MISS KELLER IN LECTURE.
Deaf and Blind Genius Interests a
Large Audience.

Miss Helen Keller, the deaf and bind
genius, rapidly answered questions pro-
pounded to her by members of the large
audience which had listened to her lee
ture last night at the Belasco Theater
on 1.-The Right Use of Our Senses. Dr.
Alexander Graham Bell, who started Miss
Keller on the path which resulted in her
present mental development, introduced
her to the audience. and Mrs. Anne Sui
livan Macy explained how she taught
Miss Keller.
Miss Keller told her audience that the
world was full of miracles, and during
the course of her lecture demonstrated
this AS her lips moved and she spoke
with clearness remarkable for one 50
heavily handicapped. She was attired
in a pink gown and carried a bouquet
of lilies Of the valley. and she bowed and
smilingly acknowledged the applause
which punctuated her lecture. After her
address she answered many questions
propounded by persons in the audience
Mrs Mays lip movements when she
spoke were read with rapidity by Miss
Keller.
In reply to a question, Miss Keller said
she could distinguish between musical
harmony and discords of sounds, but
said she could not distinguish colors, as
they were vibrations of light and not dis
tinguishable by touch.
Mrs. Macy told of her education of Miss
Keller. Miss Keller's early life up to
the age Of six. was spent in intellectual
darkness. At ten years of age Helen Kel-
Ter learned to speak; she graduated from
Radcliffe College in 1904 with the de-
gree of bachelor of arts. cum laude She
wrote 1.-The Story of My Life" while at
tending college. and this book has been
translated into fifteen languages Mrs.
Macy declared that since then she had
written three more books and had de-
voted herself to work for the blind and
deaf. During the past year, her teacher
asserted, Miss Keller has taken another
step in her remarkable career by greatly
improving her speaking voice under in
struction of Charles White of Boston.

The correctness of the count is certified

mi:tee appointed by the Secretary of the
Treasury to supervise the count.
Not all the money In the vaults of the
Treasury was counted coin by coin or
piece by piece. The great bulk of the
silver dollars had been counted when
Treasurer Treat turned over the funds to
his successor. Treasurer McClung. Not
only were seals put on the bags in which
they were contained, but the bags were
put in a strong safety bin, on which the
treasurer's seal was also set There has

transfer.
The paper money is counted fifty-two

The United States Court of Claims has

Archibald G. Stirling. who presented a
claim for longevity pay as a naval Of

but the Secretary of the Navy recon-
mended his reinstatement and under an
act of Congress Stirling was reinstated.
Stirling then brought suit. claiming five
year constructive service by reason of his

Congress to give longevity pay for con-
structive service, but that 1t was the in

This country supplies IA per cent of
the imports of foreign countries, but

miles north of Flores Island, the most
northerly of the Azores group. in latitude
1925 north and longitude 31.12 west, he
ran close to large piece of ice that was
protruding about two feet above the sur
face He could only account for its pres.
ence by the same winds and seas that

| MAKES UNIQUE APPEAL
FOR BANKRUPT CONCERN
President of Corporation Wants It
Stricken From the List Sub
|, iect to Taxation.

The commissioner of internal revenue
has received a unique affidavit from the
president Of bankrupt corporation OF
Nevada who seeks to stop the govern
ment from trying to collect corporation
taxes from the defunct concern.
Il depose and say" wrote the troubled
man under oath, that many's the time
the collector and deputy collector of in
ternal revnue have been informed that
this corporation has been adjudged bank
rupt, but that they don't seem to care a
whoop; that their persistent requests for
a statement of net income are promptly
fired into the waste paper basket by the
trustees in bankruptcy who won't waste
postage on them: the corporations as
sets consist principally of certificates OF
stock in defunct mining companies,
which would make good wall paper for
any one having taste for the esthetic,
the artistic, the beautiful, but otherwise
of little practical value except as monu-
ments of blasted hopes.
Wherefore this affiant prays that this
bankrupt company may be stricken from
the list of Uncle Sans prosecuted cor
porations, and that this affiant may be
bothered no more.
His prayer will be answered.
