The afidavits are those of A. A. Nc
Leod, President of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad, G. E. Henderson.
General Manager of the Philadelphia and
Reading Company, and Charles Harris
horne, Second Vice President of the same
road.
President McLeod's affidavit begins
with q review OF the facts of the institu-
tion of the suits and the manner of SER
vice made on him, and he quotes largely
from the supplemental information filed
oy the Attorney General, which CHARGES
That the Philadelphia and Reading. and
the Central Railroads ~disobeyed the order
OF the Court, and operated their roads TO
diminish competition in anthracite Goa.
and arbitrarily increased the price to the
people of New Jersey.
mr.. Mcleod swears every one of these
statements is absolutely untrue. The
af1davits further state Immediately upon
the service August 81, the Central Com
pany re-ehtered on the possession of It's
property, and that the Philadelphla &
Reading Company has obeyed the order
of the Cont.
1t is a fact he saws that on July 1, 1892.
the PHILADELPHIA & Reading Coal & Iron
Company did advance the price of coal

ther advance without discrimination be-
tween the citizens of New Jersey and those
OF Pennsylvania n that the Heading
railroad Company had nothing to do with
the advance. He does admit that the
Philadelphia n Reading Railroad Com
pany, OF its own notion without combina-
zion did make a certain advance In the
coal tariff from collieries in Pennsvl-

affidavit, denies that there has been apy

Hints on the Care of the Eyesieht.

DR.. L. w. Fox gives the following in
The Franklin Institute Journal.
Avoid sudden changes from dark to
brilliant light.
Avoid the use of stimulants and drugs
which affect the nervous system.
Avoid reading when lying down or
when mentally and physically exhausted,
When the eyes feel tired rest them by
looking at objects at a long distance.
Pay especial attention to the hygiene of
the body. for that which tends to promote
the general health acts beneficially upon
the eye.
Do not depend on your own Judgment
in selecting spectacles.
Old persons should avoid reading much
by artificial light, be guarded as to diet
and avoid sitting up late at night.
After fifty, battle the eyes morning and
evening with water SO hot that you won
der 20 You stand 1t; follow this with
cold water that will make them glow
with warmth.
Do not give up in despair when you are
informed that a cataract is developing:
remember that In these days of advanced
surgery 1t can be removed with little or
no danger to vision.

The election excitement has produced
temporary paralysis in athletics. The
clubs are doing absolutely nothing. The
rooms of the several organizations are not
deserted, but the members show no dis
position to practice or even talk games.
Their favorite theme still is politics.
There was a large gathering at the Loril-
lard Clubs rooms last night and a pros
pect of some timely suggestions that
might have resulted in a revival Of some
of the tournaments so popular
W. years ago. Just about the
time that something practical was
expected. the music of a band was heard
and the members were quickly out on
the avenue. 1t was only a band parad-
ing to advertise a ball. This was fol-
lowed by a parade in which the six prin-
cipals were of that high mental calibrs

LORD BROUGHAM'S NOSE.

A Most Eccentric Organ It Was, Never
Twice Seen in the Sams Shape.
Probably no single facial organ in the
world has been the subject of so much
attention from the caricaturists as the
nose OF Lord Brougham. 1t is doubtful
if any two consecutive numbers of any
socalled comic or satirical Journal ap-
peared in England during Brougham's
lime without some representation of
Brougham's nose. The author of Notes
on Noses thus spoke of it,: SIT is a most
eccentric nose; it comes within no possi-
Die category; 1t is like no other
mans; it has good points and bad points,
and no point at all. When you
think It Is going right on for a Roman, it
suddenly becomes a Greek; when YOU
have written 1t down cogitative, it be-
comes as sharp as O knife. lit is a
regular Proteus; when you haye caught
1t In one shape. it iustantly becomes an
other. Turn it and twist it, and view it
how. when, n where you will, 1t is
never to be seen twice in the same shape:
and all you can say Of it is that it's a
queer one. And such exactly" he added.

Lord Brougham and my Lord Brougham's
