SHE IS AGAIN IN SCHOOL
Another Remarkable Case of Cure
Through the Eyes.
Miss May Hamilton Again Able to
Enter School by the Assistance
of Prof. SamueHs.

There is nothing more refreshing and
entertaining than to hear people, who
have long been sufferers, tell of their
sudden cure. You are at once possess
ed of their enthusiasm and borne along
on the wings of their .delig hted spirit
You can't tell just why, but it seems as if
some great weight had been suddenly
raised from your own troubled
soul That's why it's such pleasure to
interview people concerning Prof. Sam
uels.
a reporter called at 1881 Polk street and
was met at the door by Mrs. III. l. Hamil-
ton with kind invitation to step inside
As soon as his mission was made known
she lost no time in relating her story,
which was as follows: 1--WE have a
daughter, now about IA years old, who
has been very delicate all her life. She
has been constant sufferer from what
the doctors called nervousness While
not always sick, she was never quite
we'll, and was always very susceptible to
spells of sickness. She was naturally so
delicate that anything like cold would
easily PROSTATE her. Besides, she was a
frequent sufferer from headache. She
hardly ever returned from school in the
evening without complaining of her
head. We tried several doctors, all of
whom pronounced it a nervous trouble
and doctored her for that, but she never
got any better. This state of affairs had
extended over a period of several years.
Last fall when school opened we
started her to Pork school although we
were doubtful if she could stand the
strain. After a trial of three weeks, We
found we should have to take her out,
and did so. She com planned constantly
with her head, and soon grew extremely
nervous.
81 had often heard of Prof.
Samuels and his good work and
had formed a very favorable opinion
of him, but concluded to reinforce
my own judgment by talking to some
of the people whom l had heard,
through the papers. that he had cured
So, after talking with Mr. E. G. Glenn
and others, took my daughter to see
the professor. He examined her care
fully, gave her some preparation for the
eyes, a pair of glasses, and sent US home.
She began to use both and the relief was
instantaneous. The next day she started
to school and has been going ever since
That was six weeks ago and she has not
had a headache since. She is still using
The eye preparation but has discarded
the glasses. Her nervousness has
nearly disappeared and she has gained
eleven pounds in flesh. To be sure, she
and l are both highly pleased with
Prof Samuels' wonderful treatment"

"Why is it that now when the theatri-

"actors are the most Independent people

managers have to reduce expenses, good
actors will not cut their salary one iota.

Tax Sale Certincate Holders.

Judge Hazen has decided that persons
holding tax sale certificates may pay the
taxes on such property before the twenty
first of Decembe and thus avoid paying
a penalty. The amount involved in the
case decided. which was test case, was
only 90 cents. II was brought by the
Central National bank for writ of
mandamus to compel County Treasurer
F. Si. Ssahl to accept the payment of
taxes on property secured at a tax sale
before the penalty begins to run. The
suit was brought last May. The court
ruled that the treasurer is bound to &C
cept the payment If made on Dec. 30.
The former owner of the property may
have to that day to pay the taxes if he
wants TO. The custom has always been
the reverse of this, tax sale owners hav-
ing to pay penalty

THE SECOND RACE.

Although the Valkyrie came in firstSin
the second race of the series for the Anne
ricas cup, the result, when all the cir
cumstances are taken into account, only
serves to confirm the impression made by
the race of Saturday that the Defender
is the faster boat The Defender was
handicapped at the start by an accident
to her topsail which prevented the use of
all her sails and gave the Valkyrie great
advantage. Whether this accident was
due to fault on the part of the Valkyrie,
the committee has not decided at this
writing But whether the Valkyrie's fault
or the Defenders fault, or an accident
for which nobody was to blame, makes no
difference as regards the GRIPPING of the
Defender By it she was deprived of
the use of some of her sails and, of
course, was put at a disadvantage. Never
theless she was beaten by only forty
seven seconds, a very small margin. Had
it not been for the accident there is every
reason to believe that she would have
won by as large margin as on Saturday.
During the first part of the race the
wind was light, about the same as last
Saturday, but the sea was smooth. To-
wards the conclusion the wind fresh
ened, and when the yachts crossed the
line it was blowing about sixteen miles
an hour The defender isysupposed to
be better adapted to strong breeze than
the Valkyrie, but there was no fair test
on that point yesterday because of the
accident.
There is nothing in the result of yester
days race to cause any apprehension that
the cup will go to the other side If the
Defender, handicapped as she was,
came within the narrow margin OF
forty seven seconds of winning. it would
seem to follow that she can easily beat
the English boat when she is in perfect
trim. Barring accidents or bad seaman
ship-and there is very littlesdanger OF
the latter-the Defender is almost sure OF
winning the remaining races in the
SERIES

Senator Hill seems disposed to make
the enforcement of the Sunday law
against liquor selling in New York city
an issue in the coming campaign A
while ago he wrote a letter on the sub
iect in which he condemned the course OF
Commissioner Roosevelt, and his speech
at the Chemung county convention on
Saturday was in the same direction, Ii
would seem as if there wss
not much capital to be made out OF an
attack upon executive officers for doing
their sworn duty-and that is the only
offence of Commissioner Roosevelt 1t
would seem as if intelligent and law
abiding people would vote to sustain an
officer who had done his duty, irrespective
of their opinion of the particular law in
question. Nevertheless right here in the
ciUy of Portland, as intelligent and law
abiding community as can be found
in the laud, an executive officer ran
nearly 500 votes behind his ticket simply
because he had enforced the prohibltory
aw. 1t is rot safe to conclude therefore
that Senator HIPS crusade against officers
for enforcing the law is going to meet
with the fate it deserves.

While manufacturing industries are
undoubtedly in much better condition
than year ago, while labor is generally
better employed and at somewhat better
wages, and while there are very encourag
ing symptoms in the general business
situation, there is little sign of improve
ment in agriculture, especially IN the
West. The corn crop, to be sure, is ex-
oeedingly abundant, but the price is SO
low that it is doubtful If the farmers
realize as much for it as for last year
much smaller crop, But the wheat crop
is not only short but the price is exceed
ingly low. The estimate of the Depart
ment of Agriculture places it at AGO. 0O
900 bushels which is more than 200, GOO,
oo0 bushels less than in 1891, while the
price is far below the price OF that year.
And while there is scarcity and low
nriees at home there is abundance abroad
The crops in France, Italy, Germany and
Russia are reported to be excellent. Hence
there is little hope that there Will be any
demand for American wheat abroad
sufficient to raise its price. Whether per-
manent prosperity is possible in this
country while the staples of agriculture
remain at as low figure as
low is serious question. Agriculture
is the chief basis OF American prosperity,
and with that depressed it may we'll be
doubted if other industries can long re-
main prosperous.

The Florida legislature has passed the
following act. known as tho Sheats law
because it was originated by the Superin-
tendent of Public Schools, whose name
is Sheats:
Section I. 1t shall be penal offense
for any individual, body OF 1nhabltants,
corporation or association. to conduct
within this State any school OF any grade
public, private or parochial, wherein
white persons and negroes shall be in
structed or boarded within the same
building or taught in the same class, or
at the same time by the same teachers.
Section II. Any person or persons
violating the provisions OF Section OF
this act, by patronizing or teachlng ID
such school shall, on conviction Thereon
be fined in a sum not less than Sloo nor
more than $500, or be imprisoned IN the
county Jail for not less than three months
nor more than six months, for every such
offense
The law is aimed especially against a
private school established by the Ameri-
can missionary association and chiefly
supported by Northern benevolence. An
other purpose OF the law is TO deprive
counties having a large negro population
of the school fund, in order that those
counties whose school population Is
composed largely of white children may
receive larger benefits. Representative
Southern mon are constantly protesting
that they have nothing but the kindest
feelings for the negro, and wish him
well in everything but politics But here
is an attempt, and in a state too that
has received considerable Northern emf
grafton, to deprive him of the opportun-
ity of becoming educated and thereby i'm

are accustomed to stigmatize as belong
