SAVED THEIR EYES.

Pterygium on Both Eyes Cured.
Mr.. Moses M. Taylor, Blackburn,
Westmoreland County, had fleshy
growth from the inner corner of each
eye grow up over the pupil binding
him so he could not work. DIR. Sadler
S04 Penn avenue, was consulted
through Mr.. Samuel Harris, whom the
doctor had cured of the same thing.
Mr.. Taylor's eyes were perfectly cured
also.
Mr.. Geo. Meyers, Springdale, Pa,
had the same kind of growth, which
had advanced to the danger line. BY
the doctors operation, by his special
method, which after hundreds of trials
has never failed, his eye is as perfect
as ever.
The doctor is wonderfully successful,
in all ear affections.

They Handle Them as if They
Were Kittens.
Play with RattIers all Day Long.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, August 20
VIM. Wilmer, of WolfsviIle, does not
fear reptiles and fondles the venomous
RATHER and copperhead as mother
would her child This practice he
has kept up ever since he was twelve
years of age. The other day Wilmer
was seen with box with a giass top
and the sides bored full of holes. He
drew back and displayed fonr-foot
RATHER which quiyered its tail until
the row of twelve rattles made the
usual warning sound given by rattle
snakes when they have on theis war
paint. Mr.. Wilmer said the snake
was fifteen years of age.
He stated that he captured the big
RATHER in the mountains near his
home. The snake was ayerse to hui
man interference and fastened upon
the charmer's thumb, sinking its ven
omous fangs into his flesh. Mr.. Wit
mer said he didn't mind it a bit, be-
cause he had a remedy with which he
could cure any snake bite. He applied
the remedy, which is valuable secret,
and in fifteen minutes the effect of the
bite was counteracted.
Mr.. Wilmer has caught hundreds OF
snakes Of all kinds, and has been bit
ten quite often, but his most thrilling
experience with snakes, as related by
him, was enough to give one the hor-
rors. He caught number of spotted
vipers while on visit in the mountains
of Pennsylvania, and let the reptiles
bite him on the arm, from which they
hung in a wriggling mass. Only the
other day he was surprised by a big
RATHER while picking berries in the
mountain, and as the snake sprang at
him he leaped toward and caught il
with his hand.
Snake catching, according toMr Wit
mer, is a profitable business, as he
finds sales for all the rattlers he catches
at prices raging from $3.50 to $500 a
piece.
His old grandmother, he said. who
had copperheads and rattlers for pets
would walk among them in her bare
feet and do other things which few
dare attempt with snakes and which
Mr.. Wilmer says, conferred upon hin
the power to handle them. Martin
Wilmer, the father of William, who
is still living, possesses the same infu.
ence on the members Of the snake
family. Mr.. Wilmer has located q
den of rattlers in the mountains, and
will shortly visit them. He expects tC

A recent issue of the New York
Mail and Express quotes Stephen B.
Elkins as saying: s''At present the
silver question is not generally I'M
derstood." The following clippings
from his speech before the State
League of Republican Clubs at Fair
mont two years ago, will probably
explain it.
'Silver is the money of the consti-
tuition as much as gold
"A gold basis means increasing
the debts of the debtor classes, and
decreasing the value of property.
THE people are too intelligent to
permit values to be measured by
gold alone
"Silver should be used as well as
gold and the parity between both
maintained.
''The president (Cleveland) and
the gold monometalists who follow
him, \ II discredited silver at home,
and dealt it the worst blow it ever
had
''The people will have silver mon
ey.'
''The contest will not end until it
(silver) has its proper place in the
monetary system of the country

The following from an editorial ir
the New York Sun is fair sample Of
the arguments now being used by the
gold men to show why Bryan should
not be elected. Among those who the
Sun says will vote for Bryan are The
following:
''The degenerates who have in
heritcd criminal tendency so irresisti-
BILE that they can not refrain from
cheating, and are always on the side
of swindling from sheer love of it, will
also be for him.
"The traitors and social incendiar.
les who are in favor of anything which
threatens the political and social sec.
urity of the republic will surely vote
for him.
s'The cranks, lunatics, and cross
grained who tend naturally to the
wrong side of every question, and want
to adverties their pitiable moral and
intellectual deformities, will all give
him their votes with fury.
Likewise the dead beat as matter
of course: the fools who are downed In
their folly beyond the possibility OF
resuscitation; the honestly deluded;
the benighted to whom no light of ed
ucation as to the true meaning of the
silver humbug has come and those who
are too stubborn to turn to the light
when it is poured npon Them"

LincoIn,s Renorf.

A New York firm applied to Abra-
ham Lincoln a short time before he
became President, to ascertain the
financial standing of one of his
neighbors. He replied: Il am well
acquainted with Mr.-and know his
circumstances. First of all he has
a wife and baby, and together they
ought to be worth $4,000 to any
man. Secondly, he has an office in
which there is table worth say a

Last of all there is rat hole in one

BAD LAPSE OF MEMORY
However, it Makes No Difference
What Might Have Been His
Views in the Past, He Now Pro-
poses to Vote For Mckinley,
Starvation, Sin and Slavery.

NEW YORK, Oct. The Republican
national committee has discovered that
a circular is being secretly distributed
among railway employees and labor
organizations generally which is destined
TO give the impression that P. NJ. Arthur.
grand chief engineer of the International
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
favors the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver. The circular having been brought
20 the attention of n. 3. Scott of the
Republican national committee the lat
ter wrote a letter to Chief Arthur and a
reply has been received which shows that
Mr.. Arthur is for sound money" and
Mckinley. The following is Mr.
Mr.. N. B. Scott, New York:
Dear Sir:-Your esteemed favor with
circular enclosed received and read with
care. That there may be no misunder-
standing concerning my attitude toward
the two political parties whatever, what
l say must be accepted as coming from
an individual, not as the executive Of
ficer of Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers.
About two years ago, a gentleman
called upon Mr.. Sargent and me at the
Gibson house, in Cincinnati, and read to
US what purported to be petition to
congress. After listening attentively to
the reading of the document, he asked
me Il l would sign it. l did so, and
thought no more about II until the past
two months, when l find it is being cir
culated and used for political purposes.
l understood, at the time, that it was
to be presented to congress, asking for
the enactment Of laws in the interest OF
labor. 1 cannot say whether the present
circular is a true copy of the one read
to me at that time. l will say, however.
that am not in favor of free and I'M
limited coinage of silver and intend to
vote for Mckinley, regardless of what
may have been said or done in the past.
