MORE RIOTS IN CLEVELAND,
Another Car Blown Up with Nitro Glycer-
inca Boy Killed,

another Car Blown Up with Nitro Glycer-
ine-A Boy Killed.
cleveland, July 24.-Riotlng broke
out afresh here tonight, and Il second
attempt to wreck Il car was made.
A Pearl street car, speeding south,
near Holmden avenue, carrying beside
the motorman and conductor, a guard,
successfully ran a gauntlet of missiles
thrown from the roofs of houses, only
to run into can of nitro-glycerine,
which exploded with terrific force.
The rear platform was torn off and
the flooring wrenched from its fasten-
ings. The crew was not injured, but
emerged from the shattered ruins with
pistols drawn and began firing at what
they thought was couple of men
crouching as II to hide themselves be-
hind small bill board.
The explosion was the signal for re-
newing the attack from the housetops
ana alleys. Troop A, hurrying on horse
back to the scene, was bombarded with
giant firecrackers. One of these eX-
ploded with such force that the mount
or one of the troopers was knocked
over, In his fall carrying with him two
other horses and their riders.
Several arrests were made. Pistol
shots were frequently heard and one
man was slightly wounded In the arm.
The day failed to bring any relief to
the strike situation, which is regard
ed as serious.
The State Board of Arbitration has
practically abandoned its efforts to con-
ciliate the strikers and their former
employers. The resentment of the con-
ductors and motormen who quit work
and the more turhulput spirtt nf fhait.
sympathizers is held In check to II de-
gree by the presence of the police and
the militia.
Small riots occurred during the day
but with one exception they were
without serious results. In the death
of Henry Cornwcit. slain by bullet
fired by Ralph T.. Hawley, conduc-
tor on the Broadway line. is recorded
the first fatality of the strike.
Shortly after noon Hawley's car was
approaching Prange street and was be-
set by crowd of men and boys. Corn
welt, the 19-year-old son of n butcher,
was astride n horse and rode to the
side of the ear, keeping pace with 1t
for some distance.
Various stories are told as 10 what
passed between the conductor and the
boy, but the mob was suddenly called
10 It's senses by the sight of Hawley,
who jumped To the street and started
in pursuit of Cornweit
The latter. closely followed by his
pursucr, turned up Perry street At
Woodland avenue the latter pulled his
revolver aud fired. His victim fell,
with n ghast'y wound in the left tenn
pie and died soon after being removed
to the hospital.

Little surprise was expressed at ,.,e
wording in English instead of French,
of the invitations issued by the Brit
ish ambassador at Paris to his ban
quet in commemoration of the queens
eightieth birthday anniversary. Yet
there was time when such a pro-
ceeding would have been tantamount
to rupture of diplomatic relations.
In these days there is no longer any
one court or diplomatic language.
while the English language is stead
lily and swiftly moving forward toward
universal usage.

HELEN KELLER's TOUGH.
1t Partly Serves the Deaf and Blind Girl
In Place of Ears and Eyes.


In Place of Ears and Eyes.
"The delicacy of Helen Keller's sense
of touch is certainly keen, but Its keen
ness has unquestionably been devel-
oped from merely normal founda-
ton" writes Joseph Edgar Chamber
lin of Helen Keller. the deaf and blind
prodigy, in the May Ladies' Home
Journal. "She hears as she expresses
it-that is, feels-a football on the floor
of the room and distinguishes foot
falls which differ markedly from one
another. Last summer, when she was
taking her exercise one day by walking
up and down the veranda, / was seated
in chair near the door, and little
child, barely year old but able to
walk freely, came walking lightly out
upon the yeranda. Helen stopped at
once, and coming up to me and touch
ing my lips asked, Is Marion here"
| answered Yes Helen smiled and
said, 4 thought l felt n soft sound
She is particularly sensitive to musical
vibrations. She Is fond of holding her
hands against piano when 1t is being
played. and her face shows keen pleas
ure while she is thus occupied. She
distinguishes between high chords and
low chords struck on Il piano, but her
sense of feeling does not distinguish
between major and minor chords nor
between concordant and discordant
sounds. 1t is to be borne In mind that
she has no remainder Of hearing what
ever. the drums of her ears being rup-
tured.
"A great deal has been said and writ
ten about her power of recognizing
people by the touch of the hand. She
certainly does recognize all her friends
readily by shaking the hand, and
sometimes recognizes at n second meet
ing, and some time afterward, person
whom she has met but once before l
have studied this accomplishment of
hers n good deal. and am convinced
that she recognizes her acquaintances
not by the feeling of the hand, but by
the slight individual or characteristic
movement or movements of each per-
son."

At,nckcd the stnrc Villain.

1t Is one of the peculiarities of the
audiences in the lower class English
thcaters that they not only show sym
pathy with the hero but vigorously
hiss the villain. In Il melodrama last
night nj a suburban theater one gallery
god went step further and threw n
knife at the villain while perpetrat-
ing n blood-curdling crime. But vice
was still triumphant. The knife miss
ed the villain but hit the conductor of
