AN EXCEPTIONAL ENTERTAIN
Nj ENT.
Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute,
Austin, Tex, Feb. %, 1895

| AUSTIN, lex, Il eD -, 1919.
| This institute, under the excellent man
agement of w. II. Holland, is in a flour
ishing condition. Both faculty and pupils
are in perfect accord. The pupils are very
diligent in their studies and their progress
is satisfactory both to the faculty and the
visitors.
There are two sOcieties-the Philoso-
phian and the Silentia, the former among
the blind and the latter among the deaf.
These societies are managed by the pupils
and are II source of great pleasure and
profit. The Philosophian, at its meeting
on the 10th inst, elected Hon. X. L..
Smith an honorary member; this in recog-
milton of his eminent services in the cause
of education.
Washington's birthday was duly cele,
brated here. The exercises consisted of
prayer by Prof II. b. Fry, the principal;
an Grafton, Washington. by John Milton,
blind; an essay on the life and character
of George Washington by Miss Ella Will
der semi-mute; recitation in signs, by
William Harris, mute; the whole inter-
sperced with music by the institute choir.
The signs were interpreted by Mrs. Il. j..
Holland
The blind young ladies composing the
Magnolia club surprised the faculty with
an original cantata composed by Misses
Graham and Hughes. while the music
was composed by Miss Watkins. The can
tata was arranged for 10 characters, and
was entitled Madam Bergius, the
Wealthy Widow" The acting was excel
lent, the plot well conceived and sustained
The music, especially the choruses, were
particularly fine rejecting great credit on
Miss Watkins, whose musical talent is
almost wonderful. The cantata was rem
dcred in the institute chapel, it being the
first time in three years that that audi
encc room was used for concert purposes,
the superintendent kindly yielding to the
opportunities of the young ladies for per-
mission to use that room, notwithstanding
It was crowded with beds, a condition of
things made necessary by the large num-
Der of pupils in attendance. Too much
credit cannot be given the young ladies
for their perseverance under the limita-
tons which their blindness imposes in
giving us one of the most delightful, sur,
priSing and unique entertainments ever
given anywhere. Nor can we forget that
such an entertainment would have been
but for the patient and thor
ough work of the excellent corps of teach
ers who have charge of the literary and
education of the members of the
club. If these young ladies continue as
they are now advancing they will be of
great service, not only to themselves but
to their race their state and their country

From Incomes.

Collector Ed Kaufman is receiving
income returns at lively rate now, the
mail yesterday bringing in 90 returns
mostly from small corporations, none OF
whom will have to pay any great amount
of tax.
In short, the returns are giving the
demagogues a very black eye, as they
show under oath that the corporations
are not the "blOOd suckers that dem0-
gogues so earnestly and constantly hold
up to their ignorant dupes.
TIME EXTENDED.

received the following, which will be

HOUSE.

| Washington, Feb. 26.--Thc house met
ut II o'clock today.
Mr. Henderson On. O., chairman of the
committee on postotlice and postroads
Immediately called up the conference re-
port on the postotlice Appropriation bill
The senate amendment providing that
railway mail clerks hereafter appointed
| should live somewhere along the route to
which they were appointed, but that
clerks heretofore appointed should not be
required to change their residence, was
the only question in the dispute The
amendment was designed to destroy the
effect of general order $40, issued by the
postmaster general, requiring clerks to
live on the line of their route. After
the order was issued many clerks lived off
their lines; since then 800 have changed
their residences.
Mr.. Henderson read letter from the
postmaster general protesting against the
amendment. AS it was evident that the
amendment would create some debate,
Mr.. Henderson withdrew the conference
report to give Mr.. Catchings an opportun-
ity to present the special order, giving
the day until O'Clock on labor law and
then to the committee on public buildings
and grounds. The special order was
adopted without division and Mr.. Nc
Gam, chairman of the labor committee
called up the national arbitration BILL
entitled "a bill concerning carriers en-
gagged in interstate commerce, and their
employers"
The purpose of the bill is to provide
board of Cancellation, consisting of the
commissioner of labor and the chairman
of the interstate commerce commission,
whose duty ii shall be. when contro-
versy concerning wages, hours of Ia
Dor or conditions of employment arose

CITY IMPROVEMENTS

The ordinance published in the off cial paper this morning requiring the building of sidewalks on East Wash ington street is in line with the pub. lie spirit which seems to pervade the entire city.
 Petitions will soon be presented fol the construction of sidewalks on other streets, and thus the march of progress goes forward.
 The council, as we'll as the people appear imbued with the common de, sire to undertake improvements of the character necessary to build up 8 modern city, for which it is entitled te full credit. In this connection would it not be well, however, to consider the question of admitting other of the ad- ditions and thus increase the taxable value to the extent that bonds may be issued for paving, sewerage, and other necessary public expenditures, calcu- lated to benefit the whole city?

The advocates of the gold standard who have been fondly imagining all along that they were deceiving the people into belief that they hoped for international bimetallism, by use of the term sound money" are begin ming to lay aside the cloak They think they have things fixed so that the National conventions of both parties will declare for the gold standard; If not openly, at least in words so care fully guarded that they can be inter preted that way when the proper time comes; that is, after the votes are counted. How long do these fellows suppose the people will submit to be trifled with? Unless the temper of the masses shall undergo a great change within the next year, they are going to know whether they are vot- ing for a gold standard and industrial slavery or for bimetallism and pros perity.
Arizona republican., 1895-10-20

Since freee coinage of gold does not bring all the gold in the world to our hints for coinage, why should free coinage of silver bring all the silver to our hints for coinage? The gold of Europe is worth just as much there as it is here and the silver of Europe is worth more there than it is here or than it would be under free coinage at 16 to l, because it is already coined there at a ratio of 15 or 151h to l. Hence it is apparent that whatever metallic money comes to our shores must inevitably be gold because it is worth the same as bullion that it is as money, while silver would be worth less as bullion in this country than it is as money in Europe.
Arizona republican., 1895-10-20

Since there is not and never has been any such thing as an interna- tional money what would be the use of an international agreement about silver? Why not have an interna- tional agreement concerning gold? So long as there is no agreement and every nation coins gold at a standard of value to suit itself, why not do the same with silver? If the United States chose to make dollar of 15 grains of gold instead of 25.8, it could make no possible difference in our foreign trade relations, since all our trade balances are settled in bullion, and gold bullion would be worth just as much in London as it is now.

A CHANGE FOR THE PEOPLE.

A special telegram from Washington published in The Republican yesterday announced the fact that the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railways will be compelled to pay 75 per cent of the debt due from them to the gov ernment. As the railroads are not worth 75 per cent of the debt the own CTS may prefer to relinquish ownership to the government. As in the past. it is more probable. however. that the railroads will endeavor to juggle with congress and retain possession without paying the debt. thus robbing the peo- pie while filling their own pockets.
 There is now an opportunity for can congress, too-and the people of the Nation should urge upon their representatives that there be no fur ther delay.
 Either the roads should comply with the requirements of law or the govern ment should take possession-the peo- pie much prefer the latter.
 Let the government take these roads and make an experimnt of government ounorchin If if works well and thara is no reason why it should not. other railways may be added to the govern ment system, and the question of cheap and just transportation rates will then be solved.

THE MAVERICK CASE.

There is a noticeable revival of in terest in the Maybrick case which may lead to the ultimate release of Mrs. Maybrick from prison. The house of commons in it's recent brief session, on the motion of T. P. O'Connor, de- cided on a thorough revision of the evidence.
 Proof of Mrs. Maybrick's guilt, if proof there were, has never been given to the public. She was accused of murdering her husband; and be- cause traces of arsenic were found in the stomach, it was assumed that ar senic caused his death. But that was never proved. The man was known to have dosed himself with a preparation of arsenic for months, so that it is not surprising traces of arsenic should be found in his system.
 Some of the ablest lawyers in Eng 1and notably Sir Charles Russell, shared that opinion. All subsequent Investigation and thought has strengthened the general feeling that a great wrong has been done; and it now looks as if the woman would re- ceive the pardon so long withheld.

This but shows that people should
deal with firms they know to he reli-
able. There are number of well
known firms dealing in furs whom
the people can trust, and one of them
has lately been advertising in the
SIGNAL. Had Mr., Palmer and the
others sent their furs to that firm they
would not have been swindled AL
ways be wary of the offers in these
circulars sent out by persons you
never heard of before, no matter what
the branch of business. They get
your goods sent them at some distant
place and you whistle for your money.
In the IN Utter of securing re lress,
