How Rolling Stock is Turned Oat Jt at the Great West Milwaukee Shops. Like Clockwork. I It is tt good many years since the West Milwaukee shops of the Milwaukee toad commenced erecting freight cars, and yet one cnn remember. pretty well the long lines of freshly-painted cars that -would come in every now and then direct from the builders' big shops in this 01 that to add to equipment of rolling stock. It was something of a iioroltj to see consignments of this character and very good barometer -of the state of fall crops.

Nowadays, however, tilt- addition lo the stock of cars accrues and very unostentatiously, and' ji-l many linos new cars are added I'inli And instead of Eastern shops sending their products up here, hundreds of men given employment in tins the year round building new fuiglit curs. The big frame shop at West Milwaukee, under the supervision of John 3. Hennessey, supi-rintendent of the car department of the Milwaukee turns out fifteen cars every day es- and a small acreage of lone wheels. And West Milwaukee shops supply every bit of manufactured material that enters into the construction of these cars, but this is another story. Thousands of men contribute to' the work of turning out the daily string of new cars.

TREATY REJECTED. United States Dissatisfied with Some of Samoan Agreement. Washington, D. Nov. United States has declined to accept the agreement as to the disposition of the Samoan islands reached by Great Britain and Germany.

It was possibly the leaking out of some information to this ef-. feet that gave rise to the report circulated in European capitals recently of the development of a serious hitch in the negotiations. As a matter of fact, there is no serious hitch and the reasons which influenced the state depart- ron puna seph Perrault was 'far -u -deer by George Baird and shot through the right thigh. BELATIVES MUST PAT. State Board of Control will Take to Correct an Wisconsin will receive a sensational order from the state board of control next week, which will particularly interest well-to-do relatives of persons who are confined in the state insane asylums, and which by no means will go unnoticed by the- officials and medical attendants of the same asyloms.

The order will aim principally to put a stop to the abuses of the state charity at the of means, who send their insane relatives to asylums and leavu their expenses to be paid by the state, and it will entirely reorganize the system of medical attendance which now prevails. The order is now being drawn up by Judge Lyons, a member of the state board, and is being very carefully thought over and worked so that it will contain nothing which will lead really deserving poor people into the belief that they cannot send their insane to the asylums without paying for them.

And then finally the painters come along and they put on the bright red ineiit here in rejecting the British- tiermau arrangement when it was submitted for approval related entirely to minor matters and touched rather upon the form than the substance of the arrangement. Having rejected the tentative treaty submitted by the other two powers, olir government has in turn, and at the instance of the other parties, prepared and submitted draft of a treaty which it is hoped will be acceptable to all three This is now before the foreign offices at London and Berlin for consideration, and it is confidently believed here that it will receive unanimous approval, not differing in principle, as al- stated, from flip original project.

York. Nov. special to the Herald from -Washington says: It is stated authoritatively that there is no truth in the report from Berlin that Secretary Hay proposed to surrender American rights in the Smnouu group in exchange for the (Caroline islands. The marter has never been suggested by the negotiations in progress between the United States. Great Britain and Germany respecting the partition of Samoa.

The Ramoan question has been the object of diplomatic negotiation for a number of years. It pertains to a group of fourteen in the South Pacific ocean. Because of the conflict between rival contestants for the kingship, the I'nited States. Great Britain and Germany in 1889 made a convention by which they guaranteed the neutrality uf the islands and stopped the sacrifice the insane each county which sends a patient to a state asylum pays the state $1.50 for the maintenance of the patient and the state pays $4.50 a week for his or her maintenance, the total weekly- cost of keeping a patient being $0. In each of the state asylums there are confined a number of persons whose relatives are amply able to pay for them, but who prefer to put the burden on the state, la order, however, that the relative may not be listed as one who is supported by public charity, they pay the asylum authorities $1.50 a week, and the comity from which the patient comes, being thus relieved of its portion of the expense, the person in that county is recorded as being supported by relatives.

The county being responsible for only $1.50 this is perfectly proper as far as it goes. But it does not go far enough to suit the state board for the reason that after paying the $1.50 county charge, the relatives forget that the patient is costing the state $4.50 a week, at any rate the assumption is that they forget, as they never make any attempt to reimburse the state. Incidentally it may be stated that they can refrain from paying the state without any danger it becoming known that they are keeping a relative in an institution at the state's expense. The state board of control in its forthcoming order will revolutionize this system by providing that the relatives of the insane person shall pay the county charge of $1.50 a week only after they have paid the state charge of $4.50. In other words, the claim of the state will take ONE DAY'S WORK AT MILWAUKEE SHOPS.

A few days ago Miss Alberta McKinnie looked out of the windows of the "suggestion room" at the Eye and Ear infirmary and burst into tears. Other patients have looked from the windows of the infirmary and shed tears eaueed by suffering. But Miss McKinnie wept for pure joy, and she.praised Cod and Dr.

Holt alternately. Small wonder that she did, for upon her has been wrought a truly modern miracle. Blind since birth, the achievements of modern medical science have given the sight that for twenty-nine years has been denied her. Miss McKinnie belongs in Kockland, and she was born blind. Over each eye a congenital cataract, obscured the visiou.

She lived with relatives who clothed and fed her. One day a stranger saw Miss McKinnie and looked at her eyes. He- told her that he believed if she would go to the Eye and Ear infirmary an operation might be performed that would enable her to see. The neighbors scoffed. It was ridiculous- But hope found lodgment in Miss McKinnie's breast, aud her one thought was to came to Portland.

Rev. Mr. Woodman of Uockland interested himself in her. and she wus sent here for treatment. It is a delicate and peculiar operation that Dr.

Holt performed upon Miss McKinnie when he removed, two congenital cataracts. It is an that is usually unsatisfactory. A white substance, which was about the color of milk and of the consistency of butter, Was spread over pupil. It could not be removed by cutting away like a hard substance. Instead it had to be stirred up, BO to speak, and then the doctor trusted in a great measure to absorption to remove it.

For fourteen weeks the patient has been at the infirmary. The operation has been performed by easy stages for the purpose of watching and studying each change. Little by little the milky cataracts disappeared until now but a small white speck remains on each eye, and it is thought that these will disappear in time. In all probability another slight operation will be performed to correct a slight crossed effect that appears in the restored organs. When the final operation was performed the eyes were battdaged and carefully kept from the light for several days.

When they were strung enough to be fitted with glasses it was difficult task to find just the kind that she needed, but it was finally accomplished. Dr. Little placed them on Miss McKinuie and led her to the window for the first time. It was almost like being born into a new world for Miss McKimiie. Of course a good many things she had a general idea of thraagh hearing people talk about them.

Directly opposite the infirmary a man was walking about on the'flat roof of a house. It was the first object her eyes rested upon. "What is it?" asked Dr. Little. "It must be a man." she answered.

So on, one by one, different objects were pointed out and sheAras asked to tell what thqy, were. A man with a pail went by. She said she thought that must be a pail because she had felt of one while she was blind. -then a dog went by in the street. She stared in astonishment, and then cried aloud.

"Oh, is that a dog? I never imagined they looked like that." Trees were a mystery to her. Their spreading Jjmb.s and autumn-tinted foliage held her spellbound. She had never seen colors before. Electric cars were.a wonderful thing, as was the electric light. She could not understand the power that was back of them.

When asked "wh'at her feelings were when she first out that, she could see, she replied: "Well. I don't know as I can tell you. My eyes seemed be swimming in water and I thought I was looking at a Jake. The mist slowly cleared away and then I "saw the face of Dr. Hott.

was the first humau face I had ever seen, End he is the best man in the world! I shall bless him nn- til'my dying day," When asked if -she- had been out of doors she said: "Oh, yes, several times. I can't describe to you my sensations. I have seen so much that is beautiful and I have so much more to see. I am learning to read now and have got I can pick up a good deal out of a newspaper. I have read some by means of the raised letters provided for blind folks, so it hasn'f been so very hard to learn the letters in print.

If I could only stay here forever I would be perfectly happy-." While similar operations have been performed, it is seldom that they result ss successfully as. this one. To give an idea of just what her sight now is, it may be said that ten-tenths represents the normal or perfect vision. Miss McKinnie can see four-tenths. With the glasses that have been fitted to her eyes she will be able to see better than many -persons who have always seen, but who have such affections as near-sightedness, etc.

She will be able to read, and even now she says she can almost thread a needle. Her eyes are new to her, so to speak, and as soon as she gets used to them she will use them much better. One peculiar thing that can be noticed about Miss Mc- Kiimie is the change in the expression of her face. It is well known that blind people have expressionless faces as a rule, partH'ularjy those blind from birth. It was so in Miss McKinnie's case.

Why should it be otherwise? What could she know of the or humors that produce the expressions in the faces of those of us who can see? She did not know what it was to laugh, but she does now, and so, little by little, each new thing that sees produces some new emotion that causes the hitherto impassive countenance to light up with all the varying emotions of other Express. Forced to Return. Seattle, Nov. a cargo of dying horses and mules and fifty-five empty stalls, the United States transport returned to port late last night, having been forced by an nu- precendented stress of weather off Cape Flattery to turn back from her voyage to the Philippines. Of the 410 horses and mules carried by the Victoria taken on board November 23, fifty-five were literally pounded to death against the sides of their stalls in the storm the remaining animals are so oadly bruised that the officials of the vessel believe that- many cannot be saved.

ThS Victoria, sailed for the Philippines November 23. As the straits were neared a high and dangerous sea was encountered and the ship pitched and rolled heavily, shipping seas fore and aft. The stress of weather increased as the Victoria advanced toward the open ocean. On the morning of November 24 the vessel was rounded jnst outsideMhe straits with her head to the wind. At 4 o'clock on the afternoon of that day she was tossing on the crest of the waves described in the log as mountain high and the strong gale blew thick with blinding mist.

The transport labored heavily during the night and early next morning steamed away to the west, but began to roll so dangerously that her (lead was again brought around to the wind. This day was a irepeti- tion of the preceding, with the addition of terrific sunalls. The rolling and pitching of the snip to have its effect upon the animals confined in their stalls. They' had been: pounded from side to side until they were, hi a state of utter exhaustion. Several died during the night and the next and constant attention seemed powerless to save them.

During the trip in "several more horses died, bringing the number of deaths up to bodies of the animals were weighted and thrown overboard as fast as death came. A Dancing Procession- A peculiar, but famous dancing'proces- sion annually takes place at Echternach. In Belgium, France and'Germany excursions are organized -to the little" Luxemburg town, whose church contains the remains of St. The pilgrims to Echternach execute in'i certain what is called the dance of the "leaping saints." It takes the'form of advancing three "step backward, ad- rnore steps, It is A Human walch faciory. The body of the average man contains phosphorus sufficient to make 483,840 matches, enoagh to fill about 6,000 boxes, allowing eighty matches to the box.

Phosphorus is one of fourteen elements entering into the composition of the body. It is divided among the boneaf, flesh, nervous system, and other organs. Without phosphorus the brain would be weak, the body feeble, and the bones would disintegrate, leaving man a squidgy invertebrate squirming in the dust. The perfect health of the human body requires a perfect balance of the constituent elements of which it is composed. The carbon, iron, lime, sulphur, sodium, must all be replaced as they are used up in human energy.

Take all the iron from the blood and the circulation stops. That's death. Change the proper proportion of these substances to each other, destroy their natural balance in the body, and you destroy the balance of health. Where do these essential elements of vital force come from 'From the food we eat. How are they extracted and distributed to the several organs they sustain They are extracted and distributed by the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition.

What happens when the stomach is "weak?" The food is only partly digested and assimilated. AncTfnen what? Then the balance of health is destroyed and there's blood "trouble," nerve "trouble," lung "trouble," heart "trouble or some other "trouble" with the vital organs of the body. Pain is the hunger cry of the starved organs. What then is the logical first step to health Put the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition into a condition of sound health. That is just what is done by Dr.

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and that is just the secret of the many marvelous cures effected by this remedy. No medicine can make fat or flesh. Food alone can make them. Only the stomach and its allied organs can extract from the food the elements that make flesh and fat and sustain life. "Nerve foods," "blood medicines, are mere fads and fallacies.

The nerves are fed, the blood is made by food, not by medicine. The stomach and organs, of digestion and nutrition prepare and distribute the food. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is not a cure-all. It does one thing.

It cures diseases of the stomach and digestion and nutrition. The rest Nature does. Nature feeds'the nerves, enriches the blood, heals the lungs and restores the failing vital powers. "Golden Medical Discovery only removes the obstructions disease has put in Nature's way. There is no alcohol in "Golden Medical Discovery" and it contains neither opium, cocaine nor any other narcotic.

UNTOLD AGONY. "It is with a glad heart that I write yon a testimonial such as few caif write the dear conscience that I do," says Miss Sallie Boggan, Rich (Rich Hill), Spartanbnrg S. C. "About nine years ago I was taken with what our best physicians called neuralgia and enlargement of the heart, dyspepsia and indigestion. I suffered untold agony in both mind and body, and at times my mind would become cloudy 'so that I would not care to see anybody.

I would sit down to the table to eat, and eat a few monthruls, but my stomach would not retain any kind of food, and I would have to leave the table. Last fall I spent about $25.00 with our doctor but grew worse all the time. At last, when I was about to give np in despair, a friend advised me to write to Dr. Pierce. I did so, and he advised me to take his Golden Medical Discovery' and I bought one bottle of each and also one vial of his and began using as directed.

V. Pierce, Buffalo, M. Y. 'VARSITY DRAMATICS. A Theater May be Built for the Use the Students at Madison.

Madison, seems likely that the university will have a theater building of its own, for the exclusive use at the students, in the near future. Frankenberger, the instructor of elocution, dramatic reading and oratory, is back of this proposition and will probably succeed in carrying it out. The new library building, when- it is completed and the books are moved into it, will leavfr Library hall vacant and will allow for a reconstruction of the interior to conform to the theater plan, the building of a new stage adapted to shifting scenery and for increasing the scat- ing capacity to about 1000. Here all of the dramatic, oratorical, debating and musical events are to take place, enabling a larger portion of the students to attend than has been possible on these occasions heretofore. The gymnasium, which is without a stage and very poorly adapted to public entertainments of any kind, except dancing, must now be resorted to tor any large gathering.

It being usually not to use the local opera house. All of the larger Eastern colleges have such theaters with fairly well equipped stages and there seems to be no reason why Wisconsin should not have' one. It would have a' tendency to encourage wort along the lines of public speaking and furnish better opportunity for public exhibitions: of a college character. Macbeth is to be given-by the students ot Prof. Frankenberger at the end of this semester, only those advanced in the study being eligible 'to taking part.

Prof. Frankenberger is probably one of the most popular members of the faculty, not because he is an and elocutionist, but because this branch of study meets with such universal favor naturally and can be carried on while school work is almost burdensome. "It is a curious thing," said Prof. referring torthe amateur dramatic work which is being carried on his supervision in the university, "how. everyone wants to be an actor.

I more to roalUe.every day how there TS in human-nature' a not thatlhereiis anything 7 T-. "we have to, keep suppressing the interest in this work, or it would get away With some of the students.

"Every now and then students come to me and urge that they be permitted to give a performance at the Opera house, never thinking that the public gets tired of patronizing them. Of that cannot be permitted, or the university would be opened to too much criticism.

This, is not a school of acting. The work, carried on within its present scope. I consider of the highest importance. It gives the students-a degree of. self-possession on his feet and a knowledge of the stage that is bound always to be a great delight and benefit to him; but it must be held subordinate to the general educational advantages which are received here." There is plenty of good material to make dramatic work' a special department.

like the school of music, if it were desirable to do that This work is carried on in the East by amateur dramatic clnbs of various descriptions. It ia carried out gn a large scale and quite as extensively as the debating and oratorical work hi the Wisconsin university and occupies about the same position of relative importance. Debating and oratory have fallen from favor in the Eastern schools against the wishes of the faculties, and everything is being dpne to revive the old interest in that branch of independent study, without much success. Here in Wisconsin debating and oratory continue to hold first rank and highest favor, both among- students and pjpfes- sors and'the Wisconsin university stands clearly hi the foreground of all colleges in this respect. Her reputation for this has spread.among college men the country over.

There are 300 students in the debating' societies and there would be mor" of'there: were more clnbs to accommodate them. Dramatic work, on the other hand, has had a damper oh it all along.
