DEAFNESS CAN'T BE 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 con stitutionai remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed condition of the mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets iR- famed you have a rumbiing sound or imper- feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafnaRs Is the result and unless the fnfiam- nation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever; Rine cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but ar in- famed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case Of Deafness (caused by catarThl that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars free.

to keep these worthy but unfortunate peo-
pie supplied with the necessaries of life
but have no funds at their disposal to be
expended for the purpose of eladdening
the hearts of the little children at Christ
mas time. With stores heavily stocked
with toys of all descriptions and holiday
delicacies, it does seem ss if something
could be done, even at this late day, to let
little sunlight and happiness into the dis
nal homes of the suffering poor.
OF the 1873 persons assisted by the Howard
Society this month, los are children. 1t
would require but small sum of money
with which to purchase toys enough to
provide each of these poor children with
the Christmas gifts for which their childish
hearts are longing.
President Dale, of the Howard Associa.
ton, may be found at the distributing
rooms, on the northeast corner of Seventh
and L streets, at all times, where charita-
bly-inclined citizens may leave such dona-
tons of money as they can spare to be ex-
pended for poor children. Contributions of
delicacies in the way of candies, cakes,
etc., will also be acceptable. Clothing and
shoes are always timely. Donations may
also be left with the Treasurer, A. Abbott.
One kind-hearted citizen yesterday left
$40 with Mr.. Dale with which to purchase
good things for the children. Let others
send in money, toys, or whatever they can,
so that the poor children of the city may
have one bright day in the year.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Emma Abbott English Grand Opera
Company will sing Verdi's brilliant opera
"Ernani" at the Metropolitan Theatre Sat-
urday night. The company is the strong
est Miss Abbott has ever brought to the
coast, and the largest. She has never
brought weak one here, nor has she ever
played an unsuccessful season in California.
She is, indeed, the most successful operatic
manager in the country. Miss Abbott is
this season, all agree, surprising all her
previous musical and dramatic efforts.
Her support is the best she has ever mad.
arse English opera has never been so
richly presented on this coast as is done
by her company this season. Her present.
alton of "Ernsni" has been regarded as
the best effort of her troupe. There are in
its repertoire more snowy operas, but
none the combination sings better. An
exchange says:
abbott opera this year is quite out of
the usual course of English opera, of larger
proportions and real magnificence of stag
ing. At the close of last season Manager
Pratt determined to prepare and put on the
present season the grandest and most richly
caparisoned opera the country has seen since
the DAYS of the refulgent but disastrous
American Grand Opera, and he has kept his
word. All the operas are dressed and COS.
tuned with a beauty that is imposing

CHRISTMAS CHEER.
Something of Which the Children of the
Poor Know Very Little.

Something of Which the Children of the
Poor Know Very Little.
1t is never too late to do an act of
charity, and although Christmas Day, with
its good cheer, is almost upon US, there is
yet time in which to do something for the
children of the poor of the city-little ones
who have no fre-places in which to hang
their tattered stockings, and who have
seldom, if ever, been the recipients of the
bounty of Santa Claus.
The we'll TODD people of this city must
understand that there are many such
children in their midst, and when purchas-
ing loads of toys and other good things for
their own well-fed and well-clothed dar-
lings, they should give thought to these
destitute little ones.
A RECORD UNION reporter last night
looked over the list of names of the poor
women and children whom the Howard
Benevolent Association has assisted during
the present month, and even that plain tabu-
lated document, tells an eloquent and
pitiful story of want. Nearly all the
names of assisted persons are those of
women-only few aged and invalid men
are among the recipients of food and cloth
ing.
One case is that of poor widow with
eight children; others have seven, others
| six, and many are struggling along with
| from one to five little ones whom they are
trying to keep together.
| Many women with large families are
themselves invalids, and some have invaiil
husbands.
The Howards are doing the best they car
