Confiscation of Clmrcli Property. "The Government at the close of the lat war confiscated their convents and mon asteries and gave back to the people a vast amount of church property which they had nc-uniulated. This property amounted to reveral hundred million dollars and it was rll turned to public use.

THE BAffDS AKD ORCHESTRAS From Alrcad Do a Great Deal of Good and Protection Doesn't Result From Excluding Them. PL1GIAEISH CHARGED TO CELIHK, Odli and Ends of Gossip Thit Will Interest Ljrtnof the ArtDiTine. In the United States Senate, January 11, Senator Qnay introduced a bill to construe the word "artists," in the alien contract labor act, to apply to sculptors, portrait painters, eminent musical conductors, solo ists, performers on.musical instruments and vocalists, but not to apply to bands of music or orchestras. This bill of our worthy junior Senator is proper matter for press criticism, whether the now famous certificate of deposit was such or not Certainly the alien contract labor act stands in need of amendment; no one thinks it ought to keep on excluding ministers of the gospel, for instance. But why thp "artists" who are excepted from its prohibition should now be defined by Con gress toinclude the persons named by Mr. Quay's bill and no others, is not by any means so clear. As a matter of fact music makers of all kinds have been steadily coming over under contract since the passage of the act with out interlerence by the authorities. Though this practical construction of the word "artist" as including all such persons might seem sufficient, there is no harm in having it expressly sanctioned by Congress, so as o head off the loud-mouthed demagogues that seek to currr favor with the populace by denouncing all manner ot transient loreigners, however desirable for the higher life of the country. But why exclude "bands of music or or chestras?" Why, especially since "per formers on musical instruments" are to be admitted as individuals? This would be a saving at the spigot while losing at the bunghole that is, supposing that the coming hither of any musical performers, with or without contracts, can, under any circumstances, be accounted a losing matter for us. The bands or orchestras that come over as such must always bs exceedingly few in number, and, furthermore, do not really compete with our own players in their cus tomary line of business. The Strauss Orchestra, for instance, created its own demand bv the force of a great name; it did not take away a penny that in its ab sence would naturally have' gone into the pocket of our own players. And, more over, the bands and orchestras come only for a temporary stay and then return home. Such tours oueht to be encouraged; if they succeed it is chiefly because of merit, anil they thus form a good element to be intro duced into our musical life from time to time; if they fail, no one has been hurt but themselves. Those who think the downtrodden Ameri can "musician" needs protection shonld turn their efforts toward keeping out the individual "performers on musical instru ments," whom Quay's bill would admit, and not trouble themselves about the "bands or orchestras," which it would exclude. But genuine friends of onr country's musical progress will continue to welcome warmly all the music-makers that will come over to help us. SInilcal Slattern by Cable. A London cable received by The Dis patch last night speaks thus of the music written byJIr. Georg Henschel for Mr. Beerbohm Tree's "Hamlet" production last Thursday evening: Sir. Ucnschel's incidental music, though it had to be greatly curtailed Thursday evening, proved to be of high class and thoroughly appropriate. It will be per formed in the form of an orchestral suite at the London symphony concert next Tues day, and it has been secured for production inits entirety at a revival in German of "Hamlet" at the Burg Theater, Vienna, next winter. "Cavalleria Busticana" was successfully produced in Paris Tuesday, although some of the French critics attacked it severely. A syndicate with a capital of 20,000 has been formed here to acquit e from Mr. Ascher berg the sole English rights in "Cavalleria Kusticana" and L' Amico Fritz." A letter has been published from Jlr. Mclsulty, the Irish musical critic, which is likelv to make some stir in dramatic circles. Mr. McNultv insinuates ihat the principal leatures ia Mr. Gilbert's "The Mounte banks," were taken from the libretto of an opera written by Mr. Mcljulty, which he sent to the late Mr. Alfred Cellier last summer. The principal characters in this libretto were a magician who, with an elixir, chances a person into the character he or she nishes to be and a clerk workman whose jerky language is similar to that used by Mr. Gilbert in the "Mountebanks." Mr. Mc Xulty also claims that his libretto had a song" "Drop a Penny in the Slot," while Gilbert's version has it, "Put a Penny in the Slot" The Gilbert and Cellier Opera. A portion of Arthur Brisbane's weekly letter from Xew Torkfits in here right well: The result of the collaboration between Gilbert, of Gilbert and Sullivan fame, and Cellier, tho unhapoy musician who died a few days before his work was produced, ap pears to have been very successful in Lon don. It is called the "Mountebanks." The music has come to Xew York, and will prob ably soon find its way to pianos and thanco to band onrans. The success of this comic opera has doubt less filled the soul of the sour Mr. Gilbert with verv sincere joy. Nobody likes him very much, and when he and Sir Arthur Sul livan quarreled, newspaper writers and others, led by Henry Labonchere, were en thusiastic in the assertion that the Gilbert and Sullivan comoination was more than half Sullivan, and that Gilbert would be a failure without his partner. Labouchcre, who never will see any cood in Gilbert unless he can't help It attacks Gilbert's now work, of course. He thinks that Gilbert confess his own weakness in the tu o lines: " "Dicky birds tweetle, tweetle, tweek. Which may be silly, and does sonnd weak." And In the lines which tho girl sings: "Hero 1 admit genuine wit. As a commodity, ranks "below oddity." Gilbert understands the use of leparteo and snch things quito as well as the distin guished Mr. JLabouchere, and when he goes in to say anj thing he makes it vigorous. By way or getting even with Labonchere he is alleged to repeat on nil possible occasions Ins statement that Labonchere could never forgivo him for introducing him to the present Mrs. Labonchere, wnich it appears Gilhert did. Many lines in Gilbert's new work are good and up to his rormer lei rl rveept for the fact that the Gilbert method isnnlongernew. It is possible that the author alludes to him self in the lines Though I'm a button, recollect I command your respect I cannot Tor money be vulgarly funuy My object's to make you reflect Tne most peculiarly Gilbertian Idea per haps is the Tamorra Secret Society, a bind or brigands, whose motto is "revenge with out anxiety," and who have .sworn ven gence against all mankind, because, as they put it "Five hundred j ears ago our ancestor's next door neighbor, Had a mother whose brother by some means or other. Incurred three months' hard labor." Mr. Gilbert, who at one time In his life was a newspaper man, bnt who considers that the newspapers do not sufficiently appre THE' ciate him, expresses his opinion of English reporters and others, as follows: Bland reporters in the courts, Who suppress police reports. Sheriffs' yeomen, pen in fist Makiug ont a j ury list; Stern policemen, tall and spare, Acting all upon the "square," (Which, in words that plainer rail, Means that you can wiuare them all) irjou want to move the lot, Put a penny in the slot.

Fed on JOURNALS IEFT BY THE DIIJfG MEN rCORRESPOXDEKCE OT TnK DIS PATCH. 1 TJsmrwAiA, Terra del Fdego, Dec 22. We have been makine a rather melan choly excursion to Picton Island, away down in the neighborhood of Cape Horn, where, at a point appropriately named Starvation Beach, the first party of Protestant mission aries who came to this part of the world met a cruel and lingering death. Probably you have heard of Captain Allen Gardiner,' a gallant officer of the British navy, who gave his best years, his fortune and finally his life, in fruitless endeavors to improve the social and moral condition of the de graded JETuegians and Patagonians. Being a zealously religious man, he con ceived the idea that he was called upon to go aboul the world "preaching the gospel to every creature," and rescuing heathen brands from the burning. In pursuance of this notion, he four times circumnavigated the globe; visited the Zulus in Southern .Africa, the cannibals of far islands and the fiercest tribes of other remote places. At one time, with a single companion, he spent a year in the Patagonian desert, near Gre gory Bay; at another, bent on the same er rand, he took his family to reside in the Falkland Islands, which were then uncolo nized, except at a convict station; and later he devoted himself to this inhospitable archipeligo, vainly attempting to establish friendly relations with the natives. The Savages Didn't Appreciate Him. His first station in Terra del Fuego was at Banner Cove, Picton Island, but the un appreciative savages whose welfare he had so much. at heart, plundered him ot every thing, and he v as compelled toleave to save his life. Returning to England, with pious ardor unabated, though he had spent all his own fortune without apparently accomplish ing a particle of good, he went about the country lecturing to obtain money enough to make another trial which resulted in h's death. The ninth and last time he left England on missionary work he brought his com panions to Terra del Fuego, all of whom were as heathen-crazed as himself. They were Dr. liichard Williams, a .Loudon surgeon, who gave up a good practice to fol low out his pious convictions; Mr. John Haidment, teacher, of Liverpool; Joseph Frwin, a mechanic, and three Cornish boat men. Settling on Picton Island near Spaniards Harbor, they experienced a series of misfortunes which soon reduced them to eating mice, decayed fish and sea-weed to sustain life. Meanwhile the London mis sion under whose auspices they came paid no attention to their necessities and failed to send the promised supplies; and after a year of horrible suffering, during which the little party displayeda degree of pious hero ism worthy the martyrs of old, they died, one by one, from slow starvation. Beautiful Scenery of tho Southland. Tears later, curiously enough, we visited the scene of the tragedy, under the auspices of the same society that allowed its mission aries to starve, in the schooner which they have named the Allen Gardiner. There are bits of scenery compared to which the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence fade into insignificance. Precipices meet the eye. and mountains covered with snow that have never borne the impress of a human foot. Some of the islands have a mottled appearance, owing to Indian fires that have burned the foilage off in places; some are of clayey formation, others are covered with black lava; but most of them are green, velvety and undulating. Anon we come upon sheltered coves that are dreams of beautv, within sight of sil very lakes and dancing streams, and park like . stretches of greenest verdure all backed bv magnificent, snow-capped ranges. "What charming places here for picnic par ties barring the necessity of furs and overcoats and the daily likelihood of snow- squalls. But it is alandof paradoxes and sharp con tradictions, for notwithstanding the wild flowers and perpetual verdure, tempests of hail and snow may come at any moment, or gales of hurricane fury. There are dan gers, too, on every hand hidden rocks out laying the shores, currents, eddies and treacherous shoals; and despite the appear ance of total unoccupancy, a canoe now and then shoots forth from some sequestered inlet, filled with naked savages, who in variably follow the ship as fast as they can paddle, jabbering and gesticulating like so many lunatics. . Savages Ready to Plunder. Should we happen to strike one of those hidden rocks, or be wrecked by an unex pected gale, or find ourselves fast on some treacherous shoal, scores of canoes now nnseen. but doubtless lurking, like snakes, under shelter of the bushes would flock to our undoing. The Fuegians would probably not eat us, for most authorities agree that these queer people never were cannibals (though that famous American, Captain Smiley, declare that he once visited a chief of one of these islands with whom he was on friendly terms, and found him superin tending the cooking of his oldest wife); but they would certainly rob us of everything, even the clothes upon our backs, and leave us to 'perish like the ill-fated Gardiner party, it they did not more mercifully mur der us in some quicker manner. It was a fine, mild morning for this lati tude when we found ourselves in the west ern arm of Spaniards Harbor, and cast anchor near a ' sandy beach upon which a heavy surf was breaking with a sullen roar. Before us were grassy plains and a winding river, beyond were low hills covered with trees, and to the left a dense fqrest. This is Starvation Beach, the Mecca of all En glish speaking people who find themselves in these waters. Kecord of the Lost Missionaries. "We notice a dark mass of rock close by, looming up from the waters' edge 50 feet or more, dotted on top with scanty shrubs, and instantly recognize it as the entrance to that gloomy cavern so minutely described in the missionary anuals, within which Gardiner and his friends tried to make a home, a la Bobinson Crusoe in his castle. Just beyond reach of surf a mound of stones marks a grave, and on the flat surface of the upper rock Captain Gardiner's name is painted and the year of his death, the exact date not being known. Near this rude cairn grows a giant beech tree, to which a board has been firmly lashed, which bears upon it the names of all the'party and as serts that they "departed this lifeattermuch fatigue and "privation from want of food," and that their remains are buried beneath. It seems that while the seven Englishmen were perishing by inches, they kept a daily record of their thoughts and doings; and months after they were dead, a tardy rescu ing party found the journals, which had been preserved in an almost miraculous manner from winds and rains and thieving natives. I have been permitted to read those words traced by dying men, and wish I could transcribe them for you entire so full of cheerful faith and even happiness are they, down to the last moment The Craving "I Hunger. Space will permit bnt few extracts, here and there, as follows: Dr. "Williams says: "We all feel the wantkof food and some times the cravings ot hunger arc distressing. After eating mussels for a fortnight, I was obliged to give them up. My food is now wild celery and broth made from the soft part of limpets, when they can be obtained. Todar we dined on part of a shag, which was killed while sleeping on the Beach by t x . PBW1; SUNDAY.1 JANUARY 24 Mr. Maidment ten days a?o. It was dug np this morning and proved to be quite tender, having lost its fishy flavor." "Captain Gardiner writes: "We managed to irap a fox, and found in its stomach feathers, fish and mice. He was a fine ani mal, with a splendid brush; albeit the odium attached to a fox our party have al ready so overcome any such natural"fastid iousness that this morning they made a hearty breakfast 01 his 'pluck,' the legs and quarters having been cut up and kept in re serve. It was'not the first extraordinary boune bouche our worthy caterer has set upon the spit or made intq soup for us. We are still confined to bed, varying much as to our sensible condition at different times. Sometimes we are apparently well; but the least exertion, in talking or other wise, has a prostrating influence that takes 'days to rally from. "Weeds That "Were Like Manna. "About two months ago I picked uy some weed from the rocks, which was boiled as an experiment in the event of our requiring it as a food. It became tolerably soft and was easily masticated. We thought no more of it till a few days ago, when Mr. Maidment, unable to procure either limpets or mussels, and the old stalks of celery having become very unpalatable, added a little of it to the broth. By practice in the cooking of this weed we have found it to be a providential supply. It will boil to a gluten, and must be very nutritious. It is now my chief diet, since limpets cati only be found at particu-t lar periods. The weed grows in small bunches on the rocks, and has a thin, crimped semi-transparent leaf, resembling pickled catmage, though ol an olive green color. "This jellv weed, as we now call it, was providentially brought to our notice by some leaves of it adhering to the fin of a mussel in the saucepan, which were found to dis solve into soft pulp. I desireto thank my heavenly Father for directiug us to it, and for so mercifully providing a palatable diet in our present necessity. " How the Bodies Were Found. It was the American Captain Smiley, who first appeared upon the scene of the tragedy. His log-book says: "Went on shore in Sp.inairds Harbor and found a boat on the beach with one person dead in side, supposed to be Pearce, as we cut the name off his frock. Ws found another body on the beach completely wajhed in pieces, which we have everv reason to be lieve is poor Doctor Williams. Another buried, which was John Babcock. The sight was awful in the extreme, and the two hardy sea captains with me cried like chil dren. Books, papers, clothing, medicine, tools were strewn all along the beach and on the boat deck, but there was no sign of any edged tools whatever. The person in the boat had a large scar in his neck and another in his head, and I suppose that an Indian might have killed him, as they were too weak to offer resistance. I find "they had long been out of provisions, and died miser able deaths of starvation and scurvy. "Captain Gardiner's remains were found beside his boat, the stranded Pioneer. He had put on three suits of clothes, one over anotner, and over all his arms were thrust into woolen stockings. Mr. Maidment's ematiated bodv was found in the cave, and upon them all biids and fishes had been feeding." Clvillzlnc Savages In England. Perhaps the most notable missionary effort was made soon after the return of Ad miral Fitzroy's expedition, which is de scribed in Darwin's "Voyage of the Bea gle." FourFengians were taken to En gland, where one of them died and the others remained lor three years and were educated. One of these was called "Jimmy Button" because hisjnother sold him to the Europeans for a brass button cut from an officer's coat. He was fairly intelligent and gave promise of future usefulness, so it was decided to send him back to his native land as a sort of assistant missionary. Before starting for his former home, Jimmy received a great many substantial gifts from charitable English people. The ship's carpenter built a comfortable house for the missionary and Jimmy; a garden was made and seeds were sown. Bnt hardly was the ship out of sight be fore the natives robbed Jimmie of all his treasures, burned up his fine clothes and compelled him to dress, or rather undress, like his own people. The next visitors to Terra del Fuego found that his taste of civilization had only made Jimmy Button a cuter rascal than before. Affairs are now in a much more peaceable condition. For many years Bishop Sterl ing, of the Church of England, has had cha'ge of the missionary work in South America, with headquarters on the Falk land Islands. He has won the friendship of the Islanders, far and jiear, by presents, ad libitum, beads, twine, blankets and cloth ing, and the schooner in which he sails around the archipelago is another Allen Gardiner, named in honor of the first un fortunate missionary.

The Major Fights in Tain for rnrity Against the Citj Officers. , POLICE TEOTECT THE TOEEE JOINTS rgr-ECTAI. TrXEGRJUI TO TnE DISPATCTt.l Columbus, Jan. 23. Ohio's capital is at present the one bright spot in the gamblers' forced journey. He has been driven lrom other cities of the country by strict regula tion and the enforcement of the law, and it is with a sigh of relief that he reaches a wide-open town. There is probably not another city in the country where the fra ternity meet the abandon and freedom which greets them in Columbus. The members of the Legislature are about to protect themselves asainst the brace games and bunko sharks who crdwd the streets and in a measure obstruct locomo tion. For this purpose, what is known as the Daugherty bill for reorganization of the city, has been introduced and is well along in the legislative hopper. In the arguments offered before the Legis lative Committee, the most prominent is that tha city should have relief from the -gambling holes with which it is infested and the people be given a chance to use the streets. Whether the new order of things, which is promised at an early day will be any better, is yet to be determined. Flourishing Under a Liberal Mayor'. The Democrats are now in control of all the city departments under the "Kipper" legislation of last winter, and they are not moving harmoniously in the handling of the fraternity. Mayor Karb was elected last spring and thought to jump into popularity by enforcing all the laws and ordinances, but was a little slow in malcing tne move He was chosen on a liberal platform, with out any pledges to fulfill, and the gamblers took it for granted that as they were not an issue of the campaign they would be given the freedom of the city. The Mayor was in training under the tutelage ol a liberal Board of Police Com missioners, and he was led for several months to be believe there was nothing going on but that which might be approved by the most exact During the spring and summer months the town became flooded, and in addition to the regnlargames of faro, which grew to the dozen limit, nearly every saloon had its "crap joint," and finally a keno layout on a large scale was opened. The Poolrooms tho Greatest .Evil. These were minor attractions compared with the poolrooms which opened for the sale of combinations on all important sport ing events. The revenue was all going in one direc tion, and Mayor Karb, through the offices of several of the reformers, finally discovered what was going on and issued an order for closing of the poolrooms, followed by in structions to look after the other gaming centers in the city. For several weeks there was some pre tense at an observance of the order; that is, the front doors were closed part of the time. The Mayor found his order did not go, and he undertook to force the Chief of Police (Murphy) to the front, but the latter was stubborn and apparently hall the support of the Police Commission. Gambling continued In a quiet way until two weeks since, when the order was passed around that everything could go open as formerly, and there has been no cessation since. It is well understood that Murphy is authority for the freedom which exists at present, and the Mayor is endeavoring to find some way in which to secure relief. Murphy Threatened With Suspension. It has been intimated to the Mayor in the past few days that the element in the police department which is opposed to his order is reaping qnite a handsome dividend from the privilege and thishas again aroused him to action. It is current gossip on the streets to-day that the Mayor will within the next two days suspend Murphy from the force. He is said to have had this move in view for some weeks, but hesitated for the reason that his suspension would only be temp'or ary and until the Police Commissioners might meet, when they could sustain or undo the work which he had commenced, just as suited their idcai of propriety. He fearijhe is unable to control a majority of the commission. As an excuse for suspension, the Mayor claims that the Chief last week absented himself from the city without leave, and has refused since returning to make any ex planation concerning his absence. The real cause for the suspension, however, when It comes, will be the disagreement over the gambling question. An Inventory of the Bis Joints. . During the fall, when there was a tem porary suspension of business, many of the gamblers left the" city, but within the past two weeks the majority of them have re turned, and their former places of gathering are kept brilliantly illuminated all night. Columbus is a city of about 100,000 in habitants, and at present is supporting two large pool rooms where hundreds gather daily, and five richly fnrnished faro empor iums, with not less than 60 poker games with established headquarters. The sports of the country will recognize the familiar green-cloth Sabitues when the names of Weber and Putnam, Dick Morebead, Marsh Siddons, John Alexander.the Black Prince; Arthur Duffy and George W. Saviers, are mentioned as proprietors and promotors of the game. These all have hazard games and stud poker accompaniments, with roulette's at about half the number. It is a great day for the sports in Colum bus, and the prospects are that the- harvest 'will continue. Passengers Land From a Wrecked Steamer.

The Bemlts'Whlch Follow In Its Walt- nnd Measures Necessary lor .itl ef La Grippe Thirteen Centuries Old Sal J to Have Originate,! In Siberia Addltl-jnal Evidence Substantiating Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers' Claim. "The epidemic of 'La Grippe,' which seems to be sweeping over the country, and waich has .recently been given column uiu col umn in tho newspapers," said Dr. W. H. Copeland to thij writer, "Is by" no me ans a new disease. History tells us that it has been known in Europe since the fifth cen tury; and invariably sweeps over the coun try from cast to west. Tho disease is beyond question infectious, and spreads by atmos pheric influences. Many examples are to be found in the current medical literature which could be cited to provo the assump tion. "This disease is sometimes called Bussian influenza, because it is supposed to have had its origin In Siberia. It usually occurs as an epidemic and travels rapidly over the globe. It has received many names, tho most common beinu' iuflnenzaand la grippe. The Italians in the seventeenth century, called it influenza, supposing it owed its orizin to some occult influence of the stars. La grippe is said by some to como from the Polish 'crpka,' meaning hoare:' others recognize in it tho French word 'Gripper,' which means 'to seize.' The Germans call it 'blitz katarrh.' "Theie is one bad result fiom It, however, ana that is, the numerous cases of chronic catarrh and bronchitis that will remain as a reminder of la grippe's baleful influence. The press has made so light of the danger that the people as a rule think there la none. They stay in the house for a day or two and then go about their business as usual in spite or the sneezing and coughing. They do not realize what this sneezing Rnd cough ing may lead to. A chronic catarrh, a chronic bronchitis, possibly a pneumonia, followed by consumption, mav result from their thoughtlessness. The effects of such an epidemic as we aro passing through last tor weeks and months aud cost the people thousands of dollars, not only in loss of health, but in actual money- paid out to rid themselves of ills consequent upon their caielessness, and which a few more days stay in tho house would have saved them. "Catarrh is a little thine at first, but may eventuate in terrible suffering. We all know what a cold in the head i, and when we catch one we look forward to the usual nine days of congbinsr and sneezing and blowing our nosed. But now imagine that cold constant, continually with us, growing worse steadily and with no hope that in nine days v. e shall be rid of it, but knowinc that it will bo our constant and faithful companion for life if we do not get it cured that is catarrh. Vc physicians bave in stances ot it daily, and, although we are forever warning our patients to use a little care and not catch cold, how many are there who pay attention to our Tvordst" A Local Instance. To give an illustration of what I have just sard, I have here an Interview with Mr. John Canavan, who lives at Jones' lane, Mt. Washlncton. Mr. Canavan is a mill worker, and gives his story in his own words this way: "I had been troubled for five years and more with catarrh. My ears, nose, throat, lunjra and stomach were affected. Every spring I would be taken down with a spell of sicKnesa from my chest trouble. 1 lost flesh and strength rapidly. My tronble came on in the usual way a bad cold ne glected until it became a chronic catarrh. The pains in inv head were nt times almost unendurable. My nose would stop up and my throat would be filled with mucus, and I wonld have to hawk and spit all day long The disease did not only affect my head but it went to my stomach. My appetite failed mo and I was gradually Decerning a wreck of my formcrself. The most distress ing part of my trouble thouah was tny hearing. My left ear became affected and grew so bad that the liearintr was almost totally destroyed. Within the last few months the right ear bezan to rrow painlul and discharge, and the hearing became irradually impaired; so mnch so that I had to give up my regular work and go on as extra Just whenever I was able to attend to my duties. "I had read much of the success of Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers, and after think ins the matter over I decided to call on them and see what could be done foi'me. I have taken their treatment several months, and the discharge of the riubt ear has en tirely subsided. My hearing is very much improved: in fact, is nearly as good as ever it was. My general health is wonderfully improved, and I am increasing in strength and health daily. I am able to resume my usual work, and perform all the duties re quired of me. All this I owe to the superior treatment that I received from Drs. Cope land, Hall and Byers. It gives mo pleasure to recommend them, for I Teel r atisfled that what they have done for mc they can do lor others." A very little study of asatorav will show the reader that the Juncture of the back passage of the nose and upper part of the throat is connected with the ear by a minute and delicate passage known as the Eusta chian tube. Along this tnbe tho catarrhal process extends, producing congestion and inflammation. By the further extension of this piocess to the mucous lining of the tympanum of tho ear is caused, in some cases, slight forms of catarrh, of the middle ear, and in this way partial or complete deafness Is produced. Partial or complete deafness mav in like manner result lrom the swollen thickened tissue encroaching upon the mouth of the Eustachian tnoc. Partial or complete deafness mav result from catarrhal interference with the naal breathing, depriving the ear of a proper sup ply of pure uir, or from the effects of obstruc tion in the nasal passages, causing undue ranflcation or condensation of the air in the middle ear. In such cases as these, seueral remedies which are often prescribed prove compara tively ineffectual. A cure can only he ob tained by skillful and scientific local treat ment. PEOPLE TOU KNOW. They Can Be Called Upon and tils Truth fatness of Their Statements Verified. MB. WILLIAM D iTlS, 1825 Liberty St., an employe of Zu; &. Co. Iron Works, Thirteenth St., says: "1 am glad to add my testimony to the ovidenqe In favor of Drs. Copeland, Hall & Bvers' skillful treatment, for they accomplished in my case what was said to be impossible. My triends and I de cided that 1 had consumption. I had tried many doctors and not a single one had done me any good until I went to Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers. If it had not been for these doctors I candidly believe I wonld have been in m v grave. I have gained 35 pounds in weight., Mr. ALFBED NICKOLDS, Broreton ave nne, an edge tool maker emp'ojed at tha Iron City Tool Works, on Thirty-second street, testifies as follow: "It was about six years ago that 1 began to ha1 e trouble with my head and throat. My disease grew steadily worse as tlmo passed until there was not an hour or a minute that I did rot suffer from it. Drs. Copeland, Hall and By ers cured me up well and strong, and I hope that making the fact of my cure public may lead some oiher sufferer to find reliefalso." Mr J. J. O'DOXNKLL, Kansas street, states: "For H years my stomach and liver caused me the greatest trouble. Daring a creat part of that time 1 was compelled to live on liquid food entirely, as solids caused gieat distress, nausea, vomiting, flatulence and the most excruciating cramps. Vomit ing was my only relief from such attacks. "Beading of so many remarkable cures by rfeh. .jam.. Ii izanH Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers, I determined tq consult them. Their examination and method of handling ray case was sor thorongh and professional It at once in spired.mo with confidence and I decided to take treatment. "The results are very decided and satis factory. All ray distressing symptoms have been dispelled. I owe all this to the care ful and conscientious treatment received ae the hands of Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers, and cheerfully make this statement in their praise." MB. JA3IES SHIPP, 17 Eilna street, says: "For eight vears I was troubled with almost continual, dull, beaw headaches. My nose was stopped up and I could plainly feel the uucu3 dropping Into mv throat from the back part ofmy head. My throat would fill up. I had a disagreeable cough and spit in order 6 clear it. "Drs.CopeIand,Hall and Byers.nnderstood my case at once, and I placed myself under their care. There was no hesitation about their methods of handling it, They gave me confidence because thev seemed to know exactly what was wrong'and what to do to make it right. I am a well man, in con sequence, to-dat All of the symptoms I spoke of are gone, and I can't remember tjie time in my life before when I felt as well as I do now." SIB. ASTON'S INDOBSEMENT. The Superintendent or the Mines of the J.B. Steen Colliery Belates His Experlenes. "I had been troubled for about eight yean with catarrh," said Mr. Edwin Aston, tha well-known superintendent or mines ot tha J. B. Steen & Co. colliery at Idle wood. Pa. "I was unfortunate enough to take 'La Grippe' last year, and since then have been much worse with my head and chest," con tinued Mr. Aston. "My nostrils were clogged up so with ca tarrhal secretions and swellings that I conld not breathe through them. 1 his occasioned violent neuralgic pains over my forehead and through my temples, which almost blinded me. My chest felt as if held In a vise all tho time ana I had constant pains shootlnz through to the shoulder blade on each side. "Mvbrcathinc was so oppressed that I could not inflate my lunzs to the full extent. In the morning I was all stopped up as if I had been breathing the foul air of the mines all night. Although my appetite -was good, what I ate did not seem to do me any good, as I lost flesh rapidly and was fast goinc into decline. After treating a short time with Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers I can conscientiously say that my trouble i3 all gone. I feel young ajriin and bave more life than I have had for years. "I have recommended quite a number of the workmen under my supervision to these skillful gen tlemen, and they are all, without a "single exception, improving as rapidly as I did."
