Good For the Eyes.

1t strengthens the eyes TO battle
them either In very hot water or In
very cold. Better yet is to take pieces
of absorbent cotton, rounded and
made into little pads to fit the eyes,
dip them in ice water and place them
on the lids, changing them as they be-
come hot. After a few minutes Of
such treatment the eyes will feel COM
forted and relieved to a great degree.
This is specially grateful TO the eyes
after riding I'm the wind or after hay
ing been subjected to the dust and
elnders of q railway or the glare Of
bright reflections on The water when
on a boat. Those who have a tendency
to weak eyes should daily use an eye
cup in which IS placed Il boracic acid
solution. The saturated solution diluted
one-half Is generally the best and
sheuld be made fresh for each eye.
The eye should be opened and shut in
the solution half a dozen times or
more, 50 that 1t Will thoroughly battle
the eyeball as well as the lids.

EVENING NEWS SPORTING PAGI
FAN
SENDS LETTER
Fair Minded Sports Views
on Junior League.

The following communication
with regard to the Junior Basketball
League recently formed here, was
received at this office today:
Perth Amboy, N. j.. Dec. 7, 1910.
SPORTING EDITOR NEWS:
Being an ardent rooter for junior
basketball in this city, / hope you
will pardon the liberty / take in
commenting upon the letter tent you
by "A Sport Of Perth Amboy," and
which occupied space in your sport
ing page yesterday.
In the first place, / want to state
that previous to the formation of
said junior league, sufficient notice
was presented through your sport
ing page to gather managers of
young teams. Now, the formation
of said junior league was in no way
fixed, as the previous fact shows,
and remarks~to that end have no
foundation whatsoever. A request
for all Junior managers to join this
league vas printed. Five managers
needed the notice and therefore any
absence OF any manager was due en-
tirely to the neglect of those con-
cerned.
or course, an injustice would be
committed in barring the St. AM
thongs from the league. especially
SO. considering tho ealibre of its
stars" and no doubt their absence
would detreet more or less interest
from the contest, and therefore the
writer, who has q slight connection
with the newly formed league,
would suggest, that a representative
from the st. Anthonys, as well as
any other team not yet entered, be
present at the second meeting Of
tn Board OF Managers tonight at the
Peerless A. G. rooms, and although
the writer does not promise it may
yet be possible to enter the league.
Hoping that this communication
will st at rest any doubt as to the
'squareness' of those concerned In
forming the league, and further
more hoping that 1t will serve as a
request to critics to keep from crit
icizing the ability of teams he has
never seen in action, I remain,
A FAIR-MINDED SPORT OF P. A.

hanbidextrous Rule at

That some athletes are endowed with

One notable case worth mentioning Is
the holder of the worlds broad jumping

Young Mems Hebrew Association
quintet In conjunction with the City
League game in the Auditorium last
night, in which the r. A. G. aggre-

there was not q large crowd of fans
on hand. The game was deserving
of much better patronage than 1t re-

Both teams played a good consist
ent game and 1t looked like any

been reached. Pegnod and Macan

Now that wrestling has been re-
vived in this city why not get II. p.
Hansen to return and give US some
of the~pld-time bouts on the mat?
Running, while not a dead issue
here, has in a sense become a dull
sport and wrestling seems TO be the
next best thing to draw the crowds.
From the way the crowd rushed out
on the floor at the Auditorium, Mon
day night, prior to the match be-
tween Larson and Rossel, it was evil
dent that the spectators were inter-
ested.
The suggestion of the Roosevelt
correspondent that the management
of the Auditorium hold some one
mile amateur events in the running
line Is a good one, If running races
are to be continued in this city.
With the ground covered with
snow further football contests this
season are practically out of the
question. While the season may
have seemed short in this city on ae-
count of the few games, the big

Bowling on Staten Island and at
Keyport Is one of the most popular
sports according to the NEWS sport
ing page. Every day / notice ae-
counts of bowling games from either
one o. both localities, but seldom
see anything about a local match.
The sport used to be a leader here
but for some reason is now a back
number. Bohnsack's alleys, how
ever, and those at Hartmann's hotel
in Front street are active once in a
while.
What do you think of the King
wood Wanderers after their I'M
sportsmanlike actions at the Audi
torium Saturday night? I think
they are a bunch OF cutters. They
can shoot baskets, but prefer to con-
vert the game into a football contest
rather than a clean basketball

Wheeling, w. Va, Gets Pure Milk.
Two years ago a young mar was
made city health officer in Wheeling,
w. Va. He was impressed with the
horrible figures in the field OF infant
mortality. He felt sure from his IN
te%rpretation of the law that he had
the power to stop much Of the year
ly loss of life. To accomplish this
he aimed first at procuring a pure
milk supply for the city. He had the
power to examine samples OF milk
sold in the city, but the examlna-
ton was useless If the results were
merely kept in his record books, so
he decided in the face OF the most
vigorous protest to submit them to
those who kept him In office for the
purpose of safeguarding their health
the public. He published the re-
srllts of his examinations in the daily
res monthly, under the heads OF
p~reservatives, bacterial content, fat,
and dirt. Today he has an almost
uniformly good milk supply Tor
Wheeling, for the public soon Tor
sook the dirty milkmen and bought
from the clean. To put this type or
man in office is to go a long way
toward the solution of public health
questions. The public wants pro-
lection and Is willing to abet the
protector.-The Survey.

and eager inqulrers; and soon begin to
question. Teach them the sacredness of
their own bodies, but let the teachings
be honest and true. Later on teach the
sanctity of marriage and of parental
life. Teach, too, the result of violating

generacy, etc, will follow such viola
ton. knowledge is the safeguard of
life. 1t is far better to prevent than
to rescue, to hinder crime than to pun

vague that the child wonders what you

In reminding his listeners of the
noble work they could to in rescuing
their fallen sisters, the Bishop said that
such work could only be effectively
done by women These fallen ones
could only know what Divine love is
through the human touch. and this
touch must come through woman. His
lordship also favored the establishment
of homes, not under government control,
nor houses of detention. but homes in
the true sense of the word. where loving
hands and hearts would receive and
train the magdalene for future useful
ness and upright womanhood.

American Girl For Whom
Map Of Europe Was Changed

The recent deposition of King Manuel
! Of Portugal and the events of the
young kings life which led up to it
bring back most wildly the story of
Elise Hensler, the American girl who
married a king and became the Countess
Edla. Fifty years ago she lived in
Springfield. Mass, and her father, ac-
cording to the Springfield Republican,
was a very insignificant tailor. The
tailor s daughter, however, married Don
Ferdinand, of Portugal, great-grand
father of King Manuel. One reads that:
The Henslers were humble people and
lived simply. The daughters, Elise and
Louise, were we'll received here and
were given a good musical educa ton.
especially Elise, who had quite a re-
markable voice. Signor Guidi, an Ital-
ian. at the time a wel-known teacher
of the voice, took an interest in Elise
and it was when Signor Guidi went to
Boston that the Henslers went there,
largely through his influence. He be-
heved that Elise had future as sing
er, and wished her to be where he could
continue teaching her.
Elise Hensler, after her removal with
her family to Boston, continued her
studies. She was perseverant in her
work and progressed so well that she
not only appeared in concerts in the
large cities of this country. but also in
Europe, where she sang before royalty
1t was while singing in Lisbon. several
years after the death of Queen Maria.
5hat King Ferdinand heard her voice
and felt the attraction that led him to
marry her.
Ferdinand was the titular King of
Portugal. having been the second hus-
band of Queen Maria II. of Portugal.
Ferdinand married Maria in 1886. when
he was twenty. The Queen died in
1853, and he was regent during the min
ority of his son. Pedro V, who was the
father of the assassinated King Carlos
the grandfather Of the deposed King

Manuel. The regency ended in 1855,
and on June 10, 1869, he married Miss
Hensler.
When the European Powers decided
the time had come to restore Spain to a
monarchy, following the overthrow of
the short republic. which existed from
1873 to 1878. considera bic pressure was
brought to bear upon Ferdinand to in
duce him to accept the vacant throne.
But his wife could never be Queen of
Spain. and it is possible that this fact
alone induced him to refuse.
This absolute refusal on his part to
accept the throne of Spain, with all the
pomp and splendor of royalty in ex-
change for the romantic life that he
was living with his morganatic wife,
had reaching consequences. The
complications and iealousies resultant
on the attempt to find a King accept
able to all the Powers helped to bring
on the Franeo-P russian War, and Alsace
and Lorraine went back to Germany,
whence they had been wrested by
Napoleon Bonaparte.
In consequence of these peculiar his
torical facts. which geogra phically prac
tically changed all western Europe
Elise Hensler, Countess Edla, became
famous throughout the world as the
woman who changed the man of Eur
ope = During the life of the King they
lived in the beautiful castle of Cintra.
It is certain that their life was above
reproach. In 1885 the King died, and
after that the Countess lived in retire
ment in cottage near the castle.
Some of her Springfield schoolmates
are still living. for she was one of the
early pupils of Ariel Parrish in the high
school, which stood on the site of the
present police building on Court Street.
The name appears in a catalog of the
alumni issued in 1857, properly spelled
Elise though she was known to her
schoolmates as Eliza. If she is still
living she is about seventyfour years
old
