COLOR BLINDNESS.
The Eyes of all Union Pacific Train
men to be Tested.

A report comes from Omaha that an
examination of all Union Pacific trainmen
for color blindness is about to be ordered.
Directors at Boston are credited with sug.
costing the thing.
The examination of railroad employees
for color blindness is an innovation in the
business. Since public attention has
been attracted to this peculiar affection it
has been found to be widespread, and it
is believed serious railroad accidents have
been caused by engineers or ~switchmen
beng unable to distinguish the colors of
signals.
The examinations of the railroad men
are not conducted with the particularly
which is used in testing the eyes of
school children. There is no comparing
of shades of color which almost blend
with each other. The only colors which
he railway employees must know are red,
green, black and white; but there must
be no uncertainty about these. The sig
mails which he must use are of these col
ors, and beyond them the railroad com
pany does not press its investigations. 1t
has been shown by practical experience
that a mar will sometimes lose
the power OF Distinguishing these
colors temporarily. If he can
have rest and change in the use of
his eyes for a time he will recover and
often never be troubled again. The
causes Of this disease, for disease it is,
are not thoroughly understood, but it
seems certain that exposure, overworklng
the eyes and the glare of gaslight con-
tribute to it.
Railway companies are inclined to be
lenient with men thus afflicted and usu-
ally allow them a vacation and give them
a second trial afterward before discharg-
them. 1t is recognized as a complaint for
which they are in no wise responsible.
If a second trial, however, shows the dis
ease still present, it Is not safe to retain
the men in positions where a correct
reading of signals is necessary to the pro-
lection of life and property.
In years agone trainmen of a certain
class were wont to practice a color blind
ness which made them utterly unable to
distinguish company money from their
own cash, but there has been no trouble
on this score for some time.

DR.. f. D. Larke of Rogers City
Michigan, says the epidemic of last year
in Presque, Isle county, in which so
many persons lost their lives, was choleric
d~issentry instead of cholera as first re
ported. He used Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and says
it succeeded, where all other remedies
failed. Not a single case was lost in
which it was used. This remedy is the
most reliable and most successful medi-
cine known for collie, cholera morbus,
dyssentry. diarrhoea and bloody fux.

LEFT POOR OLD MOTHER
Mrs. Van Brunt Leaves Her Mother
Without a Farewell.
Poignant GRIEF of Unfortunate Mrs.
BaIdridge.
Light Gone From a Life Which Was
Dark at Best.

Mrs. Baldridge, a poor old lady who
lives on Eddy between Nineteenth and
Twentieth, is in deep distress. She is
not suffering for food or raiment, but her
heart is sore. The daughter whom she
nursed in childhood and petted in woman
hood went away yesterday without even a
nod of farewell to her aged mother, who
is a gray-haired helpless cripple, upon
whose features trouble has delineated the
burrows of care. The eye that was once
OF lustrous brilliancy is dimmed and the
steady nerves shattered.
The daughter is Mrs. Van Bruut, aged
only 81, but the mother OF two bright
little boys, who were the sunshine of poor
old ~''granny's" life. Van Brunt is in
Grand Rapids, Mich, where he and his
wife and little boys were a happy family
until disagreement over trifles grew to
continual quarrelng and a household was
divided against itself. Mrs. Van Brunt
lett with the children and sought solace
at the ireside of her mother, who, with a
sister. led established a cosy home In
Cheyenne.
In trembling tones Mrs. Baldridge told
the sad story to a reporter last evening.
The daughter had always been a good
girl, she said, and there was no cause
whatever for her sudden and unexplained
departure. One of the children was bare
foot. the other only roughly clad and
the mother in a costume unsuited to street
wear or travelling. Mrs. Van
Brunt had told a neighbor that she was
going 70 Chicago and thence to Michigan
to reioin her husband, but the mother
says she has absolutely no means and
scarcely n acquaintance in the city,
having been here only three months and
remaining at home nearly all the time.
Mrs. Baldridge is well nigh distracted
over the absence of her grandchildren, as
they were placed in her care by the
father.
The theory that Mrs. Van Brunt is de-
mented is advanced by her mother who
can account for her astounding action in
no other way. She continually repeated
the statement that her daughter had
always been a good girl"
Mrs. Baldridge said she would like to
have the assistance of the territory in re
covering her daughter and grandchildren,
but that she understood there were no
laws in this country except stock laws.
Her mind was disabused of this fallacy
and the officers will lend all assistance in
their power.
This is certainly a sad case. The sor-
row of the discarded mother is keen in
deed. She is almost without hope. fla
human was ever mired in the slough of
dependency she is the one.

A LADY HER
A Novel Incident IN the Fisher Di-
vorce Case,

This is a Chicago special to the New
York World:
a rare proceeding happened in Judge
Waterman's court to-day when there
came up the divorce suit of Alice Fisher,
who was a Pennsylvania maiden before
she married a Wyoming ranch owner.
She rebeIled against doing household
drudgery, cooking for the cowboys and re-
turning the social calls of their Mormon
neighbors barefoot and in a calico dress.
When Fisher found that his wife was no
longer a profitable investment he nego-
tiated with a rancher for the sale Of his
spouse on the installment plan at the rate
OF 500 per month for one year, but Mrs.
Fisher objected to being a party to the
contract and sought refuge and a divorce
in this city.
Mrs. Fisher retained D. L. Carmichael,
a prominent attorney, but he was pre-
vented by sickness from appearing in
court today. His pretty wife, who is not
a lawyer, was on hand, however, to take
his place. and the court g~raciously allowed
her to handle the case. Mrs. Carmichael
started out with the examination of her
witnesses rather timidly at first, but alter
wards warmed up to her work. As the
defendant was not represented the judge
was compelled several times to call a halt
when the novice asked leading, improper
or irrelevant questions, but as an amateur
feminine lawyer with her first brief"
Mrs. Carmichael was a success, besides
affording much amusement to the lawyers
present. The judge continued the case
for further evidence. and complimented
the lawyers wife in a manner which
brought the bushes to her cheeks.

SAMOAN TROUPE.
Eleven Natives of that Country In
the Show Business.
Enroute East to Appear in Mu.
seums and Circuses.
Life and Adventures of Big Sam
sop GoIiah.

Eleven selected natives of Samoa were
In town an hour yesterday. They came
in from the west over the Union Pacific
and continued Eastward on the Cheyenne
& Burlington. The dusky foreigners
were in charge of r. A. Cunningham, a
gentleman who for a score of years has
been hunting novelties for museums and
circuses.
The bucks were Just an ordinary look
ing gang poorly clothed, but the woman
who is said to be the daughter of a chief.
but was described by Cunningham on the
quiet as a half breed. was a sumner. She
was young and about the saddle color of
Queen Kapolina of the Hawaiian Islands,
of neat proportions and winning counte
nance. Her travelling dress was a gor-
geous affair.
Cunningham has a good story TOR every
Samoan. He has patented a particularly
bloodthirsty yarn about one villainous
looking native. In this history the ex-
PLOTS of the big fellow are related at
length. Cunningham swears by all the
Gods in Israel that the tough looking
dutfer is a full brother to one of the chiefs
who caused the war in Samoa. The liv-
ing curiosity has been named Samson
Goliath.
As a boyrSamson Goliath thrived and
absorbed wickedness. He refused to NJ
brace the native religion, and when
forced to PROSTATE himself before an ugly
image worshiped by his tribe, destroyed
the diety at the first opportunity. For
this ruthless and sacrilegious act the
youth was banished. He took to the
woods and became a verltable Ishm aelite.
Enlisting lawless spirits he led them in
raids oil the villages. Males were muir
dered, the women abducted and fire.
BRANDS applied to the rude dwellings.
The bandits eventually clashed with
the English. They roasted a big, beef
eating missionary and destroyed churches
and books. The queens men were Just
about to move against Samson when the
iaIc Representatives, Cdmc u u uedu- Inc
willy outlaw reioined his people and fought
bravely on the winning side. When peace
declared he was granted an unccndi-
tional pardon and came in out of the wet
just in time to sign with Cunningham's
aggregation.
The Samoans will give an opening ex-
hibitioni in a dime museum in Chicago in
few days. They will MARBLE in the ma
tive iargon, rag as they were taught by
the old warriors and give athletic tour
neys. They box, and wrestle and tumble
and at least three are feet of foot and
open to run American sprinters.
Cunningham says he had no end of
trouble in securing the strange troupe.
Nearly all the members were keen to
make the trip but in nearly every instance
it was necessary to secure the consent OF
the head men of the tribe. An interpret
er was engaged, but he INDUCED in a
bowling drunk at San Francisco and was
left there.

A grand novelty is the highly success
full Shakesperean first part of the Thatch-
er, Primrose & West minstrel company.
The curtain rises on a scene of gorgeous
splender approaching tabled oriental mag
niicence. The house was a whopper, the
performers in good humor and on their
mettle. There wasn't an old feature in
the entire programme and the audience
enjoyed the performance from the time
John King and his merry crew appeared
until the grotesque property horse passed
under the wire. Primrose and Thatcher
were unusually good. The singing was the
acme Of black face vocalism. Dixon's
Sally in our Alley was exquisite and
Frillman rendered THE arrow and the
song in a grand bass voice. Marley and
Lewis, Whitmark, LeMack and Myers
gave choice selections. Barber Is a wheel
wizard, Pagan, past master at drilling and
Byrne Brothers premier pantomimists and
tumblers. The Wood aud Shepard mus
ical act was fine.

doctor has made these diseases a special

UNTIL STATEHOOD IS SECURED
All these public lands are unavailable

CHARACTER OF THE CONSTITUTION.
The Convention that framed the CoS-
stitution was in no sense partisan one.
In its organization both political par
ties were represented by delegates from
every county. S'rong Republican
counties seat minorities of Dem cratic,
and Democratic counties minoritics OF
Republican delegates. This hspay
combination of political forces was r.
Elected in the spirit which at every
stage of its deliberations animated the
Convention.
Every material, industrial and profess
sionsl interest was represented in It's
membership, and it was wholly free
from all outside Influences.
The business and tax paying portion
OF our people was especially prominent
and wa'chfui of every interest of vital
concern.
We believe that the Constitution fin.
ally adopted is in an eminent degree
couservatiSe,y progressive one. The
far
are commensurate with the needs of
the Safe, while the restrictions placed
upon legislative action are srch as ex-
perience in other states has shown to be
wholesome or necessary. A careful per
usal Of its provisions will. we think, sat
isfy any candid mind, that State gov
eminent administered in harmony with
its spirit and intent, will cause an i'm
wealth, population and happiness of the
people.
For quarter OF Il century the pion-
