A Blind Mans Million. Dollar Offer
A Western hypnotist, whose name
is kept a secret for the present, has
agreed with Charles Broadway
Rouss, a millionaire merchant of
New York, to restore his eyesight.
The hypnotlst has made arrange.
ments to prove his powers on John
Martin, blind man, who, as a sub
stitute for Mr.. Rouss, was recently
tortured with needles by quack.
81 am too busy a man." said Nh,
Rouss, "to allow myself to be ex-
perimented on by every one who
comes along. That is why l have
engaged Mr.. Martin as a substitute.
As his atfliction is identical with my
own, l presume that the man who
can restore his sight can do as much
for me.
The hypnotlst who bas been
recommended TO me has, l am in
formed, cured two Chicago men who
had been blind for several years.
They suffered from paralysis of the
optic nerve, which is my trouble.
I will give 81, 100000 to the hyp
notist, or any other man, who will
restore my sight. l will walk out
of my store and hand him the keys.
He will be welcome to this ten story
building and everything that is in it.
NV sight is now almost entirely
gone. If it were not for your voice
could not tell whether I was talk
ing to man or woman. The only
thing visible to be this moment are
those huge pillars. l can just dis
cern their hazy outlines" and MIR
Rouss pointed to the supports di
rectly before him.

business and have accumulated
wealth, but to get back my eyesigh
I would gladly return to the poverty
of my boyhood, and as an old mar
begin life over again. I have ex
perimented with many cures and an
willing through my substitute,to tr.
with many more. 1 have strong
hopes that the hypnotist will be abl
to do what he claims he can.

President Charles Dole is not the first
great college president or great educa-
tor who has been outspoken in praise
of Paine's celery compound.
The detailed and convincing testimon-
ials OF President Cook of the National
Teachers Association, is fresh in the
public mind.
One of the foremost educators in
America, Principal l.. l.. Camp OF the
Dwight School, New Haven, has called
Paine's celery compound the greatest
invigorator in existence.
Such men as State Treasurer Colvin
of New York. Mr.. Carlisle's private
secretary, Mayor McShane of Montreal,
Rev. FIR. Ouellet. Commodore Howell.
ex-Minister TO Austria, John NJ. Fran
els, Edmund Russell. and host of 9TH
ers whose characters and learning are
recognized by the world, have publicly
stated that when they were sick il was
Paine's celery compound that made
them well.
Thousands of equally responsible,
though perhaps less widely known. men
and women, whose word in their own
cities and towns is as good as the best
in the land, have testified TO the merits
of this, the greatest of all remedies.

STORY CT 'OsTLER JOE
Why Samnel IL. Clay is Seeking a Divorce
From His Wife, Mary,

Denver, Col, Feb. 2S.-The little story
about 'OStler Joe has again been re-
peated in real life. Samuel H CLAW is
the head Of a profitable dairy business
at Globeville. Six years ago he was in
need of an assistant and so he found a
wife. For five years Sam and Mary got
along very nicely. Laura Estelle Clay
was the first arrival in the family four
years ago, and two years later Bessie
May Clay was added to the family
roster.
In the conduct Of his business OF pur-
veyor of tactical fluid to aristocratic
families, Samuel was necessarily away
from home much of the time. SO great
did his business become that he employ
ed Abraham Bennett to look after the
stable and do chores about the place.
Abe's advent into the house of Clay was
illomened. Mrs. Clay, lacking the low
ing careSSeS of a husband, owing to his
habit of getting up at o'clock in the
morning and driving about the city I'M
til dusk, yielded to the wiles of the
festive boss of the stables Abe had
lots Of time on his hands and amply
illustrated the saying that ''an idle
brain is the devils workshop"
Soon an unWise intimacy Sprang up
between mistress and man, and Mary
was charged with shortness of memory
regarding certain marriage VOWS to the
absent Samuel The result was that
last December-on Christmas eve-she
departed with her hostler admiTer, TAX
ing with her the younger child. Now
Samuel wants a divorce and he has so
petitiOned the district court.

follow the example of the four mines
named. on account of a majority of the
rnine-owners being located in that city.
Incidental TO the building of the rail-
road viii be the erection OF electrical
and chlorina ton process mills in Colo
RADIO City for the special treatment or
IoIr-grade ores. The new line will
run by these works on its route to Sa-
Ida Already the management OF the
proposed electrical process mill has
been doing experimental work on ores
not profitdbly amenable 10 ordinary
treatment by stamping or smelling
small concern with a miniature plant
is now in operation near the Rio Grand
shops at Burnham. One Of the men
interested in It is W. 6. Mckinley of
Colorado Springs. Two other sets Of
capitalists are said TO have expressed
their intention TO start cynaniGe and
chlorinatiOn works in Colorado City
as soon a. the c. s. c. c. and w. shows
substantial indications Of becoming an
assured fact This means that very
low grade ores which are now neglec-
ted viii be in brisk demand and given
special attention, as shipping charges
on them can be reduced 10 minimum
schedule. 1t is estimated that when
10 500 tons of low grade ore day can
be reduced in Colorado City.
Passenger traffic is also expected TO
materially swell the profits accruing to
the promoters Of the latest Colorado
railway enterprise. The Colorado
Springs, Cripple Creek and Western
intends 10 give other connecting lines
a lively hustle for the passenger bust
ness between Colorado Springs and
the big gold camp. As theirs will be
a short line in the fullest sense Of the
term, the managers Of the company
look TO having a walk-OVer in the pas
senger competition.
According to their plans the extent
Of the line from the initial terminus
into Cripple Creek will be only 25 miles
Trains are scheduled to make the trip
within a limit of an hour and a half.
Surveys for a route have already
been made. The one most favored
will follow Bear creek, and if this be
finally adopted, the cog system must be
brought into use for short section of
the way. Other surveys lengthen the
route a little, but obviate the use Of a
cog system.
1t is claimed that the company's civ
il engineers have demonstrated that
IllC IOdu tdll D- WIN d max
imum grade of 3 per cent. The mini
mum curVeture calculated upon is u
degrees. Broad gauge cars can be
hauled over the road at a speed of 80
miles an hour, it is claimed Con-
nections viii be made with all the roads
that center in Colorado Springs. 1t
is probable that the extension from
Cripple Creek to Salida will not be
built until after the section between
the former town and Colorado Springs
has demonstrated itself to be a pay
ing proposition. Spurs and branches
will be run TO all the big mines in the
Cripple Creek district, so that the Col
Orado Springs, Cripple Creek and Yves
tern will be in a better position to haul
ore than any Of its rivals. 1t is said
that 100000 will be subscribed to the
project in Colorado Springs alone.

"A Paris advertising agent, who re-

Cycling is one of the amusements

is used. the wheels of which are so ar.
ranged that the actual speed is indi.

give audible signals at various speeds.
1t has often been published that
the largest tax payer in the world is

founder of ESSEN But it appears that
he is eclipsed as a contributor TO the
revenue of the state by a Roumanian
brewer. n. Marinesco Bragadir. whose

A new safety cartridge for mines
where the fame of the explosive is
dangerous is in use at the colheries at
Polish OstI1u, in Austria. A quick
lime and a dynamite cartridge are con-
nected, so that the slaked lime heats
n primer sufficiently to fire off the
decorator embedded in the dynamite.
The compound cartridge is inclosed in
n bag Of loose cotton, woven like a
wick. The experiments were made In
a gallery containing seven Per cent OF
methane and a great deal of coal dust
that was kept in motion. and in,no case
did the cartridge fire the gases, or the
dust The fame is confined TO the in
terror of the cartridge, and is stopped
both by the Stacked lime and the-water
in the bore hole at IT'S upper end
