The Nickel Plate road, with its eastern
connections-the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western and West Shore and Boston
& Maine railroads-is considered by
those who have patronized it as a most
desirable line between Chicago and New
York, Boston and other eastern points,
and takes its place among the first class
lines leading eastbound from Chicago. It
is operating three through first class
trains, all daily, and equipped with
modern improvements, for the conven-
fence and comforts of the travelling pub
lie, and has succeeded, to a remarkable
degree, in pleasing its patrons, growing
in popularity every day. One of its at
tractive features and thoroughly appre-
ciated by the travelling public, is its
dining car service, meals being served on
American Club plan, ranging in price
from 35 cents to 81; also service a Ia
carte. Colored porters are in charge to
look after the comfort of passengers
in coaches, and especially to assist ladies
travelling with children. All passenger
trains arrive at and depart from the La
Sale st. station, Chicago, the only pas
senger station in Chicago on the elevated
loop. When going east, try the Nickel
Plate road. City ticket office Ill Adams

HIS EYES Strengthened.
Joe IRONS Sight Is Returning, as q
Result of Treatment.

From fridays Daily.
Joe Kron is about the happiest man in
town. He is recovering the sight of his
left eye, that has been blind for twenty
years OF more. Both of his eyes were
crooked and both had cataracts, so that
for all these years he has not been able
to read. He went to Europe to have
his eyes treated, and the cataract was
cut from the right one, but the sight was
weak. Recently he went to Chicago and
took treatment for four days and had an
operation that Strengthened his eyes. He
is continuing the treatment at home
and the cataract is being absorbed with
out the use of the knife and the other
eye is getting stronger, so that he can
see objects for some distance.
Mr. Kron's right eye was always de-
fective and when a youth he used up
his left eye by over study. He learned
to read in three languages.
Mr.. Kron's friends will rejoice in his
good fortune, and will hope that the sight
of both eyes will be completely restored.

FINE MUSIC.
Crescent Orchestra Plays During Sun
day Dinner Hour at Saulpaugh.
From MONDAYS Daily,


A feature of the Sunday dinners at the
Saulpaugh is the musical program rem
dered by the Crescent orchestra under
the direction of Prof. Heath. This has
proved to be such an attraction, in con-
nection with the excellent meals serv-
ed by Mine Host Kent, that the pat
ronage of the Sunday dinners has in
creased rapidly. Many of our citizens
prefer to 60 there with their families
rather than go to the trouble of pre-
pairing the meal at home.
The Crescent orchestra is certainly q
fine musical organization, and its grow
ing reputation is well founded. The fol-
lowing was the program which it pre-
scented yesterday:

To lloht Tunnels.

Phosphorescent tunnels and sta
tions are now suggested for insuring
public safety In the Paris tube. A
company has offered to paint luminous
bands on the walls, on exit doors, etc.,
which would obviate all danger from
the sudden eItinguishing Of the cleo
tric, petroleum or other lamps IN case
or hre or any other accident. The
phosphorescence is produced by a
coating of calcium monosulphide, OBJ
tanned by mixing sulphur and oys-
ter shells. or calcined cuttlefish bones,
and therefore costing very little. Be-
sides lighting tunnels and stations
sufnciently for emergencies, the phos.
phorescent paint could be used for in
scriptions by engraving the latter on
glass and filling the lines of the let
ters with the calcium monosulphide.

Lecture Course.

The first number OF the lecture tou se
will be given at the opera house on
Monday evening, December Z. 1t will
be an entertainment by William Ster-
ling BATHS, the king Of impersonators,
and is of the following nature.
The entertainment provided by Mr..
BATHS differs in a marked degree from
the lines of work usually followed by
dramatic readers and monologue per-
formers. H. is not, in the customary &C
ceptance of the term, "elocutionary;" it
is not dramatic reading; it is much
more than eiih,r OF these. Mr.. BATHS is
primarily, a skillful and accomplished
actor OF extended experience, and withal
gentleman of fine literary perceptions
He is, therefore, able to present a roper
toire that is largely the product OF his
own ideas and OF his genius for adapta-
ton. His plays are gwen in full. Alone
on the platform, with no stage equip
ments, with few explanatory words as
prelude, he presents each act, each
scene, in 30 clear and concise a manner,
no difficulty is experienced in following
the action OF the drama. His characters
are strikingly realistic, changing rapid
ly from one to another by means OF
voice, gesture aad attitude.
Admission will be 25c and 35c. Sea
son reserved seats for the lecture course
will be on sale at Fred Lees store nsx,

School authorities or any reputa-

School authorities or any reputn
BILE person in a district may make
charges in the county court against
parents or guardians who fail to send
children to school. or against chill
dren who are truaat or against EN-
ployers of children who should be in
school.
1t is not the intention OF the
school authorities to be hasty or in
considerate, yet we must firmly in
sist on compliance with the law.
Public money is used to maintain
schools on the theory that "the ig
norance of one is menace to all and
the education of one a benefit to all"
The community, therefore, has not
only the burden of taxation but also
the right to demand that all chill
dren attend school. 1t is expected
that parents and guardians will COM
ply with the law cheerfully and that
school directors will see that the law
is carried out in their districts.

Death His Reward for Being True to
His Trust.
In the upper part of the famous Sc
Quatchie Valley, in East Tennessee. a
man and his wife settled when the
country was new and wild, says the
Springfield Republican. One Of the
first crops that they raised was con-
siderable field Of cotton. When 1t was
ready to be picked they went out to-
gether. prepared to make . holiday
out Of this pleasant labor. Their one
baby was left in a cradle at the edge
Of the neld and the faithful old dog
was instructed to watch the tiny
sleeper.
After . considerable time they look
ed toward the cradle to see II all was
well there. They were startled by
the discovery that the little couch had
been turned completely over. The dog
was l. liking queer dives underneath
and yelping as II in anger. As they
hastened to the place they were horri-
fied to hnd the animals Jaws covered
with blood, and instantly came to the
conclusion. that he had been rending
the child with his teeth.
The angry father hit the animal q
death blow with 4 cudgel and then
hastily turned the cradle right side
up. There was the baby all unframed
and there in the bedding was an enor-
nous rattlesnake, killed by the faith
full dog after a-herce fight, In which
both combatants had received many
wounds.

Development, Of the Arid Region

The main feature of the govern
ment irrigation law is to secure the
development of the arid region and
the utilization of the great resources
which experience has shown cannot
be put to beneficial employment by
private enterprise, and which, if
properly utilized, become the great
est sources of strength to the com
monwealth through the creation of
homes. 1t matters little whether the
lands thus utilized happen to be at
the time OF construction in private or
public ownership. The main thing
is to secure ultimately the building
of homes and the placing Of these in
the hands of people who become Sc t
supporting and who can and will re-
fund to the government the cost OF
reclamation. This is an object in
which not only the government, but
all classes Of citizens, and most in
dustries, are interested. The trans
continental railroads recognize that
they will be the first beneficiaries
and the continuous gamers by this
home building movement, and they
have contributed largely to the sue
Gees Of the movement Some of them
have land to sell, it is true, but the
profit from the sale of land is as
nothing compared to the annual traf-
fic resulting from the establishment
of innumerable homes. The railroads
might sell the lands TO cattlemen,
but, as a matter of business, it would
be far better to donate them to: set
tiers living on irrigated farms. The
manufacturing and jabblng interests
OF the east have also contributed to
this work, as they believe in the west
is the greatest home market for man
ufsctured products.
1t has sometimes been held up as
. reflection against the advocates oi
national irrigation that the great rail
roads and the manufacturers of the
east are inter ested and have contrib
uted time and influence to the cause
but in this direction the interest oi
the people Of the country and thai
of the railroads and industrial orga
nizations are dentical-namely: t.
bring together the man who is seek
ing a home and the opportunities fo
making one.
Private enterprise has by no mean
ceased, as there are are many locali
ties where irrigation works can b'
and are being built by individual
and corporations, but the great work
can never be commercially successful
and vast tracts of fertile land will b,
condemned to sterility unless th'
government intervenes, as it is nov
doing, through the operations of th
reclamation law. If this law is sue
cessfully administered, thousands o
homes will be made in localitie
now waste and desolate, and the com
monwealth strengthened by the add
tion of a conservative. prosperou
class of citizens.-MaxwelPs Tails
