What Happened Five Years Ago to a
Prominent Lady in Ashton, III.

A Capital reporter was out yesterday
looking for news. And when he is
looking, it's cold day when he doesn't
find any. Yesterday was not cold, One
place at which he stopped was 423 Kan
sas avenue. where Mr.. f. {. Glenn runs
The Fair" store. Mr.. Glenn is pleas
ant gentleman and always talks interest
ingly, but especially so yesterday. He
had something in eresting to talk about
Yes said he. II have a story to re-
late which is both newsy and interesting.
l have sister-in-law now living at Ashton,
Ill, who has had some painful and Won
derful experiments. She Is now over 5O
years old and ever since | have known
her, which is about thirty years, she has
been an invalid, until five years ago.
Her trouble was all caused from nervous
arrangement. But her case was bad
one. She was never well and a large
part of the time was confined 10 her bed.
l remember she came on the train to visi!
me once and when she arrived she was
completely overcome and didn't recover
for several days, although the dis ance
was only nine miles. A split ing head
ache was her constant companion and ia
fact the word invalid is the only one to
express her condition. OF course she
WAS doctored year in and year cut. Her
husband being in good circumstances,
no expense was spared in hiring h. besi
physicians obtainab.e. But they accom-
plished absolutely nothing.
About five years ago Prof. Samuels
came Rock ford, not far DIS ant, and
my brother heard of him. After short
respondence he had the professor
call on his wife. The case was pronounc
ed a nervous one and the treatment be-
gan through the eyes The result was
marvellous. Something over year ago
] Vas in Ashton TO attend my brothers
funeral and I could hardly believe my
own eyes when I saw his wife. Her
whole appearance indicated different
woman entirely. Brighter, more fleshy
and that look of constant suffering en-
tirely gone, She told me the wellest
days of her life had been since she was
cured by Prof. Samuels; and her praise
of his skill was unboupded. Since that
time my wife has visited there and bring s
this same report as to her health and
praise of the professor. The sad part Of
the whole affair is that during SO much
of her married life she was an Invalid
and Just as she began to be able to enjoy
life my brother died"
The above facts were related cheer
fully with the hope that others similarly
affi cted might be benefited. The lady,
Mrs. c. G. Glenu, may be addressed at
Ashton, ILL.,, for a confirmation of the
above facts Prof. Samuels cures ner-
vous trouble through the eyes because
the brain, the center of the nervous sys-
TEN, is more easily reached in that direc-
ton. His permanent office is at Gus Kan
sas avenue, over the Hub Clothing store.

DISCUSSING the question of local op
ton in connection with the liquor traffic
the Denver Republican says: "If local
option is a good thing, where is it to
stop? If each municipality should be
given the right to decide by majority
vote whether the sale of intoxicants must
be permitted or prohibited on Sunday,
why should not each individual be al
lowed to settle the saloon question for
himself?" In as much as cities have never
been conceded sovereign powers in this
country the suggestion of the Republi-
can is logical one. AS long as cities
are part Of the state they should not be
permitted to establish regulations differ
ing from those of other cities.

The Estate of the Great Naturalist Now
BEING Cut Into Bui.ding Lo;s.
NFw YORK Oct 2G-That great MAJ
uralist whose studies of the birds Of
North America immortalized his name
is not forgotten in the neighborhood
where he lived and died, even though
it was a corner of New ork city that is
growing buster and more thickly settled
year by year, and even though it was IS
long ago as 1851 that he died.
It was at the foot of what is now One
Hundred and Fifty-fft street, on the
shore of the Hudson river, that the old
Audubon mansion was built in 1S43.
Audubon was man of wealth and
owned u fine estate. running from Tenth
avenue to the river and from One Hun
dred and Fifty-ffth street to One Hun
bred and Fifty-eighth. It was a beauti-
full part of Washington Heights, and
the house that adorned it, though it
seems plain enough now, was an elegant
one for its time. 1t stands on low
ground some 800 feet back from the
river, with the hills behind it, and is
surrounded by a grove Of noble forest
trees. a we'll kept lawn stretches al
most to the river bank, though rail
rD1u cuts OH us edR6, ana the place Is
kept i'll beautiful order, being the resi-
dence now of ex-Mayor Tiemann. His
grounds, however, form only a small
part of what is still known in a general
way as Audubon park. though it is no
park, but has been cut up into building
plots and sold, piecemeal, while several
streets have also been cut through it.
On the river side the trees have been
mostly spared, SO the word park
seems applicable enough.
OF the Audubon family there are
number Of descendants living, two of
whom are teaching school in the city,
while the others are scattered i'll various
parts Of the world. OF the estate, how
ever. nothing remains to them excepting
a narrow strip which was curiously
overlooked in the partition sale. The
fact was discovered by accident recently,
and there is possibility that the en-
HANGED value of the land may some day
make the discovery valuable.

RUSSIA Is attracting consider
able attention in the financial
world lust at present by virtue OF
the order recently issued for coin
ing 100000 roubles in gold
and 25.OOO,OOO roubles in silver
in addition to the subsidi-
airy coinage. This means, reduc-
ing the terms to American
equivalents. an addition OF about
$77.OOO.OOO to the gold coinage
and OF something over 100000
to the silver coinage. The amount
of gold to be coined is more than
ten times that coined during the
last four years, while the amount
OF silver 10 be coined falls but little
short OF that minted during the
same period. The coinage project
Is attributed by some to the policy
Of preparing for the redemption of
the paper money, but it is not un-
likely that the increase in the sill
yer coinage may be intended to
meet the extension OF Russian trade |
among the silver-using countries of
the Far East.
