~CuRiOSITieS OF SEEING.

Remarkable Experiment. Which show
How Easily the Eye Is Deceived.
Some very remarkable experiments,
which any a with a little care. may
repeat tor himself, have recently been
made ON the perspective effects of color.
If On a screen of black velvet placed
sboat 10 feet away large letters are
pasted, some blue and some red. the let
tiers will not appear to be at an equal
distance from the eyes. To some per-
sOns the red letters will seem nearer
than the blue letters. while to Others
The contrary effect will be manifested
the blue letters appearing nearer than
the red ones.
To produce this curious effect both
ewes must be used. When one eye is
closed. the letters are ali seen at the
same distance. On opening the other
eve one set of letters Immediately APP
pears to take a position IN advance of
the others.
The explanation offered is that a sort
of stereoscopic effect is reduced III thu
eve itself, depending on color. The i'm

eye toward one side. and hat of a red
object toward the 9th r side, the aus

both pupils at n same time. If On

IL you screen the pupils on the side

Mr.. Richard Grant. Secretary of the

the matter as yet. He had received no

accept Lord Dunraven's challenge upon
the mutually fair conditions he suggests,
yacht would be built forthwith to con-

HIGHER PRICES FOR NEGR0s.
Restaurant Keeper Evades the Law
and Draws the Color Line.

Since the civil rights act was passed
by the Indiana Legislature some of the
leading hotel and restaurant proprietors
have been at their wits end to devise
ways and means to refuse accommoda-
tions to colored people without violating
the law, which requires that any per-
son who offers to pay shall be served
without regard to color.
A restaurant man in this city, under
standing that he had the rignt to charge
as much as he pleased for his goods,
struck a plan which he finds works pret-
ty successfully, though with some little
embarrassments. He had a special bill
of fare printed on which the prices of
articles were made SO high that it was
believed no person would care to pay
and could therefore be refused service.
Coffee was 81 per cup and everything
else in proportion.
The plan worked well. Every time a
colored man would come in the waiter
would hand him the bill and glance at
it would suffice. The other day, however
the usual order was broken when we'll

bag on the floor and took a seat at the

"special'' bill of fare. He looked over

"Give me a porterhouse steak with to-
matoe sauce, some French fried pota-
toes, sliced tomatoes, slice of water
melon and cup of coffee"
The waiter was aStounded. The man

A CHANCE FOR DR.. GIBBONS.

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. %, 1Ss4.-It was
suggested today about the Capitol de-
partments that there was nothing in
the electrical electrocution law which
would prevent Warden Stout of Auburn
Prison from appointing DR.. Gibbons of
Syracuse as one of the witnesses to the
Wilson execution.
If DR.. Gibbons was a witness he couid
be designated as'one of the physicians
to make the post-mortem examination
and there is nothing in the law which
would prohibit his asserting, before the
autopsy. by using his apparatus, whether
or not Wilson was dead. OF course If it
was found that Wilson was not dead
he would have to be placed in the chair
again and the current shot through him
until life became extinct.

FLOUR MILLS SHUT DOWN.

mill in this city has closed down for an

the millers is that the market is glutted

ton is taken by local dealers, who point
to the fact that the mills are suddenly
closed at time when the question of
cheaper bread is being vigorously agitat-
ed by the newspapers. So much fraud IN
the sale of bread has been discovered that

He was standing on the extreme for
ward part of the bow, on the side where
the big ferryboat struck.

ashore. 1.-THE fog, which had been so
dense early in the morning had entire

"As there is only one slip now in use
on the New York shore-the other now

she came opposite the slip the pliot

views of all who were in position TO
observe the situation at the time OF the

No expert could be found who Wouio
venture a guess as to the amount OF
damage done to the handsome ferryboat.
Mr.. jackson said it would be very serl-

hull had been injured.
About $4,000 was regarded as a moder-
ate estimate. One singular coincidence
was remarked by passengers, that this
boat carried many who were on the
Orange express about a year ago when
the disaster occurred in the marshes by
the Hackensack River bridge, where
number of passengers were killed by
rear end collision in the fog between an
express train and local
One man said he guessed that trip was

The great hole in the boat suggested
to all who examined it that some one
might have been knocked overheard un-
conscious and drowned during the excite
nent that followed the crash of timbers.
Mr. jackson and others who sat in that
part of the boat, though admitting that
their thoughts about their personal safety
pretty much occupied their attention at
the instant, expressed the belief that no
one had been knocked overheard and
drowned.

WASHINGTON, Nov. %, 1694.-Captain
Henry w. Howgate, formerly Disburs-
ing officer of the Signal Corps, is held
in the District Jail awaiting trial upon
charges of forgery and embezzling large
sums of money while holding Office many
years ago AS he was a fugitive from
Justice and was arrested upon old in
dictments it was not thought necessary
to again bring the charges before the
Grand Jury.
Tomorrow is the day fixed to hear
arguments on demurrer to the old in
dictments. 1t is believed at the City
Hall that the old indictments will be de-
clared defective. Should this be the
case there is every probability that How
gate will be released and the prosecu-
ton dropped So long a time has elapsed
since the alleged crimes were committed
that the prosecution has not only to
combat the statute of limitations on
new indictments, but most of the wit
nesses are dead or absent and it IS
doubtful if a case can be made out be-
fore the Grand Jury.
Mr. A. S. Worthington, who is coun-
sci for Howgate, was the District Attor-
ney under whose supervision the original
indictments were drawn and naturally
is in a position to know all the weak
points in the instruments.
An effort will probably be made to
bring the matter before the Grand Jury
today and secure some action that will
hold Howgate in case the Court sus-
tains the demurrers to the old ind1ct-
