Deafness Cannot be Corsd

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have Il
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

AT this juncture the revival of the
Irish dynamitard is about as danger
Gus a blow as could be struck at the
political hopes of Ireland. His re-
preston by Parnell was the first and
most important step in the campaign
that led to the overthrow of the tories.
His temperance now threatens to
turn the fruits of victory into Dead
sea fruit. Every Irish patriot should
help to run the rascal down. Than
him the cause of home rule has no
deadlier enemy.

A eALLAp OF TREES AND THE MASTER.

Into the woods my Master went,
Clean forspent, forspent,
Into the woods my Master came
Forspent with love and shame.
But the olives they were not blind to him,
The little gray leaves were kind TO him.
The thorn tree had mind to him,
When into the woods he came.
Out of the woods my Master went,
And he was well content:
Out Of the woods my Master came,
Content with death and shame.
When death and shame would WOO him last
From under the trees they drew him last,
Twas ON a tree they slew him last,
When out of the woods he came.

ACCORDING to an Eastern scribe the
art of letter writing is almost forgot
ten. The daily records of the courts
refute this. The masses of dreary

person of note dies makes the refuta-
ton emphatic. People do. however,
write fewer letters than formerly. but
this is not forgetfulness; it is reform.

FIVE AWFUL DAYS.
Damage to the British Ship
Mel elan.
Everything Movable On Deck Was
Washed Away and All the Bulk
heads Crushed to Pieces.

The British ship Thomasina Mcclellan,
which arrived outside the heads about noon
yesterday, got into port at dark and re-
ported story of five awful days at sea.
The ship sailed from Hakodate Deeen Der
6, and on the 18th was struck by sue
cession OF northern gales that rapidly de-
yelored iUtO a hurricane.
For FIVE days the sea was high and con.
fused. and the decks Of the vessel were filled
10 tile rail with water. Great waves rolled
from one end Of the vessel to the other and
everything movable was washed over
board.
The cabin was stove In and all the win
dows broken. as well as doors and veBtila-
tors. The officers rooms were flooded and
everything washed -, not leaving even a
change OF clothes.
Everything above deck was damaged.
from the forward house to the after cabin.
The cooks galley and engne-room were re-
duced to wrecks. All the bulkheads were
stove in, and also the boats. The port
water tank was carried away.
While the storm lasted the crew were
practically helpless. not being able TO leave
the ship even bad she commenced to sink.
Fer sse days nobody slept, ard it was next
TO impossible to even prepare food.
Everybody was soaking wet and could not
find dry place big enough to put his
foot on. Few of those on board ever ex-
pecied to see land again, but on December
- the storm aoated, and from then until
they arrived in port there was succession
of light variable winds. before which good
time was made.
The strange thing is that nobody was hurt
or suffered more than temporary inconyeni-
ence as result of the terrible shaking up
and exposure.

A WIDOWS PRAYER
Teresa Bells Struggle to
Make Ends Meet.
A PROBATE COURT STORY.
Nanny Peasants Views on Houee-
hold Economy-A Demand for
$4,000 Monthly Cut to $4,000.

An application was made to Judge Colfey
yesterday on behalf of Mrs. Teresa Bell.
widow of Thomas Bell, the late millionaire.
for family allowance of 5000 month.
The executors of tie will and estate opposed
the widows demand, and after hearing tes-
timony Judge Coffey made an order fixing
the allowance at $1,000 per month.
On the witnesses stand Mrs. Bell stated that
she required $1,000 monthly to meet her
household expenses She said she had In
her employment eight servants at her city
residence, 1861 Octavis street, ana twenty
two servants at her country residence in
SonOma County.
She had twenty coach-h0rses in her
stables.
She had three daughters, aged respect
lively 16. 10 and years. and three sons. aged
respectively 10, and years
Each ef the girls required 500 month
for new dresses. and thu boys had to have
$3.50 monthly for new clothes.
The compensation of the san FraDci3co
servants amounted TO 500 month.
The water, gas and fuel cost SlG0 month.
The meat bill was $50 month.
The poultry and game consumed by the
family and servants cost $50 month, fish
$40, fruit $50; bread. cakes. ETC., $50; wines
$50 and groceries $50.
Tue servants, payroll at the country resi-
dence was $3.50 a month
For her own wardrobe Mrs Bell requires
$500 a month. for pocket-money 500. and
for the education of her children $500
month.
Nanny Pleasant. who manages Mrs.
Bells finances, testified that the monthly
expenses Of the family were not less than
$4,000, and she could not see how they could
be reduced.
Genrpe SfaaekP ms of The expcutors
testified that he was employed as conf
dental clerk by tie deceased millionaire.
The estate he estimated TO De worth 81, 500
Geo. against which there were liabilities ag-
gregatiug $4,000. 1t would be necessary,
he said, to sell a portion OF the estate to
meet the debts. The executors had to pay
$1,000 month in Interest and there was
nothing with which to pay it. During the
last years of his lie Mr. Bell had sold nearly
all bis income-pr0duciDg property, and he
had been rapidly consuming his estate by
his mode of living. The most valuable por-
ton Of his estate weTe the mines in Mexico,
which would become seriously deteriorated
II the price Of silver continued TO decline.
Mr.. Staacke did not think the widow could
be allowed 5000 monthly for family ex-
penses without sacrificing large portion Of
the estate.
Upon this showing. Judge Coffey advised
Mrs. Bell To use the knife Of retrenchment
and ordered that she be allowed $1,000 d
month pending the fling of the inventory
and appraisers report.
Among the claims fled against the Bell
estate Is pr0miSsorv note Tor $4,000 IN
favor CT the National Bank of d. 0. Mills
q Co. at Sacramento, and claim OF the
Bank Of California TOR S6271 16.
The executors Of the estate 10 whom let
ters of administration have been granted
are George Staacke. Henry PichOir and j.
