A STARTLING FACT.

That very few persons have perfect eyes. 1t
must be evident that it requires both knowl-
edge and skill to know what the eyes need and
to fit them properly with glasses Those who
trust this work to nninstructed dealers are
crimina ly careless of the most valuable of all
the senses, their sight. In addition TO gradu-
atlng in Germany and my thirty years practical
experience have taken a course and gradu-
ated in school OF optics in New York and
learned the latest and best methods of sscer-
tanning the different defects of the eyes and
their proper correction. so that l can fit you
properly with glasses that will strengthen and
improve your eyesght instead Of rapidly ruin
ing it, as poorly fitted glasses will always do.

Yesterday B. A. Wilson, assistant su-
perinIendent here for the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company, OF New York,
was arrested by County Constable st,
Myers, on a warrant issued by Justice
George Ankle, on the charge OF swim
ding the company out OF large sums Of
money The warrant was sworn out by
Mr., Lyons, Of New York, an inspector
in the employ OF the company, who has
been here, accompanied by three detec'
tlvesp for two or three days past.
Wilson was arraigned before Squire
Ankle and held for hearing,
His plan OF operation, as alleged by
the company, was very Ingenious, but
not novel. The fact may be recalled
that the Provident Life Insurance Com
pany was some time ago swtndled in
the same way.
Wilson was paid salary Of SIS q
week, regardless Of the business he
brought in. In addition to this he re-
ceived percentage on all policies he
secured above a certain amount per
week. Since last December, It Ia stated,
he has received from Sl4 to $50 per
week extra on account OF such extra
business.
Wilson claimed to have nm agent
named Brown, who wrote many OF these
extra policies. Brown 10 held by the
company to be q mythical person.
They charge that Wilson himself wrote
the policies.
Some policies on which he received
extra pay were issued to persons who
have been found out to have no ex-
istence. Others were issued to persons
who really existed, but who never APP
piled for insurance.
The suspicious OF the company were
aroused by finding that one oil the in.
sured persons was ignorant OF the fact
that he was insured, and Mr.. Lyons
and his staff OF detectives were sent
here. They worked quietly until they
were sure OF their ground and then
swore out two warrants.
All the applications for policies were
accompanied by the usual medical ex.
aminer's certificate, duly sworn. The
incentive TO the fraud was that the in
spector received fifteen times the first
premium paid on each policy as his
commission. This was, OF course, pre-.
sumably divided with his agent,
Brown"
The Scheme was a bold, not to say
reckless one. II must sooner or later
be discovered. Some Of the policies is
sued we're on the death rattle plan.
Last night about o'clock, at his resi-
dence on Chapline street, DR.. R, L. ASH
brook, who for several months has act
ed as the examining physician OF the
Metropolitan Company here, was ar
rested by. constable Alonzo ST. Myers,
charged With signing medical certificates
for life insurance with fraudulent in
tent He was taken before Justice
George Ankle and put up 5000 for his
appearance Monday afternoon at 9
o'clock.
Dr.. Asbkrook said 10 an INTEL1raEN-
GER man last night that he was in the
dark 80 far as any fraud was concerned
in his official acts as the company's ex-
aiming physician. He claimed that
all the insurance effected upon his Ger.
tifcates was bona fdr.
DR.. Ashbrook's name may have been
forged to the certificates Of medical ex-
animation. It looks as il some OF them
must have been crooked In some way.

Mrs. Clement SCOTS Repartee.

Mr.. SCOTS impressions of our coun-
try have been highly favorable, and it
is presumed that, having become so
closely acquainted with us, both he and
his charming wife will revisit us often.
Favored with a keen sense of the
humorous, they have fully enjoyed the
American character in its various and
varying phases. Not all their expert
ences, however, have been agreeable.
For example, at somewhat mixed
dinner party in Chicago the other day
they met man and his wife represent
ing a great deal of money and quite as
much vulgar pretense. The woman
wore large amount of jewelry, there
being among other pieces superb
design in diamonds. OF this particular
ornament the wearer appeared to be
specially proud, and calling attention
to it, she said to Mr. and Mrs. Scott,
81 bought these diamonds in a London
shop, where they had been pawned by
some of your royalty"
This coarse if not insulting remark
did not ruffle Mr.. Scott at all, but Mrs
Scott found it quite out of the question
to forbear answering in her subtle,
feminine way, "Yes, our best people
sometimes sell, but they never buy II
pawnshops !"-Exchange.
