POWER OF SPEECH RESTORED.
A WOman's Voice Returns After Fif-
teen Years. silence.

NEW YORK. Nov. 22-For fifteen years
Miss Julia Van Doren, of Kirkpatrick
Street. New Brunswick, N. j.. has been un-
able to speak above a whisper. She has
recently heard her voice, to the great sur
prise Of herself and many friends. For a
long time she has often used pencil and
pad to make known her wants. The loss
of her voice was the result OF an attack Of
throat trouble.
She was taken i'll on Sunday last. and
DIR. H. R. Baldwin. the family physician,
was summoned. She suffered greatly with
pains in her throat. She seemed on Mon
day much better, and yesterday when she
attempted to speak she found that her
voice had regained its normal strength and
tone. DIR. Baldwin has advised her to use
her voice with care until there is no ques-
tion that she has regained it with all its
former strength. 1t is supposed that the
counter irritation restored the affected vo-
cal cords to their normal power.

TAKEN FOR A WITCH.
A Superstitious Mans Serious Attack
an Aged Woman.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. 22.-Andrew
'Reisenger, of this city, believes in witches.
Not long ago some young men told him
that an old witch was coming to steal his
child Since then he has spent much time
watching the child.
Mrs. Mary Frear. aged eighty years,
lives at 29 Colvin Street, near Reisinger,
and was acquainted with the family that
formerly lived in the house occupied by
Reisinger. She did not know that they
had moved and she went there to call
Monday. She went to the front door and
knocked several times. Reisinger was in
the back yard, and hearing the knocking
he hastened to the front of the house
where he found Mrs. Frear. He made up
his mind that the old woman was a witch
come to steal the child. and he promptly
knocked her down. crying several times,
You can't steal my child The old wo-
man remained lying in the yard until
some passer-by went to her help. She has
been in bed most Of the time since and
her physicians say she will die of her in
juries. Reisinger has been arrested. His
excuse for the assault Is that he mis- ook
her for the witch who was going to steal
his child.

The ReIea.e of Arton.

paris Correspondence of the Pail Mall Gazette.)
The release Of Arton, the famous f%ton OF the
Panama scandals, is mainly dts tokhe indefatig-
able efforts Of his daughter, who, ever since his
condemnation, has toiled with extraordinary cour-
age and perseverance to obtain remission Of
his sentence Of FIVE years impr7sohment She has
visited every politician and public man who could
possibly interfere in favor Of her father. and she
has finally succeeded in converting to her cause
even the newspapers which in the past had been
most hostile to Artou.
Arton has spent the greater portion Of his term
Of Imprisonment at the Saint Louis Hospital
and under conditions which gave him little cause
for complaint. He was transerred to the hospital
in August, lsas, and given "a : room room which had

The governor Of the hospital having refused to
be responsible for his safe keeping, special pre-
cautions had to be taken to provide against the
prisoner esraping in the imprebsble event Of
his making tho attempt. Two detectives, who
were relieved every eight hours, were always

stationed in the room next to that which he occu-
pied The regime TO which he was subjected was
a day and WAS entitled TO three meais break
fast at o'clock luncheon at midday, and dinner
at S O'Clock in the evening The food provided
in these circumstances is excellent, and oears
NO reseublance to ordinary prison fare.
Still, although thus favorably situated, Arton
was held to be undergoing solitary confinement
in a cell. and in consequence, according to
the right to be released after serving half his
time This he has nearly done. so that even
without the intervention Of N. Loubet he would
very soon have been liberated. His pardon, how
ever. relieves him of the police supervision to
which he would otherwise have been liable.
Arton is to take up his residence in the South
of France, and will doubtless abstain from reve-
laticus of any kind.

at Albany.

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 22.-Live Goals by
the handful were grasped from the stove
in the recreation corridor of the Albany
county Jail yesterday by Edward Boland
and dashed into the face of John McCor-
mick Boland was in Jail for assaulting
his wife. and he accused Mccormick. also a
prisoner, of taking his baby. Mccormick
said he knew nothing of Bo.and's baby.
For some minutes Boland stood in front
of the stove looking at the bright fire.
Then. quick as a flash, he stuck both hands
into the stove, and catching two handfuls
of the burning Goals. rushed over to where
Mccormick was sitting and dashed them
into his face. Mccormick shrieked with
pain. and Boland, with laugh, went back
and got another handful of Goals and start
ed after Mccormick again. The uproar
brought the jail attendants to the scene,
and Boland was showered with water and
finally subdued. McCormick's face and
Boland's hands and arms were badly burn
ed. Later Boland was declared to be in
sane.

On the Edge of a Crisis.

The Italian Parliament WAS reIssembled Tues
day in the palace of Madama as serenely though
its last session had not been its stormicst The
people cheered the passing cortege of King
HuInbert and Queen Margherita as warmly as
though there had been bread riots and no
oppression. King Humbert made his address with
confidence and dignity, as though the throne were
not tottering beneath the representative of the
house of Savoy. Yet the crisis in Italian affairs
cannot be much longer deferred from mutterings
to an outburst which shall sweep away monarchy
and establish at least semblance to republican
rule. There is no Cavour; there is Garibald,
son of Garibaldi; Pope Leo is old; the people are
starving

ANuN DESERTS A HOSPITAL.
A Sister Said to Have Eloped With
Patient.

LA SALE ILL.,, Nov. 22-Sister Maura,
of st. Mary's Hospital, according to her
associates, yesterday renounced her vows
and religion and is said to have eloped with
John Gray, young man OF this city. The
couple purchased tickets for st. Louis. The
affair has caused great stir in the sister,
hood here. Sister Maura had only known
Gray few days. He was an inmate of the
hospital for several months, although it is
said that no Acquaintance was formed at
that time. The woman went to Minneapo-
lis two months ago, having fallen heir to
a considerable amount OF money, and re-
turned to this place ten days ago with most
Of it in her possession.
The Sister Superior can give no reason
for the action Of the young woman, other
than that she was either hypnotized or else
that her mind was unbalanced by the lega-
cy. She had been with the hospital seven
years, was young and pretty, and had been
considered an excellent sister.

A tendency to weakness in Sugar during
the early part Of the day contributed its
share toward preventing an advance in the
general market. At the opening there was
an advance Of point TO l51 and fraction.
but later this gam was lost and there was
a disposition in many quarters to sell the
stock. The outcome was in doubt but
there are still many that believe the oft
repeated story OF a settlement of the Su-
gar war is now really based on some
foundation II this is the correct idea
there can be little doubt that the stock
will advance to much higher prices in the

THE HUCKLEBERRY.
Fame and Fortune Await the Man
who VIII Succeed In Improv-
ing ma EnInrging IL.

Sometimes somebody will make
money growing the delicious huckle-
berry. 1t is II product of considerable
commercial Importance. In the height
of the season New York takes 1000
bushels day and the receipts at Chi
cago and other large cities are large.
Wisconsin markets from 100000 TO $780,
0O0 worth year. But the wild berry is
becoming scarcer and in time will cease
to exist. The huckleberry and blue
berry are exceedingly shy in habit,
and there is some difficulty in domestic
eating them, but enough has been done
in that direction to show that il is
possible. IL small bushes are removed
from high ground, with ball of earth
attached to each, in the early spring,
and planted closely together in soil in
which there is plenty Of sand and loam,
the chances are that they will grow
and produce for many years. Cultiva-
tion will probably greatly enlarge the
fruit, and whoever can establish
hucklebcrry patch will find more profit
in IL than was ever made from the
blackberry or is now being made from
the strawberry. On some farms there
are unused swamps that might be
profitably utilized in growing certain
varieties of the huckleberry such as the

THE CELERY CROP.
II the Plants Are Thrifty ana 'iHor.
Gus They May De Set Out as
Lnte as August.

In growing good crop OF celery
supply of thrifty, vigorous plants is es-
sential. These may be grown in seed
bed. In order to have thrifty, vigor-
GUS plants. the soil should be rich and
thoroughly prepared in good hills.
The plants must have plenty of room
to grow, and il they come up too quick
ly it will pay to thin out.
In many cases good top dressing
of wood ashes after the seed is sown
will be beneficial Make the rows in the
seed bed about foot apart. The seed
need very little covering, and 1t will pay
to firm the soil well after sowing the
seed; but il there is sufficient moist
ure in the soil TO induce a good ger
mnation this is not necessary.
1t is quite an item to have short,
stocl<y plants, and If this is done the
plants must have plenty of room TO
grow Give cultivation to keep down
the weeds and the soil in a good tilth.
Some celery growers prefer to trans
plant twice, cutting back the tops
slightly at the first transplanting. 1t
is claimed that by this plan more and
better roots may be secured.
After the plants have made sufficient
growth they may be etransplantedw where
they are to grow and mature.
In many cases celery may be grown
where an early crop has been grown.
The middle or latter part of July is
good time to set out the plants, though
it may be done as late as August. As
The transplanting is usually done at n
dry time. il will nearly always be good
plan to water the plants well an hour
before taking them up. Use water
enough to soften the ground, so that
the plants will come up readily, and
without injury to the roots.
Work the soil deep and thoroughly,
and then mark out the rows four feet
apart, with the plants ten to twclve
inches apart in the rows. Water two or
three times until the plants start to
| grow Clean. thorough cultivation is
necessary in order to secure thrifty.
