Fingers For Benefit of Daughter.

Mothers love is so strong in The
bosom of Mrs. 'O'Herron of Philadel-

MARRIAGE ON FINGER TIPS.
Deaf Mutes Wigwagged Their Re-
quest to Minister.

When Edward Duchain of Glad
stone, Mich, and Miss Lima Provost
of Escanaba, Mich, both deaf mutes,
learned that Rev. Father Barth of
Escanaba was an adept at deaf and
dumb language they "wigwagged"
to each other that Father Barth was
just the man to preside over their
wedding ceremony.
So they went to the father, dis
closed their wishes by manipulations
of their digits, and the priest said
the entire ceremony in the deaf and
dumb sign language.

Batting a War-Nad World

From the New York Worlu.
 In approving the idea of fortifying the Panama canal on the theory that, ''in- evitably it would be the chief object of attack in the event of war" the post of Berlin gives the very reason why the plan should not be carried out, N neutralized canal devoted to peace, progress and commerce under the protection of the great powers would not become the chief object of attack in the event of war. A fortified canal would make the isthmus the objective of all the fighting nations of the earth.
 Emphasizing these self-evident truths, a memorial has appeared at Boston bear ing the signatures of Richard Olney, Da- vid Starr Jordan, William D. Howells, Bishop Anderson, w. H.. P Faunce, Judge Holt, Henry w. Rogers, George F. Peabody, Francis l.. Stetson, Jane Addams and many others. If we err in this undertaking 1t will be in spite of knowledge that should be conclusive among the intelligent and the humane.
 Big guns may save the Philippines, Ha- wall and Porto Rico, for their capture may not be regarded as absolutely neces- sary, but in future wars, certain to be largely naval, the canal will be a prize that will be deemed worthy of any sac rifice By fortifying it we offer it as a bait to war-made world. By devoting it to civilization and peace we may safe guard forever a monumental work, dis courage strife and boodshed. and in case of desperate need preserve our defensive energies for those nearer home.

Superstitious Athletes

From the Washington Herald.
 'T have known a lot of athletes who were superstitious to an absurd degree said Herman G. Beehler of Philadelphia at the Riggs last night. Such. for in stance. was one great high jumper who used deliberately to practice before the competition actually began by knocking the bar off at all sorts of minor heights. He had an idea that by doing this be- forehand he got it all out of his system, so to speak, and he entered his competi- tion with the assured feeling that ne wasn't going to slip up on any poor per- formances.
 "The blind reliance of the novice on | externals as the cause. for good per | formances by the crackerjacks occasion ally had some odd sequence. There was quarter-mile runner who was accus- toned to holding his index and second fingers pointed downward as he strode along, and immediately after this was observed by several new men at ths game. they all began holding their fin- gers in similar fashion as they ran
 There was another man, distance runner, who strained his left leg, and as a result for time favored it slightly There sprang up host of lmpers, who thought that was the way to attain prominence in distance running.
 Then again." concluded MT Beeher, "a British runner who came over here about 12 years ago had fashion of work ing his arms like sprinter, although he ran long distances. Almost immediately after his public appearance a great crowd of young athletes adopted that method. They were surprised to find that it didn't make them run as fast as the Britisher."

 McGilvray fielded bunts in capital style, and showed rare good judgment in his throws. Marcan and Ellam appeared in stellar roles
 Phelan had nothing to do. At the bat, however, he hit the ball hard, and under ordinary circumstances, would have copped couple of hits.
 There is no better hitter in the world sometimes-than Fleharty.
