 He has also been troubled with his foot. and has Kept a bottle of carbolie acid fn his room. gA
 He awoks yesterday afternoon. after having been asieep during the day, as is his custom. with snarting of his eye. and reached over upon nearby stand, where he kept his eye-wash, for the medicine that he had become accus- toned to regard as e sure relief.
 Seizfng what he thought to be the correct bottle. fn the darkened room. he prepared the medicine. and deposited {: few drops in his eye, to relieve the pain. %*s@ a
 Instantly there' was such an agoniz- ing streak of burning fluid sh ooting about his eyeball that he realized there was some mistake. He jumped to his feet in frenzy, turned on the electric bulb in the room. and found that he had dropped some undiluted carbolic acid in the tender organ.
 He tried for moment to wash out the terrible acid with water, but while he washed the outside. 1t seemed to be burning the very ball from the socket, and he rushed at once to a near by drug store, and lafer to a physician. to have the member attended to.
 MT. Haynie was reported last even- ing as resting easily. despite the ter ribIe nature of the accident but 1t fs feared that the sight of the right eye cannot be saved. The organ itself, as well as the outside skin and the lining Co the socket seems to be scared.

 The weather bureau issued the fol- lowing bulletin. Just after the sheets of tn> szfsmog1aph were changed this morning. a graat earthquake was re- co~ded. The ySrecise beginning of the disturbance cannot be made out as yet. Sut fl was noticed before the strong motion began that an earth quake was occurring and the record was adjusted to the middle of the sheet Even with this preeaution, however, the motion of the instrument was SC great as to carry the recording lever far beyond the margin of the sheet so that this disturbance was of con- siderable power. The duration was relatively short and subsided at about 9:zo, seventy-fifth meridian time.
 '@The amplitude of the strong action was apparently as great as four tenths of an inch at Washington. Pari of the record cannot be made out until later"

 Net Yet Located.

Albany. N F.. Oct. 16-The occur renee of an earthquake, of unusual pro- portions was indicated by the seismo- graph at the state museum. which reg istered its passage during the early hours of today.
 The record shows that, the disturb ance originated at a distance of about 5000 miles from Albany, and the vi- bration of one of the instruments was so violent as to exceed its limit for registering.
 According to a bulletin issued by State Geologist Clark the center of the disturbance would seem to have been somewhere to the south or south west The bulletin says:
 "The only disturbance comparable in violence that has been recorded this year was the earthquake of April i. which was so destructfvely felt in Mexico. The present one may very well make a continuation of the movements that have been undr way for some time in the CoTdiiieran and Caribbean Zones. to which may De traced also the earthquakes of San Francisco.

Women as centenarlans.

Once more woman has demonstrated
her superior vitality, to the discom-
future Of mere man. OF the centenari-
ans who died in the United Kingdom
during last year az were women and
only a paltry 16 were men; in 1905
the numbers were Sc and %, respec-
lively, and in 1904, Ill and 90. During
the last ten years the women who
died after completing 100 years, at
least OF life, exceeded the male cente-
narians by 227 to 177--an advantage
OF nearly S5 per cent.
Tested by length OF life woman can
equally claim the superiority. Bridget
Danaher, who died last March In Lime
rick, was said to be 112 years old;
Mary O'Hare, another daughter Of
Erin, was only two years younger, and
Mrs. Sarah Egan. OF Kings county,
was credited with 107 years, while

Old System OF Hooking Abandoned on

In order to successfully accomplish
desired results with the diving method
1t was thought necessary to employ
Greeks, who are accustomed to the
work, as IL seemed doubtful whether
many of those who have followed the
hooking process would care to don the
helmet and leaden shoes and pull
sponge with from 80 to so feet of wa
ter overhead. But recent experiments
by a few have demonstrated that a
little practice and confidence. together
with good physical condition, are all
that Is needed to become diver. AL
ready number of our native spongers
have become proficient in this line,
and the probabilities are that in the
near future large percentage OF the

"ALL DEALERS"
NOW THE BRACELET COCKTAIL.
Another Fascinating Vision of Metro
politan Life.
GALL DEALERS"


The cocktail bracelet is the latest
for women. There are fashionable
women OF this city who wear circlets
on their wrists which sometimes con-
tain a Martini dry or Manhattan,
says New York correspondent. The
bracelets have one drawback, 1t ID
said, and that is they will not accom-
modate the cherry that goes with the
fairy cocktail. The other night a
Pittsburg attorney observed a woman
OF fashion place her lips to her brace
let. He thought that she was paying
tribute to her own loneliness, but
learned later she was merely refresh
ing her inner SELF with mixture OF
cordials. The nip contained in a
bracelet cocktail is so small that 1t
cannot be called drink, but cock
tail 1t is, nevertheless. or course, the
bracelet is hollow. II large enough 1t
holds three thimblefuls OF ready-made
cocktail, and pressure on an almost In
visible spring permits the fluid to
trickle through tiny hole in the gold
shell, which is almost too small to be
seen. With one of those graceful
movements which appear to be nat.
ural with woman the drink may be
imbibed without fear of detection. A
Broadway goldsmith sells numbers OF
the bracelets every week, and as most
OF the purchasers prefer secrecy in
connection with the transaction they
pay pretty penny for the obviously
useful trinkets.
