WHERE THE DEAF HEARD,
Sign Language Used for an Audience
of Supposed Mutes.

Sign Language Used for an Audience
of Supposed Mutes.
IF you had talked Greek to a big
audience for an hour and then had dis.
covered that all those present were
Italians and spoke no other language,
you would be able TO appreciate the
feelings of the Rev. Thomas Gallaudet.
In New York recently" said New
York travelling man at the Aragon yes
terday.
"He thought he was addressing an
audience of deaf mutes. The fact was
that all but six Of the 700 persons pres
ent were possessed of all their senses
and had come out of curiosity, while
the mutes, whom the meeting was in
tended to attract, had remained away.
THE parallel is scarcely exact, but II
Is certain that the clergyman who has
done so much for the deaf and dumb
was disappointed.
He had planned a great meeting in
Holy Trinity Protestant Episcopal
Church at 122d street and Lenox ave-
nue. He is rector of St. AIMS at 14Stb
street and Amsterdam avenue. but had
left his own church to deliver an ad-
dress to the afflicted at Holy Trinity.
HE had beside him a trusty inter
prefer, who, rs the Rev. Mr. Gallaudet
unrolled his eloquence, translated if on
fingers, and thumbs to the great audi
ence in waiting. Sentence after SEN
tence was thus made clear to a church
full of supposed deaf mutes.
THE clergyman was profound and
eloquent. The interpreter was indus
trious and his fingers were weary.
And all the time those who listened
understood the preachers words at
first hand, each thinking that his neigh
Dor had no ears to hear, while the
neighbor glanced at him in pity. quiet
ly bewailng the (as he supposed fact
that the interpreter was necessary.
mot until the service was over and
explanations were in order was 1t made
clear Il at the audience was composed
of human beings whose five senses
were In working order and that there
were but six or seven deaf mutes In
the congregation.

The man in Peru cares little whether
or not there is a good BURBERRY crop in
New England, and he has no pangs of
sorrow when the peach crop in Califor-
MIA falls. He has his own troubles.

ton, sir, when such things as this can

passing the summer OH Cape Cod. He
had the morning paper in his hand, and
addressed his remark to Capt. Eli
Waters, who was sitting beside him on
a wharf bench.
Captain Waters was also reading a
paper. He looked up with sober face.

tenn, and when he had bankrupted
Monte Carlo he was to turn to the re-
sorts at Nice and Ostend, and do the
same for them. He failed, as others
had failed before him. And just as he
had lost his last penny another man
was playing the bank and winning.
This latter was Charles NJ. Schwab,
the president of the billion dollar steel
trust. He had gone to Monte Carlo for
recreation and had tried his luck In the
gambling room merely as diversion.
While 1t might be too much to say that
he did not care whether he lost or won,
1t certainly Is true that he had no great
hopes of winning, and yet he stood
$4,000 to the good on the same day
that the Earl of Rosslyn had lost his
last sou and had quilted Monaco In dis
gust.
The scheme of Lord Rosslyn was well
advertised. He had, he claimed, learned
the secret of breaking the bank from
a man who had made life study OF
trente-et quarante. the game to be
played. The reason the SCHEME was
NOT tried before was because no one
person could manage 1t and beside 1t
required a good deal of capital. When
Lord Kosslyn acquired the secret ne
formed company and Invited the pub
lie to buy shares. He then secured SIX
expert PLAYERS who were initiated into
the secret under the eyes of Lord Ross
lyn himself. six players were selected
because OF the great strain entailed
owing to intricate mental calculations
and the plan of operation was that
when one player became exhausted an
other was to take his place. And yet,
the much advertised scheme failed mis-
erably.
Lord Rosslyn has led varied career.
He has been rancher in Australia, a
sugar planter In the United States.

There may be cynical persons upon
whom Mr.. Carnegie's buoyancy of
spirits and optimism will act like black
bile. And " such there be they Will
say that It is easy to be cheerful with
an income of millions year, and that
laughing while others work Is an EN-
ployment that would not be ungrateful
to most men. But to laugh during ones
work, as Mr.. Carnegie advises, Is GER
tainly much better than to weep OF to
grumble. A sunny temper helps In the
immediate task; 1t helps to preferment
IL It is combined with industry and
fair ability 1t counts for good work and
for success every moment. Its inhu-
ence Is always beneficial, and the cir
cumstances Of the rich ironmaster do
not affect the soundness OF his doc
trine. Rich and poor should subscribe
to that doctrine with equal heartiness
and recognize that the way toward
which this joyous teacher points Is the
way of health strength and happiness.
At the same time 1t might be urged
that he should have been little more
definite when he came to the question
of a competence. While we are all
agreed that superhuous wealth Is SUI
perfuous, there must be considerable
variety of opinion as to the exact sum
that should be laid aside for the rainy
day and the days of life's decline. Mr..
Carnegie lets In just glimmer or
light on his personal convictions CON
corning the subject when he says that
he himself Is loaded with somewhat
more than competence. But we
should like a more accurate weighing
of the load. The modest word some
what" suggests that perhaps 1t was
only the last million that made Itself
felt as a burden. Yet 1t Is possible
that the strain began with the last ten
million or the second hundred million
In any case, competence can hardly
mean the same thing to him that 1t
Goes to the day laborer, and though he
advises well 1t Is doubtful II he would
be content with the smaller compe-
tence which he approves. There Is the
castle In Scotland which he would
have to resign, and those frequent and
pleasant trips abroad. They are not
strictly necessary, and vet when one
had formed the habit of castles and
long journeys some pent-up suburb Of
small homes In the vicinity of Pitts
burg might leave something to be de-
sired: But competence that has been
won through years of toll with the
help of wife who has been
good manager sometimes goes no fur
Their than the humblest of homes and
the slenderest of incomes, and 1t hap
pens occasionally that the hardest of
struggles does not bring even such Il
competence. The promise is never GER
tain. and yet in spite of all this there
Is wisdom in Mr.. Carnegie's phlloso-
ply. Laughtec is Il tonic, worry is a
poison. No sentence of The Scriptures
conveys more wholesome lesson than
the injunction: Fret not myself; 1t
tendeth only to evil"
