her there was no danger OF her hus-
band being arrested and told her II she

Tense launched at the witness. A
marked change came over the ex-
preston OF Mrs. Foy. To all the prose-
cutting attorneys questions che an

the first words, ''last night" came out
with extraordinary abruptness. The
attorney for the defense questioned
the witness mercilessly. 1t devel-
oped that the two women were In

A SINGULAR CASE.
A Boy Whose Condition Completely BAT
fies the Physicians,

Boy Whose Condition Completely Baf-
hes the Physicians.
A very singular case is being discussed
In local medical circles. Within the
past week two of the leading physicians
were called in consultation on a case an
parently entirely new to the profession
and for which explanations are not easily
offered. A boy 6years old, whose parents
reside south of this city, one year ago
suddenly lost his speech and hearing.
and after being treated by local physi-
clans it was decided that he would be
permanently deaf and dumb, although
no functional trouble could be discoy-
cred and the organs were apparently
perfect. Within few weeks, however,
his speech and hearing returned as sud-
denly as they had been lost.
Two weeks ago he again became deaf
and dumb. A closer examination than
previously made showed no abnormal
condition of the organs. Every test
known to the profession was made, but
not the slightest defect could DO discov-
cred. However, nothing could induce
the lad to speak, and all noises, however
sudden and unexpected, failed to attract
his attention. A pistol fired close to his
head did not startle him, and he appear
ed unconscious OF everything around
him unless it fell under his sight. When
his attention was apparently engrossed
by the pictures hanging from the walls,
one OF the physicians suddenly jumped
to his side and shouted his name in stem
torian tones, but he gave no evidence of
hearing, and when objects were pointed
out and questions asked he made no re-
Spouse.
A thorough examination was made for
organic trouble, after which the physi-
clans were forced to the conclusion that
it was case of complete suspension of
the faculties of the mind, so far as sound
and speech were concerned. They be-
lieve that the lad can both hear and
speak, but that sound fails to make any
impression on his mind; that pistol
shot, voice or any other sound is con-
veyed to his mind the same as in other
persons, but that the mind has tempo
rarily lost the power to distinguish :,
tween sounds, and therefore no ifnpres-
sion is made upon it. Loss of voice,
they further say, is but an incident to the
loss of power of identity of sound. In
all other respects the child is perfectly
well. No treatment has been attempted
The physicians are inclined to believe
that speech and hearing may return, like
they did one year ago, as suddenly as
they were lost.-Indianapolis Cor. Gin
cinnati Enquirer.

One of the last occurrences on the Fer
ris wheel was the christening of two chill
dren of Mr.. G. R. Rhodes of Chicago on
the last day of the fair. 1t was done
without the knowledge of the company,
which steadfastly protested against such
notoriety. The mother carried chris
tening bowl wrapped in paper and her
2-year-old boy. Ayoung woman took up
a bottle of water in shopping bag and
bore the 3-month-old girl in her arms,
and the officiating reverend gentleman,
DR.. D. F. Fox of Chicago, for once dis
creetly concealed his Bible in his over
coat pocket. Thus they passed the un-
suspecting guard. The small boy was
.christened Harold Wheeler Rhodes as the
car reached the top on her first trip. The
name of Ferris Rhodes was bestowed
upon the girl as the wheel reached the
turn on the second trip.-Chicago Letter.

THREE GIRL TRAMPS.
without Means They Started Out to Beat
Their Way to California.

Without Means They Started Out to Beat
Their Way to California.
1t appears that q number of women
have taken to the road as tramps and
are travelling toward California. They
are said to be honest women who are in
search of employment. There are three
of them who are said to be headed fot
Sacramento, having travelled together
from Portland. They were without
means, and starvation stared them in
the face if they remained in the Oregon
metropolis during the winter. 1t was
decidedly bold thing for women to do
but these three maidens determined ia
get to California in regulation tramp
fashion.
Accordingly they sailed forth and
climbed to the top of the first freight
train they came to, and seating them.
selves on the edge of a box car they al.
lowed their feet to dangle along the side
and waited for the locomotive to roll
away. 1t is said that brakeman who
was running over the top of the train
was so paralyzed with establishment
when he saw the petticoated tourists
that he almost fell overheard.
"Where are you going, my pretty
maids?" he politely asked and CALAMITY
lifted his hat.
The girls told him plainly that they
were going to California; that they had
no money to pay their fare, and that they
did not propose to be put off the train.
None of the train crew interfered with
the women. At various stations the girls
went about and begged food. At one
place, it is reported, tramp insulted one
of the women, when the three sailed in
together and gave him trouncing that
he will remember for many and many
day.-San Francisco Examiner

October Strawberries, White BIackbirds
and Albinos In the Nutmeg State.

october Strawberries, White Blaclsbirds
and Albinos In the Nutmeg State.
This has been the latest, warmes6, most
blooming autumn for many years in this
state. There had been no severe frosts
until this week. and the orchards were
fragrant with unreasonable blossoms on
peach, pear, apple and plum trees, and
the fields bright with dandelions, violets
and other wild flowers. There were also
strawberry and raspberry blossoms, and
a farmer of neighboring rural town
picked luscious ripe strawberries and
raspberries in his garden day OF two
ago. More wonderful still, Norwich
gardener, Charles H. Miner, got mess
of fine green corn in his garden on Oct.
81. 1t was the latest green corn proba-
bly, in the whole record of the Nutmeg
State. On the same day Engineer Henry
j. Adams of the Norwich and Worcester
railroad picked a bouquet of wild roses
and buds by the roadside in Greeneville,
in the outskirts Of Norwich.
A great number of albinos have been
shot by hunters in this county this fall
There were several pure white black
birds and crows, white robin and two
-albino red squirrels. A milk white robin,
with pink toes, raised family in nest
in shade tree in front of the Congrega-
tional church at the borough of Stoning-
ton, on the seashore, and recently mi
grated to the south. No one molested
her or her nest. Her young were of the
color of ordinary robins. The strangest
albino freaks were killed recently by
hunters in the forests among the wild
hills about Middletown. They were per
fectly white gray squirrels. with beauti.
full pink eyes and claws and great
flowing tails as beautiful as white
plumes. -Norwich Special.

Arkansas.

The Little Rock Gazette has got every
body mixed up by bringing forward a
new pronunciation of the name Arkan-
sas. No one but Englishmen or Bosto-
mans pronounce the word as it is spelled
1t was understood that the legislature of
the state some years ago officially fixed
the pronunciation as Arkansaw. Here
comes The Gazette, however, with a
poem entitled "My Happy Little Home
In Arkansas" in which the final syllable
of Arkansas is made to rhyme first with
"fow" and then with "below." This
indicates that the native pronunciation
of the name is not Arkansaw but Arkan-
SOW, and we are at sea again. The Ar
kansawyers or the Arkansowers should
settle this matter once for all. 1t is be-
coming puzzling and annoying. Per-
haps Mr.. Opie Read, the Arkansaw
Traveller, could put an end to the dis
pute.-Chicago Herald.
