IN CHELSEA, $4,000 HOMELESS
Sum of 100000 Donated to Care for
Boston Suburb Fire Victims.

men and policemen on guard had no
difficulty in handling it.
Many of the church societies had
big out-of-door meetings in the public

Captain Benjamin F. Knowles, a Grand
Army veteran. This makes the 18th
body thus far found in the ruins.
The general relief committee in a
statement today declares that $4,000
people were made homeless and that
10000 of these need not only tempo

habilitated at least to the extent OF
absolutely necessary housekeeping

GETS SIGHT AFTER 80 YEARS
Blind From Early Childhood, Today
is Cured by German Oculist-Adept
With the Braille Notation.

Blind from her early childhood, Miss
Alice Hollis, who is now about 40
years old, journeyed alone all the way
from Port Huron, Mich, to Wiesbaden,
Germany, and her courage has been
rewarded by the recovery of her sight.
She has just undergone successful
operation at the hands of Professor
Pagenstecher, an eminent oculist.
OF peculiar interest is the story of
Miss Hollis affliction and of her brave
venture across land and sea. Losing
her sight when 13 years old, she was
educated in a school for the blind in
Michigan, and since her mothers
death, seven years ago, she has sup
ported herself by teaching music and
conducting a boarding house. When
she saved enough to go abroad, in the
hope of regaining her sight, she wrote
to Walter G. Holmes, manager of the
Matilda Ziegler Magazine for the Blind,
in New York City, and solicited his
aid.
Mr. Holmes met her on her arrival
and took her to the Statendam, of the
Holland-American line, upon which
she had booked passage. Mr.. Holmes
took her to her stateroom and saw that
her baggage was properly disposed.
On every piece she carried, as well
as on her ticket was a slip of paper
containing Braille notation, so that
by touch of the finger she could tell
what each was.
Before the ship departed Mr.. Holmes
also asked several women if they
would not occasionally look in on Miss
Hollis in her stateroom or walk about
with her on the deck, and her recent
letter to him shows they were kind
ness itself.
IF they had been my sisters" she
says, they could not have done more
for me- One of them even came and
roomed with me-" Continuing, she
writes:
81 have had an operation on both
eyes, and the doctor says l shall see
well with my right and some with my
left, and l can read by the aid of a
glass all the letters on a card
Il never saw Drawer women in my
| life, to undertake this long journey
alone" said Mr.. Holmes, recently
Her letter, you will notice, is written
with her own fingers in the Braille
notation. She has been a reader OF
our magazine, and, like many Others
similarly afflicted, made it a sort of in
formation bureau. OF course, we are
glad at all times to assist any one"

has offices at No. 300 West Firty-thirC
street was founded and is maintained

the worst of the rise is yet to reach
that point.

DRASTIC ORDERS GIVEN
Railroad Gives Orders to Discharge
all But Citizens of U. S.

Pittsburg, pam order has been
Issued by the Pennsylvania railroad
to discharge all foreign workmen and
to employ in their stead native Amer
lean or naturalized citizens. This &C
ton is in line with that of big coke
companies, who not long ago decided
to discriminate against alien labor as
undesirable from the standpoint of
efficiency and because of its disorderly
tendencies. When the order reached
Pittsburg to discharge all foreigners,
some of the foremen in the cleaning
departments and section forces object
ed When the objections reached head
quarters peremptory orders, supposed
have been issued by superintendent
of these departments, were issued to
discharge foreigners at once. The or
der means that thousands of foreigners
who have been favored in the past will
be out of employment. Foreigners
who are out of work have learned that
if they are naturalized nc objections
are made to them. AS a result, the
courts in western Pennsylvania have
been kept busy making citizens of
hungarians, Slavs, Polanders and Ital-
ians, who predominant.

What's the Trouble.

That there has been some emer-

United States which convinced the
administration of the urgent need of
squeezing out of congress every cent
possible for navy is believed by rea-

emergency is so serious that the presi-
dent and Secretary Root have taken

gressmen of it in hope of securing

San FranciScO.-Silverb bars, 549sc;
Mexican dollars, 81.
A strike of rich gold ore in the
Umatilla mine in the Orogrande (Ore.)
district is reported. The report states
that an ore body eight feet wide has
been encountered in the lower work
ings of the NINE and that the ore
averages in value $24 to the ton.
A contract has been awarded for
building the 200 ton concentration to
be erected by the Morning Mammoth
Concentrating company at Metaline,
Wash. 1t is stated the plant will cost
$4,000.
At a recent meeting of the executive

handle smelter at Standpoint, Idaho,

present owners.
Wallace, Idaho.-County Assessor
Smith reports that in 1907 there were
2e4 mining claims patented in Sho-
shone county, which is far in excess
of any other year. Claims represent
an area of 3211 acres.
The last carload of ore sent out from
the Westmont mine, on SLOGAN lake,
averaged 405 ounces of silver to the
ton. This is the third carload sent
out since the opening of the mine.
British Columbia Mines.
The War Eagle mine, in Rossland,
which was believed to have been prac-
tically worked out years ago, is now
regarded by mining men as one of the
best mines in the province.
The we'll known Banner group OF
copper claims in Summit camp, which
has been inactive for several years, is
about to resume operations.
For many weeks to come there will
be no work done at the CRANKY mines
at Phoenix on Sundays. Manager
Hodges states that on account of the
repairs to be made to the smelter OF
the company the shipments will be
reduced for some time, and it has beer
determined that the mines will moi
be operated on Sundays. While the
repairs are going on there will be one
furnace idle all the time. Last weel

INFANT DISEASE CAUSES ALARM
Doctors Are Perplexed as to an Effect
i've Remedy.

Sporadic cases of infantile paralysis,
which are again appearing in New
York, have aroused gravest fears of
many eminent physicians and the
department of health that New York
is again on the threshold of another
epidemic of this disease, which rem
ders 90 per cent of those attacked
cripples for life.
Similar to Spinal Meningitis.
During last years epidemic more
than 1000 cases were under observa-
ton in the various hospitals, and it is
estimated that 80 per cent of the pa
tients were permanently crippled.
Infantile paralysis is similar in many
respects to spinal meningitis. The adj
vance symptoms are the same and the
diseases are believed to be related.
Although seldom causing death. in
fantile paralysis is held by physicians
to be one of the most terrible diseases
with which humanity is a icted.
DR.. ]. F. Terriberry, who is in
charge of the clinic of the New York
Hospital for Crippled Children, and a
pioneer in the investigation, declared
that 60 per cent of the cripples in the
world were made such by infantile
paralysis.

Russia Lands Troops to Protect Her

Tifis.-The situation on the Persian
frontier arising from the activity of
marauding Kurds has not materially
improved. The Persian bandits again
concentrated in force yesterday and
renewed their attack against Belesu-
var. The Russians countered with
energy, and their artillery bombarded
several villages in which the brigands
had taken refuge. The Russian COM
mander has orders to dispense and
entirely wipe out the bands.

cation of Russia's rights under the

Hold Troops for Elections.

Detroit, Mich.-According to officers
of the Seventh regiment the real rea-
: on why the Seventh did not go to the
Philippines recently is that the gov
eminent fears anarchistic and labor
troubles, particularly at election time
this fall. Two weeks ago the Seventh
was ordered to the Philippines. A
week later the order was countermand-
ed without explanation. 1t is declar-
ed here that President Roosevelt and
Secretary of War Taft think the pos
sibility of serious rioting in the United
States is strong enough to warrant
keeping the soldiers in this country.
The Seventh was to replace the Second
regiment, now on it's way home. Now
no regiment will take the place of the
Second in the islands. 1t is said the
government thinks the menace of dis
order by unemployed workingmen, in
cited by anarchists and radical social
lists, is really greater than the danger
of actual anarchists rioting.
