DEAF AND DUMB SECRETARIES

Since the young Turks" sidetrack-
ed Abdul Hamid and took charge of
the Ottoman empire they have been
conducting that ancient relic of the
grandeur that was Rome, with mar
velous smoothness, considering every
thing, says a writer in Success Maga-
zine. Now the secret Is out, and it
suggests much that other countries
might we'll ponder.
1t seems that when the Turkish
cabinet meets no employees are per-
mitted to be. present save deaf and
dumb ones. Each has a skilled deaf
and dump secretary, to whom neces-
sary instructions are conveyed by the
manual language, so that records may
be kept; but of incidental discussion,
which consumes most Of the time, the
secretaries have no knowledge. state
secrets are thus kept inviolat. and
the opposition party has been unable
to break the spell.
Several countries that consider
themselves more advanced than Tur-
key have been discussing the idea OF
deaf and dumb statesmen. The con-
gressionai records cost could be re-
duced to a mere bagatelle by adopt
| ing such an innovation, and there Is
widespread opinion that rather more
| legislation might be secured.

Crippen has changed much in facial

a four days growth of beard gives him
quite a different look. The Jail gov

The rumors Of statements made by
Crippen as to the crime with which he

could be learned. 1t has been variously
