Lancaster. Pa, Dispatch.
After having been unable to talk for
six years, Miss Sarah Lands, 81 years
old, of Ephrata, has had her speech re-
turn to her as suddenly as it departed.
In the summer of 1893 the subject,
then an attractive, weli-educated girl,
was prostrated by illness, and has never
since Leen able to leave her bed, ner-
vous and spinal disorders complicating
her original complaint. Finally her
speech suddenly LETT her while she was
engaged ia conversation. Skilled ply
siclans were not only unable to help
her, but were puzzled to account for
her sudden aff1iction.
As time passed the victim became
reconciled to her lot, and through ne
cessity invented an entirely new sign
language, by which her family speedily
came to learn her every want. The
once robust girl passed into so frall q
womanhood that she is now reduced to
a mere skeleton. Yesterday, while ly-
ing in bed, she had some want, and on
the spur of the moment called to her
sister, who was in the next room. In
spite of her years of silence sbe spoke
clearly, and since then she has been
able to speak as we'll as she ever did,
but tho effort tires her.
She was greatly over at first
over the return Of speech, but now ap-
psars to feel no emotion wkatsver over
it, recovery.

THE HOUSE.

The t1OUSE.
Washington, February 22.-The house
began holding early sessions to-day,
meeting at II a. M, owing to the pres
sure for the time in the Porto Rico de-
bate.
Mr.. Mcclellan Of New York opened
the debate, speaking in opposition to
the bill.
Mr.. Brantley of California spoke
against the bill, and particularly on
the future of the Philippines. He de-
clared the new Philippine commission
gould accomplish nothing, and If it went
to the Philippines at all 1t should go
with the authority and power which
congress alone could grant.
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio followed in
support of the bill. Mr.. Grosvenor said
that, speaking as an individual and
knowing all things involved in the sit
uation, he thought nothing would give
the president greater sorrow than the
defeat Of this bill and turning over this
house to the Democratic minority.
Mr.. Mccall Of Massachusetts,, the only
Republican member Of the ways and
means committee to dissent from the
majority report, followed in opposition
to the bill.
THE SENATE.
Mr.. Penrose consented to let the Quay
case go over until Tomorrow. The
senate then adjourned.
Washington's farewell address was
read by Senator Foraker in the senate.

THE SENATOR'S SON
Young Clark Says Money He Dis
bursed Was for Expenses Of
Clark Men.
DENIED WHlTESIDE'S STORY
That the State Senator Did Not Ask For
Money-Senator Olark'S Letter Which
Was In the Interest of
Welcome. ...

Washington, February 22.-In the
Clark investigation to-day, c. w.
Clark, son of the senator was called.
He was treasurer Of the Clark cam
paign committee. The first effort Of the
committee, he said, was to take the
state convention from the Daily people:
next, the election of Democratic state
legislative ticket, making practically
two campaigns. Money placed in his
hands was for the purpose of covering
both these campaigns. Clark thought
there were an average of ITO persons in
Helena in his fathers behalf just be-
fore the election, and there were fully
300 people there from first to last. Most
Of these had come with the view of
helping Clark, but the witness had no
doubt some of them came with the
hope of earning little expense money"
Clark said he never authorized Mr..
Whiteside to see members of the legis-
lature in his fathers behalf never told
him any state senator or legislative
member was to get any specified sum
Luz d VOle ne ueIlleu dil Tie lIICllIlI-
mating testimony given by Whiteside.
Clark said that at the first meeting with
Whiteside the latter said he was tired
of the DAILY people; was unpledged and
wanted to support Clark. He said he
did not want any money, but wanted
an equal chance with others in bidding
upon the buildings contemplated by his
father. This was promised. Whiteside
then said he would vote for Clark.
Rev Albert B. Martin, principal Of a
female seminary at Deer Lodge, pro-
duced letter written him by Senator
Clark last October, which the doctor
had taken to Chief Justice Brantley.
The letter was as follows:
Dear DR.. Martin-If you could see
our mutual friend, Judge B., and state
to him what John r. told you, outlin-
ing the plan of campaign, which prac-
tically showed everything was practi-
cally prearranged, I am sure he would
have a better understanding Of the
Welcome proceeding, and would not al
low that splendid man to be disbarred.
He has lovely wife and children, and
it is shame that he should suffer dis
grace through two such disreputable
men as Whiteside and my namesake.
W. A. Clark, of Madison county.
(Signed) "W. A. CLARK"
Martin said: "Our mutual friend,
Judge B., was Judge Brantley, and
John R. T. was John r. Toole, who told
him the reports concerning Senator
Clark's methods would be investigated
by committee. He felt interested in
Welcome because his father-in-law
was an old Presbyterian minister. He
hoped he could influence the supreme
court to send the case back to the Sill
yer Bow county court, and saw no in
delicacy in doing that"
C. w. Clark was recalled, and made
specific denials of the testimony Of wit
nesses for the prosecution.

Cerrillos, N. M, February 21.-The

And it also has another significance
which the good people Of this Little

since patriotism and industry are going
hand and hand nowadays.
The hoisting Of this flag will be the
first official act of L. s. Austin, SUPER
intendent and metallurgist of the Ger
rillos smelter. Mr.. Austin arrived from
Leadville last night To-day he was
busy looking over the plant, inspecting
the laboratory, ETC., and making the
acquaintance of business and mining
men. Tomorrow he "peels his coat"
and gets down to work. From this date
forward the smelter company stands
ready to receive and pay the highest
cash price for all smelling ores. IF we
haven't capacity for treating all ores
rendered, We'll make It," said General
Manager R. B. Thomas.

CHIEF WASHAKIE DEAD.
Was the Leader Of the Shoshones for half
q Century.

Chicago, February PA special to
the Tribune from Cheyenne, Wyo., says:
Washakie, chief of the eastern Sho-
shone Indians, died at the Wind river
reservation last evening. He was 80
years old. For fifty three years he was
at the head of his tribe. He was de-
vout Christian, and by example and
teachings brought the Shoshones up to
a high standard of intelligence. In his
early history he was famous as a war;
rior, but in peace became one of the
best, wisest and ablest of Indian states
men.
General Grant, General Sherman and
several of the presidents were warm
admirers Of the old chief, and often sent
him presents as an evidence of their re-
spect. In 1868, with number Of Ban
mock chiefs, Washakie met Gen. Sher-
man and negotiated the treaty which
gave the present Wind river reservation
to the two tribes He took prominent
part in the expedition Of General Crook
against the Sioux in 1876. It was at the
close of this campaign that Gen. Grant
gave the chief fine saddle and bride,
beautifully ornamented and rich with
trimmings Washakie received the gift
through the Indian agent, who, when
presenting It, made nice speech. The
old chief in the meantime was silent,
not moving muscle or exhibiting any
emotion. The agent asked: what shall
say to General Grant?"
Washakie replied: Nothing. Do
favor to Frenchman, he feels it in his
head and his tongue speaks. Show a
kindness to an Indian, and he feels 1t in
his heart. The heart has no tongue"
Washakie years ago resembled Hen
ry Ward Beecher. His head was mas
sive and his long hair flowed down over
his shoulders. 1t Is thought his son,
Dick Washable, will become his sue
cessor. He died in the Christian faith,
having been baptized by Rev. Mr.. Rob-
erts, an Episcopal missionary.

they would march out as they came
in. Everything works like clock
work. They do so much drilling
every morning before breakfast one
half to one hour seems to make them

have an excellent brass band % in
mates compose it, and on extra occa-
sions they wear the Confederate uni

The officers have authority to adj
minister punishment as occasion
calls for it, but from my observation
Il staid there from Wednesday till
Monday neither saw nor heard Of
a single inmate being punished but
l noticed that the Superintendent
was very strict with his subordinates.
The most important question for
people to ask now is what will it
cost? Will it pay to have young
criminals imprisoned to themselves,
and educated not only in useful
trades in after life, but we'll educated
in books, in the arts and sciences?
Our only way to answer this i'm
portant question is by knowing how
it has paid in other States where Re
formatory Schools have been tried.
1t takes $500 900 d year to run the
Louisville ~Reformatory and they
have SIS, 900 to $50, 900 for repairs
and building new work shops, sleep
ing apartments, continually increas-
ing the capacity of the school, en-
plOying extra teachers, guards, &c.
Now we will try to answer the
question-will it pay? The Superin-
tendent said that as far as he was
able to follow his boys, Il large num-
Der were lawyers, doctors, engineers,
merchants, and teachers. One was
d captain of d man-of-war in Manila
bay In the great naval battle with
Spain.
1t certainly has paid handsomely ;
and then to think OF this great num-
Der Of boys and girls, snatched from
jails and States prisons where most
of them would have gone, made into
respectable citizenS-many of them
holding lucrative offices and offices
of trust. We cannot say too much
in favor of Il schools to reform young
criminals. Such an institution would
be worth more to North Carolina
than we can estimate in dollars and
cents. j. B. ALEXANDER, III. d.
