My DEAR Dr.. LIGHTHIIL:
1t gives me great pleasure to state
that you effected remarkable cure of
deafness and discharge from the ears in
the case Of my cousin, Marcus G..
Roessle, and that the cure has proved as
permanent as 1t was radical. l feel sure
that without your sldllful aid my cousin
would have been a deaf man all his
life. Knowing of other cases In which
you have been equally successful, 1
cheerfully give you leave to refer to me
at any time. and hope that your prac-
tice in Washington will prove distin-
guished success.
Yours, truly, T. E. RoEssLE.

In this she is not alone. Ladies in the
highest circles Of society give her ooun-
tenanco In this matter. The Church is
influential with women, but there Is q
limit to its influence. When willful
woman wills, she wills, and when so
cieiy woman decides TO change her
marital relations and society sustains
her, the Church is powerless.

IT Is not only bad taste but reckless
and Infamous information which leads
any newspaper into saying that the Pan.
American Southern tour was abandoned
by reason of an intention to discriminate
against the South. Secretary Blaine
had everything to gain and nothing
TO lose by arranging for and accom-.
plishing the Southern trip. His direst
foe will not venture to assert that Mr..
Blaine has not exercised his great
Office in the interest of the whole coun-
try. II was mistake not to have in
cluded few salient Southern points in
the first trip. But Mr.. Blaine had more
generous views for the South Unfor-
tunately they have fallen through.

IN THE MOUNTAINS HEART.
A Glorious Picture ofn Trip Through
the Alleghaaies.


Twilight on the grade Is grand. The
mount tain SUBMITS look like the bushy
tops of trees. The sun has disappeared
in ball of fire at his jumping of
place." but the vivid lighting of the
western sky by the still upturnsd illu-
mining face below the horizon is in
marked contrast to the gathering shades
behind the rushing train. From shelf
to ehclf, from crag to crag, from brink
to brink, we almost fly. Like flashing
transformation, rendering almost past
belief the fact that the scene is in the
midst of the Alleghaniss, comes bit OF
landscape gardening with all the beau
ties of walks and hedges and bright
hued flowers, a mountain brooklet
tumbling through the centre-Buckhorn
Wall, the NEST noted and most admir-
ed view that can be had from any
known point in the Allegheny range.
To enable the road to span the trem-
endous gorges, a massive wall of cut
stone was erected for a distance of
several hundred feet, and more than a
hundred feet above the foundation
rock. AS The river makes an abrupt
turn at right angles, q deep canyon is
opened up for miles. Range after
range of mountains disappear behind
each other. The shadowY outlines OF
single peaks steal out through the haze.

and she spends good deal OF time in

never appears to be despondent nor
melancholy, but on the contrary Is
very bright and lively at all times. She
does not seem to remember that she
will have to suffer term Of imprison-
ment in tho peuitentiary, if she il
proved to be sane. This argues that
the woman Is ofunsouud mind, and the
hundreds ofiittls incidents that have
come before the eye of her keeper, since
she was lrst arrested all tend to prove
that the general belief that she is de-
mentsd is correct. Her quarters in
the jail were very comfortable, and
everything was done by the jaller to
make hcr satisfied, but it was thought
best to remove her TO separate build
