DEAF mUTE's CONVENTION.
interesting, Though Silent, Gathering
in Denver.

Denver.-The second biennial con
yentiOn of the Colorado Association OF
Deaf Mutes. which began Thursday in
the Chamber of Commerce hall. was a
wonderful demonstration of the prog.
ress made in sign language.
The greatest novelty was five young
women who recited without emitting
a sound rhythmic and graceful in mo.
tion. their rendition seemed to lac as
pleasing to those who could follow
them as vocal quintet to music low
ers.
The Colorado deaf mutcs evidently
have come up TO Denver with tE- full
intention of having as good time as
any noisy aggregation that ever

they did all that others can accom-
plish. When their president, George
w. Veditz, addressed them. although
there was not sound except the
smack of his hands as he emphasized
his POINTS, all were attentive. Their
earnest faces, mods of approval and
rounds of applause were as emphatic
and genuine as if they had been deaf
cning.
The officers of the association are:
G. W. Veditz, Colorado Springs. presi-
dent; n. NJ Harbert, Colorado Springs,

Mrs. Myers was when discovered
After examining the premises careful
ly the detectives held conference in
the woodshed and agreed that Mrs
Myers herself was the murderess. The
detectives examined her hands close
ly and found dried blood beneath her
finger nails and around the edges of
them. They found that during the
night a fire had been kindled in the
parlor stove and that a woman's
nightgown had been partially burned
there. The sleeves, which were
soaked in blood. remained unburned
in the stove. Upon window sill in
the kitchen, hidden behind the cur
tain and wrapped in a cloth, was
found pair of scissors. Their points
fitted exactly into the stab wounds in
the dead mans back. In a bureau
drawer. with the shaving material of
the dead man, was found the blood
smeared razor with which his throat
had been cut. The detectives search
ed further. They even took off the
backs of pictures hanging upon the
wall. They pulled out an organ, un-
screwed the back of it and found
tucked away in an obscure corner. the

said the negroes had stolen from her
Beneath a pile of blankets in a
closet was found black felt hat
which had been literally soaked in
blood An effort had been made to
wash it before it was put beneath the
blankets. but there was blood in
plenty upon it, With the hat was a
shirt, the sleeves of which were
bloody, and pair of bloody cuffs
When confronted with these things
Mrs. Myers merely smiled and stuck
to her first story about the negroes.
She was not arrested. but was watch
ed closely by the detectives.
For a month the murder was a mys-
terry. Mrs. Myers stuck to her first
story. The police believed that there
was man somewhere, a lover of
hers. who had helped in the murder.

THE BUTTER BILLS.
Two Ways in Which They Can Be
Materially Decreased.

A thrifty housewife declares that
her butter bills have fallen off one
quarter since she began serving her
butter in the form of butterballs.
Apart from the economy of the thing.
there is no question as to the com.
parative daintiness and attractiveness
OF serving butter in one wholesale
lump. and in collection of dainty,
symmetrical balls. Abroad where
fresh, unsalted butter is served as
a matter of course, it generally comes
on the table in a sequence of little
dabs or long. shallow roll. People
who have acquired the fresh butter
taste find it hard to go back to the
salty product of the American cream.
cry, and there is no reason why they
should provided there is some one in
the family with sufficient leisure to
make IA little butter two or three
times a week. 4 quart of double
cream will make nearly pound of
butter. and any child with strength
enough to use rotary beater can
do the rest.

TO DIVIDE ATLANTIC FLEET.
Several Cruisers Will Be Taken &c
Asiatic Station After Maneuvers.

Washington.-When the maneuvers
of the Atlantic fleet are completed
this formidable array of sea fighters
is to be dispersed. Rear Admiral
Brownson will take some of the best
armored cruisers to the Asiatic sta.
tion, and the other ships will be sent
to places along the coast, the princi
pal rendezvous of most of them to be
at Hampton Roads.
Admiral Brownson will pay no duty
calls on his voyage, and it is not con
templated that he will return the Wis
its of either the English or French
squadrons.
1t is pointed out that Prince Louis
of Battenburg, who recently visited
the United States with an English
squadron. was returning a call made
by an American squadron under com
mand of Rear Admiral Cotton. and
that it is not the custom of navies to
rush back to return a friendly visit of
foreign power. but that such court
estes require due deliberation and for
NAL methods.

Danville, HIN the convention of
the Eighteenth Illinois Congressional
district which Thursday renominated
Joseph C. Cannon for the eighteenth
consecutive time. being the seven
teenth nomination by acclamation,
there was the greatest enthusiasm
especially over the prospective candi-
dacy of Mr.. Cannon for President.
Mr.. Cannon had not intended to
launch a boom for President at this
convention, but the pressure of his
supporters was so great as to sweep
away his wishes in the matter.
Mr.. Cannon's supporters in his own
district will likely urge the state con-
vention to make similar endorsement.
There seems to be little doubt that
this will be done.
The conventions endorsement Of
Mr.. Cannon Cor President was unani-
nous and resolution to this effect
was adopted amid the greatest enthu-
siasm.
Mr.. Cannon, after the passage of the
resolution endorsing him for Presl-
dent, said:

Kansas City, Mo.-"Is Mrs. Agnes
Myers to be the first woman hanged
in Missouri, or will Gov. Folk com
mute her sentence of death to one
of life Imprisonment"
These questions are being asked by
nearly everyone in Missouri. Mrs.
Myers was sentenced to be hanged
June 90. The supreme court had re-
fused her a new trial. But the gov
ernor granted her respite until
September 3.
Mrs. Myers was convicted of the
murder of her husband, Clarence My
ers. Her motive was that she might
be free to marry Frank Hoffman.
Hoffman held the husband while the
faithless wife cut nine great gashes
in his throat, face and chest with his
own razor.
The supreme court it passing upon
