IT MAKES THE DEAF HEAR
SUCCESS OF A NOVEL INSTRUMENT.
The Mysterious Restoration of Hearing
by an Unseen Device-Old Theories
Successfully Applied.

During the past few years there have been many
rumors of the restoration in some mysterious way,
of the hearing of those who were known to have
been deaf for many years. This has led to an in
vestigation by those interested. and 1t has been
found that this happy change has been made by the
use OF most simple, yet ingenious device, which
was invented by gentleman in Bridgeport, Conn.,,
named n. q Wales. This device is the same to
the ears as ere glasses to the eyes, and is simply
soft rubber DISC arranged on rubber spring, and
so shaped that when inserted in the ear, 1t will
focus the waves of sound on the natural drum,
thus increasing the vibration Of the latter.
The possibilities of device of this nature have
long been known, but the many attempts to use
this knowledge have been such utter failures that
it was considered beyond our present knowledge Of
the ear to make practical instrument of the kind.
Consequently when this devics was first invented,
not much attention was given the same Is it was
thought to be merely an old enemy in a new dress;
but gradually this slight prejudice was dispelled
until, at the present time most physicians and
aurists look kindly upon the instrument, and seem
pleased at the success II is meeting.
At q recent interview, Mr.. Wales made the re-
markable statement that to his knowledge. the
device which he calls Sound Disc ad never failed
where relief was afterward obtained by any ruedi-
cal, surgical, mechanical means, excepting .
powerful trumpet, which he says is more
powerful than his device. 1t would seem to be an
ideal device for the deaf as 1t is in the ear
out of sight, for months at a time and as far as we
can learn, is pronounced safe and comfortable for
the patient Many times It has proven itself to be
an advancement In the science Of acoustics by re-
Heving the most obstinate cases which had defied
medical tire atment for years.
What may be the ultimate result of the use Of
this device-whether the results thus far obtained
will warrant its use in such variety of cases. that
it will stop the progress of deafness the future
to such an extent that 1t Will avoid the of
trumpets. cannot say; but the desirability of q
device Of this nature regards its safety Its bene-

ouently. The day was raw and cold,
heavy rain having fallen in the morning,
Nsnd the weather was rough on players,
PARTICULARLY the pitchers. After the third
inning McGinnis was hit hard, especially
in the eighth, when the Spokanes punched
Their hits finely and scored four runs. Pol
hemus led with the stick, having two
ingles and triple. The hits made off
peccius were scattering, except in the first.
neccius is peculiar as pitcher in that he
never throws speedy ball. He relies on
his curves and drops for infield hits or pop
MP flies, and seldom strikes out batter.
Banning is unfit as umpire. He is not
alert enough, and fails to see decisive
points on base plays. He was as faulty
today as yesterday. and both teams kicked
hard. He called Dalrymple out at third
today, although he was lying on the base
when Irwin touched him. For this he
vas numerically guyed by the spectators.
To even up he did not call strike off Nc
Ginnis unless the ball cut the plate in
.%rain. which accounts for so many bases
on balls. LANCE was irritated by this
treatment, and because he twice asked:
chow was that? ?" on pitched balls, he was

FOR this week Seattle comes home with

The record of the Seattle club on its

which TO be proud. Starting out with
almost no preliminary practice it has won

tied Tor the lead with Spokane. The work
OF the players, both individually and az a
team, has been highly satisfactory to their
admirers, and they are sure of roSsing
reception on next Wednesday. Both Nc
Ulnnis and Dunning have pitched winning
Dali and have been accorded the best of
support behind them. While Gilliland
has not been so successful, he has vet
shown that he has the elements of a great
pitcher in him. He is young and his
pitching is inclined to be erratic. He has
hitherto depended to considerable ex-
tent on an experienced catcher to coach
him and is handicapped without su CHI
man. He is, however, under favora BILE

the young pitchs-ss ability as pool player.
He says:
The coming of Winfield Scott Camp. the North
Pacific find of the Pittsburgs, created q furors
in the ranks OF the Keystone players. For many
moons "Calliope" Miller and St. Jacob Beckley
have divided the honors as the champion pool
players of the team. The other morning at the
Gibson young Camp, who is rather a raw boned,
rustic looking young fellow whose frame has
not yet been filed out by Papa Time, accepted
an invitation of the Calliope's to play a game.
The little man with the sawmill voice winked
his other eye chalked his cue and prepared for
the slaughter. When young Camp got through
pocseting the ivoriss after his first shot there
were not enough balls left to hang over your
uncle's door, Several games were plsyed and
Camp won them.all

youngsters observation to Miller. "Never
mind" responded the astounded Calliope. "I'll
be with you and ahead of you in a few mo-
ments."
But he wasn't Camp scored q clean row of
wins, and Miller put his cue back in the rack,
outclassed and nonplussed. Some time after
that big Jake Beckley, the slugging first base
man, dropped in, and President Temple, by
little diplomacy, got the two together. "Beck"
commenced confidently, but he found the West

Pittsburg club is no longer in dispute. Young
Camp will defend the title hereafter.

he and Smith organized the Wisconsin
State League, and Fitzpatrick was one of
the umpires in that association. Last fall
he OBLIGATED in the series of games be-
tween st. Louis and Milwaukee for the
championship of the West. He has not
gone out this year because his work on the
stage pays him so much better. He has,
however, an application filed for posi-
ton as umpire in the Pacific Northwest
League. and may be found at work with
the indicator before the season closes.
For man with but one leg, Fitzpatrick
gets about with astonishing ease and
duickness. While umpiring he uses only
one crutch, and handles it so well that he
is always at hand on close base decisions.
He has no trouble in avoiding wild pitches
and foul tips that pass the catcher, and
has never yet been hurt on the field. He
is fine athlete and mis- trick work on the
bicycle is wonderful. He is also fine
roller skater and pedestrian, and in the
latter role won the one-legged champion
ship of America on November III, 1891,
from Harry feathers, at Minneapolis.
The distance was three miles and kilpat-
rick covered it in IL minutes and as Sec
onds. His last mile was made in 3d.
The one-legged umpire is q great en-
thusiast on the national game, is well
posted on its history and brimfui of anec-
dotes of its players on and OFF the field.
In talking with a PosT-lNTEILEGENcER re-
porter of his experiences last season,
while umpiring in the Wisconsin League,
he said:
There probably never was league where the
excitement ran so high as it did among those
Wisconsin towns. The league started out with
$50 salary limit. but that didl' last long. The
clubs began to strengthen, and to most OF them
money seemed 10 be no object. rich lumber

THE THREE FISHERS.

Three Fishers went sailing out into the west,
Out into the west as the sun went down;
Each thought of the woman who loved him the
best,
And the children stood watching them out OF
the town;
For men must work and women must weep:
And there's little to earn, and many to keep
Though the harbor bar be moaning.
Three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower,
And trimmed the light az the sun went down:
And they looked at the squall, and they looked
at the shower,
And the rack it came rolling up, ragged and
brown;
But men must work, and women must weep.
Though the storms be sudden, and waters deep,
And the harbor bar be moaning.
Three corpses lay out on the shining sands
In the morning CLEAN as the tide went down:
And the women are watching and wringing
their hands
For those who will never come back to the
town;
For men must work, and women must weep
And the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep
And goodbye to the bar ard its moaning.

The statement in some of the papers of this
section concerning George Tebeau's great record
as a third baseman are altogether incorrect.
He never played the position in professional
company. His reputation was made in 1856
with Denver as pitcher and outfelder In 1887
he went to Cincinnati AID gave up pitching en-

yesterday at West Seattle. The game was
cut short in the sixth inning by rain,
when the score stood IL TO l. The feature
OF the day was the pitching of Coffman for
the Ewings, he allowing his opponents
but a single safe hit and striking out nine
OF them. Mcconnell also pitched well for
the visitors, but five hits being made off

He Handles the Indicator and Makes
Decisions With the Best of Them.

An interesting figure in baseball is
Charles G. Fitzpatrick, the one-legged UNI
pire, who is now filling an engagement at
trick bicycle riding and clog dancing at
Cordray's theater. He is known all over
the country not only as an umpire, but as
a successful organizer Of miuor leagues.
Fitzpatrick is a native of Danville, ILL.,,
where he was born in 1867. Nine years
ago he lost his right leg in railroad acci-
dent. Although he has given the most of
his time for the past four or five years to
baseball he is printer by trade and a
member of the Danville Typographical
Union. In 1889 he did his first profess
sional work at umpiring with the Illinois
Indiana League. In 1890, in company
with Harry T. Smith, the Hustler" he
