One day last week while the agricul-

sentative Corllss of Michigan made a
fierce onslaught ON the bureau Of ami

TAKING IN MR.. MOODY.
How His Confidence Was Abused by
the Natives of Bethnnv


! When d. L. Moody went to Bethany
during his travels in the east, he was
very soft hearted over all the multi
tude OF beggars there, not only because
the place is so unusual but because he
was moved by it's beautiful traditions.
He gave quantities of 'backsheesh"
and then asked if any of the children
had the names Of Mary and Martha.
Yes, indeed, they had. And that open.
ed his pockets again.
The news of his generosity spread
through the village, and new claim
ants came until his visit seemed likely
TO result in fight for existence. The
case was getting desperate, and he
toid the draGoman to call for silence
While he made an address. Then he
said:
Il have come G00O miles to see this
llttie village of Bethany. 1t was
place my Master loved to visit, and |
nave come TO see it because he loved
IL. am very glad to meet YOU all. but
now want to be alone | have no
more backsheesh, and bid you good
by"
A line looking boy of 1G replied to the
ADDRESS. He spoke fiuently and with
the grace of an orator. Mr.. Moody
was delighted with the beginning of
nls Grafton, but not with its conclusion.
We are glad to see the gentleman
ana his friends who have come SO far
put the gentleman must not think that
MS actions are equal to the Importance
VI HIS visit, Six thousand miles is n
long way to come, and the gentleman
must have sacrificed much to make the
iS''' ia consequence it is natural for
IN 10 expect that he would be munih- |
cent in hacksheesh. This he has NOT
'e'li' ana we now expect that he will !

ME- Moody was SO Disguised that he
spahdoned the situation entirely ana
l'lrrird away With his friends.

soul above backsheesh.'
And did you think, too. that some

Cause aud Cure Of This Prevsiens
Amfctf0n.

Cause and Cure of This Prevalent
Amictfon.
The Youths Companion Of q recent
date contains the following treatise
on a disease which is more or less
common at the present time in oil
sections Of the country. It says:
Cataract is q disease of crystalline
lens of the eye. whereby it's trans
parency is more or less diminished
and the sight correspondingly i'm
pared. The trouble occurs most
commonly as an accompaniment OF
advancing years; but it is by no
means confined to the aged, for cat
aract is often seen in children, and
may even exist from birth.
The opacity may be in the lens
itself. or in the capsule which covers
il. and it may involve the entire
length and thickness of the lens, or
q pAFb VI ~ WHY
II is often impossible to discover
the cause of o cataract, but 1t IS usu-
ally some disturbance of nutrition.
such as ricketts, in the young. diabetes
in the middle-aged, and the normal
failure of the nutritive processes in
the old. The cause is sometimes a
local one, such as a blow or a pune
ture of the lens by q scrap OF iron
filing or other minute body thrown
with force against the ball OF the
eve. Eye-strain, resulting from as
tigmatism or other imperfection OF
vision, which is allowed to go Moor
rected by glasses. is another I'M
doubted cause of cataract.
The early symptoms OF the trouble
are not very pronounced. There is
no pain, the pupil of the eye is not
cloudy, and the sight-in the case OF
an old person-may even be I'M
proved al first, SO that the patient IS
often said facetiously to be renewing
his youth and to be getting second
sight.
Frequently one of the first things
noticed-and il is one which should
always suggest to a person past mid
die life the desirability of consulting
an occulist-is the seeing of two or
more images of an object when it is
looked at with one eye.
Later the sight grows dim, and if
the pupil is inspected. more or less
of its center is seen to have a milky
appearance. In most cases the pa
tient can see best in a dim light, for
the pupil is then dilated and he sees
around the obstruction; but some-
times, when the change in the lens
begins at the edge, the sight is best
in a bright light. when the pupil is
contracted.
The operation for cataract is usu-
ally postponed until the process has
advanced to such a point that the
patient can just make out the light
of a candle across the room. and the
swelling Of the lens, which generally
occurs at one stage. has subsidized.
the most common operations are
"discission." by which the cataract
is broken up and absorbed, and ex-
traction. The first of these is, as
q rule, more appropriate in the case
of a child, the second in the csse of
an old person.

Washington, January 1.-THE Unit

it's hearing in the case Of Charles Huns

Steamship Company, and Senator
Lindsay continued the argument began
by him on Friday. The action involves
the question Of pilotage, The owner of
the steamship claiming exemption on
the ground hat Porto Rican ports had
ceased to be foreign.
Senator Lindsay was followed by F..
K~ingsbury Curtis for the steamship
company, who commended that the ves-
sci upon which pilotage was demanded
was exempt on the ground tina Porto
Rican ports had ceased to be foreign
and that by the Act of April II, 1900,
the trade between Porto Rico and the
United States has been made coast
wise.
The court authorized Charles A.
Gardner to file a brief in the pending
Porto Rico n Philippine cases in be-

tains the governments contention that
it is entirely competent for the United

Russell Closes His Term with an Ava

Especial to The MeSsenger.)


Raleigh, n. c.. January 14.-Gov-
ernor RusselI's last official days are
marked by an avalanche Of pardons.
People have no idea what number he
has issued. Today there We're four is
sued. Three of these were discovered
by your correspondent. and were to Jim
Wilson, of Edgecombe; A. ]. Carver, OF
Madison county, and William Jentry,
of some other western county. 1t is
said that during the past thirty days
some thirty or forty pardons have been
granted. 1t is further said that the
time of something like a third OF the
convicts in the main prison has been
shortened. One OF these thus lucky is
John Magon, who was whipped on the
Northampton farm and whose name
was familiar in a penitentiary investi-
cation. Alex Johnson. said to have
been one Of the worst convicts, was
pardoned.
The governor. the other day, gave
out news of the pardon of A. c.. Flynn,
yet, within two years a special reward
of something like $500 was offered for
the recapture of this very man, who
had escaped from h ~penitentfary
farm, people in his section urging that
q large reward be offered. His captor
caught him at breakfast ana only in
this way prevented desperate work.
