DO THE EYES OF THE DEAD
Retain the Inst Impressions Re-
ceived In LIfc1

Inter ocean,
A Philadelphia photographer suggested tf
the authorities that the murderer OF Ella
Watson, whose body was found horribly
mutilated near Salem. N. j., recently
might be detected by the use of his art, and
asked permission TO experiment ON photo
graphing the eyes Of the lead girl with the
hope Of finding there the picture Of the last
object ON which they rested in life, which
must nave heen her murderer. This hope
was based upon a fact which has been cs
tablished by a curious investigation OF the
French police.
By French scientists 1t Is claimed that In
cases Of sudden and violent death, under Ger.
tain circumstances, the retina Of the eye re
tains nm impression Of the last object seer
at the instant when death occurred. Thii
impression has been reproduced by the cam
era, and, In one or two instances, 1t Is
claimed, has led to important results. The
face Of a suspected murderer Inns been thu.
reproduced, and a fair photograph Of hi.
features presented.
A resident OF Philadelphia, who has made
many experiments OF his kind, claims "a
ave proven that this theory Is correct by
having u man shoot n COW, standing directly
in front Of the animal at the time, so that
her eyes rested upon him. The eyes were i'm.
mediately after photographed on a small
plate, and the impression afterward enlarged
TO a solar print nearly twenty inches square,
which showed the outlines Of the man in the
act Of shooting.
II was hoped that this method might he
employed with success in discovering the
murderer Of Ella Watson, but the remains
had been buried before the plan wRs sug-
gested TO the police.
This same theory was advanced by de
~tectives In Chicago last spring when the
Wilson murder was attracting 50 much at.
%tention, but no experiments were made, and
the plan WINS also suggested as n means OF
detecting the murderer Of Fora Burn.
at Lincoln, H., but the detectives in
both cases evidently had little fnith in the
theory, for they did not seek to demon.
strate its truth or falsity even when all
others had failed.

DEAD AT THIRTY.


EJohn 4. MCannl
Just FOR the sake Of being called a good fell
low,
Just for the praise Of the ~sycophant crowd,
That smoked your cigars, quaffed your rich
wines and mellow.
You are sleeping, to-day, meath the sod in
- your shroud.
Just for the sake Of being called clever
dashing-
By human hogs living outside OF d pen,
Tn rain ON your cold bed is ceaselessly
splashing,
While you should be living-a man among
mem
Just for the sake Of being pointed at-looked
at
BY tho false, insincere, hyp0critical crew,
That grows on the follies OF weak brains
like yours-fat,
You are as dead as the dreams your boyish
soul knew.
You feigned a contempt for the eagles Of
yellow,
And scattered them broadcast, with bois-
ferrous mirth-
Just for the sake Of being called IA good fell
low
You are nothing, to-day. but a boxful of
earth

would ensconse himself In his box, turn his
back 10 the stage, and as the audience
laughed or cried he laughed and cried with
them, and their tears or cheers were always
his barometers OF the actors ability. Ihave
known him TO say that he thought the great
orator or the great actor, quafling the full
vim of applause crushed in one moment into
a golden cup and drained from the public

of your White Wine of Tar Syrup which
you sent to my address. My wife has
been troubled with a lung disease for
more than eighteen years, and was pro-

commenced taking your valuable medicine

used three bottles since and is now using
the fourth, and her health is better than
for many years. We cheerfully recon-
mend it to all afflicted with any trouble of
the throat or lungs. We now get our

WE notice that near the New
York Lumber Co.'s Mill, a ditch
is being dug to drain the water into
the river. This is exceedingly dam
gerous, for should the river rise this
may cause a crevasse that will be
dangerous to the Town. Too much
care cannot be taken to prevent
such calamity. To prevent such
a calamity. Besides we understand
the law prohibits the draining into
any navigable stream. This matte:
deserves consideration.
