Honor for Mrs. Birney.

A signal honor was also conferred upon
Mrs. Theodore Birney this morning She
is the founder of the Mothers Congress,
and was it's first president. When she re-
tired of her own volition, the congress voted
unanimously that she should be honorary
president for life. Today, on motion of
Mrs. E. c.. Grice of Philadelphia, the con-
gress voted unanimously to take her name
from the roll as honorary president and
make her title that of founder. The con-
gress accepted the suggestion with many
expressions from prominent individual
members of their extreme pleasure at what
they termed deserved tribute.
Mrs. Schoff presented to the congress a
suggestion that the time had arrived for
the National Congress of Mothers to have
an organ After some discussion the sug-
gestion was adopted, and the board of man
ayers is empowered to look into the mat
ter and select such a paper or to estab-
lish one if none suitable can be found al
ready started.
The first address of the morning was de-
livered by Miss Mary s. Garrett. president
of the Pennsylvania school for teaching
speech to deaf children, her subject being
Deaf Children Who Have Been Taught to
Speak, She had with her a class of
bright little deaf mutes who talked as well
as any child born with all it's senses. Miss
Garrett opened by saying that during the
two years since the last report the work
has been continued on the same plan fol-
lowed since the foundation of the institu-
tlOn. Iney dear children OF sound
mind at any period between the ages of
two and eight, she said. while we do not
admit deaf children for a shorter period
than six years from time of entrance, we
do not limit those who, for any reason, re-
quire longer training, to that period, but
extend it according to the needs of any
child requiring it. We, do not admit feeble
minded children, but we have had three of
the sort found in the public schools for
herring children, who are backward and
| require special training. To two such chill
dren We gave special training, and did not
advise their going to public school on
leaving here but advised their going to
work as they had both shown constructive
talent in their sloyd training here.
Knowledge Of Studies.
sIn addition to the artculate speech and
language acquired in our home life we give
the children before leaving sufficient
knowledge of school studies to enable them
to enter the fourth grade of public schools
for hearing children. We naturally prefer
that the children should enter the home at
the minimum age. The younger graduates
in the class have more natural speech than
the older ones. as the older ones all suffer
more or less from having missed natures
time for acquiring speech and language.
I'VE have a beginning class. in which
near the minimum age, and their especially
| skillful teacher Miss SIMPSON, observes
that these babies voices are not only softer
but that they initiate the words taught
them more naturally and with less effort

"C0nIe Coax Me- y

Come Coax Me" was the title of a
song which pretty 19-year-old Miss
Lola Miller sang at an amateur Minis
trel performance at Jersey Shore, Pa.
last winter. The song made great
hit, and the soloist was recalled for
several encores.
But there was one in the audience
who was hit quite differently from the
others. He was Albert Hammond.
The pleading words of the ballard
struck responsive cord in his heart,
and be sought out the solOist after the
performance to congratulate her and
to admire her at closer range.
Last week the song bore fruit in real
ity, when word was received from
Corning. N. Y, that Hammond and
Miss Miller had eloped and been mar
ried there. 1t has since developed that
Hammond. after coaxing and winning
the hand of the singer, had attempted
to coax her father to consent to the
marriage, but Papa" Miller objected
because of the tender age of his daugh-
ter.
Then there was some more coaXing,
clandestine planning aud an elOpement.
MIR. Hammond aud bride have written
to the Millers coaxing for forgiveness
wnen they return.

Good News.
HEARD IT AND PROFITED
THEREBY.

"GOod news travels fast,' and the
thousands of bad back sufferers in
StauntOn are glad to learn that prompt
relief is within their reach. Many a
lame, weak and aching back is bad no
more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills.
Our citizens are telling the good news
OF their experience with the Old Qua
ker Remedy. Here is an example worth
reading:
A. H. Bunch, retired farmer of 214
w. Water St., Charlottesville, says
''Some twelve years ago l first noticed
a dull aching across the small of my
back. l paid little attention to it at
first, but as the attacks occurred much
more frequently and were much more
acute ana there was added to them
trouble with the kidney secretions
very annoying and sometimes painful.
l commenced to doctor myself, but
even help when the attacks occurred
was just as remotely in che distance
the dav | went for Doan's Kidney
Pills as it WAS when l first noticed
that l had kidney complaint. 1t was
different entirely with their treatment.
They so washed, strengthened and
purified my kidneys that when kidney
secretiOns became normal the back
ache ceased. l am so convinced of the
| value of Doan g Kidney Pills that [
unhesitatingly recommend them''

SIemp and Lewis.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Richmond Times-D Dispatch writes:
| 1.-The impression seems to be growing
| that the Slemps would be glad to throw
| Judge Lewis overheard and run the
State republican machine without sug
gestiOn or help from the candidate,
either now or hereafter. The accept
ance of the resignation of Judge Lewis
as district attornev looks as if he will
be out entirely when the campaign ends
aud Mr.. Swanson is seen to have thir-
ty thousand majority. Several Vir-
glnia republicans seen here in the past
week have expressed the opinion that
1t was the desire of the Slemps to rid
themselves of Lewis and run the State
without the help or suggestion from
any body. 1t is regarded rs likely, how
ever, that the President has his mind
made up to take care of Judge Lewis
though not by appointing him to an
office in Virginia. possibly. for it does |
not appear that there is anything left
down there that the judge would haye. |
Mr.. Roosevelt is believed to be deter |
mined to give Judge Lewis some ap.
pointment in Washington or in the
foreign service. II is believed the
Slemps would be glad enough to have
the judge taken from Virginia. They
do not like ANYTHING resembling a di-
vision of power"
The Slemps from their actions show
plainly that they do not believe in any
division. Col. SIemp Is in Congress-;
one of his family is bis private secre-
5ary; one son is chief clerk in the in.
