DIR. G. GOLDSTEIN,
The WeII.KnOwn Eye Specialist,
Will Be In This City July
q and Y.

! The abuse OF that delicate organ
the eve, is a prevalent sin of this
age and country. The Germans
appreciating It's delicate structure
and sensitiveness, had wise say
ling, "Touch not the eye, except
with your elbow" That is eauiva-
lent to saying don't touch your eye
at all.
A still further caution in refer
ence to the eye is illustrated in the
experience of those negligent per-
sons who grope through life strain
ing aud running the sight instead of
consulting upon the first sign of
weakness, squirting or watering.
Another fatal mistake is made by
clinging too long TO favorite pair
of glasses that may have once suit
ed the conditions of sight perfectly
and opened new view of the world
and things present, but alas the
days have sped by and age has so
changed the retina as to render
your glasses worse than useless.
Properly adjusted glasses will
most certainly preserve and
strengthen the eve; while improper
ly adjusted glasses are positively
so Injurious as to be many times
worse than no glasses at all.
Let us advise those who find the
least interest in this article to avail
themselves of an opportunity to con-
suit DR.. G. Goldstein and allow him
to straighten the matter out with
you in short order. He is reliable
and responsible, standing in the
front of bis profession, and his skill
is fully and thoroughly established
Throughout the territory in which
he has practiced for many years.
DR.. Goldstein will be at the La
than Hotel.

CORN DROPS.
The Gates Corner at Chicago
Terminates.

The Gates corn corner came 10
an abrupt termination Tuesday,
the shorts effecting private set
tlement for about II 900, 900 bushels.
The terms were not disclosed, but
it is thought that eighty or eighty
one cents was the figure, and that
the syndicate's profit would not be
more than S1,5OO,OOO. 1t is believed
that the syndicate is left with be-
tween 4 10000 and 100000 bush
els of cash corn, the so-called
''corpse, ;" which cost approximate
ly seventy cents and must be dis
posed of before the corner can be
called absolutely settled. The
farmers are given the credit of the
unexpectedly early ending OF the
corner by deluging the Chicago
market with their corn at top fig
ures. With the end of the corner
the price dropped 15}4 cents to 65A
cents.

AN AGED TRAMP.
Man With Many Clothes Who Wanders
 Through Naugatuck Valley.


 Southington, April 10.-Thomas Brennan, an eccentric old man, who for score of years has tramped a route of q score of more of towns in western Connecticut, was found in Oak Hill cemetery Tuesday night by Officer McCabe, who had gone there ill response to a telephone message that crazy man had been walking about the cemetery all the afternoon regardless of the severe storm. The officer succeeded in arousing Brennan sufficiently to get him aboard passing electric car. The old man was almost helpless from exposure. He was taken to the lookup, where he was piled with hot drinks and made comfortable for the night. Yesterday he was so weak that he was unable to leave the lookup.
 Brennan is to all appearances about 70 years old. He travels route which takes him from here to Waterbury. and down the Naugatuck Valley, to Wood, up towards New Milford and then through Norfolk, Torrington. New Hartford, Avon, Farmington, Plainville, and Southington. Some times he reverses his trips, which take from seven weeks to three months. On Tuesday he walked from Farming ton. Winter and summer make no difference in his dress, which always consists of four or five coats and as many pair of trousers. He always wears rubber boots and he carries a heavy cane or staff and an old sack. In the latter is his extra clothing. Owing to his inability to pronounce words of more than one syllable, it is difficult to learn his story. At times lie refuses to converse with those he meets and only to those who have met him several times will he do more than say mice day" The late Dr James H. Osborne, who took quite an interest in the wanderer, was of the opinion that a shock of some kind had affected the mans power of speech. also his brain.
