1 EOPLEJ WHO DISAPPEAR. Home New York Citizens Who Have Been Swallowed by Oblivion. h'trmi Ihe. New 1 Ol'fc World. Stevenson’s powerful story of the doctor who went in good at the tVont door of a London bouse to come out an evil wretch in the back alley gave ahorribleshoek to many a family iu New York and Brooklyn still waning for the return of the loved one who went out months or yeai-s ago to lie "back in a few minutes. ’’ and has never since been seen or heard of. A strange, horriblo light was projected on the gloom of the ver*ro current subject of- mysterious disappear- Who is there hot afiaid of being buried alive in the gravel And yet, how inany hundreds there are in theta cities alone who are each year, warm with life and the kisses of love, entombed iu the great sen of humanity, never to come again to tts surface, unless as a battered corpse from which name, clothing, habit, the littlo marks of affection and, perhaps, the very identity of the gray matter ol' the brain itself, have faded out. No reference is hail here to the cases habit ually reiwrted to the police and published in the newspapers, nor to the lost country men, strayed children, or boys who run away to sea. There is nothing very won derful about the case of the overworked merchant who takes the steamer for London without saying anything about it, or the man on a spree who gets into the wrong house, or the wild young girls who come home and say they ha\ e been kidnaped, or the young fellow who thinks it a good joke to run out to Chicago an< I leas e his friends in New York, or of the respectable men who meet old schoolmates and go off with ’em to talk and drink over old times; these are ordinary affairs. It is not the lost souls of a great city, after all, that are so fearful to think of as the lost bodies. The identity we prize so dearly may be so easily lost. Nearly thirty families -within easy distance from this city still mourn young girls, who disappeared about the time the unidentified young woman was found murdered at Hall way, and who thought they recognized in her tortured features the face they had kissed and cried over. Those thirty young girls may now be living out in service, ig norant that they ever had home luxuries of their own and a name that was worth money at the bottom of a check. This would be the case of Elsie Warren, of Jersey City, who was found not long since penniless and completely oblivious of her pa-1, doing excellent cliamberivork in a Brooklyn family, by relatives who have never heard of her ever putting up her own hair even, and were able to offer a reward of SIO,OOO for her return home. Or they may be kept prisoners in some lonely subur ban house by women with no earthly object that can ever be ascertained, as was Eliza beth Canning, whose case set all England by the ears on New Year’s day, 1753, and the vetification of whose story is as impossible now as it was found to be then. Or they may have been kidnaped for improper purpose and murdered while trying to es cape in vile localities in which the very in credibility of their presence rendered recog nition hopeless. Or they may have gone shopping with their mothers, stepjied to an other part of the store to get a ribbon and vanished forever, as poor Mary Evans did st Macy’s so recently that her parents and three sisters still live to wear mourning for her. The beautiful young woman’s head that was found in the North river in 1860, was kept by authority of law for two years, a death mask was taken from it before "de cay’s effacing fingers had swept the lines where beauty lingers’’ and several photo graphs of it are still in existence. It was falsely ident.iied over and over again, and ■was said strikingly to resemble charming Ada Ricard, whose head turned up sound and safe on her own shoulder* four months afterwards, when she came home from New Orleans. But no one knows to this day to whom those peachy cheeks, soft eves and red lips belonged or ought to have be longed, "Boss” Harrington was a sporting butcher who bad a great many friends and acquaint ances in this city. He drank with a party of frieuds at the Hone House in Broadway one evening, stepped out into the night, say ing it was "time to go home,” and has never since come to the surface of the ocean of humanity. Chancellor John Lansing, of the New York Court of Chancery, got into a cab to go to the Albany boat one after noon, and was never seen or heard of after wards. He was a man of family, wealth, high-standing and spotless antecedents. Twenty years ago Guy C. Hotchkiss, Jr., son of a well-known manufacturer in Wil liamsburg, went away from home, loaving his father’s distasteful business, a young wife and a son. Last April lie came home from a California ranch, whore he had been living like a hermit. He was affec tionately received by his family, who had not heard from him or of him for just nine teen years. The most prominent man whoso disap pearances has of recent years been chroni cled iu New York was S. S. Conaiit, editor of harper's Weekly. Everybody is famil iar with the wa he disappeared, about three years ago, and the fact that his widow wears weeds for him and occupies a respon sible editorial position in the emp oy of the Harpers, for whoa* her hnsbuud bad worked twenty years. But the belief of some of bis intimates and the story about town that explains this singular absence have never been published. When a fast man of business or a man of the World disappears mysteriously, it is given out that he has committed suicide or met with foul play. In nineteen cases out Of twenty it isn’t so. He has simply gone off somewhere with a woman who is apt as not to be his elder in years and his better at the bank. Often she is a woman uutram tneied by any one place of residence, and her absence can tie connected with his bv no clew known to the public or to the friends of either. She may have gone for a Euro pean trip, or on a journey around the world, or to winter in Florida—as it is given out. Oftenor than would be thought, she is a woman of some,social position, wearing matrimonial ties as easily as is now so frequent in the fashionable world, and has been livingthe life of a “woman about town” with as much genuine enjoyment as that with wh.ch her nusband, who remains at his club, indifferent to her movements, has been living the predatory and selfish exis tence of a "man about town.” In New York there is a large hi A growing number of rich young men who live on the lookout for intrigues. Women of the world are not slow m discovering their existence, and in using the private fortune of the wife, or her allowance -from her husband, first for the maintenance of these intrigues and afterward for that of tho male intriguer. What motive actuates an ostensibly virtu ous and respected woman to reduce herself in this way to the standard of male mor ality f Generally a desire to share in mas culine pleasures. Often pique at the neg lect of a mail; worn at the altar to love and to protect her. Not unfrequently the ex ample of other women in her own social set. Sometimes original sin. There are in this country, as readily oc curs to any t ravelier, n number of natural outlets to oblivion. Niagara Fulls and its unfathomed whirlpool constitute the most terrible and notorious of them. Tradition relates how explorer.-, have failed to come bark from the yet unknown depths Of the Mammoth Cave. Corpsesor unrecognizable hunters are found now and then in the North Woods, the Maine pine forest and the tlml>er shrouded peniuHulaof Michigan. Of tiie young girls lured into the lumiier dens of this same peninsula the daily papers have fold horrors tor mouths. Yet it is only those not absolutely lost to memory for whom any seared is made, 't he dry Fork of Elk river in West Virginia disappears from its sur face lied down a hole whose abyss nobody has everyot cared to attempt to measure, #xce-t one old fisherman who let down jus fishing line, didn’t touch bottom with it a ->d followed .t dowi h inm-l leaving only fc: gum >siot as renvndersof Ids existence, ’i ’-c item.'ll so hhim is fu of boj es that no bou? will find a uf over which nobody could meet ideussfy mg tombstone. The mass swcops of tho L'ouisioua au<l Texas and Florida morasses are! famous breeders of such stories. When the organized baud of i : ,rse thiev s and prairie pirates held tho Totorf Basin, in Idaho, against aii coiners some years ago. many a cheery emigrant or prospector wont down for a night’s lodging and found It perpetual night. There is not an ocean, sea, lake, sound or river that doesn't clutch un known dead to its peaceful bosom, scarcely a big county that hasn’t its bottomless pond or pit that iiasaoquired evil lame through some siisjieeted swallowing up of a dead or living victim. It looks, on examination of statistics, as if half the world were con stantly trying to hide itself from the other half. But Niagara is the great morgue of the mysterious. There’s a continual pil grimage of suicides to Niagara. Sometimes they have made up their minds to the plunge. Othens are drawn to the whirlpool, with its roar of iufinity and horror ol im mensity and darkness, by a vague desire which soon begets and mergs into the deadly purpose. Sometimes tin y are recog nized on (he wify and they are ; raced to the edge of the cataract. Often they leave home for always and Niagara is never known as their grave. News has just been received in Now York of David Scott, the partner of Vernon Brothers & Cos., of 67 Duane street, who disappeared on Oct. 32, His brother, John O. Scott, of Toronto, traced him to Niagara Falls. He discovered t hat David had been first at the Cataract House and had gone from there to the Clifton House. David bought a ticket on the Suspension Bridge and linseed the ticket office bn the bridge. He did not return, and the ticket was not taken up at the other end of the bridge. .Mr. Vernon also got a letter from a stranger which said: “I met Mr. Scott on Sunday, Oct. 21. He went on the 6p. m. train to Buffalo. lie appeared to be very much excited. ’ These fragments of information tell the sad story; the gaps in it will iu ad proba bility never bo tided. VOLAPUK. The New Language Expounded by a Professor of It. The exposition of the new language uni versal, “Volapuk,” which Col. Charles E. Sprague gave recently in New York, was, says the New York Commercial Adverti ser, evidently both entertaining, instructive and gratifying, as judged by the interest of the crowded audience. The occasion was one of the regular Friday morning series of "familiar talks” before the students and as many of their friends as could also be ac commodated in tho assembly rooms. Col- Sprague is the American representative of the Volapuk academy, and probably the best posted individual on the subject of this new “language without a country” in America. He is a ready speaker, and has evidently a special aptitude in the use of ex pedients for the explanation and rendering attractive of his theme. His familiarity with other languages also lends fuller scope to hii style, and an apparently confirmed belief iu all that he claims for the new lan guage added interest to the earnestness of his endeavor to convert his hearers to the same belief. A little lecture on the subject of lan guages in general and this Recently devised one in particular comprised his introductory remarks, the lecturer aiming to show the necessity for some method common to men of all nations, by which could be expressed in writing the universality of thought that can be imparted in some degree, at least, by verbal and sign language. Then wit h the aid of a blackboard he set forth tho claims of Volapuk to be this great desideratum and endeavored to establish the assertion of its founders that it is not only the youngest and most curious of all languages, but the most easily acquired. The system of moods and tenses and declens.oas of its verbs and nouns, somewhat after the fash ion of liatin and Greek, were illustrated, and in this connection he remarked that al though brevity was not especially sought for in its construction, it had to a great ex tent Involuntarily attained that end. two or three words, as, for instance, a verb of the future perfect tense and a noun of the dat ive case, often expressing a whole sentence of ordinary English. Thus the language could be made particularly useful for tele graph, and being universal it could be used with great freedom for cabling to foreign countries. A good many examples of the language were cited. "Bchleyer has given to the world anew language,” would read in Volapuk. “Bchleyer egiooui puki unlik vole.’’ It was explained t at the principle of all verbs was, like the classics, to have one root and add the different tenses and even further qualifications by affixes or prefixes of a let ter or two. Alter the lecture prater ques tions were freely asked by the audience and answered by the lecturer. These are some of tho questions and answere: "How old is the language!” "It is only 8 years old.” "Is there any die ionary of iti” "Yes, one of about 14,000 words and giv ing quite an extensive vocabulary. The language is not yet perfect in detail and new wot ds are tieing constantly a- Ided as required from derivatives by the academies charged with such business,” “How do you express money;” "The termination ‘ab’ signifies 'money, ‘do’ dollars, and ‘sent.’ cent. Thus $503 35 would lie written ‘lultum nialsalael ,loaU, killalacl sentabs.’” “Can the language be written iiconog raphy “I am not sure; I think it can, but that, would be like most otiier languages, while stenography, I think, has been especially adapted to English.” "Is Volapuk already put to any practical use f” "Oh. ves. Over one of tho largestjptores in Paris there is the sign ‘Volaptikon,’in nail ing literally, ‘Onespeaks Volapuk Sere.’ similar to the common signs in Eur| oan stores, ‘Due speaks English bore.’ ti'lien you get. inside the store you find Unit the sign was correct and you are the ouc. T This is not the case with Volapuk." “How long would it take one not cciver saut with any other language to learn V ila puk?” "In a month you would have a good-gen eral knowledge of it, and a vocabulary of one or two hundred of the most essential words at your command, and in ob'at three months you would bo able to mgr r staud and write with little aid from a*Jic tionary.” “Do you use any special characters?” ‘ “No. Volapuk is always written in the ordinary Roman letters of English. I think even that the German text is dytiiir out.” “When was Volapuk iuvonted!” “By Bchleyer, near Lake Constance. In the borders of Switzerland, iu 187!). Thjen it was introduced into Austria, German France, and has now overspread the whqjb continent of Europe ami extended to ever, other continent.” “What are the means of spreading it?” “All over Europe there are societies fsi that object. They number now 148 aixi several papers are printed in that fan guage." “What is the general principal of the structureof Volapuk sentences?” "More nearly like French and consider* bly like English, except that adjectives are placed after the nouns.” “YVluc do you think will lie the attain* ments of it?” “Volapuk is primarily a literary lan-1 guage. Asa means of communication bc-l tween different ■ nationalities it must ben come indispensablo, and it Will bo taught In] commercial colleges and used by all busi ness houses as an adjunct to stenography and type writing.” Hood’s .Sarsaparilla is a purely vegetable preparation, being free from injurious in gredients.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30. 1887. MUTE MASKS AND DOMINOEI Merry Dancers Who Kept Time by the Sense of Feeling, and Talked Only by Signs. From the Xew Vork Times. A ballroom, big and bare and still. Bril liant with light, but not a man or woman In it. The orchestra are In the gallery, but so far they have not touched their instru ments. It is 10 o’clock, and time the dance is on. The folding doors open and the peo ple enter. And such people! They are in masquerade costume, and never almost were 200 revellers seen in more fantastic dress. Connie by couple they march across the waxed floor. They find seats on the benches around the walls. The liand has not yet burst out with march or waltz. The revellers have not spoken. From behind their masks and dominoes they look out ii)>on the picture gay with color and bright and brilliant as any masquerade bail. But there is a solemn silence, for the 200 have the dancing floor to themselves, and the 200 lire both dcuf and dumb. Nature denied them speech and hearing when they were born, and no effort of themselves or of teachers has given them the two great senses. Not a whisper is heard from the great gather ing. Some dresses rustling, some heavy breathing, and that is all. The scenes be comes more and more impressive to the few men and women behind t lie orelies! ra in tho gallery, who can talk and can hear, and it is a relief to them, blessed with all their senses, when, after ten minutes of grave yard silence set in ballronmtgayety, the or chestra begin the grand march, aiid the 200 l>eople of the silent world rise for the prom enade. So began last night tho Gallnudet Club ball in Adelphi Hull in Fifty-second treet, near Broadway. Thomas H. Gallnu det was the founder of the system in America for the instruction of the deaf and dumb. In his honor the chili was named, and to help pay for a statue to him the hall was given. The educated deaf mutes of New York and of all the country near here, and even some of the silent ones from Eu rope, were in the hall. These 200 peopie on the floor with useless ears and tongues, useless for speech, could not hear the faintest note from violin or piano. And yet their feet tripped over tho floor in as true time as ever masters and matrons at a Patriarchs’ ball pressed the floor of DelmoniCo’s. Nor did they look at the orchestra eador beating time with his baton to catch their cue. They caught and kept in with the music solely through the sense of feeling, for ns the vibrations from the instruments came out iu waves through the air and reached the wood of the floor and the bodies of the dancers they, with that increased gift of the sense of feeling which comes to the deaf mute, felt the deli cate waves and responded nimbly to them. And then they became merry indeed. Fin gers flashed thoughts to eyes, and little did the marchers care, seemingly, for their iua biltv to communicate as other people do. All through the twistings of the march the con versation was maintained, and had it been in spoken language that ballroom of the Adelphi Hall would have buzzed with a wonderful noise. Some or tho costumes were both rich and bizarre. The gowns of the young, pretty and shapely girls illustrated all the fashions from the time of Queen Elizabeth to tiie day of the Empress Eu genie. And the men were courtly cavaliers and Oxford students in cap and gown, plan tation negroes, imps in the lurid colors of Hades, cardinals in true cardinal red, bur lesque dudes, rustics labelled Josiah Hay seed and Tom Gre-uhorn, copies of Uncle Sam in stars and stripes, and some even werei in natation of Satan himself. The march went on and ended in dazzling splendor, but in awful stillness. Then came the lanciers and then a waltz. All the whila there was a tremendous amount of finger talk, but the more they talked the quieter the room became. The dancing went on till early morning, and before it was over there were 500 people present. CURED BY WIRE. A Telegraph’c Dispatch ?aid to Have &aved Miss Whitney. From the Brooklyn Eagle. Now it is the turn of the mind healers. The youngest child of Lawyer C. M. Whit ney, of 565 Henry street, is Estella, a bright brunette of eleven years old, not at all pre cocious, and fond of her toys. The house hold was iu consternation when a practi tioner, both in homerpathy aDd allopathy, found that she had symptoms of remittent lever, and her parents were told to let it take its usual epurse of fourteen days. Es telle had sleepless nights, us did her anxious mother, and%uuid lake little nourishment. Finally sho relapsod into an unconscious .>tate, and her. case was so critical that Mrs. Whitney suggested sending word to Julius A. Dresser, of Boston, the mental healer. Accordingly Mr. Whitney tele graphed at noon and a favorable answer was returned. The result was soon seen. Estelle's face became strangely Hushed, a profuse perspiration broke out and- lie asked tor cake, ice-cream and coffee, which she enjoyed amazingly The following morning the patient was well. All this is vouched for by Mrs. Whitney, her daughters. May and Pearl, Estelle herself and Mr. Whit ney, who, while acknowledging the fact, did not pretend to explain its mystery. He said last night that while lie did not profess a wild enthusiasm over the science, he felt grateful lor many tilings .accomplished. “It is no new thing," -aid lie.

All these things go to show that medicine, fur from being a science, is an experiment— a problem the solution of which is involved in endless dispute among it- schools and dis dpln-. Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes once said: ‘A patient is sick; we give him medicine and he gets well, but we don’t know whether he does so on account of the medicine or in spite of it.’ Dr. S.
