Deafness Cannot To Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedics, Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in-
flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam-
mation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cages out of ten
are caused by eatarrh, which isnothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous surface.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS,
Canal Treaty Ratified.
iifications of the Hay-Paunce-
fote Treaty, giving England's assent to
the. construction of a canal across Cen-
tral America by the United States, were
exchanged at the State Department.
There was little ceremony about the
affair, though this was an act that
rounded out and completed negotiations
that have geen in progress intermit-
ently for many years, and which are
regarded as of the first order of import-
ince. Lord Pauncefote was accompan-
ied bv Mr. Raikes, his first secretary of
the Embassy, while Sidney Smith, Chicf
of the Diplomatic Bureau, was Secere-
lary Hay's attendant. Copies of the
ireaty had been prepared precisely sim
(lar except in the fact that the signa-
‘ures were inverted in one copy. and
these were formally exchanged hetween
Lord Pauncefote and Secretary Hay, a
rotocol being signed formally attest-
ing that fact, which will form part of the
records,
No affirmative action is refjuired un-
der the treaty; it is simply declaratory
f the powers and rights rccorded to
the United States in connection with
the construction of an isthmian canal,
ind it does not distinguish as between
any of the projected routes for the
vaterway-—it is quite as applicable to
Panama as to Nicaragua or to Darien.
Final
Fist Fight in the Senate,
In the United States Senate Saturday
afternoon occurred one of the most sen-
sational physical encounters ever wit-
nessed in that body.
Senator B. R. Tillman, of South Car-
olina, was proceeding with his speech
against the Philippe tariff bill, when
Senator John C. Spogner, of Wiscon-
sin, interrupted to ask how a two-thirds

majority of the Senate had been ob-
tained to ratify the Paris treaty of
peace.
Mr. Tillman finally intimated that one
Senator—referring to his colleague, Mr.
McLaurin—had been won over by prom-
1ses of patronage in South Carolina.
Mr. McLaurin, who was absent from the
chamber at this time, returned and,
speaking in his own defense, denounced
Mr. Tillman's statement as “a malicious
lie” Tillman immediately rushed to-
ward McLaurin and struck him on the
forehead. The two clinched and finally
were separated.
I'he Senate adjudged both of them
guilty of contempt, and, after cach had
apologized, the incident was referred to
he Committee on Privileges and Llec-
ions.
Free Delivery Coutracts.
The proposed change of the rural free
delivery system from the salary to the
contract basis was today embodied in
a special bill ordered reported by the
House Committee on Postoffices and
Post Roads.
This is interded to take the place of
a similar provision in the Postoffice Ap-
propriation bill, which is considered in-
consistent with the rules. The special
bill follows the form of the clause in the
appropriation bill and in addition pro-
hibits the sub-letting of rural delivery
routes, or the taking of more thai ong
route by one person.
Transfer of Danish Isles.
It has been practically decided thab
the formal ceremonies of taking over thé
Danish West Indies by the United States
shall be performed by the army, and it
is probable that a detachment of troops
from Porto Rico wili be sent to the
islands soon after the exchange of rati-
fications of the treaty to raise the flag
and formally take possession of the new
territory..
While not definitely determined, it is
stated here that the islands wili be
placed, with Porto Rico, under ths con-
trol of Governor Hunt.
Each Has Route Preference.
Dr. Francis C. Bransford. of the navy,
who has accompanied a number of naval
expeditions to Central America, and
Prof. W. H. R. Burr, of the Isthmian
Canal Commission, testified before the
Senate Committee on Interoceanic Can-
als. ?
Dr. Bransford said that in the mat-
ter of healthfulness the Nicaragua route
is incomparably superior to the Panama
route. Professor Burr spoke as a civil
engineer, saying that from his point of
view the advantages are with the Pan-
ama line. He said he is firmly convinced
of the wisdom of accepting the offer of
the Panama Company to sell its prop-
erty and franchises fcr $40,000,000.
Favor Statehood for Territories.
The House Committee on Territories
unanimously voted to report blls for
the admission of the Territories of New
Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma. The
voté was taken upon a motion made hy
Mr. Moon, of Tennessee, declaring it
to be the sense of the committee that
the three Territories are entitled tc
statehood and thet subcommittees he
appointed to prepare the bills. The sul
committees were appointed.
Secretary Long Will Retire.
After a Cabinet meeting, Secretary
John D. Long stated that the report that
he intended leaving the Cabinet, as Sec-
retary of the Navy, is quite true.
He said he had fixed en no specific
date for his retirement and he had not
vet formally sent his resignation to the
President, and might not do so for some
time. The President, however, is fully
aware of his purpose, which was formed
many months ago.
Satisfied as to Manchuriz.
The United States government is now
said to be perfectly satisfied as to the
correctness of Russia's incentions re-
pecting Manchuria.
The pledges heretofore obtained from
Russia have been renewed and rein-
forced so strongly, it is stated, that they
must be accepted as satisfactory, unless
our government is prepared to deliber-
ately question Russia's integrity, which,
it is said, it has not the least disposition
to do.
Capital News in Geaeral
The conferees of the two houses oi
Congress have reached an agreement
as to a permanent census bureau.
The President has dismissed Arthur
B. Noyes, judge of the Second District
of Alaska.
The troops in the Philippines will be
reduced to 32,000.
The United States Government has
proposed to the powers in the Chines
treaty that there be a pro rata reduction
of claims. so as to maintain the total

full amount of indemnity previously
agreed upon for the Boxer outrages,

dommereiar, REVIEW,
cneral Trade Conditions,
R. G. Pun & Cos weekly review of
trade says:
CYAN the Atlantic coast business con-
tmues tqmporarily checked Ly the storm,
and somé interior points are suffering
from unfavgrabld weather, but consump-
tive demands give no evidence of abate-
ment. Prices of perishable goods ad-
vanced sharply, and the whole range of
staple commodities tended upward.
“Jobbing trade in spring Enes of wear-
ing apparel is of ample proportions, and
all heavy hardware and products of iron
feel the pressure in that industry.
“Prices of pig iron have made decided
advances, despite the opposition of lead-
ing interests. Railway supplies and
structural material are still the most
cagerly sought of finished steel prod-
acts. Cotten added a small fraction to
its price and ruled quiet during the week
at the highest position of the crop year.
“Liabilities of the commercial failures

gated $0,007,881, of which $3.404,627 were
in manufacturing, $2,802,142 in trading,
and $401,112 in other commercial lines.

PRIMATE OF ALL ENGLAND
Some Storics of the Present Archbishop
of Canterbury.
Many are the stories of the courage
and wit shown by the present arch-
bishop of Canterbury, Dr. Temple, in
combating the attacks of the extreme
high churchmen which followed the
publication of his “Hssays and Re-
views.” When he was nominated as
bishop of Exeter, a writer in one of
the Devon papers gave expression to
the view that “the Tories disliked Dr.
Temple's politics, and pretended that
it was his religion they objected to.”
Mr. Gladstone and the queen were un-
moved, Protests against the conse-
cration were gent in by the bishops
of Gloucester, Hereford, Lichfield and |
Lincoln. When the ceremony had been
duly performed, in spite of the vehe-
ment opposition of high churchmen
and Tories in all parts of the country,
one church newspaper said in an edi-
torial jeremiad: “And so, on that
darkest day in the whole year, was per-
petrated the darkest crime ever com-
mitted in the English church!” Such
& sentence as this shows to. what a
height the animosity had run. Dr.
Benson, the most intimate of all Tem-
ple’s friends, thus described his bear-
ing during that memorable incident in
Westminster Abbey: "Dear Temple's
face was white as ashes, and his jet-
black hair and whiskers and the white
and black of his robes made him look
in his stillness a sad plight for a
friend's eye to rest upon. His healthy
bronze was quite gone, but he looked
a true man.” Dr. Temple's temperance
agitation exposed him tg criticism
from another source. He enjoys tell-
ing this story: In the west of England
he one afternoon spoke at an agricul-
tural society’s meeting—a kind of oc-
casion at which he was eminently at
home from his knowledge of farming.
But he could not miss the opportunity
of giving some temperance hints and
advice. He remarked, with his accus-
tomed grim humor, that “he himself
bad never been drunk-in his life.”
On his way home he heard the boys
in the street with the papers shout-
ing ‘Remarkable statement of the
bishop of Exeter.” The headline was
certainly a startling cne. The bishop
with some curiosity opened the paper
to see what he had said, and found
his phrase used as a special heading:
“Never been drunk in his life!”—Wil-
Ham Durban in London Outlook.
SYSTEM IS STILL YOUNG.
Electrle Lights Were First Seen a4 the
Centennial Exposition,
The electric light is new and yet is
so old that perhaps we do not appre-
ciate its marvelous achievement. If
we will but recall the conditions be-
fore it came we shall see what a won-
derful advance it has been in the field
of applied science. Its use in theaters,
in stores, in show windows, in street
illuminations, in private as well as in
public, its application for lighting in
all sorts of out-of-the-way corners, its
divisibility into various degrees of
power, its absolute safety so long as
the wires are properly guarded, its per-
fect sanitary qualities, the practical
absence of heat and the entire absence
of odor are things that make one feel
that in the way of lighting we have
come perhaps to the last discovery. Yet
this light was shown in this country
for the first time at the centennial ex-
hibition—twenty-five years ago. And
it is needless to say that those who
saw it were skeptical of its practical
use. Arc lighting was produced on a
commercial basis in 1877, but the real
beginning of electric lighting .in “its
modern aspects was with the opening
of the Pearl street station of New York
by Edison in September, 1882, where
the Edison incandescent lamp was
used. In the nineteen years since then,
according to a careful tabulation made
by the Electrical Review, the invest-
ment in electric lighting plants in this
country alone has reached the sum cof
$700,000,000. This wonderful industry
has been established in this short time
and we must now remember in the face
of the organized and long-established
competition of gas illumination, a pow-
erful and rich interest which until the
adoption of electric light occupied the
whole field for the best kind of light-
ing.—Indianapalis News.
To Serve an Oyster Cocktall,
Charles Ranhofer, the celebrated
chef of Delmonico’s, declared until the
last days of his life that there was
nothing, absolutely nothing, new in
the culinary art; that no new dishes,
had been inventéd in fifty years; that
the so-called new dishes were only old
ones revived. Although the oyster
cocktail was introduced in the chop
houses of New York about two years
before Mr. Ranhofer’s death he never
included it in his list of dishes, and
as his book was published before oys-
ters were served in this way, he does
not mention the cocktail. Really, it is
only the fact of serving the oysters in
a glass which gives the name to a cer-
tain way of seasoning raw oysters
known for years among oyster deal-
ers along the Chesapeake shore and
even at the stalls in the New York
oyster market. This is the way to
prepare an oyster cocktail: Put seven
medium-gized, freshly opened oysters
in a tall, slender glass. Mix in a bowl
three teaspoonfuls of tomato catsup, a
i teaspoonful of horse radish in white
vinegar, four dashes of Tobasco sauce,
a tablespoonful of Worcestershire
sauce and a saltspoonful of salt. When
those ingredients are well stirred to-
gether pour the mixture in the glass
over the oysters and serve.—New York
Press.

fle Hind a “Meter Feater’
“This,” said a trampy-looking
vidual, “is what I call a meter-heater. It
is an ordinary magnetic coil with a
screw base to fasten to an electric light
socket, thus.”
So saying he adjusted it deftly in place
on an electric lamp and looked around
for further encoragement.
“You now bring the coil into the mag-
netic field of the meter, thus,” and he
held it about three inches from the place
where the hands go around; “and you
will observe that the hands of the meter
turn backward each time in their flight.”
That is just what they were doing,
and they were buzzing at a tremendous
speed at that.
“When I began on your meter,” said
the clectrical tramp, “you were in debt
to the company for about $16. Inside of
five minutes the company will be owing
you money. Price two-fifty. No? Some-
what surprised at you. I have been in
twenty places today and this is the first
one where I haven't made a sale.”
Between Whiff,
A philosopher is a man without feel-
ings and without regard for the feelings
of others.
An idealist is like a baby crying for
the moon, but it is noticed that a large,
round biscuit is generally an acceptable
substitute.
A maker of epigrams is one who sceks
to clothe the wit of others in his own
language. The result is sometimes called
original.
Beware of the man who prides-himself
on his tact and of the woman who says
she is logical. The former is dishonest
and the latter never employs logic for
any good end.
A cynic is a man without ambition,
since he sneers at things as they are
without helping to.make them as they
should De.
A cynic is usually a man whose wife
is a pessimist and whose best friend is
an optimist.
Geniuses are absent-minded, whereas
common people are. merely careless.

friend a poor cigar.—Smart Set.

“Huh!” grumbled Mr. Skinner, who |
