He Has q Rabbit Eye.

that will command the attention of men
of science as we'll as the medical fra.
ternity OF the world. Not long ago q
fireman was brought to the institution
to receive treatment for an eye which
had been wounded by a splinter. The
little piece Of wood had entered the
corner of the right eye and tor out the
inner canthus, 50 that the patient al
ways bore the appearance of looking at
his nose with the injured eye. DR..
Smith, OF the hospital staff, cut the
contraction and dessedted is out. leav.
ing the space of the mucous membrane
of the eve, about the size of a nickel,
bare. He then took a piece of Mucous
membrane from the eye OF a rabbit
and placed it where the dissection had
occurred. The wound healed and the
membrane from the eye Of the rabbit
grew to muscles where it was placed.
The man now has full control of his eye
and perfect sight.

THE BROWN IMPEACHMENT
A Question Of Jurisdiction Raised
by Senator Wilkins.

On Saturday, the 22d inst, Judge
Nourse concluded his arraignment of
the prosecutors of Auditor Brown, and
Immediately thereafter the anticipated
question of jurisdiction was raised.
Senator Wilkins submitted an order
that the question whether an officer
can be impeached for actions during a
former term be determined before tes-
timony is introduced. Mr.. Lehman
asked leave to present arguments
against the adoption of the proposed
order. He would ask can the court,
by a mere majority vote, decide the
question, which a only be decided
under the two-thirds ruler He asked
that there be a full and fair trial of all
the questions at ssue. Manager
Weaver thought that the question
raised was one that would better be
decided at once, so that if the auditor
cannot be tried for what was done last
term, testimony need not be intro
duced. Senator Knight thought the
question of jurisdiction would
better be now decided. He did
not agree with the managers that a
majority vote of the senate could de-
eide a jurisdictional question. He
understood that after the decision of
this question another order would be
offered to consider whether any, and if
so, which Of the articles were frivolous
and not requiring trial. Senator Catch
raised the question whether the order
should not be considered in secret
session. The chair held the rule was
not applicable. Mr.. Bills. in behalf of
the respondent, entered a solemn pro-
test against the court taking any action
calculated to prevent a full investiga-
ton Of the case. He demanded a trial
and an opportunity to contradict ex-
parte testimony dished up ard sent
over the country. After further dis
cussion the managers asked time till
Monday to look up authorities and
prepare arguments. On motion OF
Senator Donnon the court adjourned
till Monday at 2 p. IN. Should the
court decide not to take eognizance OF
the alleged offenses of Browns, first
term. the entire case may as wei be
dismissed. TbArc Is nothing serious

term.

and superb, with a stately manner, a
magnificent figure and a grand cast of

always superbly dressed and wears
many fine jewels, and that night her
white satin gown was cut in u wide,
deep point in the front, where a bunch
of violets was held by large diamond
PM, and diamonds glittered all ove
the corsage front. A pale violet plume
in her hair was caught by more dia-
monds, and as she played with a tritie
of a gilded fan she was a picture for
all to study and admire. This superb
COUNTIES is an American by birth-form-
erly a Miss Delmold of New York-and
her case is almost unique in the record
of international matches, where an
American girl, without a great fortune
or dowry, married a titled foreigner.

Belgian legation here, and as the min
lister, during all OF his stay has been I'M
married, the countess Is the lady OF
that legation.

The organization was effected at an
informal meeting. where the subject
was fully discussed. At q second meet

designate operators from among mem

desire threshing done at tho same time
the foreman determines by lot who
shall be first and second.
During its ten years of existence the
company has grown and threshed TO-
l25 bushels OF wheat, 2,140 bushels Of
clover seed, and considerable oats and
rye. Work is only done for members.
The profits, at the very low rates given
above, have been 81, 667. 50, and at the

1t may be thought difficult to man
age such an organization for want Of
unanimity among neighbors, but in
this company no disagreement has

wherever there Is a man who "a sp.

cooperation is possible. All pursuits
of life have cooperative organizations,
and no valid reason exists why agri-
