Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications ss they ennnot reach tea
dUcascd portion ot tho ear. There Is only one
uay to lure deatne&s, and that Is by constitu

flamed condition ot the mucous lining of tho
KUituchiun Tube. When this tube U Inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it Is entirely closed, Deafness Is the re
tult, and unless the Inflammation can bo taken
out and this tube restored to Its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed Jorcier: nine
tases out ol ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous
turfuces.

INCREASE OF SUICIDE.
As the World Grows Happier Self
Killing Multiplies.
Goldwin Smith In the Suj.
Statistics Just published show that
suicide Is on the Increase. It might
be hastily inferred that the woild U
becoming less happy. But tho Infer
ence would be unfounded. Rather It
might be said that the moans of en
ployment having been greatly Increas
ed and the standard of It nenerally
raised, deprivation Is mora keenly
felt and more productive of despair.
The leading cause, however, probably
Is sensibility Intensified by civiliza
tion. It seems to be an admitted fact
that the rate of suicide Increases with
national education; not that national
education producea suleld but It pro
duces sensibility. Some Investigator
tell us that suicide is common ulso
among savages. If it Is, tho cause
may be assumed to be very different
from that which operates among the
civilized. The savago yields without
reflection to any Impuls?, llko the
horse In tho New Forest, which, mad
dened by tho sting of the forest fly,
dashes out Its life against a tree.
It does not nppenr from tho classi
fication that any particular calling It
especially suicidal, unless It bo that
of a soldier. It would have, bsen easy
to understand why a British or Prus
sian soldier of former days, subjected
to an Iron discipline, deprived of every
comfort in life and mercilessly flogged
or caned, should bo ready to bolt
through the only door of escape, es
pecially if he had been, Ilka many of
Frederick's soldiers' crimped, or, llko
mnny of those In tho Erltlsh army, de
coyed when ho was drunk by a re
cruiting sergeant Into n service which
in those days was for life. Hut under
the present military system, It is dim
cult to see why soldiers should bs
given to suicide.
Of the races, one Is rather surprised
at first to bo told the Teutonic, in
which you would have expected most
fortitude, are more suicidal than tho
Celtic, In which you would havo tc
pecteel less. The gloom of the north
ern climate my be partly the cnuss,
but It probably may bo said also that
tho deeper character Is tho more mel
ancholic. The Roman Catholic Colt In
Ireland will hear with complacency
that tho i-ato of suicide among tho
Saxon Presbyterian of Ulster is doublo
that among tho Irish of his own race
and religion.
One is rather surprised also to learn
that May, June and July ure the sui
cidal months. It might have been sup
posed rather that they were the season
of cheerfulness and hope. The expla
nation given Is that with revival of
vitalltyall thefeellngs and Impressions
become more lively, those which lead
to suicide among the rest. This Is tho
senson when a young man's fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love and
when perhaps disappointments In love
are common,
Marriage, It appears, la an antidote
to suicide which on the other hand pre
vails among the divorced, Tho fact
Is that nine marriages out of ten are
happy, not so happy perhaps as, In
plto of nil disillusionment, evenness
of temper and determination to make
the best of the union would render
them, yet happier than a lonely life.
The tendency to domestic strife and
divorce would naturally prevail mo.t
among the rich and idle, who have no
dally need ot each other's help und are
tempted to fill the vacancy In their
lives with Irregular love.
That suicide would be far less com
mon among women than among men
statistics were hardly needed to as
sure us. Women are moro patient as
well as less resoluto than men. They
are also less exposed to the stress of
life. Among Spanish women, howevi r,
It seems there is a special prevalence
of suicide, of which the Intensity of
Spanish passion Is no doubt the cause.
It Is rather disappointing to bo told
that neither drunkenness nor sexual
Immorality Is among the principal dl
deot causes of suicide. Their suicidal
effect seems to bo felt more by the
children of the sinners than by the sin
ners. ONE PAMIIY ATE 8,303 PIES.
Year's Record in Pennsylvania
Household Makes Farmer Pioud.
AUoona Letter, in Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Mrs. John Walters, of Paint town
ship, Blnlr county, holds the undisput
ed record for pie baking in Pennsylva
nia. Her record Is bused on figures
furnished by a proud husband, who
bus aided their seven sons in the con
sumption of 8.S03 crisp, fluffy tarts
and pies In thB year ended Dec. 1.
Mr. and Mrs. Walters live on a farm.
Conscious of n record of pies well baked
extending over half a century Mrs.
Walters tells that one of tho clauses
In tho marriage contract provided that
she should huvu pies on the table ev
ery day until death should part her
nnd her husband, Tho youthful bride,
nt the start, baked many pies such as
Mr. Walters' mother never made. But
sho Improved. At any rate tho crisp
pumpkin or apple tnrt waB always to b
found on Walters' table. On the du
tho 8,303d pie wua baked Farmer Wal
ters took a holiday in order thnt ho
might spread tho news. Inrtulry was
natural as to who ate nil tho pies.
"Who ato the pies?" Walter re
peated after his questioner. "Why, wo
home folks, of course. I'm good for
three a day, and I hope I haven't raised
a son who can't do as well as tho old
man. Then I have a hired man, who.
I'm sorry to say, can beat oven me.
Why, that fellow will eat six pies a
day and get fat on 'cm.
"I have the Aggers nil here. Mrs.
Walters kept account. In December,
1S99, she put out 764 pies; January, 1900,
CTli February, 710; March, 723; April,
010; May, "!?;. June, CIO; July, S09; Au
gust, 600; Sep'tember, 70S; October, 757;
November, COS. You will notlco July
was tho prlzo month. That was during
harvest. Figuring that my wlfe'B pies
are a foot across, putting them all In a
string they would rcuch thirteen miles
and a half. Putting them one on top
of the other they would bo three hun
dred feet higher than the Eirfcl tower.
Puttln' them a step apart thoy would
reach 43. G miles, and a man could
tramp on a pie every step.
"Who bakes the pies? Mrs. Waltors.
of course. She bakes 'em In tho big
oven In the garden, whero they get the
flavor of tho hlckorybatk. Nothinglike
hickory bark to make a pie taste right.
Every day she bakes twenty pies. Of
course Saturdays and days when we
havo visitors, she doubles up."
Mr. Walters Is CJ years old. Pigurlng
on three pies n day, he thinks he has
eaten about 43,500 pies since his mar
riage. poooooooooooooooo

telle, oilel gymnast, and Prouty Brothers, corned
lan, who gave pleasing entertainments: Henri
French, tho remarkably funny and cleur Jug
gler and unlcyclist, together with his avistantt,
did moro than please.
Laura Comitotk, n beautiful nnd stately lady,
rang "Lamb, Lamb, Lamb!" for which shit wns
recalled twice. CooUey and tlustcd and their
dog did good singing and dancing. A ry en
tertaining and laughable sketch was entitled "A
Man of Chance." by Thomas J. Dermney, Wil
liam Keller Meek and Margaret Burnham. Prince
Albene and May La Brant completely mystified
the audience with their act.
'Ihp cream of the performance, lioweur, was
the little one-act sketch entitled "The Quiet Mr.
Cay," by Joseph Unit and Carrio De Mar, of
which extended nctlce was given jestcrday.
Jack's Burlesquers.
The Sim T. Jack Burlcuie company, which
began a return engogement at the Gaiety jes
terday afternoon, has been much Improved dncc
the last visit of tho tioupo to Scranton. The
company has cicr been a popular organization
with locrs of burlesque, hereabouts, and under
ellrcctlon of the present proprietor, Mabel Hazle
ton, Ls adding fresh laurels nt each vllt.
The members of the olio demontiated that in
addition to pretty faces and shapely forias the
eempany contains many real artists In their re
snectho lines. The rjcrformance of the Simp-
winj, in which the overture to the Poet and
Peasant wis rendered upon the xjlophone and
glockenspiel, was among the bot of the muslol
features. Julia N.itus, the tuba soloist, also
gave ii pleasing number. Mile. Beatrleo Grif
fith, the daneer and e-ontortlonlst, appears to
h.m- removed sccral more Joints from her an
atomy since last feen in Scranton, nnd per
forins feats that are truly raancllous. Hoyt

Josle Atle.a were enthusiastically encored. Large
audiences greeted the company at each perform
ance yesterday. The company will be at the

"All on Account of Eliza."
Tonight those two capital funmahcr-i, I.oals
Mann and Clara Llpinan, are to appear at the
l.jceum, presenting for the tint time in this
city a new comedy, wilttcu cpieisly for them
by Leo Dltrklisteln, and entitled, "All On Ac
count of nibta." In It the cleverly enteitalnlng
plajers are said to be doing the imt hilariously
funny and artistic work of their stage career.
The piece hai none of the dlsagreeabln Trench
flaior of "The Girl from Par!" and "The Tele
phone Girl." On the contiary, It i! an Ameri
can comedv. renleto with American character
types, and bristling with clean, wholesome Amerl.
can fun. Mr. Mann and Miss Lipman are ilraw
tng crowded houses curyuhcie.
"The Parish Priest."
The well known and popular Irish actor, Mr,
Daniel Sully, surrounded by a capable company,
will pay us a Ult on next Monday night, in
on entirely new role, In which he has been ap
pearing with great success In Kcw Yoik and
Boston. Tlioso who hate admlied and locd Mr.
Sully In his genial, whole-souled IilJi character
katlons will find no cauo to regret lili lajlng
oslda secular garments and assuming tho habile
menU of tho Parish Priest. He Is tho samo lov
able man still and his ostments seem to have
given him a higher grotp on human affeutions.
There Is nothing to otlcnd In the Parish Pi lest.
It treats of thoe subjects nearest th heart
tenderly, and withal Is pervaded by that delight
ful comedy of IUch Mr. Sully Is so meat an
exponent. Its exquisite sentiment brings the
tears to the heart, but 're they can reach the
ees, Mr. Sully has banished them by his irre
sistible humor. The lova story is a pretty one,
yet forcefully told, and holds the attention until
the drop ot the curtain.
This return engagement will b welcomed by
Scranton theatcr-gocrs.

THE MARKETS.
WaII Strttt Review.
Ktvt York, Jan. 3. The long expected stotni of
liquidation broke; over the stock market today
and swept prices In a torrent ol selling on t
downward course nhlch was not effectually
checked een at theo lose of the market. There
were wide breeches In prices by that time and the
precipitate character ot the selling gave the
market the appearance oi seml-demoralUallon.
Speculators who were long of stocks showed
many e,t the symptoms ot panlo in their scram
ble to saio the Imposing profit which the pro
longed rise had Indicated for them on paper.'
Tho market win so top-heavy, by reason ol the
vast number of accounts on narrow msrgln whlrh
Infested It that th fall in prices gained mo
mentum as It progressed. Total sales, 1,SG3,000
shares.
The bond market was very active and liquida
tion was In force thero as well as in stocks, but
the declines In prices were by no means i
marie,. Total sale's, par value, 3,W5,IXW. U.
S. refunding a declined 'j and new 4s regis
tered ', on tho last call.
