my head, and tried TO avoid my friends, never
going to church or any other public place, as
was made miserable because l could not hear.
People had to put their faces right mp to mine
and speak very loud to make me hear. Every
person discouraged me when l spoke OF trying

read of DIR. Byers. and the methods he used for
restoring lost hearing. Something told me that

went and placed myself under his care. It ID
with great pleasure can now tell of my recov.
cry. II was only month when suddenly
heard the noise Of ears, wagons, everything. and
it seemed so loud it startled me even the clock
seemed to tick four times as loud as it should.
Since then l have improved. until now am per.

CRAFT AUTOPSY uNAvAlLlNe.
coroner's Physician Unable to Deter
mine Presence of Poison.

New York, Sept. 29.-An autopsy was
performed on the decapitated body of
James Craft, who was murdered early
Friday morning in the Empire Cafe in
Twenty-ninth street.
The coroner's physician, who per-
formed the autopsy, was unable to de-
tefmine whether there We're traces OF
choral or other poison in Crafts stom-
ach. "A chemical analysis of the con-
tents will be made to determine the
point.
If traces of choral were found in the
stomach, the police say, this would
show plot to rob the victim. Mrs.
Craft, wife of the murdered man, said
yesterday that Craft had a considerable
sum Of money with him when he left his
home at Glen Cove. Mamie Moore,
alias May Turner, and Ida Craven, the
housekeeper at the Empire. who We're
arrested as being possibly witnesses in
the case, were arraigned in police court
Saturday. They We're remanded to the
custody of the coroner.

These Rushing Days.
It is strange, indeed. to look back up
on the manners and customs of the rae

and contrast them with the new meth.
dds. In 1850 there was the journey
down to the little Surrey town, and q
coachman thought himself lucky Il he
could force his way from Westminster
to EPSON in twelve or fourteen hours
without dislodging wheel en- route.
None but the richest class could afford
to drive there at all, for those were
days when tradesmen thought, ike

years as much as they could AFFORD.
In those days, too, a visit to EPSON
meant making week Of It Lodging

local magnate. Racing began about II
q. M, and after witnessing one or two
heats the company would retire to the
town to dine, returning later to witness
the conclusion Of the sport.
Nowadays the man Of fashion for the
most part elects to travel to and fro
by rail. He gets his Derby, as It were
