A DELICATE OPERATION.

A Herald reporter was yesterday intro
duced to Mr.. William Jarvis, of Santaquin,
Utah county. Mr.. Jarvis is one of those
whom, from being blind, DR. Prentice has made
to see. Some seventeen years ago, while he
was working in Tintic, one of his eyes be-
came affected, and inside of five years he
was blind in it. Gradually his other also be.
came affected, and for some years he ,has.had
to be led from place to place, being unable to
find his own way. A week ago he visited
DR.. Prentice, and the Doctor determined to
perform an operation for cataract with iredec-
tomy-One of the most delicate operations
known to surgery. A knife was inserted be
tween the white and the clear parts of the
eye, and then was forced up until it came out
at the top. The Doctor next cut out portion
of the iris and removed the cataract from be-
hind the eye, after which he dressed it and
eft the patient. Yesterday morning he came
into the room, and the first thing he has read
in seventeen years was the Herald, which the
Doctor handed to him. Cataract makes the
eye perfectly Opaque, and by the operation of
the Doctor the opacity has been entirely re-
moved and the pupil of the eye is perfectly
clear, The way in which the eye has healed ia
remarkable, and the operation was certain
ly perfect and decided success. The old gen.
tleman-for he is well advanced in years-said
the operation did not hurt him much-not SO
much as the pressing of the Doctors sleeve
button against his nose. No anesthetics what
ever were used, and the operation was done
without tiinchiDg.
DIR. Culbertson, of Indianapolis, was present
at the operation, and when the reporter sub
sequently Intercepted him concerning it, he
said: 81 have performed the same operation
great many times and think l do know
good operation when l see it. Every manipu-
Iation was perfect. There was no faltering.
An operation is a series of steps and can say
OF DIR. Prentice that each step was faultless.
1t could not have been more perfect l re-
gard such an operation as a test. A man who
can perform it can perform any operation. l
have seen the old gentleman since, and the re-
suits are as good as could possibly be obtain
ed by perfect operation"
Coming, as this does, from such a high and
Well.known authority as DR.. Culbertson, DR..
Prentice has no reason to regret the high wit.

THE JEFTY AT THE BAR.
Extracts From the Engineers Repor

Extracts From the Engineers Report.
Progress and Condition of the Work.
THE Historian is in receipt OF the
annual report of Major Thos. Hand
bury, Major Of Engineers, I. S. A,
upon the progress and present cOndi
tion of the ietty at Ft Stevens. Ma
iOr Hundbury says: The project
under which this work is being car
ried on was adopted in 1881 1t
contemplates providing n chanuel
across the Columbia river bar, having
a depth of 30 feet at mean low tide.
This is to be effected by couceutrat-
ing the water flowing over the bar
and increasing the resultant currents
to such degree as to procure the
desired depth. Any work for accom-
piishing this end must be more o. less
tentative in its character. The work
which is now in progress is the build
ing of low tide jetty starting from
Fort Stevens, on the south cape, and
extending in a westerly direction,
with slight curve to the south, out
across Ciatsop Spit, for q distance of
AZ miles, more or less, as circumstan-
ces may require, to a point about 3
miles south of Cape Hancock (Disap-
pointment). This jetty is constructed
of stone, resting. upon a mattress
foundation about 40 feet wide and
from 215 to feet thick. The stone
extends to the level of mean lower
low water. The materials thus far
have been placed in position from a
jetty tramway supported upon piles
driven along the line of the jetty, and
about a feet above the level Of low
tide. This tramway is double track,
3-foot gauge railroad, the tracks be-
ing IS feet between centers. The ma
terials are landed at the wharf and
transported to place over these tracks,
which are built in advance OF the
main work.
The first appropriation for work
under this project was made in the
river and harbor act approved July 5,
1884. There has been appropriated
up to June 80, 1883, S287, 800. The
amount expended to that date, includ-
ing outstanding liabilities, is S247,-

TIRED OF LIVING.

Miss Dora Morrill, Takes Dose of Lnudn-
uum-Turned Into the Streets by Her
Scared Mistress.
Dora Morrill,, rather handsome looking
girl, % years old, il at present under the
care of the matron at the Central station,
and is a very sick girl from the effects of an
overdose of laudanum, taken with suicidal
intent. Miss Morrill,, according to her own
story, has been an inmate of Laura Bailey's
house, No. Ill First avenue. Lately she has
been drinking considerably, and having be-
come dissatisfied with the life she was lead
ing she concluded to end her life by taking
q dose of laudanum, the drug having been
in her room for some time.
Miss Morrill, reports that when Miss
Bailey discovered what she had done, fear
ing the results of her dying in the house,
she turned her out into the street at o'clock
in the morning. The girl wandered about un-
til she found Officer Maxwell, to whom she
appealed for help, as the drug was making
her deathly sick. The officer took the girl to
the Central station, where Sergeants Gray
and Metz dosed her with coffee and mus
tard, which had the effect of making her
purge freely. DR.. Mayer meanwhile was
called and worked with the girl until 6
o'clock in the morning and succeeded in
getting her to purge the greater part of the
drug. Miss Morrill, states that she must have
taken five or six ounces of the laudan um.
and to this overdose is the cause Of her life
being saved.
The girl comes from Columbiana county,
O., where her parents are well-to-do. She
is now sorry for her rash act, but does not
want to 60 home, as she is ashamed to face
her parents.

Naturalizing Appears to Have Been Mainly
Done Before June IS.
Yesterday was the last for taxpaying and
naturalization, the last on which vote
could be claimed on a taxpaying basis, and
there was more rush to pay tax than
to get naturalized. Mr.. Fox marshaled q
crowd of nascent Democrats before Judge
Magee and had the finishing touches put on
them. The Republicans also had a few
polished of, but the naturalization business
has dragged in this county since the 18th of
June. Before that it was unusually brisk
and the decadence since proves conclusively
that the effort then made to get into the ark
of safety was for the purpose of keeping her
fright side up with care" lest her cargo Of
booze should be spilled.
Politicians of both parties say this cam
paign SO far has verged on stupidity on both
sides. The popular heart, it seems cannot
be fired and some think that if election day
be dry and pleasant for work the vote will
be light. There is still time for warming
up. While there hasn't been much said
there may have been considerable quiet wood
saving.

which occupies the building next to the
East Liberty Presbyterian Church, COM
menced its second year on September 16,
and now that the various departments OF
work, in the domestic training of children,
young girls and women have been started 1t

composed of 35 prominent ladies from the
Protestant churches in Pittsburg, princi-
pally in the East End, should know the
financial support which will be given them
during the coming year. To this end Mrs.
G. A. Ashburner, Chairman of the Advi-
sorry Committee, has sent through the mail
circulars, giving full information about the
cooking and housework departments of this
school. Scholarships may be obtained at $40
each, which will entitle the purchaser,
during one year, to place one pupil at a
time in any of the plain courses of instruc-
tion. It is desired that number of perma-
nent annual scholarships be subscribed for,
to be paid regularly each year, in order to es-

"You can fool all the people

There's good deal of "solid horse sense"
in the homely phraseology of Honest Old
Abe" as quoted above, peculiarly appli-
cable to the clothing business in these days,
when newspapers overflow with announce
ments which must convince all readers Of
the fact that there are too many Zone Idea"
men in the clothing business nowadays,
who believe in Barnum's s theory that
"THE AMERICAN PUBLIC LIKE TO BE
HUMBUGGED."
This moss-grown theory is not pursued at
Gusky's, whose mammoth business proves
that the public has found the place where
business is done on the foundation of actual
merit and one price only. For proof Of
merit and lowest prices on record, visit
