TIE SCHOOL CHILDREX'S EYES.
Contagious Diseases Epidemic in New
York. the Health Commits
siOuer Says.

New York, ssJuly 31.-Contagious
eye diseases havereached the proper
tons of an epidemic among the
school children of Manhattan accord
ing to a report by the health com.
missioner.
"a few weeks ago." he says, Sin
order to learn the extent of an eye
disease i'm the schools of Manhattan,
lappointed twelve specialists to go
as far as they could in the fortnight
of the school year then remaining.
They examined 55.470 children in
thirty-six schools and learned that
6,670 or II per cent, exhibited con-
tagious eye diseases.
OF these 2,31S were OF the severest
type of trachona. necessitating al
NEST immediate operation. In the
opinion OF the examiners all of these
children should be excluded from the
schools to prevent further infec-
ton"
The commissioner asked that
room be set apart in each building
suitable for medical examinations.
To this the board agreed, Several
of its members expressed an opinion
however, that the reports of the spe-
cial examiners have been grossly
exaggerated.

Died While Driving With Sweetheart

Flat River, Mo-, July 30.-Miss
Hattie Armstrong, pretty 17-year-
old girl OF Bonnie Terre, died last
evening while out driving with her
sweetheart. About s O'Clock she and
her friend Maud Crump, with their
sweethearts, John Wilkinson and Lee
Campbell, left Bonnie Tree for a drive
through Flat River. When thepass-
ed through Desloge, one OF the boys
got out and went into drug store.
He remained several minutes and re-
turned with chewing gum and candy.
AS they drove to Flat River, the girls
ate the candy.
After driving past the Klondike
saloon in Flat River, the boys got
ont and went in. The buggy was
then turned around and they started
home. Miss Armstrong complained
OF a headache. Campbell laughingly
remarked that she had appendicitis.
She laughed and fell back in the
seat dead. Medical assistance was
summoned at once, but no avail A
small bottle and a handkerchief were
found near the buggy. Miss Crump
says 1T was a bottle of camphor with
which they tried to revive the dead
girl.
At the Coroner's inquest Doctor
Donnel stated that he could not tell
the cause of her death,
Miss Armstrong; relatives say she
had recently been complaining of
heart trouble. The Coroner's Jury
reported that the girl had come to
her death from causes unknown to
them.
No one who saw the body was sum-
moned as witness and no post-mor-
tenn examination was made.

Padding the Pension Rolls

Pension claims appear to bear no
logical ratio to actual deaths and
wounds in action. \ Washing ton
correspondent compares the records
OF five regular with five volunteer
regiments that figured in the war
with Spain. The volunteer regim ents
had single man killed or wound
ed, but they have 5000 less y pen
sion claims filed. The regular regi-
ments lost J64 in killed and wounded
and have only filed 760 claims.
Behind these figures the fine work
OF the professional claim agent and
the pull" of the Congressman for
his volunteer constituents is readily
discerned. The regular" has not SO
many friends to pull the wires at
Washington for him.
1t is our civil war experience over
again. The grand total OF Union
soldiers who were killed or died OF
wounds or disease during "the great
conflict" was 27s,379. Three times
that number OF pensioners have been
carried on the rolls for ten years past.
Garfield said about 1879 that the
civil war pension list had then reach
ed its limit; to-day, twenty.three
years later, it carries close upon l.
100000 names, four times as many
as in 1879. Abraham Lincoln put in
the field from first to last 1850, 1872
soldiers. More than that number OF
claims" for pensions have been al
ready filed, and over $4,000 new
"claims" are coming forward every
year.
The padding OF the pension list is
one OF the worst OF the many forms
of robbery penetrated on The people

st. Louis, Oct 13.-The Interstate

nation. George Hanford of New York
city is engineering the deal. 1t is
proposed to take over tie business OF
the entire line of wholesale grocers OF

ton will be formed, which will buy
outright the business and good will OF
all the firms. A central office OF the
company will be determined, probably

on all of the leading grocery products,
do the buying for all the houses in the

turing of grocery products, but rather
that the business between the large
manufacturers and the company will
be through one general office. 1t is
said that this will enable the company
to buy in such large quantities as to
greatly reduce the first cost OF the

$4,000 Old BOYS PARADE.
President Roosevelt Was Driven
Along The Line.
1.-THE BOYS ARE MARCHING"

Washington, Oct 1o.-For more than
six hours the people in Washington
hummed the chorus of the civil war
song, "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp the
Bows are Marching" The parade was
the climax of the thirty-sixth encamp-
ment of the Grand Army.
The president of the United States
also lent his energies to the entertain
ment of the capitals guests. Unable
to endure the strain of reviewing the
column from stand, he rose from his
reclining chair and had himself driven
up and down the line. The unusual
interest thus manifested was appre-
ciated by the old soldiers and the
president was everywhere received by
them with loud applause. More than
five hours time was consumed by the
procession in passing the reviewing
stand in front of the White House.
There were at least $4,000 men in line,
and the estimate of Commander-in-ch
Torrance ran as high as 10000. At
night the veterans held campfires in
the dig tents on tie White House lot.
The procession was reviewed from
the stand Immediately in front of the
White House by Commander-in-chief
Torrance and other notables.
Sitting in the midst of the distin-
puished ex-Union soldiers was the
cx-Confederate Lieutenant General
Longstreet. He was escorted to the
front, together with Gen. Sicllcs, and
the two appeared side by side and were
greeted with hearty cheers. 1t was
said to be the first time that an eX-
Confederate officer appeared in Grand
Army reviewing stand. Mrs. Gen.
John A. Logan, who was on the stand,
received much attention from the vet
Grams as they marched by.
Every Kansan in the parade carried
an umbrella painted on the outside to
represent a huge sunfower. This
probably was the most unique display
made by any state, though it was only
little more so than that of Iowa, whose
members each carried big ear OF
native corn on the side where formerly
canteens were borne, these ears being
suspended from bright, broad, new
yellow ribbons They passed the re-
viewing stand shouting in unison;
"Hurrah hurrah! for corn and hay!
we are the boys from Iowa"

involved no wage scale, but had to do
with conditions of work. In some
points tia miners conceded, in others,
the operators gave way.
