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, aud 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
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 a 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 acquaintances
on the steamer or on the train just as
people do who possess all their faculties.

The Escape aud Recapture OF Noted
Counterfeiter.

Counterfeiter.
ROME. n. Y. Jan. 2.--Counterfeiter
Anthony Eckes who escaped from a Unit
ed States marshal here on Tuesday morn
ing while en- route from Buffalo to Alba
ny for trial, was captured by Deputy Kane.
The train on which Eckes, together with
two other prisoners, was being conveyed
under the charge OF Marshal Kane and
Assistant Marshal Misch was scheduled 80
pass through here at a. IN. without stop
ping. On Tuesday, however, the train
was late and pulled up at the depot for
water instead of waiting until Utica was
reached As soon as it stopped man was
seen to get off the rear of the last car. He
crossed the tracks and disappeared. When
the train reached Utica, "a telegram signed
by Marshal Kane was received by the po-
lice stating that United States prisoner
had escaped from the train and asking
them to look out for him. 1t was not
stated, however, that the escape had been
made at Rome.
The facts in the case are that Kane and
Misch were both asleep when Rome was
reached, as the stop here had not been an.
ticipated. At the time of leaving Buffalo
Eckes was handcuffed to Assistant Misch.
After leaving Syracuse Misch, knowing
that he had quite long stretch between
that place and Utica, unlocked the hand
cuffs on his own wrists. Alisch told the
Rome police that ne had not had any sleep
for 80 hours, and he thought that the ~
miles between the two places would give
him chance to rest. When the train un-
expcctedly stopped at Rome, Eckes simply
walked out. He was not missed until Uti
ca was reached, when Kane and Miscl
were awakened by another Official who
inquired whore Eckos was.
The officials decided to continue to Al
bany with the other two prisoners, who
were handcuffed together
On Tuesday Eckes circlcd around Rome
On Wednesday he went to Churchvillo, sil
miles distant, to the home of Rev Mr.
; Kronch, to whom he related a pitifu
story. He told the minister that he ha(
been arrested on the charge Of counterfeit
ing, but that he was innocent and as tn,
officers could not catch the right person
/ they had arrested him. Eckcs remained a
the dOminie's house for some time. III
begged Kronch to file off the handouts
but this the latter refused to do. Eckes
| however, secured a file with which he man
aged to get rid of the handouts himself
Then he shaved off his luxuriant mus
tache. The clergyman read of the escape
but instead of notifying the Rome polio
he merely ordered Eckes away. Ecke
walked many miles during the next da.
and finally took a train TO Norwich, wher
he was arrested. The marshals who traces
Eckcs were about four hours behind hin
all the way.

was at the start?
