THE DEAF MUTES.

Interesting Religious Service at st. James
At four o'clock yesterday afternoon, as
had been announced, there was religious
service at St. James church, conducted in
the deaf and dumb language by Rev.
Henry W. Syle, a deaf mute. The con-
gregatiOn was very large and much interest
was taken in the service. not only by the
mutes, but by those who do not under
stand the language. The service was the
regular evening service of the church. "
Rev. Syle is distinguished missionary of
the church, regularly accredited as mis-
siOnary to the deaf mutes of Phiia-
delphia and neighboring dioceses. As the
service progressed in the deaf-mute Ian
guage Rev. DR. Knight followed it in
English SO that all cound understand it.
A very interesting feature of the service
was the responses in their own language
of the deaf mutes, of whom nineteen were
present.
During Rev. Styles sermon, Rev. DR..
Knight read to the congregation portion
of a paper which had been prepared by
Mr.. Syle for the recent cOnvocation of
clergNat Columbia. It consisted of state
ments in regard to the number of deaf
mutes in the country, the causes of their
loss of speech and hearing, and their in
tellectual, mental. and spiritual condition
before and after education. The interest
ing service yesterday concluded with an
offertory, prayer by the rector for the
deaf mutes, and the blessing.
Like services will be held in St. James
from time to time, of which due notice
will be given. Careful inquiries show that
there are within hundred miles of Phila-
delphia from 1900 to 1000 deaf mutes,
of whom from $50 to 500 are in that city,
and the rest scattered. In Lancaster and
vicinity there are about twenty. 1t is the
lesire of Rev. Syle to obtain the name and
address every deaf mute in the state. His
'wn address : is ''Rev. Henry Winter Syle,

ship was burned to the ground. The fam
lily were in bed when the fire broke out.
They succeeded in making their escape in
their night clothes, and for time all were
safe outside the building. Mr..
Reese was. without any clothing and
he started back to the burning build
ing in order to secure a suit. His SON, a
bright little fellow of 0 years, saw the
father going to the building and he fol-
lowed him. The two entered the building
and they were not again seen alive. 1t is
supposed that when they entered the door
they were overcome by smoke, as they did
not get very far. After the building had
been burned the charrcd remains of the
two persons were found near the door.
Mrs. Reese was badly burned about the
arms. Everything in the house, including
all the furniture, was burned.
Mr.. Reese was about 40 years of age
and was stone mason by trade. He was
we'll known in this city and in the neigh
considerable work for Capt. McMellen,
man. and weighed exactly 200 pounds.
How the fire originated is not known
now, but by some it is believed to have
started from the stove pipe which ran
through the roof of the house which was
Of frame.
Mr.. Reese left family consisting of
wife and four children. Mrs. Reese is
almost frantic with grief at the death of
her husband and child and the destruction
Of their home.

liable to be upset ION a broad guagee
than when going on a narrow guase;'
if he wants 10 turn he can do it more
easily, because he is partly turned
