ROUSS MAY YET SEE. PHYSICIAN FROM INDIA CLAIMS TO CURE THE BLIND. Charlei Broadway Boom, New York** Sightless Millionaire, Can Discern a Man’s Band—A Colorless Liquid Is Ap ■ plied to the Eyes. From faraway India a man has come to practice an ancient medical art upon New York’s blind millionaire, Charles f Broadway Rouss. He is Dr. Guelph Norman of Burma. Dr. Norman’s proposal to restore the blind to sight was treated with disdain by the regular medical fraternity, but if the patient himself is to be believed a wonder has already been worked. Mr. Rouss says he can see a little bit. The eastern visitor announced recent ly that within 15 minutes he would cause Mr. Rouss to see an object placed et a distance of six inches from the pa tient’s eyes. He kept his word apparent t ly, for when a hand was held in front of Mr. Rouss’ nose he said he could see a white object there, but could not tell wha t it was. Dr. Norman said the other day that when he had finished his morning’* 7 work Mr. Rouss would be able to see at a distance of 16 inches. When the ex periment was made, it was found that Mr. Rouss could see a hand’ move and could faintly distinguish the fingers at a distance of 14 inches and could see the hand outlined at 16 inches. Dr. Norman has announced that he is not seeking money, but has a higher and nobler motive in coming over the sea to try his skill. He asked no guar antee, and when Mr. Rouss wrote him that if he came from India it would bo at his own risk he was nothing daunted. When he reached London and it be came apparent that he was really se rious in making the trip, he was ad vised that he would not be allowed to experiment on Mr. Rouss at once, but must first prove the efficacy of his treat ment by curing James Martin, an in violate rule having been made that the substitute must stand between the wealthy merchant and the horde of ♦ would be sight restorers that assailed him. The Indian doctor replied that on no account would he first attend the sub , stitute, but must be allowed to take up Mr. Rouss’ case at once. He did not wait for an answer to this ultimatum, but sailed for New York, where he ar rived a few weeks ago on the Germanic. At the end of a week he was visited by A. J. Smith, the confidential secre tary of the blind man. The doctor then had an interview with Mr. Rouss and was able to gain his point, agreeing to treat the substitute at the same time. The treatment to which Mr. Rouss is now being subjected is of the simplest nature, so far as a layman can see, but, according to Dr. Norman, who admits its simplicity, it has behind it a med ical system as old almost as civilization and one that is derived from the Vedas, the books of sacred and heroic writings embracing the ancient philosophy of the Aryans. i No medicine at all is given internally. One consideration, not at variance with modern medical science, is that the highest of sanitary conditions shall be observed. Dieting, too, along the ordi nary lines is also a part of the treat- * ment. The pouring into the eyes once daily of a colorless liquid brought from India and the massaging of the eyelids and f temples for ten minutes once a day by the doctor himself, and once afterward by any one else, completes the treatment that Dr. Norman has come so far to give. It was its great simplicity and the physician’s quiet eloquence that per suaded Mr. Rouss, grown skeptical through many disappointments, to place himself so completely in a stranger’s hands. Dr. Norman is an Englishman about 40 years old and has spent 24 years in India. He is tall and very slender and has the student’s stoop. His thin face is clean shaven, except for a slight mus tache, and he has a quiet and easy man ner. He ascribes what he says he can accomplish to natural causes and not to any marvelous or supernatural powers. Dr. Norman was not educated in medicine according to the western idea. He belongs to an oriental school which practices what it calls the science of life and which he explains as being merely the, common sen.se method of Best is Cheapest.

I shall also cure Mr. Rouss’ substitute, provided 1 can have complete control of him. His is a more stubborn case than that of Mr. Rouss, but with proper conditions 1 can cure him within six weeks. ” Dr. Norman said that the colorless liquid he applied to Mr. Rouss’ eyes is a very simple preparation chemically, and its mission is merely to stimulate the dormant elements of the eye. The massage is also a stimulating measure, made more effective by reason of a cer tain mesmeric or hypnotic influence he is able to exert. Dr. Norman visits Mr. Rouss each morning and administers the treatment in the merchant’s private office. He does not give more than 20 minutes a day to his patient, committing the after massage to Secretary Smith. —New York World. A Household Remedy.

Travelers whom every day brings back from the continent say that this season, more than ever, gives plentiful example of the Freemasonry which ex ists among continental hotel employees. Usually on board the boats from Calais, Boulogne and Ostend notes are compared by tourists who have covered the same ground and followed the same itinerary. The results are significant of “eye open ing. ” Some such colloquy as the fol lowing is often overheard: “My box and two portmanteaus were smashed fearfully by that villain of a porter at the Hotel des Bains, Villavilla, and my wife and 1 could get no attend ance. ” “That is curious, for we were treated by all the servants most beautifully. May I ask you a question? Did you tip the servants properly at the previous place, Hotel de Luxe, Lucerne?” “No; I confess it was an oversight, but what has that to do with the Villa villa hotel?” * ‘ Everything. Look at the hotel labels on your luggage. All on lower right hand corner. That implies that you are mean and illiberal. Now look at mine. All the labels in the upper left hand corner. That signifies liberality—treat this person well—encourage him—your politeness will be rewarded. My friend’s bag here has a label stuck right in the middle, and that means, ‘ A good fellow —will tip, but very exacting—not easi ly pleased. ’ ” —London Mail. J. C.

A physi cian made affidavit that the testator was struck with death when he signed the will. Webster subjected his testimony to a most thorough examination, show ing by quoting medical authorities that doctors disagree as to the precise mo ment when a dying man is struck with death, some affirming that it is at the commencement of the disease, others at its climax pad others still affirm that we begin to die as soon as we are bom. “I should like to know,” said the op posing counsel, "what doctor maintains that theory?” “Dr. Watts," said Mr. Webster, with great dignity. “The moment we begin to live we all begin to die. ” “That man Davis is clearly not fit to be a father. ” “Why?” “His child is a week and a half old, and he hasn’t expressed the belief that it recognizes him. ” —Chicago News.

THE ROME TRIBUNE SUNDAY, OCl’O<<KK 24, IW7 FORMER DUELS. Some of the Vernons Affislrs of Honor of the Past. General Benedict Arnold fought a duel near Kilburn Wells in 1781 with Lord Lauderdale, who, after Arnold missed him. refused either to Are or to apologize, saying that if the general was not satisfied ho could keep on firing until he was. In 1804 the turbulent Lord Camelford, the symmetrical ar rangement of whose whips and sticks over his chimneypiece is described by Byron, “From the thick bludgeon to the taper switch, ” lost his life in a duel he owed to a vengeance de femme Captain Best had caught a sharper named Symonds in the act of cheating and kicked his face to a pulp. The man’s wife wrote Camelford an anony mous letter to tell him his friend Best had slandered him. A duel was fought with pistols (they were the two best shots in England), and Camelford fell with a mortal wound. “You have killed me, Best,” said the dying man, “but the fault is wholly mine. I relieve you of all the blame.” But men of mature years and established reputation risked life as recklessly as the wildest young guardsmen or London rakes. Charles James Fox fought a duel with a cabinet minister, Mr. Adam, in 1779. Four shots were exchanged. Adam missed. Fox fired in the air and apolo gized. “Sir,” said Adam, “you have behaved like a man of honor. ” In India, toward the end of the last century, a duel was fought between Warren Hast ings and Sir Philip Francis, the latter being dangerously wounded. Shortly afterward, in Bombay, Lord Macartney and Mr. Sadler quarreled at the council board, and in the duel Macartney re ceived a dangerous wound. The Earl of Talbot and John Wilkes, fighting a duel at night in the garden of the Red Lion inn, at Bagshot, and discussing the conditions of it beforehand in a private room over a chop, is a tableau de moeurs. George Canning was seriously wound ed when he and Castlereagh niet at Put ney in 1807 to exchange four shots. In the duel between Henry Grattan and Mr. Corry a bullet shattered the latter’s arm. As late as 1835 Mr. Roebuck fought a duel with Mr. Black of The Morning Chronicle, when two shots were exchanged without result. The fighting parson was then as well known as the fighting editor. The Rev. Henry Bate, editor of The Morning Post, was both. A dead shot, and with what his contemporaries call “a profligate tongue, ’ ’ he was most successful as a duelist. He "pinked” “Fighting Fitz gerald,” a Mr. Temple, a young barris ter who was his assistant editor, and several others, but met his match at last in Captain Stoney Robinson, who gave him a severe wound, but whom he also wounded.—CornhiU Magazine.

Locomotives, like human beings, have their ailments, many of which defy the skill of those deputed to look after them, says the Toronto Mail. We hear of tired razors, ,a simple complaint which vanishes after a brief period of repose, but locomotives are apt to be tray indisposition even after a day’s rest and much oiling of the various parts. Two good engines may be made on the most approved principle. They may each cost —as those of the London and Northwestern railway d0—£2,200, and yet one will exhibit from the first a hardihood of constitution altogether wanting in its companion. A first class locomotive of 300 horsepower, costing £2,000, is expected to travel during its life 200,000 miles, or, say, 13,000 miles per annum for 15 years, yet now and then an engine is found so impervious to the assaults of time as to be able in its old age to do its daily work with all the zest and vigor of a youngster. Disfigurement for life by burns or scalds may be avoided by using De- Witt’s Witcb Hazel Salve, the great remedy for piles and for all kinds of sores and skin troubles.

Old John Ward, who was pilloried by Pope in the "Dunciad, ” and who actually stood in the pillory in the year 1727, when he was said to have been worth £200,000, was, nevertheless, a pious man. He had large estates in London and Essex and did not omit to pray for their welfare in the following manner: “O Lord, I beseech thee to preserve the two counties of Middlesex and Essex from fire and earthquake, and as I have a mortgage in Hertford shire I beg of thee likewise to have an eye of compassion on that county, and for the rest of the counties deal with them as thou pleasestl”—Household Words.
