 The new game. which can be worked only in connection with cards, was dis covered entirely by accident.
 A notorious gambler of this city re- gently lost an eye in a spirited aiterca- tion. Upon his recovery 1t was re- plsced by glass substitute and 1t was entirely by chance that he discov- cred that the artificial eye was much better than a real one. While engaged m a game of cards the owner of the glass eye suddenly observed that the faces of the cards hld by his adversary were reflected in the gold ring which he was wearing. the glass eye acting as a reflector.
 Improving on this discovery he per- fected an arrangement by which an adversary's cards are, reflected from a glass eye to a specially constructed seal ring containing mirror.
 So successful have the results of this new game proven that 1t Is proposed in some of the circles where games of chance are not exactly frowned upon to make all strangers prove that they are not equipped with 'phony blinkers" beofre permitting them to play.

New York, Sept. 19--(Special) )--The wealth of the United States Is increas- ing at the rate of over s3.00Q,0o0 day from It's agricultural products alone. is the statement made on the author ity of no less an expert than Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson, in the October number of Appletons magazine.
 As a large part of the $4,000, 100000 worth of cereal, cotton and other crops which 1t is estimated that the country is producing this year will go to mar ket within the next few months, IL IS believed by authorities here that this great outpouring of national wealth will mark vigorous revival of pros- porous conditions in lines of general industry.
 Now that 1t Is definitely assured that the principal crops will be large and will command good prices, 1t Is pre- dfcted that he. beginning of 1909 will mark the termination of the period of depression that has existed for the past year.
 The Appleton article graphically de- scribes the various processes of handl- ing the crops which 1t describes as our biggest job It shows that the worldwide mechanism centering in the Chicago Board of Trade by which the grain grower in this country is able to take advantage of every fa- vorable price factor in every part of the world, and to sell his crop at cash figures for future delivery, is of vast financial benefit to the American far- mer m bringing to his door world market for every bushel of grain that he grows. The system not only of handling crops but also of collecting ana distributing crop information has been perfected to a greater extent in the United States than anywhere else in the world. and this fact is pointed out as accounting in no small degree for the unquestioned supremacy of America among the food od-producing countries of the world.
 Without this machinery to register the relation of supply and demand, the chief, agricultural products would be subject to sudden and violen+ price fluctuations that would make farming one of the most hazardous of occupa tions instead of as now. one of ths most secure.
 X fact indicated by the statistics quoted which is likely to come as a surprise to many persons is that the hay crop now ranks second in money value among all the varieties of agri- cultural output, being exceeded only by corn.
 While New York's position as the largest city in America is unquestion- ed. 1t is no longer the largest city of Americans.
 The latter place. as nearly as can bc determined. belongs either to Phiia- delphia or Boston. Father Knicker- becker, however. has other titles to compensate for the loss of this one for his domain ranks not only as the laf- gest city in America. but as the iar-' gest Irish. Jewish and various other kinds of cities.
 According to the latest statistics New York, while falling behind so far as Americans are concerned, has many times the Hebraic population of any

BISHOP MICHAUD
DIES soon AFTER

Vermont Prelate Made Vain
Quest for Health in Europe.
Wanted TO Die Here.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-After a two
months quest of health in Europe, the
Rt. Rev. John Stephen Michaud, bishop
of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bur
lington, VT, died this morning In st.
Vincent's Hospital, where he had been
carried in a dying condition from the
steamer Amerika. Death was caused
by Bright's disease.
The prelate went to Lourdes, France.
when the physicians at Burlington had
given up hope of saving his .:ife. He
believed in the miraculous cures at
Lourdes and thought his health might
be restored; but he suffered a relapse
while in France, and, realizing that the
end was near, he insisted on returning
to America despite the protests Of DR..
Shea, who feared the trip home would
be dangerous.
Bishop Miohaud was born In B%urling-
ton on November "a, 1S43. He studied
at Montreal College, and was graduated
from the Holy Cross College, Worces-
ter, Mass, with the class of 10. He
continued his theological studies at st.
Joseph's Seminary, at Troy, N. Y, and
was ordained Il priest on June Z, 1873.
He was consecrated bishop on June 20,
1892.

State Commission Wants Inter-

Lower Rates Revoked.
URGES COOPERATION OF
BOARDS ELSEWHERE
Railroad Said to Be DESTROYS of
Giving Cheap Communication
to Children.
Especial to the Evening start

PATERSON, Dec. 22.-Evidence was
produced at the hearing given to the
Erie Railroad Company here today by
the State Railroad Commission that the
company was not only willing but
anxious to sell school tickets, but was
prohibited from so doing by the Inter
state Commerce Commission. and
taking this into consideration the Rail-
oad Commission voted to ask the CO.
operation of the State commissions of
New York and Pennsylvania at a joint
meeting in Washington with the Inter
state Commerce Commission and en-
deavor to have this order r~escinded.
Wallace & Taylor, a New York law
firm, representing the Erie, showed
that the Interstate Commission n not
the railroad company was denying
school children special rates.
When the company submitted its
tariff schedule to the commission 1t
contained a provision for school tickets.
The schedule vas returned to the com
pany with the order that school tickets
be eliminated on the ground of dis
elimination. The revised schedule was
then accepted by the commission.
Shortly afterward representatives of
the trunk ines met in New York to
consider the matter, and a delegation
was sent to Washington. The commits
sion declined to rescind the order.
All of the members Of the Railroad
Commission were present when it was
decided to ask for a joint meeting with
the commissions of New York n
Pennsylvania and the Interstate Com
mission.
