Rev. John Chamberlain of New York
assistant general manager of the church
mission to deaf mutes was present at the
services of ST. Michae's church last Sun
day, held service in the sign language for
the deaf mutes of Brattleboro, and gave a
brief account of the origin and work of
this department of the churchs mission to
"the children of silence" The general
manager of the society is the Rev. DR..
Gallaudet of New York. He is the son of
the founder of the Hartford asylum for
the deaf and dumb. His mother was
deaf mute. After entering the ministry
of the Protestant Episcopal church about
the year 1850, he organized Bible class
in st. Stephens church, New York, out OF
which grew St. Anne's parish of that city,
where, under his rectorship, over 100 deaf
mutes became communicates, and regular
services in the sign language were conduct
ed. In the year 1872 the present mission
or organization was formed, having its
centre of work in New York under the
approval and direction of Bishop Potter,
the president ex-officio. Certain districts,
covering the entire country, are assigned
to different clergymen and laymen-some
among them being deaf mutes themselves
who hold services in the sign language UNI
| whose diocese they live.
For over % years the Rev. Mr.. Cham
berlain has been acting as an assistant to
| Dr. Gallaudet, holding services in different
portions of New England New York and
| New Jersey, and also engaging in yarie-
ty of individual ministratiOns, visiting the
sick, securing situations for those out OF
employment, attending 10 correspondence,
| etc.
It should be added to this very brief ac-
count of so noble a work as caring for the
deaf mutes, of whom there are over Az,
600 in the United States, that there is also
home for deaf mutes, called the Gallau-
Diet home, on farm some six miles below
Poughkeepsie, n. Y, where inmates are
received, both men and women, who owing
to the infirmlties of age, and having no
friends, and being deaf and dumb, and in
some instances blind, are kindly cared fol-
during the remainder of their lives. When
we remember that our Savior while on
earth went about doing good, unstopping
the ears Of the deaf, loosening the tongues
Of the dumb and giving sight to the blind
we must recognize the fact that in the pro
vision thus made by his church for the un
fortunate ones she labors in the spirit Of
the Divine Master, and will of him re
ceive her reward, and that such charity
appeals to the generous sympathy OF al
Christian people. W. II. C..

Yale and Pennsylvania the Winners.

Two of the greatest foot ball games of the year
were played Saturday, when Yale won from
Princeton, 20 to TO- at New York; and Pennsyl.
vania from Harvard. II to ID, at Cambridge.
Princeton had a team that averaged II pounds
heavier per man than Yale, but the sons of Eli
were more agile. The sensational plays were
BASES run of 60 yards assisted by the interfer-
ence Of Murphy; and Capt. Thorne's run of 80
yards through the whole Princeton team. Penn
sylvania was considered much stronger than Har-
ward but the officials imposed penalties upon the
Quakers 20 times for off-side play and holding,
while Harvard was called down for these acts on
ly four times. Brooke's kicking was a factor in
winning for Pennsylvania. In the first half he
secured goal from field Had Brewer kicked
two easy goals Harvard would have won the game
by single point. As Princeton won from Har-
ward II ~ 4 a few weeks ago Yale viii have
grounds for claiming the national championship
although her team has not met Harvard or Penn
sylvania this year.

A MODEL WIFE.

At the Baptist church last Sunday evening Rev.
l.. d. Temple delivered a sermon on Ruth, the
young woman who makes a good wife," saying
in substance: ITO the young woman life is like the
opening of a new day in a strange land. win the
future bring home and husband. riches or pow
ertys The girl who expects TO make good wife
must be industrious Ruth was not ashamed Of
work. She was willing to CLEAN in a harvest field
when she could find nothing better to do. Girls
who are supporting themselves doing homework
OF working in factories or elsewhere are fitting
themselves, other THINGS being equal, 10 be

gressive She cultivates alertness Of mn5
and is always ready 20 seize opportunities
for improvement when they come. Ruth was al
WAYS lettering her condition Some people think
a woman who does her own thinking is crank
but this is not necessarily so. woman who
does no thinking Will soon fall behind her hus-
band and will, by so much, lose her hold upon
him. Ruth easily made friends. person can
do that only by being friendly. A young woman
may be bright and handsome, but If she has no
hear: she will not be a good wife. A beautiful
spirit makes more friends than a beautiful face.
Ruth was faithful in every situation. She made
good wife to Gillian while he lived. She was
very dutlful 10 her motherln law while the two
kept together. She was very industrious and
modest while she CLEANED in the harvest field. A
girl that has been shirk in her mothers home
will not be industrious in her husbands. VI she
has been an ungrateful daughter she will be a
selfish wife. If she has been lazy and shIftless in
the pay of an employer marriage will not change
her into model housekeeper Ruth chose the
true God as the object of her supreme devotion.
young woman without religion may make a
good wife, but IL is not safe TO rely on it. II a
young man wishes to lay up money, enjoy a
happy home and not be running after the divorce
courts in two years time, my advice TO him
would be to marry none but a Christian girl.
Ruth showed wisdom in choosing the true God.
AS a consequence she became the wife of the
wealthy and GOdfearing Boaz. and from her de-
scended David Soloman and Jesus of Nazareth.
An obscure aud Woodworking girl may develop
into the noblest woman of her time. How Ed
ucation, genius and the influence of friends may
help her along but nothing is more important
than the grace of God and faith in Jesus Christ"

THE OPERA HOUSE DEDICATION

A Brattleboro citizen makes these sug-
gestions as to the best way to open the new
opera house to the use of the public:
Il move, and believe that nearly all the cit
OF the town win second the motion, that the
new opera house be dedicated by some well and
attractively arranged popular entertainment, TO
be carried on very largely, If possible, by local
and volunteer talent, for the benefit of some de
serving local charity in which all our townsmen
and townswomen have a lively interest, like the
Associated Charities, the Home for the Aged and
Disabled the Rural Improvement society. or
others that might be named.
And further venture to suggest that our very
capable fellow townsman, Mr.. n. l. Hawley
would be an ideal chairman of a committee to ar
range and carry through this plan, or to devls-
and execute a better one to accomplish the same
object. AT any rate let the dedicatory exercises
take form that will command the hearty ap-
proval OF all our people. and whose financial re-
suits viii inure, in one form or another, 10 the
benefit Of the poor
tori"
We say they are very good. There may
be, and doubtless are, different ideas as to
how the new house ought to be formally
opened, but plan like this certainly de-
serves favorable consideration, and it
would be sure to receive public approval

a kick, but Stickney blocked 1t and Geo. Willard
fell on the ball. Heaphy made one % yard end
run. In the second half the Juniors made short,
steady gains, Heaphy finally being pushed across
the line for touchdown. The scrub team con-
tanned several strong players, but decidedly weak
places in the line were attacked repeatedly for
gains The Juniors played very snappy game,
and would be able TO down almost any team Of
their weight. The lineup:
