SEVEN YOUNG PEOPLE DROWNED
Naptha Launch Run Down BY Tug On

Toledo. May S-Seven young people,
members of a Sunday school class of
the First Baptist Church, we're
drowned in the Maumee river just be-

Of the naptha launch Frolic, on which
they were taking a pleasure ride, be-

Company's fleet The launch is owned
by Joseph w. Hepburn, of this city
who invited eleven young people to
take an evening ride with him. They
started out on a trip to Lake Erie
early in the evening and were return
ing when the accident happened.
Mr.. Hepburn, one of the survivors.
states that he saw the lights of the
approaching tug, and thinking it was
bound straight down the river, turned
to the east. When nearly abreast of
the launch the tug suddenly turned to
the east in order to make the dock at
Ironville, and before the launch could
get out of the way it was struck by
the tug and turned over and sunk
about 100 feet from the dock.

The Morning News thinks that now
we may learn something about the de-
tails in the awards of certain alleged
light contracts. Yes; we shall learn
something. The man who goes to
court alwaye gets information Ia the
end. II may be that his enlightenment
comes through an adverse decision, or
perchance he gets a verdict for ten
dollars which costs him q hundred in
lawyers fees. The wise man avoids
litigation wherever possible, and the
wise city does the same. There is no
use of kicking against the pricks. how
ever: and as we have decided on liti-
cation let us have every point covered,
for the people have a right TO get the
worth Of their money. We may in
the end get as good a contract as the
modified agreement of the Welsbach
Company. but that is doubtful. We
may add 10 thehistory Of the awarding
Of municipal contracts, and we must
not fail TO remember that such llnowl-
edge is expensive.

that the lecture had TO be delivered IN
those of the Twentieth Century Club

Il was a rare lecture from the most
gifted and versatile of Americas fam
Gus illustrtors. It was the purest and
most democratic word which has been
spoken on American art for a Ions
time. and it came with both feeling

man who has studied and thought mucl
on the subject from an American
standpoint, and they crystallized muol
that has been In the air in regard q
American art for a long time.
Mr. Pyle has for twenty years beei
lrecognized as the most serious Ameri

but the one man who looked at III
thing he was doing from the larg
American point of view. And like On
other really great American artists
he is not the product of Europea

FOUR THINGS TO
REMEMBER

When your eyes trouble you IN any
manner.
First:-Do not neglect having them
attended TO Immediately. The mech
anism of the eye DIS the most delicate
of the human body, and you cannot
neglect ITS timely warning without
great detriment to the eye and serious
impairment of vision.
Second:-You should patronizc a re-
liable person and be certain of an ac-
curaho and skillful examination.
Third:-ln doing this you also make
certain that the adjustment will be
proper and the lenses and frames of
the best quality.
Fourth Make sure of the other
three by consulting our optician.

Mouse Cured Blindness

Recently a Montreal young woman
went to an eminent oculist for a GER
tificate as to her affiiction. Apparent
ly she was stone blind, as the most
severe tests seemed to prove, yet the
surface Of her eyes gave no sign Of
any defect. The examination was
severe, trying and almost torture
some.
Half promising to grant the certifi-
cate the occulist told the young wom-
an to return the next day. He had
her securely blindfolded and then he
arranged the simplest test
He then took a tiny mouse which he
had procured and held the lovely lit
tie thing by its tail before the girls
face though not touching her, while
he ordered the bandage to be re-
moved. No sooner was the bandage
off than her screams rang through
the place and her eyes were wide with
terror at the harmless little rodent
which had thrown her so completely
off her guard and exposed the impos-
ture. OF course she saw 1t OF she
would not have screamed Needless
to say the applicant did not get that

Smallpox Before Day of Vaccination.

We who enjoy the immunity afford
ed by vaccination can scarcely believe
that such ravages were caused by
smallpox in London as are so graphi-
cally described by the historian Ma
caulay, who informs us that it was a
rare thing at one time to find n person
in that great city not dishgured or
marked by the dread disease. When
we emerge from the mephitic atmos-
phere, laden with Ignorance, disease
and death, of the London of two centu-
ries ago, with It's death rate of eighty
to the 1000, into the clear light of sani-
tary and medical progress Of the pres
ent time with its death rate OF less
than twenty to the 1000 in civilized
countries, we feel like one who has
passed through some terrible danger,
who has been surrounded by invisible
and relentless enemies, which, hap
PLY. have been routed or are being put
to fight by the knowledge resulting
from experimental investigations.-Dr.

The mingled odors of fresh bread, pies,

From one of the smaller cottages at

child in a colorless calico dress and slat
sunbonnet. With the important air OF a
heavy buyer she entered the village store,
and handed across the counter a blue
teacup. The proprietor took the cup, and
said, in brisk tones:

Industrious Old Clock.

At quaint old Castletown (the "me-

lists n very interesting clock, which
has now performed its functions Of
timetelling in five centuries. 1t was
presented by Queen Elizabeth in toe
year 1897 to Castle Rushen the fort
ress which stands in the middle of
Castletown, from which the town
takes its name. The works are crude,
being driven by ropes and pulleys,
but, nevertheless, they keep fair time.
The clock, in fact, has run ever since
it was built, except for rare stop
pages for repairs. To this day the
single hand which travels slowly
round the dial outside the tower of
Castle Rushen is the principal source
Of information as TO the hour to the
