NEW EYE DISEASE.


&c u Form Of Diphtheria and Has Been
Imported from Germany.
A disease known As diphtheria Of tho
eye has lately shown itself in the vicini.
ty Of Boston. As yet it has not gained
much headway. but eye specialists arc
on the lookout for such cases. in the
hope that its progress may be effectually
checked.
In conversation with a leading eye
physician of this city day or two since
1t was found that tho disease up to tho
present time has been very rare one.
but verv few cases being known to him
in the past eight or nine years in this
part OF the country. Those. however.
have in nearly every instance resulted
in the loss Of the member affected. and
often in the loss Of the entire sight. :,
The disease, which is considered
very serious one. is peculiar to Germany
in tho vicinity Of Berlin, where many
pcople have suffered from its effects. In
nature it is precisely the same as throat
aiphtheria. and may bc caused by com.
ing in contact with that disease. il the
PERSONS eyes have been at all soro or
infiamed from any cause.
At the present time there 10 one case
under treatment at the Massachusetts,
Eye and Ear Infrmary. on Charles
street. this city, the patient being q
little girl; but as it Is . comparatively
new case. hopes arc entertained that it
may not result seriously. and that her
present impaired sight may be restored.
The most dimcult trouble encount-
cred in the treatment OF this disease
by tho specialist is to keep the unafYect-
ed member tightly bound and hooded.
that it may not draw the inflammation
from the diseased eye to itself, for. IL
this should happen. there would DO
any hope OF the patient recov-
ering.
As yet there Is no cause for extreme
alarm, rs most cautionary measures are
being taken to reach those cases before
they shall Be impaired to others-Bos.

p%anionable young man, and had consider
able affection for his wife after all. The
bride was a charming little lady, and was
delighted with her husband, more and more
so the better she became acquitted with
him.
The subject of future plans. however, was
not referred to. The husband avoided it,
the wifefdid not wish to mar their pleasure
by bringing il up. 1t was only settled that
they should return to their cosy little home,
which had been hers for years. But, though
she did not bring up the subject of the flu
ture, the wife had all her plans laid and the
day of reckoning was coming for the man
much sooner than he expected. and coming
all the more suddenly and emphatically be-
cause of the fancied repose in which he was
allowed to dwell.
Arrived home. the people went to the
wife's pretty little house. A nice supper
had been prepared for them, and a happy
evening was spent. Morning came and
breakfast was had. Then came the reck-
oning.
NOW, DEAR" said his wife, what do you
think of doing?"
Dear had to confess that he had not
given the subject much thought, if any, but
he did it in looks rather than in words.
The wife was evidently disappointed. but
hardly surprised. She had half expected
this.

around and see what you can dc. Anything

"Well,'' he said, IT guess you knew what

"a good thing for you,' replied the
friend. Now get out and hustle and make
a man OF yourself"
And it was a good thing. The young
husband vent home that evening without
anything to do, The same programme was
followed out for several days. The wife
did not acold; she was always pleasant; but
she kept books and found out where the
money went, Finally the young man
found his place in life. He had a talent,
but he had never discovered it. His wife
readily advanced the money to start out.

band.
She Did Not Propose to Let Him
Loaf Away All His
Days.
But When He Found His Line She Ad-
vanced Money and He Became
Rich Himself.

When a wonan marries rich society talks
of it. The local accounts of the wedding,
and, may be, too extensive ones sent off by
telegraph, speak of the groom's great
wealth and congratulate tho bride. This is
legitimate. The bride should be congratu-
lated. She IL simply furnished the means
whereby she may become a more useful
momber of society, and may perform acts
of charity which were previously beyond
her power. And she often does this, At
the same time the husband goes on his
daily business, a useful member of COM
mercisl as we'll as social life.
But when a man marriss rich-and he Of
ten does in st. Louis; in every large city in
the country, in every town in the country
districts-ths result is quite different. The
rule, as it il said to be by those who have
studied it, is that he becomes simply a man
try he had before disappear, and ha lives
selfshly and within himself. satisfied with
what he gets from his rich wife.
The latter may go into society, as she had
always done before, but he remains at home
or goes to his club-for, of course, his wife
keeps up a club membership for him in or
der to maintain position for him in her set,
There are, of course, exceptions to tho rule.
A man may marry rich, but for love and
from the pressurs of surrounding lapse
into Incidence and remain in that state.
Or he may marry for money with the pre-
meditatsd purpose of taking life easy, do
ing nothing but enjoying life to the fullest
of his wifs's monsy. A case of this latter

EDISON'S TRIUMPHS.
He Has Just Completed Two
Wonderful Inventions.
to Great Railroads.&c. Other Does
Away with the Trolley System

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch.
Thomas A. Edison, the electrical wizard,
has just completed two inventions before
the wonderful and far reaching results of
which all his other remarkable discoveries
are comparatively insignificant. One is
the practical application of electricity to
great railroad lines, by which a speed be-
yond anything achieved by steam may be
attained, and the other the application of
electricity to the propulsion OF street cars,
without the use of the dangerous, unsightly
and inconvenient overhead construction.
For two years Mr.. Edison has been en-
gagged on experiments in this direction. He
has met with almost insuperable difficult
ties, but he has stuck to. his
work with that logged pertinacity
for which he is famous, and at last
he has been successful. The general prin-
clple of the street car invention is that the
electric current passes down through one
line of rails, is picked up by the car, passes
through the motor beneath it and goes out
on the other side and returns through the
other line of rails TO the central power sta
ton.
MIR. Edison's other great discovery is to
obviate the difficulty met in the attainment
OF high speed on ordinary steam railways,
which is the interference of steam. The
injection and exhaust of the steam into and
from the cylinders is so rapid in its alter
nations unat beyond a certain limit 1t is
impossible to work, and this is an inherent
defect in all steam propulsion because OF
the necessity Of the conversion of the re-
ciprocating motion into rotary action. In
the new electric motor this difficulty van
ishes and the limit of speed is only that of
the endurance of the machinery and the
ton of Mr.. Edison's a speed of one hun
dred miles or more an hour will be more
easily attainable than the ordinary speed
of fifty TO sixty miles an hour. This is
also in the hands of the Edison General
Electric company, aud negotiations are
now in progress for the application of the
system TO one of the long lines of railway.

New York, Oct 19.-The steamship
Dunedin sailed from Cienfuegos on Octo-

signed TO Waydell & Co. Immediately
after leaving Cienfuegos the little ship
encountered strong, adverse winds off
Cape Hatteras. She caught the hurricane
of October Ii. This Grove her miles out
of her course. In battling with the ele-
ments the ship exhausted her supply of
coal. All the woodwork aboard the ship
was utilized to keep the furnace going.
When all the WOOD was gone, Captain Nc
kechnie drew upon the cargo of sugar.
Bag after bag OF this was hurled into the
furnace. 1t was quite expensive firing,
but there was nothing left for the captain
TO do. With the aid of the sugar Captain
Mckechnie made Newport News, Va,
where he replenished his coal ounkers.
The steamer came TO anchor off Liberty
island late Saturday night. Captain Nc
Kechnie says sugar is great steam gen :
orator. The only objection he has to it is
the cost. He used during TIE few days he
was trying to make Newport News fully
fifty tons of the precious cargo. He esti-
mates that it was worth S., 900. This takes
away the greater part OF the Dunedins
profits for this trip.

violent speech defending anarchy. This
speech, which was full of the most bitter
denuuciaJions of the existing systems Of
government and society, caused such an
uproar and so much protest upon the part
OF the more soOer-minded portion of the
delegates that the congress was upon the
point of electing committee to consider
the expulsion of the members who sup
ported the anarchistic views OF the
speaker. Then Auerbach, amid scene Of
