Blind StenOgraphers

NEW YORK, Dec. (SpeciaD -
Through the efforts of the New York
Association for the Blind a new field
of endeavor has been opened to those
whose misfortune it is not to see.
The new work is that of shorthand
and typewriting and already there are
several experts, who excel the speed
and accuracy of tn girls who have
their sight to help them A short
hand machine has been invented with
which to take dictation. 1t resembles
a small typewriter, but has only six
keys Each of these keys when
struck produces a raised dot on a
thin ribbon of paper The various
combinations which may be obtained
by a skillful manipulation of the
keys give a wide range of symbols
After taking the dictation, the typ
list, by the touch system, can as a
rule, write the letter on the machine
much faster than the girl who has
full use of her eyes.

.FILIPINOS PREFER

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Dec. 27-
Especially - If by any chance there
should be war between Japanese and
the United States over the possession
of the Philippine Islnds, the Filipi-
nos would side with the Americans, >
said Lieutenant w. p. Screws of the
United States Army, who has been
spending Christmas with relatives in
Montgomery.
Lieutenant Screws has recently
completed his third term of service
in the Philippines. He has six times
crossed the Pacific. His long term OF
service in the islands has given the
Montgomery officer a thorough know
ledge of Philippine affairs.
1.-The Filipinos have been Impress
ed with the fair dealing of the AM
orleans The Americans have not
interfered with their customs or their
religion. 1t is believed that the
first thing the Japanese government
would do would be to abolish the
Catholic religion to which so many
of the Filipinos adhere. They have
had evidences of the way in which
the Japanese treat a subjugated race
and they would do anything in their

power to oppose Japanese dominion.
THE people generally in the is
lands are satisfied with the American
government and pleased with the re-
forms that have been brought in
There are some ambitious natives
who try to stir up strife, but their
purpose in this is to secure political
preferment in the event of a change.
Their agitation has but little re-
suit.
"Aguinaldo, the old leader is now a
citizen of Manila and on good terms
with the American officers. He has
but little influence with his people.
He Is a bright fellow, smart and
with an eye to the main chance. He
belongs to the Chino-Metze class
the class which Is brighter than any
other tribe or class of the Filipinos.
There is one thing that both Am.
orleans and the Filipinos earnestly
desire and that is some definite form
of government The islands are now
at the will Of Congress and the in
habitants only know from one session
of Congress to another what form Of
government they will have.

GIRL EMBEZZLER
STILL A MYSTERY
Suffered for Stealing
Church Funds.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL, Dec. ~
(SpeciaD After serving six months in
jail for embezzling funds belonging
to a church society of which she was
treasurer, Helen Dixon of this city is
just as much of a mystery today as
when she was convicted of the
crime Why she took the society's
funds and what she did with the
money are questions which no one
can answer. The case has attracted
attention all over the country and
in Bloomington, Mrs. Adlaid b. Stew
enson, wife of former Vice President
Stevenson, has interested herself in
the girl and has made many efforts to
obtain employment for her.
But the girl who wishes to COM
mence life anew finds herself an out
cast. No Bloomington business house
cares to employ her, for other en-
ployes refuse to work with her. En-
ployment was promised her IN Chi
cago, but when Miss Dixon reached
that city she was told the position
had been filled. Forced to return to
Bloomington, she went back to the
Jail, her only place of refuge. Then
the town gossips coupled her name
with that of a young official who had
allowed her to live at the Jail, and
he was forced to turn her out Luck
ilv she found a home with Mr.. and
Mrs Paddison.
Two years ago "The Cleaners So
ciety" was organized for the purpose
of raising money to pay for a new
church organ, and Miss Dixon, be-
cause of her knowledge of business,
was elected treasurer The society
held bakery sales and bazaars and
raised S1,233.47. AS the money was
raised it was turned over to Miss
Dixon and no one thought to ques-
tion her regarding the funds. Last
February, however, several mem
bers of the Cleaners Society asked
Miss Dixon if she had deposited the
money in bank. She gave unsatis-
factory replies and suspicion was

A meeting of the society was call
ed. Miss Dixon submitted her re-
port and presented her resignation
instantly the society was thrown into
an uproar and the members de-
manded that Miss Dixon tell them
what she had done with the money
The girl replied that she had sent ii
to brother, but she refused to say
where this brother lived.
The girl had many friends who
wished to aid her They went to the
jail and asked her for explanations
but none were forthcoming. MOI
have any been given since.

A LEAF FROM MY JOURNAL.

port and ROCk Island, having Celc-
bfated Washingtof's birthday III
very cfeditable maiiner i'll honor OF
his memory. This morning | visited
Villa de Chantal at Rock Island,
very popular school for young ladies.
Sister Borgia escorted me over the
elegant building which is conducted
by the Sisters of the Visitation. The
spacious halls with their broad staff
ways are furnished with mission fur
niturc and the walls are adorned with
paintings from the masters while the
bookcases are ornamented with min
iature busts of the musicians and
poets. A classical atmosphere pre-
vailed over the entire building with
the additional charm of tranquility
only broken now and then, by the
notes of piano, where some pupil
was struggling with her lesson.
After partaking of luncheon, / eros
sed the river to Davenport and in the
afternoon visited ST. Katherine's Hall
an Episcopalian school, under the
supervision of Sister Margaret. The
older girls were playing basket ball
in the gymnasium and | enjoyed
watching them fully as much as they
enjoyed the game. St. Katherine's
is too we'll known to make any COM
plimentary remarks about its advan-
tages. No prettier place could be Sc
lected for the erection of boarding
school than Davenport and Rock Is
land. The two cities lie in the loving
embrace of the Mississippi river. Ice
was floating in great blocks to day,
and presented picture of cold beau-
ty with the leafless trees bordering
the Arsenal, standing gaunt and
ghostlike against the winter sky
| also passed the old Davenport
homestead where Colonel Davef1-
port resided and after whom the city
of Davenport IL named. 1t is also
the home of Miss Alice French, the
we'll known writer whose pen name
is Octave Thanet. Last week | visit
ed the. Academy of the Immaculate
Conception at Davenport, conducted
by the Sisters of Mercy. Opposite
the building St. Luke's hospital is
situated 1t is an Episcopalian Insti7
tuition founded by the late lamented
and much revered Bishop William
Stevens Peny. l have met many
charming people in Davenport who
have called and extended thier hos
pitality and warm welcome to their
city, / am perfectly in love with this
section of the three little cities, with
their schools and libraries. With the
latter have become familiar, in my
daily visits and have found the librar-
ians to be ever ready to graciously
receive strangers.
