Deafness Comes From Gatavgh
Drs. Mccoy and wiidman Say 1T Arises
From This Disease in Four Cases Out
of Every Five.

This very annoying trouble results In
four cases out OF every five from the Ca
tarrh, which has existed some time. and
slowly extends from the throat backwards
and upwards along the Eustachian tubes
and thence to tho middle ear The pres
enee oil catnrrh Ia the little tube leading
TO the car results In closing up the tube
by reason of the swelling induced by the
disease. When the Eustachian tubes are
plugged mp to any extent deafness ensues
from inability of the air 10 get back of
the drum Of the car. Unless there Is air
behind and in front of the drum hearing
becomes impaired. The only way TO re-
lieve these eases of deafness Is TO cure the
catarrh first, then treat the ears. In these
eases artificial drums and all other appli
anees are worse than useless Remember
that deafness resulting from caturrh rare
~, II ever, gets well If left to itself, but
almost invariably gradually gets worse
until total loss OF hearing results,
MAXIa-If you have catarrh and are
deaf, first have your catarrh cured, then
there will be chance to relieve the deaf
ness
Drs Mccoy and wlldman make q spe-
clalty of the treatment OF cata1rh. They
furnish all medicines free and their
charges for treatment are so moderate
that they are within the reach OF all.

laughed and said yes" Being in his
shirt sleeves we suggested that he
was fine specimen of u farmer, when
| he said ''yes' that was his business
and he came from the lower end of
4 Chester county. We told him we Of

tor of the Wilmington Daily CONNER
cial, published by jenkins and Atliin-
son, but for the last II years he had
charge of the State "Hayseed" depart
ment at Harrisburg. We done up the
battle flag department, the State libra
ry and assembled the dome, but did not
carve our uames In the wooden scroll
of history, as right before us we spied
a tin sign painted black and upon
which was Inscribed in glaring letters
the following:

The Police Commission held the
regular weekly session last evening,
with Captain Francis acting rs seore-
tary.
Mayor Wiley reported that Pierce
Gould, who purchased the balky patrol
wagon horse, had sent his check for
&100 In payment. 1t will be sent to the
city treasurer.
The petition of the Water Commits
sion for permission to place tho
wiresfor the use of the department on
the fire alarm telegraph poles, was
granted.
The report of Police Surgeon Baird
for July stated that he had treated
fourteen Police Department patients
during tho month, ten being medical
and four surgical subjects. Two were
sent to the homeopathic Hospital, Two
to the almshouse and three to the in
sane asylum. Eleven of the patients
were whites and three negroes, -four
being police officers. In addition,
sixty three police candidates were OK,
amined, forty-three of whom passed,
ten were nearly up to the mark and ten
were much below the requirements.
The report of City Detectives Haw.
kins and Hattonfor tie past mont
was received and filed.
Commissioner Lawson said he would
like to know why officer Sherer was SO
dilatory in reporting the burglary al
the house of Robert Smith.
Mayor Wiley said that he had inves
tigated the matter, and ascertained
that the officers action was a m after
OF mistaken Judgment. He had rep.
rimanded him, and given instructions
| Tor all the officers in the future.
MIR. Lawson was of the opinion that
Sherer should have been suspended fol
at least two weeks, without pay, but
after discussing the matter, it was de.
cided to let il pass this time.
A vote Of thanks was extended to N.
| W, Zimmerman, for gratuitously in,
speeting the new police uniforms.
Mr.. Jester said hethought the patrol
wagon officers were entitled to as
much pay as the patrolmen. As they
only receive $50 month, he thought
there should be an increase. No action
was taken on the matter, but it is
/ probable there will be In the near fu,
ture. 1t WINS decided to use two horses
instead OF one to the patrol wagon
1 hereafter.

called to the case of William Wood

OF explaining the workings of the as.

urge general attendance of the col.
ored people at these meetings. as they
will hear something which will be of
great benefit to them. Colored people
must learn to have as much confidence

TO-DAY, the black tlend Jas. Thor
oughgood ends his life upon the gal
lows ut Dover FOR tho commission of
q nameless crime. Nobody complains
of this uet OF retributige justice, He
is guilty and deserves to die.
This same day, n nun named Marker,
Is fugitive from Justice charged with
a similar crime lie WAS arrested and
sent TO jail but he found everyt hing
easy for making an escape and he Inn
proved the opportunity. No attempt
has been made to re-eapture him; the
Governor has not even offered u re.
ward for him. II is said in defence of
the Governor that Markers victim had
q loose character and her word could
not be relied upon.
We do not see what difference that
makes. Have not such people rights
under the law that should be respect.
ed2 Ii our Kent county neighbors do
not like to be criticised about this mat
ter they should have Marker arrested,
tried before the courts, and either con,
victed or cleared. This, it seems tc
