NoRRIsTowN, Pa, Nov. 21.-Charles
o. Kaiser will have to stand trial for
the murder of his wife, Mrs. Emma p.
Kaiser, who was shot and killed on the
night of October 2S. Kaiser was also
wounded at the time, and claimed
that he had been robbed by highway
men who shot him and his wife. Some
of the alleged stolen articles were af-
forwards found and Kaiser was ar
rested, charged with the murder Of
his wife. The inquest took place Fri
day morning, and the evidence pro-
duced was decidedly against Kaiser.
The jury rendered verdict that she
came to her death as the result of a
conspiracy entered upon by Kaiser
and others.

~ demand. He therefore equips him
self with threefor four convenient but
simple instruments for immediate use.
Commonly, when about to operate, he
hastily rubs his hands ON his overalls,
to remove any oil or grit on the finger
tips. But the American Machinist,
speaking of this custom. quotes an eX-
pert as recommending the adoption, of
two other precautions before further
proceeding. One is to rinse the hands
IN n weak solution of bichloride Of
mercury Zone part of the bichloride to
1000 of watcr), in order to kill any
poisonous germs that might adhere.
The other is to drop four per cent.
solution of cocaine into the patients
eye, with one of those glass tubes with
which you fill fountain pen. This lat
ter measure will reduce the sensitive
ness of the eye.
The lids having been turned back,
the eye-pcker begins to search patient
ly for the irritating chip, which is apt
to be several sizes smaller than the
sufferer imagines. Some operators use
, pine stick. with the end chewed into
brush. to remove the cause of an
noyance when found. Others have a
fne-pointed knife blade. Perhaps the
latter has been magnetized. If the
chip is rough and ragged. and has
flown with sufficient force, it win have
imbedded itself either in the soft tissue
in the corner OF the eye, or possibly in
the eyeball. In order to remove the
splinter under these circumstances, a
pair of fne-pointed "picl1-up" tweez-
ers, such as jewellers use, is usually re.
sorted to. A firm grip on the project
ing end, and slow, steady pull with
them will finish the job. Sometimes,
however, it is not easy to discover
where the chip is, although from the
scratching on The inside OF the eyeld
one can perceive that the cause of the
mischief is located In the ball or in
or near the pupil. In such case, the
smooth back of knife blade is passed
| slowly, lightly over the eyeball, until
it comes in contact with the splinter.
If the latter docs not stick out far
enough TO give the tweezers q good
hold, it is customary to work around
it with a sharp-pointed knife-blade
until the desired result is obtained.
! This is ticllish business to read about.
but the American Machinist says that
IL has never known an "eye-picker" to
injpre an operatives eye in any Of these
! prOrep1inos
