"Dr. Kelley did not class alcohol
ism as a moral vice, but as a disease
He, therefore, knowing that there are
antidotes for every poison, set to
work to find an antidote for this. He
found it after years Of research and
experiment. He was positive, but
the medical profession scoded at the
theory. He went to Joseph Medill.
editor of the Chicago Tribune, with
the proposition that il Medill would
send him five men and if he failed to
cure them the Tribune could publish
the formula of the treatment, and i'll
he succeeded the Tribune was to
open its columns to setting forth the
benefits aceruing to those who take
the treatment. The proposition was
accepted. Mr.. Medill sent five prin-
tiers who were drunkards. All are
now sober, industrious men, buying
home requirements instead of, as
they formerly did, spending their
money for drink. Their reforms
were remarkable, as is every Kelley
reform. All papers now boom it,
The medical profession now recon-

been assured. There are now 100
branch institutes, with the same

EQUAL TO BLIND TON.
Death of Blind Prodigy Whose Mental
Faculties Puzzled Scientists.

Tommy Little, a Uniontown boy
aged II years, died at the Pennsyl-
vania institution for the blind last
week, closing the career of one of
the worlds prodigies, whose mental
faculties puzzled the leading scien-
lists of the day and whose wonderful
musical talent developed at an early
age. He was the son of Mr. and
Mrs. VIM. Little, who still reside at
Uniontown.
At an early age the boy contract
ed a severe cold which, when leaving
him, left him sightless. He would
sit all day, day after day, in the cor
per of room, and would never speak
unless spoken to, his thoughts seem
ing always to be centred on some
great object. He was unable to help
himself in any particular. When he
was three years of age he was placed
in the institution for the blind.
Soon there was change, a strange
development of a remarkable char.
acteristic. He would oftimes repeat
and solve his sums mentally, which
attracted the attention of his attend.
ants. He would name promptly the
day of the week of any date in the
year without the aid Of calender.
If one asked him on what day of the
week will the 10th of March fall he
would answer Immediately. Or il
the order of the question be reversed
and he should be asked on what day
of the month will the fourth Sunday
of August fall, he would just as
promptly give the right answer.
How he did it is a mystery and has
puzzled the greatest scientists of
this country. He simply answered
the questions, knew he was right
and could not be persuaded other
wise, but he could not tell how he
arrived at his conclusions. In moth.
ing did Tommy develop more rapid
ly and show the possession of great
er talent than in the study of music
He had never received a lesson in
music before he went to Pittsburg,
but it was learned that he overheard
at his home teacher giving his
brother a few lessons on the piano.
Because of his superior endowments
Tommy no doubt derived more ben
eft from those lessons than his older
brother. However, he was not in the
blind asylum long before he began
to talk to the boys about notes and
keys and scales and sharps and flats
etc, and to exhibit decided liking
for music. In fact it was soon dis
covered that he had special and
marked talent for it, if he was not
really a prodigy: for he seemed to
possess intuitive knowledge of the
art. In a short time, without any
special instruction, he was able to
play creditably ON tho piano, the
melody of any simple piece of music
that was sung or played once or
twice in his presence. He could
name any chord struck on the piano
and tell the key of any piece Of mu
sic he heard played on any instru-
ment
He was taken to hear all nature Of
classical music, and could repeat
anything heard ON the piano with
out any inaccuracy whatever. Great
musicians came to see him and he
was regarded 5 uperior to blind Tom.
His intellect was too strong and
his constitution was too weak to
stand the strain of lie longer than
IL years.

Busy at the River Mines.

Speaking of the river mines. the
Elizabeth Herald says editorially;
The river mines are resuming, and
there ought to be a good fall run of
coal. There is considerable empty
craft in the river, and more to come
if the waters will permit its moving.
The stocks in the lower markets
were reduced very low before the re
cent shipment, and these will have
to make up the ordinary winter sup
ply. There is thus far no dispute
between the river miners and their
employers on the wage matter, and
there should be done. The condi-
tons generally seem to point to a
good run OF coal this fall.

To Democratic Voters.

The election law passed by the
West Virginia Legislature in 1891
was so amended by the last Legisla
ture that it will require all voters to
register and vote in the precinct in
which they may live on the day of
election. If you have not been prop
erly listed by the assessor, or if you
have changed your residence since
June the LIST, go and see that your
name appears listed in the precinct
you reside, that you may suffer no
inconvenience on the day of election.
See that your name is correctly list

Governor Mckinley is now placing
no restraints on his demagogy. He
is bound to be equal to Tom Reed
and Harrison.
His miserably forced comments. on
Congressman Wilson'sLondon speech
would be undignified in bar room
colloquy says the Republic.
Speaking as student and a states
man, Chairman Wilson said that OF
all human governments a free gov
eminent is the most complex and
difficult, land Judging from the world S
experience, the most uncertain and
shortlived And Governor McKin-
ley pretends that the words are un.
complimentary to American institu.
tons.
1t is an absolute truth that free
government is the most complex and
difficult. a despotism is the most
simple and easy.
1t is truth just as absolute that
in history free governments have
been uncertain and short lived. Such
government can be maintained only
by an exceptionally vigorous and in
tels'.,snt race.
All Of Us believe in the capacity o.
our race to hold our American insti
buttons, but no man who thinks car
be indifferent to the dangers that be
set the course of freedom.
Mr.. Wilson spoke like patriot
and rejecting friend of humanity
Governor Mckinley spoke like q pol
itican who so distrusts America thai
he takes Americans for an unletteret
and eyil-minded rabble.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than 2 hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $1,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are proyid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
Bile price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.
A book decribing the trip to the
Grand Canon, illustrated by many
full-page photographs, from especial
engravings and furnishing all needful
information, may be obtained free
upon application to Jno. J. Byrne,

An Appeal to Prejudice.

The Wheeling News, an independ-

booming any aspirant for political
honors, has the following quite sen
sible, just and true paragraph:
The studied effort to make polit-
zeal capital out of the banquet ten
dered Hon. VIM. L. Wilson by the
London chamber of commerce will
not have a great effect among Mr..
Wilson's friends and constituent s,
who know the high and spotless hon
esty of the man whom they have hon
ored SO often. From the standpoint
of the shrewd politician, Mr. Wilson
might have acted more wisely than
in accepting the banquet; but wheth-
er Mr.. Wilson is banqueted once OF
a score of times has not the remotest
bearing upon the issues Of the cam
paign in the Second district.
