DAVIDS0N'S CASH STORE.
OUR TRADE WINNER

It is wonderful how things have changed during the past ten years, only W years ago it was the eXcep- ton to find man who made it his rule to pay cash for his purchases. Everything was charged and settled for about once I year, anu sometimes never. This system was ruinous for he merchant, who was always deeply in debt and badly worried. It was disastrous for the customer because he had to pay more fir everything and. besides. it developed the shiftlessness in him. Did you ever notice the fel- low that owes everybody, has every thing charged and never pays bill the first time it is presented? He doesn't get along half so well and isn't respected as much as the man who pays cash for what he buys. Cash stores are up to date and the most prosperous people patronize them, That is why so many people are buy ing their hardware, steel ranges, tim ware. guns. cutlery and other useful things at DavidsOns Cash Store. The business growth of this concern is as- tonishinG. It is true they have advcr- Used considerably, but the main req son why the people are trading at Davidron's more and more is that there is saving that averages from l' Co 20 per cent. and that they have d -rrat variety of useful articles, be

BLIND 28 YEARS.
Buffalo Man Hysterical With Joy
 When Able to See the World.

when ADle 10 see the W OrlO. t. Baltimore, March 22.-valentine Batz of Buffalo spent twenty-eight years. in this world without knowing how it looked, and now his sight is restored. He became blind when years old. He had almost lost hope. when, through the influence of his brother, the Rev William Batz, of No 923 East avenue. Canton, he entered the Presbyterian Eye and Ear hospital ill this city. An operation was per formed and yesterday he left the parsonage of the Canton Lutheran church. of which his brother is pastor, for. his home in Buffalo. His eyes. closed since childhood by cruel dis ease. had been opened.
 When 4 years old Batz was stricken with smallpox. Spots remained on the eyeballs and the interior of the eyes seemed hardened and useless.
 Operation after operation was per formed but without the desired result. At last the Rev Mir BatZ determined to bring his brother to Baltimore. When he arrived he was taken to the hospital. where he was operated upon by Professor Douglass A. McConachie.
 The case was a most peculiar one. Professor McConachie made an ex- tremely delicate incision behind one eyeball and removed a hardened piece of flesh. This piece of flesh had been the dark curtain established by the. disease between the patient and his surroundings. With the removal of the piece of flesh there came flood of light.
 1The outlines of the room and the first human being he had seen since childhood were visible. Mir Ratz was hysterical with joy. He could hard ly control himself sufficiently to fol- low the doctors warning to be care ful. He wanted to see the world. so long hidden from him, all at once. The doctor and the brother shared his joy.

||To- morrow at Eleven O'clock Children
 Will Be Entertained at Library.


 The privilege of examining the new est books at the Bronson li- Drary was so much appreciated last week that the librarian has decid- ed to have an open shelf, to which will be allowed free access every Sat urday. In default of new books some or the most important and interesting or those added during the last year will be selected from the circulating department, and in addition some one or the finely illustrated art books will be on exhibition. On the coming Sat urday the public will have an oppor- tunlty to examine @ magnificent work on Japan in ten volumes, illustrated With photographs made and colored by hand in Japan, $50 native artists having been engaged in the work. Every detail of Japanese life is exhib- lted i'll these exquisite plates, and the accompanying text is written ,mainly by Japanese scholars having especial knowledge of the subjects assigned to them.
 The privilege of renewing books, as explained in the Democrat last Satur- day, has been much appreciated by the public, and has been made use of ln several cases. During the last two weeks an adaptation of the charging system has been arranged which will enable readers to have books reserved either by calling at the library or by sending request through the mail. The payment of one cent will be re- qu1red on delivery of the book, to GOV CT the cost of the postal notice sent 10 the reader when the book comes into the library. In the case of books winch are greatly in demand. this Will insure q certain, though it may be late satisfaction to the reader.

GILMAN HEIRS NUMEROUS.
Katherine Kupfer Thinks She Should
 Have a Share of the Millions.

Katherine Kupfer Thinks She Should
 Have Share of the Millions.
 Bridgeport, March 22.-Another claimant for share ill the Gilman es- tate came to the front last night in the person of Miss Katherine Kupfer, the daughter of the dead millionaire's former barber.
 Miss Kupfer became a protege of Mir Gilman several years ago, when she reyeloped q talent for art and was sent abroad to study painting, after a course in this country She declares that she has ill her possession a deed to what is known as the Blenner studio, q part of the establishment at Black Rock. The studio originally was built for the artist, Carl Blen- ner, to whom the tea merchant was devoted for some years, finally end ing his relations with MT Blcnner be- cause the artist found the social re- quirements of the Black Rock house. hold too exacting to be compatible with his artistic work. It is most elabOrately fitted up and q valuable piece of property. ..
 Miss Kupfer has not recorded her deed to the property she claims, but is none the less positive in her asser tions. She has retained Stoddard X Bishop of this city as her counsel, and the claim will be presented when the administrator takes possession of the estate.
 New complications appear daily in the Gilman estate contest. President Harsh of the Bridgeport Trust com pany announced yesterday that he had been informed that George Hartford of New York. who all along has been referred to as manager of Mir Gilman $ tea stores. also was q partner in the business. holding a large interest. This information would indicate that the size of the estate may be much less than has been supposed.
 Daniel Davenport attorney for Mrs Hall. was asked whether she proba- bly would resist when demand was presented by the administrators for l the surrender of the Black Rock prop erty. He replied: If the administra- tors want anything they can sue for it.'' He added that Mrs Hall will not | bring any more suits, but will act on 1 the defensive entirely.
 l The Bridgeport Trust company qualified yesterday as administrator | of the estate, presenting bond of $500.O0O given by the National Surety company of New York,
 The formal move of the Trust con- pany to take possession of the prop erty will be watched with much in terest, as it is supposed that it will lead to a clearing up of the mystery regarding Mrs Halls claims.
 Judge Nobbs of the probate court an- nounced yesterday that he will have a hearing on the appointment of ap- praisers for the Gilman estate. As the fees of the appraisers will be large, their duties comprising valua- ton of all the personal estate in the Unitd States. including 25O tea stores. it is believed this hearing will afford q likely opportunity for wrangle in court between opposing factions of the parties interested
 The appeal from the decision of Judge Nobbs on the appointment of ar administrator was filed yesterday.

BOARD GEORGES
A DEAF TEACHER
Opposes the Withdraw
al Of the Resignation
Of Miss Slavan.

The latest teacher to incur the displeas-
ure of the Board of Education is Miss NJ
H. Slavan, principal of the Cleveland
School The board has for long time en-
deavored to get rid of her because of her
deafness. Repeated visits to the school
by the directors, however. have shown
that the work and discipline in the school
were of the best and that Miss Slavan's
infirmity did not initiate against her abil-
ity to govern pupils.
Miss Slavan's attorney, s. V. Costello,
says that the board finally persuaded Miss
Slavan to resign and she mailed her resig
nation last week. Meanwhile her attorney
and some friends advised her to withdraw
her resignation and fight the board in the
courts ii necessary.
Superintendent Webster asked that the
letter withdrawing the resignation be read
at yesterdays meeting of the board, but
it was quietly put away by Mrs. Kincaid.
The latter said the letter was addressed
to her personally and she had right to
Withhold it until the board held its regular
secret session.
Superintendent Webster desired to know
why Madison Babcock, vice principal of
the Fairmount School, had not applied for
a leave of absence as other teachers are
required to do. Webster read letter from
Principal Johnson of the school complain
ing of Babccck's constant absence from
his post of duty. Webster objected to the
boad's evident desire to shield Babcock.

weeks ago Dy NTS. AlHCdlQ, DuI not raul

POPE RECEIVES
A CALF FORNIAN
G. McEnerney Granted
an Audience by His
Holiness.

Garret w. McEnerney, the well-known
attorney, returned yesterday from an ex-
tended tour of Europe. He had been
away nearly three months and looks
greatly benefited by his trip-in fact his
classmates from ST. Mary's College, who
went to Sacramento to meet him, say
that he looks as young as when he gradu-
ated. On his arrival in this city he went
directly to the home of his mother.
McEnerney says that the incident that
made the deepest impression on him dur
ing the tour was audience he had with
Pope Leo at Rome. He says that he
spent about half an hour with his Holt
ness.
McEnerney absolutely contradicts the
telegrans which announce that the Pope
is ia failing health. He says that the
aged pontin appeared to be remarkably
active and in good health. He talked with
great earnestness and was thoroughly
conversant with all matters pertaining to
Catholicism in the United States Mo
Enerney describes his Holiness a s a man
with serene expression and with black
eyes that seemed to pierce the person he
Is addressing.
McEnerney spent eight days in Rome
and says that besides its historical at
traction it is one of the most modern and
up-to-date cities that he visited The
wealthy men Of Rome live in modern
residences that are furnished with the
latest improvements In Ireland McEner

TEACHER MUST
Be REINSTATED
Jean Dwyer Wins Her
Suit Against Board
Of Education.

A writ of mandate was issued by Judge
Seawell yesterday directing the Board of
Education to restore Miss Jean Dwyer to
her position teacher in the fifth grade
Of the Sherman Primary School, from
which she was suspended last July be-
cause she was charged with having a
fierce temper. Judge Seawell also direct
ed that the Board of Education issue to
Miss Dwyer warrant for her salary dur
ing the time of her suspension.
Judge Seawell's decision confirms that
rendered by Judge Hunt in the case Of
Miss Mckinney. The legal battle be-
tween the teachers suspended by Mrs.
Mary Kincaid, president of the Board of
Education, and the board has been Bit
ter one. and victory has perched on the
banners of the teachers in every case
where the rights of the teachers against
whom charges have been preferred have
been brought into the courts.
In deciding that Miss Dwyer is entitled
to her position despite the mandate Of
Mrs. Kincaid, Judge Seawell said:
The Board of Education has power, under it's
general powers. to suspend a teacher pending
al investigation of charges. The power of sus-
pension and removal. however is a judicial
power and cannot be delegated by the board
to the president OF the board or the Superin-
tendent of Schools. In consequence the rule
of the board attempting to delegate that power
is illegal. Inasmuch the suspension of Miss
and not the board itself, the suspension is
void t}-

- Of the most capable and experienced men
in the express transportation business
that the country has ever known. For
some forty years he was connected with
Wells. Fargo & Co. and for nearly half
that time his name stood before the pub

of that wealthy and widely operating
concern.
