DEAF MADE TO HEAR.
Electrical instrument of Hutchinson
Is Proving a Success.

New York, March 27.-Another
interesting demonstration of the
powers of the ACQUISITION has been
given in this city by Inventor
Miller Reese Hutchinson. Mr..
Hutchinson selected as subjects for
experiment inmates of the New
York Academy for the instruction
of the Deaf and Dumb. Some had
been stricken at too early an age to
remember what the meaning Of
sound was, and one young girl in
particular went almost into spasmS
of delight when the ear-piece was
adjusted and she heard strains OF
music.
Mark Twain was in the little
audience, as was also Mrs. George
Dewey, wife OF the Admiral.
There WAS one skeptic present.
He was deaf, but had no faith in
the invention, so asked to be put
in the chair. This was done and
his face flushed with surprise when
he was able distinguish mamma
and papa" Mr. hutchinson said
Hello" to him and lie repeated ii.

WHY 1T TURNED BACK.

A great deal Of comment has
bson made in the newspapers
over the fact that SO important Q
train as tho Palm Limited should
have boon turned back twenty.
two miles in order to take aboard
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and q
party of friends. They were At
tho station ready to take the
train at Pineland, but 1t went on
by, being finally stopped ut Har-
deeville and brought back for the
party.
The circumstance has been tele-
graphed all over the country and
the impression seems to have got
ton out that the train turned
back simply because these people
are mllllonslres and persons of
Influence. This ls not the case
as has been learned here. II
seems that Pineland had been
"bulletlned" as a flag station to
stop this train. The engineer had
overlooked the tact, 1T being one
OF no great Importance In view
OF the tact that Plneiand IL a side
track out In the woods.
However, being such q station
passengers had pert ect right to
board the train at that place.
When the Palm Limited hove IN
sight 1t was tagged, but the engI-
neer not having noticed that 1t
had been made stop station.
went GA by. An attempt Was
made TO stop the tram aC The next
station hnown &s Iliiman, but
the operator Tor sUme reasuu Ia.I-
ed to do so.
When the train got to Hardee-
Vile the club car was detached
and was ruu back Ior the party.
IL was stated by one familiar
with railroad rules and laws that
this had to De done or The compa.
ny would have been liable Ior
damages. IL Was luther stated
that II u negro hau desired to
get ON the train under similar
circumstances that 1t would have
been necessary to 70 back for
him II q suit of damages was to
be avoided. Inc railroad, there.
fore, holds that 1T did not send
back the train because the would.
be passengers were mlilionairs,
but that 1T was done for the pro.
lection OF the road.
AS people all over the country
have been wondering at the cause
OF the train going back, these
facts are stated as matters of In.
