The car, as reported By Mr.. Stead,
likes the United States AID admires
the principle Of united sovereign states
conducting their affairs peacefully
without standing armies" The prin-
eiple is an admirable one and it is bare
ly possible Europe may apply it some
OF these days. But when the United
States Of Europe copyright by Mr..
Stead) get that far along it is more
than probable there will be number
OF thrones sent to the historical Iun-
ber-room. That Is result Of the reaIi-
cation OF Mr. Stead's dream which he
has probably not mentioned to mis- au-
gust friend, the car.

made timely or belated concessions to
Justice. Recent legislation has made
it possible for the peasant to acquire
title to the land he cultivates. and

school work very trying and the strain

The following letter is from one OF
the best known men in this State
and man whose worth. truth and
honesty can not be doubted by any one
who is acquainted with him. He is a
prominent business man and his letter
will be OF interest to many of his
friends who knew of the dreadful af-
fiction which had befallen him during
the last I'VE years.
For the benefit Of those who do not
happen to know of his case, we would
state that he has been to noted oculsts
throughout the country, having con-
suited every prominent eye specialist
In this State. as well as In many 9TH
ers. and without exception. was told
that there was nothing that could be
done to help him.
Like a drowning man grasping at
straw. he decided to cali on DR.. Sey-
mour. of whom he had heard so much.
After careful examination. the doc
tor told him that while ne could be OF
some assistance to him and that
glasses would be the only thing on
earth that would help HIM, there was
some question as to whether he would
be fully satisfied with the results. with
this understanding the treatment was
begun and lenses made for him, which
are OF very extraordinary nature,
and something entirely new to any one
who has ever followed this work in this
city.
Mr.. Griffin told the doctor In con-
versation on the subject. that he was
unable to do any Of his own corre-
spondence and. In fact, the only way
he could use his eyes at all In the
transaction of his business was by
using a blackboard placed close to tho
window on which he made heavy marks
with chalk. By this means he could
make figures large enough for him to
see Another point worth mentioning
in this connection is the fact that he
was assured that his eyes would i'm
prove by the use of the glasses and
the following letter is proof of the
wonderful effects of the glasses upon
his sight:
