A BLIND SURGEON.
He Performs Delicate and Danger

Boston Cor. Hartford Times.

Boston Cor. Hartford Times.
When DR.. James r. Cooke. of 1873 Hun
tington avenue, was two months old both
of his eyes were ruined by a laundering
doctor. who administered wrong medi-
cine. Since then he has been totally blind
He is now thirty-two years of age, and
he is consulted in difficult cases by the
most eminent of the regular physicians
OF Boston. He has performed recently two
very difficult and delicate surgical opera
uons and in both cases the patients are
doing well. He locates a disease by his
sensitive touch. and he tells the color of
goods in the same way, singular as it
may appear. A lady who had eight or ten
samples OF dress goods, each about three
inches square, handed them to DIR. Cooke
the other day, and he at once told accu-
rately the color and even the shade of
color of each. and selected the samples
of the best quality. When. handed several
national bank and government currency
bills, he at once told the denomination of
each and the color. whether green or
black. he tells the complexion of a per-
son by touching the skin. 1t is difficult
to believe that a blind man could do this
but he is seen to do it, and accurately.
too.
DR. Cooke went among Buffalo Burs
Indians the other day and designated their
character by their voices, spoken in the
Indian dialect. He has three diplomas from
colleges of this and foreign countries, and
four certificates of commentator from
institutions where he has taken special
courses of study. He went through
course of study under the famous Dr.
Weir Mitchell.
Before Dr. Cooke was q years of age
he was employed by a large tobacco house
to select the raw tobacco for them. He
meyer failed in getting the best quality,
ana the most desirable color-all by the
touch. From this source he earned over
5000 which paid his expenses al the
university in Tennessee, where he stood
at the head of his class. From the Ten
nessee University he entered a medical
school, where he was ito the fore" ali
through the class. He has taken special
studies in five other institutions, part OF
them in Europe. To attain all that this
remarkable man has accomplished in the
higher classics and professional studies
of the colleges required a large and firmly
knit brain, perseverance and self-reliance
to an unusual degree.

the property of the state. His. Office was
at Marietta. He wanted to lay out a
town south of Marietta for the southern
terminus Of the states railroad. Travel
ing through the country he was Impress
ed with the advantages which the site of
the present city OF Atlanta afforded. He
was the property of Samuel Mitchell, a
prominent and well to do citizen of Pike
county. He. wrote to Mr. Mitchell to Wis
II him at Marietta, with a view to buy
ing the property. Mr.. Mitchell called on
him shortly afterward and the result
was that Mr.. Lumpkin purchased suffl-
cient land for the commencing of the lit
tie town. The question Of naming At
lanta was taken up and 1T was suggested
by Gov. Lumpkin's associates that the
place be called after him, Lumpkin.
Against this he strenuousy protested,
saying that there was already a county
in the state named for him, as we'll as
small town., He suggested that the new
town be called Mitchell. A few days af-
forwards he was informed that the city
had been named Marthasville, Tor his
pretty young daughter. BY that name IL
was known for several years, until the
name was changed to Atlanta. Gov.
Lumpkin was very angry because of the
change, but stated that it did not matter,
as the honor had certainly not been
sought by any member Of his family. IL
is a rather remarkable coincidence that
Mrs. Campton should bear both of the
names by which that city has been nam
ed. One of her names is ATLANTA. and
there is an interesting story connected
with the way in which 1t was given her.
When she was a child of eight months
she was left standing on sill where a
new house was being built. Although she
was quite young, instinct warned her
that the only way of, saving her life was
to walk and she walked: From that Incl
dent her father gave her the name of
ATLANTA, the goddess of swiftness. 1t is
by the merest coincidence that she hap
pened to possess a name so nearly like
the one afterwards selected for this city,
as Atlanta was not named for her.

LESS DRINKING.
The following is from the Presby-
terian;
There Is a bit of testimony in re.
gard TO drinking habits which has
come lately from one OF the journ'
ais representing the liquor interests
in New York and vicinity which is
cheering, Men do not drink as
much as they did formerly, and do
not drink as much Of very 6ery IL
quors. The most striking proof Of
this fact Is that at some fashlona-
bic 'bars" where there were three
bar tenders only one Is now requlra
ed. IL Is also said on the same
authority that men do not begin to
drink as early in the day as lSrmer'
ly, postponing their potatlons to
the after dinner hours, and contln'
ulng them into the night The
drinking habit Is a suicidal onei II Is
a comfort to know that It Is not
quite 80 dominant and destructive
as IL once was. The change is max
ing a distinct impression on the
profits of hotel keepers.
