallow Blaine.

A reporter of the World called on DR. |
Forrest, who has Just withdrawn from
the Republican electoral ticket in New
York. The doctor resides in hand
some house, No. Charlton street. His
rooms are elegantly furnished and his
practice as a physician is very large and
lucrative, The doctor is man of splen-
did physique He is fully six feet high,
and his form is well prOportioned to his
size. His flowing black beard and mus
tache partly hide his pleasant, genial
face. Though always active in the cOun-
ellis of his party, DR.. Forrest was never
particularly identified with ward poll
tics, and his name was put on the Re-
publican electoral ticket to give it an
air of responsibility. In answer to the
reporters inquiry, the doctor freely adj
mitted that he had sent his letter of
resignation to the chairman of the Re-
publican state committee.
"What were your reasons, DOCTOR"
asked the reporter, "for declining to
serve as an elector?"
"There is only zone reason, and | have
so stated it in my letter. 1t is because.I
can not conscientiously support Mr..
Blaine"
"Will you state why you can not sup

The case of the State VS.. l.. w. Child

this county, as the case has caused
considerable interest, owing to the party
accused being somewhat influential and
having friends, and the change Of the

wife ana son of the deceased, they
claiming that they were intimidated

appreciate these blessings. Here is an
article which works to perfection and
which is harmless; for the sleep which it
affords the infant is perfectly natural,and

Alarming Prevalence of the Disease nc

An article in The Times by DIR. Bru-

causes of defective vision among the
adults and children of tho present dav.
Dr. carter says that few things are more
remarkable than the imperfection of

knowledge about vision is that tho eyo-
luton OF the eye has been left to be the

cline in acuteness by sheer neglect; and
the conditions of his life have also pro-
douoed two kinds OF deformity ofthe eve
Dall-the short-sighted eye and the nat
or hypermetropic eye, each of which
constitutes serious deterioration in the
organs of the visual sense. Having eN-
planned the nature and causes of hyper
metropia, myopia, and astigmatism, DIR.
Carter mentions that DR.. Cohn, of Bres-
lau, in the years 1864 and 1865 examined
the eyes of 10000 scholars and found
1850 OF them with eyes of defective
shape. OF these, 1912 were myopic, l3g
were flat. eyed, y were the subjects OF
astigmatism, and 800 were suffering
from the results of previous disease. Dr.
Conn further found that faulty shape
OF the eyeballs, especially in the direc.
ton OF myopia, increased steadily, both
IN numerical prevalence and in degree
as tchool life was prolonged; being least
frequent and least pronounced In tn,
elementary schools, more frequent ant

he forgets her in few months and
