AMUSEMENT OF DEAF MUTES.

The Interpreter Put the Laugh on the
Right Side.
Ono Of the particular pleasures of
deaf mutes is to learn what others
are saying about them, and for this
reason they always like to have an
interpreter along when there is a
party Of them together.
A very interesting affair took
place on a street Car that carried q
party of deaf mutes from the school
to the railroad station. They were
going to see one of their schoolmates
off to her distant home. There were
two Interpreters in the party, but
they kept their voices to themselves,
so that it wasn't long until the other
occupants of the car became satisfied
they were all dummies and began
talking about them in a free and
easy manner.
OF purse the interpreters reported
everything that vas said, and it
kept the little party in an uproar of
delight. Gould the takers have read
the signs that were being made by
supple fingers and mobile faces they
would hardly have had any
for aelf congratulation.
Two young ladies in the a seem
ed to think the mutes real funny.
At first they spoke in low tones, but
when assured that the funny people
couldn't hear they began to talk out
loud.
why. he doesn't seem to mind
being deaf at all, does he?" said one.
mo. Not a bit. And he doesn't
look as if he couldn't hear, either,

Then the fun began. The rapid
Interpretation of this conversation
to the nutes by the subject of it
was sufficient to convulse them, and
the interpreters reputation as a hu-
morist was thereby established. The
talk continued. The conductor, too,
became interested and discussed the
mutes as freely and philosophically,

others, that they had ears, but heard
not. Even the face of the fare indi-
Gator was overspread with a smile,
but it was mute.
"See, isn't he funny?' said one.
"How he makes them laugh" said
another.

fun for the entire five mile ride, and
they were soon to be told this in q
shocking manner. When the Car
reached the point at which the mutes
wished to alight, their spokesman,

With such farewells the mutes and
their escort took their departure.
This is only one of a great many
such experiences that hearing per-

the deaf. 1t is also an example of a
joke upon the people which the
mutes thoroughly enjoy.-Pittsburg

WHO WILLSAY NAY
The levee the Great Question
Of the Hour.
ALDERMEN EXPECTED TO ACT,

No Valid Reason Why the Ordinance
should Not Repass In Order That We May
Know the Cost aud Who Is to Pay 1t
No Time to Stop Now.
1t is expected that the aldermen
will act on the river front improve
ment ordinance tonight. The ques-
ton will come up on the mayors
veto, and it will be the duty of the
council to either sustain the execu-
tive's antipathy to public improve
ment or repass the ordinance over
his head. There are enough votes in
the council to support the latter
course, but there have been aoy
mum Der of schemes in the air to pre-
vent action, one being to avoid the
matter coming up a. all and thus
prolong the Indebtedness, and anoth-
er to keep some aldermen who are
own to be favorable to 1t from be-
ing present. This latter alternatis {
is attributed to the ferry company,
but The Argus i not ready to at
tribute to that company such q
shameful breach Cf faith. The ferry
company pledged $4,000 to the i'm
provement last spring when the or
dinance OF a rival company was be-
fore the council, on condition that its
exclusive franchise be renewed. The
condition was accepted. The Daven-
port & Rock Island Ferry company
has had a golden harvest this sum
mer and no one begrudges it. as it
has provided splendid service dur
ing the suspension of bridge traffic,
| but its revenue on Labor day alone
was sufficient to pay for the entire
| improvement of two or three river
fronts. When it was fight between
two ferry companies the aldermen
could not be blamed for siding with
what appeared to them to
be for the best interest Of
the city, but it is now not
a contest between corporations. The
city's interests are at stake, and there
is no other side to it. AS far as
