In the matter of a jury of critics to award the prize of . half of which was offered by The nepublic and the other half by Mr. Thomas K. Skinker, suggestions as to who might best decide the contest among so many laudable efforts, mould not be unwel come, ns the idea of The Republic is to satisfy its contributors of the excellence of Judg ment and absolute fairness that will attend the award.

".This city has be come the Mecca ot the blind. Marvelous cures .said to have been wrought by the os cillator invented by Doctor Henry F. Garey have attracted the blind from every corner of the country. The blind are actually made to see by the Garey machine. It is claimed. Fifty per cent are cured. Men and women who have been led to Doctor Garey's office have left, he fays, after a few treatments, to make long journeys alone to their homes. Pcr eons pronounced incurable by"the greatest specialists in the world have been cured in a month, he says And these wonders are wrought without any medicine, by the mere physical exer cise of the optic nerves by a machine per fected three years ago, after ten years of cold, scientific experiment. Kjc Strengthened I' Kierclc. To Doctor Garey there Is nothing miracu lous or wonderful about his machine or its cure. Both' are the result of hard thinking and harder work. And the principle Is simple. It is the same principle by which the muscles ot the athlete are strengthened and Increased In size exercise of the muscle, stimulation of its blood vessels and Increase of nutrition to its tissues. The eyeballs arc seized In two vacuum cups in Doctor Garey's machine and are pulled backwards and forwards by regula tion of the air pressure, and the 'optic nerves, which end In the retina, are there by stimulated and strengthened by in creased nutrition. Among those who are said to have been cured by Doctor Garey are Senator Hernan do do Soto Money of Mississippi, John Con don of Chicago, turfman and owner of the Harlem track: Chief Engineer Falkenstcln of the revenue-cutter service; Doctor John Hals of LeRoy. 111., and Doctor Burton W. Seymour of Stockton, X. Y. "Aotliliijr "Wonderful About It." ""There In nothing- -wonderful about Ihe machine' Doctor Garey said to-day. "'It is simply the instrument for doing the work of exercising the eyeball, which Is com municated to the nerves of nutrition and sight In the posterior portion of the eye. "From the experience I have gained in thfc past six months in treating cases which other specialists have pronounced incurable. I will say that I can cure ZH per cent of them. That Is mj- average so far. Of course, this may be diminished or In creased; time and practice only will demon strate. "I think blindness will soon b a disease yielding as readily to treatment as any ether. I -believe that investigators are now working along the correct lines for the treatment of blindness caused by disease. I am conxinced that In future those who are hopelessly blind will be only those who arc born so. or have been made so by acci dent. Of course, in the case of the sight being destroyed by accident, the treatment 1 uso would be of no value whatever. Modest in Ills Claims.

KIMi DID XOT PA A EA'PECTE VISIT TO AII1IEV. King Edward did not drive out to-day. A large crowd had gathered outside Bucking ham Palace in expectation ot their Majes ties taking a drive, and the King, who was lunching in one of the front rooms of the building, came to a window In full view of the people, who cheered him enthusiastical ly. The King bowed his acknowledgments. It has been expected that his Majesty would visit Westminster Abbey to-day, but he did not do so. He was busily engaged with his secretary. Lord KnoIIys. Some regalia for the coronation was re moved to-day from Buckingham and St. James palaces to Vestmlnoter Abbey, -where minor rehearsals of the coronation cere mony were held.
