For eighteen years Watkins left eye
sparkled right up to the pace set by the
companion optic. Then just as Watkins
was recovering from a severe cold in the
head the left object locator went on
stfike-went completely out.
The bad lamp did not bother Watkins
but it did bother his friends Watkins
found he could see enough of the sights
with the remaining eye, but his friends
appeared to be Gaping for some down
town glass-eye merchant. The friends
told Watkins, and Watkins admitted that
the light with the burnt-out carbon did
not set true, and lacked the old-time
sparkle, but Watkins insisted that he was
wearing the eye and the merchant with
the showcase full of limitations Gid not
start spending any of Watkins hard
earned money.
About the time Watkins friends were
forgetting to abuse the unfortunate OPP
tic, Watkins suffered an attack of pneu-.
monia. For four long weeks the doctors
made a daily book on the chances of

into the favorite row. One week later he
was able to get out on the streets.
Watkins felt that it was up to him to

town he proceeded to satisfy his feeling

NILES Ill TREATMENT.

The determination Of the Republican
politicians at Washington to SUPPRESS
Lieut. Gen. Miles has at last reached fuI-
fillment President Roosevelt will exer-
else his power to retire. the present COM
handing officer of the army unless Miles
anticipates the event by resigning.
Gen. Miles is right in denouncing tn.
proposed law. His words were spoken
under the protection of congress. They
were privileged, if ever words spoken nv
any man in representative position. and
under the sanctity of grave personal and
professional obligation, can be regarded
as privileged.
1t is all a shameless pretext to get rid
Of Miles. Miles may not be the right man
in his present post. He may be something
of marplot, as he doubtless is. But
these things have nothing to do with the
present case.
The law which evidently Root and
Roosevelt have forged between them is
plainly designed to get rid of the present
commanding officer. Because on being
asked mis- opinion by the legislative au-
thority of the nation he gives honest ex-
preston to that opinion, the president
tells the country that he has been guilty
of INSTRUMENTATION. That is little less
than humbug. Yet the option is given
plainly to Miles to get out or be put out
1t may be a bugaboo which Col. Wat
terson calls into being when he talks of
military dictation by the president as pre-
senting the true meaning of the dismissal
of Gen. Miles. But the act is one which
shows all the disposition of the military
dictator; and is personal wrong done to
soldier who has fought his country's
battles ably and bravely, and whose abili-
ty has never been successfully questioned.
1t is of piece with everything that has
been done toward this officer, since he
was practically supplanted as command
ing officer of the army by Gen. Shafter
at the opening of the war with Spain.
his superiors have made it very hot for
Gen. Miles for some years. He has stood
good many indgnities, including his re-
cent public reprimand by the president. If,
in the position in which he now stands.
he allows the bitterness of the imperial
tst politicians in control at Washington
to assert itself through his retirement by
the president, while he has it in his power

Suit has been brought to recover S. 900

Christ church. The complainant is

he was acting as caddie for Dr. Lasher
last summer the clergyman hit him on
the head with a golf ball. AS a result
he will probably be blind for life. DR.
Lasher declares that it was an accident,
and that he will contest the suit. though
out of pity he has paid all medical ex-

ROME, March 24-Although everyone
seems to regard the crisis here as past
now, there will not be a feeling of con
fdence restored again for many years
Although for moment the hand of an
archy or socialism, as one may call it,
has been stayed, the movement is so gem
eral throughout the country that no one
doubts the overthrow of monarchial in
stitutiOns is bound to come.
From the secret societies it has leaked
out that here was no personal violence
whatever intended against the royal fam
lily. which was to have been secluded
in one of the palaces away from the city
and kept under a strong guard
The revolutionists intended forming
government rather on the basis of that
of the Swiss than ON the principles of the
United States government, or even more
radical than that. no mention having
been made of an upper house. while the
president was to be elected for one
year only.
The condition of the masses here is GER
tainly appalling, not only from an Amer
lean, but also from an English viewpoint
the wages paid in most of the factories
being little more than half those earned
by operatives in the large manufacturing
centers of Great Britain and the United
States which are yearly becoming nearer
to the same prices.
No one seems to regard the king or
queen as blameworthy for the present
condition of affairs but it is nevertheless
doubtful if he will long be a Bile to escape
the bullet of the assassin. Whenever he
goes abroad now it is in an automobile
which he himself steers at terrific pace
Even when he goes out on horseback the
mounted guard hens him in so closely
that it would be practically impossible
for anyone to shoot him, unless, possibly,
from a high window. Yet the king is
very democratic in his manners, exceed
iEgly amiable in disposition. freehanded,
free from prejudice and a liberal in poll
ties.
The ministers who run the government
for Victor Emmanuel III. run affairs pre-
cisely as they please and at least one
member of the cabinet is an extreme rad
ica1
The king does not pretend to be a poll
tician and never indicates what he person
ally feels in regard to the administration
of affairs, allowing his ministers to settle
their Squabbles between themselves He
looks after the good and welfare Of the
army and navy personally and also after
the building of public works, in which ne
takes great interest. Personally he Is

a good man, a faithful husband and a
fond father He neither boards or wastes,
and spends larger amount of his private
income on charity than perhaps any mon
arch in Europe
He is anything but brilliant, b. his
modesty and good natJ@e endear him to
All who come in contact with him. With
all his indifference to public affairs many
of the successful policies of the govern
ment are said to have originated with
him. Particularly is this the case with re-
gard to the democratic appointments to
the various positions in the kingdom, the
king believing that the arstocrats have
too long welded too much power for the
countrys welfare. In this respect he
seems to have taken a leaf from the
kaisers book
In spite of the dissatisfaction of the
masses it is a notable fact that the coun-
try has been making rapid progress late
ly in several important lines Of industry
The dissatisfaction is deeper seated than
that, however. 1t is a part Of a great
wave Of industrial disturbance which is
threatening the stability of several Euro
pean regimes-notabIy those of Spain and

Oral and written evidence accumulated
since the beginning, however, will not
convince one n an. The solemn word of
those known to be truthful, sincere, and
sane, is rejected with no consideration
whatever, if they but declare their belief
in and experience of communications from
the unknown world. And those soothing
at belief in spirit communications can
give no other reason for their disbelief
than they "never saw spirits. Yet all
intelligent men know that the eye is most
easily deceived.
Strange that men demand physical evil
dence of a spiritual manifestation. Yet
it is undoubtedly true that spirit COM
munication," if it exists at all, is one Of
the things which cannot be told to an
other with any hope of convincing that
one 1t is an experience tr It must be per-

Fer several years the Society for Psychic
Research has been carrying on investi-
cations all over the world to get con-
vincing proof of or disproof of the phe-

result. Those who have experienced spirit
communications believe, those who have
not, deny.

years on the subject Of hypnotism, tele-
pathy, clairvoyance, mediumship, faith
healing, and other cognate subjects, has
