 Havo a Flourishing Club.

Havo Flourishing Club.
 Mir. Mixes, whose remarkable skill in deciphering badly directed letters at the post office was referred to in the Chicago Tribune the other day, is one of a colony of something like a thou sand deaf mutes in Chicago, many of whom occupy important positions. One of them is lawyer of high standing, another is chemist and assayer of the National Smelling and Refining com pany, another is head bookkeeper in a wholesale grocery house, another Is president of land association. Be sides these the silent people" in Chi cago are scattered among the trades, including shoemaking, cabinet work wood carving, baking and typesetting, There are quite nuEaber of compos. itors, the majority of whom work on the weekly trade papers. Until the adoption of the typesetting machines the deaf mutes were weI represented among the morning papers, but now there is only one setting type on n morning paper and none on any of the evening papers. Heretofore large number of the pupils at the d-,f and dumb institutions have learn.d the printing trade, but since typesetting machines have come into such general uso the authorities have discouraged entrance into this trade as much as possible, although it is one which pre- ssnts no obstacles to the deaf mute, as he is only required to exercise the fac. ulty of seeing in order to do his work properly.
 The Chicago mutes have an organiza. tion known as the "Pas-a-Pas club" which has it's rooms in the building on the southeast corner of Clark and Ran dolph streets, occupying the entire fifth floor. The first steps toward the for nation of this organizat ation were taken twelve years ago at a picnic of deaf mutes in Jackson park. The idea proved popular and the club has -four. ished ever since. Social and literary meetings are held regularly in the win tertime and pisnics in the summer. Balls are given frequently. The most brilliant function of this character was that which took place at the Grand Pa oific hotel three years ago, where four hundred people were in attendance.

MURDERER REcH's CONFESSION
It Is Now Evident That He Buried His
Wife Alive.

It Is Now Evident That He Buried His
Wife Alive.
ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. S.-John Rech,
who strangled his wife and buried her
body in the woods near their home at Els.
telville last March, and who is now I'M
dergoing twenty years sentence in state
prison, made a confession to ex-Sheriff
Smith johnson shortly after his convic-
ton, and it was made public last night
Rech explained to johnson, who was In
office at the time, how he came to tie the
knotted handkerchief found around the
strangled woman's neck There ha d been
more or less speculation over the question
whether the woman had not been buried
alive, but this was not proved at the trial,
although the theory was introduced
Rech says that after the quarrel In the
house which ended In his strangling his
wife with the muscular power OF his hand.
he at once made preparations to hide the
evidences of his crime by burying the body
in the woods. He had dug the grave and
was carrying his victims body toward il
when he felt the quivering signs Of return
ing life The open air had started respira
tlon. Fearing the return of life and its
consequences he laid the body on the
ground and knotted the handkerchief
around the neck. They We're drawn SO
tight that possibility Of breathing was pre-
cluded. He dragged the body toward the
grave and covered 1t with few inches Of
dirt, and then cut down the tree think
Ing to hide the freshly turned ground.
From this statement 1t appears THAI the
theory that the woman was alive when
buried Is true. No doubt exists In the
minds Of those who have heard the story
that If these facts had come before the
Jury Rech would have paid the penalty Of
his crime by FORGETTING his life on the

SUBMARINE BOATS.
The First Was Invented In 1914 by Van
Drebbel.

The First Was Invented In 1914 by Van
Drebbel.
In 1914 Van Drebbel, Dutchman,
built In London submarine boat which
could contain 10 rowers as we'll as some
descended beneath the Thames In the ves.
sci. The inventor Is said to have disoov-
cred liquid possessing the important
property Of rendering the air In the oontln-
ed space under matches suitable for repeat
cd inhalation and thus to prolong the
time which could bs spont under water.
The first submarine boat used In warfare,
1777, was built by David Bushnell, in
Connecticut. 1t was managed by one
man, who could remain 80 minutes under
water. Fulton, New Yorker, made one
to hold eight men, who could be supplied
with air for eight hours under water. The
largest submarine boat yet constructed Is
the Gustav zede, belonging to France.
Her length is 1871 feet, hsr speed below the
surface Is S.e5 knots, and she is propelled
by electricity. On June 2, 1890, Meuten-
ant Isaac Peral, In submarine boat in
vented by himself, travelled for on hour
under water at Cadiz. In 1893 an expert
menbal voyage was mhue WIN a patenG
submerging boat in London dock, and
everything proceeded admirably till 1t was
time to ascend. But then 1t was found
that the suction of the mud at the bottom
of the Thames was superior to the lifting
power, and the occupants were In great
peril, as the air was becoming exhausted.
In this dilemma they hurried around the
little vessel, and thus created enough VI
bration to overcome the suction Of the
mud, and the machinery reasserted its
lifting power just in time to save their
liyea

THE PICTURE STORY.
$0me Valuable Points From an Export

Some ShiuaDle fOintS from an Export
Photographer.
The picture story-that is, the story in
the pictures-will be most impressive, and
consequently most artistic, when 1t pro-
duces, so far as may be possible, the illu-
sion of reality. This reality Is not likely
to be had without sacrifice on the strictly
pictorial side. Room backgrounds, for en-.
ample, have quality in the interest Of
realism that certainly would not BIO sought
In strictly decorative scheme, and In the
posing of the figures throughout my plays
have sought to preserve naturalism at
whatever violence to conventional compo-
sition.
The thing to be remembered here, as In
20 many other avenues OF art, Ia that the
literal Is not always the highest truth.
The most commonplace photograph will
illustrate for us the circumstance that
there are widely divergent ways Of trans
hitting fact. A portrait study, for ex-
ample may he truthful without resem-
bling In spirit another truthful portrait
study from the same subject And even
two efforts toward strict naturalism, II by
different PERSONS must be oolored by the
personality of the artists. This Is rs true
In the tsbleau vivant and In artistic pho
Biography as In painting. The expert in
photography can identify tho work Of DIFF

ly as the expert In painting identifies
varying personalities In that medium. In
fact, one of the phases by which we may

that difference from pictorialism which at

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys.
Ical ills which vanish before proper eff.
forts--gcntle pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis.
ease, but simply to constipated condi.
ticn of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupo of Figs, prompt.
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
ore remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bepe.
fetal effects, to note when you pur.
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep.
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa.
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If Afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most s.sillful
physicians, but if in need of q laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well.informede everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest and is most largely
nsedand gives most general satisfaction
