Yarn Restores Voice.

Laughter provoked by funny story
has resulted in restoration of the voice
Of Charles Kateza of Allentown, n. j.,
who had been speechless for two
years. About four years ago Kateza
lost his sight and hearing temporarily
in an accident in an iron foundry.
These functions were restored by
medical treatment, but when he recov-
cred he was without power of speech.
He was undergoing treatment in
Mercer hospital A fellow patient told
him funny story and Kateza INDUCED
in unusually hearty and prolonged
laughter. During the night he dreamed
of the yarn, and his nurse found him
repeating the story in his sleep. Since
then Kateza's speech has been nor
nal, and the hospital physicians be-
lieve it to be permanently restored.

John's Fate.

A school teacher who was about to
be married visited an old friend, and
naturally the coming event was the
topic of much of the conversation. The
young woman, whose plans were not
yet made public, thought it wise to
pledge the little four-year-old daughter
of the house to secrecy. Accordingly
she called little Ethel to her, told her
that soon she and John were to be-
married, and asked her to promise that
she would keep the secret.
Little Ethel went back to her play.
while her mother and the teacher re-
sumed their conversation.
Some ten minutes later Ethel re-
turned, and whispered with great eau
ton, Miss Brown, does John know
anything about it?"-Youths Conn

SALANDRA IN POWER
MONSTER DEMONSTRATION IN
THE STREETS OF ROME,
Populace infiamed by News. of the
Killing of Women by Gendarmes
at Trieste.

Rome, May 17.-Premier Samantha
has called the first formal meeting of
his cabinet to be held since the pass
ing of the ministerial crisis which re-
suited in his remaining in power, with
virtual vindication of his foreign pol
icy.
The tension has been intensified by
reported clashes between Austrian
and Italian frontier guards. The tenn
per of the Italian people has been
highly infiamed by dispatches telling
of ''woman's revolution" at Trieste.
Twenty-seven women are said to have
been killed and 300 wounded there by
gendarmes when they charged crowd
which was threatening the governors
palace.
Official confirmation of the report
that the Salandra cabinet would re-
main in power was greeted by one OF
the most remarkable demonstrations
OF approval ever witnessed in Rome. A
crowd estimated at 100000 gathered in
the Popolo square at the foot of Pin
clan Hill, the slope and summit OF
which were thronged with representa-
tives OF the most aristocratic families
in the capital
Society women wearing the tri-color
of Italy waved flags and handkerchiefs
as they joined in the cheers for Sa-
landra and Foreign Minister Sonnino,
while bands played patriotic airs. To
the Garibaldian veterans, in the crush,
1t seemed that the stirring days of the
war of independence had returned.
Even horses and cabs were decked
with flags. Beside the Obelisk in the
square was an immense caricature of
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, at
which all kinds of missiles were
hurled. French, British, Belgian and
Russian flags were borne aloft with
the Italian colors.
There was a great patriotic demon
stration before the home of Ricciotti
Garibaldi. The veteran red shirt"
leader responded to insistent demands
for a speech by declaring; To-day the
Italian people are writing the last
page of their national liberation to
which our red shirts contributed

litical parties had been merged into a

GERMAN AIR CRAFT BROUGHT DOWN INSIDE ALLIES LINES Garros, Famous French Avia- tor, Victorious in Dra-
 matic Duel.

Furnes, Belgium, via Paris, April 9, 5:45 a. m.-A dramatic duel in the air, in which a German aircraft was brought down inside the allies lines by Roland G. Garros, famous French aviator, was described last night by Major Raoul Pontus, son of the former Belgian Minister of war, who witnessed the combat.
 The German at first succeeded in rising above Garros' machine but the latter, by clever twist, escaped and then flew atop the German.
 From this moment the Germans s position became critical" said Major Pontus, for Garros overlook him rap idly. Presently the cracking of a quick-firer showed the Frenchman judged himself sufficiently near to take the offensive. Could the German es- cape? It seemed difficult, for Garros shot forward in great bounds, getting nearer and nearer; but the German observer used his carbine freely. and it seemed that a bullet might strike the Frenchman.
 suddenly long jet of white smoke gushed from the German machine and then little flame, which in an instant enveloped the whole aero plane. Notwithstanding the extreme peril the pilot took to flight. but his efforts to escape soon was converted into a horrifying downward plunge. The aeroplane, a mass of flames struck the ground a score of yards from me, and a column of black smoke mingled with sheets of. fire poured from the fallen machine.
 "I ran to the aeroplane which had fallen close to a ditch and soon put out the fire. The aviators, horribly burned, were dead when I reached them. The gasoline tank contained two bullet holes. The machine was marked No. 2, Fortieth Flotilla. It's six cylinder engine was very heavy. and this explained its rapid fall. The fire had spared instruments and milf tary documents in thick leather case. This interesting booty was taken to General headquarters'

BRITISH STEAMER CHASED
 BY GERMAN SUBMARINE
Theseus Escapes But Dam- aged By Shell Fire from
 Submersible.

Liverpool, April g, 4:15 a. m.- The captain of the Blue Funnel Line steamer Theseus, which left Liverpool March 27, for Java, has sent back a report of an exciting chase by a German submarine. The Theseus managed to make her escape, but was subjected to and damaged by shell fire from the submersible.
 March 29 at : o'clock. in the morn ing, the Theseus sighted the submars inc at a point forty miles southwest of Bishop Rock lighthouse. The submarine signallede her to stop and abandon ship, but this order was ig- nored and the Theseus put on full steam and started zigzagging on her course The submarine opened Arc and continued throwing shells at the Theseus at intervals. The chase con tinued until 1O:30 when the submar- inc abandoned the pursuit and ap- peared to turn her attention to small steamer flying the Norwegian flag.
 Of the seven explosive shells fired by the three-inch gun on the sub marine. [ five struck the Theseus. The main mast was badly cut. and the quarters of the firemen in the poop were wrecked. The distance cov- cred during the chase was about fifty seven miles. The Theseus main tained a speed of about IT knots. From time to time she fired eNplo- sive distress signals in the hope of attracting the attention of British warship. The captain of the steam CT is of the opinion that had it not been for the rough sea the submar- inc would have overhauled the Thes- GUS. No member of the crew of the Theseus was injured. All the dam age to the vessel was above the Wa ter line, and only temporary repairs were reatIired
