DULUTH's BLIND GENIUS.
Sustained Injuries In Fall That
Rlfchts His Ambition

hSAes
NEW HAVEN, Feb 2O-An ambition
for a new worlds honor was shattered
today when Alexander Cameron, the
blind philosopher of Yale, was obliged to
leave college. Last week he fell into an
open cellar and received cuts on his head
and face which may partially cripple him
for life. He would have won the degree
of doctor of philosophy in June, the
first time a(blind man ever mounted such
intellectual heights in the history of the
world.
Cameron was broken hearted when he
learned that he must give up his cher
ished hope, but the professors of the Yale
divinity school, where he has been study
ing, consoled him with. promise to al
low him to pursue his studies at his home
in Duluth, Mimi, and submit his thesis
In June for his DOCTORS degree.

LONDON, Feb. 2.-The Vienna CORE
spondent of the Standard says:
Strange rumors are afloat in Vienna,
and still stranger things are undoubtedly
occurring. Rumors point to impending
hostilities between Bulgaria and Servia.
There is no doubt that both are massjng
troops on the frontiers.
'It looks imposs. bic, however, that war
should occur, because neither country
possesses the necessary financial means,
and neither Russia nor Austria would
sanction such an outbreak
