REMARKABLE EYE OPERATION
Cleveland Physician Regains Sight At
ter Seven Years by Delicate
Use of Knife.

New York.-Through one of the
most remarkable optical operations
ever performed, Dr. H. l.. Cha
pin, a prominent Cleveland physician
and literary man who lost his sight
during a trip across the Syrian des-
erts seven years ago, can now see as
well as when he was boy and two
days ago he saw his wife distinctly
for the first time since they were mar
ried four years ago. Doctor Chaplin,
failing to find an eye specialist in
Europe or India who would accept his
case, came to New York where DR..
Arnold Knapp performed the opera
tion.
1t consisted of cutting the outer veil.
ings of the eye, pulling back the ep.-
thenial coat and part of the conjunc-
tiva to get to the cornea. This of
itself was precarious, but a slit was
made down to the vitrious fluid and
then with the eye being held so that
none of the flued could escape, the
superf1uous part of the iris causing
the blindness was cut away.

John Vartley, who is connected with
the Lyceum theatre, asked Coroner
Jamison to take official action. Cor
oner Jamison listened intently as
upon which he based his request for
an investigation.
Not Allowed at Bedside.
Associates of Mr. Gulick a week
ago alleged that during his last i'll
ness they were denied admittance to
his bedside.
When Gulick died, the cause of
death was first announced as acute
Bright's disease. Later the prime
cause of death was given as paralytic
dementia, with Bright's disease as a
contributory cause.
When the theatrical season closed
in the spring, Gulick went to Atlantic

rs DIE IN THEATER PANIC
SIXTY OTHERS ARE INJURED IN
MOVING PICTURE HOUSE..
Ungallant Men Trample Down Wo.
men and Children In Frantic
Effort to Escape.

Canonsburg, Pa.-Deeds of almost
unbelievable inhumanity during the
moving picture panic that re.
suited in the loss of 26 lives and tho
injury to 60 other persons in the
Canonsburg opera house are now told.
The terror stricken man whose fran.
tic and unnecessary shrek OF "fre!"
brought about the disaster escaped by
clamboring over the PROSTATE heads
of his victims. A reward of $500 Is
offered by j. r. Ferguson, proprie-
tor Of the film show, for the Identified
tion and apprehension Of this man.
AS Deputy Coroner McNary checked
off the names of the 26 victims, it
became apparent that gallantry was
not conspicuous in most of the men
who were present in the opera house
when the panic occurred, for nearly
all of the victims are women and chill
dren, trampled down by the stronger
sex in their frantic effort to escape.
Like the Boyerstown panic in 1908
the tragedy is another tale of stair
ways that proved death traps. The
film show was on an upper floor. Fire
escapes were provided on the front
of the building but they were not
practical. Exits leading to them, it
that women and children were unable
to open them. The stairways offered
the only recourse and in these oc-
Cured frightful loss of life. When
the film entitled In Bitter Irony, "a
Little Child Shall Lead Them" burst
into flames, the audience of 1000 per-
sons rushed like horde of cattle be-
fore a prairie fire for the stairway
leading to the first floor. The inno-
cent were trampled like rubbish under
the feet of maddened, fighting, des-
perate men who in their excitement
forgot all sense of manhood.
In statement just issued Manager
Ferguson of the film show said:
There was no fire of any kind. The
No fuse burned out and what damage
was done to the film was quickly re-
paired. The film broke and the light
showing through the wire screened
curtain gave the appearance of fire.
All thouse who lost their lives were
caught in the crush near the foot of
the stairs. Had they remained in the
seats and gone out in the usual man
ner, all could have got out through
the regular exits, including the rear
stairway and fire exits. The building
was approved by inspectors and had
every requirement demanded by the
law. l will do my utmost to aid the
coroner and others in the official in
vestigation."

Nauuhty, but Nice,


Edith, who is eight years old, was
invited to children's party. Her
blonde hair was perfectly straight,
but becomingly arranged. and she
started off in high feather.
But on her return she was rather
silent, and on being questioned as to
her experience, said:
II had nice time, but It would
have been nicer if my hair was kinky.
All the other girls hair was kinky,
and l shan't go to another party un-
less my hair is fixed in kinks"
So the next week, when another
invitation came for the little girl. her
hair was curled and fluffed out In the
most approved style.
Then her mother led her to a mir
ror, and said: There, Edith, what do
you think Of it?"
Edith regarded herself soberly for
moment, and then, turning slowly
around. she said: ITS vain, but I
like It,"

that time she occupied fashionable
apartments on State street. He fell

HURRICANE DRIVES
SEA into MAINLAND
GREAT STORM SWEEPS OVER
CHARLESTON AND ITS iMME-
date VICINITY.
FIVE LIVES ARE BLOTTED OUT
Property Valued at More Than Mil
lion Dollars Is Destroyed, Ship
ping in the Harbor Suf-
ferlna Heavily.

Summerville, s. Give lives were
lost and property valued at more than
a million dollars in Charleston and it's
immediate vicinity was destroyed by
hurricane that swept in from the
ocean at 95 miles an hour. Great dam
age was done 10 shipping in the har-
Dor here.
For more than "a hours the city of
Charleston was practically isolated
and it's inhabitants marooned, while
the storm was at it's height. The wind
blew water over the seawall into the
city until it was several feet deep in
nearly all the streets. The storm be-
ban to assert itself late in the after
noon. The day had been very warm
and the majority of the people had
gone TO the two breathing spots of
which the city boasts-Sullivans
island and the Isle of Palms-for a
Whit of salt air. The gale increased
in intensity every hour and soon the
people were crowding the trolley cars
that run lengthwise of the two islands
in an effort to reach the ferry boats
to return to the mainland. Soon the
harbor became so rough that it was
out of the question to make the trip
without great risk. This decision left
hundreds of people marooned on the
islands where they spent night of
terror, the wind swapping off trees,
breaking glass in the hotels and cot
tages and forcing the water up over
the island until nearly all of it was
submerged. The wind died down about
sunrise and as soon as it was deemed
safe tugs and other craft put off from
the mainland and came to the rescue
of the frightened people.
With Charleston in darkness and
the storm sending great waves over
the Battery wall, the people in the
city proper spent decidedly uncom-
Portable night. They have been ac-
customed, to certain extent, to hav-
ing shutters ripped off buildings and
sent crashing against the neighbours
house, to hear the crash of glass and
the swapping of trees, when the East
Indian hurricane makes it's almost an
nual appearance, but they never be-
fore experienced the fear of being en-
quilted by a tidal wave. The wind
increased steadily in force as the
night wore on and about midnight
water began coming over into Battery
park in great waves. From here it
quickly found it's way into the yards
and lower floors of the residences in
this section and then sought its level
in places farther inland. The wind
quickly put telephone and telegraph
wires out of commission and in a
short time the water found it's way
into the power house of the electric
light company, causing a suspension
of work there and leaving the city
in darkness. The Union depot was
submerged to a depth of three feet
and the lowlands near the city were
one vast lake of saltwater. The de-
pot was partly unroofed by the wind.
Many beautiful shade trees, for which
the city is famous, were broken off
like pipe stems. Windows were blown
in all over the city and stocks of
merchandise were wrecked in numer-
GUS stores.
