HOUSE OF SILENCE.
One Result of the Crusade of the
Anti-Noise Society.

New York, Aug. 21.-Mrs. Isaac L.
Rice, who is head of the Anti-Noise
society here, arrived from Europe yes
terday. She returns with a scheme for
houses of silence She said on ar
irving:
1.-THE first Anti-Noise Society conven-
ton, held in London. was a great sue
cess despite the fact that only four
countries were represented by the three
delegates present. These four countries
were America, England, Austria and
Germany.
Life in Germany is bliss and rap
ture,'' said Mrs. Rice. ''Why even, the
railroads stop blowing whistles after
shutdown. The engineer gives notice of
danger by blowing a horn. There are
societies in 80 cities. with total mem
bership of 1900 This society mas is
sued a blue list of hotels and apart
nlentss where one may have a reason
able amount of quiet. The landlords
pledge themselves not to rent rooms to
any one unless the person will agree to
make as little noise as is possible.
Better than these. however, are the
houses of silence which are springlng
up all over the empire. These are in
every case owned by members of the
society, and only members may obtain
accommodations in them No noise
whatever may be heard IN them"

NUMBERING TILE LANGUAGE.
Colleges Accused of Turning Out
Large Number of IIliterates.

-Chautauqua, n. Y, Aug. 21.-That
the American people are numbering
their mother tongue and one of the
great opportunities for reform at the
present time is to teach them the
English language, was the opinion
expressed here by President Paunce
of Brown university. He did not
spare American colleges in his ar
raignment and declared they are
turning out an alarming proportion
of actual illiterates.
ST would like he said, "to see the
colleges of the country join in an
effort to induce the American people
to write and speak the English
tongue decently. The colleges are
not doing it now. Many Of our col
lege seniors cannot write decent
business letter. We Americans
should link our minds and hearts and
hands in an effort to preserve this
mother tongue, which is our definite
Intellectual heritage.'

BARTENDERs ARE HAPPY.
Five of Them Have Positions in One
Wichita Saloon.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. 21.-Public senti-
nlent has been aroused to such a pitch
by the open violation of the prohibitory
law by at least so jointists, and the talk
OF recall has become so strong, that
Mayor Davidson called a special meet
ing of the commissioners and they
passed an ordinance which is calcula-
ted to stop the sale of near beer, or real
beer and liquor, which is being sold
in-a all of the numerous open joints. -.
For some reason which they did not
deem wise to make public, the COM
missioners will not have the new ordt-
nance published in the official paper
until Sunday morning, and it will not
take effect until Monday morning. This
will give the jointists two days in which
any attempt will be made to modest
them on the part of the police.
The new ordinance provides that near
beer cannot be sold in less than gallon,
lots and the sale of it is otherwise
hedged about. The mayor declares that
his chief of police can enforce this or
dinance and thus he will be able to
close all the joints. The chief says he
can easily arrest iointistS under the new
ordinance and he will do so instead of
paying no attention to them as the
present method.
The quantities of beer which have
been consumed in the city during the
past four days is beyond belief. 1t is
that % carloads of beer have been re-
ceived and sold. This seems impossible
but visit to one of the joints disclosed
five barkeeps working as hard as they
could. Other places are Salo TO De as
busy.

GREAT PEACH CROP.
Pouring Into New York at Rate of
60 Car Loads a Day.

New York, Aug. elf the figures
reported are not awry, this city. will
be fairly swamped with peaches soon.
1t is estimated here that the number
of peaches which will begin coming
pext week from the western New York
peach belt to New York and New Eng
land. will run high as 240 million.
Most of this fruit will be shipped to
New York city. In addition, Ohio,
Michigan, Colorado and California are
pouring peaches into this market at the
rate of about 60 carloads d day. and so
far as known, these shipments will not
be lessened by the upstate shipments.
Meantime, glowing accounts of the
profits which will be reaped by the
growers in this state are being given.
1t is stated that the crop this year is
worth 1 million dollars. More New
York farmers have taken up peach Gull
ture during the last five years than
ever before =and-this years enormous

Unique solar Atlas.

The preparation of solar atlas by
private enterprise is a unique under
taking which is being completed by J.
Franklin Adams, an English astrono-
mer. The gentleman expects to COM
plete his work In few months. Incl
dentally 1t will include the indexing of
100000 stars. Mr.. Adams method
has been to divide the armament into
212 squares, which have been photo
graphed on specially-prepared plates Is
inches square. The southern consteIla.
tions he photographed in South Africa,
the rest have been taken at his obser-
vatory near Godalming. The observa-
tory is considered one Of the best equip
ped in private ownership. The total of
23,000,000 stars is explained to be an
estimate, although comparative accu-
racy can be obtained by an ingenious
microscopical device which bas been
invented BY Mr.. Adams for the pur-
pose.

AppIe superntffionn

In Scotland one of the Halloween
customs used to be "eating an apple at
the glass" That was to stand before
looking-glass and eat an apple with
one hand and with the other comb the
hair. when the face of ones future hus-
band would be seen in the glass looking
over the left shoulder. In the South
Of England an apple charm was for
each person present to fasten an apple
on to string, after which the strings
were hung and twirled before the fire.
The owner Of the apple which first falls
off is declared to be married. AS each
ones apple falls of, SO does the order
Of matrimony proceed. Single bliss is
the lot Of the owner Of the last apple
left on the string.

The Center OF Love

Father Mathew was the most lov-
Ing and lovable of human beings"
and in the light of this statement
found in a recent biography of the
famous Irish priest, by Mrs. RATHER
Inc lyman Hinkson, two incidents of
his crusade for temperance in the
north of Ireland should be read.
AT Clones, in Ulster, there were two
Orange flags raised when he visited
1t. Instead of considering II as an in
suit, he thought it very great COM
pliment, never having seen one or been
honored with one before. When he
saw them he called for three cheers
for the Orange flag. Commenting ON
this an Irish writer says:
"A Catholic priest calling for cor
dial salutation of the Orange banner
and a Catholic assembly heartily re-
spending was something almost incon-
ceivable. 1t had never occurred be-
fore in Ireland-I'm afraid 1t has
never occurred since"
For the time being there were good
will and friendly feeling from one end
of Ulster to the other. One recruit
who knelt for Father Mathews bless
ing said:
You wouldn't be blessing me if you
knew what / am"
And what are you, my dear?' Fa-
ther Mathew called men, women and
children my dear"
Il am an Orangeman, your reyer.
eDce"
Why, God bless you. my dear, /
wouldn't care if you were lemon
man."

This rise has been caused by the in

to part with their tresses, and the
dealers in hair are unable to cope, with
the demand made upon them.
