COMPANION OF HELEN
KELLER is GOING BLIND.
Mrs. John Albert Macy Educated Mar
velous Mute by Means of
Touch Language.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-News comes 10
New York from Wrentham, Mass, that
Mrs. John Albert Macy, who was Miss
Anne Mansfield Sullivan, for twenty
years the companion of Helen Keller, is
going blind. Mrs. Macy'is afflicted with
traumatic cataract. and it is feared she
wi. entirely lose her eyesight.
1t is to Mrs. Macy that Helen kellsr
owes her education. and the fact that
she is today a living example of the
fact that love and patience can over
come the worst of Affections. Until
Helen Keller was Z years old, she sat in
darkness and silence. being deaf, dumb
and blind. Then Miss Sullivan mas
tered the means of communication with
the girl, and by the touch Language,
which she invented, began her educa-
tion.
The story of Miss Keller and her
achievements is known to everyone, and
it is to the woman, whose friends now
believe is fast losing her sight, that she
owes it all.

BAN ON OPIUM TO THE
PHILIPPINES MARCH |
Natives as Well as Chinese Residents
of Islands Who Use Drug Per-
turbed at News.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Within a
little over a months time the law pro-
hibiting the importation of opium into
the Philippines will become effective,
and there is much speculation among
the Filipinos in regard to the probable
effect of the law. A large quantity of
opium is consumed in the islands,
mainly by the large Chinese element,
but the habit of opium-smoking has
been rapidly extending among the
native F%ilipinos, and even among the
Americans. Congress has passed an
act intended to correct the evil, but
there is great doubt OF the ability OF
the confirmed opium user to abandon
the drug, and a considerable agitation
has been taking place in the Philip
pines with the object of securing an
extension of the time permitted for the
stoppage of the traffic.
To prevent any misunderstanding on
the subject. John S. Hord, the collector
of internal revenue OF the islands, has
informed the provincial treasures and
other citizens of the Philippines that
he feels authorized in declaring that
Congress will not extend the time
beyond the first of March in which
opium can be imported, and he ap-
peals to the Chinese in Manila to as
sist his office in preventing Illicit inn
Ecrtaton of opium after that date.

Acting-detective John F. Harris, who

Harris and his companion say they
heard of the plot of the two men and
lay in wait for them. They brought the
girl to the saloon of Michael Hondle-
man, 1853 Market street. last night. He
refused to admit her, and referred them
to another saloonkeeper. The trio no
sooner left the saloon than they were
placed under arrest.
At police headquarters Pizza was
searched and on his person was found
a slungshot. He was arraigned be-
fore Judge Howell in the First Criminal
Court today on a charge Of carrying
concealed weapons. On this charge he
was held in $1,000 bonds to await the
who al present when the slungshot
was found on Pizza, was held in $500
bonds as a witness.
A serious charge was made against
the girl, who claimed that she lives in
the home of Nofriglielle at l16 Garside
street.

%TETRAzzlNI'S TRIUMPH.
Great Throng Goes Wild over New
Soprano at Manhattan.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Awakening
the musical memories of the triumphs
of Adelina Patti and Christine Nilsson,
Madame Luisa Tetrazzini, the Italian
prima donna, whom London within the
year has showered with honors. made
her New York debut last night in
Verdi's La Traviata" at the Manhat-
tan Opera House. Before a brilliant
audience that crowded every inch of
space in the big auditorium, Nine.
Tetrazzini scored a triumph such
as has been the good fortune of but
few great singers. 1t was remarka-
BILE because of the fact that Tetrazzini
showed that she does not excel many
of the other operate sopranos here.
Twelve times she was called before
the curtain al the end Of the first act
TO acknowledge the applause and cheers
which came as enthusiastically from
the boxes as from the thronged gal
cries, and calls without number fol-
lowed every curtain thereafter. The
crowd was keyed up to great expec-
fancy, because the singer had been
heralded as being a wonder. and was
bound to give her an ovation in any
event.
Nine. Ietraz2lnl mas a 1reSh, clear
voice of pure soprano quality and of
sufficient range, though other roles
must perhaps disclose its further flights
above the staff. The perfectly unworn
condition and youthful timbre of this
voice are its largest charms, and TO
these must he added a splendid rich
ness in the upper n Indeed, the
best part of the voice as heard last
evening Was from the G above the
staff TO the high Z.

erence Made to Boyertown Horror.
Chief to Be Named Next Week.

A warning note was sounded by
yesterday afternoon in regard to the
poor hose used in New York and which
vas responsible for the destruction of
the Parker building. He said that
while the hose Used by the local de-
partment was of the best, and never
allowed to deteriorate, yet at the pres
n time there were only about 1000
feet in reserve. which was : hardly
enough in the event of a big blaze. He
stated that the adding of another en-
CINE company a few weeks ago had de-
creased the reserve.
The commissioners said the matter
would be attended to without delay.
The questions were brought up by Com
missioner Burke. He also referred to the
reports published in the newspapers about
the poor hose furnished the New York de-
partment. as compared TO that which was
had for the local department.
1t has been the custom for the last eight
years or more Of the local commissioners,
he said, 20 purchase the very best hose,
which was found to be the cheapest in the

used was being dried, and that nothing
was left undone to care for all Of the

In referring to the accident which oc-
Cured at Boyertown, Pa, Monday night,
Commissioner Burke said that while the
Fire Board had tried to get control of all
places of amusement this was not accom-
plished because the license committee of
the Common Council made a rule that the
Fire Board be restricted in ITS control or
supervision of places of amusement where
the seating capacity was less than 800.
Commissioner Logan wanted to know II
former Chief Kiersted had not condemned
the moving picture places.
President Gnlchtel replied that the
forme: chief had said that they were dan
gerous, because the picture machines were
placed over the entrances to the places.
