Reading, September 16.-Alfred j.
Franks, 1927 Franklin street, this city,
received letter this morning from
Juniata county, announcing that his
cousin, Mrs. Sarah Hubbard, had be-
come blind during night. Her ia
ther, who recently died was afflicted
the same way. Neither bad been
troubled with any eye complaint.
Both went to bed in the full posses
sion of their sight, but were blind the
next morning. y
1t is query with many people as
to what has become of witches,
ghosts, goblins, spirits of the air and
so forth, that used to trouble people
of three generations ago. The Yen
KEGS of New England were so be-
witched that to purge that part of the
country of witch influence, the burn
ing of witches was resorted to. There
were witches and ghosts CIR there
were no witches and ghosts in those
days. The people in those days were
badly fooled by someone, if there
were no witches, ghosts and spirits Of
the air. II they were then why not
now? In those days there were witch
doctors. The Yankees of those days
could not live without having witch
doctors among them, and the man
who did not believe in witch craft
was set down as an infidel The
large majority of the people then be.
lieved in witch craft. Now very few
people believe in it and the witch
doctor has disappeared for want Of
an occupation. The belief in witches
and ghosts was delusion of the
mind, or some change has taken
place among men that prevents the
| practice of witchcraft.

A GOOD INIPROv aA1ENT.

Since many students come to us for "a
business course, who are not sufficiently
grounded in the ordinary English
branches to ms Ike any thing like the best
possible use Of our business training, we
have found it necessary to increase the
scope of our English course, without ad-
ditional cost to the student, and we can
now offer advantages in this direction eX-
celled by no school in the country We
have spared no expense to get an in
structor who, for the past year, has made
our Normal English work browning
success. Those who can pass satisfactory
examinations need not take the English
work; but those who cannot pass the ex-
aminations should not only have but
want the English, because they cannot
have good success without English. This
feature is not a rev one; we have only
added to it. 1t has developed the SCHOOL,;

The presentation of the "Refo1 mation"
at the Town Hall last night was by far
the most entertaining and interesting
and the grandest production given here
for many years. The, story opened with
q church procession and was followed by
AN interesting lecture, with the aid of
stereopticon views, thus bringing the
events amid scenes Of the sixteenth CEN
fury wildly before the audiene. The trial
of Luther at Worms was presented in
the most realistic way. The emperor,
the cardinal and the central figure, Luz
Their himself, were all as real as the great
historical event itself. The importance

mated Surely no one can afford to miss

entertainment of this kind as II. means of

IND OF THE MINERS STRIKE IN
SIGHT.
MATERIAL ADVANCE SECURED
Board TO Urge the PROPOSE
ton for a Straight Price OF 20 cents
a Ton. and a Convention VIII BE
Held to Act Upon the Recommends
tiOn.

Columbus. Sept. 4.-The end OF the
Great miners strike is in sight. Yes
terday afternoon the national eNecu-
tive board of united mine workers
agreed to recommend to the miners
the proposition from the Pittspurg OPP
orators for a straight price of 90 cents
a ton to continue in force until the
.nd of he year. Delegates to a
convention of all miners who suspend
ed work has been called to meet IN
Columbus, Sept. 8, to act upon the
recommendation.
President Ratchford and other mem
hers of the board say that there is not
the slightest doubt but that the miners
will approve the recommendation. The
proposition does not involve arbitra-
ton, and in effect provides for the
immediate settlement of the strike.
President Ratchford said last night
shat there were special reasons for the
board recommending the proposition.
In the first place it comedies to the
miners a material advance. Had the
69-cent rate been secured he is con-
fdent it could rot have been main
tanned for more than seventy days.
The proposition does away with all
the uncertainties of arbitration and
will bring the strike to a speedy ter
mination. AS soon as the miners rati-
fly the proposition work will be re-
sumed in all the mines.
In the second place, the proposition
provides for a revival of the joint on
ference for the adjustment of prices.
The operators are pledged to meet with
the miners prior to the termination of
the agreement to determine the rate
of mining for the next year.

to the stories, and yet the most hui
name in the use of firearms.
1.-THE Mauser bullet is a steel-clad
bullet of 81 and a fraction calibre.
That bullet will penetrate anywhere,
and will go through you as a fash of
sunlight will go through glass; but it
leaves no disabling effect, and unless
it hits in a yital-spot, as, for instance,
the heart, which is the only spot where
You can kill a person instantly and

Il have seen a man shot through the
head and seen him alive and perfect

after. | saw another man, Major Os-
good of the artillery, shot through the
center of the forehead, and he lived
for three hours; but if you take an
ordinary bullet, what chance has a
man shot there to live three seconds?
l saw a man shot only an eighth of
an inch over the heart, and l could
not tell for three hours whether tn,
heart was touched or not. He was
put in the hospital, and in seven days
he was discharged from the hospital.
In case a Winchester ball had gone
there, only ar eighth of an inch from
the heart, where would that man be?
Dead, without a question. Another
man was shot through the thigh, and
1t came out on the inner side of the
leg, traversing the femur all the way
down. The man wanted to remain on
bis horse and continue fighting, and
| slit up his pants and put a piece Of
plaster on the wound, above and be-
low, and in ten minutes he was en-
gagged in a machete charge. If that
had been a Winchester ball his leg
would have been amputated."

A KING AT PLAY.

William Henry Bishop. the novelist,
describing San Sebastian, the famous
Spanish watering-place, in the Septem-
Der Scribner's, pictures the boy king
of Spain at play on the beach: 1T

of Spain wading about barefoot and
digging in the sond, and the sight is
worth while. He e out upon a

AN ANARCHIST ISLAND.

When the preaching of anarchy
bears its natural fruit in deeds of
crime, then the law has but to work
in its accustomed grooves. When, on
the other hand, wild-eyed fanatics
grow eloquent over an abstract anarch-
ical theory, society can but tolerate
the rantings as best it may, enduring
much in the sacred cause of free
speech and personal liberty. But there
is a third case. There are anarchistic
leaders who frankly proclaim their
doctrines and who, while refraining
from overt acts of violence, do directly
incite men to such acts. These men
are the self-convicted enemies of So
Getty. determination not being just
ifiable, what is to be done with them?
Strange diseases call for strange med
icines. Might it not be well to dedi-
cate some remote island to the ex-
elusive use of such anarchists? This
island might be set apart and guarded
by international agreement. Thither
might be sent all the enemies of law
and order, to preach and practice their
doctrines upon M another without
h~indrance. There they might be in
dulged, without peril to the world, in
every liberty but liberty to leave their
cwn securely isolated domain.-The Il
