TRIBUTE FROM POETS.
John j. Jennings of the New Yor

New OK
World, having read the published accounts Of the
trumphs over Deafness, has written the following
lines in comnemorati0n Of it.
Go ask them. and they will tell
How happiness stream'd thro' tears,
When their loving voices fell
Like music upon my ears:
How danced and reel'd with Joy,
And thank'd the God Of bliss,
When again my wife's Il love YOU
heard felt her kiss
How clasped the boy to my breast
And bless'd him, and drank each word
As he prattled the prayer taught him,
And every word I heard;
How the song Of the bird in the cage,
And the buzz Of the chandelier
And the tides of noise In the street,
And the bells ringing loud and clear,
And the tick tick tick Of the clock
And the sounds Of feet in the hall
Swept to my brain emotions
That thrilled my senses all.
And thanks we're mingled with gladness
That back to my love I'd found
My way from the Tomb of Silence
Into the World Of Sound

The Proposed Hospital for Incbrfutes.
To the Editor of The Evorng Star:
We have always found that to insure the
sUo cess Of any important measure or re-
form Is to have it advocated by your ex-
cellent paper. We therefore submit the J.
lowing, which we hope you will kindly in
sert, or give the matter your attention:
Some three week ago we read in The Star
that the committee had reported favor
ably on a bill to establish within the Dis
trict an asylum or hospital for inebriates
measure of such Importance should COM
mand the earnest support Of the communi-
ty. There Is no doubt that habitual drunk
enness in most cases is disease which
should receive treatment as other similar
diseases of mind or body. There are asy-
lums for the insane. Those who have no
Will power whatever to resist the drink
habit are almost as much in reed Of COM
rulsory treatment as those who have en-
tirely lost the use of their minds. The
Kelley Institutes are unavailable for most
such unfortunates, for the reason that they
are too expensive. Besides they receive
or ly volunteer patients, who have no need
to be confined while they try the expert
ment. There are hundreds of young men
in this city of good families who have no
other faults or vices except an uncontrol-
able appetite for strong drink, which, in
some cases, appears to be hereditary. For
sucn there is 10 place in this great capital
of the nation, except the work house, where
they are classod with criminals and have
to wear the stripes" a degradation that
takes from them what manhood they may
have left. Yet they are not criminals and
possibly hot responsible for their conduct
If such are found after treatment to be in
durable they should at least have a place
of confinement that is decent and have the
advantages of wholesome religious and
moral influences. Such an asylum could be
made self-supporting, by providing suitable
employment for each occupant and would
. IA nn only ii.
but an unspeakable relief and comfort to
the many distressed mothers, who are to-
tally without power to aid their loved ones
In such cases. We call attention to this mat
ter for the reason that during the last ses-
sion Of Congress We were informed that
provision for such an asylum had been
made. but from some cause the project was
not carried cut and We fear the present
movement may also result in failure, unless
the matter Is urged.

His Early Practice.

Upon this incident systems Of medicines were
formed; systems part good and part bad; good
enough to encompass the entire ration In their
scope. but imperfect enough to fail satisfy the
Commanding Medical Genius who had founded
them, Doctor Mccoy felt their imperfections too
strongly to glory over what he had produced.
Readers Of this paper will remember that
throughout the years that Doctor McCoy's great
Offices were maintained in New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore, there q record Of cures that
attracted the attention Of the whole world, and
yet, in spite of that, the great physician felt too
strongly the imperfection Of the treatment then
used, to glory in the fame which followed him.

HOME INDUSTRY MEETING.
A Partial List of the Prizes to be
Given Away.

A Partial List of the Prizes to be
Given Away.
The home industry meeting at San
Pedro park next Saturday night
promises to be the best of all, both
in numbers and management of the
crowd. Mr.. G. G. Jannin, chairman
of the floor committee, is arranging
new system for distributing the
gifts. Heretofore the calling of
numbers from the stage has been
unsatisfactory owing to the fact that
the crowds were too large to be serv-
ed in hta way, not over half the peo-
pie being able to distinguish the num-
| bers being called out from the stage.
Another complaint has been that not
enough care was taken by the tick
ct distributors and by carelessness in
equal advantage.
Mr.. Jannin has changed all this,
and at the San Pedro park meeting
there will be several sections of hte
audience numbered separately, and
each section will be supplied with its
gifts independently, thus enabling
the distribution to go forward in ey-
ery part of hte vast audience at one
and the same time. This will save
time as there are nearly q thousand
gifts to distribute not considering
the general distribution of candy for
the children by the Duerler Mfg. Co.,
These prizes will consist of repre-
sentative products of the following
local factories, all of which are feel
ing the good effects of the home in
dustry movement:
The Duerler Manufacturing compa-
nv will make liberal donation of can
dies for the children present.
So far as registered now the prizes
offered are as follows:

added since last term, with anincrease
of $50 seats, making it an eight-room
instead of four-room building, on the
first day 492 pupils applied for en-
rOllment.

was the happiest man in the city
last Tuesday evening, as he was
able for the first time in three
weeks, TO read the election news in
the LIGHT and read with great
pleasure the glorious news
Of the Republican victory in
Maine. He had regained his lost
spectacles and his fishing float.
These had been stolen from him
one somnolent afternoon, and he
had been cropping about our trout
streams ever since, and at one time
was seriously considering buying a
dog ard string, when he was
agreeably surprised at receiving an
express package from New Orleans
on Tuesday. This package con-
tanned the long lost articles. He
says the villains who robbed him
really had some conscience after
all, but he is sorry they had to
walk all the way to New Orleans
before an express company could
be found to trust them for the
guaranteed charges.

The claim is made by the free silver
ites that wheat and silver have travelled
together IN price or value.
But the statistics show that there is
no such intimate relationship between
wheat and silver. They show that with
the single exception Of the last three
years the value of wheat has averaged
higher since 1878 than it did in the five
years preceding that date. The highest
price attained was in 1880, years after
