Blind and Deaf, Yet Eho Talks and Writes
 to Perfection.
 There is now in Washington, the temporary guest of Prof. Alexander Graham Bell beautiful little girl who was born blind, deaf and dumb. Her name is Helen Keller, and, though handicapped by the loss of the two most important senses and as yet but thirteen years old, she already shows a brightness of intellect that promises to make her famous as a writer.
 Prof. Bell, who told the thrilling and pathetic story of this second Laura Bridgeman at the recent annual meet ing of the national academy of sciences in Washington, considers the case of Helen Keller as incomparably more re-

HELEN KELLER

markable than that of her sister un- fortunate. He regards her as a won der. both relatively and absolutely. He declares that, handicapped as she Is, she need not fear to be measured in- tellectually with other girls who have had every advantage.
 Helen Keller has not only learned to read by the raised letters and to com municate swiftly by means of the touch, but has actually gained the power of oral speech and can under, stand what anyone says by merely placing her finger delicately on the lips hnd under the chin. Prof. Bell spoke of finding Helen one day in one of the institutions for the blind in Boston, girls who could hear and reading to them.
 Since she has learned to speak one of her delights is to tell stories to her little sister Mildred, and she fills those with the most quaint and beautiful fancies, weaving in all that she has learned in her lessons, or heard from other people, or remembered from past reading, for she never forgets any thing. Helen has already read moro books, including the classics, than most grown men and women.
 It is touching to see the eager grop- ings of this prisoned intellect after the knowledge that the best of us, with all our eyes, are often as far away from as she. During her early years, on account of some peculiar notions of her parents, religious questions were not obtruded upon her. Tn e child at the age of nine knew nothing of God or of Christian teaching. She had at tributed everything in her fanciful way to mother nature. One day, how ever, some over-zealouS woman told Helen lot of things which she be- lieved were necessary for the child's S well-being. The result was that Helen was thrown into a state of great men, tai distress and wrote in her diary that night thoroughly agnostic view ot the subject of her origin, which indi- cated reasoning powers, considering the untaught condition of her mind, ot a high order.
 Helen Keller is to be Prof Bells guest for some time in Washington He has known the little girl ever since she was six years old and loves her dearly. Helen is a fine French scholar and has recently received 9 large price for magazine article.
 F~'. Making Cloth Waterproof. A correspondent asks for recipe
 for making cloth waterproof. There is surely no better method than put ting half pound of sugar of lead ant half pound of alum in a pail of sof water, stirring it often until it be comes clear, pouring it off into an other pail and putting the cloth O. garment into it, to remain there fo
 twentyfour hours. The materia
 should then be hung up to dry withou
 wringing. It is said that garment
 thus treated will keep the wearer ah
 solutely dry in the heaviest rain
 storm; the rain simply hangs in glob
 ules upon the cloth. Waterproof clotl
 is more healthy to wear than rubbe goods.

Aouestion of Fact.

tits interesting to see how politicians
on the higher levels dodge questions of
fact when they think there is a parti-
san advantage to BIO gained. In the sen.
ate debate on the car coupler bill sena-
tor Chandler twitted Democratic sena-
tors for not standing up to their party's
platform declarations on this question.
Senator German, opposing the bill,
replied that the Democratic platform
resolution favored legislation by the
states, not by Congress.
Senator German is supposed to be in
the immediate vicinity when a Demo-
cratic platform is made. He should
know what his party said less than a
year ago. Here is the declaration as it
appears in the Democratic pla torn:
ave favor legislation by Congress
and state legislatures to protect tho
lives and limbs of railway employees and
those OF other hazardous transporsa-
ton companies, and donounce tho in.
activity Of tho Republican party, and
particularly of the Republican senate,
for causing the defeat OF measures ben
cacial and protective to this class Of
wagc-workors."
Tho Democratic platform looks to
Congress and tho state legislatures, and
first TO Congress, for relief. Senator
German Is doing now what the plat
form dcnounces Republican senators
for doing. Our Democratic friends arc
very handy with denunciation. AT this
time they would do well to holp pass
tho coupler bill.

years since he had his lightning rod up

rent from the Republican national con-
ventiOn.

has treated him remarkably we'll though
not up to his own estimate OF his de-
serts. Here is the utrcak of sadness in

INC Protectorate over HawaiI.

There is nothing arbitrary or sensa-
tional in the extension by Minister
Stevens of an American protectorate
over Hawaii. This is shown by the Sc
quence OF events and clearly set forth
in the comments OF the Honolulu Com
aieyciaI advertiser, which says: at was
not an act Of aggression, but OF friendli-
ness toward the Hawaiian government"
The step was taken to preserve the
peace, and taken at the request Of the
provisional government. The provis-
ional government is not only the do
facto government, but it is acquiesced
in by the people and there is no pre-
tenso OF any government in the coun-
try. Tho act OF our minister in the
name OF the United States is therefore
to bo regarded as an act OF humanity.
Ifsubsequent events prove that it is
not necessary or desirable to retain the
protectorate, or to go further on the
line OF the hawaiian request, the united
States may step aside and leave the lit
tie Pacific country to its fate.
In the light of the. best advices the
controlling sentiment Of Hawaii is
strongly in favor OF tho closest identi-
iicatioa with this country that our gov
eminent will grant, This controlling
element is dominated by Americans,
tho closest relations OF the islands are
with the United States and the star Of
their hope rises from the great con-
tinent to thai eastward.
Tho time seems to DO at hand when
this powerful republic can be of great
service to that little country and at the
same time promote its own interests,
and this with no shadow Of wrong to
any nation or any Individual. Such an
opportunity comes rarely to any peO-
pie.

1t was we'll understood that tho OK.
queen Of Hawaii and her friends would

country, which is to be picked up by
