LET THE DEAF HEAR.
A Testimonial of DIR. Ray bOrn's Won
derful Cures.

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 23.-Miss Pearl
Harris and Miss Mabel Johnson. both Of
Howard county have been deaf mutes from
infancy They were educated at the Insti-
tuition for the Deaf and Dumb near this
city. They attained their majority nearly
two years ago, and were supposed to be
beyond the reach Of treatment. Recently
DR.. ]. W Rayborn. OF Kokomo, made an
examination OF Miss Harris ears and an
nounced that he believed he could cure
her. and she was placed under his treat
ment. Miss johnson also decided 10 let
him operate upon her ears and he under
took both cases, giving 10 each the same
treatment.
Examination showed that a thin film
of covering was drawn tightly over the
drum of the ear and the physician had in
struments specially made for piercing the
drum. He made several incisions. The op-
erations are successful beyond his eXpec
tatiOns and the patients are now able 10
hear as readily as person who was never
deaf After their hearing was restored the
physician began TO urge them TO talk and
they are making good progress. DR.. Ray
born refuses TO give particulars regarding
the means employed In the cures.

WRAPPING PAPER HIGHER.
Butcher and Manila Have Doubled in
Price Since June.

The price of butcher and manila paper
No. 2 has advanced So per ton, TO take ef-
feet at once.
A paper dealer said today that these
two qualities of paper. both of which are
low grades and used for wrapping pur-
poses. have been steadily advancing ever
since last June. The price then ranged
from $50 to s35 a ton, while butcher paper
now sells for $50 and No. , manila paper
about $40 a ton. The cause of this in
crease is attributed by most dealers to
the great demand for paper and the scare
ity of the raw material.
THE trust has nothing to do with it, y
said a dealer, for most of the mills which
manufacture butcher paper and other low
grades are not in the trust.
Another cause is the long-continued
drought in the mills in New England and
western New York, which has not given
the mills a chance to work to their full
capacity. The increase in the price of la
bor. as well as of the various chemicals
used to manufacture paper, are also con-
sidered accessory in raising the price.
Moreover" said the dealer, while this
new increase is to be noted, yet the retail
consumers, such as butchers and store
keepers, will scarcely notice 1t.

THE LEHIGH AND LAKE ERIE.
Railway Asks a Land Grant for
Wharfage purpOses.

ALBANY. y. Y. Jan. 23.-The State
Railroad Commission recently granted an
application of the Lehigh and Lake Erie
Company for permission to build short
steam railroad from the Tiff Farm ter
minal of the Lehigh Valley Railroad TO
Buffalo. The company's application was
only granted after big fight with the New
York Central Road which sought to pre-
vent competition with the terminal rail-
way of Buffalo, the Vanderbilt connection
which traverses practically the same route.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company has
followed up its victory by filing with the
State Commissioner of the Land Office
an application for a grant OF land of 226
acres under the waters of Buffalo Harbor
for the purpose of erecting thereon bulk
heads piers and warehouses. The land is
situated south and north of Tiff Street
and extends from / 100 to 1,200 feet from
the shore line.
A remonstrance to the granting of the
application was filed by Octavius o. Cot
tie. of Buffalo He alleges that he owns
property having a frontage Of 1920 feet
along the shore line where the land under
water which the application requests is
situated, and that being the owner of the
uplands. the land board has no right to
grant the land under water in front of his
premises At one time the railroad COM
pany owned a strip of land lying between
the lake and Mr. Cottle's property. Mr..
Cottle alleges that this has been washed
away by the action of the waters of the
lake and that the water front now extends

TO PREVENT A COAL STRIKE.
Pennsylvania CIerEymen Advise the
Miners Against IL.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Jan. 23.-The con
servative element in this section of the
anthracite region is using every effort TO
prevent the threatening big strike.
The clergy are crying out against it, be-
cause they say it means poverty for the
strikers Business men are apprehensive
for the future and are doing their best 10
bring peace before il is TOO late.
Rev F. c. Curran, pastor of Holy Sa-
viour Church. whose congregation is com
posed mostly of miners, has taken de-
cided stand In an address to his congre-
gaticn. he said: "ApTopos Of the general
strike now threatened throughout the an
thracite coal fields of this State | would
respectfully call your attention to some
timely advice which / consider duty TO
impart. Ii is to be very much regretted
that on the rising tide of universal pros
perity in our great country there should
exist even the semblance of an occasion
for the widespread strike which seems now
right at our doors.
Strikes are seldom necessary. and al
ways detrimental. There may. and often
do exist grievances between employer and
employe which call for an immediate re-
dress But such redress is not to be found
in the baneful strike"
Charles F. Thaen, Secretary of the Nine
Workers Union OF this district, says that
there will surely be a big lockout unless

ed, lose their places.
The rumor that the company is behind
J. B. Mcdonald. TO whom the tunnel con-
tract was awarded, arose from the fact
that the Carnegie concern offered 10 supply
the steel material. The price was given
10 Mr.. Mcdonald, who secured an option
from the company for all the plates. beams
and channels and other structural material
necessary for the work.
This was twelve months ago. when
prices were one-third less than the present
quotations. The option. it is said did not
meet the approval OF Andrew Carnegie,
who at once ordered that the tender be
Withdrawn if possible.
A R. Peacock, first vice president and

reported. went TO New York and endeav-
ored to alter the option by putting The fig

Ii is reported here that Contractor Nc
Donald was enabled to underbid all COM
petitors by reason Of his low prices on

Company selling him the material at the

RAILWAY MEN TALK RATES.
The War Between the Great Northern
and the Canadian Pacific.


CHICAGO. Jan 23.-General Passenger
Agents of all Western lines interested In
transcontinentaI traffic have met and con-
sidered the general rate situation and the
agreement of executive officers to pay no
ticket commissions after this month. The
principal obstacle in the way Of the les
toration of all Western passenger rates
to normal tariff basis is the special rate
for "colonists" or prospective settlers in
the Northwest. by the Great Northern and
Canadian Pacific roads.
President Hill, OF the Great Northern.
wants to continue the "colonist' rate, so
long as there is vacant farming land on
the line of his railroad. He is determined
TO keep up low rates for settlers while the
Canadian Pacific makes low rates for pros
pective settlers in the Kootenai country
and other territory. Mr.. Hill thinks the
Great Northern is entitled to its share of
this traffic. The Canadian Pacific thinks
otherwise. Representatives of other roads
are using their influence 10 bring about an
amicable settlement of the dispute be-
tween the Great Northern and the Cana
dian Pacific. AS long as the special rates
for settlers, which anybody can use, are
maintained. the lines via the Missouri
River gatewavs to the Northwest cannot
meet the rates from st. Paul without af-
fecting intermediate rates.

LADY FENwIcK,s GHOST.
A MisehIevOus spirit That Ring
Many Locomotive Bells


SAYBROOK. Conn. Jan. 23-Chcsts ere
the leading topic in this staid old town
just now. A walk from the railroad sta
ton 10 point three miles down The road
will convince anyone conversi1g with per
sons along the route that witches and
spooks have been holding high carnival in
the town. II The tales related are true.
The section chosen for the silence and
fun Of the mysterious visitors was in be
vicinity OF the engine house owned By the
Consolidated Railroad. near the Hotel Fen

the round house was engaged polishing

lives began 10 strike, soon after midnight

he believes invisible hands must have bad
all the steam whistles assisting in The mys
tic entertainment
At the conclusion Of the bell ringing,
which lasted several seconds, footsteps
were heard on TOP Of the boiler Jackets.
The steps were regular, and al intervals
grand parade would be made up and down
the boiler plates. the dance evidently be-
ing a combination of a clog and cake walk.
When Bebe recovered from his asJOnish-
ment he notified his fellow employees Of
what he had heard. and it was the gen
eral verdict that the ghosts which had
frightened the natives at various times
for more than 25D years were again max
ing themselves known.
While the engine house was being lhus
favored with visit from the ghosts. the
railroad station near by. in charge Of
Charles Beecher. was also being turned
tOpsy-turvy by nocturnal spirits. Beech
er was sitting close to a lamp reading
newspaper when the big account books
were suddenly lifted from the desk and
slammed upon the floor. The station
agent STOPPED to pick UP the books when
they arose apparently of their own Foi.-
tion. and deposited themselves upon the
desk.
Bcecher is ar q loss to understand the
peculiar manifes stations. further than the
theory that Lady Fenwick and her assO-
ciate spirits are lowering about her grave.
Lady Fenwick was the first woman in
Connecticut to be distinguished by a
tombstone. She was frequently called La
dy Alice Apsley BOteler, being the widow
of Sir John Boteler, and was married 10
George Fenwick. founder Of SaybTOok.
Lady Fenwick came to this country from
London on May 90 1899, and lived nine
wears after her arrival here. she was
buried in the graveyard where the engine
house now stands. When the house was
about to be erected in $50, the bones OF
Lady Fenvick were placed in a coihn and
buried in an adjacent cemetery.
The history OF Lady Fenwick and perl
odieaI visitatious Of ghosts are syuouY-
nous tales in SaybrOok and the stories OF
haunted houses and spOOks are anticipated
as regularly as The "MOOdUs Mountain
rumblings' up the Connecticut Valley
The residents seem TO feel that the Old
town is haunted and take pride in its
