The State Medical society has done
wen In calling public attention 10 the
fact that . large proportionof the blind
ness of the world 10 due to the disease
called ophthalmia neonatorum, and that
the well known treatment OF this disease
by d physician at D sufficiently early Pc
Rod in Its course almost always results
In preventing the blindness that would
otherwise follow. For this reason the
society recommends the enactment OF q
law that has been already adopted In q
number of states, to this effect:
Should or both eyes Of an infant
become infiamed or swollen or REDEEMED
at any time within two weeks after It's
birth, it shall be the duty of the midwife
or nurse having charge Of such infant to
report in writing within six hours to the
health officer or some legally qualified
physician of the city, town or district In
which the parents of the infant reside
the fact that such inflammation on swell
ing or redness Of the eyes exists.
The proposed statute imposes a penal
ty for noncompliance. A specific penal
ty is necessary to make any statute ef-
~fective, but the value Of such an enact
ment would be mainly to draw atten-
ton to the necessity of timely action,
since 1t Is improbable that any parent or
urse would willfully neglect the precau-
tions necessary TO save q child from

4 FAMOUS WOMAN MooNsHINeR.
xhe Dssseh u Monte Miisrr. 0hcs tae Head
az 4 Dcspefate Gang.

Information has reached this city
through a southern detective that Mollie
Miller, the wonss.l ~rlooasliner OF Polk
county, Tenn, died a fw days ago a.
her home in the no1a.airs.
Her operations ut otie time were
ried on very extensively. and she was ut
the head cf q gang which was involved
In more bloody fights with e Off
rers than Gnv other organized in the
south. Her first experience was in the
mountains Of Sewer county, where she
assisted her father, Sam Miller. Here
Deputy Marshal Mcpherson led a raid
under q guide who had q grudge against
Miller. In an almost inaccessible gorge
the officers encountered the moonshiners.
A bloody fight followed, and three Of
the revenue men were. killed, the others
~retreating. 1t was noticed that a young
girl was one Of the party, and it has al
ways been believed that she killed one
Of the officers. Another raid was made
in which Miller was killed and his assoc
ciates captured. About this time the
revenue officers received q box contain
ing the remains of the man who had in
formed upon the gang. There was moth
ing 10 indicate from whom il came, and
the box must have been carried by wag-
on and left at the marshal's house.
The woman was not found, and itwas
soon known that she had fed. In q few
months Polk county, which had always
Furnished considerable illicit whisky,
became the headquarters Of the moon
sinners throughout east Tennessee, and
raid followed raid until there was scarce
lys cave ON the Hiawassee riverffat had
not been the scene Of some bloody fight
between the fnoonshiiers and revenue
men.

San Francisco, July 26.-That the rail-

Associated Press.

Washington, July Ex-senator Villas
who waE secretary or the interior, and
late postmaster general during Cleve-
lands first administration, replied to-
day to Senator Germans attack on the
president. For two hours he held the
floor, delivering his scathing rebuke of
the Maryland senator He denounced
Mr.. Germans assault as wanton, reck-
less, and unjustifable. At the conclu-
sion of his speech, Villas explained that
in view of the fact that Messrs. Cor
man and Smith had assured him his
motion to recede from the one-eighth
differential in favor Of the refiners of
sugar must fail, and the further fact
that the Democratic caucus had de-
cided to agree to a further conference
without instructions, he would with
draw the motion.
Hills motion thai the senate recede
from it's amendments of placing a duty
of 40 cents per ton on coal and iron,
was voted on and defeated, the Repub>
licans, except Hansbrough, of North
Dakota, joining with the Democrats
bound by the caucus agreement against
it. The vote stood 6 to Co. and to Ga.
Irby, of South Carolina, was the only
other Democrat except Hill who voted
for free coal and iron. The Populists,
Allen, Kyle and PETER, also voted for
the affirmative. Washburn, Republican,
of Minnesota, renewed Villas motion to
instruct the conferees to recede from
the one-eighth differential on refined
sugars, but Gray Immediately made a
point of order against it. that it was
not competent for the senate to instruct
a full and free conference. The point
of order was discussed for some time,
but It had not been. decided when the
senate adjourned. There was no doubt,
however, that it will be sustained.
and this motion ruled out. The general
impression is that the bill will go back
to conference tomorrow.

Minneapolis, July 26.-The decision Of
Joe Choynsh tonight makes Tommy
Ryan the welter weight champion Of the
world. The contest which has been at
tracing the attention of the ring fol-
lowers for weeks throughout the coun-
try, was a 2O-round affair, the men to
weigh in at or under 1872 pounds, and
the winner to take all the money. The
fight took place at the Twin City Ath-
letic Club, and was witnessed by a large
audience At the end of the goth round,
with Smith on his feet, smiling, though
bloody, Choynsld declared Ryan the
winner on points, though the men, with
the exception Of the friends Of Ryan,
declared it should have been a draw.
Delegations of sporting men from all
parts of the country were in attendance.
Smith did most of the leading up 10

was offered. In the 9Th, Smith drove
Ryan to the ropes twice, and it looked
as though the Bostonian was getting
the best of 1t. In the 18th round, Ryan
closed Smiths eye, though the latter
landed heavily on Ryan's kidneys. In
the 14th round, Ryan led and Smith
caught him with an uppercut. Smith
landed terrible right on Ryan's chest
which nearly floored him. Smith chased
him all around the ring and landed
right and left, but did not finish him.
In the next three rounds some hard
fighting was done, and in the 18th Ry-
an shot out his left, which dazed Smith
and drew blood He went after him.
but both fought like tigers, and Smith
was groggy as the (round closed.
Smiths nose was broken. In the 10th
time only saved Smith. Ryan sent his
right and left into Smiths face, and
the blood flew, but he could not knock
him out In the Goth Ryan landed punch

peared afraid of Smiths dangerous
right, although almost gone. Although
not knocked out, Smith was declared
beaten by the referee.

JAPANESE MINISTER RECALLED

Washington, July 26.-M. Tatano,
Japanese minister to the United States,
has been recalled. The recall, it is
stated, is not due to anything connected
with the present Japanese-Corean-Chin-
ese difficulty, but matters growing out
of the recent treaty negotiations.
1t is learned that Tatano was re-
called simply in pursuance with Japan's
rigid civil service rules.
