BLIND GIRL MADE TO SEE
Remarkable Operation on the Eyes
of n Little Girl in Bingham
ton, New York.

By a remarkable operation by DR.. Fran
els NJ. Michael at Binghamton, n. Y. lit
tie Helen Kingsley. 8 months old. who was
born blind. has been made to see. Before
the operation the ewes appeared natural.
excepting that the black reflex, as ordi-
narily seen, was white and glistening in
the pupil Of the eye.
DR.. Michael gave the child chloroform
and while the lids were drawn back by the
assistant he inserted a narrow Graefe cat
aract knife through the other portion OF
the cornea, then through the pupil and
next through the white membrane, making
a vertical inc.sion through the eyeball.
At that point in the operation DR.. Mich
ael found that the eyes had no lenses, but
in their place was a hard, dense, white
membrane. Belladonna was dropped into
the eyes to enlarge the openings in the
membrane, and the eyes were b~andRged
and left for two days.
When the bandages we're removed a hand
was quickly passed in front Of the baby's
eyes. Instantly she moved her head. The
gesture was repeated and again the head
moved. Bright keys we're passed before
her eyes with the same effect
Since the operation many evidences OF
sight have been shown, and DR.. Michael
says with the hid OF glasses she will see as
we'll as Eny person.

PANCAKE RECORD is BROKEN
Michigan Man DevOurs Thirty-Stx
Lung Protectors Of the Buck
wheat Variety.

A novel wager resulted IN the pulling OF
of a remarkable pancake-eating contest in
Hopkins Station, Allegan county, Mich, one
lage genius, lost the wager, but established
a record as the champion pancake eater Of
the United States, having devoured in
thirty-siX minutes tbirty-six cakes, of an
average thickness of q quarter of an inch
and covered with a generous spreading
Of maple syrup. The fact was witnessed by
a large crowd, who paid 10 cents apiece to
see the fun. They professed to have gotten
their moneys worth. Foot felt the effects
Of his venture a little. though he has re-
covered sufficiently to be around town
again.
1t all came about because Foot went into
Ed McIntyre's barber shop the other morn
Ing to get his hair cut. BARRIERS are talk
alive, and in the course OF the trimming-up
process Mcintyre remarked that he had
eaten a dozen buckwheat cakes for break
fast.
That's nothing" said Foot. 81 can eat
more than that every morning"
Before the talk ended Foot had bet Nc
Intyre that he could eat a gallon of bat
ter made up into cakes and a quart OF ma
pie syrup poured over the cakes. The ar
rRngement was that the contest was TO come
on in a hall and there was to BE charged an
admission OF 10 cents, the winner to take
the money. Foot succumbed at the thirty
seventh cake, there still being left a dozen
cakes and a portion OF the syrup, n Nc
lntyre walked OF with the receipts.

Decide BuiIdinE and Loan Case.

DEADWoOD. S. D., Feb. S.-Cspecial.)-
The case Of NJ. c. Clark, receiver, against
NJ. C.. Corners. q suit on the foreclosure
Of a mortgage given to secure a note and
a balance due on a loan, has been decided
by Judge w. G. Rice in the circuit court In
favor Of the defendant. Clark. the plaintiff.
is receiver for the American Building and
Loan association. II was alleged in the
complaint that Conners became a sub
scriber to the association in May, 1889, for
forty shares of the association stock. for
which he bid $50 a share, receiving a loan
of 81. 900 and giving a mortgage on prop
erty in the town Of Spearfsh for security.
Conner made monthly payments TO the
association UP to the time the association
went into the hands OF a receiver, in 1896,
having paid in 1900 during that time. 1t
was claimed by the association that Con-
ners was paying this assessment on his
stock and not TO be credited on the loan.
the full amount OF which, $4,000. was
claimed to be still owing. Corners. on the
other hand. contended that the $50 a share
hid on the stock was not a free and com
~petitive bid, but was a rate fixed by the
corporation. thereby making the contract
subject TO usury. and that the payments
should be applied to the discharge Of the
loan. The contentious Of the defendant
were sustained by the court. There were
two cases in which the facts and questions
we're the same, the cue Of Clark against
Corners and one Of Clark against Z0ellner.
and they are both disposed OF by the deci-
sion in the Corners case.

Mrs. DarIinE's Case.
The next annual congress OF the
Daughters Of the American Revolution,
which is to convene here within a few
weeks, will doubtless take cognizsnce Of
the fact that the founder Of the order.
Flora Adams Darling, has at last received
partial justice at the hands OF congress.
Early in the sos Mrs. Darling. who was a
native Of New Hampshire, and the wife Of
q confederate brigadier general, asked for
and received e pass to carry her through
the lines In order that she might meet her
husband, who was wounded and in hos
pitai at Dalton, Ga. Mrs. Darling remained
at her husbands side until his death, and
in November, 1868, applied for the protec-
ton Of a flag Of truce that she might re-
turn north. This request was granted and
a paper signed bv General n. P. Banks,
commanding the Department Of the Gulf,
was given her. which guaranteed safe con-
duct Of herself, servant and effects. In
spite Of this governmental assurance that
she should not be molested, Mrs. Darling
was compelled to give up her things and TO
submit to the abstraction from her trunks
all of her personal property. For forty
years the lady has been appealing TO con-
gress for redress. Such men as Fernando
Wood, William NJ. Evarts, General Bragg
Of Wisconsin. had the bill in charge at
various times, and General Banks himself
when in congress stated that he deplored
the act and favored full indemnity. All
these efforts were without outcome until
this winter, when w. 3. Matthews, a law
yer Of this city, after ~tireless efforts, sue
ceeded in getting a bill through which gives
Mrs. Darling about a third OF the value Of
the property taken. OF course, like all
other claims, Mrs. Darling gets no interest
for the forty years, but fortunately she has
to pay no fees to her attorney.

"Reminiscences Of Gov. HoIbrook.

Ex-Gov. Holbrook of Brattleboro,
in his 91st year, one of the two or
three surviving Civil War Governors,
bears his advancing years with his
usual buoyancy of spirit and modesty
of manner. He recently related to
his callers, among whom was Prof.
John c. Calhoun, of the Florida State
college, many personal recollections
of Webster, Lincoln and other promi-
nent men with whom his official duties
brought him into pleasant relations.
Seated on the piazza of his home on
Walnut street, the venerable e4-Gov-
ernor told with faithful detail of his
visit to the home of Daniel Webster
and of the ever-to- aforementioned in
cidents connected with his stay there.
Webster had planned to meet him
from Washington and Governor Hol-
brook had cheerfully accepted the
statesman's invitation to visit his
home and inspect his sleek herds of
blooded cattle, while incidentally
witnessing the workings OF especially
designed plow which Webster had
arranged to exhibit on his farm. An
other incident related by the Gov
ernor, referred to his later visit to
Boston, where he assisted Ruggles,
Nourse & Co.. in designing new
poW for competitionin special trial
OF implements at the New York state
agricultural fair held i'll Utica some
time in the late SOS. Among the
prizes offered was a gold medal for a
plow to be drawn by three horses
abreast which should turn furrow
d foot deep and 10 inches wide, at
the same time pulverizing it. The
plow was completed after designs
furnished by Governor Holbrook and
speedily shipped to Utica. In due
time Mr.. Nourse, Governor Holbrook
and skillful plowman departed for
the scene of the fair. The brawnv
plowman who was to hold the plow
unfortunately became too i'll to
make the public test, whereupon
Governor Holbbook volunteered to
take his place. Notwithstanding
protestations the Governor stripped
himself to shirt, trousers and boots,
seized the handles, and in the terrific
sun, surrounded by great throng of
people, began turning the burrows
which required the best efforts of
team and plowman. The gold medal
was awarded to the Governor.
