Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way t > cuie deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi tion of the mucous lining of the Eustach ian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out ot ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mucous surfaces.

A bill to stop treating in any places where vinous, malt or spirituous liqu ors aio sold was . introduced iu the house this morning by Mr. Thomas.of Bucks. It provides that tho proprietor of any placo of this kind who allows treating shall be guilty of a misdeme anor aud shall be subject to a fine of SIOO aud imprisonment of sixty days. Tho act defiues "treating" thus: "To bo 'the practico of invitiug one or more persous to driuk any malt, vin ous or spirituous liquors as a compli ment or as a civility, often in return for the like favor shown." The old scheme to erect a new coun ty iu the upper part of tho State aud iwako Hazletou the seat thereof—it was once designed to do this and name the new couuty Quay county—came up again this morning Mr. Boyle, of Luzerne.presented a bill providing for the erection aud organization of new couuties out of parts of two adjoining counties. Mr. Flack, of Bucks, introduced a bill to provide that townships which have abolished the work tax shall get more money from the State. Under an act of April 12, 11)05, townships, by a majority vote of tho electors, can ab olish the work tax; any which do so are to receive annually from the State a sum equivalent to fifteen per cent, of the amount of road tax collected iu such towuships. Tho bill read by Mr. Flack this morning amends the second section of that act so that such town ships shall receivo fifty per cent, of the total collection. The house today passed finally these two bills, the first of the session : Enlarging tho powers of county com missiouers to erect county bridges aud empowering them to coustruct new bridges when existing ones are not sufficient, to accommodate traffic. Amending the act of March 20,1903, empowering cities to condemn laud tor certaiu purposes so that land may ho condemned for workhouses, poor houses aud garbage disposal plants.

Interrupted Engagements By NELLIE CRAVEY GILLMOR.E Copyright, 1008, by P. C. Eastment The outlook was distinctly unprom ising. One circumstance In partlculai gloomed Kendall's mind. Fool-like, ha had allowed himself to be drawn into a sort of halfway matrimonial scheme of his cousin Kitty and was even now hurrying along as fast as steam could carry him to the second fatal step toward Its consummation. The first had been taken when he driftod Into the correspondence with the girl, a correspondence which had quickly run through all t' e successive stages till now It stood upon a decidedly senti mental footing. Kendall occupied himself alternately by studying the flying landscape and the photograph of his latest Inamorata. She was good looking enough In all sense, but for some perverse reason of the hour he chose to resent her rich dark beauty with passionate defiance. Somehow auotlier face, sweeter than a flower, star eyed, framed In a cloud of misty goid hair, kept coming In be tween with maddening Insistence, bit ter memory of his disappointment wringing his heart as he had never thought it could be wrung again. An unwonted tear caught in his eye. He dashed It away In some rage at him self and thene v * instant was poring attentively over an inverted newspa per article. Preseutly came the first call for din ner, and Kendall rose with alacrity, making his way to the dining car ahead. Anything to give relief from his present gloomy thoughts. Every table hut one was occupied, and he took his seat gratefully, dashing off an elaborate order in an utterly preoccu pled fashion. Then he gave his atten tion to the dingy train of freight cars whining monotonously past and the shadowy chain of mountains, rearing themselves like solemn green cones In the distance. Presently a driving rain set In, adding, if possible, to his des perate frame of mind. . After awhile Kendall became con scious of some one taking the chair "HEItE AIIE THE COPIES OP ROME TELE GRAMS. HEAD TIIEM." opposite him, and he held his eyes stiflly averted, because he was also subtly cognizant of the fact that It was a tailor made young lady, with sunny curls and an exquisitely modu lated voice as she addressed the waiter. After several embarrassed moments permitted himself a surreptitious toward his vis-a-vls. Her face was averted* but there was no mistak ing the pi\ n k oval cheek, with its sweet, familiar curve; the golden mass of cobweb hair, the scarlet, tremulous lips. The girl turned swiftly under the spell of his eyes, a river of crimson running from throat to brow. But i suddenly she stiffened, and the color | forsook her face. | Kendall was looking at her very ear- I nestly, very pleadingly. The quarrel had been terribly bitter, but the after math was much more bitter. There had been only six months of that, and a lifetime stretched drab before them. "Marjorle!" lie leaned half across the table, his glance full of passionate appeal, lie seemed to have forgotten altogether that half a year ago they had parted for good and all, with the promise never to speak to one another again. The girl accepted his eyes for a sec ond. Then her lashes flickered and fell. Iler lips were held taut to fon ceal their trembling, and her breath was coming In little Jerks. But she j controlled herself quickly, and when j she looked up again her expression j was quite calm, whatever It may hare 1 indexed. "Personalities," she forced herself to ] say, "will have to be avoided, Dick. ) We settled all that long ago, did wo not?" Iler words had a final ring, and Ken dall felt himself going white under the stab of them. Could it be possible, after all past asseverations, that she had ceased to care so entirely? Surely she could never have suffered as he had done the past six months and sit facing him now with so cool a de men nor. He was on the point of speaking when the waiter reappeared. Marjorle welcomed his coming with GRAVEL CURED (Philadelphia, Penn.,ltem.) A healthier, heartier, happier man thnn John J. Neill, of 2137 North Bth St., Phila delphia, could not be found in a day's search. Tho fact that he is still alive? is a constant wonder to his friends. Several years ago he began to suffer in describable miseries from stone in the blad der. An eminent physician in Philadelphia told him that a surgical operation was nec essary. So much did ho dread the result, for if unsuccessful it meant death, that he put off the evil day as long as possible. While in this frame of mind, he heard of DR. DAVID KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY Although disheartened, he bought a bottle of it, and within a month had experienced beneficial results, and before he had finished i tho third bottle, the gravel was completely ' dissolved and his sufferings at an end. Mr. Neill feels that he owes a lasting debt of gratitude to Dr. Kennedy's Favorite | Remedy, made at Rondout, N. Y., and fordis orders of tho bladder and urinary orgaiiH. Ho savs: "it will effect a cure if one is possiblo." Favorite Remedy is prescribed with un failing success for rheumatism, dyspepsia constipation, and nerve troubles in which it lias cured many that were considered be yond the aid of medicine.

Sell control was fast jotting away from her. Slle raised a glass of water to her lips and drained It feverishly. Ken dall noted that her fingers were shak ing, and his heart gave a sudden throb. Perhaps, after all, her coldness was mere assumption. lie sought her glance eagerly, but It was frigidly withheld. After a trying silence Marjorle took up her knife and fork and tried vainly to eat. The food stuck In her throat. Kendall finished his dinner mechan ically. "Marjorle," he broke out abruptly, "don't, for heaven's sake, treat me tills way! C annot we be at least friendly» Will yon answer one question?" The girl lost color again, though she met his eyes openly, almost problngly. "Certainly," she said after a little. "Am I, then, utterly odious to you?" She winced, and her snowy chin lift ed itself Imperceptibly, but unmistak ably. "I hardly think the occasion or the circumstances warrant that," she an swered, the shadows deepening In her eyes. Kendall's heart gave a great lurcji. Had she heard? lie would be frank with her anyway. "If you mean the circumstances sur rounding our—disagreement," he said, "decidedly they do." She made no answer, but the hurt look in her eyes told him the truth, and ho hurried on eagerly: "Marjorle, will you listen to my side of It? Listen! I was desperate—crazy —when I thought I had lost you. I threw myself into anj'thing— every thing— all sorts of things—as a means of getting a little relief from the eat ing misery of it all. Before I knew It I found myself mixed up In this silly business. But I swear to you on my word as a man that there Is no ques tion of honor Involved. The whole thing, believe me, Is nine parts Jest. With a little it might be made serious, fcut, thank heaven, no fatal words have been spoken." "But she believes"— "Not at all. She has no right. She does not. I know it. Dear, you have always been good and wise and lib eral. Don't let this nonsensical thing eoino between us now. You will not?" Again he leaned toward her with pas sionate vehenienco, and his fingers eaught hers and held them hard, his tjcu burning into hers. When he finished speaking Marjorle wne looking into his face wistfully, al most sadly. *1 am sorry, Dick," she said, "but it )• all too late. I sail from New York Frldsy as companion to an invalid lady. My father lost everything, and | I accented the engagement last mootb. I It Is serious, you see." I Kendall smiled. "There are degrees I seriousness, Miss Dereforth, are fbefe not?" ' ftbe shook her head, still grave, but bis eyes only brightened. He had the felns now, and he Was resolved upon i the herdU course. | "Will you be good enough to give 1 me the lady's address?" he asked, i Wondering, Marjorle drew from her j bag a slip of paper and passed It over ! to him. j At the next station Kendall left the car for a few moments, and the girl | went back into her sleeper, where she sat waiting with vivid cheeks, a smile In her eyes and a swiftly beating heart In her bosom. Ten minutes later Kendall came In, flourishing three ominous yellow sheets of paper In his hand. He held them out to her. "Here are the copies of some tele grams," he said. "Head them."
