The trial of Deputy Sheriff William H.
Embrey, charging him with the murder OF
James A. Whalen, has been set for Mon
day, December 4. Mr.. Edward c. Peter of
the local bar has been retained to defend
the prisoner. Embrey was indicted on the
charge of shooting Whalen about IL O'Clock
the night of November 9. the wounded man
dying in Georgetown University Hospital
twenty-four hours later. Embrey claims
he shot In self-defense. The dying state
ment of Whalen contradicts him. however,
on this point, alleging that the shooting
was without proyocation.

TO PLAY OFF A TIE.
Technical and Eastern High Schools to
Meet This Afternoon.

The foot ball teams Of Technical and
Eastern High Schools will line up at the
American League Park this afternoon to
play off the tie which was played On Octo-
Der q. The indications are that Technical
will win, as Eastern will be deprived of the
services of Capt Field, who has been sus-
pended indefinitely by Principal Swartzell
The loss of Field by Eastern can hardly be
estimated, as he is the life of the team of
the baby blue and white, and without their
leader it is more than probable that Tech
meal will win from Eastern easily. This
morning Coach Hecox of Technical, who is
of the faculty Of the Manual Training
school. called up Principal SwartEell over
the telephone and asked him If he could
not allow Field to play in the contest this
afternoon, as Technical wished to play the
same team that the tie had been played
with. ,
The Eastern principal was obdurate, and
Field will not be in the contest. 1t is un,
fortunate that the Eastern captain should
have to leave the game at this time, when
his services are most needed by the East-
ern foot ball team, but the principal was
emphatic In his statement to Coach Hecox.

Pre-Language Thought of Deal Mute'

FROM the heaQer-
Teachers of the deaf from the begin

ing their pupils about their pre-language
thought. The little deaf mute finds HIM
self, when he first realizes that he is 9th
er than the thing he Sees" dwelling in a
world of pantomimes. His brain is normal,
and self-expression soon becomes a neces-
sity. Therefore, he invents a language of
signs which, with more or less yigor, ac-
cording as his temperament is energetic
or tndolent, he imposes on his family cir
Gle. 1t is poor enough language--dealing
almost wholly with concrete objects-but
by 1t he can make his bodily wants known;
like the cat or the dog, the deaf child may
now tell when he Is cold or hungry or
thirsty. Unlike the cat or dog. at least so
far as we know them. the deaf-born child
tries often to ask for reasons. but he is
not easily understood. or, If understood, he
cannot be answered In his self-invented
gesture language.

taught some language.

By JOHN HAY.

The following is John Hays most

general favorite than even "Jim
Bludsoe.' These verses are includ-
ed in the "Pike County Ballads. "
They show Mr. Hay as master of
pathos and as possessed of a genius
superior to that of Bret Harte's, for
reproducing the racy tlalect and
thought of the West:
| don't 60 much on religion,
never amt had no show:
But I'ye got middlin' tight grip, sir.

And free-will, and that sort of thing,
But l b'lieve in God and the angels,
Ever sence one night last spring.

And my little Gabe come along,
No fOur-year-old in the county
Could beat him for pretty and strong,
Peart and clipper and sassy,
Always ready to swear and fight
And I'd larnt him TO chaw terbacker
Jest to keep his milk-teeth white.

And left the team at the door.

But we rOusted up some torches, y
And sarched for 'em far and near
At last we struck hosses and wagon,
Showed under a soft white mound.

Attorney General Bellinger and the
present Assistant Attorney General
Townsend. These gentlemen have been
associated together in the practice OF law
for more than decade, and are otherwise
most intimately connected. The dissolu-
tion is only made because the duties OF
the assistant attorney general are such as
prevent Mr.. Townsend from giving nee
essary attention to business of the firm.
Both gentlemen will continue the practice
of law in Columbia and will be associated
together in most cases, and whenever
desirable. But for Mr.. Townsend's con-
nection with the attorney generals Office
the firm relations would not be even tenn
porarily suspended.-Columbia Record.
