MI Turner dealt at some length in sta
tisties. He spent week or more in look.
ing over the records of the United States
Census, and the number of children of
school age, afflicted with blindness and
deafness within the State Of Virginia, was
an astonishing revelation to the commit
tee.
INTERESTING FIGURES.

presented by Mr.. Turner:
There are in Virginia 1918 deaf-mutes,
and 80 per cent. colored.
There are in this State 1854 blind, of all
ages. of which 55p per cent, are white, and

NO mysetry about it. When the Shaker
offered some time ago to give away bottle of
their Digestive Cordial to any one who. might
call at their New York Office, there was great
rush and great many people thought they
were crazy.
Subsequent events prove it to have been very
clever advertising transaction, for although they
gave away thousands of bottles, it was in the
end profitable nearly every one that. took free
bottle came back for more and paid for it with
pleasure, saying they had derived better results
from its use than from any other medicine
they had ever used.
There is nothing SO uniformly successful in the
treatment or stomach troubles as the Shaker
Digestive Cordial and what is better than all
it relieves at once.

A Royal Skating Time.
1t has been many years since the Fair
Ground pond here has given three weeks
good skating with a thermometer below
800, and on Ice untroubled by SNOW. but it
is doing it now. Crowds have been there
every day and the skating has been superb.
Even the old men are taking hand, and
Commodore Nathan Anderson. a COnfed
crate veteran, up in the sixties, has been a
constant attendant. The young women
skaters are also largely in evidence and
some Of their work is as good as that of
the men.
There have been several accidents on the
pond. On Tuesday last one Of party
playing handy on the ice accidentally
struck Miss Lena Delbridge, skater,
OF the chin. She was made unconscious
for some time. Dr.. Lewis who was on the
pond attended her until she was sufficiently
recovered to be carried to her home on
Sears Hill.
On Tuesday, Emmett Wholey, a son Of
MIR. William Wholey, got an ice-cold bath.
The ice cutters had been at their work,
and MI. Wholey was skating too fast as he
approached the edge, and went in. II e
caught the edges of the thick ice and got
out, but not before his immersion at 28c
had been complete. Last week Jno. N. Opie,
Jr., and Ham. Noon also caught ice baths.

Death Of a Former Well-Known Resi-
dent Of Los Angeles.

Mrs. A. w. Edelman. the esteemed
and honored wife of Rabbi A. w. Edel-
man, died at her late residence in San
Francisco Sept. ~. Thirty-five years
ago Mrs. Edelman came to Los Angeles
from Buffalo, N. Y, and settled in that
then little Spanish village. From the
moment of her residence in this city,
her life was devoted to deeds of charity
and benevolence. Quiet and unassum-
ing in her manner, she sought out the
distressed and suffering, the sick and
sorroWing, and alleviated their wants
and ministered to their sufferings
Every day of her life for thirty-fiv
years had been devoted to the cause of
the sick, needy and distressed. In her
death the poor have lost an earnest
friend, the sorrowing a tender sympa-
thizer, and the suffering a devoted
nurse. In her home life she was the be-
loved care of a devoted husband, sons
and daughters, and shed halo of love
and affection in their sacred circles
The angel of death has kissed her eye
lids into a dreamless sleep that ends in
eternity. The eyes that loved to dwell
upon her kindly face will greet her no
more. The places that knew her gentle
footsteps and ministering hands will
miss them forever, but In the hearts
and minds and memories Of those who
knew her but to love her. her memory
will ever remain treasure sacred unto
death
