DEAF, DUMB, BLIND.
Anniversary Exercises at the
State Asylum.
a Large Gathering of Parents and Old Alumni
Assemblies in the New Chapel Of
the Institution.

When Shelley saw the spot beneath the
old walls of Rome in which his friend Keats
was laid to rest, amid eveT-springing Yerdure
and countless flowers, he exclaimed ut
might make one in love with death to think
of being buried in so beautiful place"
Even so the lot Of those bereft Of sight,
speech and hearing seemed shorn of its Ter
rOrs to those who visited yesterday the
State Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb and
the Blind, to witness the anniversary ex-
ercises Never did the grounds of this
noble institution appear fairer to the eye,
and the odor of the flowers was almost over
towering in its sweetness.
Only one thing marred the happiness OF
the visitor in noting the groups Of children.
They were so sadly silent. There are birds
that do not sing, but they enjoy life in a
quiet way. These little deaf. dumb and
blind children looked happy enough, but
their silence smote the heart
All the morning train after train. as it
stopped at Dwight way, deposited load of
passengers, most of them parents and former
pupils. Not a few had come from distant
parts of the State, and when they reached
the institution after hot dusty miles walk
their eyes gistened as they recognized rela-
tives, friends teachers and nurses. There
were silent hand pressures for the boys and
kisses for the girls.

IN BELLS BEHALF.
Arrest of Thomas S. Chambers
for Attempted Bribery.

Thomas 5. Chambers, a brother of Ben
Chambers, eX-Deputy Warden of San Quen-
tin Prison, is in peck" of trouble. He
was arrested by Officers Dillon and Crockett
yesterday afternoon and charged with at
tempting to bride witness. That witness
was james ). Turner negro, who claims
that Chambers asked him to perjure him
self in court to shield Sidney Bell, the con-
vlcted murderer of Samuel jacobson.
Turner says that while standing in the
corridors of the old City Hall on the 10th
nit. he was approached by Chambers, who
asked him whether he wanted TO make
some money. When Turner asked how he
was to gain a few dollars Chambers told
him he was wanted as witness in GER
tain case, but he must maintain a prof ound
secrecy. On the following morning Turner
met Chambers and another man at o'clock.
Chambers then impaired the information to
Turner that he was wanted as witness in
the interests of Sidney Bell, whose counsel
wOald soon make a motion for new trial

ner, that on the night of August Is, 1891.

things, but he lost no time in informing
CAPITA in Lees, who detailed two officers to
watch Chambers movements. The officers
followed Turner and Chambers TO notary
public's Office, but Cham bers made his es-
cape out Of a back entrance and il was not
until yesterday afternoon that he was
locked up.
The prisoner stated to a CALI. reporter
that he is innocent of the charge. He said
that he heard Turner talking about the BelI
case and merely asked him to 90 TO the
office Of Henley & Swift, attorneys for Bell.
and tell what he knew.
When spoken to in reference to the matter
last night Charles J. Swift of counsel for
Bell said that about three weeks AGO Cham
bers brought Turner to his office. The me-
gro said that on the night jacobson was
shot he knew he was in restaurant ON
Sixth street. when l asked Turner how
he knew it was the night in question:" con-
tlnued Mr.. Swift "he gave a very vague
answer. In fact | took no stock in his story
and considered that such testimony wOnld
be useless l reached the conclusion that
an affidavit Of such nature would be of liz
tie value, and told Turner so. Mr.. Heniev
was OF the same opinion, and soon after
the conversation Chambers and Turner left
the Office together"

The visitors roamed at will over the iu-

For some time past there has been much
dissatisfaction expressed by retail and whole
sale dealers as to the manner in which the
sealer OF weights and measures has transacted
his pubic duties There are over a hundred
complaints filed with the District Commits
sioners regarding this subject
A HERALD reporter started out yester-
day to investigate the subject, and as a
preliminary he interviewed Capt Frank
Aldrich, one of the sealers. He said in effect,
this: "Of course 1 know that complaints
have been made TO the Commissioners about
the manner in which the fees have been col
lected in the Office of the sealer of weights and
measures, but it would not be proper for me
to give you, as an Official even hint in rela-
tion to the information you ask. | will say
this, however, that oftentimes | have re-
turned the fee charged for the examination
of scales of the countrymen dealers in
the Centre Market when 1 thought the fee
more than covered the receipts of the daily
sales. But go to the District Building and
get hold of the batch of complaints, if they
will let you see them; they will tell you more
than | can. AS far as L am concerned,
as | said in my last annual report am
strongly in favor of making the office of
sealer of weights and measures a salared of
nee, and abolish the fee system, so that where
upon examination peoples scales are found
to be all right no fee should be exacted"
Said one of the dealersin the Centre Market:
"The system now practiced by the sealer of
weights and measures is sheer robbery. Why,
President n. u. Ordway, of the Centre Market
Company, has made the worst kind of Il kick
because our scales and the scales in the whole
sale and retail stores on Louisiana avenue are
nearly always over half pound from agree
ment."
Mr.. V. ID. Baily, a bacon cutter in the mar
ket at Fourteenth and p streets, said: ~ don't
like the coming around three or four times
year of these so-called inspectors, and fumb-
ling over my scales and then demanding a
fee from me. Why, they can rake in twenty
five dollars any morning, and what do they do?
Literally nothing. If my scales were out of
order and they fixed them up I would not
want to have these men salaried, and then,
if they reballance my scales, the fee will be
cheerfully paid.
Mrs. Frank Wright, of the Lexington Market,
corner Fourteenth and S streets, said: Eyes.
made a complaint to the District Commission
ers One of these inspectors came in here
while my husband was away, and the store
was crowded. requested him to wait for
few moments until the orders of the customers
had been filled. In a very rude and ungentle-
manly manner he rushed behind the counter
and when he was resisted he went out and
got police officer and then went to examine
the scales and collected his fees. There was
never any intention on my part to resist his
legal authority 1 simply asked him to wait
for few minutes while we attended to Gus
toners. But my experience, as | hear, has
been duplicated in the cases of some of my
neghbors.n

TALLEYRAND's FAKES. /"

A Great Diplomat Who Reported Inter-
views That Never Took Place.
Belford's Magazine.
The practice of publishing ethical romances
in the form of biographies is almost as old as
the art of writing. The "Cyropada' of
Xenophon, for instance, is nothing but trea-
tise on education reform; just as dozens of
monkish biographies expressed merely the
moral ideals of their writers. But it seems
difficult to understand what moral or even
diplomatic purpose Prince Talleyrand can
have proposed to attain by writing his politi-
cal memoirs or by postponing their publication
for only half hundred years. A postpone
ment of three or four centuries might have
subserved the purpose of at least partly OBJ
literating the proof of his reckless fctions,
but in the year 1891 those proofs can be found
in dozens of unforgotten and undisputed
memoirs, those of Daru, for instance, or the
autobiography of the poet Goethe. In describ-
ing his interview with the victor of Jena the
great poet records conversation of fifteen
or twenty minutes, during which Napoleon
gave abundant proof that the penetrative
force of his genius was not limited to political
problems. The poet, still smarting under the
blows that seemed to seal the fate of his native
land, answered shrewdly, but withal with
cold reserve. Taleyrand's account of the
same conversation characteriZes the poet as an
abJect sycophant, and the Emperor as a re-
taller of vulgar platitudes In rattling off
medley of silly criticisms on tragedies in gem
eral and German tragedians in particular, he
mentions Schiller for instance, as writer of
dramas just fit for the boulevards. Goethe
distinctly states that Talleyrand left the room
soon after he (Goethe) had been ushered into
the presence of the Emperor; and there seems
no doubt that, with the exception of one or
two sentences the entire account of the inter
view is the product of an audacious, but not
very plausible, Imagination.

The HONEYMOON.

A reader asks, GLOW did the name
honeymoon come to be applied to the
first month after marriage"
Two or three explanations have been
offered of this singular expression, but
the most reasonable and satisfactory is
that suggested by work on German
antiquities. In this it is stated that
from very early times it was the prac-
tice among the Germans to drink mead
and honey at wedding festivities which
commonly continued for thirty days,
whence the first month spent together
by the married couple came to be called
the honey month.
The same authority regards the we'd
ding tour as relic of the times when
men stole their wives and were obliged
for season to hide themselves from the
wrath of offended relatives of the bride
1t is said that in some parts of Tartary
and India at the present day, although
women are no longer stolen for wives,
the forms of capture are kept up, and
for several weeks the newly welded pair
either remain in seclusion or absent
themselves from the tribe to which they
belong.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
