BRYAN ANDSEWAl-L GUESTS
DEFEATED CANDIDATES DINE
WITA SENAT OR JONES.
Meeting of the Three Chief Figures IN
the Democratic Campaign was
Not Prearranged.
Washington Post.)


For the first time since the memorable
nolitical battle of last year the three
central characters of the Democratic side
of the contest met in this city yesterday
afternoon. They were Hon. William
Jennings Bryan, Hon. Arthur Sewail,
and Senator James *. Jones, chairman
of the Democratic National committee.
Mr.. BRYAN arrived from New York yes
terday morning and registered at the
Metropolitan. Mr.. Sewall has been III
town several days, on his return trip
from Central America where he mas
business interests of large proportions.
The meeting of the defeated candidates
was not prearranged, neither knowing
of the others Whereabouts until they
shook hands at Senator Jones residence,
915 NJ street northwest where they took
dinner yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Bryan, in company with Senator
Berry. entered n carriage at the Metro
politan at noon and were driven to Sena"
tor Jones home. Mr.. Sewall had already
arrived. Besides the distinguished gen
tlemen mentioned. the other members or
the dinner party were Mr.. James Is.
Jones. Jr., Mr. e. l.. Givens. of the Of
fee of the Secretary of the Senate, and
the ladies of Senator Jones household.
An old-fashioned Arkansas repast was
served, covers being laid for twelve.
The meeting had no political signifl-
canoe, and was purely in the nature of
social gathering.
Mr.. Bryan seems to be enjoying excel
lent health and spirits. He asked a re-
porter of The Post to excuse him from
talking politics on Sunday. The wan,
careworn look that haunted the silver
champions visage during the tension and
of the campaign has entirely dis
appeared, and he is as fresh and ruddy
as youth of sixteen. He reiterated his
denial that he intended visiting Europe
this summer This country is big enough
for me to travel over" he said, 'and
when | shall have seen it from one end
TO the other and met the people of my
homeland | will be content to read about
Europe"
Mr. Bryan left for Norfolk last night.
He will travel to Charlottesville, the seat
of the University of Virginia, where he
will deliver an address tomorrow during
the commencement exercises of the in
stitution.

A LABOR OF LOVE.
(Waynesville Courier


Rev. Fred. w. Wey, rector Of Grace
Episcopal church at this place, has just
completed and shipped very handsome
altar for the new church now nearing
completion at Murphy. The altar is con-
structed of quartered oak, elegantly pro-
portioned and richly embellished with
carvings and symbolical figures and in
scriptions. 1t is a beautifully finished
piece of church furniture, highly polish
ed and finished throughout in most
thoroughly workmanlike manner. Mr..
Wey has wrought patiently ON it for
several months and is naturally quite
proud of his handiwork. OF course it
has been a 'labor of love" to him, and
long after he has laid down his life
work, this altar will stand as memo
rial of his zeal and loyalty to the church.

Methods of Instructing Deaf flutes.

The method of instruction pursued in
the beginning was the manual or sign
method, the one in general use in all
the American schools at that time. The
one now used is the. combined" or
American method This method en-
ableS teachers to reach all grades of
mental ability, and to give to each child
as much instruction as his mental ca
pacity will allow. The school is for the
deaf as class, not solely for the espec
tally gifted among them AS among
hearing children, so among the deaf,
there are various degrees of intell
gence, some possessing brilliant minds
and quick perceptions, while in others
natural dullness and slowness in sez-
ing, and difficulty in retaining, impress
sions from without, are still further
heightened by their infirmities. The
former classes, by reason of superior
mental endowments, soon acquire a
knowledge of written language and ia
cility in expressing their thoughts by
means of it. They moreover seize the
ideas of their teacher in regard to artic-
ulation and take pleasure in learning
to speak and read from the lips. The
latter, on the contrary, master the rudi-
ments of knowledge with difficulty, and
only after the most persevering efforts
on the part of the teacher. Signs are
used by the teacher to illustrate and
impress an idea the more forcibly.
They are used as a means of instruc-
ton, never as an end. They are a die
tiOnary, as it were, for the deaf pupil,
until he has acquired a vocabulary suf-
ficient to be able to use one word in de-
fining another.
1t is characteristic fact that almost
all the great monuments for the relief
Of the unfortunate have had their or
igin in religion. Venerable Bede wrote
a volume on Teaching by Signs of the
Fingers" The first systematic attempt
to teach deaf and dumb was made by
Pedro Ponce, a Benedictine Monk. He
taught his pupils to read and write
Spanish and Italian, and to understand
Greek and Latin. What he effected in
Spain was attempted with more or less
success in all the countries of Europe
by religious men and women.
To France, however, belongs the
honor of establishing institutions that
made modern methods Of deaf mute in
struction possible. The Able de L'Epee
was the first successful instructor in
the language of action, founded on a
simple and methodic analysis of OBJ
jects. He was succeeded by his dis
ciple, the Able Sicard, who brought the
system to a far higher degree of per-
fection, and it was one of his assistants
who came to our own country to aid in
founding institutions for the instruction
Of the deaf.
Printing is a valuable auxiliary in the
education of those employed in it. They
learn good trade, and, moreover, ac-
quire in the very act of practicing it
much valuable information, and an in
creased knowledge of language A
number of former pupils have entered
upon steady and remunerative employ
ment in newspaper and job printing
offices near their homes in Buffalo, Nj
agara Falls, Rochester, Albany, New
York, Philadelphia and other cities.

General Weyler was interviewed the
other day in Havana concerning the
action of the United States Senate. The
General sneered and expressed the be-
lief that the jingoes being in the saddle
in this country we will probably make
asses of ourselves by recognizing as
belligerents a lot of incendiaries. horse
thieves and bandits, whereat Europe
will ridcule us and pour out its sym
pathies for Spain in a practical man
ner, in rebuke of American stupidity
For, said the General, if the recogni-
ton is accorded it will be in the face
of my proclamation declaring officially
that the greater part of the island is
pacified Really. said General Wey-
Ter, recognition by the United States of
the insurgent cause will greatly help
Spain in placing her new loan. Ac-
cording to this then everybody ought
to be satisfied. If the insurgents will
not be aided and Spain viii be helped
by our action, why are the Spanish in
Spain disturbed by anything the Unit
ed States may do?

The crusade against impure and adul-
terated food continues in San Fran
cisco. 1t should be followed by SINH
lar enforcement of the law in every To-
cality in the State. A miserable decoc-
ton sold as berry jam or jelly came
near bringing a family to the grave on
Tuesday in San Francisco. The au-
thorities are resolved, says the local
press, to prosecute the offenders to the
uttermost. Why not? Is there anything
excusable or forgivable in the act OF
selling as genuine an article of food
that is dangerous to health and life?
Is there anything whatever to be said
for any man who takes the money or
another in exchange for an article pur-
porting to be wholesome food, that is
little short of poisonous? Must trade
be fostered by such means? If one at
the counter of a grocer asks for sugar,
receives what purports TO be sugar, ana
pays for what is represented as sugar,
but gets in return something that is not
sugar, it is simply idiotic to say that
there is no fault, no blameworthiness
and that the purchaser must look out
In these cases the rule of the law that
the purchaser must Took OUT is re-
versed, for the implied guarantee Of
purity and genuineness attaches to
every article of food that purports TO be
food. 1t is amazing that men are found
in this or any other community to dep
recate the warfare against spurious and
adulterated food supplies. on the
ground that such agitation hurts
trade" Heaven help the trade needing
such protection.

Nerves and Noises.

week or two ago DR.. f. H. Corbyn
delivered a lecture under the auspices
of the Association for the Suppression of
Street Noises, on the subject of Noises
and Nerves" One would have thought
that there could not be two opinions.
and as a matter of fact there are not
two medicals opinions, as to the inju
riousness to nerves and health of the
babel Of confusion which makes some
portions of London hideous By day and
night. No doubt in a vast population
like our own a certain amount of
noise and a certain variety of more or
less unpleasant sounds are inevitable
and cannot be got rid Of But for this
very reason i is all the more impera-
tive that those noises which are not in
evitable should and must be got rid
of in the sternest and most uncompro-
missing way. In the matter of street
noises we affirm that the main facts
to be considered are these-that the
strenuous toilers with head and hand
in London, to the number of tens of
thousands, are now daily sacrificed in
nerve and health to few hundreds or
thousands at most who mainly prefer
loafing 20 work. This should not be.
Physiology demands that it shall not
be. An adequate sense of public order
declares that ii must not be. Just as
in old times our forefathers disestab-
lished street beggars, put up street
lamps, and made the public thorough
fares passable and safe by day and
night, so must we, in our new times.

If, as is rumored at Washington, the
Spanish customs officers will collect du-
ties on the medicines and provisions the
Government of the United States is
sending to Cuba for the relief Of dis
tressed Americans, the Spanish mon
archy will be adding another tally to
the score of grievances America has
against it in morals, if not in law In
this connection it is pleasing to make
note of the fact that a steamship COM
pany has rendered the Government free
use of large steamer to carry the
goods to Cuba. 1t is stated by the most
recent telegraphic advices that the
Spanish army officers in Cuba will OBJ
ject to the supplies being distributed by
our Consuls. They claim that the
goods should be turned over to the
sponsible for their proper distribution.
That is absurd. No agency can so well
do the work as the consulates we nave
in Cuba, for with the Consuls the appll-
cations for aid are filed. The Spanish
officers really do not wish the supplies
distributed, for the process is likely 10
make disclosure of conditions they de-
sire to be kept from public knowledge
for obvious reasons. There appears to
be some feeling in all this matter pe-
cause the President has decided that
the goods for relief Of the sufferers
shall be purchased in the United States
instead of in Havana. His reason for
not buying in Havana is the very best
possible, namely, prices in that CITY,
because of the insurrection, are very
high, and it is his duty to make the
$4,000 go as far as is possible. AS it is
it is now conceded that the sum will be
insufficient, for medicines and necessar-
les of life, as there are ], 200 Americans
in distress in the fated island.

England has the ability and the will
to do more than any other nation to
bring the greatest of continents into
subsection to civilization, and to de-
velop all its resources. OF all colonizing
nations Great Britain is the chief;
growth infuses strength into the new
State and develops all that is possible in
it? 1t is not therefore to be considered
so much matter of regret, if it proves
true that England has accomplished her
desire, and expanded the privileges she
has all along had at the bay.
Sentimental jealousy of England
should not control our judgment in the
matter. We must recognize her as a
progressive nation, power that pro-
tects its people wherever they are and
commerce of whoever cares to trade in %
them. The New York Tribune is of
the opinion that Germany, the United
States and France will be able to do as
much business in Delagoa, Bay under
English domination as if it was owned
by the Beers, or by Germany, or by our
selves The English will favor their
own, of course, but in trade it will be
fair contest between the most capable
and efficient. The Tribune fortifieS its
opinion by citing the case of Egypt,
where under British management
French interests have been safe
guarded and promoted more effectively,
perhaps, than they would have been
under sole French control.
