in one eye for Is years and in the other
for six years. Both eyes were totally
blind, and these operations were de-
termined upon as a last resort by DR..
Koh1er.
About a week after the operation on
the first eye, an examination was made
of the eye. presented a naturla ap-
pearance, and 1t was found that a COM
plete and thorough union had been eff
fected between the original and en-
grated portions.
The second eye was then prepared for
operation. An examination showed that
a larger portion of this organ had to be
removed than from the first eye, as the
disease was deeper. Every particle Of
the diseased organ was removed and a.
similar portion taken from the healthy
eye of the animal. Some days must nec-
essarily pass before it is known wheth-
er sight has been restored in this in-
stance.

PARIS CHRISTMAS STRIKE.
Police on Guard to Control the Form
er Employees of Groceries.

Paris, Dec. 26.-Paris today presents
an extra ordinary appearance. The strike
of the grocer employees is spreading and
the strikers are terrorizing the substi-
tutes who were engaged to fill their
places.
The confusion due to the nervousness
of the frightened ''black-legs'' or nom
union employees. and the awkwardness
of the unframed women in the shops is
indescribabIe. The police are guarding
the doors of the shops. The strikers
wrecked a number of shops in the
Batignolles district last evening. There
were numerous fights between the strik-
ers and the police, resulting in the
splitting of considerable blood and the
arrest of many of the strikers.
The employees in the provision trades
allied with the grocers have voted in
favor of solidarity with the strikers.
The diapers threaten to join the strtlz-
ers and the assistants employed In the
big AIagazin du Printemps are to take
a vote on the question.

RECOMMENDS INSURANCE.
Secretary Bush Says the State House
Should Be Insured and Electric
Lights Run Constantly

There is not any fire insurance on the
state house or anything pertaining to
it. The legislature has never made any
appropriation for the payment of prem
iums and therefore the state house has
never been insured. In his recomenda-
ton in his biennial report, which will
soon be published, in referring to this
matter, Secretary of State Bush says:
"Che legislature should at once take
steps to protect the capitol building
from fire. No insurance is carried upon
the building or its contents, and the on
ly fire protection is the fire plugs on the
streets adjacent to the grounds"
In his minor recommendations re-
garding the state house, Secretary Bush
says:
1.-THE present executive council has
placed in the capitol building an electric
plant at a cost of about 81, 800. This has
necessitated some extra expense in
completing the wiring and in placing
the necessary lamps in the different
rooms of the building. The boilers are
amply sufficient, but the engine and
dynamOs should be duplicated, SO that
the plant can be run continuously and
to provide for relief in case repairs are
at any time needed.
ga store keeper should be appointed
and a room in the basement fitted up
for his use. He should be placed under
bond and be held responsible. for all
furniture and supplies used and re-
CURED in the building. He should grant
acquisitions upon his department only
when signed by the head of the depart
ment for which they are ordered, and
in strict compliance with rules and reg
ulations to be provided by the execu-
tive council. He should also keep a
complete record of all supplies purchas-
ed, to what department furnished, and
such other data as may enable the OK
ecutive council to keep a complete
check upon his department, and should
be required to annually make detailed
report to the executive council. The
waste under the present loose and I'M
businesslike method will pay a store
keepers salary several times over"

FASTER MAIL SERVICE.
Half a Day Gained Between New
York and the PACIFIC.

Washington, Dec. 26-Second Assist
ant Postmaster General Shallenberger
and Captain White, superintendent of
the railway mail service, have succeeded
in arranging for a general change in
the transcontinental mail service which
will be of great benefit to all points be-
tween Boston and New York on the
east and San Francisco, Portland and
all points on the Pacific coast on the
west. The time OF the fast mail leaving
New York at p. m. on the New York
Central will be shortened three and a
half hours between New York and Chi
cage, arriving at the latter point at
$50 D. m. instead of u midnight as
now. Close connection will be made at
Buffalo 50 that mail which now arrives
in Detroit at 500 p. m will arrive at
about 1 p. m, insuring its delivery at
nearly all points in southern Michigan
the day of arrival in Detroit.
From Chicago fast trains will leave
for Milwaukee, st. Paul and Mime
apolis and for Omaha Mail heretofore
reaching St. Paul at I p. m. and Mime
apoliS at 1:40 p. m. will arrive at about
a. m. and $40 a. m. espectiVely. The
overland trains now leaving at 1870 p.
m. will change so as to leave about
$3.50 a. m, thus affecting a material
gain throughout Minnesota and ex-
pediting the mails all the way through
to the coast, involving Helena, Mont,
Spokane and Seattle, Wash, and the
entire northwestern coast.
Mail now arriving in Omaha, Neb.,
at 40 p. m. will arrive at that point at
about a. m. and will connect at Union
Pacific transfer with the overland
train leaving Omaha in the morning
over the Union Pacific railroad instead
of the one leaving on the same time in
the afternoon thus affecting a gain in
transit Of from 10 to 13 hours at points
between Omaha and San Francisco ar
irving at San Francisco at S:45 p. m,
instead of 9: 40 a. m.

TO SUCCEED FOSTER.
Cy Leland's Plan is to Turn Down
Lawyer Hook and Install

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-The certal

Washington, Dec 26.-The certainty
that the house will pass early in the
new year the bill to retire Judge Foster
of Kansas renders necessary prompt
action on the part of Senator Baker.
Great interest is expressed as to the
probable course the senator will pursue
concerning the selection of Fosters sue
cessor. The fact that he has Endorsed
his law partner, Mr.. Hook, for the life
time position soon to be within the gift
of the president is not to interfere with
the senator taking the place for himself,
according to the statements of some Of
his friends.
It is claimed here that Cy Leland will
not permit Hook to have the place. He
is willing that Baker should go to the
bench, because thereby he retires from
state politics for all the time, but he
will net allow the senator to fix his law
partner for life.
holidays he will have to give this mat
ter his early attention. 1t will proba bly,
be fixed for him before he leaves kan
sas In order to save Senator Baker
from the embarrassing attitude brewing
over the man he had first Endorsed to
take the place himself, the deal will be
made through National Committeeman
Leland.
He will tell Hook that Baker is the
only man he will consent shall have the
place and that the former must quietly
withdraw Senator Bakers Endorsement
of him.
Lawyer. Hook is not to be the new
federal Judge for the district of Kansas,
and Senator Baker will be if the pres
ent scheme goes through.

GLOON AT ANN ARBOR.
Detroit is After the Big University of
Michigan.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec 26.-Is the Uni
versity of Michigan to be removed from
Ann ArbOr to the city of DetrOit2 This
question, which was thought to have been
laid aside. is being discussed again 1t is
pointed out that in Regents Kiefer and
Fletcher Detroit has two friends on the
board, and if Eli Sutton is given Regent
Deans seat by the supreme courts decis-
ion, only two more votes will be required
to cast a gloom over Ann Arbor.
Detroit viii celebrate her 200th anniver-
sary in 1901, and Detroiters desire to sig
nalize that event by the transportation of
the big school from this city to the Michi-
gan metropolis Although Detroit does
not seem oVerwarm about the project,
there is enough agitation to make Arbor-
ties feel queer. The latter point to, Ok
ford Cam bridge, Harvard, Yale, Prince
ton, Cornell and other big schools as not
being seated in cities, and furthermore call
attention to the great growth of the uni
versity in its present location.
The question could be settled by moving
the homeopath ic medical department to
the city. This would eliminate the fric-
ton between the two medical schools and
at the same time save the university to
its present garden spot site.

New York, Dec. 26.-The big increase in
surplus reserves Of 81. 645, 665 has been an

serve requirements.
The increase in cash was nearly all in
specie, the legal tender holdings increas-
ing only $4,000. The large increase of 81
640. SO in specie was due to the receipt
from San Francisco of the Australia gold
that has been arriving there, and to heavy
payments of the United States subtreas-
ury in pension and other government dis
burSementS.
Loans showed an increase of So, 657 800, a
remarkably small gain in view of the viz
tually unprecedented activity at the stock
exchange during the week, and as q re
suit of this increase and the increase in
cash here there was the increase already
stated in deposits Both the loan and de-
posit items again break the record, the

DOUBTED AND UNDoUBTED.

1t is to be doubted if that Span
ish squadron is at all in an envi-
able position in the waters of this
hemisphere.
It is to be doubted if the fleet as
a whole can steam within five
miles of the reputed speed OF
twenty knots an hour, the trial
speed of its best ships.
1t is to be doubted if the feet is
in anything like a comfortable
condition with regard to coal and
provisions.
One thing is not to be doubted,
however. That is, if the Spanish
fleet runs up against anything like
an equal force of Yankee ships it
will be wiped off the face of the
waters.
There isn't any reason at all to
doubt that.
