RECOVERED HIS SIGHT.
Remarkable Case of blindness as Won
derfully Cured as Caused.

NomsFAaDIe Ce10 OF blindness oB W0ns
| derfully Cured as Caused.
A most remarkable case is reported
from Montgomery, Fayette county, Pa.
the heart Of the Kanawha coal region
ABOUT four years ago John Carney, an
honest and Woodworking miner, was
suddenly stricken blind while at his
work In the mines. The eyes gave no
indication OF weakness, SO far as casual
observance would indicate. They re-
tanned their brightness and the muscles
showed no sign of paralysis or weak
ness The effect of the sudden shock
was as though the optic nerve had been
severed.
Among Carncy's friends was Mayor
j. G. Montgomery, who believed the
loss of sight was due to mental
change rather than physical disabil-
ity and that by mental effort it could
be again restored. Montgomery had in
his earlier days seen something of the
powers of mesmerism and had prac-
ticed it somewhat for his private amuse-
ment. The first test on Carney was
made one day unbelnown to him, while
he lay on couch in his home. Mont.
gomery concentrated his entire force
of will upon desire that his friend
should see. Carney became restless,
declared some one was in the room
with him and, when repeatedly assured
that there was not, became so excited
that he jumped from the couch and ex-
claimed: you've lied to me; there's
Montgomery" In the intense mental
strain he had gained flashing vision
OF the room and its occupants, and the
theory of Montgomery was confirmed.
The experiments were continued every
day by mutual consent, until at the end
OF two weeks Carney was able to see a
little all the time, even when Mont
gomery was absent.
After several days more of persistent
effort on the part of the mesmerist and
the afflicted man, Carney declared he
could sec as well as ever, and declared
his Intention of going to work. This
he did last Wednesday, and he sees as
we'll as ever in his life. His eyesight is
permanently and perfectly
restored

Are We "Chumpss"

In a recent issue the London Times
stated in part the position of those
who dominate the financial policy Of
Great Britain. 1t said:

lists to understand that there is quite
large number of us for whom a gen.
eral rise in prices has no charms
whatever. We like them low. and the
lower the better. If they all wen,
down to half their present figures we
should rejoice, because we have moth
ing to sell and a great many things to
BUY. For those who have things to
sell we do not feel any great con-
Germ.
England opposes the RECOMMENDATION
OF silver not only for the reasons here
stated, but also for the reason that she
is the leading creditor nation of the
world. A little more than two years
ago Mr.. Gladstone said in tho house
OF commons that other countries were
her debtor to the extent of f2,OOO,-
100000 or about $40, 200, 900, 900. A
creditor, and at the same time, so far
as many indispensable commodities
are concerned, a buying and not a
selling nation, it is only natural that
England, rejecting the sentiment and
conserving the interests of her ruling
class, should insist upon the mainten-
ance OF the gold standard. Under this
standard the silver, wheat and cotton
which she must buy from other coun-
tries are steadily becoming cheaper,
and inc gold which her creditors re-
ceive from their foreign debtors is
constantly increasing in value.
1t is great and daily increasing ad-
vantage to her, and, setting aside the
welfare OF those of her citizens who
are engaged in agriculture, manufact-
uring and wage-earning, she would be
foolish to part with it. While she re-
talns 1t andIthe other leading com
mercial nations do the same she will
be enabled to every year extort more
and more tribute from the remainder
of the world.
AS the United States is the greatest
debtor nation on the globe and a seller
instead OF a buyer of silver, wheat and
cotton, the interests of it's people de-
mand money system different from
that OF England. The latter's oppo-
sltion to the restoration of silver, be-
cause it would increase the prices of
what the United States produces and
sells while simultaneously checking
,he appreciation of gold, supplies an
reason why this country
should re-establish bimetallism.
Great Britain cannot be blamed for
;heapening our products for her own
benefit. But we are blameable for
permitting her. If it is to her inter-
'st to buy in the cheapest market, and
t is, 1t is to ours to sell in the dearest.
She now gets our silver for 20 cents
IN ounce. our wheat for 60 cents a
'ushel, and our cotton for z cents a
pound. 1t is is in our power by re-
nonetizing the white metal, to make
Ter pay $1.29 for silver, 1926 for
wheat, and 10 to Is cents for cotton.
We're England in possession of this
,ower, and producer and seller of
liver, the power would not remain
lnexercised. 1t would be promptly
xerted. That we do not WELD it is
n uncomplimentary commentary up
n our gumption. Foreign money
hangers must quietly smile when
hey contrast our performances with
ur Wanted intelligence.-Telegraph,

ELEVATED BICYCLE ROADS.
Demand Said to Exist for Such Structures
in Large Cities.

In Large Cities.
The proposed building of an elevated
bicycle road between Chicago and Mil.
'yaukee, distance of cighty-flve miles
says the Engineering News, is an in.
dication of the Importance the "wheer
is assuming us means of transport.
IN many localities it is already inter.
fering with the income of trolley
| suburban lines almost as much as
these lines have affected the traffic on
steam railways. In large cities special
streets are now set apart for BICYCLES
and suitable smooth roadway is pro-
vided; in other cases petitions are
being actively circulated asking that
such facilities be provided. The wheel,
IN fact, has superseded horses in great
part, and the speed obtainable makes
1t formidable rival to electric or other
mechanical means of transport over
considerable distances.
The Engineering News is not pre-
pared to say how many bicycles are
now used by the men of New York CITY
and vicinity In reaching their places of
business, but finds it safe to say that
AGA ~ 90 Vic AuluUCT Is IL would be vast
ly increased with smooth, direct and
unobstructed roadway provided espe-
cially Tor this class of travellers.
There should be round profit in an
elevated bicycle road, the Engineering
News says, extending from beyond tho
Harlem to the Battery In New York
for the enterprising capitalists who
first secure the right to build it. It
would be cheap road to construct, for
the maximum load would be very lipht
on an eight-foot or ten-foot wide
structure carried on posts on each sid G
OF the street. 1t would be the least OBJ
Jectionable of all roadways in opera
ton, for there would literally be no
noise and no dirt, and as the wear upon
Its road surface from pneumatic tires
would be unappreciable the cost Of
maintenance would be equally light.
A few toll collectors and bicycle stable
masters at intervals along the line
would constitute the entire working
force.
