services in the evening in the Congrega-
tional church, an account of which is
given elsewhere, were we'll attended, the
audience being considerably larger than
Fast day services heretofore held in the
day time, have been. The mills and
factories were closed and the stores
most of the day, as usual, and business
was generally suspended. Ball playing
and horseback riding with dancing in the
evening prevailed to about the usual ex-

SEALED EYES OPENED.
A Woman Born Blind Forty-Nine
Years Ago Now Able to See.
Surgical Operation in Connecticut Gives
Sight TO Miss Helen Beers, Who Has
Been in Total Darkness for
So Many Years.

Miss Helen Beers, born blind 40 years
ago in Newtown, saw the other day for
the first time.
She had been at the Bridgeport hos
pital for long time, and DR.. +. NJ. Will
son, of the surgical staff of the Man.
haitian. eye and ear hospital of New
York, performed an operation which
21st birthday Miss Beers had lived in
Perkins institute for the blind, in Bos-
ton, and was educated there, learning
to read by means of raised letters, to
write by the aid of parallel lines and to
play the piano. The case is an excep-
tional one, and has been watched with
great interest by scientific men all over
the country.
The restoration of sight will probably
be permanent. Miss Beers has good
mind and her education was so COM
plete that she was able to do all manner
of household work, and for many years
has kept house for her father.
The physician found that Miss Beers
suffered from cataract in both eyes,
making her totally blind. The opera
ton consisted in removing these cat
aracts or Opaque lenses which had OBJ
structed the vision all these years. 1t
is probable that she will have per-
manent sight with one if not with both
eyes, and the operation may be con-
sidered entirely successful.
1t was through the generous consid-
Grafton of Bridgeport woman, whose
identity is carefully concealed, that she
was enabled to enter the hospital for
treatment. Her parents are poor.
When the bandages were taken off in
order that the effect might not be in
furious to her eyes the light admitted
to her room was very faint.
Miss Beers remarks, as she beheld
various objects, were almost childlike.
The fact that she had not the slightest
idea of distance was shown when she
attempted to reach the handsomest vase,
which was across the room from her.
\ bouquet of handsome flowers was
placed before her, and her exclamation
of delight was thrilling. In her blind
state she had learned to love them, but
she had no conception of their beauty.
DR.. Wilson is almost sure that the
restoration of sight will be permanent.
Within n few weeks, it is believed, she
will be able to return home.

In battles by sea or land, the men of
strongest bodies and clearest brains are
the ones who win. In the battles of bust
ness life the conflict is none the less
fierce and deadly, and the strong are
victors.
In the pursuit of wealth many a man
loses health-loses the power to enjoy
wealth. 1t is not necessary. Few men
ever die of hard work. A man may work
as hard as he pleases if only he sleeps
we'll, eats well, digests we'll. Good diges-
ton is the key to the whole problem.
Good digestion brings sound, restful
sleep, keeps the appetite good and the
blood pure.
Good digestion is secured always and
surely by the judicious use of DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is a per-
feet remedy for all digestive troubles, and
beyond that is the greatest blood purifier
and nerve strengthened ever sold. For
over thirty years it has gone on its merci-
full healing mission bringing back life,
and hope, and happiness, after all else
had failed. Thousands have testified to
its marvellous efficacy. Druggists sell it.

any reflections on the society, which, by
the boards statement was doing as good
work as it can do, but he thought 1t
would be more effective If this board en-
dorsed its work. He therefore moved the
adoption of a resolution approving OF and
endorsing the society. This was adopt
ed, and President Mccarthy retired with
the rernark that he would be pleased to
give any further information at any time
when called upon.
Mr.. Joseph A. Dear then brought up the
matter of the reopening of Montgomery
street, saying what a detriment it would
be to business to nave that street torn
up q month or six weeks, as 1t would
probably be, He was interrupted by the
renark that the street was not likely to
be torn up, as the contract awarded to
the Sheridan & Shea Company has been
cancelled by the city. MIR. Dear expressed
surprise at this, and when told it was
published in yesterdays papers, said he
had not seen them. He then expressed
his doubts of the right of the city to
cancel a contract. He believed 1t could
only have a claim for damages II it was
not lived up to.
Mr.. Condict remarked that the Hudson
Telephone Company wanted to lay a con-
duit under Montgomery street, which
would make the streets. condition still
worse. To this Mr.. Dear replied

reason of the opposition to the erection
of a stone crusher by Sheridan & Shea
Company was hat it refused to be bled,
to which Mr.. Dear said that while there
is no real evidences Of corruption there
may be sufficient evidence to raise suspi-
cion, and if any officials had lent them
selves to any such matchmaking scheme
they were open to criminal proceedings.
He knew that the action of some city Off
cials has been such as to defeat n pub
lie interest.
President Corcoran said he was sick and
tired of hearing about contractors losing
money on contracts. Why do they take
them at losing figures, simply to keep
poor n honest men from getting them.
He had no sympathy with a contractor
who claims he has lost. No man takes a
contract unless he expects to make money
by it, and if he doesn't it's through his
own attempt to keep out everybody else.
There being nothing further offered.
President corcoran declared the Board
adjourned.

1T is a wonder people live as long as
they do" said a leading physician while
conversing with some newspaper friends
recently. Every breath that is taken
contains poison. Millions of germs, so
small they cannot be seen by the naked
eye, are drawn into the lungs, the throat,
the stomach, and while many of them die,
thousands of them live and feed upon the
body and cause. what is called disease.
Germs are the source of all disease; kill
the germs and you cure the disease"
So interested were his listeners with
the above remarks that the doctor con-
tinued. You naturally ask what will kill
these germs? / am sorry to say, only a
few things. The surest safeguard against
all germs is pure whiskey-pure, mind
you. Germs do not thrive where it is
used j~udiciously. Unfortunately, there is
but little pure whiskey to be had, and I
know of bat one which / can absolutely
recommend, and that is Duffy's. / have

Whiskey is recommended by such high
medical authorities as DR.. Henry a.. Mott,
Prof. William r. Cutter. DR.. Carnweu and
Others. Understand me, I advocate the
use of whiskey only as a medicine and not
as a beverage. AS q medicine, it is
