NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-The Her
aid's Austin, Texa., special says: "All
day Sunday and Monday most alarm
ing teli.gramer continued to pour in oin
Governor Ross, informing him that
war, blooly and fierce, is raging on,
the Texas frontier, and Rio Grandt'
City hba been for the past twenty-four
hours in the possession of an armed
Mexican mob. All telegrams conme
from Jobn P. Kolsey, county judge of
Starr county, or the sheriff, and each
succeeding one was more startling and
seusational than the other. All de.
mand troops at once. They convey
the impressiou in plain words that
rampant anarchy runs riot on the bor
der and the lives of American citizens
in that section are in imminent peril.
The extraordinary and Neneational
state of afLirs had thelir origin in a
fatal encounter In Rio Graude City
last Saturday between Catrino E. Oar
za, editor of the El Coummerelo Mexi
eano. and United States revenue
officer Victor Sebree. In the fight
Sebree shot and killed Garza, who was
very popular all along the Rio Grande
And as a result (he Mexicans rose in
revolt and endeavored to lynchSebree.
i'he Texas officials, however. saved
him for a time from the fury of the
mob and wired Governor Ross as fol
lows:
"A great riot is raging here. Armed
men are parading the streets. Send
the state Rangers, or call on United
States troops at F, rt Ringgold."
This dispatch was followed by an
other from J. W. Kennedy, member
of the legislature as follows:
"Send all available troop. you can
at once. Armed Mexicans in control
of city and county."
A still later one was received, say
log;
"A fight baa just taken place be
tween two Mexicans and one Ameri
can; one Mexican wounded. The Mlex
icans now demand that the American
be delivered to them. Riot prevented
by Ilacing the Amtrecan under ar
rest."
Another telegram ready: "Over lii(
armed Mexicans are atteranpt.ng to
lynch $.ebree. Beud Rangers at once.
Riot st'll continues." Itio (Grande
City, eight miles from the nearest
railroad station, is extremely dliltcult
to reach. Gov. Ross has ordered the
entire Ranger force of Texas to pro

::rene. The .Lexicans number tell to
one of the white citizens at that sta
tion. There is no telling to what ex
cetses they will resort, .espec.ailly as
they have no difficulty in escap ng to
Mexico. Gov. Ro-sh ha also teiegraphed

event I. likely to lead to an Interna

Rose said the situation was extremely
grave, and the absence of advices fur

WEARERS OF GLASS EYES.
Hew Artillctal Eyee Are Made sad Wha
Use. Them--Facts of nterest.
Upward of 5.000 New Yorkers wear
artificial eyes, and of this goodly number
the majority are ladies, whose sole ambi
tion to supersede the works of the Creator
is centered in the hope of becoming at
tractive. Artificial eyes may be classi
fied into two distinct kinds. viz., glass
and composition. Until recently those
who had the misfortune to lose an eye
have provided themselves with artificial
ones of glass to hide the deformity. Eyes
are to a man what the vestibule door is
to the house-an indication of what is
inside. The idealistic part of the glass
eye contains without doubt more fact
than fiction.
Oculhsts and opticians say that thou
sands who make use of this valuable and
important artiflcd show no evidence ex
c2pt to an expert of any impaired sight.
The glass eyes which are manufactured
in this country are really made of glass.
They have many defects, among which
may be mentioned their liability'to be
broken, and the hard pressure of their
edges upon the fleshy parts. A fall or
blow will often break them, or they will
sometimes crack spontaneously, and in
addition to the loss of the artificial eye,
the patient's eyelids are frequently
wound.ed. This accounts for the fact of
children being rarely provided with glass
eyes on account of them not being able
to handle them without danger.
The composition eye, which is made of
a substance resembling celluloid, is now
in universal demand. It is much worn
by ladies p children, as It prevents a
distortion of the face. After the human
eye is once impaired and total blindness
sets in, the face will be distorted if no
artificial eye is worn, by the falling of
the eyelids. The composition eyes are
imported from Germany, and have de.
stroyed the market of the glass specimens
which are exclusively manufactured in
this country. Some of these are remark
able for close imitation, while others are
beautiful sliciuens of art. They are
generally worn by those who have an in
jured *. a extracted, but the majority of
artificial eye wearers are recruited from
the ranks of the fair sex, who lprchance
are squinted or possessed of some other
trifling ocular deformity.
In certain diseases of the eye it be
comes necessary to extract the orb so af
fected. as the eyes are ), inlimately con
nectttd throu i their n rvlous stlructures
that on', diseasesl ece m, 1 i ulttnmately ruin
the other by iympathetic ophthalmuia.
The operanion of removal i, known as
"enull(caolii,'' v whihl th, mu.lllle' are

ficial eye-.

duced. Tey art, g.enerally removed at
night and the parts washed with water
or lotion. They gener:dly last three
years, aster which thley lose their polish
and tconse u:lit for wea:. New ones
are then introdnvued after the samne fash
ion, and when once accustomed to this
routine the wearer experiences very little
inconvenience in their adjustment. The
composition e3 es possess the advantage
of lightness, and the conlposition may
be trimmed with a penknife or a file to
adjust it accurately and comfortably to
the parts. No artificial eye is of perpet
ual duration, because by its incessant
movement it lones its smooth surface.
One of the largest manufacturers of
glass eyes in this country said to the
writer a few days ago: "It is surprising
to think of the vast number of persons
who wear glass eyes. The largest per
centage, of course, are ladies, who an
nually expend large sums in the pur.
chase of those translucent optic% and un
less a person thoroughly experienced in
handling thosr eyes no other could dis
cover that they are Immtations. Glass
eyes cost all the way fronm 8 to $15
each, but composition eyes which are im
ported cost extravagant sums, though
some may be purchased at comparatively
low prices, depending, of course, an the
qulity of the material. You know
cattle also wear glass eyes, and thou
sands of men find themselves the posse
ars of horses and other anillea aea
mented with those e3ae which they par
chased on the suptosition that they were
tree from defects. '
The Insertion of artificial eyes requires
great skill o th part of the operator,
as the comfort and stability of the artIf
ca orb to the patient are dependent on
the process of trandarmation. The eye
Is taken between the forefinger ad
thumb of the right baud, while the ther
and s placed on the fasbead and Ib
etrmt used to rl the upper ee
a4 Itthen-ntrm d er te -
per eyelid, the lower one is dLrawan.iW
by the disengaged fingers, and behwid
this the piece at once places itself.
In extracting a glass or compositkli
eye the easiest way is to catch hold of it
ietween the fingers and draw itoutward.
Should anuy difficulty be experienced th
head of a pin or some blunt instrument
insertel d uier the bead at once removes
the obiacle. This is where the folly of
u.ing glass eyes becomes apparent, for if
not allowed to rest or fall on a handkl'
chi, f or some soft material they break,
and their replacement at frequent inter
vals costs a considerable amount.
Glass eye making requires judgment
in the selection of proper glass. This is
composed of sand, soda, saltpeter, pot
ash. lime and chloride of lead. All the
ingredients are put into a melting pot
for a period of twenty hours and a.b
jected to a heat of 1.8'00degs. The rand
and other chemicals then unite in form
ing a hquid. The gl us blower then uses
an iron pipe heated t nough to make the
glass stick to it. Thi is stirred in a cir
cular direction untl a ball is formed.

manner, frum glass ,: different shades
and colors, are now inserted into this

How Thread Is Nambered.
Everybody knows the sizes of thread.
Every seamstree knows whether she
wants No. 30 or 60 or 120. and knows,
when she hears the number, about what
is the size of the strand referred to; hot
how the numbers happen to be what they
are, and just what they mean, not me
person in a thousand knows. And yet 1
is a simple matter to explain, was the in.
formation accorded to a reporter by a
employe of one of the large.t spool cotos
manufactories in the United States.
When 840 yards of yarn weigh 7,000
grains. a pound of cotton, the yarn is
No. 1. If 1,6080 yards weigh a pound, It
will he No. 2 yarn. For No. 50 yarn it
would take 50 multiplied by 840 yards to
weigh a ipom. This is the whole of the
yarn measurement. The early mann
factured thread was three cord, and the
lhread took its number from the number
of the yarn from which it was made.
No. 60 yarn made No. 60 thread. though
in point of fact the actual caliber of No.
60 thread would equal No. 20 yarn being
three 60 strands.
When the sewing machine came into
the market as the great consumer, un
reasoning in its work and inexorable in
its demands for mechanic.. accuracy,
six cord cotton had to be made as a
smoother product. As thread numbers
were already established, they were not
tltered for the new article, and No. 60
six cord and No. 60 three cord are kan
tical in size as well as in number. To
affect tliri the six cord has to be made of
tarn twice as firm .as that demanded by
the thrve cord. The No. 00 six cord
.vo,uhl Iba six strands of No. 120 yarn.
ioree conrd sj.ol1 cotton is the same num
xsr as 1h- -varn it is made of. Six cord
  wl ctwais is made of yarn that is
lul Ic itr number. As simple a thing
is thr :.1 is there are 2.000 different
