There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf amed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustsch-
ion tube. When this tuoe gets intiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the I'M
nammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be DESTROYED forever; nine
cases out of 10 are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi,
ton of the mucous surface.

CONTROVERSY ABOUT A SALE.

Goldstein's Store Closed by Attachment
Against r. Goetz.
Sergeant Traynham served an order
on julius Goldstein late yesterday even
ing, and compelled him to close his
store.
In the last several days large num-
Der of attachments have been taken
out by creditors of E. Goetz, who sold
out to Mr.. Goldstein, asking that the
latter be restrained from disposing of
the goods until their claims were set
tied. These papers accumulated at a
very rapid rate yesterday, and being
placed in the hands of the sergeant, the
store was closed yesterday evening
about S o'clock.
largo quantity of goods which had
been purchased by Goetz before the sale
was made was attached in the hands of
the railroad company.
1t seems that the creditors of GoetZ are
not satisfied with the transaction. and
on this ground such action was taken.
MIR. Goldstein said yesterday evening
that he would give bond this morning
and open his store at once. He is will
ling that test shall be made of the
transaction, and should it be shown
that everything was straight, he will
enter suit for damages against the
parties making complaint.

eral sprint records before leaving these
shores. Luther Cary won the
hundred from big field OF twenty
Of our very best sprinters. He is
a powerful, ugly, natural flyer,
and without any, .pre-ensions
to ordinary form (not bit like Myers),
simply smothered Basan and House, Sc
ward and all our cracks, and winning by
at least four yards in the final. On
fine day 10 seconds would certainly have
been recorded. Cary, about
whose times we have heard good deal
lately, accomplished performance
which fully justifes us in supposing
him, on a fair day and with good path
to be at least equal to running 100 yards
in level time. AS we have already said
in these columns, his style is not so
graceful as his figure, but, with a tear
away sort of stride, he gets over the
ground rapidly, and that is everything
to one who wishes to take high honors
as sprinter. In the final, it goes with
out saying that Cary had to spin at top
speed, but, though having the softest
part OF the track to run on, he beat his
nearest rival, House, by three yards,
and covered the distance in 1O14 Sec
onds. Basan, who having met Gary
before, must have been persuaded that
he could not live at the American 8
pace, made great effort to keep with
him in the second heat of the sprint,
and seemed to be greatly amused to find
that it was all in vain. We trust that
southerners will have an opportunity of
seeing this exceptional sprinter under
favorable circumstances.

To Preserxe Fabrics.

German ingenuity is stated to have re-
sorted to method-revived from the
most ancient past-of rendering fabrics
proof against the ravages of decay for
an indefinite period, process by which
it is said, no matter how delicate the
texture OF color of the fabric may be, its
long life is assured. It appears that the
inventor in this case, a German chemist,
based his experiments on the commonly
known fact that the wonderful preserva-
ition characterizing the headbands Of
Egyptian mummies is attributed to their
having been impregnated with kind Of
resin. Acting upon this assumption, ex.
periments were made with the substance
extracted from birch bark, with the re.
suit that the green tar left after the oil
used in tanning has been extracted from
the white bark of the birch tree yields a
substance neither acid nor alkaloid; and
this, in solution with alcohol, forms a
liquid with power Of resisting. after
once becoming dry, even the action of
alcohol itself, and is alleged to possess
the property-so long desideratum-of
rendering textile fabrics apparently i'm
perishable, as far as decay is concerned,
a peculiarly valuable property being also
claimed for it, namely, ready union
with the most delicate as well as brilliant
colors. New York Sun.

It's Her Way, Bless Her,

It was an up town surface car, and
three women carrying small parcels
boarded it,
After disposing of their bundles and
themselves on the seats, two Of them
started desperately at work to open the
pocketbooks that they carried in their
hands. Neither succeeded to any ex-
tent, and the red haired conductor wait
ed and winked at a cross eyed passenger
in order to note for future reference how
q cross eyed man winks.
Meanwhile each of the women had
grasped the others arm and exclaimed:
Don't, dear, I have change" The
third woman said nothing, and the con-
ductor paused in front of the trio for his
fare.
"Don't you dare to pay the fare!" said
one of the women.
'sAnd don't your was the reply.
Then while this friendly argument
was going on, the small woman who had
said nothing quietly handed the right
change to the conductor and the agony
was over.
"Faith, thin wimin do be always the
same" said the conductor as he returned
to his post. And who shall say he was
wrong?-New York Recorder.
