A sTYE ON TIE EYE.
Something About AN Annoying Affection

Something About Annoying Affection
and Directions How to Treat II.
Youths Companion.
Stye is an affection of the margin of
the eyelid. With the first appearance
the entire lid becomes swollen and
painful, and the inflammation may in
crease until the whole side of the face
becomes involved.
This indammatory period usually
lasts three or four days At the end of
that time the inflammation may sub
side gradually; but in most cases a
minute point appears near the edge of
the lid which has every appearance of
being what stye really is--a minute
boil.
The swelling and pain caused by a
stye are relieved by nothing so we'll as
by heat, and upon the first appearance

like pure vaseline, along the edge of
both lids, in order that they may not
become glued together in sleep. Salt
pork and similar old-fashioned rene
dies are of no avail, and should not be
resorted to.
Immediately upon the appearance of
pointing, the skin at the summit of the
elevation should be punctured with
the point of needle, OF better still, a
little slit may be made with sharp
knife. This will allow the matter,
and especially the stagnant blood, to
escape. We may use pressure to
squeeze out this waste material, but
only very gently, since it is useless to
attempt TO expel the core of the boil
until it has thoroughly detached itself
from its connection with the surround
ing healthy parts.
When the core has finally fully sepa
rated, it can be easily removed and
frequent attempts should be made until
this has been accomplished. A little
vaseline is all that will then be needed
to establish complete recovery.
If there appears to be a disposition
to repetition of the annoyance, the
family doctor should be consulted, as
internal treatment is called for.
Perhaps the worst feature about a
stye is the fact that in some persons
the occurrence Of one attaet seems to
establish tendency, so that often such
comparatively short time elapses
between the successive sttacts that
the lid becomes chemically infamed
In this event it is especially advisable
to consult doctor.

ing by touching tine lid with caustic.

NEW PARK LANDS.
Discussion Over the Proposed Purchase of
Additional Property.

Additional Property.
An adjourned meeting of City Coun-
ell was held Friday night for the pur-
pose OF considering the purchase of adj
ditional park lands, as suggested by the
Board of Park Commissioners. Park
Superintendent Leisen and Commission
er Mention were at the meeting.
1t was stated that the plot Of ground
bounded by Rodney, du Pont streets,
Lowering and Shallcross avenues can be
purchased for $40, 800. One plot is
422x300 feet in area, the property of the
Hartmann & Fehrenbach Brewing CO.. =,
and is offered for S12, 000 The other,
owned by James Bradford and William
Candy, is 195x300 feet in area and is
held at $500. Included in this terri
tory is the Rosendale Park property and
lots adjoining on tho west. II the prop
erty is purchased which is altogether
likely, du Pont street below Shall
cross avenue, will be abandoned in order
to get away from the i. & o. grade
crossing at the intersection of the two
thoroughfares. Another street, new
one block in length, will be cut
through west Of du Pont and running
north from Shallcross avenue. Blue
prints were examined by the council
men.
In addition to the small track for the
park drive at West street, which has
been thoroughly dicussed, there are
also two lots-one about 150x50 ana the
other about l50x75 feet in area on Rock
ford road. The city owns all around
them and possession Is desired in order
to get private property out of Rock
ford Park. One lot belongs to John
Hutton and the other to the Berry
estate

Two Surprises Await the students OF Thu
Institution on Their Return Nexr Week

Two Surprises Await the Students OF This
Institution on Their Return Next Week.
Two surprises await old students on
their return to Goldey Wilmington
Commercial and. Shorthand College,
located at Eighth and Market streets.
One great improvement in the rooms,
made by busy workmen during vaca-
tion, and the other radical change
and wonderful improvement in the
method of teaching bookkeeping and
business forms and customs.
A magnificent hall, the full length of
the Institute Building, is now made
possible by the new sliding glass par
titions placed on the second floor,
where the commercial department of
the college is located A cosy new
Office and elegantly furnished enlarged
reception room are also among the
improvements.
Ii there are any school rooms any
where in this country that are brighter
and more cheerful than those of this
college the writer has not heard of
them. Anyone, however, who has seen
the magnificent catalogue (actually
one of the finest school catalogues in
the world) is not surprised at the
above statement, for it is all in keeping
with the enterprise that has ever char
acterized the management of this we'll
known institution.
Goldey College has been blessing
to a host of young men and young
women in quickly putting them in the
way of self-support and success through
its business and shorthand courses.
The new bookkeeping method largely
dispenses with the text book and does
more for the student in week than
the text book method in month,
The night students will also have
the benefit of the new method.
The day sessions Of the college are
resumed on Monday next, September
I'd, and the evening sessions begin on
Monday, September Both.
So widely extended has the reputa-
tion of Goldey College become that APP
plications have been received during
the summer for its catalogue from
eight or more States, and from the
cities of Pittsburg, Philadelphia and
New York.
The practical subjects taught at the
college are: Bookkeeping, banking,
business calculations, business penman-
ship Thy professional penman), bust
ness spelling, practical grammar, quick
calculations, commercial law, short.

He Escapes Collision with a Dog, hut is
Thrown Violently to the Pavement.
A local wheelman was riding down
Market street on Friday afternoon at a
rapid pace, and when between Sixth
and Fifth large dog started across the
street in front Of him. The rider did
not see the dog until he was right
up on it and he threw his wheel toward
the west side curb to escape striking
the dog.
The wheel just escaped striking the
animal, but wheel and rider were
thrown violently against the curb.
The wheelman chung to an awning post
and the wheel lay in heap at his feet.
Fortunately the rider was not much
hurt and, while the wheel was twisted
considerably, it was soon made ridable
and the owner remounted and went on
his way, after assuring himself that
neither he nor the wheel were seriously
injured.
If the wheel had struck the dog the
rider would have been thrown head
long to the hard street and the result
might have been serious.

New York, Aug. 31.--There was an
interesting race between the American
Line steamer St. Louis and the Ham
burg American steamer Augusta Vic
toria for the last 100 miles of the pass
age from Southampton.
The st. Louis overhauled the German
boat and at 1852 a. M, both vessels
crossed the bar. The American liner
was some lengths ahead when the race
ended at Quarantine. Through a mis-.
take the Augusta Victoria was boarded
and cleared first by health officer
and started for her pier half an hour
before the st. Louis. The passengers
on the latter were indignant. 1t s said
that the steering gear of the ST, Louis
gave out when she was nearing Sandy
Hook, and it was necessary to steer the
ship with her twin propeilers for u
time.
The ships officers refused to confirm
or deny this story, but number of PAS
