HELEN KELLER
CAN SING NOW
Blind and Deaf. She Also Ad
dresses Convention in Three
Languages.
CAMBRIDGE. MASS. Aug 2'l
Helen Adams Keller sang at the Oto
logical congress at the Harvard .Medical
school. Yet this charming and ac
complished young woman became deaf,
dumb and blind after a severe illness
ifi January, 1882, when she was but
nineteen months old.
She. who could not utter a word, ad
dreased the acientists at the congress,
who came from all over the world. In
three languages. English. French and
German
Even these otologists, whose specialty
la the study of the ear. Its anatomy ant*
Its diseases, could not refrain from ex
claiming :
"Almost it is a miracle!"
Patient Teachers Aid Her.
By the infinite patience of her teach
ers. by the tremendous power of her
own mentality, Helen Keller had
emerged from the fog in which she
aeemrd to grope helpless
Professor John I. Wright, of New
York who has devoted his life to in
•ructing deaf mues and who was .Miss
Keller's first leather. Introduced hei
to the learned assemblage. She has
been studying singing for eighteen
months with Professor White, of th ■
Boston Conservatory of Music. He
•rated himself at the piano, struck a
few chords and the marvellous young
woman began to sing
As she sang many of her audience
■were moved u. tears Her tunes were
low. but htr voice, lost and restored,
reached every corner of the great room.
Only a few false notes marred her
singing. ,
Seems to See Hearers.
Miss Keller seemed to look straight
ahead out of her sightless eyes; she
seemed to gaze into the faces'of those
before her. to recognize their emotions
to be conscious of their smiles, to be
flattered, perhaps, by their wonder. The
simplicity of her manner was most de
lightful and most affecting There she
stood, a pure being Isolated, dwelling
alone with her happy, courageous
thoughts.
Miss Keller will lecture this autumn
beginning in Schenectady. N. Y.. where
Mayor Lunn, a Socialist, has made het
a member of hia advisory board

MUEI IN PANIC
AS DM WEAKENS
Pennsylvania Families Flee to
the Hills to Escape From
Threatened Peril.
WASHINGTON, PA.. Aug. 20—Hun
dreds of families here and in Tyierdale
spent the night in momentary fear of
losing their lives and property by a
rushing flood from a large reservoir
three miles long, three-fourths of a
mile wide and thirty feet deep, located
in the hills aibove the town, and ex
pected to burst at any time.
Homes were lighted with candles or
kerosene lamps only and streets were
in total darkness, caused by the power
house of the Washington electric light
and power plant being flooded. News
paper plants were shut down and hun
dreds of homes and factories flooded.
The property damage will be very
heavy.
During the night a frantic messen
ger spread panic through the two
towns by dashing through the streets
shouting:
"To the hills, to the hills, the dam
»
Is bursting."
Flee in Terror.
Women and children screamed in
terror, and many fled to the hills.
The alarm, however, was premature,
for the dam has not yet burst, though
at any moment it may do so.
The entire upper part of Chartiers
valley Is flooded and every railroad and
trolley line entering Washington is
tied up wholly or in part.
Early in the evening 28 passengers
were rescued In an ice wagon from the
Pittsburg express on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad after It had been stalled
in five feet of water at the Beau street
crossing.
Many thrilling escapes are reported
from all over the valley, but the ever
present menace of the weakened dam
has caused panic all along the threat
ened territory.
