MANS EYESIGHT is RESTORED
Eyelids Are Grated on by Taking
Flesh From Patients
Leg.

Bangor, Me.-Forty-seven years
without closing his eyes, then period
Of total blindness, followed by COM
plete restoration Of sight.
This is the experience of John Ran
dolph Watson of the town of Stand
ish. Mr.. Watson was a photographer
in Indianola, and in 1856 an explosion
of chemicals burned away his eyelids,
although the sight was not affected.
But with unprotected eyes he con-
tinued for nearly half a century, three
years of the period being spent in
Alaska. where the severity of the
climate caused cataracts to form on
both eyes, resulting in blindness. He
went to Philadelphia, where he for.
merly lived for time, and was at
the Hahnemann Hospital. and by
grating flesh from his leg he got a
new set of eyelids.
The success Of the operation is
now assured. The cataracts were re-
moved and the sight has been re-
stored.

Gas Fumes.

Pittsburgh.-A few minutes after
little Miss Eleanor Asher scrambled
merrily out of swimming pool. she
lay dying from shock caused by ter
rible burns.
Her hair caught fire while she was
drying it over gas heater at the
Arlington Y. M. G. A. and her death
occurred in the Arlington hospital.
Miss Asher, who was fifteen years Of
age, was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Sydney S. Asher 1858 North Sixtieth
street. At present they are occupying
their summer home at Noble.
The Y. M. G. A. which Is in York
road near Susquehanna road. Is given
over to girls and women three nights
of the week. Friday night was girls
night, and Miss Asher went over for
a swim.
Laughing gayly after her plunge.
Miss Asher went down to the locker
room to dry her hair. There are two
electric hair driers In the room, but the
young women have found that the four
gas heaters installed by Y. M. G. A.
during the season Of coal shortage, for
the purpose of taking the chill off of
the room, dry hair more quickly than
do the electric driers. Their use. how
ever, has been against the house rules.
Flames Envelop Head.
Miss Asher used the gas heater Fri.
day night. She chatted pleasantly
with the girls about her, as she lower
ed her head to the heater.
Suddenly her head was enveloped in
flames. The strands of her long brown
hair had touched the blue fire Of the
gas.
Miss Asher screamed and rushed
wildly about the room. Her friends
bravely made an effort to put out the
flames. but they tried in vain.
Only Miss Ruddech, physical direc-
tor for the women, seemed to have
kept her mind free from hysteria. She
heard the screams of the young women

Frank Garbutt told this one, though
he doesn't vouch for its veracity.

when the door banged open and a

them.

"Have you any children?" roared
the landlord, running a sinewy hand

how they could obtain redress. To
Peter A. McCabe, assistant district az
torney. he outlined her experience as
he had learned 1t from her.
Mr.. Mitchell In 1915 lived at Roam
oke, Va, with his wife, two daughters
and son, when Louise disappeared.
The family was frantic. but never
gave up hope. Last week the elder
daughter visiting in Newark. spied
her young sister on the street. She
embraced her and took her home to
Richmond Hill.
Louise explained that she had been
captured by gypsy band headed by
q man who called himself "Gregory
John" Gregory fancied her as wife
for his son Joe, and in few months
they were married in accordance with
some weird gypsy ceremony. Two
years ago, the girl related, she bore
the son a child, whom the gypsies still
possess.
From the time of her kidnapping the
band roved all over the South in a
couple VI dutOiuODlicS, tiic gin iCihlCh,
stopping here and there to gather In
the shekels. They made her pose as
a queen" she said. and forced her
to tell fortunes whereverathey stopped.
The band drifted north this summer.
and WAS in the outskirts Of Newark
when she met her sister. The girl
led her family to where 1t had been,
but 1t was found that the gypsies took
to their heels and fled when they dis
covered that their queen" had found
her folks.
Mr.. McCabe referred the Mitchell
family to the federal authorities In
New Jersey.

which time detailed arrangements
were made for the Masquerade Ball to
be held on the night Of Novmber 18th.
A good representation of the commit

the members themselves are interest

affair, which will b the first time that
the local soldier boys have appealed
to the people of this city for any pa
tronage.
The present plans. II carried out
will make the Ball one OF the most
elaborate social functions ever held in
this city and will eclipse anything yet
attempted along these lines. Efforts
are being made to secure the large
new high school auditorium, which If
they are successful will serve the pur-
pose to a st." An advertising pro-
gram Of the dance is being prepared.
Several prizes will be awarded for
the best and most unique dressed
couples or individuals. The present
plans include the grand march will
start about 1890 at which time the
Judges will make their selections. Ex-

members feel that this If nothing else,

oil things being equal. But since
when did MI. Wilson change his
mind on this subject. If my memory
serves me right, at a meeting of the
Board of Aldermen held OF the End
of December, 1918, the mayor, John
F. TenBroeck, appointed eight men
as patrolmen subject to the confirm
alton of the board. Two of those men
were then in the government service,
one as a soldier and the other a
sailor, but the other six were every
day citizens.
Alderman Clark was strenuously
opposed to the confirmation of those
men because he thought that those
Jobs should nave been filled by re-
turned service men, but Alderman
Wilson could not see 1t that way.
The result of the vote taken at that
meeting was as follows, for confirma-
ton of the mayors appointments,
Wilson, Hilker, Andersen, Reidy;
against the confirmation of the may
or's appointments, Clark; passed on
the mayors appointments, Waters.

Great Crowds for Edwards
at Democratic Rally
CONTINUED from page -

Senator Edwards told something OF
the work which was placed before
him about eight years ago when he
secured the State COMPREHENSIVE and
began to undertake the financing OF
the states business, n then explain
ed several of the measures he intro
duced and backed while in the Legis-
lature. He attacked the policy of di-
rect taxation for improvements and
advocated the use Of funds secured
from automobile taxes to Keep the
state roads in order and build new
ones.
He declared that members Of the
State Highway Commission should be
elected to office and hat members of
the Public Utility Commission should
be the biggest men that could be Sc
cured.
Senator Edwards, speaking Of the
high cost OF living said:
There seems to have been no ac-
ton taken by the present Republican
administration in an effort to reduce
The cost of living, nor for the purpose
Of providing housing facilities which
IRE 80 badly needed In New Jersey.
IT believe that there should have
been O. special session of the Legis-
lature called to take up both of these
questions and to devise a scheme
whereby the State government could
aid the Federal Government and the
local authorities in reducing the cost
of necessities, and providing for pub
lie markets, and dealing with the
important question which is especial
ly vital to New Jersey, the manner in
which the fishing industry along the
coast has been handled In this state.
It seems to me hat the cost of food
stuffs could be materially reduced in
this State, If all the authorities, local.
county, and State, could be brought
into complete cooperation with the
Federal authorizes"

Mr.. Wilson seems to have a short

his attitude toward the ex-soldiers
and sailors" was Mr.. Glark's only
comment in connection with his state
ment.
Mr.. Clark said: >"Regarding what
appears TO be an interview in rela-
ton to more police needed, given by
Alderman Wilson, in that interview
Mr.. Wilson gives Mayor Dorsey a
clean bill of health by saying that
no one could accuse the mayor of
showing any political favoritism in
making his appointments to the po-
lice force. Mayor Dorsey has not
made any appointments to the police
force since he took office SO how
could he show any favoritism politi-
cal or otherwise7

the appointment of ex-service men to
fill the vacancies that exist in the
police department at this time which
