walk making the flakes fly was the
hero of the shoes. He had broken
shovel and was polishing off the walk in
fine style. He caught sight of the lady
at the window, and after waving his tat

Naturally she expected that he would
drop around to the back door for a bite
of something, but he didn't come. He
simply finished his work and went away.
Three times since then he has cleaned

CAN THIS BE TRUE7
In These Days of Pretentious Trnmps
IL Hardly Seems So.

Some singular things do happen in
connection with the prevailing distress.
Here is an incident from Cleveland, o.,
that seems quite too good to be true,
and yet it is vouched for.
A disreputable-appearing tramp called
at an uptown house one morning last
month and humbly begged for pair of
shoes. The lady of the house was won
over by his appeal and his dismal looks,
and hustled up really good pair of feet
coverings.
There" she said. Put these on.
And now, if you want to show your
gratitude, just happen around here
some morning after a snowstorm and
clean off our sidewalk"
The tramp grinned and hobbled away
with the shoes.
Of course, the lady never expected to
hear from him again. But early one
morning she was awakened by ire

4 Machine which Enables Them to
Distinguish Melodies.
1t is acknowledged that all, even the
deaf and dumb, have q vestige of audi
tive power. Sound, which is'a tenn
porary phenomenon, had first to be
registered to be studied. This has beer
accomplished by the photograph. In
order to amplify these registered
sounds that they may be perceptible to
the very deaf, NJ. Dussaud, the Swiss
philanthropist, professor of applied
physics at the University of Geneva, and
deputy to the confederation, has in
vented the microphonograph, which
may be called the first sound micro
scope, or first pair of glasses for deaf
ears. This machine consists practic-
ally of a photograph, on whose MEM
brane has been adapted a new kind Of
microphone. When the receiver is ap
piled to the ear. by gradually increasing
the strength of the current so great an
intensity of the words or airs can be OBJ
tanned that the ear can no longer per-
ceive them without violent suffering.
NJ. Dussaud, by regulating the current,
succeeds in getting persons of different
degrees of deafness to follow, after a
little experience and practice, different
melodies, in which they beat the meas
ure and which they distinguish one
from another. Perception of sound
will render the use of speech CaEIeE

there is no one who does not make use of

nor to turn out in any certain direction, but

vehicles and animals under the charge of

tioable to do SO. A team should in gen

another or not. Yet. when two are going
In the same direction and one wishes to

and cannot be expected to deviate from his

MIR. VESTS PROTEST.
He Crftfciscs the Abolition of Sectar-
Ian Indian Schools.

IAN lnu1un Schools.
The Senate yesterday afternoon resumed
consideration of the Indian appropriation
bill. On motion of Mr.. Gallinger the pro-
vision as to children of white father and
Indian mother was modified so as to give
these children tribal rights on the consent
of majority of the tribe and the consent
of the Secretary of the Interior.
Me-. Vest of Missouri spoke in criticism of
the provision of the bill abolishing sectarian
Indian schools. He knew, he said, that
what he said would subject him to bitter
criticism. He was brought up a Protestant
and had no connection with the Roman
Catholic Church. But he had no sympa-
nent that any religious denomination could
menace cur liberties.
IF l mad control of these schools pro-
ceede1 Mr.. Vest, Il would give them TO
those who have studied the Indians those
who have taken the young Indians from
the tepee, segregated them from their
fathers and mothers and taught them the
religion of Christ, even if the cross is the
emblem of their religion. l would infinitely
rather see them Catholics than savages. I
do not belong to that sect who would rather
see an Indian damned than see him in the
Catholic Church." Mr.. Vest said he would
make no effort to oppose the provision OF
the bill, but would content himself with this
protest.
Mr.. Vest spoke in praise of the Indian
schools conducted by the Catholics, and
said they were accomplishing a great deal
Of good among the Indians.
The bill was not completed when, at :
o'clock, the Senate adjourned until Monday.

THE PACIFIC STATION.
No Significance ina the Recent Naval
Changes There,


1t is stated at both the State and Navy
departments that there is no more sgnifi-
canoe in the detachment of Rear Admiral
Beardslee from command of the Pacific
squadron than there is in the detachment
of Rear Admiral Bunce from command of
the North Atlantic squadron. Each had
been at sea for the allotted limit-two
years-and each is entitled to shore as
signment. If the change of commanders
OF the Pacific station had reference to the
present situation of affairs in Hawaii it
would have been made before Admiral
Beardslee's departure for that island a few
days ago, instead of having it take effect
IN June next. Admiral Reardslee is not to
be retired. as has been enormously stated
by some newspapers. He has been as
signed to duty as president of the naval
examining board in this city and will re-
port for duty June 10
About the same date Rear Admiral John
n. Miller, now in command of the navy
yard at Boston, will assume command of
the Pacific station. The PHILADELPHIA which
Is the flagship of that squadron is now at
Honolulu. and it is probable that the new

is possible. however, that he may exercise
MS privilege in the matter and select some
other vessel of the fleet as his flagship. II
Is likely that he will continue the policy of
having two warshipS near the Hawaiian
Islands while the question of their annex-
alton to the United States is under serious
consideration, and until the immigra tjon
controversy with Japan has been satisfac-
torlly adjusted. AS has been already
stated Admiral Sicard will command the
