WHAT THE BLIND CAN DO.
In Spite of Their Af1iction They Often Per-
form Wonderful Feats.

In Spite of Their Af1iction They Often Per-
form Wonderful Feats.
SIT seems as though it were only in few
cases of brilliant talent that there can be
any real competition between the blind and
the seeing; but blind child, like one who
has lost an arm or leg, may learn to make
the most of what is left to him, and to that
end the work rooms of the institution claim
their full share of each day." says Mrs.
Frederic R Jones in the September Scrib-
ner.
"The boys are taught to make mattresses,
to cane chairs, and if they have ear and
brain enough to be tuners, there are models
by which they may become familiar with
the anatomy of the piano. The girls learn
to knit and sew by hand and on machines;
thev embroider and make coarse lace, and
are also taught cooking on little gas stoves.
Not long ago one of them had to go home
because her mother was i'll, and on her re-
turn she was heard to say, half in joke and
half in earnest: 1T was bad day for ME
when learnt to cook, for 1 was kept at it
all the time
s'The list which is kept of the occupa-
tions followed by pupils after they leave
the school gives some curious reading. One
of the tuners in Steinway's warerooms is a
graduate, and another was for years the
organist of DR.. Howard Crosby's Church.
An insurance broker, prosperous news
vender who owns three stalls, horse
dealer, tax collector, real estate agent,
a florist, are all duly recorded, but the most
astonishing entries are those of a lumber
man, sailor and cook, and switch tender.
Once outside the walls of the institution
the pupils find their own level according to
their ability, but wherever they may 60
they always keep friendly feeling for the
teachers who have literally led them forth,
so far as may be, from the shadow of great
darkness, and these in their turn are repaid
for hours of patient drudgery by the knowl-
edge that they have helped to turn useless
creature into a man or woman for whom
there is a place in the world"

General Fight and Several Arrests.
PoUGHKEEPsIE, Ny, Noy. S.-A quar-
rel broke out in the Seventh ward polling

A GREAT SOPRANO SINGER.
Angelica Catalinl Probably the Create 81
That Ever Lived.

Angelica CatalinI Probably the Create st
That Ever Lived.
St. Louis Globe Democrat.l
Angelica Catalini was probably the great
est soprano singer that ever lived. Born in
1779, before she attained her 18th wear she
was already famous. In the full freshness
of youth her voice was Of extraordinary
compass, going as high as G in sltissmo
with wonderful pure, sweet tone. No
singer ever equalled her, either in velocity
or precision in the execution of chromatio
passages, and her execution of difficult and
brilliant music was so true tnat everywhere
she created the greatest furor. In 1895 she
made her operatic debut at Venice and un-
til the date of her last public appearance,
for season after season, electrified all Eur
ope, many operas being written expressly
for her voice
Her gains from musical performances
were enormous for that time. In 1877 she
received from managers over $50, 900, then q
fa- greater sum than at present She did
what few female singers were able to do;
left the stage in the height of her fame, re-
firing to villa near Florence in 1928 Her
charity was unbounded. The amount of
money expended by her in founding and
endowing charitable institutions was esti-
mated at $500, 900. She died in 1S49 at

BUFFALO OVER-OFFICERED.

Just Forty Preservers of the Peace in One
Ward Alone.
BUFFALO, Nov S-[Special. THE Of
fcers of election to-day were legion. In
one ward alone were 20 marshals, 10
deputy sherifs and 10 policemen. About
80 arrests were made, most of them in this
over-ofhcered ward. Democrats stood
ready to bail them out as fast as they were
arrested Several personal encounters took
place between sheriffs, marshals and other
officers, but no blood was spilled except In
the Thirteenth ward, where man was
stabbed. One of the marshals in the
Nineteenth ward fell dead at the polls from
a supposed attack of heart disease, brought
on by over-e1citement He was Henry
kilcourse, we'll known resident OF the
ward.
The vote polled is heavy and consumed
an extraordinary amount of time, but this
was due to the number of ballots that had
to be folded, not to any obstructive tactics.
After voting early this morning Lieutenant
Governor Sheehan drove rapidly to the
station and caught the fast train for New
York. The weather was clear and cold,

SEARCH LIGHTS AND FLASH L1GHrs
Recent Experiments Warrant a Great b

Recent Experiments Warrant a Great Be-
lief in Their Future Use.
New Orleans Picayune.I
One of the most interesting uses to which
electricity has been put of late years has
been its adaptation to the purposes of war
ships and the military service generally.
BY far the most important use made of
electric lighting on shipboard, however,
has been its use in seaHh lights These
lights are so constructed as to give great
illuminating power, and can be made to
search out objects for long distances at sea.
Their power is su,h that warship can lie
off shore and carefully scrutinize by the aid
of its search lights every detail of the forti-
fcations of hostile port.
Electricity has also been made to serve
the purpose of signaling at night on board
ship, and is put to many other purposes of
less importance. The latest experiments
with the electric search light have de-
veloped that it can be made to serve the
purpose of signaling long distances both bv
land and sea, where all ordinary means of
communication are unavailable An inter-
esting experiment of signaling with a
powerful electric fash light is reported In
recent exchanges. The light was located
on the summit of Mount Washington, and
messages were sent to Portland, distance
of 85 miles.
The messages were sent BY flashing the
intense electric beam into the sky in long
and short flashes to correspond with the
dots and dashes respectively of the Morse
alphabet, the signals being easily read bv
a telegraphic operator located in Portland
1t is explained that the direcs source of
light was, of course, far below the horizon,
the shaft of light at Mount Washington be-
ing projected into the air at an angle of 45o.
In this way the lower strata of clouds were
avoided and the pencil of rays was given q
path that took it to point probably 80
miles in the air above Portland, its length
being calculated to be fully 100 miles.

LARGEST PALACE IN EUROPE

Escurial, the palace of the Spanish
Kings, has been termed the eighth wonder
of the world. Situated 25 miles to the

covering nearly nine acres of ground, and
may be seen for many miles in any direc-
tion. Begun by Philip IL in 1868, it was
