A WoMAN's VOICE RETURNS.
Mute for Months. She Receivers in n
Dentists Chair.

BATH, N Y. Aug 25.-Mrs. George
Ferris, who lives on the Ferris place at
Harrisburg Hollow, near here, rejoices in
the restoration OF her voice which left
her in n peculiar manner some time ago.
The dinner horn that has hung on a
peg in the kitchen Of the Ferris house
for years became mute twelve months ago
and Mrs. Ferris had to use her voice to
summon the help to meals. AS the place
was a large one she was forced to strain
her voice TO make the men hear. and one
day early in May she called so loudly that
something in her throat gave way and
her voice sank TO a whisper and then dis
appeared altogether.
Last Wednesday Mrs, Ferris, accompa-
MED by a friend. came to this place TO
have some teeth extracted. The first one
came out without any trouble, but when
the second one was removed Mrs Ferris
could stand ii no logger.
You mean man. She exclaimed. I'll
never have another tooth pulled if they
kill me" Then she realized that her
voice had returned, and from sheer hap
Diness over this she sat down in the dent
lists chair once more and had him ex-
tract the others. She can now talk as
well as ever.

ESCAPED FROM THE HOME.
The Adventures of Minnie MahOney
and EsteIie Smith.

| Minnie Mahoney and Estelle Smith
two Young girls from Georgia, escaped
| last night from the Florence Crittenton
| Home. where they had been staying
| They were arrested half an hour later in
front of a disrsputable resort south of
| the Avenue, and sent to the House of De-
| tention.
| The matron of the Florence Crittenton
| Home gave Estelle a good name. She
| has been living at the home, on Th1rd
Street northwest, for four years. and, ac-
| cording to the natron, would have been
| contented to stay there, had not Minnie,
who arrived at the institution one week
ago yesterday, exerted an evil influence
over her Both girls, although they came
from the same State, were not acquaint-
ed until they met in the home for unfor
tunate women EsteIie came here from
Atlanta, while Minnie's home is in Sa-
yannah where she was so incorrigible,
the matron said, that her parents had
her sent TO the home in Washington.
Ever since her arrival, 1t is said, she
has been endeavoring to persuade Es-
telle to leave the home, and go out to
see the world.
Yesterday Estelle consented, and while
the matrons were at supper, about
o clock, the two girls pried open the win
dow of the laundry room. and gained the
street Minnie endured of a man whom
they met on the Avenue where that part
of the city which they were In search of
was located, and he promptly Informed
them. On reaching that section of the
city, Minnie entered several houses, and
endeavored to make arrangements to Sc
cure room. In one she was told to
come back at clock. Estelle remained
on the sidewalk during these interviews.
The two girls were seen by officers of
the First precinct and were arrested.
Meanwhile the matron of the house had
discovered the fight of the young wo-
men. and had informed Police HeadGuar-
tiers. from which message was immedi-
ately sent to the Twelfth Street station
to look out for the girls. When they were
brought into the stationhouse other Of
ficers were already on the way out in
search of them.
At the House of Detention the girls
viewed the situation with complacency-
They were in high spirits. although dis
appointed at not having made their es-
cape good, and sang ragtime songs until
the matron became distracted.
Estelie Smith declared last night that
she had no intention of going with the
other girl farther than the park sur
rounding the Museum, where they had
over their plans. The girl said that she
was tired of staying at the home. and
that she had hoped to secure a situation.
At the home last night the matron said
that she wanted Estelle TO come back. as
she had always been a good girl She
said that Minnie had been profane and
disorderly since coming to the home a
week ago, and she hoped that she would
be sent to some other institution. as she
was not wanted at the CTittenton Home
Minnie talked fiippantly, and did not
seem to feel her position very keenly

THE PENNSYLVANIA ELEVEN.
Football Practice to Begin on Sep
tember II.

PHILADELPHIA,JtA Aug. 25.-Announce-
ment has just been made by Head Coach
Woodruff. of the University of Pennsyl-
vania football teama thats practice will be-
gin this year on Thursday, September II.
This is several days later than the foot
ball squad began work last year, but as
it gives sixteen days before the opening
of the season with Lehigh, it is consid-
cred ample time Notice, was sent out to
all of last years squad. including mem
bers of the Varsity. scrub and class teams,
besides other undergraduates who have
signified their intention of trying for the
1901 Varsity. 1t is expected that 40 or 50
men will report at that time for active
work
Coach Woodruff is at present taking his
vacation at Rangeley Lakes. Maine This
is not far from where Nate Folwell,
PenDS famous end rush OF 81 and 9S,
lives, and rumors have been afioat that
Nate would return this year and captain
the team. He still has a year in college
to complete his course. and would be eli
gible to play. Under the circumstances
he would be decided acquisition to the
team, as there are very few tried men
of Folwelrs family, who spent some time
at Islesboro Me-. lately, said a few days
ago that Nate would not play. as his time
that Nate would probably help out as a
member of the board of coaches.
Active work is now going on at Frank
lin Field in preparation for the coming
season. The permanent stands which are
planned will not be built this year, but
several changes will be made in the field.
Instead of four stands enclosing the grid
iron, as in previous years. there will be
but three. stand is now being erected
on the north side of the field which will
have the largest seating capacity of any
stand ever built on Franklin Field. 1t
will accommodate LOCO people. The old
baseball stand at the east end of the field
has been torn down, and a new one, seat
ing 800, will be built. With the south
stand Franklin Field will have a seating
capacity of % 900. No stand will be built
on the west end of the field, and this plot
of ground will be utilized for an auxiliary
gridiron.
The University Athletic Association
makes an important announcement in re-
gard to the seating of the unders faduates.
For years the students have contended
for seats in the same section for the big
games well as the small ones. Usually
the students were given seats in central |
sections for the small games and seats |
for the big games in the end stands. This |
caused great deal OF dissatisfaction, and |
after many petitions the association has |
given in. This should cause an increase |
in the undergraduate membership of the |
4 association

The Kaiser Failing Mentally

London, April 6.-The eyes OF all
Europe are directed uneasily toward
the German empire. TIE general be.
lief In political circles is that the Kaiser
having interpreted the attack upon
him at Bremen as al indication that he
has lost his popularity. intends By q
big stroke to astonish the nation aud
win the admiration OF his subjscts. Re-
ports that the Kaser's health is failing,
and that he is breaking down mentally,
serve TO increase the fears which are en-
tertsined regarding him and bis actions.
The Spectator today says: There are
actually whispers of regency 10 order
that the emperor might enjoy long
term Of tranquility 10 which TO recruit.
There ia little doubt that public conf
dence In him is shaken and there is
some reason TO apprehend that he may
try to re-establish 1t by some act which
would hardly be one of legislation"
The Review evidently suspects that
the Kaiser will seek On outlet by fitting
against the Monroe doctrine aud the
same publication adds: "The Monroe
doctrine mensces the legitimate devel,
opment OF European countries. We
have reason to know that 1t has excited
the gravest approximations for the fu.
ture in the governing circles OF Ger
many"
The Revue Medicale of Paris says
that the Kaiser Ia suffering from nerv-
Gus disease caused by oyerwork, but
due in reality to constitutional causes.
His physicians are uneasy.
