SPEAKING TO THE DEAF.

A Mistake Is Often Made In Trying to
Enunciate Very Plainly.
Many people, and am sorry to say
some teachers Of the deaf, fail to realize
lin practice at least that speech is not
as clearly visible to the eye as it is audi
BILE to the ear, and think that by speak
ing slowly, word by word, and opening
their mouths to the widest extent they
will render the task of the speech reader
easier. As matter Of fact they render
it all the more difficult. A child in
school may learn to understand teach
er who mouths his words in this man
ner, but this ability is Of no value to
him when he leaves school, Indeed per-
fectly natural. deliberate speech is easier
to understand than the exaggerated
form Of articulation which people are
apt to use the moment they know they
are talking to totally deaf person.
People who depend entirely upon
their speech reading for understanding
others have requested me. when intro
ducing them to strangers, not to say
that they were deaf. because they find
it easier to read the lips when the per-

WHY 1T WAS HOT.

The Hash Epicu.e's Initial Experience
), with = Chafing Dish.
81 had heard of chatting dishes for
years, = said Smiley Williams, ssbut the
one saw for the first time foored me
completely.
81 never thought much about the
blamed things, hut somehow I supposed
chatting dish was some sort Of concern
that they grated things something
that rubbed together aud mashed things.
"The other night, though, Bolton
and went into a Madison street res
taurant for dinner. You know always
have sneaking liking for hash of any
kind, and SO does Bolton. Bolton order
ed turkey hash for two, and the waiter
brought it on in swell sort Of silver
dish nearly as tall ais cake basket. It
had tight cover. and when we opened
it it steamed like 40 horsepower boil
er blowing of.
81 loaded up Bottoms plate, and in
the first pass at it he took the skin off
his tongue, it was SO hot.
Just like these Internal places,
Bolton growled. Anything you We got
to eat is blistering hot. while coffee is
always stone cold.
"After awhile Bolton took some more
hash and burned his tongue again.
Holy Moses, he said, what's got
into that hash?'
81 told him nobody was expected to
know anything about restaurant hash,
especially the fellow who was eating it,
but he wasn't satisfied.
"Well, we kept on eating hash until
we had enough. And do4you know that
hash left in the dish was hotter than it
was at the start?
.''Well,' said Bolton. i wouldn't
have believed my eyes, but with most
Of the skin off my tongue I've got to
give it up. Then he called the waiter.

THREE HUNDRED PosToFFICEs.
Democrats Growing Nervous and
Want Their SpOils at Once.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. I-Many nomina-
tions Of presidential postmasters are pend
ing in the Senate for confirmation. and
the Democrats who are thus kept out OF
their salaries appeal in vain TO senators or
representatives TO help them. In fact 1t
looks very much as if none of these gen.
tlemen would be started on a four years
term in a lucrative office, paying anywhere
from $1,000 TO $1,000 a year just upon the
eve of an incoming unfriendly administra-
ton. Perhaps some of the Republican SEN
ators thought of this. and rejoiced when
Senator Wolcott crossed the seas to wrest
an international monetary agreement from
John Bull and others, who have not the
slightest notion OF any such agreement.
Senator Wolcott is chairman of the COM
is quite certain he will not be here soon TO
call a meeting OF that committee. Besides.
other members of the committee are away
in the West, looking cut for their personal
interests in a fight for reelection. The
pending nominations number about three
hundred. and one Republican senator. from
whose State about fifty OF them come. re-
was very much afraid they would not be
acted on before the 4th of March, when.
of course, Mr.. Mckinley would have 10
make new nominations. The Senate cannot
act on these nominations unless the COM
mittee reports them; and, as no quorum OF
the committee is at present in the city. 10
say nothing of the absence of its chair
man. the prospect Of confirmation of these
eleventh-hour nominees is, to say the least,
not flattering.

SHOTGUNS AND BALLOTS
FOUR MEN WOUNDED DURING A CITY
ELECTION IN GEORGIA.
Town of Byron in state of Riot
Caused by n Feud Between Two
Political Factions.

AMERICUS, Ga, Jan. 17-For over twen-
ty-four hours the village of Byron. in
Houston county has been in a state of riot,
in which four men, Me rs. c. C. Richard
son, c. l.. Bateman, &. =. Bateman and r.
II. Baskies. were shot and others held in
terror. The trouble e~ew out of an elec-
tion for municipaf oIGices held two weeks
ago. which resulted in a tie, the town di-
vidng into two bitter factions, and charges
of fraud being interchanged between the
leaders. A second election was called for
yesterday TO decide the contest, in which
every voter was brought up to the polls,
not a change taking place in the political
alignmentS, thus causing fear of a second
tie which was actually the result The
leaders of the factions were Charles il,
Bateman and c. c. Richardson. Unfortu-
nately they approached the polls at the
same moment when a personal collision
took place, in which shotguns were pro-
duced. Their followers made a rush home
FOR arms and in q few moments the village
street presented a Warlike scene. The tele-
graph operator who was a woman aban-
doned her key in terror, and thus for hours
the outside world was cut off from COM
municatiOn. The arrival of the sheriff
about dark restored comparative peace. but
at D. m. the trouble was renewed and at
the ringing Of the school bell the entire
population was once more In the street
The sheriff succeeded in establishing his
authority, but the feud, now started espe-
cially since the election has to be held over
again, is looked on as one TO result in
further bloodshed.

CHESS PLAYER BACKS DOWN
Amos Burn, of Liverpool, Afraid to
Go Against ShoxYaIfer

LONDON, Jan. 17.-Amos Burn. the I,iv
erpool chess player, who. according to in
formation received at the British Chess
Club. has refused to play in the proposed
cable match between Great Britain and
America, on Feb. IL or 13, has been severely
criticised in London and provincial chess
circles. Inasmuch as Burn has ALWAYS
posed as an amateur it is all the more in
comprehensive why he would not support
the Britishers in the coming match. He
played on the second board last year. when
he was beaten by Showalter, and as Black
burn has already promised to play on board
No. ! against Pillsbury this year II was
thought Mr.. Burn would consider ii his
duty to try to regain his lost laurels against
Showalter this year. Anybody versed in
matters pertaining to chess knows what a
difference il makes to a whole team when
strong player like Burn refuses to play.
and 1t is therefore generally expected that
the Liverpool man will be morally COM
PEELED to take his place on the team beaten
partly through the defeat administered to
him last year by Showalter.
1T Will be all the more disastrous to the
Br1tiSherS. as neither Bird TinSley nor Lee
are thought strong enough for players on
the British team, and as things stand for
the present they have only one player OF
namely, Blackburn. Mills, Trenchard Ja-
cobs. Atkins. Blake. Jackson and Others.
VINO VIII nave TO play amateurs,
rank only secondary to men of interna,
tional fame; and it is therefore believed
that the Britishers will scarcely be able to
fight with success against Pilisbury Sho-
walter, Barry. Burrille, Hodges Hymes
and the rest of the strong American team
Sr George NewSnes, Ire ident OF the Brit
ish Chess Club, is said TO be very much
interested in the match and the getting
up of team, and he will use all efforts
towards securing Burn. Whether or not
he will succeed is the one question now
under discussion at the British Chess Club

ative of Governor Bushnell, whose name
cannot be used for obvious reasons, makes
the statement about the authenticity of
which there can be no doubt, that Governor
Bushnell in so many words stated to him
that he would not appoint Marcus a. Han
ma TO the prospective vacancy in the United
States Senate. The Governor and the rel
ative mentioned had quite talk on the
subject, and the Governor gave him to un-
derstand that Hanna's name could not be
considered for the place at all. The rel
ative further along stated to local news
paper man that there was no doubt what
ever of Governor BushnelIs desire to go 10

very ambitious politically, and that the
present situation afforded him an oppor-
tunity to crafty a long-eherished wish TO

In connection with the above n number
of Governor BushnelPS friends are openly
requesting him 10 resign as Governor and
then let Lieutenant Governor Jones, who
would be his successor, appoint him SEN

that he has always courteously declined TO

gued that if there were no objection TO
