AN OPEN CARD.

Los ANGELES, April 2, 1891.
To THE PUBLIC: three years ago our
little boy, frankie, had the measles,
which nearly destroyed his eyes and left
them in such weak condition that he
has not been hardly able to see since,
until lately. He suffered from such
nervous adherence of light that he had
to be confined to a dark room, and had
to have his eyes bandaged when he went
out. Having heard much of the skill of
DIR. Darrln at the Hotel Ramona, in this
city, consulted him and tried his treat
ment, which has successfully restored
his sight SO that he is able now to see
for the first time and to attend school.
His teachers can testify to his improve
ment. feel very grateful to the doctor
for what he has done, and / can be re-
ferred to for any particulars in regard to
his case. Mas. J. A. DUNCAN,
902 Date street.

1t is not reasonable to expect the
breaking of the coast records at the com
ing sports of the Los Angeles Athletic
club. In the first place, the track will
not be fast. Then again this is the first
meeting for over year. think, how
ever, that Robert Krohn is capable of
getting very close to the coast record at
pole vaulting. John Purcell won the
championship at the game in 1896, clear
ing the bar at 8 feet AZ inches. 1t
should also be considered that Krohn is
home production, while Purcell was a
champion athlete of Ireland, who was
induced to remain in San Francisco.

ern Union and Bell Telephone Companies
NEW YORK. Sent. THE Word this morn
ing says the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany and the American Bell Telephone Com
pany are about 20 engage in legal battle in
which millions of dollars are involved.
BY an agreement between the two corpora
tions the telegraph company was to receive 20
per cent OF the receipts Of the telephone COM
pany for certain concessions. In 1883 the
Western Union discovered that certain re-
ceipts were not subjected 10 the 20 per cent
deduction and began an action for an account
ing involving seven or eight million dollars.
The suit by the Western Union was begun IN
the United States circuit court for the district
Of Massachusetts. and Judge Nelson appointed
eN-Judge John Lowell as referee 10 hear the
evidence.
Judge Lowell made his report few months
ago. He decided that the W. L. is not entitled
10 the accounting asked for. Since that re-
port was made the Western Union experts have
searched the records of the Bell patents and
the previous decisions of Judge Lowell IN the
Bell telephone cases. Now the company will
move to reopen the case. on the ground OF
newly discovered evidence. Should this mo-
ton be disallowod they wall move 10 set aside
Judge Lowell report on the ground that .
surprising number of his near relatives hold
large amounts of American Bell telephone
stock.
The Western Union will make it's iirst motion
in the United States court in Boston some time

of the late James Russell Lowell and has the
best blue blood of Boston in his veins. He Is
very eminent in his profession and has writ
ten two volumes on bankruptcy which have be-
come standard authority.
