DR.. Mccoy Curing the Deaf.

Miss Miriam F. Lyons. who has been
cured Of deafness by this treatment, tells In
of the joy of bearing again:
Out from the world Of silence,
Peopled only by shades
That move In soundless rhythm
Til their voiceless features fade
Out from the desert dreary,
PeOpled only by fears.
That tiirons the lonely wandrer
Through all his lonely years
Out from a prison gloomy,
Whose walls no cello give;
Out from Its cells SO gray and cold
IT'S punishment to live
From the world and waste and prison
Where the deaf are consigned to dwell,
From the world and waste and prison,
Earth's prototypes Of hell
To the glad new world of voices,
And sounds that long dead,
To the world OF word and song and joy
The Masters skill hath led.

Then DR.. Brown stepped from the ros-

church. A great many were disappointed
at this turn OF affairs, but very few Of
them were members OF the church. Num-
bers Of strangers had been attracted to the
services in the full expectation that DIR.
Brown would insist on exercising what he

INGERSoLL,s DISTINCTION.
Father Malone Denounces the Infld el's
Hatred of COnyeufs.

Denver, Feb. 2-fThe Rev. Father Malone
lectured at the Tabor opera house in this
city today before an immense audience.
His subject was 'Tngersoll'' The main
line OF argument OF the lecture was devoted
TO showing that Ingersoll In his many at
lacks on Christianity is fatty contrad.cted
by the teachings of all modern infidels, Of
whose writings he was accused OF being
ignorant or OF falsifying and concealing
them from his auditors.
The reverend father was interrupted and
asked II the teachings of Ingersoll In re-
gard TO Catholic converts and on certain
other matters were not true To the former
Father Malone replied: "All patriotic and
honest citizens must regret the formation
of parties having for their object the pro-
mitigation OF intolerance. the spreading
OF unjust accusation and charges which
have no foundation but calumny and big
otry. The attacks made upon the religious
orders of women in the church, women
whose lives are devoted TO the welfare OF
suffering humanity, are the outgrowth of
ignorance or malice. The present wave
of religious bigotry. much of which finds
expression IN the un-Christian and mali
cious utterances against the sisterhoods OF
the country, has had no more potent fac
tor in its development and spread than
Robert c.. Ingersoll. In season and out OF
season, in village, hamlet and city, he has
uttered malicious insinuations against the
converts OF this country. He has inspired
the fanatics and bigots who have banded
together against Catholics to make the
foolish and idiotic demand for the opening
OF converts TO the public Inspection OF the
Iecherous Weak-minded men have Joined
the vicious In their demands. SO that in
Justice and wrong have been wrought
against the innocent.
Robert G.. Ingersoll was among the very
first OF the present generation TO engender
hv suggestions and Institutions hatred or
Catholic converts and their inmates in the
minds OF many Ingersoil would have his
hearers forget the work done by these no
HE women at the bedside OF the diving and
in caring for the orphans. as well as for
the poor soldiers IN the field of battle. He
has urged on the relentless blgot who
would open the sacred precincts OF the
converts TO the vulgar gaze OF depraved
creatures in this regard Mr. lngersoli
has A distinction that IL peculiarly his
own. No honest man would rob him OF his
honor"

BURNING SHIP SEEN.
Thought to Be British Bark
Nineyeh, From Moodyyille.
SHE WENT TO SEA LEAKING.
Tho Belief Is That She Became Water
logged and Was Abandoned aud
Set on Fire by Her Crew.

There is very strong probability that
the British bark Nineyeh, Capt. Bradfoot,
which left Moodyville, B. c., lumber laden
for Sydney, Australia, has been lost. Capt.
Munson, OF the barkentine Modoc, which
vessel was towed into Port Blakeley on
Saturday night, reported to Capt Morrison,
of the tug Magic, that he passed bark
abandoned and on fire on January Is, in
longitude 127 degrees 30 minutes. latitude
$3.50. She was a large vessel, had double
topgallant yards. and was under short can
vas, having nothing set except her lower
topsails and foretopmast staysails. The
place where the burning ship was sighted
is about eighty or ninety miles of the west
coast Of Vancouver island.
The Nineveh answers to the description
of the abandoned vessel. and there are
other reasons which lead to the belief that
she has been lost. She left Moodyville on
January 10, bound for Australia, but IS re-
ported TO have lain in Clallam bay until
January "a, when she was towed to sea by
the tug Tacoma. 1t is said that at the time
she was leaking badly, making twenty
four inches OF water every four hours. The
suposition Is that the leak gained so fast
that the crew abandoned her, and that she
was set on fire for the purpose of prevent
ing her becoming a dangerous derelict. as
her cargo OF lumber would keep her afioat,
although it would be impossible 70 navi-
gate her after she became waterlogged.
If this supposition Is correct, the proba-
bilities are that the crew in their boats
have made their way to some OF the bay.
on the west coast of Vancouver island an
will be heard from shortly. D
The Nineveh is a bark OF LIZA tons regiSe
ter, and her cargo of lumber was taken G.
owners account. There is an American
bark OF the same name. but OF much small
er tonnage.
The following special telegram from Port
Townsend tends somewhat TO confirm the
belief that the derelict sighted by the Mo-
doc was in fact the Nineveh:
Port Townsend, Feb. 2-There is re-
port here that the ship Nineveh is in trou-
BILE off Cape Flattery. but no definite in
formation is to be had The report is not
credited at the office OF the Puget Sound
Tugboat Company, and that company
would be notified OF anything OF the kind
from agents along the Straits and at the
Cape.
The Nineveh was lowed TO sea on the
night Of January q by the tug Tacoma and
Capt. Bollong says it was a nasty night
outside the Cape and he feared for the safe
ty o. the vessel then.
The tug Tacoma was outside Cape Flat
terry at $50 o'clock this morning and ar
rived here this afternoon, but Capt. Boil
long says although the weather was clear
he saw no vessel outside. A westerly wind
has been blowing for the past two days
outside and the ship could easily have
spread her canvas and come inside the
Cape during that time.
