Restored to Sight.

The New York World publishes the
following: Guided by y rays provided
by Thomas A. Edison, lancet operat-
ed by Drs. w. O. Bailey and A. D.
Wandell has probably restored sight to
10-year-old Mary Schienliner of New
ark. Two years ago the girl fell on
her head. When picked up her skull
was apparently uniniured and the scalp
wound quickly healed. A few months
ago she complained that there was d
mist before her eyes. In week she
was totally blind.
The girl was today taken to Mr..
Edison's laboratory at Orange. The
X rays were turned on and focused
against the chiid's head. DIR. Bailey
could see the bone pressing down on
the girls brain and a dark shadow
between its cOnvolutlons. 1t was a
blood clot. A plaque was held before
the child 5 ewes while the rays were
still being thrown on her head. She
was able to S, the shadow An opera
ton was performed and 1t was found
that Y rays had told the truth. There
was bit of bone pressing upon the
anterior portion of the brain and a
blood cloJ that extended down and
pressed upon the optic nerve, causing
blindness. The clOJ was carefully cut
away and the skull was Urepaneo, two
or three large buttons of bone being
taken out, and the child's eye sight
was restored.

Olnpy on CUba.

Recurring to his comparison Of the
Cuban Instruction with those that
have preceded he makes significant
statement: From every accessible
indica ton it is clear that the present
rebellion is on a far more formldab G
scale as to mum bers, Intelligence ana
representation than any OF the proceed
ing revolts of this country: that despite
the constant influx of fresh armies and
material of war from the metropolis,
the rebellion, after nearly two years Ci
successful resistance, appears today G
be in a condition TO indefinitely prolor g
the contest on its present basis"
He also compliments the tactical
skill displayed by the insurgents, saJ
ing that under the disparity Of mum beEs
and the comparatively indefensible
condition of the western Vega country.
the passage of cCnsid9rab force into
the Pinar del Rio reg ion, followed by
its successful maintenance there for
many months, must be regarded as a
military success OF a pronounced char
acter.
The insurgent armies" says the
secretary, "fairly represent the intel,
ligent aspirations OF a'large portion of
the people of the whole island and 1t Is
shown that they purpose by this con-
test on their better grounds of vantage
to end. and to make the present strug-
gle a supreme test of the capacity Of
the Cuban people to win themselves
and their children the heritage Of self
government. -

Show Your Badge old Man.

The necessity for officers on the
night watch to wear their badge where
it can be seen in the dark was evidenc-
ed a few nights ago on the north side.
Immigration Inspector Hampton. of
the government service was called into
bis yard by the ferociOus barking of
his dog which appeared bent on mas
ticatlng the entire fence in his
endeavOrs to get at some one out in the
roadway. Mr.. Hampton did not know
who the stranger was and suspected 1t
must be some one trying to steal his
chickens.
But on calling out, he discovered the
man was Officer Archer, who had his
gun in his hand. Archer wore no uni
form and no badge outside his clothes
and finally displayed it from under his
coat. Archer explained his presence
there by saying he had been chasing a
Nexican up the alley and fell against
tn fence, which stirred up the dog.
Mr. Hampton thinks it would be safer
for officers to wear the insignia of theil
Office where it can be seen when arouL c
a. night.

Coal in Arizona.

Coal mining is promising to become
au important industry in Arizona. In
the northern part OF the territory ex-
tensive bodies of bltuminOus coal are
encountered north and east of the
Painted Desert region. This coal crops
out in many places and at one point
has a thickness of twenty-three feet.
The San Carlos coal lands lie east Of
the Painted Desert tract, and extend
northeast into Colorado and New Mex
leo. The Mining Industry says it
comes to the surface in many places
and as far as now known consists of
three stratas, the first two having a
thickness of four feet, while the last
and lower one is often found fifteen feet
in thickness. One thing which has
prevented the development of the San
Carlos coal measures is the fact that
it is covered by the Indian reservation
and unless some steps are taken by
congress no work can be done.

from the sources indicated by Mr..
Weik.
The originality of the expression,
however, is of small account. Mr.. Lin
coin was doubtless utterly Indifferent
about the originality of the phrases.
He accepted the prfnciple-the doctrine
of which they are but the sign, and
had so thought of it, so loved it, that
it was his whoever was the first to
give it voice. There are some things
which belong to no one man, they are
created by a race, a people, a nation.
There are expressions which grow
into existence, no one knows how, but
they enbody the prevailing thought of
an epoch. or of nation. Such is this
expression-''a government of the peo-
pie, by the people, and for the peo-
pie" Such was the Declaration of In
dependence; such also the Monroe Doc
trine. These things are not born of
one man; they are created by al peo-
pie, and they belong to them. A jeff
erson, a Monroe, a Parker, may write
them down; a Lincoln, or an Olney,
and ten thousand others may repeat
them, but they belong to the people,
nevertheless, whose heart throes and
fierce struggle gave them birth. This
particular expression. "a government
of the people, by the people, and for
the people,. belongs to Americans
without distinction of party.

or how successful for a time, but the
continued, persistent, every day effort
to make law breakers obey the law is
the one that wins in the end. No one
can hope to extirpate crime; all that
is to be expected is that it shall be
reduced to the minimum. And it is the
steady enforcement of the law that
brings this about. This is what the
law abiding people of this city ask of
the authorities; no more, no less
While this is easily susceptible of ac-
compHshment, it will not be accom-
plished unless there is perfect harmony
of action on the part of those charged
with the enforcement of the law. Ever
since the new administration came in
there has been a lack of this harmony.
Petty spites and personal jealousies
have controlled the public officials in
their actions while the public welfare
has been matter of secondary con-
sideration, if of any consideration at
all. The city authorities do not seem
to realize that instead of the people
caring anything about these personal
matters they, are absolutely Disguised
with them. Nor do the people care for
the politics of any city official or en-
ployee. All they ask is an honest and
economical city government and an
enforcement of all ordinances at all
times. Surely they have the right to
ask this; surely it is the duty of the
city officials to give it to them.
