Chicago, July 4-Horace Boies Of
Iowa arrived this morning and went to
the Boies headquarters in the Palmer
house. He was met at the train by a
delegation Of Iowa friends. but beyond
this there was no demonstration. At
the hotel he received long line of call

To a representative of the associated
press Boies talked freely on the situa-
tion He did not wish to discuss his
personal prospects or to be put in the
embarrassing position OF urging his
own availability. He said he came here
TO get acquainted with friends from

The Great Chain OF Letters That Binds
the Two Nations.


The Great Chain OF Letters That Binds
the Two Nations.
A most interesting summary Of the
business of the postoffice of the United
Kingdom has boon compiled by Mr.. ].
Holt Schooling, member of the Royal
Statistical society of London. 1t is OF
peculiar value to Americans, not only
as affording means Of comparison with
our own postoffice work, but because IL
shows anew the close bonds Of business
and friendship between the two great
nations. Mr.. Schooling illustrates his
statistics with graphic diagrams.
The first thing that strikes the eye in
the report is the cost Of the British post
al service and the profit, for Great Brit
ain makes a profit in this department.
The wages of employees alone amount
to $50, 800. 900 year, while the total
cost of the department for the same Pc
riod is $58, 700, 900.
The receipts amount to sos, 750, 00G,
leaving balance of Sl5, 900, 600 profit
a year. This would make very star
tling comparison with large yearly de-
ficit of our own postoffice were it not re-
membered that Great Britain owns the
telegraph too. Doubtless large tele-
graphic profits offset deficit in the
strictly postal business. On this point
Mr.. Schooling is unfortunately silent.
While Great Britain exchanges 9S,-
900, 900 letters with Europe, she ex-
changes 81 900, 900 with America. This
shows the bond between Europe and
America, for the next continent on the
list is Asia, with whom she makes only
$4,000, 900 exchanges
In the comparison of nations the
United States stands far ahead Of any
other, for 4l,000. 900 letters are ex-
changed annually between us and Great
Britain. The next on the list is France,
with an exchange of 25, 750, 600 letters,
and Germany is third, with an exchange
of 25, 800. O00 No other nation ap-
proaches nearer than Italy's $500, 900.
The increase in letter writing in the
last 90 years, due to increased education
and the enlargement of friendship, bus
mess and common interests in general, is
very interestingly shown in the COM
pliers tables In 1S46, for instance, the
British postoffice delivered 10 letters for
every head of population, while in 1894
40 letters for each head of population
were delivered.
With similar intent Mr. Schooling
says:
"Twenty years ago the activity OF a
tiny spot in the tiny spot marked Lon
don annually delivered 70 letters in the
United Kingdom for every 100 persons
living Oh the area Of the whole world,
sufficiently remarkable performance
even then. But now this wonderful
postoffice machine delivers in these lit
tie islands only q number Of letters that
suffices to provide each unit of the
worlds population with nearly ~ let
ters annually, and this without includ-
ing amy of the other considerable items
Of postal matter, such as book packets,
post cards, newspapers, circulars, tele-
grams, etc."
The comparative diagrams indicate
the amount of postal matter exchanged
by the United Kingdom with the other
continents. They show how closely we
are bound to the queens realm through
the ties of the post. New York Herald.

FREE CURE FOR men.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His Dis
covery Free.
Claims to BE . Benefactor to Weakened

There is always more or less supicion at
tached TO anything that is offered free, but
sometimes man 30 overflows with gen.
erosity that he cannot rest until his dis
covery 10 known to the world, In order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi.
pal that q resident of Kalamazoo, Mich.,
desires to send free to mankind prescrip--
tion which will cure them OF any form OF
nervous debility; relieves them OF all the
doubt and uncertainty which such men
are peculiarly liable to and restores the
organs to natura al size and vigor. As 1t
costs nothing to try the experiment It
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested In a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and vigor,
without which they continue to live an
existence of untold misery. As the remedy
In question was the result OF many years.
research as to what com mbination would be
peculiarly effective In restoring to men
the strength they need, 1t would seem that
all men suffering with any form OF nerv-
ous weakness ought to write for such
remedy at once. A request to II. G. Olds,
Box 1.625, Kalamazoo, Mich., stating that
you are not sending for the prescription
out of Idle curiosity, but that you wish to
make use OF the medicine by giving 1t q
trial, will be answered promptly and with
out evidence as to where evidence came
from.
though some may wonder how Mr.. Olds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there Is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Olds 30 that he may know how you came
to write to him.

A BLIND GIRL SEES.
SIZE WAS SUBJECTED TO X RAYS m
EDISoNS LABORATORY.

She Recognizes Objects and L. Abic to
More Accurate Results While Making
His Researches.
Another illustration of the marvellous
power of the x rays has just taken
place in the Edison laboratory in
Orange. A young girl of Newark, N.
j., received severe blow on the head
three years ago, which, acting on the
optic nerves, caused absolute and total
blindness.
A friend took her to Edison's labora-
tory few days ago, not with the inten-
tion of testing the x rays, but to have
the interior of her head examined to To-
cate the pressure on the nerves. It wns
the opinion Of oculists that if this spot
could be located trephining could be
performed and the sight restored.
The girl was placed under the x
rays, but, although her eead was COM
pletely permeated by the rays, no spe-
cial lesion could be located. The head
was so transparent while the X rays
were playing on it that Mr.. Edison
placed his own hand on the opposite
side of It and distinctly saw the bones
and their articulation.
Then he thought he would try the
effect Of tho X rays directly on the eyes.
The girl instantly saw light for the
first time in three years. She was able
to tell the different shapes Of objects
held before her eyes while suffused with
the X rays and described them accurate
ly. In the case Of disk of brass she
even WAS able to tell the color. saying
that it was yellow. The experimenGwas
considered great success.
j asked Mr.. Edison about the Robarts
experiments in st. Louis and also the
ones in San Francisco. He said that If
the reports were true there was big
flake" somewhere. All the accounts
that he had seen spoke of the sight be-
ing restored temporary to the patients
by means OF the Horoscope. This, he
said. was all impossibility, as the fiu.
oroscope stepped the X rays entirely.
They were absorbed in the microscope
screen, and beyond that was seen only
white light. For this reason he doubted
the truth of the experiments or that the
reports had been correctly made.
He said he was experimenting on
himself, closing his eyes and being
blindfolded In this way he could ar
rive at more accurate results, for the
reason that he knew absolutely the con-
ditions prevailing and would not be de-
oeived by al appearance such ~ might
be the case with blind man.
He is having special apparatus made
that will still further develop this SIDE
of the question. New York Herald.
