The Chicago Ballot-Box Frauds.

CHICAGO June S.-Renewed interest in the
election fraud cases has been developed to-day
by the confession of Charles e. Gilmore. who
was arrested for perjury on the trial of MackE
and Gallagher in the United States District
Court Gilmore's perjury consisted in an at
tempt to show that the tickets found in the
Eighteenth ward ballotbox had been printed
prior to the election. while the facts were clear
that they were printed after the election, and
substituted for ballots regularly cast. Gilmore
now makes affidavit that the scheme of perjury
was prepared by Mackin. Gilmore also CON
fessed, to day that he participated in the sub
stitution of the ballots, and declares the entire
affair was arranged by Mackin, Gallagher, and a
New York fine worker" whom he has described
to the authorities. Gilmore carried the bogus
tickets to the county clerks office, early on
Monday, Nov. "a. and there gave the envelope
to the cashier of the county clerks Office, per-
son who has never hitherto been mentioned in
connection with the crime,

Burning of the Female Department Of Lu-

Burning OF the Female OepaFChueut OA - Luz
natic Asylum.
WILLIAMSBURG, Va, June Sat IL o'clock
last night fire broke out in the right wing of the
center building of the Eastern Lunatic Asylum
here and before it could be got under control
everything was destroyed. The buildings burned
comprise the original ones Of the institution,
which were erected over 100 years ago. There
were 200 female patients in the burned building,
bat all were saved except one, Miss Smith, OF
Spottsylvania county, who was burned to death.
Another patient Mrs. Jefries, after being
brought out of the building, wandered away and
was found, this morning, drowned in a creek
near by. All the female patients were taken to
William and Mary College, where they were
temporarily cared for. The other wards con-
tanned nearly three hundred male patients.
These wards were. quickly emptied. and the un-
fortunates were turned loose, but did not wander
off, being generally tractable. When it
beyond control, aid was telegraphed for
from Richmond, and a steamer reached here
from that city at about 3 o'clock this morning
but the fire had then donc its worst. The Rich
mond firemen. however, went to work and did
good service. None of the male wards were
burned, they being located in buildings discon-
nected from those destroyed, and a strong wind
blowing from them The total loss is estimated
at from $l20.0O0 to $4,000; insurance about
$40, ,00O. The fire is believed to have resulted
from some trouble with the electric-light wires,
it was first discovered where the wires entered
the right wing of the building.

Of all modern surgical operations,
that recently performed by DR.. Cha
bret, in Paris. is perhaps the most re-
markable. He removed diseased eve
from a young girl and replaced it with
the eye of a rabbit. The transplanted
eye has accepted the situation, and
promises to be an efficient substitute
for the lost one. OF course, it may
differ in focus length from the girls
original eye. but that is a defect that
can be remedied by spectacles.
This operation is apparently destined
TO put an end to blindness among men.
Hitherto the loss of an eye has been
irreparable, but if our missing ewes
can be made good by the eyes of the
lower animals, no one need be without
pair of good, substantial eyes. The
supply of eyes which can be made use
of for this purpose is inexhaustible.
and as the cost of production is practi-
cally nothing, the cost of supplying
ones self with new eyes will be very
small.
Not only can blindness be thus rem
dered unnecessary, but persons who
have lost their original eyes can more
than supply their loss. In fact. we
can all greatly improve our powers of
vision by providing ourselves with
choice and desirable eyes. The eff
cheney of the police force would obvi-
ously be greatly increased were every
policeman to be supplied with pair of
cats eyes. He would then be enabled
to see a cashier or other criminal on
the darkest night without the aid of q
lantern, while his eyes would be at least
as valuable in the daytime as are or
binary police eyes. The ewes of hawks
and other far-seeing birds would be of
immense advantage to sailors and
other persons whose occupations make
unusually good eyesight necessary. and
Ii is probable that within the next few
years no sailor will be able to receive
an officers certificate unless he can
prove that he is supplied with the
standard marine eye-whether that

For purposes of personal adornment
the new plan of supplying girls with
beautiful eyes Is sure TO be popular.
What man could resist the pleading
gaze of girl wearing pair of setter 5
ewes or the ewes of deer ? What could
he more attractive than q girl with the
ewes of pink rabbit The eyes of a
Skye terrier would be just the thing
for girls who wear their hair banged.
and the eyes of an owl would be very
appropriate for girls who are fond OF
moonlight excursions. Of course, the
feminine fashion in eyes will change
from time to time, and settlers ewes,
which NAV DO fashionable next year,
NAV be decided to be vulgar, a
year later when peacock's eyes come
into fashion. Indeed. it will probably
be necessary for a fashionable lady TO
change her eyes with her dress. and we
shall hear diSnaraDinO remarks mada
of this or that girl 10 the effect that she
is wearing the same old eyes that she
wore at Mr.. Smiths party last winter.
Long ago it was discovered that
teeth. hair and skin could be trans
planted. Now that We have learned
that we can wear the eyes of animals,
there is reason to believe that We can
supply ourselves from the same source
with other organs. What an unspeak-
