SPEAKING TO THE DEAF.


A Mistake Is Often Made In Trying to
Enunciate Very Plainly.
Many people, and 1 am sorry to say
some teachers of the deaf, fail to realize
in 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 a 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-
feotly 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-
son speaking is not aware that he is be-
ing understood in that way. have in
my acquaintance young man educated
wholly by this method who travels a
great deal and picks up acquaintance
on the steamer or on the train just as
people do who possess all their faculties.
have in mind also a congenitally
deaf girl Of IA who is not considered
unusually bright, yet whose speech is
clearly Ineligible to strangers after
the first ten minutes, who is intelligent
on the topics Of the day, and whose
larger and more conversational roper
tory is much larger and more entertain
ing than that of many young ladies of
90 and over that have met in metro
politan society. John Dutton Wright

OSHKOSH, Wis. Sept. 2S.-There are
people here who believe that the miss

is being harbored somewhere In the
outskirts of this city.

petition along the lake shore came
upon woman who regarded them
closely. Two Of them. Albert thinner
man and George Pfitzer, thinking the
woman a resident of the farm, asked
her for permission to pick some nuts.
She replied that 1t was not her land,
that she was merely visiting there I;
that her home was in Chicago and her
name was Luetgert that her husband
was butcher, and that she had fled
from home because he threatened to
cut her up. She is alleged to have
stated further that her husband and
his agents were searching for her, but
that her friends would not give her up.
The woman was about Mrs. Luet-
gert's height and weight and wore .
blue dress and white apron. The boys
reported the case in town and q police
man who went to investigate found
only that strange appearing woman
had been seen in the neighborhood. She
had talked to no one except the boys.

The Dons Protest That Everything Is
Lovely.
MADRID, Sept. 2S.-The United States
minister, General Stewart l.. Wood
ford. has paid visit of courtesy to the
Spanish premier, ;eneral Azcarraga.
Several of the newspapers of this city
allege that General Woodford has said,
in interviews with their reporters, that
the negotiations between the United
States and Spain on the subject of Cuba
have not begun, and that he has only
had preliminary chat with the Span
ish minister for foreign affairs The
general is quoted as having added that
he found the Duke of Tetuan to be a
most amiable and able man, and that
no ultimatum to Spain was delivered,
as that country would not put up with
it, and because the intention of the
United States was only to offer its good
offices in the most friendly terms.
Secretary Sherman still, according to
the interviews in the Spanish news
papers, desires a prompt solution of
the Cuban question by November at
the latest, as he fears the Limoges"
will make themselves heard ON the re-
assembling of congress.
Finally, it is alleged, that General
Woodford has said that in the event of
complete accord being established be-
tween Spain and the United States,
the latter will take measures to sup
press filibustering.
