Major John M. Gould, whose daughter
Miss Annie S. Gould is reported to have
been killed at the Pao Ting Flu mission
in China told a PRESS reporter yester-
day afternoon that he had made up his
m ind on Saturday that his daughter
and Miss Morrill, had been murdered. He
says that he no longer entertains hope
of their being alive. The reports coming
from Shanghai and other points are con-
fiicting as to the time when this massacre
occurred, but there is no conflict as to
the massacre having occurred. This con-
fiict as to the dates is due to the fact that
the Chinese reckon the dates by the
moon and so there is an apparent differ
ence between their dates and ours.
Major Gould says that he has no doubt
but~that his daughter ana Miss Morrill,
were murdered after the repulse of Ad.
miraI Seymour expedition. 1t was Their
announced that Prince Tuan then com
manded the death of all foreigners. an6
Major Gould believes that the death Of
his daughter and Miss Morrill, followed
imm ediately afterwards.

COLLEGE BOYS ON THE rYNEDA1t

On the steamer Tynedale, which arrive
early yesterday morning from London,
were four college boys who had served as
cattlemen on the trip. They went in the
same capacity on the steamer Dargai
sailing from Portland about eight weeks
ago. Two of the young men are named
Underwood and Giles and are students at
Bowdoin college. The other two are
from Chicago. AS soon as they had
landed yesterday morning they started
directly for their homes. None of them
live In this city
The officers Of the TynedaIe say that
the young men enjoyed themselves In
their rather novel experience. 'sThey
had their bicycles with them, . said one
OF the officers, and did q good deal of
wheeling in England. They seemed to
be the best pleased with London but
were somewhat disappointed with the
Paris exposition which they visited. !" q
The college boys had nothing but the
kindest words for the treatment that they
received from the officers Of the Tynedale.

EGG MEM skANE
rsed as . Substitute For Skin Grazing
 For Surface Wounds

New York Special Chicago rrfbdne: Medical science has discovered that the hens egg provides an admirable substitute fir human flesh to graft ou human open wounds. The substitute is the delicate membrane that imme- diately lines tho Inside of hens egg. The German surgeons first found thut tnls membrane can be successfully used as the nucleus for granulation of open wounds. The surgeons of the Seney Hospital in Brooklyn were the first in this country to adopt and prac- tice the Germans discovery. Conse- quently Edgar A. Garbut will leave the seney Hospital, Brooklyn, and again take charge of his laundry. Garbut, S6 years old now, feli from his bicycle two years ago and so severely injured himself that as the disease of the bones advanced it was necessary to remove the bones of his left arm, his shoulder blade, and the left end, of his collar bone. While Garbut rallied, the sur geons soon saw that the wounds left by the operations would not heal on the surface. Garbut's wife. his nephew and young man in his employ Of fered of their cutiele to graft on Gar butts wounds. But on December 10 thr last one of the surgeons in the Seney Hospital remembered that the German surgeons say that the hens egg pro- yides substitute for human cuticIe in such cases. So the Seney Hospital surgeons procured some fresh eggs and from them took the membrane that lines the shells, and pieces of mem brane were planted on Garbut's wounds Soon new skin vas formed. The egg membrane did not form any part of the new membrane skin, bul simplv was a for it.

BETTER EYES NOWADAYS.
Desrste the Fact That spectacIes Arc
 Far More Common.

- v
 Far More Commen.
 Defective eyesight is certainly be- coming more and more common, and tho way the use of glasses has increas- ed would be extremely startling if we had not grown accustomed to them by degrees" said one of a group of New Orleans business men. When I was a boy it was very unusual to see young person wearing specs now we en- counter them at every tura. Our grandfathers used to be proud of their splendid vision, and in many cases it was retained into advanced old age, but at present pair of perfectly sound eyes are the exception instead of the rule. I am willing to bet that you can go up and down Canal street, from one end of the retail district to the other, without finding half a dozen business men of over 45 who can get along with. out artificial aid to the sight. paid a visit to a young ladies' seminary not long ago, and out of one class of B l counted IS wearing glasses. That :s 8 frightful percentage. If it doesn't indi- cate that the human eye is playing out under the strain of modern conditions I would like to know VI at 1t does mean?" 'I think can reassure you" said physician who had joined the party while the other was speaking. The human eye Is not playing out, but is merely receiving better care. The statistics on the subject do not extend back more than 90 or 40 years and are very imperfect. but they indicate thai there is less defective vision now than thare used to be, especially among school children. I know that is con- trary to the general impression, but it IS 8 faet, and is attributed to better lighted school rooms and better printed books. We have al. read how some of our great statesmen studied their less sons by the light of the fireplace, and if they ever did such a thing, which doubt, you may rest assured they paid for it with spectaeles in after life. The reason why so many glasses are seen nowadays is that the slightest visual defect is at once corrected, while in former times it was either ignored or unnotieed, and, though there are prob. ebfy more spectaeles among very old people you will likewise find fewer very old people totally bind"

WAY WOMEN WORRY MOST.
Have Mor~ Leisure Time Than Men and
 Naturally Think Over Things

have M0rr Leisure Time Than Men Nnc
 Naturally Think Over Things.
 From time immemorial women have beer rold-by women, as well as men, though naturally more often by the latter-that worry digs wrinkles in their faces and sprinkles gray among their tresses. These warnings do lit- tie good. The fair creatures go on worrying and will probably continue Why this is so is answered in this way The question of worry with women seems to be simply this: Wom- en are so hedged about by the littles ness of their protected lives-for it is the protected woman who does the most worrying-that 1t is hard to see beyond and above sometimes, and mat ters in this way get wholly out of fo- cus If women had the capacity with men oI getting up ana doing battle with things, worry would slip off their shoulders as easily as from off those of the average masculine. Man doesn't worry about debt, because he feels that he has it within him (sinee money making is his business) to make sufi- cient money to pay his debts-soIne time. Women look at 1t more prac- tically, and consider the now. Man doesn't generally worry about his health, because he really has not the eime. Let him become i'll, though. and have to stop his work, and how is il with him? Man doesn't worry about the future--he is so madly interested in the present; nor about his clothes. for the tailor stands between him and that; nor about home matters--they. from his point of view, are too trivial until he comes home to badly cook ed dinner, and then in his broad out look there is no excuse for this state Df things, for in business, If an em- ploye does not do his work properly, his employer gets some one who can. a method that will yet come to be powerful lever in the leveling of wom- en,s worries.
