A faithless memory is one Of the tor
ments of the possessor's life. In endeav-
oring to defend Mr.. Hearst from the charge
of causing the murder of Mckinley, we
spoke of Czolgosz as foreign born, which
he was not. A Polish American anarchist
attributed to Detroit. Probably our be-
lief that neither Mr.. Hearst nor any other
leader has yet been able to make that
brand of anarchy take root in the United
States should not be affected by this fact
for the Czolgosz type is less likely to re-
fleet Hearstism than something imported
from abroad, even if by the preceding gen

est intent to criticise our foreign born
Most of these who come here come because
they have ideals and the energy to seek

has been rather marvellously successful in

her immigrants and softening whatever
class hatred they may have brought with

tired are made for the purpose of securing
leadership for himself, but not, we are
convinced, for the purpose of ushering in
regime in which recognized forms argu-

HUMAN EYE Is
1RANSPLANIED
Wonderful Operation Gives
Sight to Man Who Was For
merly Totally Blind
VIENNA SURGEON SUCCESSFUL
He Attributes Previous Failures to the
Fact That cornea Of Animals, In
stead Of Human Beings, Was lnyar-
iably used-Even This Experiment Is
Not Successful With Both Eyes.


Vienna, Dec. 22.-At meeting of the
medical society yesterday, DR.. Zirm
showed a man on whom he successfully
performed the transplantation of the
, cornea. His patient had lost the sight
of both eyes. BY chance, the surgeon
had to take the eye out of an elev-
ell year old boy, which was ruined by
steel splinter. but the cornea of which
was intact. Zir1n then cut Sits In the
OPAQUE cornea OF the blind mans eyes,
and inserted pieces from the boys eye.
The experiment failed with one eye,
because the transplanted cornea
thickened, but ''with the other eye 1t
was SO successful that it affords the
man almost normal vision. In this
eye, the transplanted cornea retains its
TRANSPARENCY altho there is slight veil
over the eye. But once totally blind,
the man can read small print and can
work. Zirm attributes numerous pre-
vious failures to the fact that the cor
nea of animals, instead of human be-
ings, as in this instance, was invaria-
bly, used.

New York, Dec. 22.-Whether or not
there will be general tie-up of the
Christmas freight in the yards of the
eight big railroa DIS having terminals
in New York and Jersey City, is de-

the Pennsylvania, Erie, Lehigh Valley,
Central New Jersey, Long Island, Bal
timore & Ohio, Lackawanna & Staten
Island, and Rapid Transit. The yard
men employed on these roads gave the
management until today to decide
whether or not they will grant them an

wages. Most of the roads agreed to
an increase of four cents an hour, and
altho the situation seemed acute, there
was not talk of yielding on either side,
before the conference.

Washington, Dec. 22-As the result
Of the demand of Secretary Taft for
the report of an alleged attack by
armed soldiers from Fort Barrancas,
Fla, upon a trolley car, Brigadier
General Duvail commanding the de-
partment of the gulf at Atlanta yester-
day telegraphed the facts.
He says he was advised by Colonel
Stewart, commanding officer at Fort
Barrancas, Fla, that trouble between
the conductor and corporal occurred
over the latter's fare. A quarrel ensued
during which a negro porter struck
the corporal with brass knuckles. The
conductor and the porter drew their
revolvers and stampede followed.
So far as ascertained no enlisted man
had revolver on the car, nor was
there firing by soldiery. The conductor
told the adjutant on the night of the
10Th that three shots were fired by
parties from ambush. The conductor
thought the shots We're fired by SOL
diers. A board of officers is now in
vestigating the matter.
