Early in life Dr.. F. Geo. Curtis formed the
conclusion that he would become an eye and
car specialist. He knew that no man. however
endowed By nature. could hope to attain pre-
eminence IN 81 the branches Of medicine and
surgery and he was positive that II ne gave
his entire attention tc the treatment OF the
eye and ear he would become qualified for the
practice OF this specially. So well has he
succeeded ID at today he Is conceded to be the
greatest living ocunst and aurist- HIS practice
has become simply enormous. He has alone

sides the thousands he has cured Of every
other sriic.fon of the eye and ear. even bund-
ness itself. and he has done this all without
the surgeons knife. and without giving pain to
his patient. His cure is done so rapidly and Is
so e1icacious that IL can be SAID that the
patient is cured without detention from busl-
ness He has become the master of this branch
in the healing art and this eminent scientist

MOBILE. Ala. Oct. 15.--The Norwe-

which has arrived in Mobile, was caught
in an earthquake at 2:55 A. NJ, Sep

shore, and the sl,,ck was SO severe that
1t threw the men from their berths and
knocked all quite violently about. Captain
Petersen says the Ellida was Ell route

everything was all right. The water
there is from 1900 to l.400 fathoms deep.
There we're no other vessels in sight.
Suddenly. with no warnings whatever, the
Ellda seemed to have run aground. She
quvered, creaked. her propeller was out
of water and 1t seemed as though the
steamer was constantly rising on the
crest of a hidden reef Then, in the
twinklng of an eye. she seemed to alb
solutely drop into the very chasm of
the deep.
After the second shock, however. the
experiences ceased. The next day the
Ellida arrived at Santiago, and it was
learned that the earthquake at sea oc-

PARIS, October l5.-Ofticial dispatches
from st. Petersburg say the Russian min
isters of war and of marine have an
nounced that while not wishing to make
any move likely to precpitate hostilities
ir. the far East, yet both departments
of the government wish to have 1t known
that they are completely prepared to
meet any eventuallty.
Official advices from Japan and China
show that the negotiations between the
Russian minister to Japan, Baron do
Rosen, and the japanese foreign minis
ter continue, but their status Is not dis
closed.
In the meantime the officials hero have
been Informed of the signing Of the conf
mercial treaty between China and Ja-
pan, which may have all important bear
Ing on the Russo-Japanese situation. The
treaty opens Mukden, the capital Of Man
churia. and one other point to Japanese
commerce. China's opening of the Man
ohuria capital to Japan, While Russia has
not yet evacuated Manchuria, Is consid-
cred significant. and likely to emeliorate
the differences.

GREENSBORO. N. c., Oct, 15.-N. E.
Lewis, postmaster at Madison, N. c.,
was this evening barred from the office
by Postoft1ce Inspector Enterman and
the office turned over to Dr.. G. B, Nc
Aually, one of the bondsmen. Lewis ac-
count was found short over $500, only SIS
being on hand.
This shortage has occurred since the
last inspection In April. Three years ago
Lewis became famous by reason OF a
sensational recovery of a note he had
given to assayer OF the Charlotte mint,
D. X. Pope, as a subscription to the Re-
publican campaign fund, After giving
the note, which was for $500 Lewis went
in search of Pope, found him In Martins
vile, Va, made him surrender the note
ait the point of pistol and also had him
arrested for obtaining goods under false
pretenses.
Lewis was afterwards indicted In the
Virginia court for highway robbery. This
case was compromised by Lewis paying
fine and costs to the amount of nearly
$500. There Is a suit now pending against
the Norfolk and Western Railway Com
pany, brought by Pope To recover dam
ages for permitting Lewis to hold him
iip on its train at Martinsyille
All efforts to have Lewis removed from
Office were unavailing, but he Is out for
good now.
