Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applieatio'.ia, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
'ihere is only n 'i" way to cure deaf
ness nml t hut i« t>y constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tub.- is inflamed von have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely c osed. Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammalion can he taken out ami this
tube restored toils normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
Wc will give One Hundred Dollars
for any CMSB of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catanh Cure. Send for circu

MILEAGE HOLD UP
SCORED BY BROWN
Major Isaac B. Brown, in au inter
view concerning the Pennsylvania rail
road mileage book, for which S3O is
charged,, the additional $lO being held
as a guarantee that no one but the
purchaser can use it, savs there are
features about the mileage book which
are annoying and appear to be in vio
lation of the spirit of the constitution,
and the protests of the traveling public
and the Internal Affairs department
have been disregarded.
If the company's charter ]>ermits it
to make such demands then its action
is legal; if, on the contrary, the ac
cumulation of hundreds of thousands
of dollars, as a deposit from the pur
chasers of mileage books, is not auth
orized by law, then the company's ac
tion is illegal. Major Brown cites the
constitution to show that 4 ' no corpora
tion shall engage in any business oth
er than that expressly authorized in
its charter." and no carrying company
shall directly or indirectly engage in
auy other business. He holds that this
holding up of the $lO by the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company is dangerous
ly near the banking business,and prop
er regard for the depositors would
suggest the payment of interest on de
posits.
"The fact is," concludes Major
Browu, "that the mileage book put ou
the markot some two or three yearn ago
wax not the result of the best thought
iu connection with tlie transportation
of passengers,but those who conceived
the idea are not willing to acknowl
edge tlio wrong inflicted upon the pub
lic, as they would do by abandoning
the scheme. It bo ab
andoned just the same."
"The Homeless 26," an organization
of traveling mcn.numbering thousands
in Pennsylvania, witli offices iu Pitts
burg,has addressed a letter to Govern
or Pennyi>acker calling attention to
the uujustuess of the Pennsylvania
railroad's demand for an extra ten
dollars before it w ill issue a twenty
dollar mileage ticket, and asking
whether any reform legislation to pre
vent this would be considered' at the
coming extra session. The Governor
replied that the suggestion would bo
carefully considered. Commercial or
ganizations all over the country are
taking the matter up, and if nothing
is done at the coming extra session, the
subject will certainly get before the
regular session in 1807.
Forty States' Divorce Union.
The Commission appointed by Gov
ernor Pennypacker to codify divorco
; laws of the State and to arrange for a
congress of delegates from all the
States of the Union at Washington on
i February 19 to obtaiu uniform mea
! sures of divorce, had its third meeting
| in Williamsport on Friday.
' The Commission consists of William
H. Stakey and Walter G. Smith, of
Philadelphia, and C. Laßue Munson,
of Williamsport, and it announced
that already thirty States had notified
it of appointment of delegates to the
congress at Washington ; 10 more had
; signified an intention of doing so at
once, and but one declined. This was
South Carolina, and the Governor of
that State explained that inasmuch as
his State has divorce laws it would not
be necessary to bo represented in the
congress.
Among the delegates ohosen are a
number of bishops, one archbishop aud
a number of other prominent ecclesias
j tical men.
RELATING TO
DIPHTHERIA
The subject of diphtheria claimed
the attention of the School Board fur
while .Monday and notion was
taken on a very important point relat
ing to the disease, which, it seems,
does not come iu under any of the
rules laid down by the State to govern
the schools.
Borough Superintendent Gordy call
ad attention to cases which now and
thou occur iu which when diphtheria
breaks out, others iu the same house
hold who are not infected leave and r.f
ter sojourning iu some other residence
when the card is removed at their own
home return aud as the latter placo
has undergone fumigation witli some
show of right claim the privilege of
attending school immediately. Pro
fessor Gordy explained that it is a
feature of such cases not covered by
the school law anil that it remained
for the School Board to decide wheth
er these pupils returning home be per
mitted to attend school immediately
after fumigation at the pareutnl resi
dence or that they be required to re
main out of school thirty days as the
other children of the household who
passed through the quarantine are re
quired to do by the school law.
Thero was a lougthy discussion on
the subject of diphtheria aud on the
provisious of the school law rclatiug
to it, which latter several of tho mem
bers unhesitatingly pronounced absurd,
although no one took the view that
the law iu the premisos should be
ignored.
Dr. Harpel regrettod that thero is
such au exaggerated idea of diphtheria
abroad iu the community. There is a
positive scaro, ho said, which is un
warranted by tho real conditions. Tho
recent article iu the News on tho sub
ject by tho Board aud
Dr. Harpel askeil that the same lino of
writing be pursuod to theond that tho
public bo reassured.
Dr. HariKsl moved that in cases such
as above quoted, pupils temporarily
absent from their homes and returning
immediately after fumigation bo per
mitted to attend school at once. The
motion being duly secouded was put j
to a vote aud lost.
Ou motion of Mr. Fischer it was
ordered tlmt Miss Lowry's school iu
the Third Ward bo closed this fore
noon and that tho room bo fumigated
as a precaution owing to tho fact that
a case of diphtheria has brokeu out
among the pupils. Tho disease de
veloped last Friday, although tno fact
was not reported to the teacher until
yesterday.
Tho truant officer presented his re
port as follows: Pupils sick, 65; trn
auts, 10; those without suitable cliotli
iug, 12; notices sout out, 8.
Mr. Pursel reported the loss of a tree
at the Second Ward School Building,
which wan brokeu off by a runaway
toam. The tree was about 4 inches in
diutneter aud was growing nicely at a
spot whore it was always very difficult
to get a tree to grow. It was tho souse
of the School Board that the owner of
the team, which it was alleged had
been loft uutied, should be held re
sponsible for the loss aud be made to
pay for the tree. Mr. Pursel was re
quested to bring tho mutter to tho
owner's attention.
On motion of Mr. Heiss it was ord
ered that an electric light be placed in
the hall way of the Third Ward School
Building, provided that the Light
Company agrees that, the account shall
rim only during the school term.
Treasurer Schram presented a state
ment of finances to date, which show
