Herman Zetlelr, a German, was be-
fore Judge Ball this morning, charged
with coniuration and fortune telling.
The evidence showed that he professed
to cgre disease by conjuration, and
that woman who had been sick for
some time oilled upon him, when he,
after making an examination, gave her
a powder. He also told her that 1t
would be necessary for her to have a
five dollar gold piece sewed up In a
flannel to wear around her neck. She
took the gold piece to him. and he
professed to put 1t in the piece of liam
mel which she wore for two weeks,
and as she did not get any better, took
1t of and ripped IL open.
She was surprised to find that In
stead of five dollar gold piece, the
flannel only contained a five cent piece,
and when he refused to return her
money, had him arrested. As he has a
wife and six small children, she de-
clined to prosecute, and the Judge
discharged him, with an admonitlon
to leave town as soon as possible, or
he might lind himself in more trouble
This suit was brought under chapter
1872. Section Z, of the Laws OF Delaware,
which provides that: "If any person
shall pretend to exercise the art OF
wltchcraft, coniuration, fortune tell
ing or dealing with spirits, he shall be
fined not exceeding one hundred dol
lars, and shall stand one hour in the
piliory, and may be imprisoned not
exceeding one year" Consequently, il
/ the prosecutrix had determined tC
push the case, 1t would have proved {
very serious matter for him.

Drs. Mccoy and wiidman Say 1t Arises
From This Disease in Four Cases Out
of Every Five.

This very annoying trouble results in
four eases out OF every i've from the ca
tarrh, which has existed some time, and
slowly extends from the throat backwards
and upwards along the Eustaohian tubes
and thence to the middle ear. The pres
ence OF catarrh in the little tube leading
to the ear results in closing up the tube
by reason of the swelling induced by the
disease. When the Eustachian tubes arc
plugged up to any extent deafness ensues
from inability of the air to get back OF
the drum Of the ear. Unless there is air
behind and In front of the drum hearing
becomes impaired. The only way to re-
lieve these cases of deafness Is to cure the
catarrh first. then treat the ears. In these
cases artificial drums and all other appli-
ances are worse than useless, Remember
that deafness resulting from catarrh rare
ly. If ever, gets well If left to itself. but
almost invariably gradually gets worse
until total loss of hearing results.
MAxIM-1f you have catarrh and are
deaf. first have your catarrh cured, then
there will be chance to relieve the deaf
ness.
Drs. Mccoy and wildman make a spe-
cialty OF the treatment of catarrh, The y
furnish all medicines free and their
charges for treatment are so moderate
that they are within the reach of all.
