A fall from the platform of a trolley car, necessitating treatment ul the Samaritan hospital, may be the means of rcetorinR the vense of hearlm of which Charles Miller, a machinist, of North Seventeenth street, has been deprived for twenty-five years. .Miller, who la fifty-two years old, haa been deaf since boyhood, and for a number of years lias been an almost constant sufferer from earache and dull pains in his head. Last week Miller foil from a trolley car as he was homeward bound from tbo Italdwin locomotive works and his faco was severely lacerated. 'VVhilo Ix-lnc patched up ho told the doctors of his earache and recalled the fact that when he wus about six years old u fly or bug of botno kind hud gotten into his ear. As an experiment Hr. lllons made a careful examination and found restliiR on the ear drum and embedded In the membrane what was probably tho remains of some sort of n Insect. . With a probe he removed the object and the patient declared Its removal gave him Instant relief from the pain be had so long endured. It Is thought that possibly tho simple operation juay restore tho man's hearing, at Jcast partially.
The Sob Story
Every senator was In his seat a quarter of the membership of the house of representatives, the galleries full even the gallery reserved for the ambassadors of foreign powers was filled with the members of the diplomatic corps the galleries for those with tickets (bitterly contested for) were crowded to overflowing and before the doors, opened for ventilation stood throngs of people. The scene was rendered all the more spectacular in that it was Washington's birthday and It was that same day on the floor of the senate that Young of Iowa read the farewell speech of Washington to the people of the young republic of the west. Thus it was that William Lorimer 6poke In his own defense. But the defense did not defend, it was an evasion in the main and so It Is not a dissection of the evidence, but of another matter which concerns the Americans of today. It Is a matter more vital even than the effect of a United States senate which no longer pretends to represent the people of the United States because It is fundamentally the question of the honor of American manhood on which the ultimate end of America depends.
In the language of newspaper men this is a "sob story." That is to say it depends on the vital "human interest." A recognition of the fact that all men are very like and there is some bond, some essential hold that one man's experience has on another. It is in this case the struggle of a ioor boy and everyone has real kindness in his heart for the poor boy for all boys and their struggle. And so in its rHsence Lorimcr's defense became an appeal, a grandstand play on the fundamental and good feeling that honors a decent, honorable and respectable rise from poverty against odds to places of trust and esteem. H're is part of Lrimers "sob story" of McKenna: "When I was a boy starting out. in the world the first start I made was selling newspapers. I went over to The Tribune building one day and down into the basement and bought fifty Tribunes. As I came up out of the basiMnent a crowd of boys surrounded me. Some held me by the hands and others by tho thro:it and pulled my papers out from under my arms and then let me go, and they disappeared. I was standing there brooding not only over the dollar that I might have made out of the sale of the newspapers, but the dollar and a half that I had paid for them. "Another boy came along with an armful of papers and said to me, 'What la the matter, why are you so downcast?' and I told him the story, and he looked at me for a moment, and handed his papers over to me nnd said 'Stand back there in the doorway; btay there until I come back.' "lie went uway and in about five minutes he returned and he had my headings in his hand and he said 'Here arc your papers; I will see to it that they don't take them away from you again.' I went off and out. of that little Incident grew such friendship that almost every week I helped him." Mr. Lorimer Is in the United States senate. His affecting pica gives out the Idea that he and his friendship so touchingly narrated for Alderman McKenna of Chlcaco are of the tyic which are to be inspirations to all boys of America particularly those who struggle against early hardship and privation. The story of Lincoln appeals In the same fashion in which Lorimer evidently Intended this to be taken by the American people. Hut who now in actual fact is Lorimer and who Is his friend McKenna?
McKenna Is a rich man. Hvery man in Chicago knows Hinky Dink and his saloon. It has only been a matter of a year or so since the annual First Ward Hall of Hinky Dink was suppressed. On the face of it It was merely a congregation of nil the loose women of Chicago with Jhelr masters, owners and attending spirits, agents and cadets. But it had a more subtle meaning. It was the actual means by which protection wag paid for by the powers that traffic in human souls and bodies. Tho man or woman who attended the dance was there to pay tribute to the despot who In American parlance is called a 'boss' even as absolute thievery Is now excused under the more common name of graft. The privilege then of shame 4ind the fortunes made of human degradation were In fact farmed out at this carnival the festival of carnality and crime. And this, with the Tammany halls of America is the fundamental on which rests all the superstructure reared the beast of the American jungle. Lust, lechery and prostitution are much the same human frailties the world over but In America they have been capitalized and commercialized Into a prostitution which now extends from the prostitution and debauchery of titles to the United States senate. This then Is the defense of Lorimer; that as a part of his election to the United States senate he had so perfect and intimate an acquaintance wilh Hinky Dink McKenna, the boss of the most admittedly corrupt ward of a city that he owes his election to the efforts of a man who hits grown rich by the shame of girls nnd the degradation of men taking toll of human frailty and capitalizing it still further as a means of iower. And Lorimer's defense then becomes an admission that the greatest financial corruption and debauchery of a whole nation becomes directly dependent on and traceable to the boss rule of cities. It is not the weakness of human nature nor in any puritanical sense that we mean this it is not the warfare between Exeter Hall and Leices- ' ter Square the merely fundamental weaknesses of human nature and human economics and human morals but the structure which has been built out of It for the enslavement of millions of human beings however weak or strong or industrious or lazy or virtuous or loose they may be the direct stealing of food, and clothing and wages from a whole nation through the fastening on of Special Privilege.
For Immediately after the Lorimer vote, Edward Hines of Chicago received the felicitations of his friends. Why Hines? What has the representative of the lumber trust tho Weyerhauser interests to do with Lorimer? The last words of La Follette which were cut out of his .mouth by tho fall of the presiding officer's gavel were "Wall Street." What had Wall Street to do with the recital of the story of Hinky Dink? The answer is Lorimer Lorimer, the Blonde Boss of the Stockyards the representative not of the American people of Illinois but of the Meat Trust and the Lumber trust Lorimer the friend of Hinky Dink and Lorimer the connecting link between local and national prostitution. Chicago and Washington America. Is this too sordid and pessimistic a story? What hope Is there in these conditions for the salvation of the young republic which Washington launched and bade farewell to with such affecting words? Is the boy the young man the "ioor boy" to accept the Lorimer and Hinky Dink ideal of "getting away with it" of saying that if ho sells himself he may have a bought seat?
Today, this March 4, a United States senator retires whose seat may be said to be filled by the Lorimer so recently elevated. He too was a joor boy. The struggles of William Lorimer were not greater than those of Albert Beveridge who retires today from the senate. His life has always been a struggle harder because he chose the hard things the honest, decent and patriotic thing. With practically every other man who leaves the senate today voting for Lorimer Beveridge stood out not only against him but the very man who forced the money government from an intangible and indcinable essence into a substance which can be seen in the light of day. This was the crowning bravery of fighting when another would have done tho easier thing of sulking. Bulkeley, Burrows, Carter, Depew, Dick, Hale. Kcan, Piles. Scott retire in confusion repudiated. But that is not the story of Beveridge. It haa become a personal issue then to every man in tho country. If the majority of men are willing to try to "get by" who knows? They may rot in Hinky Dink's hobo pens or sit in a Lorimer bought seat in the senate. The rise from poverty is not easy now except by means which mean moral enslavement but the ultimate freedom of a nation may be accomplished if the young men of America will keep up the fight on the corruption of their wards and precincts, their cities, their states, and themselves.

Eberhart set the date for the hanging of Martin O'Malley, an aged veteran, convicted of poisoning his two step-children, the Governor has steadfastly refused to comply. He is awaiting action by the legislature on the anti-capitol punishment bill, which already, partly through the efforts of the state executive, has been passed by the house. Gov. Eberhart does not believe in hanging, even as punishment for murder in the first degree. He is now bending every effort to have the senate pass the McKenzie bill to abolish the death penalty. He will then sign the measure and will have O'Malley committed to the state penitentiary for life. A SAMPLE OF PURE GRIT. Everyone admires grit. But when you find it in your underwear, the chances are that your washwoman has used laundry soap that has been dosed with rosin. Rosin is not a soap element it merely adds weight. During; the soaking it sinks into the fibre of i the washables and acts as a binder for' the particles of dirt which ought to be : and are removed when Hewitt's Easy Task soap is used. I Just try Hewitt's Easy Task made' of soap elements only and costs no more than the adulterated kinds. Five cents. TO TEACH CHINESE GERMAN LANGUAGE eBrlin, March 4. German traders In China, as well as a large number of manufacturers and merchants here, have been so impressed by tho seeming monopoly in the education of Chinese possessed by Great Britain and the United States that they have started a movement which will give Germany also a share in that education, and ultimately secure a bigger portion of the Chinese trade for the fatherland. With this end in view, an agreement has been made among manufacturers and others in Germany to raise about one-half million dollars for the establishment of a school of German engineering, a sort of polytehcnic, where German instructors will impart information to Chinese pupils in the various branches of technical knowledge. The scheme has been approved by the minister of foreign affairs and the minister of marine. The Mexican government has been asked by chemists of that country to establish a national school of chemistry and pharmacy.

Your eyes are the most important
organs you have. They are the most used. When you sit down your heart slows up. Your stomach gets some rest between meals. Your liver works in a quiet way. It is not crowded to its limit all the time. But whenever your eyes are open they are working at top speed. They are working hard all the time. You require a great deal from them. Your grandparents did not use their eyes as much as you do. You read more in a day than people did in a month twenty years ago. You take a daily newspaper, weekly and monthly periodicals, and read them all. Your grandparents had few or none of these. School life now puts an excessive demand on the children's eyes. They are taught more things. They have more to read. Their whole school life demands increased eyeuse. Such excessive demands on the eyes have directly developed many defects. Have indirectly caused many ills. And however much you may desire to slacken the pace you must use your eyes more and more in order to keep up in the race. Yet you, or. no other person, ever had such perfect eyes that, they would stand constant use by arti ficial light w ithout developing some defect. Some defect that needs correction. Some defect that may later lead to serious disorders. Eye troubles do not always exhibit themselves in local troubles. The nervous connections of the eyes are complicated and peculiar. Headaches develop from defective eyes. Probably half of all head aches may be traced to this source But you can usually easily detect and trace the cause of such trou bles. But in other cases the reflex nerv ous troubles manifest themselves In the stomach. Many people have taken medicine from Doctors with out benefit only to have the troubles disappear when the eye strain was removed by properly fitted glasses. I have practised medicine and cured many kinds of diseases in this locality. I have specialized on the diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat. Have performed many operations on these organs. I have always worked and studied that I might re lieve human suffering. AND NOW I WANT TO SAY TO YOU THAT I BELIEVE I HAVE RE LIEVED MORE ILLS BY THE RIGHT PRESCRIB ING OF GLASSES THAN IN ANY OTHER WAY. While in the hospitals of tho old country, especially in Germany, I was constantly reminded of the in creasing use of glasses. It seemed like every man, woman and child in Germany wore glasses. The Ger man printed type is so trying on the eyes that this is necessary. People In this country are coming more and more to the wearing of glasses. And yet probably no more than half the people who really need glasses wear them now. Records show, however, that oper ations for cataract of the eye are decreasing. Wearing glasses has taken the strain from the eyes and so removed the principal cause of cataract blindness. And now you can see how it Is that I can specialize In my larger specialty with the feeling that by so doing I can relieve more suffer ing. You can see why I feel justi fied In offering you my services as an expert scientific refractionist I USE NO DRUGS IN EXAMINING THE EYES FOR GLASSES. Drujrs are entirely contrary to na ture. If nature had intend ed a drug to enable you to see, sne wouia nave pro a vided this drug. I examine the eyes by nature's own method and obtaTn results that are far superior to the unnatural drug method of examination. I use no cheap lenses. Nothing but the best crystals, ground by the best workmen, for each individual case. My frames and nose glass mount ings are of the very best materials and workmanship and I fully and absolutely guarantee every pair of glasses going out of my office to be of the highest grade through out. I know the make-up of the eyes. I know the diseases , that afflict them. I can trace the nervous dis orders that the diseases may ere ate In other parts of the body. I am able not only to fit your glasses but to diagnose your trouble and determine the real condition of your eyes. And because I think I can help your eyes I feel that I am justified In thus asking for your work. I am, Very respectfully," E. B. GROSVENOR, M. D. Oculist Over 713 Main Street Richmond, Indiana
