The Use of spactacles.

A vast amount of popular misapprehen-
sion and prejudice exists as to the use of
spectaeles. Many persons who need them
object to wearing them for various rea-
sons Some fear that it will lead their
friends to suspect that they are getting
old. Others think it will cause them to
be suspected of wishing TO appear learned
or cultured. Some persons do not want
to begin to wear them lest, having ac-
quired the habit, they may not be able to
leave them off or to see well without
them. Others, again, object to glasses
only on account of their Inconvenience.
have personally met with many of all
these classes of persons, but have fire.
quently heard Of another class that Ihave
never met with, namely, those who do not
need glasses. but who wear them Just for
effect and to attract attention. Now, the
simple truth is that there are Just two
good reasons for wearing spectacles, and
only two. One is that we may see better,
the other is that our eyes may be relieved
of strain. Often both these reasons are
combined in the same case.-PrOfessor

600 for Breach of Promise.
BEAVER, Pa, Nov. 19.-One of the
most sensational breach h-of-promise
cases on record came up for trial
mere to-day. 1t is the suit brought last
Aprll by Mrs. Eliza Hibbard, a DASH
ing. widow of some 40 summers,
against Henry c. Fry, Sr., the
millionaire president of the Rochester
lumber Company and who owns the
Grand Hotel at Point Chautauqua, to-
gether with nearly all the cottages at
that summer resort. Mrs. Hibbard was
the wife of one of Western Pennsvlya-
mas most prominent physicians.
who died about ten years ago. She is a
tall, statuesque beauty of the blonde
type, and was in her younger davs an
operate singer. Henry c. Fry, Sr., is
wldower of 45, and lives with his two
sons and daughter in a palatial man
sion In Rochester.
After the selection of a jury and some
preliminary sparring between the op-
posing counsel, Mrs. Hibu il took the
stand and said she had known Mr.. Fry
for seventeen years. He began paving
attention to her at a picnic at Rock
Point, three years after the death of his
wife. He sat beside her and they read
the same paper on the train. He asked
her habits and when he could call and
see her. She told him to call that
night and when he came into
the parlor said she was the first
lady he had called on since his
wife's death and he felt queer. He also
said he felt lonely and was doing three
mems work to keep his mind occupied.
He asked her why she didn't marry and
she replied she did not think much of
love affairs. He then drew his chair
closer and seemed eager. He did not
make love to her that night but talked
generally of love affairs When he le /
he said She was the loveliest woman he
had ever known and invited himself to
call the following Tuesday night.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. 20.-At last
the people in the stricken city, and the
refugees from il, may know what meas

will fall. The following letter has
been written by Surgeon-General
Hamilton to Surgeon Porter, who is
in charge here: you Will inform
the city council through the mayor, Mr..
GIRO, that articles actually necessary to
be destroyed will be paid for All ar
tlcles of clothing and bedding that can
be dlsinfected by being plunged into a
dIsIntectlng solution and afterwards
plunged into boiling water could be so
treated. For this purpose a laundry
house should be Immediately construct
ed, or If in your judgment it can
better be done the laundry already
in operation will be rented. Nv
opinion is that the class of articles that
need necessarily to be destroyed is an
extremely limited one. Mattresses and
their contests, pillows and comforts can
not well be disinfected, at least without
the employment of a process so ex-
penslve as to render 1t useless from an
economic point OF view. With these
exceptions | think all the articles in
sick-rooms can be properly disinfected.
Bed-chamber walls should be sponged
and washed down with a solu-
ton of bi,chIoride of mercury,
and such articles as sheets, pillow
cases and blankets should be first
plunged in q disinfecting solution and
afterwards put in boiling water. Wear
ing apparel hanging in closets adjacent

ers and rugs in bed-chambers should be

rents as much as possible. Upholstered

LOWERS AN OCEAN RECORD.
The Umbria Beats the Fastest Time fol
Eastern

New YORK, Nov. 19.-According to a
cable dispatch from Queenstown the
Umbria reached that port at 10 o'clock
last night, making the fastest eastward
passage across the Atlantic on record.
She may not be handsome since she got
her nose broken by the Iberia but she
has Jun better.
The Umbria first left New York a
week ago Saturday, but at 80 in the af-
ternoon in a fog, ran into and cut IN
two the steamer Iberia so that one part
drItted away to starboard and sank
while the other part passed to port and
ioated until 9 O'Clock the next
night. The Umbria returned to
her pier on Sunday morning
and had couple of small patches put
over her bow and then at y O'Clock on
Monday she started again. At 2:55
O'Clock she passed Sandy Hook having
previously run aground in the main ship
channel for ten minutes. At 3:03 she
discharged her pilot and then headed
away on her course. 1t is from that
honr that that voyage begins when
reckoning time. She accordingly
crossed after allowing for the difference
IN time between Queenstown and New
York IN the remarkable time of DAYS,
hours and % minutes. The best east
ward passage hitherto made was by the
Etrurla In April, 1883, in days, ) hours
and 40 minutes. Tie best westward
passage on record is 6 days, hour and

MURDER OF A YOUNG WOMAN.
Mysterious Tragedy on a Chicago Thor
oughfare.

CHICAGO, H., Nov. l9-The mystery
surrounding the identity of a young
woman found with her skull crushed
on Grand Boulevard, Saturday night,
mas been cleared to the extent that the
woman is discovered to be Eva Mitch
ell, domestic. She was last seen
IN company with a strange man
in buggy. The place where
the body was found is nearly opposite
the mansion of Wilbur T. Story. 1t is
learned that the buggy was driven to a
point IN the center of the road, the
body deposited and the buggy turned
back in the direction from which it
came. Everything indicates that it was
a deliberate murder.
The Hyde Park police have arrested
two men On suspicion of connection
with the murder Of Eva Mitchell. The
authorities refuse to make their names
public at present. An inquest into the
cause Of the young woman's death will
be held this afternoon, at which inter-
estIng developments are expected.
Soon after the first two men were ar
rested two others were captured as
knowing something of the crime. The
mems names are now given as Thomas

In the Chicago probate court. on the

claim of Naomi A. Fairchild that she
was the wife of the late Col. Walter S.
Babcock. The Rev. VIM. Henry Burns,
of the Wesleyan Methodist Church at
10ll North Halstead Street, gave an
interesting relation of midnight
marriage at which he officiated
only a few nights before the great
Chicago fire. He claimed that the peti-
toner was one OF the contracting par
ties, and when handed a Photograph of
Col. BabcOck said it resembIed the man
he married. He claims to have made a
record of the event IN the books of st.
Paul's Church and that he never married
any couple without a license. The pc

the point that the license and records

THE TREASURER'S REPORT.
The knights of Labor Apparently on the



The morning session of the Knights of
Labor General Assembly at Indianapo-
lis on the 18th, was almost entirely de-
voted to the reports of the treasurer,
Frederick Turner; of the general
investigator of womans work and
wages, Mrs. /. NJ. Barry, and of
the General Executive board. Ac-
c0Iding 10 the treasurer's report
the receipts from all sources were
500, ,507.09 and the expenditures were
the same, including S73, ,0I9.u in dona-
tions, $40 ,S3e.67 in salaries, 500, ,005. 9S in
printing, 81, $3.50 in mileage and
smaller items for paper, hotels, postage
railroad fares, badges and buttons, ex-
pressage, etc. For the four months
covered in the supplementary report
the receipts were S52 ,59l.72, and the ex-
penditures S43, 1868. In conclusion,
Mr.. Turner says: According to the
receipts from tax, the membership has
decreased 800, 600 during the past
fiscal year, and at the present time
the receipts are not sufficient TO meet
the necessary expenses. In my opinion
a reduction OF S25, 600 in the expenses
can be accomplished without detriment
to the order, and therefore recommend;
The abolition of the mileage paid to
represen sentatiyes, the consolidation of
the Offices Of general secretary and gen
eral treasurer and the reduction of the
general executive board to not more
than five members Qess If possible)
which, based upon the mileage and
salaries paid last year, Will re-
duce the expenditures as stated above"
In view Of the great falling off in men,
bership and the debt which is hanging
over the order. the delegates are now
feeling rather blue and wondering what
the outcome will be. At the end of
June, 1887, the order was IS, ,972 ahead.
Of its condition one year later, Mr..
Turner says: "On June 80, 1888, our

that the opium found there came from
Buffalo and the officials there were put
on the scent. They were soon satisfied
that the opium was smuggled across the
border at Suspension Bridge and that
the members of the gang who acted as
plaCers were Chiramen. Yet no

IN MEMORY OF SEWARD.
A Statue of the Statesman Unveiled a
Auburn.


AUBURN, n. Y, Nov. 15.-The cere-
mony of unveiling the Seward statue
took place to-day in the presence of a
large concourse of people, including
many distinguished guests from out of
town. The W. II. Seward Republican
Club, of New York, came in a body. The
public schools were closed for the day
and several local military and civic
organizations attended in a body. The
weather was unpropitious aud cold.
Exercises except the simple act of un-
yelling were adjourned to the Opera
House. A platform erected for the oc-
casion accommodated a dense throng
and at II 80 the whole vicinity of the
park where the statue stands, was
a sea of umbrellas and people.
Ex-MayOr Wheeler called the as
semblage to order and at pre-
cisely 11:35, little Fanny Seward,
daughter of Gen. Seward and grand
daughter of the statesman, unveiled the
statue. A flag waved from a neighbor-
ing housetop was the signal for the fir
ing of salu'e of artillery and the ring
ing of the chimes of st. Peters. The
adjournment Of the exercises was then
announced and the crowd dispersed,
many of the distinguished guests driv-
ing to Fort Hill to view Stewards tomb.
