The Season Has Opened Brilliantly Mt
This Resort.
Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
ALEXANDRIA BAY, N. Y, June II, 1898.
Hurrying from the heat Of crowded cities
and the clamor of big summer resorts the
travellers in search Of quiet comfort and
healthy surroundings are flocking to the
Thousand Islands. Every train to Clay
ton brings visitors, and before month
has passed the season here will be at its
height Already the big steamboats, which
stop here on their way to Montreal and
Quebec show the result of hot weather In
the west A large number of the people
who make the journey from the west to
Montreal stop at Alexandria Bay and put
in day or two among the famous islands,
1t is a pleasant break in their journey and
world does the visitor come nearer to a
realization of the dreams OF fairyiand than
among these historic islands. There are
1900 of them in all dotting the beautiful
St Lawrence for several miles. They are
of all sizes and shapes, from the tiny speck
of rock to the monster fertile land several
miles in extent. Here at Alexandria Bay
one Is in touch with all the islands, and
the excursion boats make this virtually
the headquarters of the islands. Excur-
sions to all points of interest among the
islands start from the Bay
Mr.. o. G. Staples of Washington, D. c.,
was the first one to see the advantages of
the Thousand Islands as a summer re-
sort, and built the Thousand Island House,
the prominent hosiery of this place. Late
ly he bought out the company which own
ed the hotel. and this year, having pur-
chased additional ground. is conducting the
hotel personally.
This place is easy Of access. It Is only
few hours' run from New York city. and
the trip along the Palisades Of. the Hud-
son over the big four-track system Of the
New York Central railroad IL feature Of
the trip mot TO be overlooked.

Stout People Reduced In Weight
Surely and Without Risk--cataract
Cured by Absorption--A Cure Is
Guaranteed in Both These Con-
ditiOnS.
OBESITY.

Heretofore the methods and remedies that have
been recommended and used by the medical pro-
fession for reducing flesh have proved too burden
some to cary cut harmful in their administra-
ton Stout people do not like to exercise much
or diet themselves. and when a doctor prescribes
these methods the result is usually q failure. Re-
ducing weight by drugs has formerly been attended
by more less danger. and their persistent use
has In many cases produced great harm by weak
eDfng the heart, etc, etc.
Doctor CUwden's Remedy for this condition con-
tains nothing injurious any Of the vital organs
and what is much more important 1t does exactly
ms claimed. 1t Is easy to take dieting. no
exercising. and II reduces flesh slowly but surely,
without weak ming deblitat ting In the least de-
gree. Fleshy people longer have any right to
complain this /: a bona fde cure, and the op-
portunity Is at hand.

CATARACT.

This Is condition of dizziness Of vision produced
by opacity Of the lens OF the eye. The only
method Of relief in the past has been by surgical
measures. The great dread Of the knife has
caused many thousands of people to go through
life blind Preferring this rather than risking the
more less danger of all surgical operations and
the great chance Of the ordeal In the end proving
of no benefit Medical science has for once super
seeded surgery, inasmuch Doctor Cowden has u

that their officers would be retained and
the organization held together. This
could not be done, and it is said this failure
to leave for the front has disheartened and
disgruntled so many of the men and off,
GERS who have served for years with the
corps and were anxious to go to the front
at this first call for duty, that unless some
radical step is taken the entire battalion
will disintegrate and finally disband. IL is
said that only call to duty of at least one
company from the battalion will save the
historic corps. Monday night these various
matters will be thoroughly discussed and
some definite plan OF reorganization, IL is
believed decided upon

 William laughed heartily, and said:

 ''Egad," said William to himself. as he entered his room again, q will see that you get it. She's as clever as an outside broker"
 When young Longworth had left for l his office- Susy swept and dusted out his room again, ard then went down stairs
 ! "Where's the mistress?' she asked a l fellow servant
 ! ''In the library" was the answer, and 1 to the library Susy went, entering tue room without knocking, much to the amazement of Edith Longworth, whc sat near the window with book in her lap. But further surprise was in store for the lady of the house. The house. maid closed the door, and then, select ing a comfortable chair, threw herself down in it, eXclaiming: ''Oh, dear me; I'm so tired
 'Susy," said Miss Longworth, what is the meaning of this?' Ut means, num- said Susy, "that I'm going to chuck it'' Going to what?'7 asked Miss Long, worth, amazed.
 Going to chuck it. Don't you un- derstand? Going to give up my situ- ation. I'm tired of it. Very we'll" said the young woman. rising, you may give notice in the proper way. You have no right to come into this room in this impudent manner. Be so good as to go to your own room."
 "My!" said Susy, you can do the digniied. I must practice and see if can accomplish an attitude like that. If you were a little prettier, Miss Long, worth I should call that striking,'' and the girl threw back her head and laughed.
 Something in the laugh aroused Miss Longworths recollection, and a chill of fear came over her, but, looking at the girl again. she saw she was mis- taken. Susy jumped up, still laughing. and drew a little pin from the cap she wore, fiinging it on the chair; then she pulled off her wig. and stood before Edith Longworth her natural self.
