Does This Mean You?

1t is wonderful how many persons in
jure their Dyes by the use of chear
glasses, bought at haphazard and
totally unsuited to them. II is like
boring hole in sound tootA. Your
hat, boots OF shoes and clothes must be
bought at intervals OF not less than one
yoar with the most economical You
cannot iDjure the person in such decis.
ions as wearing appeal, but can totally
ruin your eyes and sight by knowing
nothing OF the science of optics or the
laws OF refraction in getting glasses
therefore, do not depend upon your
own Judgment or trust to that OF any
one else unless qualified by years Of
practice in their profession Glasses
unsui' ID to you must be changed very
period the patients find they have
ruined their eyes or sight and have paid
more in short period than they would
have done, and saved their eyes and
sight, had they consulted tho proper
authority in the beginning. Get the
glasses to suit you in the first place and
they will last you and save your eyes
for from three to five, eight or ten years
and will not cost you more than you
would pay for good hat or q pair of
shoes. Now, the question remains with
you, whether your eyes are worth It,.
These remarks are called forth by the
presence Of DR.. Mntthez at the Ponce de
Leon, whose name and reputation as q
scientist in his profession in the adjust
ment of glasses to the eyes is known and
recognized in this country and Europe
During his temporary stay in RoanoA 9
he has examined the eyes of and fitted
glasses to = multitude of persons. Do
not lose the golden opportunity. He is

Baltimore and Ohio railroad, or Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, may go and return by variable routes. This is an opportunity not offered by any other line, and will no doubt be taken ad- vantage of by large number of knights and their ladies. No such arran -ement has been made for any other large gather ing, and the concession on the part of the railroads should certainly be very agreed. bie 10 persons contemplating a trip to the national capital, as such chance to visit the large cities en route and view the diver sified scenery on the three great railroad lines may not be offered again in a life time.
 Passengers holding round trip tickets to Washington going via the Chesapeake aud Ohio railroad, from Cincinnati, can use the return portion of their round trip tickets from Old Point Comfort, no addi- tional charge being made for this add- lional trip.

AS TO THE CITY SCHOOLS.

The people of Birmingham are not satis- fled with tho encouragement of our public school system. They were exceedingly communicative and restive on the subject yesterday, and expressions were generally against the wholesale fee system if any plan can be utilized to avoid it. The con- census of opinion seems to be that, under the circumstances, the schools cannot all be made absolutely free, but that some way grades could be entirely exempt from fees, so that Birmingham may teach all her chil- dren 10 read and write, and that the higher grades should make up the deficiency. Again it has been suggested that large number of bright children in the city of poor parentage or no parents at all should be given free access to all our schools upon giving satisfactory evidence of their inabil- fly 10 pay.
 Reductions of the salaries of the Mayor and other city officials and the cutting out of a number of offices by the Board of AL dermen on Wednesday night strongly sug- gests he opinion ,and it is freely expressed, that some of the employees of the public schools who draw the larger salaries should bear part of the pressure by suffering q re- duction 0; pay.
 Upon this point the AGE HERALD has no suggestion to make, trusting as it does in the wisdom of the board of education, who have the disposition of funds appro- priated for school purposes. The public

MORE ECONOMY
Being Exercised by the Administra- tion-Less Light-It Is Now
 Foreman Burkhalter.

The city council at it's meeting Wednes- day night appointed special committee to look into the matter of reducing the city s light bill. The committee consisted of the following gentlemen: The mayor and AL dermen Jones, McCartin and Jefferis.
 They met at noon yesterday, and after Investigating the matter decided to dis pense with twenty-sixth lights, there being that number more in use than the city's contract with the light company called for.
 The twenty-six lights will be removed from places where their absence will be least felt aad where there is best police protection. None will be removed from the residence portions of the city.
 This reduction in the number of lights will save about 1920 month for the city.
 Mir. G. B. Burkhalter was appointed head foreman of the street department yesterday at salary of $100 per month. This is half of the monthly appropriation for street foremen, and the other half will be divided between his assistants. MT. Bnrkhalter was street commissioners prior to Wednesday night, when the office was abolished by the city council.
