DOCTORS MARVEL HEARING MISS
 KELLER SING

Boston, Aug. 17--Miss Helen Keller, born deaf, dumb, and blind, showed the assembled biologists at their con gress in the Harvard Medical School yesterday afternoon that she had add ed still another to her phenomenal list of accomplishments when she sang to them
 During the formal addresses, which were mostly in foreign tongues. Miss Keller sat or. the platform listening through the fingers of her teacher, Prof. White of the New England Con- servatory Of Music, and now and then applauding when a speaker made particularly pleasing reference to the new education of the blind.
 When 1t came Prof. Whites turn he demonstrated the, extent of control that Miss Keller had gained over her vocal chords, tongue, and lips. His Illustrations were conveyed from his lips to Miss Keller's finger tips, placed tightly. over his mouth. All the vow els and the consonant sounds uttered by Miss Keller came out clearly and precisely, and the audience spontan- eously broke into the heartiest !. ap- plause
 Then came the crownings achieve ment, the singing of an octave on Sol and Fla and Re, some of the tones being very sweet. This performance not only amazed, but delighted the savants. .%
 Miss Keller, Prof White says, has the rare faculty of absolute pitch. .s Previous to giving this exhibition Miss Keller made an address in Eng fish, in which she said:
 :tThis is a new day in the education of the deaf, the day when the physician is no longer content to fight the hos tile silences with medicine, and sur gical instruments alone, but helps the teacher to pour the blessed waters of speech into the desert of dumbness."
 Portions of this address Miss Keller repeated in French and German, for the edification of the representatives of those nations
 Another interesting feature of the afternoon was when Prof. John Dut- ton Wright of New York city present. ed two of his pupils, Miss Mabel M. Johns and Charles H Over. Miss Johns, who is congenitally. deaf, made an address in English, French, and German, in high-pitched treble un- like anything ever heard before. Her words were more clearly enunciated than those of the average normal per- son.

DEMONSTRATION IN PROVI- DENCE INTERPRETED AS INDI- GAPING RHODE ISLAND WILL BE FOR WILSON.

Providence. R. l., Aug. 17-Col. Roosevelt opened his campaign here, and the enthusiastic welcome he re- ceived worried the Republican leaders. In fact, many predictions were heard last night that at election time Gov Wilson would capture the electors even from this rook-ribbed standpat Re- publican State as result of the split Col. Roosevelt and his third party has brought about
 Elated by his party reception, the Colonel in an address at Infantry Hall declared that he believed the Pro- gressives would win by a handsome majority if. they could get the people to realize what they were trying to accomplish. His nanagers here. how ever. are rot making such confident predictions. but they do declare that they will break the Republican Par ty.''
 It is the fact that men from all ranks of life, who never before took much interest in politics, are now turning out, that has thrown the scare into the camp of the Taft leaders, headed by Gen, Charles A. Wilson, Gov Pothier, ex-Senator AIdrich and his that greeted the Colonel when his train pulled into the station was a different crowd from what they had ever seen before. Fully 1000 persons many of them from the textile mills, many from the shops. lawyers, and business men crowded Exchange Place, City Square, and Dorrance St., along which Col. Roosevelt passed on his way to the hotel They blocked the pathway twice and demanded a speech before the short journey was finished. The loudest cheers came when he slashed out at the .'rlle of the bosses and appealed for aid in bringing about the rule of the peo- pie.
 Col. Roosevelt made two addresses here last night. the first to crowd of perhaps 1,s00 in Infantry Hall, and the other before an overflow meeting at the opera house.
