INDIAN LANDS.
Part of Uta Reservation to Be
Opened to Settlement
Long Delay Rcaulta from a Grave
Error la Fixing the One Hundred
and Seventh Meridian of Longi-
tude—To De Rectified.
The alloted. lands of the eastern end
of the Southern Ute Indian reservation
in southwest Colorado probably will be
opened to settlement this summer by
presidential proclamation. Though the
allotments have been completed the
question of opening has been deferred
for a long time owing to what seems to
be conceded to be a grave error in fix-
ing the 107th meridian of longitude.
Secretary Bliss has now taken action
and has decided the director of the
geological survey to determine by as-
tronomical observation as soon as the
season permits the correct location of
the meridian. This work will not re-
quire much time and though the date
has not yet been considered it is prob-
abletheopeningwill be fixed upon imme-
diately after the submission of the di-
rector’s report. It is claimed and be-
lieved by the authorities that the
meridian is about five miles too far west
and the variance of lines involves about
48000 acres which may inure to the
benefit of the Indians. The meridian
probably will be established late in May
BLINDED BY ELECTRIC LIGHT
Florida Man Lone* Hi Slabt from n
Peculiar Cau*e.
Dr. Calhoun of Ga will soon
be called upon to treat one of The
strangest cases of blindness which have
ever been reported. The story comes
from Clearwater Fla. J. L. Nash who
runs the electric light plant at a little
station called Bellair was attending to
business as usual when suddenly his
eyes closed up and he has not been able
to see a Tay of light since.
The case puzzled the local doctors
and they were utterly unable to ac-
count for the remarkable stroke. Noth-
ing could be done to relieve the blind
man so it was decided that he should
be brought to Atlanta that he might
receive the best treatment possible in
the hope that his sight might eventual-
ly be restored. The only explanation
for the blindness is that it was caused
by a constant strain on the optic nerve
due to the glaring lights in the electric
establishment.
A like case has never been recorded
In the history of eye diseases and the
outcome of its treatment will be
watched with more than the usual in-
terest. The stricken man belongs to
one of the best known families in Flori-
da. He is a brother to Mrs. J. R. Torres
of Tampa.
WAS A NARROW ESCAPE.
Prexident of Senate Jn«t Missed Be-
ing kilt with nn Inkstand.
A veteran correspondent was toying
innocently the other day in the senate
press gallery with an empty inkstand
says the Washington Post lie twirled the
glass cover round and round while Sen-
ator Morgan talked and talked of the
Nicaragua canal bill and the awful
things threatened by Great Britain.
The correspondent pulled' the ink-
stand out of its place and twirled the
cover again. Senator Morgan’s elo-
quent period drew his attention and the
inkstand was forgotten. It hung in
his limp fingers and then there was a
resounding thud on the senate floor as
an object sped by the head of the sena-
tor who was presiding over the august
body.
Senator Morgan paused in the midst
of his eloquent period and the attention
of the august body was diverted to the
fleeing form of the correspondent He
and another who sat beside him disap-
peared through the gallery doors. They
were seen no more that afternoon at
the capitol. An officer from the ser-
geant-at-arms’ office is looking for
them. Now the inkstands will be
clamped down.
PUZZLES THE PHYSICIANS.
Barnabas Blaise Awake* from a
Trance with Recovered Health.
Barnabas Blaise a Frenchman for-
merly baker for the St Nicholas hotel
at Cincinnati 0. has been in. a queer
trance. He was pronounced dead the
other morning and the physicians had
arranged for a post-mortem. The un-
dertaker was in charge of the body
while his wife and three children were
in deep distress. Two years ago Blaise
was covered with boils he lost hissighx
and was then very low with dropsy.
He was operated upon several times.
The day of his seeming death he was
in convulsions but before the physician
arrived he became cold and quiet. Phy-
sicians pronounced him dead and the
arrangements were made for the post-
mortem and the funeral. Just before
the post-mortem Blaise got up. He re-
members nothingabout his convulsions.
His dropsy is gone and he had a very
unnatural appetite. The physicians say
be cannot live long.
Paper Collar*.
Paper collars are now almost gone
out of use owing to the cheapness of
the linen article and the convenience
and excellence of the work done by the
laundry. They were made of a basis
of linen with a film of paper celluloid
snread over its surface.

ROLL EGGS IN WHITE LOT GRASS
President and Mr*. McKinley Watch
the Waahlngton Tot*.
President and Mrs. McKinley have
won the heart® of all the women and
children in thfe national capital. No one
who has observed from the beginning
the annual Easter egg rolling on the
white house grounds has ever seen such
a crowd of children there as was assem-
bled this year. It is said that at three
o'clock in the afternoon the number
reached 15000. Each street car that
passed in the neighborhood of the man-
sion was loaded with them and when
the cars stopped to let them off the little
fellows crowded the tracks like sheep.
Mrs. McKinley honored the little chil-
dren by taking a chair near a window of
the white house where she could see all
of them. She had been driving in the
morning but about 11 o'clock took this
position with Mrs. Sexton. of£)eveland
one of her guests. They watched the
vhildreu for an hour or more and when
the president himself joined them there
was a greet demonstration outside. The
big children shouted but the babies
contented themselves by staring with
eyes wide open when the president was
pointed out to‘them.
About three o'clock the Marine bdnd
under the leadership of Prof. Fonciulli
took a position on a stand. The chil-
dren immediately left their eggs and
•baskets and crowded around the stand
so that a perfect sea of little faces
looked up at the leader ns he gave the
signal for the first outburst of music.
It was at this moment that a pho-
tographer trained his camera on the
crowd from a window in the white
house. Ths sky by this time had become
overcast and it is not known whether he
got a gewd picture or not but if he did
it will be worth seeing and keeping.
In the whole day there was just one
accident. A tot of about four summers
ate too many eggs and had to be taken
to the emergency hospital to have them
pumped out.
TO WALK ON THE WATER.
Cook 91111 Attempt to Go From
Pittabwh to Cincinnati.
Bob Cook of Boston who was born
in Americus Ga. doesn’t claim to be
amphibious but he will walk on the
'water from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati.
The distance is about 400 mile® and a
• little hilly in spots so some people say.
• A wager off $lOOO has been made that
' he can’t -aocomplish this feat in 15 days.
1 Cook was in New York city the other
day on his way t® New Orleans where
he will go into training on the surface
of Lak®
The shoes he wears arc the real water
shoes four feet long six inches wide
j and six inches deep invented by him-
self. There are fins on either side of
them anti there are fins on the bottom.
When betakes a step forward with one
foot the finsclose when he makes a step
w ith the other foot the fins on the shoe
remaining still are opened and form
resistance to the water preventing him
from Slipping ’backward. Cook will be
followed down the Ohio by a launch
and a press boot. He says he will win.
FIGHT'ON MARRIED TEACHERS.
Yovnai "Women of BeTle-ville Kan.
Want Ponltion* in School*.
The unmarriedl school teachers of the
town of Belleville Kan. have declared
war on rthree married wnmeu who are
employed as teachers. The schools em-
ploy two men and seven women. A
dozen young women who are cutoff posi-
tions claim the places of the three mar-
ried women on the ground that they
have husbands who ought to support
them. The young women have enlisted
the sympathies and active support of
rtie young men of the town and the
three married teachers are depending
upon the -political influence their hus-
bands have in the community. These
men argue that their wives have en-
joyed the lucrative places for a number
of years arid that to deprive their fam-
ilies of this income would disturb their
domestic finances. The two men teach-
ers are taking no part in the fight as the
young women threaten that if they
should take part the women would un-
derbid them and get their places.
BREAKS LINOTYPE RECORD.
M. M. Baker of Seattle Set* 85872
Hm* In Elailit Hour*.
M. M. Baker a linotype operator in
■the office of the Post-Intelligencer at
Seattle Wash. has made a new world's
record for eight hours’ machine com-
position setting in that time 85872 ems
of solid nonpareil.
The feat was performed during ordi-
nary working hours in composition on
a book now under publication in. the
office frtim manuscript copy and with
no preliminary preparations. Baker
who is an extraordinarily rapid oper-
ator simply made the announcement
that he would break the record and ।
asked that a man be detailed to time him
and others to measure his string. He
started at the usual hour of composi-
tion took an hour for lunch and made
the record above in eight hours' actual
work. The lowest for any single hour
was 10050 ems the drop being due to
technical terms.
Baker learned to operate machines in
Seattle.

public knowledge that DeWitt’s Witch
