SAVES EYE CUT IN TWO.
Remarkable Operation Performed In
Philadelphia Hospital.

PHILADELPHIA, SSpt. 12.-One Of
the most remarkable cases ever treated
at the Wills Eye hospital is that of
William Heritage, one of whose eyes
had been cut i'll two by piece Of
glass, resulting in the destruction Of
It's power of vision, and who has had
the use of the organ almost completely
restored by an operation which in
cluded the sewing together of the cor
nea-the outer portion of the eye that
resembles glass-with five silk threads
Heritage, who is twenty-nine years
old, was employed as a grinder Of
glass shoppers" at the Glassboro
works when the accident occurred.
The iris had been cut through, pene-
trating the cornea, the liberation ex-
tending down three-quarters of an inch
into the sclera. A part of the yitreous
fluid was also lost, and the lower lid of
the eye was cut five-eighths of an inch.
The operation seems to have been
successful.

HAS BEEN SUPPLYING PULPIT

Well-Known Teacher and Lecturer
Will Probably Accept Is Force
full and Agreeable Speaker.
The congregation of the Christian
church in this city, at recent meet.
ing unanimously decided to extend
formal call to Prof. Frederick ID.
Kershner, of Haeerstown. to become
pastor of that church, and il is con-
tidentlv believed that Mr.. Kershner,
willseive favorable reply to the very
cordial andI earnest request of the
members of that chnroh. Prof.
kershner has been the acting pastor of
the church since the resignation of
his brother, Rev. Bruce l.. Kershner,
who left the United States recently
for the Philippine Islands where he
will conduct an important work under
the direction of the foreign missions
board of the Christian church. He
has filled the position with such emil
nent satisfaction that the members of
the congregation are a unit in asking
that he accent the vacant pulpit, and
while no definite decision has as yet
been given bv him, it is fully expect
ed that he will accept the call.
Mr. Karshnear is native OF Wash
inaton county. Md. He took the min
isterial and english courses in the
Kentucky university, at Lexington,
Ky. graduating in 1899 with the
highest average ever given In the
history of the institution. At the
time of graduation he was offered the
choice of three pastorates In his
church, but decided to continue his
studies further. With this object in
! view, he entered Princeton university
to pursue graduate work leading to
the PHI. ID. degree. He received the
1900. In 1901 he was elected profes.
sor of Latin and English in Kea Mar
college. Hagerstown, where he re-
NAMED until serious eye tioubie
obliged him to give up teaching in
| the spring of 1905. He was elected
dean of the college in 1908 and a
member of its board of trustees in the
same year He occupied the position
OF secretary of the board when he
gave up his work last spring. In 1908
Mr.. Kershner was elected member
of the lecture staff of the American
Society for the Extension of Universe
tv Teaching, the subjects assigned
him being Literature. " and ARTS. !"
He lectured quite extensively for the
society since that time, delivering IL
lectures last wear in the city of Phil
adelphia alone. He spent the summer
of 1903 in Italy and England by way
OF preparation for his latter work.
Mr.. Kershner has preached upon
numerous occasions but never hereto
fore regularly for any congregation.
His eyes have improved since last
spring though still incapable of stand
ing prolonged strain Mr.. Kershnsr
is a forceful and eloquent speaker.
and will undoubtedly meet with suc-
cess in his new field of labor.

Land in Cuba.

Cuba is rapidly coming to the front.
1t has no equal as regards climate
and productiveness Of soil. There
is nothing like it in all the wide world.
This seems a pretty broad statement
but we verify believe it. to be fact.
The temperature ranges between GO
and 85 degrees, the lowest being 55,
the highest 81. Even this is moderated
by a gentle, pleasant breeze from the
ocean. Planting and harvesting goes
on all the time. A ten acre lot will
produce from $4,000 to $4,000 annually
if planted to fruit. And some tobacco
land will yield even a great deal larger
income. At present lands can be had
very cheap = 10 acre lots selling all
the way from So to $50 per acre -
some higher. We have some most
beautiful lands at $40 and some, a lit
tie more favorably located, at $50. For
the choicest location and land all ready
for planting, $50. A few dollars down
and small monthly payments will pur-
chase one of these tracts. Believe us,
there is nothing like it. The price Of
some of these lands will 500 be very
materially advanced, sc now is the
time to buy. The Round-Trip fare
from st. Paul to Havana, good
for 81 days, is only $65, the distance
being covered in about 4 days. It
is a delightful trip and well worth the
money spent. Those who can not go
there themselves, can have the land
cultivated at small expense and derive
a nice annual income on their invest
ment.
