Helen Keller Coming.

When Helen Keller MADE her debut
as public speaker, the press Of the
country announced the event as one
of the greatest achievements of recent
times. The girl whom Mark Twain
had bracketed with Napoleon as the
other most interesting character Of
the nineteenth century," whom Ed
win Markham had hailed as "the most
interesting being On the planet"
whom Edward Everett Hale, DR.. Alex
ander Graham Bell, Richard Watson
Glider and Oliver Wendell Holmes had
claimed as "the marvel of the day in
which we live" suddenly added anoth.
er to her list of accomplishments and
appeared as a public lecturer. That
she was successful in her attempt was
proven by the ovations she received
everywhere on her transcontinental
lecture tour last season. Cities small
land large turned out enmasse to greet
this remarkable woman and her COM
tpanion whom she calls teacher even
today. They are to lecture here on
Friday evening, in the First Christian
church for the benefit Of the Y. W. c:
"A. For most people it is perhaps the
chance Of life time to see and hear

ner lecture, ner teaCneT, Anne Suln-
van Macy will tell how this girl. deaf.
dumb and blind. was taught as child
and later how she pursued her studies
tat Radcliffe college, from which she
graduated with honors.
Helen Keller's optimism is but one
iof the many things to marvel at in
this girl who has had so many barriers
between her and the pleasures of the
normal being. Optimism will be the
keynote of her lecture here, as it has
been the keynote of her whole life.
From blank, darkness. that has
always surrounded her. she gives
forth a message full Of a sunshine
which she in her blindness sees more
fully than do many who have sight. It
is a message addressed to those. who
having eyes. see not. and having cars,
hear not for no one can hear Helen
Keller's optimism and cheerfulness
without being profoundly thankful for
what are deemed to be ordinary facul-
ties of life.
The price Of admission to the lecI
ture is fifty cents. Indications arg
that the capacity Of the First Chris
tan church will be taxed to the limit.

Newport, R. l., Oct. i3.-A far flung patrol by torpedo boat de- stroyegs with the double duty of enforcing neutrality observance and saving lives in the event of further submarine raids on shipping off these shores was put into effect from Bar Harbor, Me, to New York Friday. Official authority for the statement that such patrol had been ordered by the navy depart ment was obtained here Friday morning.
 The limits of the line of coast surveillance at present effective were shown Friday with the arrival of the destroyer Paulding off Bar Harbor. Me. and the activity of the destroyer Sterrett in New York har- Dor. Between these two outposts, nine other destroyers were weaving a net of observation that extended a considerable distance out to sea.
 In Narragansett bay, seven de- stroyers were kept at routine target practice with steam up constantly available for an emergency call.
 The operations of the patrol are being directed from the flagship Birmingham. headquarters of Rear Admiral Albert Gleaves. The Bir- mingham is at this port also in readiness to move at any moment.
