There is, however, one spot which at present
has scarcely attracted the interest that it de-

Buganda people. 1t is situated about TWEEN

royal residence and from Namirembe, the
site of the Anglican Cathedral and hend-
quarters OF Bishop Tucker, who has been so
closeiy associated with the modern history
and the development of the country. Budo
is easily reached from Entebbe by rickshaw,
or bicycle, and the journey is one of great
interest and beauty through grand forests
and banana plantations. SO closely is Budo
associated with the kings of Uganda that
the phrase "'to go to Budo' means to become
king, There the kings OF Uganda have been
crowned or invested, and the ceremonies in
connexion with the coronation or investlture
are of some interest. When the first period

Blind Man Hopes
To See Through
Murderer's Eye

Atlanta, Ca, August ia
surgical operation that would have
staggered the imagination of Poe
in his widest dreams Of fancy is
soon to be performed in Atlanta.
The eyes of a man condemned
to death for murder are to be
taken out and put in the slghtless
sockets o. blind man who sells
newspapers on the corner of Deca-
tur and Peachtree street.
The condemned man is Robert
L. Clay, who killed his wife some
months ago; and the news boy is
John Cashln, who lost his sight
several years ago.
DR.. Phin zy Calhoun, eye spe-
ciaIisf and son of The late DR..
Calhoun. has promised Cashin that
he will give the operation a trial
provided Clay and his relatives
will consent to give his ewes TO
blind Cashin, and an other we'll
known specialist is also interested.
The story is one worthy to be
handled by man OF genius. Cashln
has chung to a hope that some clay,
somehow, his sight would be re-
stored; just as the child dreams
that his dead mother has been
mlraculously raised from the
grave.
When Cashin read that Clay
must die for murd,r r, that there
was no hope of stay or, respite, be
conceived the idea of having the
condemned mans orbe transferred
to him, and went to see eye special
lists. They were inclined to treat
the proposition as absurd and
childish, while from a scientific
standpoint they thought it impos
sible.
But Cashin persevered, finally
convinced them the operation was
worth attempting, and CashIn, be-
lieving with implicit faith that
he will see again, is the happiest
man in Atlanta.
