Saving Eyes by ELECTRIC Light.

The public is beginning to realize
that the use of the electric light does
more for the preservation of the eye
sight than any other artificial luminant
One of the most reassurin9 evidences of
this is the adoption of electric light i'll a
large plumber of hospitals devoted to
the treatment of eye diseases. The
Royal South London Ophthalmic hos
pital, which is undergoing extensive
structural enlargement and improve
ments, is being fitted up throughout
with electric light
1t is also stated that quite an impetus
has been given to the introduction of
electric lighting into Londonderry, Kill
kenny, Galway and other towns in
Ireland by the declaration of one of the
surgical staff of the Royal Ophthalmic
hospital in Dublin that the electric
light is the best light for eyes that are
weak or affected with disease, and Occa-
sions them less discomfort and injury
than that produced from gas, oil or can
dles.-New York Telegram.

Wonderful Work of Bees

Bees must, in order to collect pound
of clover honey, deprive $4,000 clover
blossoms OF their nectar. To do this
the 60, 600 flowers must be visited by an
aggregate of 3, 75O, 900 bees; or, in other
words, to collect his pound of honey one
bee must make $3.50, 600 trips from and
to the hive. The enormous amount of
work here involved precludes the idea
of any one bee ever living long enough
to gather more than a fraction of a
pound of nectarine sweets.
AS bees are known to fly for miles in
quest of suitable fields of operation, it is
clear that single ounce of honey rep
resents millions of miles of travel. It IS
no wonder that these industrious little
insects have earned the reputation of be-
ing busy bees.-St. Louis Republic.

A PAPAL DETECTIVE.
That Is the Title Applied to Mgr.
Satolli by Some st. Louis
Catholics.
They Say He Was Sent to Keep
FL T o. ! and Note
D,-A f.eady.
Some TIN q He Came to Amer
lea to Watch Archbishop
Ireland.

ST. LOUIS. Dec 14..-St. Louis Catho-
lies who do not like Mgr. Satolli have
found a new na.,le for him. Papal De-
tective, they call him, and seem to de-
rive a good deal of pleasure from the
appellation. just where the title orig
mated or who was the first to use it
cannot be said, but 1t is undoubtedly in
digenous to and a product of this city.
Hon. Henry Spoanhurst, who was once
president of the Catholic congress and
who is well known as layman through
out the country, makes no bones OF say
ing he thinks the visiting prelate is a
papal detective. and that his chief bust
ness here Is 10 keep ris eyes open and a
note book handy. Rome wants to
know, no doubt" he says, ''more than
has been reported to her by Catholic Of
ficers in this country, especially on the
school question. So Mgr. Satolli was
sent to quietly find out the position Of
the leaders and their motives and
methods. That, think, is the most
probable theory of his mission and when
Rome speaks we will all learn about the
matter and not until them"
Some of the more radical opponents
of the prelate say he has been sent over
to watch Archbishop Ireland. All this
discussion will widen the breach be-
tween Catholic factions in this city.

added, to see holy religion dragged in

ever seen.

tional of which was the following, Of
fered by Delegate Morgan, of Chicago:
Resolved, that this convention join

Fielding and Michael Schwabe."
George Mcneil, of Boston, then read
paper on the labor problem, and at II
the convention took recess.
Upon reassembling at 2:20 the first
business taken up was the question of
making an appropriation to the Home

Day. Delegate Skefington, of Boston,
presented the report of the committee
on the presidents report, recommend
ing that the convention donate $1,000 to
aid in the defense of the arrested strik-

ment that collection in addition be
taken. First Vice President Mcclure,
of Philadelphia, moved that $3.50 be
contributed to the defense fund of the

SUSPENDED FOR HDRESY
By Vote Of 81 to 81 the Gin
cinnati Presbytery Sus-
ponds DR.. Smith.
Many See in the Decision the
Entering Wedge for a Di-
vided Church.
The Matter Will Not Rest Here
but Will Be Appealed to
the Synod.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 14.-The Cincinnati
Presbytery, by vote Of II to n, as un-
officially reported, has closed the mouth
of one of its brightest scholars until
such time as he shall agree to renounce
his views upon inspiration and teach
them. It was late in the afternoon
when the debate on the degree Of pun
ishment was ended. The majority OF
the committee favored rebuke, but by
the close vote given the decision was in
favor of his suspension from the minis
try. The form Of sentence to be pro-
nounced against the Rev. Henry z.
Smith is as follows:
CDR. Smith is suspended from the
ministry of the Presbyterian church un'
til such time as he shall make manifest
to the satisfaction Of the presbytery his
remuneration of the errors he has been
found to hold and his solemn purpose
no longer to teach them Or propagate
them"
There is deep feeling in the Presby.
terrain church over the progress and the
result of the'trial. Many see in it the
opening wedge for divided church.
One member of the presbytery said
after the sentence had been agreed upon
81 cannot foretelI the end of this mat
ter. The good Lord did not see fit tc
endow US with the power to reach be-
lief without the use of our reason, and
I cannot see how the vote of a presby.
terry can settle questions for us that we
must decide by reason"
DR.. Smith said that he did not intend
to let the matter rest here. He says he
will appeal the case to the synod which
meets next September. Meanwhile he
will continue in his professors chair al
Lane seminary.

A Chesapeake and Ohio Train Held Up.
Two Wounded, One Fatally.
HUNTINGTON, WI Va, Dec. IA
couple of masked men attempted to rob
the passengers on the Chesapeake and
Ohio on the midnight train within the
city limits. The train was just pulling
out of Huntington when two men en-
tered the coach from the smoker. Both
wore slouched hats pulled down over
their faces and they stationed themselves
at each door of the car. Immediately
they masked themselves, and, without
warning, began firing with their revolt
vers right and left to terrify the passen-
gers. A man from Chicago, named
Tuck, who was on his way to Germany,
jumped up and grappled with the rob-
Der nearest him, but the desperate
knocked him down, and his companion
running up shot him through the head,
inflicting fatal wound. The train con-
ductor and several passengers then at
tackled the two men and succeeded in
wrestling their reyolvers from them.
When they were deprived of their
weapons they leaped from the train and
made good their escape. Immediately
upon their arrival in Guyandotte the
train officials gave the alarm and a
posse was organized to run them down.

Drake was shot through the foot and

The Young Scholars of a Burning Cincin-

CINCINNATI, Dec. 14.-The cry of
''fire" which rang through the Twen-
tieth district school building during the
morning caused panic. The children
ran for the doors to make their escape
but the good management of the teach
ers prevented crush and the little ones
escaped without a scratch. The fire had
caught from a wooden chute used in
heating the building and the smoke APP
peared simultaneously in rooms 3, II
and II. The pupils to the number Of
1000 were all under 10 years of age,
and it seems miracul ous that none We're
injured in the confusion which followed
the alarm. The school house stands in
the heart of tenement district and is
said to be veritable death trap. Time
and time again complaint has been
made about its dangerous condition,
but no steps have been taken to render
it safe. The fire department promptly
extinguished the blaze with small
loss

beginning of the conflict and the strik-

in their present course until General
Manager st. John shows disposition
to meet their demands. 1t is now GER
tain that the members of the other rail-
road organizations are not to be called
out. After many consultations on the
subject this decision has been arrived
at and Chief Ramsey is not sorry for the
fact. Neither is there likely to be a
strike of photographers on any other road.

visited the water front of Baltimore,
started shortly after 8 a. M, in the
massive cotton warehouse of Alexander

and valued at about $S50,OOO. With
the exception of the countless bales
floating in the harbor, the entire lot, it

was asked to appoint receiver for the
Western Manufacturing Insurance COM

Charges are made that the defendant
corporation ceased to do business nearly
two years ago and reinsured all the

charged the company $40, 900 for salaries
and commissions and they are said to
hold assets worth from $75, 200 to $780,

Attorney Newman, the policy holders
are afraid that all the funds will be
eaten up for salaries and commissions.
The court said he would take up the
matter and also motion to remove the
case to the federal courts.
