A Surgeon's Mistake Which Left the Patient in Total Blindness. “A few years ago,” sald Charles J, Pat- terson of Philadelphia to a New York Re- corder man, “I learned the secret of the life of a man who had pasred more than a quarter of a century with scarcely a smile. on one eceasion had to remove an injured eye in order to save the other eye and pre- vent total blindness. The night before the operation he had been drinking heavily with some friends, and, although the fol- lowing morning he was sober, his hand was unsteady and his nerves unstrung. After administering chloroform he made a fatal and horrible blunder, removing the well eye by misteke, and thus consigning his pa- | tient to perpetual blindness. The moment he discovered his error he tuned the man over to a competent surgeon, deeded every- thing he possessed to him, and hurried from the neighborhood like a convicted thief. The remainder of his life was one constant round of remorse, and he rapidly developed into a confirmed misanthrope. The secret of his life was known to a num- ber of people, but when it was finally re- vealed to me it explained a mystery and made me respect the man, for, however grave was his original blunder, which in some respects was, of course, worse than a crime, his repentamee was of the most genuine character.” He had ten a physician and surgeon, and | EMMETS’ RECEPTION Gallant Soldier Boys Cheered by Their Friends. STIRRING SPEECHES OF WELCOME Colonel Clay's High Praise for the Irish Lads. THE OTHER SPEECHES It was unquestionably Emmet Guard night last evening. The victors in the inter- state maiden infantry drill and the individ- ual drill of the recent competition held at Little Rock, Ark., the pride of the second regiment and more especially of the fourth battalion of the District of Columbia Na- tional Guard, were tendered a reception of greater magnitude, probably, than any pre- vious affair of a similar nature in which the Emmets have participated during their ex- istence of ten yeurs. The Young Men's Catholic Club, of which a number of Em- mets are members, in conjunction with the young ladies of St. Aloysius parish, took this means to welcome Capt. Walsh and his men home and to show a proper apprecia- tion of the successful efforts of the soldier lads. The Emmet Guard drill team, attired in white duck trousers end National Guard blouses, assembled at the Center Market armory shortly before 8 o'clock. Each man wore the company badge of green and gold and also a-white ribbon streamer from Lis left shoulder, denoting first prize in the maiden drill. The march was then taken by way of Pennsylvania avenue, 6th street, C street and 3d street to Gonzaga Hall, on I street between North Capitol and ist streets northwest. As the soldiers filed into the edifice they were loudly applauded by thousands who had gathered there and about the grounds, it being impossible for all who desired to do so to gain entrance. Of the many assembled, pretty girls pre- dominated. The large hall was appropriately and artistically decorated with American and Irish flags. As soon as the Emmets had taken pos- session of the chairs reserved for them in the front of the hall Father Gillespie, pres- ident of Gonzaga College; Representative J. P. Dunn of New Jersey, Gen. James D. Brady of Virginia, President F. A. Van Reuth of the Young Men's Catholic Dr. J. A. Budd, president of the Catholic Knights of America; Gen. Beirne of New York city and Father Scanion took seats upon the platform. Then -the St. Aloysius Choral Society of seventeen members, under the leadership of Prof. Al.Neff, sang “Home Again.” At the conclusion of the selection President Van Reuth arose and stated that it afforded him great pleasure to address an audience on such an occasion in honor of the Emmet Guard. The activity and en- ergy displayed by the Irish-American sol- diers, he said, was worthy of emulation, and the success attained by First Sergeant McAnnally, a charter member of the Young Men’s Catholic Club, in earning the title of best drilled man in the United States struck a sympathetic chord in the heart of every member of the club. “We hope next year to welcome you back from Indianapolis as champions of the United States,” said Mr. Van Reuth, in conclusion. “If the Emmets are ever called upon to defend their country we all know that they will be seen in the front ranks.”” 4 Officers Welcomed. After “Come Back to |Erin” had been rendered by the Choral Society Dr. Mudd Was introduced and remarked that he hadn't thought much of soldiery of late, for after 1865 he was sure that he pos- sessed sufficient military glory to last a century. Dr. Mudd was dwelling on the character and duty of a soldier when he was interrupted by an enthusiastic burst the hall, in uniform, of Col. Cecil Clay, Lieut. Col. M. Emmett Urell, Adjutant William H. Moyer, Quartermaster Par- menter and Inspector of Rifle Practice James Bell, all of the second regiment, D. C. N. G.; Major Campbell, Adjutant Ed- ward H. Allen, Quartermaster Gingsley and Color Sergeant Dixon of the fourth battalion, and Lieut. Samuel H. Jacobson, | unattached. Together with Captain Walsh the officers were escorted to seats on the platform. A boys’ chorus sang “Let Erin Remem- j ber.” and that was followed by Charles J. Mullally, who addressed the Emmets elo- quently in behalf of the Gonzaga College Cadets. “Earnest were our wishes and fer- vent our prayers for your success at Little Rock,” said the young orator. “Telegrams told us that of the colors on the drill field mone shown brighter than the green and gold; no company created more enthusiasm than the Emmet Guard and no captain re- ceived more plause than our beloved Captain Walsh. We welcome you most heartily to Gonzaga Hall tonight.” These Were Soldiers. When the applause had subsided Frank Mack, a very small boy with a very good voice, sang “The Minstrel Boy” in cos- tume. “We have here a real soldier who ascended the heights of Fredericksburg dur- ing the war and who did not stop until struck by five bullets,” Father Gillespie then said. “He is an Irishman and is proud of it. We are told that one-third of Wash- ington’s army was Irish; that Irishmen were in the majority of those who crossed the Delaware, and that they were in the majority at all the great victories. I now introduce to you Gen. Brady of Virginia.” Gen. Brady stated that he was a soldier in the Army of the Potomac, the grandest arm; of modern times. the one that had fought more battles and lost more men than ery other. He referred to Robert Em- met, stating that no name in history was more honored or more honora*ie than that of En met, and then gave ea biographical sketch of the man referred to. The general closed by declaring that there should be but one flag in this country, and that the star spargled banner. Representative J. T. Dunn foltowed, and in his interesting ad- dress discoursed particularly on the fact that ro man owes so much to this country as the Irishman—he should feel that he’ has a home in this country, and gets more from it than any other. Gen. Beirne of the thir- ty-severth New York Irish regiment, who, Father Gillespie said, had fought until car- ried cff the field of battle woundel and bleeding, was called upon, and made a few apprepriate remarks, during which he ex- pressed the hope that the-immets will win far greater laurels in the future than in the past. Col, Clay's Reception. The applause was deafening when the presiding officer called Col. Ciay to the | front. The head of the second regiment re- marked that one thing ad dawned upon him during the evening—he should have been born an Irishman. The colonel re- lated _a number of reminisceaces of his career in the army, and also briefly out- lined the cause for the existence of the Na- tional Guard. “There is no company in the District guard that can be more relied upon than the Emmets,” continued Col. Clay. “They did not go out to Little Rock as dudes. They couldn't do anything clse but win first prize in the maiden drill, and what surprises me 1s that they did not take third place as weil as first and second places in the individual contest. The Emmets were the most soldierly men on the grounds, and T now extend to them my thanks as colonel of the regiment, and also the thanks of the regiment for what they have done.” Apple vse was renewed as Capt. Walsh was requested to say something. He state? that owing to the lateness of the hour he would merely return the thanks of his com- peny for the ificent reception ex- what the boys have . Walsh. “Are you y "And hi, hi aud a ho, ho, E. G. D. C. N. G., and *rah—rah—'rah—tiger,” rang out. This was | followed by cheers for Col. Clay and the other cfficers present. The Emmets and the invited guests were then escorted to the banquet hall of the college, where two score of pretty girls su plied them with all that could be = of in the way of edibles and drink: when the party adjourned to the gymn: sium hall and danced until an early hour in the morning. The affair in every re- spect was most successful, and will long be remembered by every one who was *-rtunrie enough to be in attendance. of applause, caused by the entrance into We grect you with a | “—_ ‘ STIRRED UP BY BUTLER He alls a Man a Liar at a Political Meeting. lense Excitement at a South Caro- lina Gathering—The General Doe His Best to Calm it. A score of hands vere on as many pistols: in a second at Edgefield, 8. C., yesterday. Many climbed upon the speaker's stand; others were ready for action. The powder was all ready for the spark, but fortunately the intense political feeling did not result in bloodshed. How narrowly the tragedy was averted may not have been realized by those who were responsible for the strained conditicns. It looked awfully ugly for a minute or two. In a word, here is what the trouble was about: Gen. Butler had remarked that about the only. horse he had ever ridden, besides that of democracy, was the old horse he was on in that very grove when he met Chamberlain and his republican myrmidons, and how he had helped the people secure their liberties and political freedom. Then Mr. Henry Townes cried out: “Yes, general, and the rascal burned your house for it.” There was @ tall, lank man standing a few feet from Gen. Butler on the stand. He was Mr. John Atkinson. He had sev- eral times put in a word or two during Butler's speech. This time he cried; “He denied all that in Washington, though. (Probably referring to the Hamburg riot). The Lie Passed. Gen. Butler did not recognize the speaker, but, quick as a flash, he turned in the direc- tion of the voice and said: “It is a He. I don’t care who said it, I say it's a lie.” Mr. Atkinson did not reply. He tattooed on the reporter's desk with his umbrella, but made no sign of movement. The scene that followed was exciting. Men rushed up toward the stand with their hands on their pistols, others cursed, and the “ranger signal” was out. Fully a dozen of each faction, Tillman and Butler, made for the stand to join those already there. Henry Townes and Charles Hammond were the first to mount the stand. Townes turned on the accuser, At- kinson, and cried out: “Tt isa le, and that man knows it.” Gen. Butler tapped him on the shoulder and said: “Henry, I'll take care of myself, wet down from the stand.” “But the Me has been given,” Townes. replied all right; for God's sake, let us ouble,”” said Gen. Butler. Mr. Cogburn and some one got inte a Joud dispute. Then Mr. Harde, a friend of Gov. Tillman, had some words. Said one to the other: “Now, look here. Put up that pistol, for you are not the only one with a pistol. When I draw mine I’m going to use it.” Jack Bladon forged to the front and had a tilt with Cogburn. But these are mere incidents.

He bold- jy prophesied that the reform party would be irreparably injured if it @eclined to give all candidates a fair showing before the people.
