General Boulanger has "caught on'' IN
London. He is received in society and goes
about with the Prince of Wales. They say
the general will be elected now, because the
Eiffel tower has bred a feeling Of confidence
among the peasants in the stability of the

ought to build pyramid or two and then
the feeling OF confidence will be so strong
that he can be dictator II he wants to.

A MASONIC CONTROVERSY.

Pronounos ed CIandestine.
WASHINGTON CITY, July 29-The con.
troversy which has been general among the
Masonic fraternity throughout the country
respecting the Cerneau Scottish rite, has cul-
minated here in the issue of an edict by Har-
rison Dingman, most worshipful grand mas
ter of Masons Of the District of Columbia,
pronouncing the Cerneau organization clan
destine, and warning all members Of that
rite that they are liable TO discipline from
the grand lodge unless they at once with
draw from the Cerneau body.
French Mas ons Under the Ban.
The main reason for the edict, Mr.. Ding
man explains, aside from other questions
arising in the Scottish rite controversy, is
that the Cerneau organization has established
relations Of smity and Masonic correspond
pnce with the graz Id orient of France, the
governing body Of Masons in that country
which is under the ban of at least every
English speaking grand lodge in the world
because the grand orient has stricken the
name Of God from its rituals.
Our Own Particular Grievance.
The grand lodges of this country have an
additional grievance against the grand ORR
emit of France, because the latter persists in
recognizing tue negro grand lodges of the
United States. Grand Master Dngmani
edict directs that all visitors to lodges in the
District of Columbia shall be required e
state before admission that they are not mem
bers of the Cernee organization. The meet
ing of a Cerneau organization in any Mason
hall Is also Drohiblted

Another Howl.

There Is woe and much gnashing of
teeth among the republicans in the bali
wick Of Keiihsburg over the recommen-
dstIon of Lewis L. Mertz as postmaster
by Congressman Gest. There were a
number of applicants for the place, al
though the prevailing sentiment in the
community was in favor of the retention
of Miss Noble, the present postmisiress.
In this connection the Meas of that town
says:
The editor of the Times appears to be
very jubilant over the fact that Congress
man Gest has recommended a change of
postmasters in this city. OF course res
movsls is the cry of his party. They
have been wanting and waiting. and vot
ing for change for long time. They
carried republican torches and sang re-
publican songs for just such positions.
Mr.. L. L. Mertz will make an sccOmmo-
dating postmaster. but just why the Times
wanted Miss Noble removed is not APP
parent Miss Noble has held the Office
for number OF years and no person has
a complaint to make against her as post
master Four ffths of the patrons of
the office would sign remonstrance
against any change, but that would
amount 10 nothing with n greedy repub-
lican administration. The wishes of the
people are never consulted. II is only a
few individuals.

A Loophole for All Sin.

WASHINGTON City, July 27.-With refer
ence to the question whether Chinese enlisted
on board United States war vessels as serv-
ants, etc, can enter the United States,
Solicitor Hepburn has given an opinion that
these Chinese can be allowed to land and
discharged from the service. He holds that
Chinese enlisted servants on board a
United States war vessel are ssamsn and as
such cannot be construed as coming under
the common laborers or smigrants in the
meaning of the exclusion act Acting Sscre-
tary Batcheller, to whom the opinion has
been handed for action, will, in all probable
ity, approve it. He believes that natives OF
other countries enlisted on United States
war vessels are legally within the United
States the moment they go on board the ves-
sci, as the domain of this government extends
wherever the flag floats

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application, as they can not
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 inhaned con-
dition of the mucus lining of the Eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets infiamed
you have 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 10 its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catsrrh.
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucus surfaces.
