Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, ns thev can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, aud that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness s caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tubo is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out auci this tube restor
ed to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever ; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing hut au intlamod condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catirrh Cure. Seud for circulars,free.

Following closely upon the goin;;
into effect of the new Federal eight
hour law iu regard to railroad tele
grapher*, the Philadelphia and Head
ing Railway company has commenced
installing telephones iu many of its
luiuor offices, thus doing away with
the necessity of employing two tele
graphers where one was employed be
fore. For the first place where this
experiment Will he tried, the Cata
witsa branch, that torturous snake
like road, which rnus between West
Milton and Fast Mahauoy junction, a
point five miles this side of Tainaqua
where it rejoins the Shamokiu divis
ion of the Reading system.
Telephones, to be operated by a pri
vate branch exchange, are now being
installed at Qaakake These will
obviate the necessity of employing
three operators there and three at
Tamauetid. It is understood that tele
phones will also be installed at Lofty.
At all points along the line, wirli
the exception of Danville, Oatawissa,
Bloouisburg and West Miltou.it is the
intention of the company to do away
with the telegraph offices,and iustead,
place telephones iu the offices. These
may be used bv the trainmen, and it
will thus obviate the necessity of a
telegraph operator.

FOUNDATION FIN
ISHED YESTERDAY
Whatever may be said of the new
electric light uuit to be installed at
the water works it must be admitted
that the foundation on which it is to
rest is uo commonplace affair. This
important branch of the work, which
was begun immediately after New
Year's was not completed until yester
(iay. Everything is now iu readiness
for installing the engine and dynamo,
when these arrive.
An enormous amount of work was
involved in the foundation and the
cost of the'latter, alone, will exceed a
thousand dollars. In excavating con
siderably JJover two hundred cubic
yards of earth weia displaced. This
enormous cavity, 17 % feet deep, had
to bo filled with grouting aud con
crete, a slow and laborious process, in
which heavy iron rods for holding the
engine and dynamo had to be inserted
at exact points as the wo/k advanced.

Degrees of False Pretense.
j A man in Wilkes-Burre who obtain-
I e<! ten cents from another on false pre
teuce was sent to jail for ten da"s.
No doubt the fellow deserved the sent
ence; no doubt the punishment fits the
crime. Theie are many men who get
money from their fellows under false
pretence,but the amounts are so small
that nobody cares to prosecute. Why,
the thiug has gone to such an extra
ordinary extreme that fellows preteud
that they want a dime) for whiskey,
and when tho sympathetic stranger
hands out the money to relieve his
distress trio false recipient goes off
and squanders the money for food. On
the other hand there is a class ol pro
fessional mendicauts who ask for mon
ey to buy food but are guilty of false
pretence every hour th°y ply their
trade, aud of something worse eve-y
time they curse a non-contributor
If all persons who are gnilty of ol>-
taining money nuder false pretence
were punished in proportion to the
punishment of the Wi lkes-Barre pre
tender what would hapjien to the body
politio? There is a sea of conjecture
in which the most adventurous will
snrely be lost. What would become of
manv promoters? of the speculators in
this and that? of the sellers of mis
branded and adulterated food pro
ducts? of the corporations that preteud
that they need the protections of high
tariffs? aud, finally, of governments
themselves, provided that the heads of
governments conld he prosecuted aud
imprisoned as it is domauded that the
heads of offending corporations be
dealt with? It imprisonment were the
universal and inevitable pnnishment
for false pretence tho prisons would in
course of time become so full that the
support of prisoners would be the
greatest fixe.l expenditure of all gov
ernments that might bo left to govern.
That seems logical enough until one
sees that it leads to something similar
to the question whether it is ten thou
sand times more criminal for a hun
dred million people to kill ten thou
sand than for au Individual to kill one
man.

PENNSY'S VICTORY
IS A BARREN ONE
The Pennsylvania railroad's victory
ill the State supreme court iu its at
tack ou the two-oeut fare law iH like
ly to prove a barren oue, HO far as any
appreciable iucrea.se iu its passenger
revenues in concerned The fact that
the act was not declared unconstitu
tional and the concensus of opinion
among leg*l lights being that the de
cision applies ouly to the Pennsyl
vania, haves the other roads iu the
State practically iu the same position,
so fur as the rate question is concern
ed, as they were before the decision
was handed down.
These road", pending some further
action and review by the supreme
court, are not likelv from present in
dication to make any change iu their
presseut passenger fares, which are
based on the two cent rate. It will
therefore he unlikely that the Peuusyl
vitnia will go hack to the rates, iu ef
fect before the law became operative
ou October 1, except, possibly, to non
competitive points. To do so would
mean even heavier inroads on its pass
enger receipts than any that would be
likel v to be made under the operations
of the law. It may be that the com
piny may be content to rest upon its
supreme court victory without any at
tempt to gather any of the fruits of
that victory by raisiug the present
rates.
Iu fact, some months before such a
thing as a two ceut rate law was ev
er thought of, prominent; passenger
officials of the company discussed pro
priety of voluntarily reducing pass
enger rates of a two cent basis,the op
inion then prevailing being that, with
the deusity of travel ou the Pennsyl
vania lines iu general, this could be
done without auy inroad to passenger
revenue and that passenger traffic
might be stimulated thereby and the
revenues thus materially increased.
Except in an informal way the mat
ter, it.was stated, was not discussed
at Tuesday's meeting of the Pennsyl
vania's directors, President McOrea
announcing that tiie lawyers still are

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that I)r. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to holu water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
You may have a sample bottle and a
book that tells all 11
about it, both sent free
