Doings at winona Lake

July 6 saw the close of the splen-
did conference for young people
inaugurated by the Rev. DR. j.
Wilbur Chapman. Monday July
Fl the school of Sunday-school
pedagogy was opened by the dean,
Rev. II. M. Hamill Of Nashville,
Tenn, recently International Field
Secretary of Sunday-Schools.
The purpose of the Winona AS
sembly is to convene annually a
great summer school for Sunday
school workers to be conducted by
eminent specialists. 1t will draw
large numbers of workers IRON the
Middle West, and the object is to
make this summer school work Just
what the National Bible Confer
ence is under DR.. Chapman.
In conference held by those in
charge, it was thought best to
make this season a substantial be-
ginning. 1t was decided that for
this and all future seasons the in.
structions should be gratuitous.
The Inn chapel will be used for the
general course meetings under DIR.
Hamill, while Miss Kirby, of In
dianapolis will have the primary
course. Mr.. Marion Lawrence, of
Toledo, Ohio, who is considered by
John Wanamaker the finest super
intendent on the continent, will be
one of the instructors.
The work planned for the pres
ent by the Assembly covers lines
of Bible study Sunday school
management, teaching, history,
and special features of model pri-
mary work. The aim of the course
is to help the average Sunday
school teacher, and to train those
who wish to take up the work. At
the close of the four weeks course
special Assembly diplomas will be
conferred upon all regular enrolled
students taking the full course.
1t is desired to make this a mod
ell Sunday-school as far as it is
possible considering its transitory
constituents. The interest in the
school is great, new students en-
rolling every day. There is nc
doubt but that DR.. Hamill will
meet with great success and Vino.
ma Lake in years to come will have
the largest training school for
Sunday school workers in the
country. Rev. G. A. Joplin is in
attendance and will give some in
teresting facts concerning the
work in each issue of the ADvo-
CATE while he is there.

For the q. s.

The greatest rush of Scandina-
Wan emigration to United States
since the eighties, is now on. The
cause is the unprecedented hard
times throughout Sweden. The
emigrants are bound chiefly to the
Western States, where they will
settle on agricultural lands The
total number of emigrants which
left Copenhagen for the United
States during the nine months end
ing with March, 1902 was 27,O33.

THE MAcHINIST'S EYES.
Special Reasons Why Craftsmen Should
Watch Out.


Defects in the eye are often unsus-
pected by those who have them
astigmatism being perhaps, the most
common defect which is thus unsus-
pected. The difficulty is that we can
see through no eyes except our own,
and thus we have no standard of COM
parison. We go through life, or, at
least, through the first half OF two
thirds of it, thinking that our vision
is good, when, could we but see
through really perfect eye, we would,
in many cases, learn at once that our
supposed good vision is in reality very
poor. Two of the editors of this pa
per, says the American Machinist,
have had this experience. In both
cases the vision was, so far as known,
clear and perfect. In one case there
was smarting of the eyes when read
ing in the evening, and in the other
there was an annoying discharge of
tears in cold weather.
Eventually these annoyances led to
an attempt to get help, and in both
cases the eyes were found to be astig-
matte. When suitable glasses were
made and used both parties found
that they had never known what clear
vision meant. In one case the first
help obtained was of the incompetent
kind referred to by Mr.. Ridderhoff,
and the first glasses obtained were
unsuitable. No one should trust the
travelling spectacle peddler OF the or
dinary optical store, but go to aDocu-
list, who will apply suitable tests and
prepare a prescription which may or
may not be such as to be filled from
glasses kept in stock. Glasses for sim
pie far or near sight can usually be
obtained from stock, but for astig-
matism they must usually be ground
to suit the oculist's prescription, and
when astigmatism exists in the COM
bination with near or far sight, as is
frequently the case, the attempt to
find suitable glasses in stock is hope
less.
A machinist's work is particularly
to astigmatic eyes. The habitual use
of graduated scales of any kind is try
ing enough, but when, as with the
new scales which machinists have to
use, the lines are engraved in metal
without contrast of color, the condi-
tion is still more trying. A machin-
ist who finds that such scales are more
distinct in some angular positions
vertical, horizontal or inclined, as the
case may be-than others, may feel
pretty sure that he has astigmatism,
though the opposite experience
should not lead to the opposite con-
elusion. No one but an oculist can
determine with any certainty whether
ones eyesight is good or not.
Defective eyes frequently make ef-
forts to indicate their need of help,
giving rise to symptoms which would
attract an oculist's attention at once,
but which, to the average man, ap-
pear to have no connection with the
eyes, and hence serve no purpose in
directing attention to them. We have
known of two cases of violent period
ical headaches which physicians were
unable TO help, but which disappeared |
rs by magic when properly fitted eye
glasses were adopted. .~

The Outlook for Statehood.

The Washington newspaper corre- spondents are probably correct in their conclusion that the chances are at leas, even that the omnibus bill will pass The measure may be amended in some features, but this is not certain So far no statesman whose Judgment Is worth a great deal has ventured to predict what the fate of the bill will be in the senate. The Republican tele- graphed to Senator Quay and to Deie- gate Flynn for their opinion of the out look. but neither of them, in view of all the circumstances, has felt justified in stating anything for publication. It is certain, however. that there Is every incentive for work on the part of the advocates of statehood. The vote ir the senate will be close. undoubtedly. and q single vote may determine the result
 Every citizen of Arizona who has such an acquaintance with republican senator as to justify him in making a request, should ask support for the omnibus bill
 It is to be hoped that the eminent re- publicans named by the citizens meet ing in Phoenix-Ciovernor Brodie, for mer Governors McCord and Murphy, and Surveyor General Price-or some of them, ct least, will be able to go to Washington at an early day. The bill may go over the holidays. and 1t may nnt

Senator Bard's Astounding Poistion.

A Washington dispatch to the Los Angeles Times quotes Senator Bard of California as giving these astounding reasons for his vote in the committee on territories against the admission of Arizona and New Mexico:
 "Senator. Bard today told why he voted against the omnibus statehood bill in the senate committee on terri tories. In the case of Arizona. Senator Bard holds that the indications are that 1t has reached the height of its development for the present-probably for a considerable number of years to come. It's irrigable land has been put under cultivation to great extent. so far as there is necessity for irrigation: its mines are being fully worked, and in the nature of things the population is apt to be stationary for consider able number of years to come, with the possibilities that the mines will play out and cause decreases in the popula- ton.
 Senator Bard also discovered that things had been so arranged by the democrats that in apportioning dele gates to the constitutional convention, the democratic delegates would con- trol. Thus, Maricopa county, with its important population. was given only three delegates to the constitu- tional convention, where a small demo- cratic county, elsewhere in the state, was given seven.
 Tn the case of New Mexico, Senator Bard says he believes the level of in telligence of the average population is not high enough for statehood. and that the level has been almost sta tionary for many years"
 Such reputation as Senator Bard has for intelligence would have been better conserved had he kept silent We do not know of another man now occu- pying the high position of United States senator who would deliberately lay himself open to the charge of being an ass. As stated in these columns yes terday, we see no occasion as yet to make any unpleasan criticism of Sen ators Beveridge. Dillingham;. and Burn ham, nor have tie people of the terri tories any special grievance against them except for their failure to mako

rark Smith "seeing Things" Again.

Our esteemed friend Marcus Aure- Arizona, is seeing things" once more His special organs, the Tucson Citizen of Thursday and the Phoenix Enter
 prise of yesterday, quote him as talk ing mysteriously of treachery against the statehood bill His utterances are so delphic that we shall not undertake to translate them. No diagram being furnished, each reader will have to figure out for himself the meaning of the distinguished delegate
 The statehood bill will pass un- amended" he says, with two possible adverse contingencies, one being the Oklahoma Indian territory dispute, and the other treachery at home. which is now evidencing itself here. When I am relieved of the imposed confidence, will publish names. Sims Ely, of Phoenix, is asking Delegate Hymns opinion for publication. but he did not publish Flynns wire during the cleo ton campaign confirming my public utterances.
 "Beveridge has painted Arizona very black to the president, but I do not think he has made much impression"
 MT. Smiths theory that a traitor is deserving of any consideration is something new. If any purported friend of the statehood bill in Arizona or elsewhere is working against the bill it is too serious a matter for Mir. Smith to safely conceal the name of the party. We trust that he will make public without delay the name or names of the people who are guilty of treachery
 The remainder of his mysterious de- livery is too deep for us. To be sure. the editor of The Republican asked Delegate Flynn to state for publication his opinion of the outlook for the omnibus bill if he could see his way clear to make a public statement at this time. but MT. Smith. except when he is seeing things" would scarcely find anything in such an innocent in- quiry to arouse his indignation He will hardly lmpugn the good faith of Delegate Flynn's support of the bill, and we suppose that. partisan and narrow as he is. MT. Smith would have to confess that the bill has received more effective support from The Re publican than from any other paper. Perhaps he feels slighted that a tele- gram of inquiry was not sent him? AS O. matter of fact, it was the intention of this paper to make similar inquiry of our delegate. but it happened that his views were received the same day from another source.
 The late campaign is ancient history, but Mir. Flynn never wired The Re- publican that he approved Mark Smiths ridiculous assertion that q democratic victory would assure state- hood.
 Possibly it is due to his illness of last year. but Mark Smith during the past few months has exhibited a childishness and pettiness which has his old friends.
