CARE OF THE EYES.

The strange statement is made by
an English doctor who has been in
vestigating the subject of eye-strain
that Many workmen are inefficient
or dangerous because they can not as
sist their sight with glasses, or dare
not for fear of being thrown out OF
employment" Is there any prejudice
of this kind in this country? There
have been many cases of men in mid
die life who have had to dye their
prematurely gray hair to find employ
ment-there is no harm in that. But
to throw away power to secure the
false semblance of it is a grotesque abb
surdity or worse, and any rule or
prejudice that makes it necessary can
not be too strongly reprobated.- Even
in the English army, where glasses
were long forbidden for the sake of
appearance, science has won a decisive
victory; in civil life, certainly, there
is no excuse for not making the eye
sight as efficient as possible.

OLD JERUSALEM TUNNEL.

The Iron Age says that evidence ek-
lists that a, work similar to the famous
Simpion tunnel, but on a smaller scaE,
was executed some twenty-four ceh-
turtles ago. Owing to the pad state OF
the water supply of Jerusalem, the
King ordered a reservoir to be made
at the gates of the city, to which water
was to be brought from various
springs. The Shiloh tunnel, by means
of which water was brought down
from a source to the east of Jerusa-
lem and poured into the pool of Sloan.
was 1850 feet long and in a straight
line. 1t has been learned that work
was begun at both ends of the tunnel
and the direction saltered number of
times. The floor of the tunnel is finish
ed with great care. The width varies
from 10 to 8 feet, and the height from
to feet. There is much speculation
as to how these engineers gauged their
direction so well as to be able to re-
cognize and correct errors in align
ment.

says: "a firm in Madras advertises
three of its best cigars at 11a cents,

sell in the United States az 10 to Is

Placing the Blame.

Senator Rayner disagrees with Mr..
Clevelands diagnosis Of the railroad
situation, and in his statement ranges
himself on the side of the people, con-
gress and the president. He says:
do not think there is any delirium
nor insane denunciation, nor the psy-
chology OF a craze, as the ex-president
expressed it. What little interests 1
have and represent are with the rail-
roads, and l am proportionately affected
as much as others by the decline and
liquidation that is going on. which is
worse than a panic, because securities
recover from a panic, but it takes a
long time to recuperate from a daily
decline of this sort. But I tell you
now, and what say to you l have said
to some of the leading railroad presi-
dents and officers in the country within
the last few months. that they are to
blame for all this trouble; that they
are the agitators, and that they are
the men who are responsible for the
present condition of affairs and that
the innocent investors in their enter
prise are losing confidence in them.
Neither the president OF the United
States nor congress deserves the slight
est degree of eensure.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, April 2,-Despite lower
prices from London after a three-day
holiday, stocks upon the local ex-
change showed gains over yesterdays
closing prices Atchison common was
the leading feature of a more or less
strong market. Rumors to the effect
that this stock would be put upon
per cent basis at the regular meet
ing the latter part of this week was
the bull card. This same rumor has
been used upon various occasions be-
fore without ever Undertaking. Some
very good bulls on Atchison common
are not so sanguine of an increase in
the dividend rate and rather discredit
the rumor. In any event. 1t always
has the desired effect of causing the
shorts considerable uneasiness and
compelling them to buy their contracts
al loss The range for Atchison today
was rather wide. opening at Ola, sell
ing up to 50 and back to SO, then TAX
ing another strong squirt UP to 94a4.
All of the traction shares, both in the
east and west came in for a rather
largo and unusual trade today. Brook
lyn Rapid Transit and Interborough
showed fair gains, the former scored
the day. The same class of news as
has been rehashed in the past, talk
of putting the property upon divi-
dend basis. No doubt the real reason
for the advance is a large and I'M
wieldy short interest which over
stayed their market on the late de-
cline, seeing their large paper profits
disappearing they have been liberal
buyers during all the session.
President Roosevelt's recent an
nouncement to act liberal with the
railroad officials providing they in
turn adhere to the law explicitly, has
had a beneficial effect upon prices of
the standard railroad shares. st. Paul,
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Read
ing, Pennsylvania and New York Cen
trail showed a stronger undertone with
higher range of values than prevailed
yesterday. Union Pacific was the most
active and the principal leader in this
group. 1t sold up to 139 and back to
1877 twice during the day, showing a
broad and active speculative market.
A weakening tendency in the call
loan money market gave further Inn
petus to bulls, call loans ruled as low
as 2 n and at no time during the ses-
sion did they range higher than 4 per
cent.
The close of the market generally
was nervous and erratic and with ev-
erything on the list showing gains
with the exception of Canadian Pacific
which showed a decline of five points
due principally to profit taking by the
recent bull party.

WHATEVER is THE CAUSE ?

Is earelessness or dishonesty at the
bottom of the tax delinquencies which
have just been uncovered by Assessor
Fischer?
Whatever is to blame for the state
Of affairs as revealed, 1t is a bit dis
couraging to those honest citizens who
have paid their taxes without attempt
at evasion and have borne the entire
burden Of government to contemplate.
If the officials whose business it is to
look after the county and state reve-
nue. have been neglectful of their du-
ties, 1t is scarcely less discouraging
than had they been corrupted by prop
erty owners whose assessment if levi
ed in proportion to their wealth should
have been more than sufficient to pay the
expenses of governmental administra-
ton, had the honest taxpayers been left
out of the tax roll altogether.
Whatever the reason, the fact re-
mains that for causes which should not
exist, the burden of governmental sup
port has fallen upon the shoulders of
those who could i'll afford to bear it,
while those who should stand beneath
the greater weight of the load have
gone free.

The strength in the general market
was attributed to the more favorable
feeling amongst spectators at large
and also to the contents of a letter
which the president is sending to the
Illinois Manufacturers association, in
which he expresses himself rather
strongly against any acquisition by the
government, as far as railroads are
concerned, but he believes the govern
ment is entitled to have the proper
control of corporations and railroads,
SO that fair treatment is given to ev-
erybody,

CRAZE for lighting railroads
seems to prevail over the country from
President Roosevelt down. The legis-
lature of many states have either
passed or threatened to pass 2-cent-a-
mile railroad fares. Stocks have
slumped and to cap the climax comes
the promised railroad strike, based up
on demand by the engineers, firemen,
and conductors for an increase of 1215
per cent in wages, and a nine hour
day. Surely these are the days that
try the souls OF railway managers.
While some corporations no doubt need
curbing. the danger lies in going to
extremes.

A Senatorial Slip.

Note-Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom of
Illinois told Mr.. Roosevelt that Mr..
Hartman should be sent to the peni-
tertiary for his Chicago & Alton deal.
No. Shelby, no!
Don't send him there;
'Twere better
Any otherwhere.
You seem to think you know just what
Our Eddie is.
But you do not;
You do not half realize
The measurement of Eddie's size.
You talk to Roosevelt like a man
Who had some truly moral plan
Which. If it should be carried out,
Would bring the proper thing about.
But Shelby, say!
The end in view
Won't always pay
For getting through.
Now, think q minute!
If you sent
Our Eddie up for punishment
To any pen on earth. by cripes,
He wouldn't more than have on stripes
Till every stripe would be a line
Which with the others must combine.
They'd all be his, and easy; then
He'd set his mind to work again.
Not railroads now would bring him
ease,
But widespread penitentiaries,
From Maine to California he
Would weave with restless energy
The merger net, the tie that binds
To him whatever Edward finds;
And ere you knew he had hunch
He'd have the whole lot In a bunch
And make his righteous punishment
Pull dividends of ten per cent,
Not counting profits on the side
Which it were just as well to hide.
Say. Shelby,
Take a fresh hitch
You talk as If
You We're asleep at the switch.
| To the pen for Hartman.
| Scat! Skidooi

Coming to you.

t. A. Mcintyre & Cove feel that
we should witness a gradually improv-
ing market and that good stocks IL
bought in a judicious manner with a
good margin on the breaks by bear
raids will show a good profit within
the next 80 or so days. There is a
large short interest IN the market and
it is not likely to be routed easily, and
the city banks have s125,00o,00O of
interest and dividend accounts to fl
nance on April /. Therefore, we
would trade with caution, and not
take on more thana can be convenient

Steel Situation-CharIes M. Schwab
says: The steel business was never
better than 1t is today. The companies
have more business on their books than
ever before and Specifications are
heavy. OF course, the retrenchment
policy of the railroads may eventually
affect the industry, but the railroads
will take all the steel they have con-
tracted for. Prices of steel have been
held at reasonable levels notwithstand-
ing the unusual demand, and for that
reason the industry will be less sus-
ceptible to reactions than would have
been the case had prices been permit
ted to rise in proportion to the de-
mand.
