A PROTEST WITHOUT VOICE.
The Deaf and Dumb Object to Their Last
Census Classification.


WASHINGTON, May 9.-Mr. Robert Porter,
Superintendent Of the Census; DR.. ]. s.
Billings, in charge Of mortality and vital sta
tistics of the census, and DR.. Gallaudet, Presi-
dent of the National Deaf and Dumb College,
had conference to-day with regard to the
classification Of deaf mutes in the new census.
Friends Of the deaf and dumb suggested that
an injustice hurtful to the feelings of this un-
fortunate class had been done in the last
census by publishing the statistics relating to
the deaf and dumb in the special volume treat
ing Of the insane. pauper and criminal classes
Mr.. Porter conceded in this view Of the
matter, and informed DR.. Gallaudet that the
facts relative to deaf mutes would be printed
in the volume devoted to social statistics, and
that the prison and pauper statistics would be
printed separately.
1t is also desired that the collection of the
statistics of the deaf and dumb should be made
to throw as much light as possible upon the
mooted question of whether or not the in
crease in the number of persons afflicted with
loss of voice and hearing is due to intermar-
rage among the deaf and dumb. 1t is proba-
BILE that this object will be kept in mind in
making the collection OF the census. but Mr..
Porter's determination is to avoid any minute
investigation which will delay the completion
of the census work.

The school teachers who are seeking for a
reform in the hours of the school session
have apparently good basis for their ar
guments. They want the afternoon session
abolished during the heated term, and to
make up for the time which would be thus
lost, propose that the morning session
should begin an hour or so earlier. The
teachers assert that they are seeking to
benefit the scholars, and their suggestion Of
reform deserves consideration.

THE LlLYS NARROW ESCAPE.
Nearly Run Over by q Fast Trotter, but
Saved by Freddie's Help.


Saved by Freddie's Help.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
LEWISTON, Me, May 9.-Mrs. Langtry ap-
peared here last night in "As in q Looking
Glass" The character Of this play is not, how
ever, suited to the tastes of the theatergoers of
this vicinity, and although the elite Of Lewis
ton and Auburn and surrounding towns was
present, yet in this regard it was disappoint-
ment. Not since the appearance Of Dixey in
"Adonis' has there been more refined audi
ence in Music Hall, Congressman Dingley and
wife being among the number.
While the Jersey lily was on her way from
the depot to the hotel, she narrowly escaped
what might have been serious accident. An
Auburn attorney, who was speeding fast
trotter, ran upon her. but luckily refined the
animal before anybody got injured. Mrs.
Langtry glanced up and beheld the horse,
frothing at the mouth and rearing on his
launches above her head, more realistic, un-
assumed dramatic attitude was never struck,
on or off the stage. Her face became deathly
pale and she let forth an unearthly Shrek, and
threw her arms wildly around the neck Of
Freddie" but for whose assistance she would
have fallen to the ground.

CONSIDERING the fact that majority of
the people of Pittsburg are descended from
scotch-Irish ancestry, the congress now
being held in Columbus, Tenn, is one in
which citizens of Allegheny county cannot
fail to take a deep interest. The Scotch
Irish, not only in Pennsylvania, but else
where in the country, have always been
among the best and most honored citizens.

1T is the fashion to say. and unluckily
the fashion is founded on trusty experience,
that our Legislators don't earn their salaries.
If the number of bills introduced BY the
Allegheny delegation is any indication, the
list published in THE DISPATCH to-day
would seem to show that our representatives
have really done lot of work.

THE demonstration of popular sympathy

1t is to be hoped that more substantial re-

CRONIN's DISAPPEARANCE.
Anew Theory of the Police In Regard to
His Supposed Death.

CHICAGO, May 9.-The only new thing in the
Cronin case to-day was a new theory which the
police had under consideration. It had not yet
been acted upon, but it is not improbable that
it will be. The theory is that Cronin's body. if
the doctor is dead, will be found in one of the
new-made graves in one of the cemeteries in
the neighborhood. 1t is contended that it
would have been easy for the assassins to open
a fresh grave during the hours of the night
when lonely places in the cemeteries are not
watched, and, after depositing the body in it.
replace the earth as it originally was.
The North Branch Is still being dragged to-
day for Cronin's body and the search for it in
the woods at Lakeview and along the shore of
the lake is still kept up.

The Most ForgetfuI Man.

From the New FORK Sun.l
The most forgetful man of recent years is
the man who was tried on charge of burglary
in Brooklyn the other day, when he testified
that he had nevef been arrested before. Yes
terday he admitted that he was once convicted
of murder in New Jersey, and sentenced to 20
years Imprisonment, but he said he had "for-
gotten all about it." It is natural that so for
getful person should forget to enter his own
house and break into some other fellows.

ALBANY, May 9.-The State Senate General
Laws Committee, ordered last year to investi-

concludes that oppressive trusts have within
them the element of their own destruction;
that as trusts become better known they be-
come less feared; that the evils Of which they
are the, cause are short lived; that, pending
suits now on the way to the Court Of Appeals,
no legislation should be had.
A test case has been started against the Buf-

Meanwhile the elevators are charging price
one-eighth of a cent bushel in excess of the
price fixed by law, claiming that the work can
not be done for less"

INFERIOR MANUFACTURES.

Loretto, Cambria county Pa, July
15.-The effects OF indirect taxation
seem TO fall almost exclusively on the
farmer. | will give IL illustration:
Formerly ironing Il singletree cost
seventy five cents; bur it would last
eight or ten years. Now the irons are
supplied to the smith tempered 10 suit.
and are put on for forty-tive cents.
This seems cheap, but they will hardly
wear a year. Scores of such examples
might be given. Professional men, in
deed, most of the educated people,
seem TO live in some way upon the
farmers. Farmers do rot display SUIT
ficient energy in resisting these impo-
sitions. Forty years ago very many
farmers were adopts in the discussion
of economic subjects, but nov yOu
seldom hear instructive discussions by
them here. Aside from the tax which
the tariff imposes in its most direct
shape, a heavier burden is imposed by
the inferior quality of articles which
the absence OF competition enable a
ufaciurers to see. Dry goods. clothing,
boots and shoes, have not advanced so
much in price as they have fallen off in
quality.
