Caleb Powers PardOned.

Frankfort, KY, June 15.-By an
nouncing the pardon today of Caleb
Powers and James Howard, Governor
Wilson closed the last chapter in one
of the most noted criminal cases in
the history of this state, in which
people all over the United States
have formally expressed their inter-
est by signing petitions for pardon.
In the closing days of January,
eight years ago, while the contest Of
William Goebel for the seat occupied
by Governor Taylor was being held,
Goebel was shot, dying later from
his wound. The shot was believed
to have come from a half-open win
dow of the Secretary of States office
and, as Caleb Powers was then fill
ing that position, suspicion was at
once directed toward him and his ar
rest followed.
Four times has Powers been put
on trial for his life, and at three OF
these trials the jury brought in
verdict of conviction and sentence,
death being the penalty in two trials.
Many hundreds of thousands OF
signatures of people of all parties
and from all sections of the country
were appended to the petitions that
poured in on Governor Wilson, who
fnp Ho has hnon cnnSi6Qr-

The Deaf and Dumb.

IN early times it was an opinion,
maintained even by philosophers, that
the education Of the deaf and dumb
was impossible. 1t was then believed
that language could be acquired only
through the medium Of the ear, al
shown by the couplet of Lucretius:
To instruct the deaf no art could ever
reach.
No care improve them and no wisdom
teach.
The first mention Of instruction for
the deaf and dumb is found in Bede.
A. D. 6S5. No other case Is met with
for some centuries. Rudolfus Agric-
ola Of Heidelberg makes mention of
an educated deaf mute in his "Dialec.
tica," 148O. 1t was not until 1920 that
