CENTRAL ASKS FOR WRIT OF mANDAMUs
WANTS ASSESSMENT ON HARLEM ROAD STRICKEN
FROM ROLLS

Application was made to Justice OGOrman in the
supreme Court yesterday. by counsel for the New
YORK central and Hudson River Railroad for the
issuance of a writ OF peremptory mandamus TO
compel the Municipal Assembly to permit the Tax
Commissioners to have access to the tax rolls now
In its possession for the purpose Of enabling the
Tax Board to strike out the assessment of s. $50
Wo on the real and personal property Of the New
HorF and Harlem River Railroad Company
Ira A. Place. who appeared for the company said
that Justice Bischoff a week ago issued writ of
mandamus directing the Tax Commissioners to
strike ont this assessment on the ground that the
company had been twice assessed the State Board
having assessed its franchises at $40 $4,000
Counsel said that the Tax Commissioners had
refused to obey Justice Bischoff's order alleging
that in compliance with the law the tax rolls had
been turned over to the Municipal Assembly On
May 81 last, and they had therefore no control
over them at present. He could have brought a
proceeding TO have the Tax Commissioners pun
easier way of asking that the Municipal Assembly
be ordered to allow the Tax Commissioners access
to the rolls. that they could comply with the
mandate of the Court. There was no doubt he
said. that the Tax Commissioners had been guilty
of contempt Of court.
Corporation Counsel Whalen set forth that while
ne dlsapprOVed Of the order made by Justice Bis
chOff the Tax Commissioners were actually unable
TO comply with his order. because the rolls had
passed ont of their control The original applica-
tion had, he cOntended. been made too late. Jus
uCe OGorman reserved his decision

KATE MGIRR's PROGRESS AT THE INSTITU-
TION FOR THE INSTRUCTION OF
THE DEAF AND DUMB

A severe cold contracted during the great bliz-
zard of 1883 deprived Kate McGrr of both sight
and hearing and all remembrance of form and
color gradually faded from her mind, so that at
present she has but vague idea of either or theI
She was enrolled a pupil at the New-1ork IN
stituton for the instruction of the Deaf and Dumb
in the of 1890 and soon learned to con-
with her schoolmates by means of the man
ual alphabet and code of signs commonly used
by the deaf. During the first few years her
progress in school was greatly retarded by SICK
ness but she had mastered the Moon
alphabet she began a systematic course of study.
She seemed to take especial delight in committing
to memory Bible stories.
Two years ago she took up the study OF history
and developed remarkable degree of patriotism
She speaks of American heroes in most afectlonate
terms and loves them as if they were personal
friends, to whom she owed debt of gratitude
She has always been an enthusiastic lover OF geos-
raphy.
Last term she studied physiology, but arithmetic
has never been her favorite. There is a strong
rivalry in this study between her and Orris Benson,
who is also deaf and blind. During recitation they
sit opposite each other. and whenever she finishes
example first she expresses her delight by
pounding the table 1t is needless to say that
Orris does not hesitate 10 let her know whenever
luck is on his side.
AS she has mastered English and American
Braille and New-York Point. she derives great
pleasure from reading books and magazines sent
to her by friends. She is extremely fond of poetry
but her dearest treasures the four Gospels
printed in raised letters sent to her by mis- mis-
sionary. Within a little than year TINS
deaf blind girl has learned to knit She also seWs
little, but she is so fond of reading that, she
gives little attention either of these useful ac-
complishments. She is learning to use the type
writer, in which she manifests much interest.
Special attention has been paid of late 70 the
deaf-bind by William Wade. of Oakmont, Penn,
who has found seventy cases already in the united
States and three of this number pupils at the
institution, on the Hudson at One-hundred-and-
sixty-third-st.
Orris Benson Is still engaged in the classroom
work but spends part of every day in manual
training, which includes clay modelling, wood carV-
ing and chair Gaming. Kate McGirr has devoted
her entire school day to the classroom until lately
so that her progress in manual training is still

There are several forms of print for the blind, all

GOOD CHEER,
THE WORD IN NATURE

In holy books read how God hath spoken
To holy men in many different ways;
But hath the present worked no sign or token?
Is God quite silent in these latter days?
The word were but blank. hollow sound
If He that spake il speaking still,
II all the light and all the shade around
Were aught but issues of Almighty will
So, then, believe that every bird that sings
And every flower that stars the elastic sod
And every thought each happy season brings
To pure spirit is a word of God.
