description of "A new method of
treating defective eyes is contained in a
report to the state department by Con-
sui Mahn, at Nottingham. England. He
says: 1t is described, briefly, as man
ipulation of the eye, and was thought
out and developed, it is stated, by DR.
stephen Smith, surgeon to the eve de-
partment of Battersea Park hospital. The
precise method of treatment is not dis
closed, remaining the inventors secret.
The treatment is described as gentle
and gradual, a few minutes daily causing
no pain and having no injurious effect of
any sort. Some patients are cured in a
week, and in all cases improvement is
rapid Thirty patients who previously
had to wear spectacles have so far been
treated by DIR. Smith, and with one ex-
ception, 1t is stated, all have discarded
glasses and can now read at either long
or short distances, as easily people who
have never needed glasses. The cures ap-
piled to myopia (short sighD hypermet-
ropia (long sighD and to astigmatism

be permanent, which Of course, remains
to be demonstrated Optimists assert that

Mrs. Mary Rogers of Bennington, who
has already begun her three months of
solitary confinement previous to the date
set for her execution, will undoubtedly
pay the death penalty. The Vermont leg
islature. which voted 1873 to SO against
the abolition of the death penalty, can
not consistently vote for the commuta-
tion of her sentence. Legislatures in
recently years have exercised unwise and
arbitrary authority in overthrowing the
carefully considered judgment of our
courts and in changing the sentences of
murderers like Shaw Eastwood and Do
herty. 1t ought not to be so in the pres
ent case.

Representative Augustus Peabody
Gardner. known as "Gussie." and as dis
tinguished in society accomplishments as
in statesmanship. comes out Inundated
from a little bout with the President over
the appointment of a postmaster at Hav-
erhill Having failed to secure the de-
sired place for one of his lieutenants
he wrote a letter to the President in
which he demanded that the patronage be
given him as his right. He said that Mas
sachusetts, where the Congressman had
been by custom given the post office pat
where Senators select the postmasters."
The Presidents reply was forceful and
convincing In ii he said: The Sena-
tors do not select post-masters in any
state while ! am President consult
them always, and in the vast majority
or cases act on the recommendations
they make; but the selection is mine, not
theirs The President observes that it is
the custom to consult Senators, even in
Guiding those of the minority party, about
appointments, because, from the nature
of the case, ii is impossible that the Pres
ident should know the applicants for
places in all the states as well as do the
Senators in the particular states in which
the applicants reside. The object of this
inquiry is to satisfy the chief magis-
trate of the capacity and character of
the persons under consideration.

The abuse of the liquor license law in
certain sections of New Hampshire has
met with a reprimand. just as it did in
Vermont. Prohibitionists are greatly
elated over the result in Sullivan county,
where several towns changed from yes to
no at the recent election. including the
large centres of population like Lebanon.
Claremont and Newport. The best fea-
ture of local option is that ii puts each
community on its good behavior. 1t would
not be surprising to see Brattleboro swing

The loweIl-Albany Fight.

The town of Lowell has sought to have
part of its territory set off to Albany
and the town lines committee. after
visit to that region, recommended that
Lowelrs desire be granted. But Albany
wasn't asking for anything that Lowell
didn't care to keep. and II was main
tanned by the numerous opponents of the
bill that the territory in question was an
Improbable possession and that Lowell's
motive in trying to rid herself of it was
mainly a selfish one. The house didn't
like the principle involved, and killed the
measure LAG to SO.
