its power over all affections of the throat
and lungs. bronchitis, asthma, catarrh and
even consumption, which is lung scrofnla,
to the simple fact that it purifes and en-
riches the blood and invigorates the debili-

Portrait of Davy Crockett.

In the studio of Mr. W. H. Huddle, the
distinguished artist of this city, is to be
striking portrait of Davy Crockett, one Of
the immortal heroes who persisted at the
Alamo. Mr.. Huddle has been engaged on
this work for several years, and it is now
nearly completed. AS correct likeness of
Col. Crockett and as work of art, Mr..
Huddle has every reason to be proud of his
labors. The portrait represents Crockett in
his buckskin hunting suit, with his trusty
rifle in one hand and his coonskin cap in
the other. In this connection it may not
be amiss to say that the buckskin suit was
painted from real life. Mr.. Huddle killed
the deers, hired an old Texan hunter to tan
into suit of clothes such as were worn by
the Texas pioneers.

A CURIOUS CASE
A Divorced Wife Asks and Obtains the An
nulment Of Decree Of Absolute Divorce.

A Divorced Wife Asks and Obtains the An
nulment Of Decree of Absolute Divorce.
New York, August 13.-The decree of
absolute divorce recently granted to Mary
Il. Flack from her husband, John A. Flack,
sheriff of this county, was to-day, on her
petition, annulled and all proceedings had
before the referee were set aside. An order
to this effect was granted by Judge Book
staver in the court of common pleas, on the
divorced woman's petition. In her affi-
davit she said that she had never applied
for a divorce, and first learned Of the
granting of the decree from q newspaper
her lawyer in the divorce proceed
ings, came to court to-day, represented
by ex-Judge Van Worst, and his affidavit
which was read, offered no opposition to
the motion to dismiss the decree. His
sworn statement was in effect that he had
been induced to consent to Mrs. Blacks
petition by Joseph Meeks, an old friend,
who presented Kim with an authorization
so to act signed by Lawyer Ambrose Nor
rell, counsel to the husband. He had,
however, never been informed of the APP
pointment of Meeks or any other person as
referee in action, and was in entire ignor-
ance of the granting of decree of divorce
until he was made aware Oft by newspa-
per reports.
In annulling the decree Judge Bookstaver,
the same who granted it, said that develop
ments disclosed most remarkable affair.
His decision was made as soon us the argu-
ment was finished.
Ex-Judge Fullerton appeared in court
and made an effort to advance an argument
against the motion to annul the decree, but
the court refused to recognize his claims to
appear. Judgment of divorce was granted
against his client, and Judge Bookstaver
maintained that he could make no obiec-
ton to its reversal.

Obituaries and Tributes of Respect.

The following from the Waco Day is so
applicable to the situation in Austin we re-
produce it for the benefit of the STATES
MANS readers:
Some of the Days friends are evidently
not informed as to the rules of the paper in
regard to the publication of obituary motto
es. When death occurs in Waco the
Day makes mention of the fact. When it
does this, whether at length or briefly, it
performs its duty to the public as news
gatherer. If, after such publication on the
part of the paper, friends of the dead see
proper to prepare supplementary matter a
tribute to the memory or virtues of the de-
ceased, or as matter of solace to those
who mourn, and offer such supplementary
matter for publication, it ought to be paid
for at a reasonable price-and it may be
stated that the Day has always made its
charges for obituary notices very reasona-
ble-half the rate charged for other classes
of reading matter. This is written as a
matter of general information, and not in
connection with any special case. 1t is a
rule that the paper must, in self defense,
adhere to, and it is entirely reasonable.

A Pair OF Shoes.

Few of our readers pay little attention to
foot wear except as a necessary article of

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucus lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness Is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give 500 for any case of deafness
(caused by catarrh,) that we cannot cure by
taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir.
culars, free.
