WON HONORS THOUGH BLIND.
Student I'm the South Carolina College
Who SurmOunted Many
Difficulties.

The honorS of the commencement
exercises at the South Carolina college
his year were carried off by John t.
Swearingcn, of EdgefieId, S. G., who
has ueen totally blind since he was
seven years old, reports the Buffalo F.
press. Swearingcn stood higher than
my man since the college was estab-
lishcd early in the century. In such
branches as mathematics and astron-
omy, where the sense Of sight would
naturally be regarded MS of the utmost
Importance, he has achieved remarka-
BILE success. One professor SAYS, for
instance, that Swearingen answered
with two minutes thought a complex
mathematical proposition that has net
been answered by another student in
the college. lie appears to have per-
1ect conception of relative positions
and distances, and he experiences no
difficulty III drawing gecInrtricaI E~-
urcs. 1t would be Interesting to know
how much Of his present conception
Of these things is due to knowledge
gained consciously or unconsciousIy be-
fore he became blind. a child of seven
years generally has n pretty good idea
OF form, though not so good of dis
lance. If he were an unusually bright
child, as Swearingen probably was,
these ideas would be much advanced,
while in either case they would be last
ing. Swearingen is ambitious, but is
undecided whether to become a min
lister or n lawyer. His teachers believe
he would adorn either profession.
When Corn Gets Scarce.
young southern housewife found
last summer, when corn began to be
scarce, that she could succeed in maxi
ing larger dish of corn if, when she
cut it off the cob, she added half Il cup

when the dish was properly seasoned
with milk, butter, etc. The homiry
served admirably. also, for corn pud-
dinEs and frittcrs. This same house

Robert Mazet. captain In the 18th Regiment. and
the chairman Of the Assembly Investigating Com

day upon the experiences of his regiment In the
Memorial Day parade. said TO a Tribune reporter:
"Our reception was not as bad as we expected II
would be. We knew that there would be some Ill
favored demonstrations toward us. but we were
cheered as much as. even more than. we were
jeered. 1t inevitable that some people should
be unfriendly disposed toward us. but we had to
go through the ordeal sooner or later BY the way.

the editorial stand II has taken regarding our reg

In the proper light before the public 1t Is not
altogether true as another paper this morning ac-
cused us that we placed esprit de corps before duty.
1t is useless 10 go into the merits OF the contro-
versy again. but the men have suffered, and SUI
fered in silence Not a word OF complaint has
come from them. whatever their opinion may be
upon certain actions that were taken. Personally
would like to have gone 10 the war. 1t was the
opportunity OF lifetime. and an opportunity that
may not come again for 2 generation The regi-
ment has nothing TO be ashamed Of and that very
esprit de corps for which II is blamed has helped

"Tea has lately risen in price.

that India and Ceylon Teas are

TO GO ON ALL SUMMER.
REPORT THAT THE INQUIRY WILL COME
TO AN END THIS WEEK DENIED

WITNESSES TO-DAY.
Members OF the Mazet Committee last evening
contradicted n report that the investigation would
come to an end this week. Mr.. Moss. counsel for
the committee has declared that the investigation
Is TO be continued all summer. He said last night
that It was not true that he had suborned testi-
moay against Police Captain Price, and he did not
believe Captain Price had saved his life he
would not comment further on Captain Prices
testimony.
According to his usual practice. Mr.. Moss de-
cned to give any indication OF what will be the
line OF procedure to-day.
1t is expected that ). c. Ellis will be the star
witness. Mr.. Ellis fats in various parts OF
the city which rented to women. One such
row OF flats was In the Harlem precinct commanded
by Captain Price. Another was in Sixty-fourth-st.
when Price was in command Of the West Sixty
eighth-st. station and yet another is IN the Ten
derlon, where Price holds sway. Two years
ago Captain Price declared war upon Ellis and
Ellis has volunteered to tell the Mazet Committee
why.
There will be no police Witnesses to-day owing
10 the parade. but II is probable that before the
end OF the week Chief Devery will again have
session the witness stand. Commissioner Felt
ner. Of the Tax Department and Commissioners
Keller OF the Charities Department, have been
subppned for to-day.
