Prof. Alexander Graham Bell of this city pre- sented to the board of directors of the Associa- tion for the Teaching of Speech to the Dumb, whieh met yesterday afternoon st the Madison Avenue Hotel, in New York, the sum of $25,000, to be held as an endowment, the interest of which is to be used for the teaching of speech to the dumb. Thismoney, the New York Tribune says, is part of the mterest accruing from the Volta Fund, which was given to Prof. Bell by the French government some years ago to be Used at his discretion for scientific and phil- anthropic purposes. This $25,000 will be known as the Betl-Volta Fund. This ization was formed about a month ago, and yesterday was the first meeting of the board of directors. All the members of the board were present. They are Alexander Graham Dell, President; Z. F. Westervelt, secretary; Gardi- ner G.. Hubbard, ,C. A. Yale, Philip Gillette, David Greenberger, A.L. E. Crouter, L. L. Barton and Mary H.'True. One hundred new members were admitted to the asxociation, many of whom are wel! known throughout the United States. Mr. Westervelt said to a Tribune reporter: “There are in all seventy-five schools in the country where the deaf and are taught the De TEpec gesture or sign language. It now has been demonstrated beyond cavil that all” deaf mutes ‘can be tutght tospeak, but owing to the considerable expense attendant upon this instruction fully 5,000 of the children in these schools are not taught to speak at all. Our association has been organized to provide an institute which can give normal instruction to teachers of deaf mutes. Professor Bell's generous gift enables us to do this immediately. We do not wish to come into conflict with any other methods of treating, but whenever an invitation is extended to us we will send lecturers from our institute to such institutions as may desire em. “Another object we have in view is the publi- cation of periodicals devoted to the premulga- tion of our methods. These will be published atirregular intervals as we have material in hand. Ve already have enough for several numbers. We are anxious to have as many of those as are interested in deaf mutes become members of our association. Any one desirous of doing so should communicate with me at ter, or to Prof. Bell, at Washington.” a THE BUILDING SEASON OPENED. Many Permits Taken Out—Effect of the Spring-Like Weather. The building season opened in earnest today. The warm weather evidently put every one in the notion of building, and when Architect Brady of the building inspector's office closed the work of the permit department at 1 o'clock he found that permits had been granted to erect thirty-six brick dwellings and four frame dwellings, aggregating in cost $105,900. “The building season this year promises to bea good one,” mid Inspector Entwisle toe Stax x today. “It is opening rather carly. tofore it has never commenced before March, bub, the tious weather we are having is for the early com- eg eS were granted: Rudolph Kauffmann, one brick dwelling, 1535 16th street northwest, $14,000; Chas.

It really seems like old times in base ball | matiers just now, with all the war-talk floating around and with the American Association magnates throwing down gauntlets on all sides to siguify that they want fight. Indeed, so many gauntlets are being cast upon the ground just at present that an enterprising individual | might, with industry, find enough material in | the base bull crena to stock up haberdashery ‘on a small scale. The Washington Club is not very far bebind the ion in this matter. In fact, it is very close tothe van. It has sent ite presi- dent and its manager to New York to represent its interests in the coming troubles and this morning Dircctor Scanlon sent the following spicy telegram to Mr. Bennett at New York, which leaves no doubt as to the porition of the | home team. “I see you have “False Wings.’ You have planted your colors. Take no step back- ward. The association is right and go ahead The public sentiment is on our side. M. B. Scanlon.” “False Wings,” by the way, is one of the re- cently coined endearing epithets that have been applied to the association president, by iis col- gues. The Nationals are not only out for a ey want new president, but for “bullud.” to seo a break away from the agreement and a new secession, and they think tha the association has more than a chance tor success. Burkett, New York's outfielder and pitcher, a very hard hitter and a most valuable man, has telegraphed the local managers, ing that he would like to “dicker” for n’ coi tract with Washington if the agreement is broken. THE LEAGUE'S ATTITUDE. These and other indications point to war, but the league people are not concerned, appat enntly, over the prospect. President Young said this morning that the association has # serious» domestic trouble, but that it would never go beyond such a strife and violate the agreement. There are enough steady men with capital invested in the association fo pre- vent the radicals from causing war, and among these he mentioned J. Earl Wagner of Phila~ delphia, who, by the w intervi yesterday's | Public ger to thn | fect that the association mean fight the league.

On the one hand violent decla- mation of indignant protests, end on the other hand serene confidence that the war will be one of words. A few hours will settle the case beyond question. ties CINCINNATI ADMITTED. Important Conference of the American Base Ball Association.
