Plot Of the Tennessee conviots
to Escape.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. lG.-A des.
perate plot among the convicts in the
State prison here was unearthed late
last night. Warden Pearcy had OBJ
served suspicious consultations and,
satisfied that something was up, in
stitutod search. In the cell of Bob
Mckinley lot of tools, including
saws, brace bits, chisels, dirks and
butcher knives and half-a-dozen po-
llcemen's clubs with loaded ends
were found, as well as a plan Of that
wing of the prison and memoranda
of the plan to be put into execution.
This embraced the killing of the
guards aud the escape by way of the
office. Six other convicts, four of
them serving life sentences were i'm
plicated. The matter was reported
to the Commissioners of the peniten-
tiary this morning. They ordered
Mckinley logged and hereafter kept
in solitary confinement in his cell.
All is now quiet.
This is the third attempt to break
prison which Mckinley has headed,
the last being but three weeks ago.
when half an hours delay would have
enabled the plan 10 succeed. This
last plot is the most desperate that
has been ooncocted. Never before
had their plans been so thorough and
so murderous. The scheme of muir
der and escape was just suited to Nc.
Kinley, who has killed two men in
cold blood, one of them convict
within the prison about two years
ago. The only testimony against him
was that of the convict, which saved
him from hanging for that atrocious
crime. The details of the plot, as
written out, the warden will not give
but they were desperate and carefully

DEFECTIVE SPEECH.

Leading Points of Recently Delivered
Clinical Lecture.
A child with a cleft palate uses his
tongue and the muscles of tho palate
in an unnatural way. Hence, after
the closure of the cleft by an opera
ton, an impedimcnt remains, because
the patient is still controlled by his
previous habits. H5 will need, there
fore, systematic training for months or
years. to acquire right habits in tho
case. One prime requisite is that he
fix his entire attention on his teacher,
and slowly initiate him, as the latter
strongly pronounces the difficult words,
making every movement of his lips and
tongue as plain as possible. The paE
ate may be so highly arched that the
child's speech is not much better than
that of the former case. But the soft
part of the palate can be lowered by
an operation, and the speech greatly
improved by training. There may be
extreme backwardness in speaking,
though there is no organic defect.
Here practiced eye will SEQ that there
is mental feebleness. Speech training
will be part of the necessary training
of the intellectual powers,
IN other cases, the mental powers
generally may be good, and the child
be indeed specially bright but fol
some cerebral reason, he lisps badly

abled farmers to strip out their crops.
At least two-thirds of the entire pro-
duct is now in bulk, ready for prize
