PROGRESS FOR THE BLIND.
They Ride Bicycles and Can Distinguish
Colors by Touch.

sit is wonderful what can be accom-
plished in the education of the blind said
a gentleman who makes 1t study. "Not
long ago, whiSc in England, / went out to
Crystal palace TO visit the Royal Institute
For the Blind. As drove TO the entrance
] saw DR. Campbell, who is at the head of
the institution, and four of his blind pu-
pills about TO start out on a bicycle ride
through the country. 1t is no uncommon
thing to see blind men riding bicycles in
England OF course they always have one
man who has sight with them TO keep
them out OF any great danger, but they
move along without help, as if by instinct
While MAS there 1 frequently saw groups
Of four or five blind men in company with
man who could see speeding along the
roadways In such a manner that you never
would imagine that they were sightless.
OF course this Is only an advanced form OF
the faculty that enablestSa blind man to
go along the streets unguided, yet without
accident. II seems as IL nature Were kind
to the unfortunates and gave them facul-
ties beyond those we possess. / heard cf
q blind girl who could distinguish the diff
ference between colors by touching them.
This Is quite an advance. There must bc
some subtle influence given out by tho
various colors which the keen sense of the
blind girl is able TO distinguish.
Talking of color, 1 remember hearing
that blind man was once asked to give
his idea Of scarlet. He thought for awhile,
evidently cndoavoring TO find somc way OF
expressing himself, then said, IL is like
the blowing of a trumpet What better
could blind man dor He had no concep-
ton of tho comparison of colors, having
never seen the blue sky or the green grass
or anything with color HIS idea Of scaf-
let was something vivid and sharp, and he
expressed himself as well as he could.
Speaking OF the blind am glad TO note
that the attitude of those who seek to ben
eft them is changing Already the idea
that the blind are poor unfortunatcs, de-
serving our sympathy and charity, has
been abandoned In Colorado and Massa-
chusctts, and these states have taken the
position that the blind deserve no charity,
but should demand education as right
from tho state, not as gift from charity.
These states have taken the blind of the
roll Of charity and haveplsced them In tho
educational department. And this Is right.
The blind do not need our sympathy. They
are children born into the world handi.

NEWPORT, June 16.-Newport's summer
cottages are rapidly filling up and the
fashionable drives in the suburbs and
along the shores are already
well patronized during the az
ternoons by those handsome turnouts
of America. The social gaieties have not
yet begun, however, an exchange OF din
ners and luncheons being about all that
has thus far taken place in that regard.
But the "boys" will soon be home
from college and that will start the
ball. 1t is seldom that any
dances are given before July and few re-
ceptions, but with the advent of the
young "bloods," at whatever time, tennis
and the other popular outdoor sports are
begun, so it can't be long before New
ports summer life will begin.
Profiting by past experience, the Old
Colony Company managers have decided
TO require all visitors to their
new boat, Priscilla, Monday night to
lowed on board. The object OF this is not
to make the gathering exclusive, by any
means, but simply to properly control II;
nobody OF suitable age aud respectability
has been refused ticket, nor will there
be, and each ticket admits Mr.. Blank and
ladies.
Invitations to participate in the Priscil-
las trial trip on Tuesday however, are
decidedly scarce, and will probably con-
tinue to be, at least at the Newport end of
the line.
The annual meeting OF The Herald Pub
fishing Company of this city was held
here this afternoon and rumor has it that
radical changes, both business and edito-
rial. are to result.
Quite party is expected to leave here
tonight to attend the annual meeting Of
the Grand Lodge of Elks, which opens at
Atlantic City, ". j., next Tuesday. Past
Exalted Ruler John Waters, the delegate
from Newport Lodge. says that Brothers
A. b. Cammerford, w. Z. Congdon, WilI-
lam M. Austin, George f. Daniels and
Benjamin III. Richards have decided that
it would be unsafe for him to travel far
away from home alone and will therefore
accompany him. They expect to join the
rest of the New England delegates in New
York tomorrow.
Miss Susan B. Franklin of vassar College
is home for the summer vacation. She is
the daughter of Mr.. William b. Franklin,
and graduate OF the Newport schools.
Mr.. Leland of the Ocean House, Mr..
Roberts OF the New Cliff Hotel and Mr..
Murphy OF Hotel Renaissance are all in
town busily engaged with final arrange
ments for opening their respective houses
I for the Newport season, and all profess
strong hopes OF a profitable business.

Irish Surnames.

There is magnificent sorority in tho
names of MacGiollamoholmoge MacGulsh-
enan, MacOiraphty, O'Dooyarma, O'How-
ley, O'Quiglcy, O'Mulclohy and O'Mul-
moghery. Many Of the names are extinct,
but largo proportion are still in evidence,
and, what is more, in nearly every case
the families bearing them arc to be found
in the same localities formerly inhabited
by them-Dohertys in Donegal, Driscolls
i'm Cork, Mncdermotts in Connaught, Mca-
ghers in Tipperary and O'Sullivans III
Cork and Kerry.
1t is notorious fact that many OF the
families which have come to be regarded
as typically Irish are of alien extraction.
Thus tho Plunketts are of Danish origin;
the Burkos, billions, Roches, Husseys and
all the tribe of Fitz are Anglo-Norman,
while the Mitchells are English. h.-~London

About 8 o'clo OK this morning Mr.
Bayne called the nurse and said he was
suffering, having just had hemorrhage
which had covered his breast with
blood. The purse did everything in her
power TO make him comfortable,
but at 10:16 O'Clock, when she was
absent from the sick room for moments a
shot rang out. She rushed back to find
her patient lying unconscious with a re-
volver beside him and a CHASTITY hole In
his right temple. Medical aid was speed
ily summoned and DIR. Sewers re-
sponded but when he reached the
bedside Mr.. Bayne had breathsd his his
also been called upon, soon appeared
and decided that as the facts
were so evident, an inquest
was unnecessary. He therefore gave the
necessary certificate OF death, self in
fiicted
The news OF the sad event spread rapid
ly, and the Pennsylvania delegation
in Congress being notified,
the Hon. w. A. Stone, Mr..
Bayne's successor in Congress, came to the
house and took charge of the affairs.

here on charge of conspiracy 10 de-

the courts decision on unique point
of law raised by the defence. One person

commit conspiracy. The court sustained

weather man up in the top of the
Federal Building says that the mer-
curry is four degrees less than
that OF Tuesday, when the thermometer
registered 92h degrees in the shade.
The discomfort of today is caused by the

more oppressive tomorrow so the
weather man says and an off shore
wind is predicted, which will make the
seaside less attractive than home. No
cases OF sunstroks have yet been reported.

MATRIMONIAL MATTERS.
