OBITUARY.
MISS ANNA G. ALLEN.

In the death of Miss Anna G. Allen,
of North Ferrisburgh, Vermont, who was
for many years a teacher of the deaf, the
profession has met with an irreparable
loss.
Miss Allen taught for several years in
the Portland Day School for the Deaf,
and, although she came to the work with
out previous training in this special
branch of teaching, she early showed
great adaptability and efficiency. The
high degree of culture obtained through
education, opportunities of travel, and
a fine taste for the best in literature,
gave Miss Allen unusual fitness for spec
iaI service in the difficult work of teach
ing the deaf, Miss Allen not only Occu-
pied an Important position as a remark
ably conscientious ana successful teacher,
bat also as q welI-known teacher of teach
ers, having had normal classes in the
North Carolina School for the Deaf in
Morganton, and In the Missouri school
in Fulton, where she has teen most &C
ceptably working for the past three years.
Miss Allen possessed a mind of great
originality; her quick wit and readiness
in repartee made her most delightful
companion,
Her sympathetic nature gave her the
quickest insight into the lives OF others,
while her generous recognition of What
ever was Of superior merit in others,
and her ready expression OF her apprecia-
tion was one Of her most 1ovable oharao-
teristics
Miss Allen's personality was such as to
command both respect and affection and
drew to her a large and loving circle of
friends who will mourn her loss very
deeply.

IN London.

NEW YORK, June ia special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Lieutenant Commander ]. G. Colwell.

in London, is under investigation for fail
ure to obey orders of the Navy Depart
ment. A court of inquiry. Of which Cap
tain F. A. Cook and Medical Director c.
II. White are members, is sitting for this
purpose in Washington Navy Yard.
Lieutenant Commander Colwell receiv-
ed orders to report on a certain date in
the United States prelimir ary to going to
the Philippines. He failed to report and
sent an explanation that his condition
was such. in consequence of an opera
ton. that it was inadvisahle for him to
travel. 1t is alleged that he subsequently
placed himself under medical treatment

out of his orders so as to remain longer
in London.
The court is expected to submit it's
findings in few days.
