How People Hear Their own Voices.

In his article on speech and Song"
Sir Morell Mackenzie says people do
not hear their own voices as other peo
pie hear them Voices are conveyed to
the auditory nerve, not only through
the outside air. but more directly from
the inside. through the Eustachian
tube as well as through the muscles
and bones Of the mouth and head. The
singer not only hears his voice
from a different quarter, as we may say,
but be hears besides the contraction Of
his own muscles The fact is well Illus
trated by the photograph a listener
can recognize other peoples voices, but
if he speaks into the photograph, and
afterward reproduces his own voice, it
does not sound at all like itself to him
A free pardon. after this explanation,
may be more readily accorded to Ger

quaintances who insist upon obliging
with a song. They know not how hor

HORACE WAS JUDGE.

Alderman Schermerhorn Presldes Over
Cake Walk with Grace and Dignity.
A gorgeous cake walk and ball, under
Association. was held last evening al
Metropolitan Hall. Greenville. As this
is always the leading social event among
the colored society of the Heights it was
awa1red with feverfsh anticipation. The
hall was filed with the elite of black and
tandom and the hall presented rich
scene of color"
The cake which was given to the couple
who were picked out by the judges as the
most graceful walkers was placed in q
large glass case on a table in the centre
Of the hall. II was baked especially for
the occasion by Paul Baskerville's Sons
and measured two feet in diameter, and
1t somehow suggested the idea that sew
eral weddings had got mixed up.
Promptly at ten O'Clock Prof. Sehlund's
orchestra struck up the march, and the
couples headed by Mistah J. Parke and
Miss A Matthews, started the grand
march which was TO decide the owner
ship of three weeks indigestion.
Alderman Harry Schermerhorn was
Judge. He whispered 10 me that he had
a suit OF razor proof chain mail under his
tors were in that walk for business, and
not one OF the gentlemen proposed to
TO have his lady friend consulted by the
award OF the sugar coated bauble TO
some other trash.
But the chain mail couldn't save Harry
from the killing glances that were shot
at him from coal black-eyes- You should
have seen him blush as gentle thing in
lilac silk with scarlet ribbons, with tan
gloves to match her complexion, cast
seductive glances on his fair, fresh young
beauty from beneath her silky lashes.
Oh. myl Yum. yum
Blondes were at premium at that ball.
and that is the reason Harry had such a
universal crush.
The Alderman assured himself that
telephone connection was established
with the ambulance station. and then he
made his award. He took the first
corners, and gave the cake to Mistah
Park and Miss Matthews. He
was at once surrounded by an
excited and bowling mob. Police Cap
tain Smith and a squad of officers rescued
him, and the winners made tracks for
home via the back door.
When quiet was restored Mistah Will
lam Hardy gave an exhibition jig dance,
there being no further entry for
that event. He received a hand
some gold medal. suitably inscribed
as a prize. The prize waltz was won by
Mr.. Thompson and Miss Graham The
prizes for the waltz were a gold headed
cane for the gentleman and gold watch
for the lady The couples then danced
until an early hour this morning.

confinement as an act of charity. On the
night his daughter was married, about
ten days ago, he was summoned TO the
bedside OF his humble patient. Her child
was dead and he was Obliged to perform
a delicate operation in order to save the
woman's life.
He returned to his home in the after
noon suffering with chills and toward
evening complained of painin his arm
and in his legs. He said that he had
burned the tip of his finger and he was
afraid that he had poisoned himself
while performing the operation. The
doctor had worked very hard OF
late and his system was run
down and he was not in
the best of health. Still Drs.
Vondy and Reeves, who attended him,
have no doubt that the immediate cause
of death was the inoculation Of his blood
with poison which was probably pro-
duced by the contact of his burned finger
with the dead body of the infant.
This was the second time DIR. Rector
had been poisoned. About nine years ago
he had among his patients woman who
was suffering with malignant typh cid
fever. No one would 90 near her. and
even the members of her own
family would not wait upon her.
DIR. Rector directed his entire
time to her, and while ministering to her
he became inocuIated with her spittle

a narrow escape from death at the. time.

Last month but nineteen deaths from the

There has been some comment concern

places named were raided because the
proprietors had failed to renew their
licenses.
Not a single license for running a con-

other proprietors into looking .fter re-
