SALT LAKE CITY, August Z, 1888.
Dear Doctor:-Before leaving for the
east | wish to express my appreciation
OF your treatment of complicated case
of the eyes. | have tried for several
years TO get far-seeing glasses, and l
mad concluded that | could get none
that would be of any benefit to me. But
after l saw the wonderful benefit of
your system, take pleasure in saying
that the glasses furnished by you have
restored my vision both fer reading ar
far-seeing TO the same condition as in
my boyhood. l resolved to have you
furnish me glasses after 1 witnessed
your system TO beautiful young lady
of sixteen years, from Summit County,
afflicted with complicated condition
of the eyesight. She told me she had
never been able to distinguish ones
face at a distance of six feet. With
DR.. Prentice's glasses she could see as
well as any one. AS she looked up and
down the street, and for the first time
in her life saw the distant mountain
tops, she was greatly delighted, and
inquired with childish simplicity, "Do
other people see this way?" 1t seemed
that new world was opened to her
view, as novel and beautiful as "Eden's
rosy bowers;" appeared to our first
parents.
Yours truls,
A. B. CARLTON,
Chairman Utah Commission.

SATISFIED AT LAST.

George A. Smith, of Salt Lake City
is a young man well and favorably
known throughout Utah. He has been
troubled with a bad case OF cross eyes
all his life. Several years ago he had
an operation performed by an ooulist,
but it was not successful and did no
good, consequently his faith was very
much shaken about its ever being made
straight. But at the Continental Hotel
on Monday of this week, DR.. Prentice
made it straight in less than half g
minute. Mr.. Smith is delighted with
The result and his many friends
astonished. Mr.. Smith said it caused
him practically no pain.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-09-05

l haye been tortured with piles for
many, many years, and have tried a
great number of so-called cures without
any benefit. About two months ago
DR.. Prentice treated me just once, and
has effected perfect cure and feel
confident from the condition 1 am now
in they will never return.

For twenty years 1 have suffered
very much with piles, have often
been obliged to quit work and had be-
come discouraged of eyer being cured.
Two months ago DR.. Prentice gave me
one treatment and l consider myself en-
tirely cured. My health is better than
it has been for years.

THE HARANGUE CHECKED.

Presiding Officer, Mr.. lngalIs-The
Chair takes this occasion to remark
that tits undoubtedly in order to refer
to the acts of the other House of Con.
gress, generally it is violation OF priv
| ilege to refer to the individual character
or to the acts or conduct of a member
OF that body. 1t interferes with the al D.
sol1te independence which ought to ex-
ist between the the Two houses and the
Chair thinks that perhaps this debate
has already gone further than it should
have gone. The general parliamentary
law on this SUBJECTS so well defined that
the Chair thinks it unnecessary to al
Jude to it further.
Mr.. Teller will not address myself
any further to any member of Congress
but to person acting in another capac-
ity as member of the National Demo
cratic Committee. Rumor says that
this bill was prepared for the purpose
of affecting the election on the Pacific
slope. l do not care whether this legis-
lation gets on the statute book, because
the Chairman of the Democratic Com
mittee, or member of it, is anxious to
make political capital. l am for the
legislation and, therefore, l welcome
it.
At the close of Teller's SPEECH, the
Chinese bill went over.
After an executive session the Senate
adjourned.

sense and under no. circumstances
usd the right to speak for american
LABOR. as the Senator from South Car
china (Buuer) had said yesterday with
great trankness, the bill was Political
movement. He did not find il stated
IN the Record that the bill had been
Drawn IN the Office of the Solicitor
General, but he heard it so stated out
side and that 1t was sent down from the
Executive Department 20 be passed. If
he were TO look over the H1use to select
man who most ftlv represents
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OF TOLL,
he would hardly select the man who
had succeeded in getting that bill
through the House. He had only sue
ceeded because he represented the
President more than any other
man in the Democratic party. It
was said of him (Scott) that he had
given ten times as much money to the
Democratic campaign fund rs the Pres
ldent had given. He was able to do so,
as he was said to have made millions
out OF the laborlng men of the country.
In this connection Mr.. Teller sent to
the clerks desk and had read Scott's
autobiography.

"Marriage by the Glove

A marriage by proxy, or, asit is called,
"marriage by the glove" is prevalent in
Holland, and is brought about by the
fact that many of the eligible young men,
after having finished their education,
depart for Dutch India. A friend Sc
lects willing young lady, generally one
with a substantial dot and otherwise
conforming closely to the spcc;fica ions
of the letter. A photograph oil the
favored one is enclosed i'll the return
epistIe. After the lapse of few months
a soiled left hand glove, with power OF
attorney, is received from the faraway
bachelor. The friend in Holland mar
ries the selected bride in precisely the
same manner as if he were the actuai
Groom, and the young wife departs in
the next India mail steamer to bring
ha piness to the lonely one IN the TAR
Fast. a marriage of this description IS
as binding as if the bridegroom, were
uresent and is never repudiat d: If
either party of the glove m 'rriage should
die before meeting in India. the survivor
would share the property of the deceased
iI accordance with the law.-Boston

A Monster Bell in Japan.

If were good Buddhist, says corr
respondent of the Globe-Democrat, i
would say prayer or two to the Chioin
bell, the largest bell in Japan, but mon
,ter breathing sweet music that thrills (;
,ne from head to foot, and ringing so-
seldom that the dates are kept in mind
carefully, lest one miss the great treat.
The bell hangs in shady little place at
the top of stone staircase by itself, and
Is struck from the outside by swinging
beam that gives the soft reverberations,
that do not jar on the ear no matter how
powerful they are. When the huges
beam is unclaimed and swung it is gem
orally at the time of the tive o'clock
mass in the morning, and heavy. sleepers
have heen unconscious of the musical
booming and missed it all. Others are;
wakened by the strange vibration and
the soft music ringing and pulsating on
the air, and in the half consciousness OF
waking it seems like part OF some
beautiful dream. 1t is the greatest pity
that with such a magnificent bell tLe=
temple does not see fit to ring it oftener.
The Chioin is rich temple, and its
altar one of the most gorgeous IN Kioto,
mass of carved and gilded ornaments
surrounding a massive gilded shrine.
Occasional worshipors come and kneel OF
the mats and mutter their prayers, but
most often one finds the only occupant
of the space before the altar is lone old
priest industriously hammeriBg away at
modern drum shaped like a huge round
sleigh bell. From five o'clock IN the.
morning until the temple closes at four
in the afternoon the ttunk, MunE keeps
up. A nice old woman, who must be
professional mender, from the incessant
patching and darning of blue cotton
garments that she keeps up, takes care OF
The shoes while one roams the temple
stocking-footed, but she does not o.ler
to mend the foreign stockings worn out
on matted and polished wood floors.

Luck and Chance.

A term used not long since in con-
niection with an accident strikes line OF
reasoning worth following up. The.
term used was 'the laws of chance were
against them" Webster says chance is
sthe absence of any defined or recog-
nized cause" or IAN event which hap
pens without any assigned cause" Clark
hit the mark truly when he wrote: ut
is strictly and philosoph!cally true IN
nature and reason that there Is no such
thing as chance or accident; it being
evident that these words do not signify
anything really existing, anything that
is truly an agent or the cause of an
event, but they signify merely mems
ignorance of the real and immediate
cause. It seems as if the laws OF
chance" would be pretty good field for
study, and that some pretty solid laws
are in existence somewhere on natures
statute book. Another tenn goes with
"chauce." It is called 'luck." Some
times they 60 hand in hand as "ucky
chance. Luck is disposed of in Web.
ster's as 'sthat which happens to per-
son: an event, good or ill, affecting q
mans happiness or interests, and which
,s deemed casual: o course or series OF
such events regarded as occurring by
chance" Now, then, luck is what
chance does, and we must stake the
chances" if we wish knowledge of this
matter. To acknowledge that there are
claws of chance" admits that cause
precedes each event, aud gives some
ground to work upon. If a man would
think twice before he used the words
.chance" and "luck," he would not use
them Mt all, but reason out, as far as his
knowledge would permit, the cause OF
each event he calls luck.-Bos'on Gasette.

Aboriginal Wood Workers.

At the Smithsonian Institution at
Washington ore collected as many OF the
aboriginal tools of America as the officers
have been able to gather. "Of course"
said H. F. Mcleod, one of the attaches
of the institution who is now on his way
to Puget Sound, to Chicago Ntsos in
terviewer, aboriginal carpentry was the
chief trade of our predecessors on this
continent. The Indians and the mound
builders had very good idea of wood
working. You will see even now some
very pretty joining done by the Sioux
Indians. Their tent-poles make it
which many white carpenter would not,
like to try to better. *. -
the Aztecs, who had arrived at quite a..
high stage of art, and whose tools, al
though they knew nothing of steel, arc
really excellent. We have few of their
tools at the Smithsonian, but the best
collection is, of course, in the city OF
Mexico. The material used was almost
wholly glass, especially for the finer parts
of their woodcutting. To chop trees
they used flint axes and for the rough
hewing out of the logs the same, but
when It came to the accurate fitting in Of
the hewn timber they handled glass
knives, chisels and saws very deftly and
with beautiful results. There is ceaba-
wood post in Washington with hero
glyphics and faces cut upon it all with
glass. You can see bits of the aborigi-
nal chisel still sticking in corner of the
work where it broke off three centuries
ago under the hand of the workman.
The Aztecs knew how to make very
good and manageable glass, and their
best cutting blades. swords, daggers, and
spears, saws chisels, and, axes were
made of it. When the edge dulled they
broke it from the eud instead of sharp
sning it, and got new cutting line.
"l on can see great deal of aborigi-
nal carpentry still in use among the Mo-
qui Indians of the United States. Of
course they use our tools now, but they
follow their old patterns. They know
how to make ladders and they swing
their doors on hinges from the top, and
they know how to mortise timbers-
knew how long before Columbus landed
in America. Of course they use our
tools differently from our way. The
chisel they push rather than hammer,
and they WORK the board up aud down
on fixed saw rather than the saw on the
board, but withal they get very credita--ss
BILE results. The frame work in the:
pueblos is quite as honest as anything you
have in Chicago" ~
