A PUDDLER'S
BAD INJURY
Byeball LaCerated by a Blow From an Iron
Bar

Benjamin Summons, puddler en-
ployed at the puddle mill Of Howe &
Samuels, met with an accident Tues
day which, it is very much feared, will
result in the loss of an eye. The acci-
dent was one Of kind not known to
have occurred before and we'll illustrates
the many ways in which a mill worker
is exposed to danger and the constant
care and precaution that are required
Mr. Summons was preparing to draw
heat. The large ball Of iron occupied
position in the furnace not quite to
his fancy. Through the door he insert.
ed his 'rabble" or long iron bar used
by puddlers and with his face bent
down was III the act of turning the iron
when the heavy ball unexpectedly roll
ed over upon one end of the bar which
lerked the other end out of the puddler's
hands and caused it to strike him in
the left eye, the blow-a violent one
falling right on the eyeball which is
considered among physicians the most
sensitive spot on the body.
The man experienced an agony of
pain which almost drove him mad. DR..
Wintersteen was called Under treat,
ment the pain was somewhat subdued,
when it was found that the external
coat of the eyeball is lacerated, although
so far as can be determined the pupil is
not to any extent injured. Mr.. Sum
mons was removed to his home, No. l,
Rough and Ready street. His suffering
last evening was still intense and his
condition was such as to require close
medical attention. 1t will be some time
before it will be possible to determine
whether or not the sight of the eye can
be saved

The MUZZLEDYCHBINET.

Having muzZled the army and navy,
our strenuous President by the grace
of the lottery of assassination. has
applied the gag to his Cabinet. 1t IS
announced from Washington that
Roosevelt has given his official family
to understand that they are to keep
their mouths shut and their opinions
to themselves. If there Is to be any
talking done he will do it for the whole
administration as for having
opinions. they must be submitted to his
censorship before being confided to the
public.
That there is resentment on the part
of the Cabinet members is only ma
men of intelligence quite equal to that
Of the fortuitous president, and his
autocratic acton is the most fragrant
insult imaginable.
How long, think you, will it be be-
fore Roosevelt undertakes to muzzle
the Supreme Court? And that done,
how long before he will order the press
of the land to submit opinions for his
approval, and to get from him permis-
sion to express views upon subjects OF
public Importance?
1t remains to be seen whether the
members of the Cabinet will endure
the affrOnt put upon them in silence,
or indicate their resentment by resign
ing. 1t is true that Roosevelt is gather
ing around him a set of Cabinet Off
GERS whose opinions are not worth
much upon the affairs OF their respec-
ave departments, and each new ap-
pointment indicates that he prefers
men who VIII be as clay in the potters
hands rather than statesmen of pro-
nounced and well-founded views upon
the affairs Of me nation. He wants
men who will be chief clerks, and ac-
tive heelers in the campaign for the
nomination of their chief in 1904.

Curioun Old Cuntom.

In one of the suburbs of Paris n
wealthy merchant died the other day,
and on,the evening of the funeral his
neighbors witnessed a curious cere-
mony.
An hour before the body was to be
taken to the cemetery the relatives Of
the dead man, FIVE or six in number,
went out into the garden adjoining the
house s0a walked solemnly and silent
ly around II. Each carried lantern
and kept his eyes fixed on the ground,
ms though he were looking for some
thing. Finally they all halted In front
of large Rile OF stones and, laying
aside their lanterns, proceeded to throw
down the pile. After every stone had
been removed they examined mlnutcly
the spot ON which the pile had rested
and then slowly and with bowed heads
returned 10 the house.
This is an old Norman custom, and it
Is observed in this instance because the
dead man was native OF Olson. There
is a tradition in Normandy that before
burying body all the ground around
his dwelling should be searched in or
der to make sure that the soul has not
hidden itself somewhere. At one time
every family in Normandy faithfully
observed this tradition, but now only a
few pay heed TO ii.

paid to the Cuban government for
distribution to Cuban planters.
1t is not so manifest, however, just
what these sugar interests" are. From
sugar trust favored reciprocity and
was trying to get Cuban sugar into our
markets at greatly reduced rate, IL
not absolutely free. But in the light
of previous experience no sane persen
will be quick to believe that the sugar
trust is now being thwarted. 1t Is more
plausible that its alleged favor for
reciprocity was a false pretense to
raise popular sentiment against reci-
procity. while in reality it was oppos-
ing it. The sugar trust has been known
to adopt such tactics before now.
If this be not true, we have the ex-
traordinary condition of Republican
Congress pushing aside this gigantic
influence and being controlled by an
insignificant beet sugar industry.
whose total investment does not re-
present one-tenth the revenue collect
ed from sugar in a year. Credulity it
self could not accept such an explana-
ton as that. The beet sugar industry IS
mere figurehead in this tight-a blind
from behind which far more powerful
interests are making their fight for
the preservation OF their pound of
flesh
Ana their influence on Republican
policy is not at all surprising. For
years they have controlled Republican
leaders and shaped Republican issues,
and it is not to be supposed that their
hold is broken now. Indeed, il one had
any idea OF that kind. it would be
promptly dispelled by consideration of
the support given by Republican to the
ship subsidy job. which is the very
elimination of favoritism and class
legislation. There is no indication that
the trusts and syndicates have aban
doned or transferred their ownership
of the nepublican party.

Wood In Egyptian stonework.

Probably the oldest timber In the
world which has been subjected 10 the
use Of man is that found in the ancient
temples OF Egypt In connection with
the stonework, which is known to he
at least 1000 years old, This. the only
wood used in the construction of the
temples. Is in the form of ties holding
the end of one stone TO another. When
two blocks were laid in place an ex-
cavation about an inch deep was made
in each block. in which a tie shaped
like an hourclass is driven. 1t is there
fore very difficult to force any stone
from its position.

A wonder In renmannhip.

Among the curiosities preserved 10y
the Minnesota Historical society is n
Autographed copy Of an engrossment
of the emancipation proclamation. The
engrosser, one W. III. Pratt OF Daven-
port. Ia, was so very skillful In his
manipulations of the pen that he sue
ceeded. by careful and exact shading
of the letters. in producing very cX-
cellent portrait of Abraham Lincoln,
the author OF the famous document, in
the center Of the copy. In other words,
the lettering itself is made to form a
portrait of MIR. Lincoln. There were
probably large number OF them orig
inally struck off, but copies of II are
now very rare. As specimen OF pen
work 1t is certainly very unique.
