being only too glad to live independently
and make what they could toward their
living. Of course this Is only for the
poor and nearly blind, not for those
whose parents or relatives can and should
support them.
Make Good Workmen.
In handicrafts the blind girls do some
very fine hand and sewing machine
work, and lately the scholars have
work, such as is being done by the sec
ing pupils in the Minneapolis schools.
Rattan work and sloyd has also been
tried with more or less success.
One of the most noticeable phases OF
this aftlictiOn is the number Of children
seeming to have as perfect and beauti-
ful eyes as any seeing child, and there
is absolutely no way by which the unpro-
fessional spectator can tell by looking at
them, that the organ which appears so
limpid and so perfect is useless, and has
lost, or never mad, its proper function.
The school for the blind has the small
est number Of inmates of all the three
schools, though there is now a larger
number in attendance than ever before,
eighty-five being a small enrolment
when compared to the seven or eight
hundred at the school for the feeble
minded.
The two schools. the school for the
deaf and the school for the blind, are
very proud of their graduates, some or
whom have obtained very high honors
in competition with normal people, and
with no allowance for their heavy handi-
cap. Alexander Campbell, Of Mankato
for example, graduate of the school,
blind as he is, is Ph.D. of Yale, the
only blind man probably in the world
who has obtained such an honor. Fred
Farmer, another graduate Of this school,
is also a graduate of the University OF
Minnesota. John J. Linehan, a well
known musician. owns this institution as
his alma mater, and Charles McGInn1s.
another graduate, is a prominent musi1
clan in Benson, Minnesota
Last year, through the efforts of Sena-
tor Charles Dart, Of IitchfieId the law
department. of the State University Of
Minnesota, was thrown open free of COST
to the blind who wished to become law
yers.

Irish Museum at worrd,s Fair.

The Irish people will be represented at
the st. Louis worlds fair with an ex-
hlplt which will show the other people Of
the world what an important factor that
race OF people has been in it's develop
ment," said Capt. John J. O'Connor sec
rotary of the Irish Worlds Fair associa-
tlon, to a press representative. "Under
the flag of every nation on the globe IN
1rlshman will be found in the front rank
as citizen, soldier and statesman, and
yet at the great international expositions
OF the past Ills mighty race of people
nave had no distinctive representation
OUTSIDE OF an alleged Irish village in the
midway. 1t is high time Irishmen Of
bra1ns and culture took this matter in
hand. In st. Louis Irishmen there are
plenty who realize the truth of the sit
uatlon. They have perfected the organ
fZation Of the Irish Worlds Fair associa-
ton, and it has been decided that the ex-
hibit which it will have at the Louisiana
Purchase exposition in 1903 shall be made
permanent after the fair, and shall be
known as The Irish National Museum.
A corporation with a capital of 5000
divided into 100000 shares of 81 each, will
invite lrishmen In all parts of the world
to become stockholders. The building
this company will erect will be a fire
proof, permanent structure. and in it will
be stored display Of Irish products an
tqu1tieS, literature and arts"
The officers Of the Irish Worlds Fair
association, of st. Louis, Mo-, are among
the foremost business and professional
men of the city, and many of them are
members of the directory of 1903 of lhe
Louisiana Purchase exposition.
An Irish Worlds Fair comission will
be appointed in every state and territory
of the United States; commissioners will
be appointed in several foreign countries,
and it is probable that an honorary board
of foreign directors will be chosen. me
organization of a ladies' auxiliary is also
under consideration

left thus alone did not long cling to the
old faith. To be sure it was for four
years without a friend, philosopher Or
guide, and the best Of buildings, like the
best Of people, needs some encouraging
support.
Four years Of reflection led the little
church to adopt a new faith, a faith
that has no special name, and in st Paul,
at least. numbers only about forty mem
bers. Once more the gold-worded sign
near the entrance was changed, AMI the
church became known as the Gospel
Tabernacle, and by that name it IS call
ed today The first pastor of this new
congregation was Rev. T. c. Horton, who
now resides In Dallas, Tex. Perhaps the
little church's own seeming Inconsistency
has had some influence on the people
whom has from time to time housed.
Certain 1t Is that Mr.. Horton started out
in life as a Presbyterian pastor, having
charge Of the Goodrich Avenue Presby-
terrain church here in st. Paul. Then he
gathered around him a little body Of fol-
lowers, who took the brick chapel for
their meeting place. Mr.. Horton serged
as pastor of the Gospel Tabernacle a
couple Of years and then he went 70
Texas, where he has now charge of n
congregational church. Rev. J. S. Det-
wiler Is the present pastor.

other natural and political division rails

erected instead of facing a well kept CITY
park as it does today it looked out in the
summer at a big field of nodding clover
In the winter there was for an outlook a
great stretch of drifted snow In those
early days of half a century ago the lit
tie church was considered a handsome
edifice. There was no imposing neighbor
near to rob it of its dignity. Today it Is
huddled In between two aggressive dwell
ing houses that seem to begrudge it the
space 1t occupies in the middle of the
block, between Fourth and Fifth streets
Yet in the summer the little church can
still get glimpse of the stretch of
green in the park. In the winter it can
study the fantastic shapes into which
Jack Frost and the snow transform the
leaf1ess trees. Children still visit this
green space in the summer, though thew
are not the children of fifty years ago
Perhaps the little church tucked in he
tween its two unfrfendly neighbors philos-
ophizes on this. Perhaps its signs for
that earlier period Of wide stretches of
space and simpler hammered people. IF
1t does, it has no means of confiding IFS
fancies or complaints TO anybody. for the
Dell IN the old belfry, which once served
the church for a voice, no longer hangs
there. The church stands mute and for
lorn. If the bell were back, however. and
were coaxed into "reminiscences it would
surely have some interesting things to
tell. Concerning the little brick building
itself these tales would not all be pleas
ant. Unfortunately, the tiny church has
proved Itself a sad turncoat.

Benjamin F. Hoyt, a local preacher, who
was the church's first minister, 1t housed
a deyout little congregation of fifty or
more souls for almost twentyfour years.

of the blind, too, when seen for the first
time produce this same uncanny effect.
Much of the writing at this school is
done according to an abbreviated method
instead of the ordinary full spelling out
Of each word. Dots grouped in a certain
arbitrary way denote the different letters
of the alphabet. For example, two dots
near the top of the line mean "a three
near the bottom gu" Beside this, there
are word signs and combinations of let
tiers, such as "ch,' "the," and so on.
This is the celebrated New York point
system. AS the children read they pass
the tips Of the fingers of both hands over
the line, and the rapidity and certainty
of their reading is marvellous
Music Also Taught
Music is naturally the most important
department at this institution, though, Of
course, the scholastic training is not
neglected for it. 1t is taught, not only as
means of livelihood, but as a recrea-
ton; for the resources Of the blind are
limited, and books for them are few
and expensive. The blind man or woman
who can play the piano or the organ we'll
can earn fair competence as a music
teacher, or can help to support himself
or herself as a church Organist. Piano
tuning is also taught as a profession, and
one of the most prominent music firms in
the graduates of the state school for the
blind at Faribault.

LAWN CHEMISES.

Old landmarks, in this hurried modern
age, have fashion of disappearing from
the face of the earth without one sin
gle friend pausing to give them thought.
Yesterday they lifted their hoary heads
in a mute protest against the irreverence
of a f1ippant generation. Today they are
struck down and contemptuously ordered
away as if in punishment for their pre-
sumption.
st. Paul has dealt rather gently with
her landmarks, but in spite of this there
are not many buildings now standing
in the city to which the old inha bitant
can point with tremulous finger and con-
corning which he can, like the melancholy
Dane, "a tale unfold" that would deal
not with crime, to be sure, but with some
bit of early St. Paul history.
One of these buildings is the old Market
Street Methodist chapel. Just fifty-two
years ago last October this little brick
chapel was erected in the village Of St
Paul Today it still stands the Oldest
church in the city. When it was first

mat and rug weaving, hammock weav-
ing, broom and mattress making, and in
the musical department they are taught,
beside the piano and organ, the violin,
the viola, violincello, pccolO, flute and
other orchestral instruments, and they
have quite a respectable orchestra at
this school under the leadership of the
same master, w. H. Holden as the
orchestra at the school for the feeble
minded.
Miss Mamie Buskett is the director Of
the musical department, and also teacher
of singing, solo and choral. The girls
learn the instrument for which they seem
to have the most taste, and are instruct
ed in sewing, knitting, croeheting, dress
making, ETC., while both boys and girls
do bead work, partly to acquire dizziness
of hand and finger, and also to receive
the mental benefit manual training al
ways imparts.
The days work is carefully divided into
morning and evening work, the former
consisting Of intellectual and musical in
struction, and the latter of industrial and
musical training.
Kindergarten and manual training are
even more important for the blind child
than for the seeing one, as the blind must
depend upon the sense of touch for so
much that the normal child perceives
with the eye. Yet only too frequently the
blind child at home is not allowed to use
his hands freely both because it is fear
ed he may hurt himself and because it is

One of the greatest deprivations of the
blind is the lack of reading matter.
There are two magazines published in
