SQUIRTING EYES.
The Observations Of an English Specialist on
This Subject

The Observations Of an English Specialist oD
This Subject
In learned paper on the subject OF
convergent strabismus by Professor
Priestly Smith, which constitute the
last Bowman lecture of the Opthaf-
biological Society, it is stated that the
onset Of strabismus is often attrib-
uted to fit, fright, fall or other
such occurrence, and still more often
to an illness, such as whOOping cough
or measles. Making allowance for the
frequency of such events among chill
time and sequence in their elders. 1t
seems to me, says Professor Smith,
highly probable that these supposed
causes are very often real causes.
Some such explanation of the onset
was given, with show OF reason, in
more than two-ffths of my cases, and
the proportion would no doubt have
been higher had not many of the pa
tents been brought by persons who
knew nothing of their antecedents.
In many cases the history was de-
finite and not to be upset by cross-ex-
animation. For example a child who
had never been seen to squint before
came from school squirting badly, hav-
ing that morning been put into the
corner with cloth over her head. An
other did the same Immediately after
having his head pushed into bucket
of water by his brother; another after
sitting in scalding water; another after
being terrified by monkey which,
jumped on to her shoulder. No less
clear in many cases was the history
of onset during measles whooping
cough or other constitutional dis
orders.
All these are conditions which may
gravely disturb the nervous system.
Shock, anger or apprehension impair
the control of muscular action. They
cause the knees to shake, the voice to-
tremble and even the hand of the oph-
thalmic surgeon to become unsteady
Febrile disorders cause delirium, con-
vulsiOns and sometimes transient Stra-
bismus and leave the nervous system

that such disorders occurring in young
children may interrupt the action Of
these higher centres which control
the movements of the eyes, and this
not only where control is already diff
cult by reason of amblyopia or error
of refraction, but even in children
whose visual apparatus is normal for
their time of life, but not yet fully de-
veloped? The old idea that the squint-
ing child needs little skillful surgery
and nothing more is dying out. Most
people know that glasses are often
necessary, but that the child may re-
quire teaching, at some trouble, to use
the squirting eye is a new idea to
many. 1t is easily grasped, however,
and must be grasped if our efforts are
to be effective. I have used the word
educative as help in that direction,
Of course there are parents and there,
are children on whom all time and
trouble spent in this way are entirely
thrown away, but on the whole I have
been surprised at the care and pa
tience with which directions have been
carried out, even in homes where one
might least expect it-London Stand

ELECTIONS IN CUBA


Time Somewhat Distant when They
Can he Held to Advantage.
Washington, Aug. 16. - General
Brooke will be called to Washington to
consult with Secretary Root concern
ing affairs in Cuba. The secretary de-
sires to have the benefit of General
Brooke's knowledge of the condition
of things In the island before he reach
es any definite conclusions as to fu-
ture policy for Cuba. ,.
Colonel Kennon, of the Thirty fourth
infantry, recently appointed, but who
has been on duty at Havana as as
sistant adjutant general, had con-
ference with Secretary Root yesterday.
As to elections In Cuba, Colonel Ken
non told the secretary that he thought
the time was still somewhat distant
when they could he beld to advantage.
By provision in the peace treaty the
Spanish residents in the island were
given one year from the date Of ex-
change of ratifications in which to de-
clare their preference as to citizenship.
Elections could not be held, he said,
until after the year elapsed in justice
to this clause.
Colonel Kennon said that the people
of Cuba were fast coming to the con-
clusion that the interests of all would
be best subserved by these people &C.
cepting Cuban citizenship and by
Spaniards and Cubans acting in har-
mony, and while they do not mix well
at present, the feeling of irritation is
wearing away. The matter of suffrage
is one. the colonel said, that must be
carefully considered. The disadvant-
ages which great proportion Of the
people have been under and which
have prevented them from being edu-
Gated, will make it extremely hazardous
to grant universal suffrage when the
time comes for holding an election.

BRYAN At DIES MONIES.
Addresses a Large Audience Pre-
vious to the State Convention.
DON'T WANT SILVER NEGLECTED

Goes For the Trusts, But Says tho
Money Trust Is the Biggest OF All.
Imperialism Also Comes In For O
Few Hard Knocks.
Des Moines, Aug. 16.-Wiiliam Jen-
nings Bryan spoke for two hours at
the Auditorium last night to an audi
ence Of $500 people. Mr.. Bryan first
reviewed the record of the Republican
party, accusing it of putting the dol
lar above the man. He then took up
the silver question, saying prosperity
did not set in until six months after
the election, when the Klondike gold
mines began to be heard from.
The 100000 Democratic voters Of
the Democratic party In 1896 we're for
silver The 100000 Republican voters
were for platform which called for
international bimetallism. Only the
Palmer and Buckner voters were Of
the gold Sandwiches than one per
cent. Yet now the Republicans 60
step further and are mainly for gold
alone. Moreover, the Republicans
threaten to retire the greenbacks
the people on that issue.
The speaker next went after the
trusts, but said if the Democratic
party neglected the silver question to
attend to trusts 1t would rightly for
felt the confidence of the people. The
money trust is the biggest trust Of all.
He was glad the travelling men were
fighting the industrial trusts now but
sorry they had not seen the logic OF
events In 1896 and helped to fight the
money trust then. The men who make
trust speeches and applaud them are
bankers. A new danger of the trusts
has just been developed. When trust
gets control of all the factories in a
given line and the hands in one fac
tory strike. the trust will close that
one establishment and make its goods
at the others. When the workmen at
that place are starved to the point OF
working for any wages offered, that
factory will be reopened and lockout
to reduce wages will be inaugurated at
another factory.
Mr.. Bryan closed his speech by o
lengthy discussion of imperialism. Tho
difference, he said, between republic
and an empire is this: "A republic
needs an army of $4,000 for 10000 900
people. An empire needs four times
that large an army, when 10000 900
people is added. This suits the young
men who get fat jobs in the army, but
not the people who pay the $1,000 a
year needed to maintain the soldier in
the Philippines Mr.. Bryan gave
figures to show that England and other
nations do not COLOMBO rapidly and
said that with 20 people to the square
mile in America, and so to the mile In
the Philippines. there is no opportunity
there. Even if we succeed in killing off
all the natives. you cannot get young
Americans to go there-they prefer to
live in Iowa and Nebraska. The profit
will not equal the cost and the profit
will not go to the right people, but to
investment syndicates. Even II any
man is willing to trade for pottage,
and does not have taste for birth
right, he had better investigate the
pottage. AS the Tagals are largely
Christians and our native allies are
largely Mohammedan, we ought to
ask the sultan of Sulu to help US sub
due the Christian insurgents.

A Tribute to Gomez.

Havana, Aug. 16.-At demonstra-
ton in honor of General Gomez he
said he felt abashed that SO large a
concourse Of people should come to
pay tribute to his poor merits, as he
was only the brother of all Cubans.
Senior de la Tore. president Of the
Cuban National party, in replying,
said: General Gomez Is not the
brother, but the father of all Cubans.
Gratitude is the most sublime of ma
tional virtues Some have tried to
quench this feeling, but they have
failed. General Gomez Is far above
those who are trying to detract from
his fame Those who censure him are
only trying to bring about disorder
among the Cubans. Let them rather
proclaim the union of all Cubans with
Maxine Gomez as the model"

Paris, Aug. 16.--As an antl-Semitic
group was standing at the corner of
the Faubourg st. Denis and the Rue
de Valencienes last evening some
passersby we're greeted with cries Of
Down with the Jesuits," whereupon
they were surrounded and threatened
by the demonstrators. A supposed
anarchist then fired several shots,
woundlng three men. One of them, q
man named Camille. was taken to
hospital seriously wounded. The al
legged anarchist was arrested.
M. Guerin last evening displayed an
anti-Semitic tri-color flag on the roof
of the anti-Semite headquarters. On
the flag was a motto reading: France
for Frenchmen."
M. Waldeck- Rosseau conferred sew
eral times during the day with M. Le-
pine, the project of police, and in con-
sideration Of the fact that recourse
to force in the arrest of M. Guerin
might lead to useless sacrifice of
life, entailing still graver demonstra-
tions at the obseauies Of the victims,
the premier decided not to expose the
life of any man, soldier, policeman or
fireman, but to leave M. Guerin a
choice between self Imprisonment and
arrest.
Meanwhile it looks as though this
affair would have rather tame end
ing. The friends of M. Guerin arc
busying themselves to rescue him from
an impossible and foolish position.
Mr.. Stevens, son of the well known ar
fist, obtained from the government
permit to enter M. Guerin's house and
advise him to surrender at discretion,
assuring him that no one doubted his
courage, but that he ought not to COM
promise his friends and be the cause
of placing human life at stake.
Joseph Lasees, Anti-Semite, deputy
for Gers. who was furnished with
similar permit, visited M. Guerin at 9
O'Clock last evening, and conferred
with him, making every effort to per-
suade Guerin and his associates that
further resistance was In vain and dam
gerous. M. Lasces denied that he was in
charge of any negotiations or repre-
scented either side. He said he was
simply acting on his own RESPONSE
bility because he was anxious to avoid
strife.
There was considerable excitement
accompanied by demonstrations and
scuffles in the Rue Chabrol in the
course of the evening, and the police
made several arrests.
The leading Jews Of Europe are ar
ranging for meeting in Switzerland,
in order to form an international as
sociation for their defense against the
crusade of the anti-Semites and to
protect the Jews in France after the
Dreyfus court martial is ended.
The Matin asserts that M. Fabre, the
magistrate. now has proofs of a con-
spiracy against the republican govern
ment and that the Orleanist party has
expended considerable sums in Ma
tionalists propaganda.
