ONE WIFE REMOVED BY DEATH
The Other Two Still Watch the Case
Against the Bigamist ExhOrter.

Wife number of the exhorting bigamist,
Allen Bernhart, was buried yesterday at Balti-
more. She died in ignorance of her husbands
arrest, and the latter was ignorant of his wife's
death until after she had been buried. Bern
hart was arrested about a week ago while ex-
hOrting at gospel temperance meeting, and
when on the following day he was faced by the
woman he had first married he tainted away.
The hearing has been postponed from day to
day owing to the illness of wife No. 2. Yester-
day he was committed for court.
The police promise to show that Bernhart
was the father of three sets of children, and at
the time of his arrest he was paying attention
TO an cstimable young lady, who narrowly es-
capped sharing the fate of the other victims
The influence the man had over the women
was remarkable. Though the most convincing
evidence was offered the woman who was buried
yesterday, she refused to believe anything said
about Bernhart When told that she had died
he cody said:
''Is that so. Well, call me messenger boy,
l want to send for man
Wife No. /, who lived in Waynesboro'. has
testified to having married Bernhart Wife
No. Is dead and woman with whom he has
been living and who claims he is the father of
her child, is watching the result

DEATH FROM SPECTACLES.
HemOrrhage of the Optic Nerves Pro-
duced by Improper Glasses.

The death at Wilmington, Del, of Albert H.
Conoway, an eleven-year-old lad, ON Wednes-
day, has created considerable of a sensation in
medical circles. The boy was an Albino and
was of a peculiarly nervous temperament. He
attended school and was a hard student Some
few weeks ago his eyesight became impaired
and he had pair of glasses fitted by an OPP
tician. The lad wore the glasses constantly
and soon began to suffer with pains in the head,
which became SO severe that physician was
called in. The latter diagnosed the boys all
ment to come from his eyes and an oculist was
consulted.
Upon examination the latter discovered that
COnoway's optic nerve had been strained by
the use of the glasses and that hemorrhage of
the eye had followed. The lads condition
grew worse until death resulted from menih-
gifts. The oculist, DR.. Mckay, in examining
the patient discovered that the glasses supplied
bSthe optician were exactly the opposite in
their powers to those required by the boy.
Owing to this fact the hemorrhage of the eye
ensued.
The physicians discussed means to hold the
optician responsible for the boys death on the
ground of malpractice, but as he is only a
vender OF glasses and not an oculist there seems
to be no way to do So Young Conoway, being
an Albino, had peculiarly sensitive eyes, which
were very easily affected,

CHILDREN THAT TEASE,
1t is a Mistake Ever to Let Them Gain
Their Point.
From the Sunday School Times.

From the Sunday School Times.
1t is a misfortune to a child to suppose that
teasing is essential to his gaining point that
he ought to gain. result of such a view in
his mind is that he looks not to his parents
wisdom and judgment but to his own posi-
tiveness and persistency as the guide of his
action i'll any mooted case of personal conduct;
not to principles which are disclosed to him by
one who is in authority, but to impulses which
are wholly in his own BOSOM Such view is
inimical to all wise methods of thinking and
doing on a child's part. And it is even more
OF misfortune to the parent than to the
child for child to have the idea that the par
ents decision is u result of the child's teach
ing rather than that OF the parents under
standing OF what is right and best in given
case. No parent can have the truest respect of
a child while the child knows that he can tease
that parent into compliance with the childs
reques. contrary to the parents real or sup
posed conviction. For the child's sake, there
fore, and also for the parent's, every child
ought TO be trained not to tease and not to ex-
pect any possible advantage from teasing
