HOPE that GORE
MAY RECOVER sight
Sufficiently to Enable Senator to
Get About without Any
Attendant.

Washington, June 15.-Widespread
interest is being felt in the efforts
being made to restore in one eye, at
least the sight of Senator Gore of Ok
lahoma. The senator himself has been
considerably encouraged and the
specialists, of whom DR.. Will
liam Holland Wilmer is chief
have nope that he may
ultimately be able to see sufficiently
10 go abroad without an attendant,
though they are not yet sanguine
enough to believe that the senator
will ever be able 10 read.for he has
been blind twenty-seven years. Mr.
Gore, in spite of his affliction, has
attended to his legislative duties and
during the past session, on account of
his blindness and his fine oratorical
powers he greatly Interested visitors
10 the senate chamber.
In the midst of his treatment Senator
Gore hears that he is to have opposi-
ton for reelection, VI. l.. Turner. who
was vo ed for al The primaries last veal
being reported as ready 20 Try con-
illusions again. If this report is veri-
fled Mr.. Gore will suspend ureatmen
and go back home 10 look after nj,
fences. He drew the short Germ which
expires March 4, next.

Disregards Depression.

The Illinois Central Railroad COM
pany has placed an order with the Ten
nessee Iron and Coal company for
$4,000 tons of steel rails TO cost ST.
456, 900. The rails will be used on the
new line TO be operated between
Chicago Birmingham and Atlanta.
The order signalizes the return of
prosperity in the South. 1t means
the immediate employment of 1000
skilled workmen, who have been idle,
and the placing in circulation of thou
sands of dollars.
The Central order is the largest that
has been placed since theflnancial de-
preston became evident in the fall.
Only one order, placed by the Penn
sylvania railroad. comes any way near
the Illinois Central's. The company
announces that it intends to disre-
gard whatever is left of the panic and
resume business on the old scale.

A Strenuous Musician.

The piano-playing record of the
world was recently broken by young
Australian athlete, c. w. Healy, who,
starting off on a Thursday, a 8 p. IN.
to the simultaneous lighting of thou
sands of electric lights at Princes
Court Melbourne, played continuous
until Saturday. of the same week at
1890 p. m. He thus played without
a stop, for the phenomenal time of fiji
ty'an one-half hours. Asked what train
ing he underwent for such a feat, he
replied: Nothing extra whatever,
AS you know my business is physical
culture, and l study natural health
laws and live up to Nature in every
point possible. | always manage TO
secure fresh air, good plain food, heal
thy athletics, etc., and | am fit at

to the principles of the Democratic
party as represented by jefferson and
advocated by a long line of illustrious

TOBACCO TROUB.
LES near end.
Number of Soldiers In the
Field Greatly Reduced.
Adjutant- General Thinks The
Worst Is Over--few Raids In
Last Few Weeks.

Tobacco trouble in Kentucky are al
most at an end and the situation Is
greatly improved, according 10 reports
which mas been received by the ad-
jutant generals department says the
Frankfort News. The troops which
have been on duty for several weeks
are being relieved and only those SOL
diers absolutely needed TO protect
life are now being kept on duty. The
force in the field will be greatly reduc-
ed this week and may be further reduc-
cd as the situation improves. This
does not mean that the soldiers are
going to be called in. however. They
are going to be kept on duty wherev-
er they are needed but AdIt. Gen. John
son has said that the need of soldiers
now is to protect the lives of he men
who have had the courage 10 tell of The
outrage which had been perpe5rated
upon them.
Organization of the men who are
raising tobacco and their formation
into compact body, with leaders and
pre-arranged signals, has had much to
do with the present condition. The
men who are growing tobacco have
formed themselves into compact or
ganization with every man fully pre-
pared to protect himself or his prop
erty. This organization has made, it
dangerous for night riders 10 be about
and in any district of the State where
night riders operate they take their
lives into their hands when they stare
out on a raid. The growers, by that
is meant the men who do not belong
to the Burlay Tobacco Society, and
who are planting tobacco this year,
are fully able TO take care of them
selves and to protect their crops.
OF course, one thing that has tend
ed to help the situation in the Burnley
district is the fact that nearly every
tobacco patch which Is TO be planted
has already been planted and it is a
very different proposition destroying a
plant bed from destroying a field of
growing tobacco. To destroy a field n
growing tobacco is task one that re-
quires a great deal of time for atten-
ton would have to paid to each plant
and in a ten or twenty-acre field this
would mean a job of several days.
Once the tobacco plants are set out
in the field it will be almost out of the
question for the field 10 be cleared OF
tobacco without its being known and
without somebody's interrupting the
proceedings. II is believed that there
will be no attempt tod estroy tobacco
which has been planted and in all
cases where the tobacco plants have
actually been set out in the field, the
plants will be permitted to grow with
out molestation.
The soldiers and the association OF
men VINO do not belong to the no-cror
movement have had the desired effect
of stopping the night riders raidss ant
there has been no outbreak in the lasi
few weeks that has been serious. The
Adjutant General and the Governor
are breathing much more freely now
and think that things are so shappinl
themselves that there will be no more
trouble. They hope that the 5obaccC
war is at an end and that Kentucky
Is 20 have peace and quiet for some

Another Mysterious Rain.
Another

A correspondent writing 10 The
Times from Slick Rock, says An
other example of ram falling in one
particular spot, and that when The sky
was perfectly clear has been witness
ed in the Slick Rock country. A few
days ago Mrs. j. II. Chsm was sur
prised 20 notice qui-e a shower of rain
falling in front of her kitchen door,
and not a sign of a cloud visible,
though the rain was sufficient to have
wei a man in his shirt sleeves. When
her husband came in at noon, Mrs.
Chlsm called his attention 10 the fact
Unwilling 10 believe any thing sup
ernatural WAS causing ,his phenomena
hey SET about 10 discover the natur-
al cause of it. They observed that
rain was falling just beneath a very
rank grape vine, and upon examining
the grape vine found it infested with
vast number of little striped bugs,
about the size, but hardly The shape.
of lightning bugs, from which this
rain was continually falling. Since
then quite a number of their neigh
bors nave witnessed it, and all are
willing to testify to the above facts. |
1t is thought his little bug draws the
sap from the grape vine, and this is
what forms the rain.
Now they would like to know If
the Glasgow Junction rain which so
puzzled the people of that place a
few months ago, could have been ex-
planned in this natural way."-Glas-

M0narchical Manners In the
White. House,

The social arbiter has ruled in the
White House with an iron hand
during the past few years. Early
in the present regime it became whis-
pered abroad that the canalle was to
be no longerwelcome at the White
House. There we no place there for
so many of those plain decent but OBJ
scure woman who used to go TO those
delightful afternoon receptions and teas
of Mrs. Cleveland. But the White
House has never been SO brilliant with
receptions musicales and dances and
there has never been seen so much of
that small element in our democracy
that isscalled 'ssocieJy." The social ex
clusiveness of the White House has of
course considerably affected social life
in all official circles in Washing on es-
pecially in the Cabinet. The President
of the United States is by the long
traditional etiquette of mis- office pro-
hibited from dining out except in the
houses of his Cabinet Ministers. Mr..
Roosevelt scrutinzes with all the care
of King Edward the list of persons
whom he will allow 10 dine in his com
pany when he is a guest.
The old invitation 10 the White
House has in effect become a royal
summons TO the White House not only
TO politicians but even to railroad
presidents and everybody else. There
has been a mighty change since the
day when Mrs. Lincoln prepared feas
and the President invited number
of friends to dine with Gen. Grant.
The hero of AppomattoA slipped out If
Washington and the President good
naturedly laughed at his absence. Sen
ator Plat refused to go 10 the White
House on the invitation of President
Mckinley on account of "a previous en-
gagement." But anyone who fails to
60 to the White House now on sum-
mons must show a doctors certificate.
Two or three winters ago there was
/ DduQueJ at TIE w ulIt 11OuSt dt WuiCi
one of the ladies invited failed TO
appear. A summons was sent to no
ted Washington society bells. She was
entertaining her fiance at dinner and
refused 10 leave her own table but
her mother prevailed upon her to go.
On another occasion woman-a guest
of honor at a dinner that was being
given at one of the embassies-was
summoned from the table TO take the
place of an absentee at the White
House. Her hostess a proud Coun-
tess protested that her dinner party
should not be broken up, but here
the diplomatic wisdom of an
! Ambassador prevailed. In his
own country he knew what
it meant TO have a royal master.
The atmosphere of the White House
+ once democratic and free, has become
tainted with the manners of monarchy
Servility and arrogance go hand in
hand military display social censor
snip and exclusion of plain people are
used to impress the Imagination OF
the minimizing as at the courts of Eu-
rope.-David f. Sinclair in Harper's
