Eye Pouitic~.

Do not poultice an eye under any cir.
curnstances whatever Binding a wet
application over an eye for several
hours must damage that eye, the asser-
tons of those protesting 10 have per-
solal experience IN this to the contrary
notwithstanding. The failure to az
gravate an existing trouble by binding
moist application over az infamed
eve, which application is supposed TO
remain for an entire night. can only
be explained by the suppo.ition that a
guardian angel has watched over that
misguided case, and has displaced the
poultice before it has got in It's fine

LIFE-sAyING GREW AT WORK
Later Details of the River Catastrophe a
Cleveland, Ohio.


Cleveland. July 17.-Last evening an
overloaded ferTyboat used bly, the ore
handlers OF the docks, was swarnped by
the wash OF q passenger steamer and 1t
began TO sink The men rushed to the
side and the boat was overturned. Most
Of the men were drowned.
A body which has not yet been iden-
titled was recovered at an early hour
this morning from the river a. the scene
OF last nights disaster, making the to-
tai number Of dead removed in the
morgue sixteen. II is believed that
there are still several more bodies IN
the river. as at least three men who were
on the boat have not yet been accounted
for. Weeping wives and widows be-
sieged the morgues throughout the
morning and looked on the faces of
their dead ones or hunted among the
gruesonle collection of clothing, dinner
pals and other objects for some sign
OF those they feared were dead. Some
Of the bereaved ones did not learn of
the accident TIL early this morning and
ct once fastened 10 the rnorgues, hop
ing against hope that their fears were
groundless.
The life-saving crew remained on du-
ty al night and as soon as daylight ap-
peared they pressed a greater number
Of boats into service. These were man
ned by river men, who were provided
with graphing hooks and lines They
rowed up and down the river around
the spot where the bodies were sup
posed TO have gone down and at times
their graphing hooks would become en-
tangled in sogne object at the bottom of
the river and the men would cease row.
ing, The crowds on shore would press
forward and await in GREATNESS ex-
pectancy the hauling IN Of the line. The
hooks would be clinging TO nothing
more than a piece Of water1ogged wood.
After the finding of the body this morn
ing no further discoveries had been
made UP TO noon.

dead:
