In the evening Miss Taylor gave an
address in the sign language on "SOme
Recent Inventions" picturing the won
derful progress that has been made in
invention, and particularly the advance
that there has been in the education of
the deaf.
Sunday morning the convention at
tended the regular preaching service at
the Congregational church, Miss Taylor
acting as interpreter. In the afternoon
a deaf mute prayer meeting was held.
The deaf mutes attended the prayer
meeting at the Baptist church Sunday
evening and sort of combination serv'
ice was held. Miss Taylor, the inter.
prefer, sat upon the platform and inter
preted to the mutes by the sign Ian
guage what was said. Some of the
mutes took part by their language and
Miss Taylor interpreted what they said.
The audience nearly filled the room.
From the social standpoint at least the
convention seemed to be highly sue
cessful, and the animated conversation
| in sign language, in meeting or on the
street, has been observed with mucl
interest. Miss Taylor says that the dea
as class are Industrious, cheerful, ant
of an amiable disposition, and what wa
seen of the visitors here certainly tend
to corroborate her statement.
The Maine. School for the Deaf, IN
Portland, of which Miss Taylor is prin
cipal, is an institution of whose worl
perhaps not much is generally known
There deaf children are not only laugh
the ordinary branches of learning, bu
also receive industrial education, tn
girls being taught cooking and sewing
and the boys wood work and other use
full occupations. There are at presen
nine teachers besides the principal, ant
ninety pupils, the accommodations o
the school being fully occupied.

The personal kindliness and exemplary
life of President Mckinley have won the
affection and esteem of all regardless Of
political differences. In the painful sus-
pense with which the whole American
people this morning hang over each bulle-
tin from the physicians the anxiety Is not
only for the chief magistrate of the re-
public but for the man in whose fate each
one Is as keenly interested as IL the suf
ferer were a member of his own family.
The great heart of the nation goes out,

Mckinleys faithful life companion, now

From the Philadelphia Ledger

The case of President Mckinley bears no
resemblance to either that Of Lincoln or
Garfield. OF him it may be truly said that
he IS a man who has neither public nor
private enemies. AS Chief Magistrate of
the United States he has borne himself so
well in his high Office as to win the general
respect and confidence. This does not mean
that all his countrymen have agreed with
his policies or indorsed his official acts
But they have believed that, amid difficult
ties and environments such as have beset

Prosperity, peace and success have fol-
lowed President Mckinleys administration.
Sectional feeling has disappeared. Loyalty
universally expressed. He stood, as he
delivered his memorable speech of two days
ago. TO which the dire event succeeding 1t
has already given historical weight and
the visible success of conciliation, wise con-
cession and an impartial regard for the
interests. the progress and the weII-being
of all the republic and of every citizen un-

Prem the Philadelphia Record.

Because William Mckinley Is the chosen
chief of the greatest republic this violent
attack upon his life Will challenge the awe

where the man. the soldier, the statesman
