cATARRH. Catarrhal Deafness---Hay Fever.


 Sufferers are not generally aware that these diseases are contagious, or that they are due to the presence of living parasites in the lining membrane of the nose and eu- stachian tubes. Microscopic research, how- ever, has proved this to be fact, and the result of this discovery is that simple remedy has been formulated whereby ca tarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are permanently cured in from one to three simple applications made at home by the patient once in two weeks. se s N.

ONE sTUB.ORN JUROR.

The CrOnin Jury Ssill atands Eleven te
 ono In Favor of conviction of all ths
 Defendants.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Another day of de- liberation has passed without bringing any verdict from the Cronin jury. At $40 this afternoon Judge Mcconnell left the court- room, stating that he would again be on hand to receive any return the jury might have to make at ten o'clock tomorrow morn- ing. The only instructions he gave were that, in case the jury succeeded in arriving At a verdict during the night, tho bailiH might then conduct them to the hotel but that the verdict would not be received by tho court until to-morrow morning.
 The jury stands just where it was on the first ballot on Friday night, 5o hours since, Il to 1 in favor of conviction of all the de- fendants. The calcitrant juror, John Cul- yer who would not have . word to say to his associates yesterday ,unbendedf far enough to-day to diacuss some portions of the evi- dence, but no ballot was taken. Groupes of people hung around the three sides of the criminal court building thronghout the day and evening and indulged in some strong talking concerning Culver, threats of lynch ing in case he hung the jury being freely made. State's Attorney Longenecker and his associates were stin hopeful of faverA- ble verdict.
 | Judge Mcconnell stated to-day that, whil, he had no communication with the jury ani they had asked for no special instruction since retirement he believed that verdic would be ultimately reached.

A CITY OF THE DEAD.

Erection Of Receiving Vault at Ever
 green CemeterY-The Building Com.
 pleted-The Roadway Nearly Com-
 plcted-Erectlon or an Elegant Mon-
 ument so she Lase John '. Matthias.
 Another beautiful monument has just been erected in that beautiful city of the dead, Evergreen cemetery. It is an elegant Gothic saroorhagus of shapely proportions and chaste and beautiful design throughout. The mon ument is of handsome light grey granite and in proportions about q follows: Height about seven feet, length nearly nins feet, and breadth about five feet. Upon the massive bottom base rests @ base, heavily molded, and bearing on one side in raised and pol ished letters the nams 'Trowbridge," and on the opposite side the name "Matthias. l" Surmounting this ii richly polished die which bears in polished raised letters the following inscription:
 nor Jonn ,5 5aryis 1sds 4tshias bssa asv 7 ass
 Numbered with Thy Saints in Glory Everlasting
 On the other side is 6 polished raised band. The die is surmounted by a very massive carved Gothic cap in the shape of a cross, which is ornamented by Gothic tra- cery and with the Christian emblems on the face angles, P x, I Fl S, Alpha and Omega, and others. The monument stands on Cen- trAl avenue. It was erected in position . few days ago by Thomas Phillips 6 Son, by whom it was designed and executed. It is Q very beautiful addition to the cemetery and ftly commentaries the worth, virtues and Christian character of the deceased, who for many years was active in Christian work at the First M. E. church, where he was for years Sunday school superintendent, organist and leader of the choir, and where he organ ized the first boy choir in New Haven, later having originated and conducted the boy choir at the Church of the Ascension. He was also an active leader in our local choral societies of note and g member of leading shipping firm.
 A special and valuable improvement at Evergreen cemetery has just been completed by the Evergreen Cemetery association. It is the erection of receiving vault. It meets a long needed want, which is now supplied, the funds of the association permitting and warranting the expenditure. It Is of brick and stands in the extreme western side of the grounds on the grassy slope or bank di- rectly facing the West river expanse of meadows. It Is for the temporary reception of bodies in cases where the final disposition of the remains is undecided, or pending the purchase of lot in the cemetery. It con- tains 8 series of catacombs somewhat similar to those in the Ransom vault in the cemetery. The building is of East Haven stone. The catacombs are slated recesses or oompart- ments, twelve in number. The interior walls are slated. A roadway has been made to the vault and is now being graded. The grading will be completed in few days.

A POETS DEATH.

 ly Nut Suddenly.
 VENICE, Dec. 15.-The expressions of grief and sympathy called forth by the death of Robert Browning recall the similar OK pressions on the death of Wagner. Brown ing refused to.the last to believe that he was seriously i'll. Every day, whatever the weather, he went in an open gondola to Lido.
 He was taken i'll on November 27, but in- sisted on going to the theater against the advice of friends. During the night he was seized with serious attack of bronchitis. The disease dragged on until his heart be- came affected, but he constantly repeated that he was getting better. On Thursday last, the day of his death, he de- clared that he would get up on the following day. His family did not suppose that the end was so near. At seven in the evening he became very weak and had great difficulty in breathing. Shortly before he died he turned to his son and asked for news from his publisher. The son read 8 telegram saying that the edition of his last volume of poems was almost exhausted. The poet, upon hearing this, smiled and mur- mured ''how gratifying" These were his last words. The funeral service was held to- day in the Palazzo Rezzanice.
