1t is time people knew there is a vast
difference between asylum" and "insti-
tuition" and that they should cease mis-
taking the one Tor the other in referring
10 our benevolent institutions. Some
people are so grossly iliterate as 10 per
sist in speaking Of the school for the deaf
as an asylum. There is no possible ex-
cuse for the mistake except the most raj
pable ignorance. 1t is unjust and entire
" pernicious, and calls Tor vigorous pro-
test from those interested in the welfare
OF the deaf. This school. of which the
state can be justly proud, is one of the
grandest OF her many grand institutions.
Here children bereit OF the sense OF hear.
ing and the faculty of speech are educated
and brought up to level with the best Of
their hearing brethren, and receive tram
ing that its them for almost any walk in
life and makes them entirely self-reliant.
1t is nothing but an institution OF learn
ing-as much so as Butler university. en-
cept that in the latter the standard is
more advanced, but what is lacking ia
the Iatter-industria education-is sup
p led in tho former. Both are institutions
of learning How does it sound to refer
70 the university as Butter asylum
The idea is odious. 1t is equally so in ap-
pending the appellation TO other such in
situations. and 10 the present case is par
ticularly distasteful when used in connec-
ton with the deaf and dumb institution.

THE ANGELUs BELL.
Something About tie Custom Portrayed in
Min-t's Painting.
New England Magazin e.l

The Angelus is q prayer 10 the Virgin,
introduced by Pope Urban III in 1895, as
an intercession for the absent crusaders. 1t
begins with the words: Angelus Domini
nuntiavit Marie-The angel of the Lord
announced unto Mary. Then follows the
salutation OF Gabriei-Ave Maria, etc. The
prayer contains three verses, and each
verse ends with the sautstion, Ave
Maria; and il is recitcd three times day,
at the ringing OF the AngeIus bell, so
named from the first word in the prayer.
After the crusades, the custom Ian
guished until, in 1927, Pope John XIII
ordered all the faithful to recite an Ave
Maria at each ringing of the bell He an
nounced an indulgence for each recita-
ton. Other names are the ave Maria

SARA, HER PETS AND PLAYS.

While Petting an Australian 'Possum.

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Madame Sara Bern
hardt and her company have arrived here.
Since her arrival at San Francisco. en-
route from the antipodes, she has not only
made the trip thus far, but has played
every night: "a feat never before ac-
complished," said Manager Abbey. An
interviewer says of her: "She is not the
thin Sara that they used to describe, and,
while not plump. her statuesque figure Is
not angular. In every feature and muscle
she was alive. and her actions were as ex
pressive as her words. She talked of
her trip to Australia and how she
shot bears and other wild animals. Of the
riots IN Paris over the presentation of
'LoheEgrIn' she said: oh. those rioters
were not Parisians; they were French
lsace- Lorrainers.' The Paris
ian likes everything that Is grand. OF her
newest success, Pauline Blanchard she
says that 1t is extremely realistic, and that
sometimes she felt afraid while personat-
ing Pauline that she would become crazy.
As she talked she patted q rogush little
oppossum which che had brought with her
from Australia. This and a monster st.
Bernard dog are the only pets she has with
her now, having discarded bear and a
kangaroo. In addition to her other work
and her diversions she is engaged in writ
ing play"

Senator Vest Not Enthusiastic Over Germans
Candidacy for the Presidential Nomination
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 5.-Senator Vest. of
Missouri. who has come here for few
days stay, is not among those who wax
eloquent over the presidential boomlet of
Senator German. Senator Vest says there
are so many uncertainties he does not
think it safe to predict who will be the
Democratic nominee but he will GO as far
as saying that there should be no uncer-
taipty concerning his senatorial colleague
German. While the Missouri Senator ac-
cords the Marylander full credit for his
special services against the bill providing
for free elections he does not think Cor
man is in touch with the party on the
question of free trade. As Vest thinks this
Is the paramount question and should be
made the great issue of 1892, to the exclu-
sion of election bills, silver and general
commerce. he does not consider German as
any way qualified TO champion such @
cause. He believes the Marylander is
tinctured with protection.

Grounds on Which Nicola Trezza Il Trying TO
Escape Death by Electricity.

ALBANY, N. Y. Oct. 5.-Nicola Trezza. the
Kings county murderer, in Sing Sing prison
under sentence of death, has afforded the
legal fraternity another opportunity to try
conclusions with the electrical execution
law. HIS appeal in his action against A.
A. Brush. as warden of Sing Sing prison.
was argued to-day in the Court of Appeals.
The appeal is from q judgment of the Gen
eral Term affirming an order of Justice Gull
len refusing to discharge Trezza from i'm
prisonment at Sing Sing and dlsmissing the
writ OF habeas corpus granted on his petit
tion. Trezza was convicted of murder in
the first degree. and sentenced by tine Kings
county Court Of Sessions to be executed BY
the agent and warden of Sing Sing prison
The warrant Was dated June O. lo90, and
directed him to be taken back to the Kings
county Jail, and, within a certain number
of days thereafter, TO be delivered to the
warden at Sing Sing. An appeal

all proceedings under the warrant pending

was taken by the sheriff of Kings county
who placed him in solitary confinement aud
% imprisoned him until March o. q period
OF about nine months, when he was brought
back and resentenced TO DO executed dur
ing the week commencing April 20. 1891. He
was immediately taken back to Sing Sing
by tho warden and again placed in solitary
confinement Pending the time of execu-
tlon. Trezza applied to Justice Cullen. of
the Supreme Court. for writ of habeas
corpus. claiming that bis simprisonment was
illegal and asking to be discharged, upon
the ground that he was suffering q second
time the penalty prescribed 10y law. in vio-
lation Of the Constitution. in that the same
is cruel aud unusual punishment. and also
claiming that the warrant itself was an
absolute nullity, because the sentence pro-
vided by law was not pronounced by the
court. but was left to the determination
and Judgment of the warden. James w.
Ridgeway, district attorney of Kings coun-
ty. appeared for warden Brush; Daily and
