all that he needs to find out just what is wrong. A man may see the print alike with bad eyes or wrong glasses: he may read with comfort with bad eyes or wrong glasses: but he cannot see the print alike and read with con- fort undess the eyes are about right. or made so by glasses. The, cheap glasses in the stores suit about half of the people. They do no harm. and cannot be improved upon if this test shows nothing wrong.
 About one old person in four uses but one eye in reading. This is because of wrong glasses. The best oculists of ten spend hours in testing the eyes of the young and then fail to get the right glasses. As for the eyes of the aged they are usually gone over in per functory and stereotyped way. and given a pair of magnifers. and thesa suit only about half of them. The other half have astigmatism, together with unlike eyes. While eye imperfectiors may not cause as much pain to the aged, they interfere far mOre with the proper use of the eyes after middle aga than before. The eyes of the young are hard enough to it. but the eyes of the aged are even harder if there is the least astigmatism or, difference in the size of the two eyes. Reading is the chief and about the only comfort that most old people get out of life. and no doubt early dotaga often cones from not being able to keep the mind active by reading. The routine way of test ing the eyes of the aged is a great evil, for most of them can read or see about as well as ever if tl4ey only get the right glasses. Many do this with ped dleIs glasses.
 In farsiShtedness the eyeball is too small or tc0 short: in nearsightedness too long Or too large. and in astigma- tism it is imperfectly rounded. Astig- matism causes more eye trouble and interfer4s moe with reading than all other troubles put together. People who lave every kind of mysterious eye trouble. when properly examined are usually found to have astigmatism.

SPFCTACLES AND EYEGLASSES
When They Should and Should Not
 Be Needed and Worn.

Wearing spectacles or eyeglasses out of doors is always disagreement of ten an injury. seldom necessity. It is d common thing for people with some trifling or passing trouble of the eyes, only needing rest, to be advised to wear glasses all the time. If this is doLe the ciliary or focusing muscles may get weak from not having proper work, and spectacles become a necessary evil.
 Those who can be benefited by wear ing suitable glasses for reading and near work are many. Few, though, need to wear them out of doors or in public; indeed, more than half who do so see at a distance as well as or bet ter with the naked eyes than with the spectacles.
 If a persons vision for distant Ob jects is satisfactory to himself and seems good enough to keep him out of danger, there is no sense in wearing glasses on the street or in public. If the right glasses are worn for several hours a day while reading or about the house the eyes will be rested SO much that the useful exercise of out-of-door sightseeing may be taken without the spectacles. As soon as the eyes feel tired wear them again until rested.
 Naturally, Some eyes need much more rest than others. The nearer perfect the fit of the glasses the longer they can be left off at time. Wrong glasses may help more or les, but they do not entirely relieve the strain of the focus sing muscles, so they have to be worn nearly all the time to get all of the lit tie help that comes with such glasses
 Distant vision requires little work of the focusing muscles and will not cause distress for hours if these mus cles are perfectly rested beforehand. If glasses are really needed, reading and near work should hardly ever be under taken without them, for strain of the focusing muscles from tnls cause often lasts for hours or even days.
 Glasses are Very disfguring to women and girls Most tolerate them because they are told that wearing them all the time is the only way to keep from hay ing serious eye trouble. If glasses are all right they will seldom or never have to be worn in public.
 The easiest way to tell whether glasses are needed, or to find out if they are anything like right, is to hold the finest print about sixteen inches of and right in front of the eyes with d good light falling on the print from be- hind. Keep both eyes open during the test and cover first one eye and then the other with card to see if the print looks exactly alike to each eye. If 1t does there is nothing wrong enough to pay any attention to. After the if tleth year this test will show the slight est imperfectiOns. If one under thirty finds the print unlike, or is unable t. read with comfort. sonething is badly wrong. The complicated tests all have their places, but this test is given to the general practitioner, and is about

No city is big enough for two per-

1t is all very fine to theorize about
competitions; but competition in re-

Improbable to the companies. Tele-
phone is one of those natural monopo-
lies. created by the very force of cir

service means a great deal Of an an

GERsoN's BIG DISPLAY.

Gerson's spring opening was held
yesterday and will continue during the
week. Never before did this store see
a greater day. 1t was great in every
respect-great in crowds, great in
magnificence Of the display and great
in the number of sales. Mr. Trougott.
the proprietor Of Gerson's, may we'll
congratulate himself on the stock and
appearance of his store. His efforts
to please the patrons with modest
prices, latest styles and best qualities
have produced excellent results, which,
from the pleasant expressions heard
on all sides, shows that the patrons
are appreciative. While the event of
Gerson's opening is always watched
with keen interest by women generally.
the opening has attracted more than
usual attention this year. This fact
was fully attested by the big crowds
that visited the store and the sales
were correspondingly large.

YOUNG LONERGAN
TERRIBLY INJURED
Horse He Was Driving Jumped from
Cedar Avenue Bridge, Carrying
Him with It-Horse Unhurt.

Richard Lonergan. jr., son Of Rich
ard Lonergan, the we'll known grocer
on Chestnut street, West Scranton,
was hurled over the Cedar avenue
bridge yesterday afternoon and badly
injured, owing to his horse taking sud-
den fright and getting beyond his con-
trcl
Mr.. Lonergan fell fully twenty feet
and landed on a pile Of iron ore. Both
of his arms were broken above the
wrists; his left knee cap was fractured,
and he also suffered a compound frac-
ture Of the skull. At the Lacka wanna
hospital, where he was taken, it was
thought, however, that he will in time
recover from his injuries. owing to his
splendid constitution.
The accident happened about 5.l5
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Lon
ergan was going towards South scran-
fathers store.
AS they neared the railroad tracks
the horse took fright at an engine 60
ing by and bursting into a wild squirt
of speed passed entirely beyond the
drivers control. 1t dashed toward the
bridge. and as it reached 1t broke loose
from the traces and sprang over the
rail. carrying Mr.. Lonergan along. He
fell unconscious on the pile Of ore,

was entirely uninJured. 1t was hitched
to the wagon again and taken to the
barn in West Scranton
Mr.. Lonergan was lifted up and car
ried into the Office of the Lackawanna
Iron and Steel company near by. The

notified and in the meanwhile every
effort was made for the injured mans
comfort.

"The gentleman must keep still.

"The gentleman must keep stili. I
can control the speaker"
WELL" responded Mr.. Morris, II will
keep still IL you can control him."
At this last remark Mr.. 0rier gave
up the fight and, casting a glance Of
withering scorn at Mr.. Morris, talked
for few moments on the other Item
of 1900 for controllers clerk hire. He
thought that this should be allowed In
all fairness. Mr.. Calpin also spoke
briefly, saying that personalities should
not be dragged into the council cham
ber.
BROKE A QUORUM.
Some one moved at this point that
the item be passed notwithstanding
the mayors veto. Just as the vote
was about to be put Chairman Keller
looked down and discovered that
Messrs. Grier, Calpin. Ruane, Norton
and r. r. Morris had vanished into
the exterior darkness. leaving only ten
members present. He accordingly de-
clared the meeting adjourned.
1t Is pretty safe to predict that when
the vote Is taken on this item next
Monday morning before reorganization
the veto will be sustained, as II re-
quires fourteen votes to pass over the
mayors head. and 1t is, in the Ian
guage Of David Harum. pretty burned
hard" to get said fourteen votes.
Common council also passed on third
and final reading the ordinances
amending the general police ordinance
and fixing the tax levy.
The ordinance authorizing the city
controller to transfer sundry balances
now remaining in special city accounts
to other accounts was defeated on third
reading. Chairman Keller protested
vigorously against 1t, claiming that II
placed too much power in the con.
troller's hands.
