garding the situation in this city:
Mill men were up in arms this morn

circulated to the effect that there was
a break in their ranks or that there
was going to be a break, or that they
were going to attempt to start up the
day after Labor Day.
They want it understood that they
were never so cemented together as
they are at present, and that they will
not open the gates until the help are
ready to go to work and announce that
they are ready. They state that no
paper has been drawn up for signature
with a view to enticing a majority Of
the members of the association to give
up and restore the old schedule of
wages, and thatn no meeting of the execu-
tive committee has been held. In q
word, the agents express themselves as
very contented with the situation as it
stands and deny that any effort has
been made or will be made to brig
about q change. They signed an agree
ment, they say, and they have got to
stick to il.

KEEN EYESiGHT OF INDIANS

DR.. Carlos MonteZeuma, the Government
physician at the Indian school at Carlisle, has
brought to Philadelphia 30 Indian children Of
both sexes for eye treatment at the Medico-
ChrlIrgical Hospital. The cases are of great
interest in optical study, as they show just
what effect civillz ,tion has upon the eye of
redskin, who is accustomed to prairie life with
ali its freedom of action The disease with
which the eyes of the little band is affected is
iufamed eyelids.
The smoky tepees largely cause this trouble
And W hen brough East the contaeiou spreads
throughout the school. Il often Rms into
granular lids, with tendency to destroy the
eyesight. Sometimes ulcers Of the cornea get
so bad that the eye shrinks away and the eye
ball has to be removed But the cases of the
children just brought on are not so severe,
with the exception Of cue boy, who will
possibly lose one of his eyes. Upon exam
nation it was found hat the Indian boz and.
have one-.enth more vision than a white
child.
They are what might be called farsghtel

Consequently, when .hey are brought East
and placed in schools there is a complete
change in visual ohjecis What they see is
near at hand. They become subject to head
aches, due to the great strain caused and
