The writer publishes a running de-
scriptive account of his travels and
observations and one of the most re-
markable as we'll as one of the most
interesting accounts given is one de-
scriptive of the remarkable achieve
ments of child who was practically
deaf and dumb. Some of her achieve
ments suggest the marvellous acquire
ments, as the result of years of care
full education. of Helen Keller of the
present day. In its odd style and with
the use of the old-fashioned long IS"
which is like the "f of the present
day, the story os 1885 says of this
child:
And since am on the subject of the
changes that have been made in ma
ture l shall add one of another sort,
that 1 examined while at Geneva:
There is minister of S. Gervais. Mr..
Cody, who hath a daughter that Is
now Is years old. Her nurse had an
extraordinary thickness of hearing; at
a year old the child spoke all those
little words that children begin fully
to learn at that age, but she made
no progress; yet this was not observed
till it was too late, and as she grew
TO be years old they perceived then
that she had lost her hearing and was
so deaf than ever since, though she
hears great noises, yet she hears moth
ing that one can speak to her.
But the child hath by observing the
motions of the mouths and lips of 9TH
ers acquired SO many words that out
of these she hath formed a sort of lar
gon, In which she can hold conversa.-
ton whole days with those that can
speak her own language. 1 could un-
derstand some of her words, but could

that this did not go far and that she

misery of her deafness. I examined
this matter critically, but only the sis

DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will
positively cure every form of womanly
disease which is durable by medicine. 1t
has often cured forms of disease which
local physicians had pronounced incur
able by medicine, insisting on an opera
ton as the only way of relief. rFavorite
Prescription" is reliable regulator; it
dries the drains which weaken women,
heals inflammation and liberation and
cures female weakness. Taken as a
preparative for maternity it gives the
mother abundant vigor and vitality and
makes the baby's advent practically
painless. As tonic for weak, nervous
women or nursing mothers, it excels all
the so called tonics, which are only
stimulants in disguise. vFavorite Pre-
scription is a strengthening and not a
stimulating medicine. 1t contains no
alcohol, neither opium, cocaine nor any
other narcotic. 1t is purely vegetable
preparation and cannot disagree with
the weakest condition. If you are led
to the purchase of vFavorite Prescrip-

do not accept a substitute which has
none of these cures to its credit.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2S.-In the
presence of Japanese royalty and

and naval, and under the eyes of 10000
persons West Point defeated Annapo-

The final verdict in the contest was
II to 0 in favor of the soldiers. and all
the scoring was lone in the first half,
when the West Pointers consistently
outplayed the middies.
The second half was a different sto-

ices of about half her best men, who
had been retired to the side line with
injuries, Annapolis rallied desperately

GUN CLUB
LEAVES NEW JERSEY.
One Of the Organizations Which
Fought the Anti Pigeon
Shooting Bill.

I One Of the organizations that fought
the anti pigeon shooting bill in the
legislature was the Carteret Gun
Club, of Westield. When the shoot
ng of pigeons was abolished in New
York State, the Carteret Gun Club
moved from Garden City to Westfield.
Now it has gone back to Long Island
and will hereafter shoot clay targets.
1t has removed its old clubhouse from
the vicinity Of the Garden Uity Hotel
to the Hampstead Plains, about a mile
east of the depot and north Of the
Queens-N Nassau County Fair Grounds !.
In about two weeks the club will hold
the first Of its clay pigeon shooting
contests.
In the al gument OH the hill before
the legislature. the gun club said the
money they bad invested in clubhouse
and land would be lost should the
bill pass II was replied that they
could shoot clay birds and that trap
shooters who had adopted the mani.
mate target liked it. Now the Carteret
Club has followed the example of
other trnp-shooters, and it is in order
for tho Riverton Gun Club, of Burl.
ington county, TO do the same. 1t is
safe to predict that in time they will
not regret the enforced change.

LABOR coNeREss.



SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2S. The
American Federation of Labor at its
session complied with the request Of
former Secretary of State Foster and
went OF record as being in favor of in
ternational arbitration.
The convention voted to do all in its
power toward Identifying and making
more sanitary the cities of the United
States.
The report of the committee on build
ing trades councils recommended the
utilization of the building trades alli-
ance with the American Federation OF
Labor, the enactment of Il law giving
mechanics and laborers prior claim in
liens and the obtaining of a strong
employers liability act. The report
was unanimously adopted.
President Gompers spoke of a rumor
that had gained some currency to the
fife that an effort would be made at
the next session of congress to take
from government employees the right
to become union Eien. He said that he
did not credit the rumor, but if the is
sue should come organized labor would
vehemently express itself and fix tile
responsibility for such an un-American
act.
