The story Of Laura Bridgman, the girl
who was deaf and dumb and blind and the
wonderful processes of DR.. Howe, by which
she was educated, has often been told in
brief. In this volume it is related in full.
DR.. Howe's wonderfully ingenious and pa
tient methods are infinitely described, to-
gether with their progressive results in de-
veloping the unfortunate girls mental pow
ers. Besides DR.. Howe's records, which are
largely drawn upon, the book contains
Laura's own journals and extracts from
journals of different teachers. 1t is edited
by two of DIR. Howe's daughters. Boston,:

A "Pansy" Story.

Admirers of Mrs. G.. r. Alden's "Pansy'
books will be pleased with this new story.
Like all of her works, it has been written
with a moral purpose, and contains enough
OF the dramatic element to make it inter-
esting. Each of the four girl friends. who
part on leaving college, passes through
youngest and gaycst, wades through such
seas of trouble as are seldom encountered
IN mortal experience. This is no book for
children. 1t contains a serious warning,
and Is an cutlery against MormoniSm.

DOTEN PASSES AWAY.
Funeral Services Held Sat-
urday at Carson
Career Of the Distinguished Pioneer,
Mintr, journalist and
Humanitarian.

On Thursday, November 18th, ALI
Doten died peacefully at his place Of
residence at carson City. The
funeral took place on Saturday, the
18th. He had attained the age OF
seventy four, and leaves to mourn his
loss a wife, daughter, two sons and
innumerable friends.
All Doten, one OF the old time news
paper men identified with the palmy
days of the Comstock, was born in
Plymouth, Mass, on July q, 1929.
He is direct and lineal descendent
OF the Pilgrim Fathers, and from
them inherited those sturdy traits OF
character which made him so beloved
both as miner and a journalist in
the west.
As a boy he shipped with the
"'49ers" on a vessel to California,
where, as placer miner in the
camps of those days, he was as well
known for his industry as he was
liked for his generosity.
In June, 1868, he first visited New.
ade, and located in Como, about
eighteen miles southwest OF Virginia
City, where he tried carpenteripg,
and then mining, neither of which
paid. While at Como, Mr., Deter
wrote letters TO various newspapers
including the Como Sentinel and the
Virginia Daily Union, the vigor anG
compass of which led the proprietors
of the latter to secure his services al
local editor. He entered upon hi.
duties in that office in December
1864, where he remained about on,
and one half years. His next en-
gagement was with the Territorial
Enterprise for the same length o
time, after which he was managing
editor of the Gold Hill News.
His unique marriage on LAX,
Tahoe in an open boat on July "a
1874, caused wide comment and wa
thoroughly indicative of his unconven
tional and nature loving disposition
He was one of the old school jour
nalists who revered the etiquette an,
ethics of the profession. In his death

Is 1T A TRADES UNION?
All School Teachers In New York
Combine.

Practically all of the teachers in
the public schools in Greater New
York have been brought together in
a powerful union, which in numbers
and strength compares favorably
with any trades union in the city.
The organization has been perfected
and will be known as the INTERIOR
ough Council of Teachers.
Except for walking delegates, the
Interborough Council possesses all
the attributes of trades union, al
though the teachers insist there is a
wide difference in their organization.
Nearly 1900 employees of the board
OF education are members OF the
council, which will be the governing
body for all teachers association
which have been in existence for
several years.
There has always been lack OF
concord in movements intended to
better the condition of the teachers
of Greater New York and it was
decided that the organization was
necessary for mutual protection

TREES TURNED TO OPAL,
Strange Scientific Discovery In
Montana.
reavennent

A Washington, d. c., exchage
gives the following account "f Mon
tana's recently discovered contribu-
ton to the scientific world: DR..
Merrill curator in the geology de-
partment of the National Museum,
has just returned from tour Of
Montana and the northwest, where
he gathered some interesting col
lections. Most people have heard Of
the petrihed forest of Arizona, but
few are aware OF the existence of
another petrified forest in Montana
of equal extent and more remarkable
that the one in the southwest.
The Arizona petrifed forest is Pc
culiar for the reason that entire trees
and logs have been turned to agate
by the action of the elements. That
of Montana is still more remarkable
for the reason that trees and logs
have been changed into opal instead
of to agate, making peculiar and
beautiful ornamental stone. 1t is not
unusual to find logs and trees con-
verified to agate, chalcedony, silica
and quartz, but aside from the Mon
tana petrified forest there is prob
ably not another example Of opalized
wood in the world.
Merrill brought back large mum.
Der of specimens, which will be placed
on exhibition in a few weeks. The
collection consists OF secretion OF logs
and limbs, in many of which the grain
OF the wood is discernible. The colors
are white, blush, smoky black, and
in every case translucent.
