SUCCESSFUL DEAF MUTES.
There Are Nearly Thousand and They
 Have FIourishing Club.


 MT. 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 colony of something like thou sand deaf mutes in Chicago, many of whom occupy important positions. One of them is a lawyer of high standing, another is chemist and assayer of the National Smelling and Refining com pany, another is head bookkeeper in wholesale grocery house, another is president of land association. Be sides these the silent people" in Chi cago -4o scdv.cru, ,lnong the trades, including shoemaking, cabinet work. wood carving, baking and typesetting, There are quite number of compos- itors, the majority of whom work on the weekly trade papers. Until the adoption of the typesetting machines the deaf mutes were web represented among the morning papers, but now there is only one setting type on a morning paper and none on any of the evening papers. Heretofore a large number of the pupils at the deaf and dumb institutions have learned the printing trade, but since typesetting machines have come into such general uss the authorities have discouraged entrance into this trade as much as possible, although it is one which pre- sents 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 organization were taken twelve years ago at picnic of deaf Eutes 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 pienics in the summer. Balls are given frequently. The most brilliant function of this character was that which took place at the Grand Pa eifc hotel three years ago, where four hundred people were in attendance.

ABSURD STAGE DEATHS.
Nature Outrageously Violated Instead of
 Being Shown a Mirror.

Nature Outrageously Violated Instead of
 Being Shown Mirror.
 A French dramatic critic, with some show of medical knowledge, represents that nearly all actors and actresses outrageously violate nature in their limitations of death, says the Baltimore Gazette. He cites, in corroboration of his charge, the customary theatrical death of Camille, in the younger Du mas favorite emotional play of that title. According to the author, his heroine is affected with pulmonary con sumption, and an incidental attack of hemorrhage of the lungs extinguishes her life. There is absolutely nothing dramatic to be made out of this mode of dying, if fidelity to fact be obeyed. The gushing of stream of blood from the mouth would be realistic, but the imitation of such phenomenon is never made by actors, male or female, nor would any discreet manager tol- crate such a piece of stage business. Again, the overwhelming suffocation which produces the rapid death in Camille's case is never accompanied by convulsions, such as her dying repre- sentatives on the stage almost always assume. In natural death from this cause the sufferer simply collapses from failure of the vital powers.
 Theatrical poisoning scenes are also usually untrue to nature. It is popu- larly believed that when fatal dose of laudanum or morphine is swallowed the victim immediately sinks into a deathlike sleep, as is commonly seen on the stage, whereas the first effect of this poison taken in like quantity is in- variably to excite and enliven. Nor is the mode of dying after the hackneyed cardiac stage stab in conformity with the laws of nature. The actor simply falls at full length, or in heap, where as the everyday member of society gives spring when the heart is struck before entering eternity by this un- happy gate. Even the modern Othello has not inherited enough of Shakes peare's wonderful fidelity to truth to die naturally after stab through the heart.

A MORAL AND NICE BOOK.
What a Young Lady Thought of the New
 Testament.

It was once the good fortune of a Harper's Bazar writer to read, in the island of Fayal, letter just written by a young lady of Portuguese-English birth who had been reading the New Testament for the first time. It was worth while to see such a letter, for many persons must have felt, first or last, with Thoreau, that it would be a delightful thing for anyone to cncoun- ter those wonderful narratives as fresh discovery, in maturer years, apart from all the too familiar associa- tions of Sunday school and sermon
 Such, as any rate, was this young lady's experience, and her statement of the result was at least a little astonish- ing She wrote, ln her haif-foreign English, to an American friend in these words. "Dld you ever happen to read a book called the New Testament? If not, advise you to do so. l have just been reading it one of these days, and find it very moral and nice book"

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property.

The fact that Judge Bigelow
couldn't get a second for his gold
standard amendment in the cOuven-
ton yesterday, except by special re-
quest, was a hard rap.
In one Of his speeches, Mr.. Bryan
spoke of lifting silver to the gold level
by free coinage. Gov. Boies in a re-
cent speech said that CHEAPER money
is best for the people. because it tends
to raise the price of products. The
GlOhe-DemOcrat imagines it sees a
great discrepancy in the two state
ments. They are precisely alike. Io
Ia Sc silver to a parity with gold means
simply tO take the present outrageous
appreciation away from gold, and by
doubling the volume of money, to make
! property worth as much as money.

THREE GOOD MEETINGS
The Water Company Denounced at a
Banquet

Three rousing meetings We're held last
night by the voters who are interested
in seeing the union municipal owner
ship ticket elected.
Banquet hall, on D6wney avenue. was
filled to overlooking with the tax-pay-
ers of the First ward and a number of
good speakers We're on hand.
The peoples candidate for mayor, M.
P. Snyder, was called forward by the
chairman, Alfred Moore jr., and re-
ceived very enthusiastic ovation from
the audience Il the shape of prolonged
clapping of hands He stated his posi-
tion in the local fight in straightfor-
ward, candid manner, and reviewed the
history of the rise of the water COM
pany and its development into tyrannous
monopoly. The facts given by him
proved more than usually interesting.
For instance, he showed how the water
company had gone into the Crystal
Springs scheme to deceive the people as
to its expenditures, while at the same
time, by this very scheme, it was ac-
tualiy robbing the people of the supply
OF the city by cunningly appropriating
more of the water of the river through
Its system of perforated pipes than 1t
was entitled to under it's contract
He explained that the union candidates
proposed to deal honorably with the
water company, Dut when the contract
expired two years hence that would be
the end of the monopoly. His plan
would be to advertise for bids for new
system entirely and then. after OFFERING
to the water company just what it's sys-
TEN would be actually worth, and no
more, proceed to build an independent
system if the water company refused to
come to terms.
John r. Rush, candidate for city at
torney. made a speech that stirred up.
the audience to the highest pitch of en-
thusiasm. He deplored the fact that
this great city notwithstanding its
many advantages, must needs suffer be-
cause of the private control of so i'm
portant a public necessity as a water
service. And then he exposed the AFRO

corporation by relat'n~ an incident that

PRINCE YTURBIDE
Is Not Now Eligible to Club Member
ship Anywhere

WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.-Judge
Bradley of the district supreme court
today refused to grant Prince Yturbide
of Mexico a mandamus to compel the
Metropolitan club of this city to rein
state him in membership. The case
was sequel to the expulsion of Yturbids
for alleged circulation of scandalous
charges against the daughter of men,
ber of the club, to whom he had been en-
gagged to be married. The mandamus
was refused after a two days jury trial
at which the facts in the case were re-
hearsed. The jury, after being out
forty minutes, returned a verdict for the
club
In the course of his argument Mr.. Ber-
ry, counsel for Prince Yturbide, said
that the case involved not only his eli
ents membership in the Metropolitan
club, but the question whether he was
to be barred from every club in the coun-
try and Europe, as well as in his own
native land-Mexico. In making his
charge to the jury Judge Bradley said
the only question for the jury to decide
was whether, at meeting of the board,
he did or did not admit that he had made
such accusations against the lady in
question.

reason for shutting off the water given
by the company was that certain aris-
tocratic club, served, evidently, through
the same particular pipe from which
she had been supplied, had proved care
lessly delinquent. This and this only
was the excuse given by the company's
attorney for depriving the lady of the
water she had paid for. and that legal
light insultingly offered to stand judg-
ment for SO. she to pay the costs of the
suit. This was only one of the numerous
similar instances of corporate oppres-
sion.
Candidate Dockweiler, for city engi-
neer, Workman for treasurer, Frick for
superintendent of streets, Seaman for
assessor Nickel for the council, and
several others on the ticket, were pres
ent and spoke. w. II. Jory made things
lively with some humorous songs, and
toward the close Judge j. N. Phillips
gave characteristic address.
For the Fourth and Fifth wards there
was a very enthusiastic gathering in
Paulk's hall at 1924 West Washington
street Frank Sheidler indulged in con-
siderable satire at the expense of the
Republicans, the hollowness of whose
pretensions to city ownership ideas at
this late day he held up to ridicule.
The other speakers were George w.
Knox, Earl Rogers and S. A. Waldron.
Mr.. Rogers told number of good sto-
ries to emphasize the weakness of the
Republican side in this contest.
Voters of the Second ward assembled
at Bouttier hall, on the corner of Belle
vue and Montreal streets, and had
laugh on their Republican neighbors
who had turned out, too, because of a
false report that there was to be a Re-
publican meeting at the same place. AS
the Democrats and Populists had the re-
ceipt for the hall, the Republicans with
drew shamefacedly and could not be
prevailed upon to accept an invitation
from Candidate Craig to stay and listen
to good doctrine. Before the meeting
closed, Messrs. Snyder, Rush, Workman
and Frick put in an appearance and kept
the meeting we'll occupied until a late
