A Very Able Speech.

Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia,
made yesterday very able speech on the
currency question and the repeal of the
silver purchasing clause of the Sherman
law. Mr.. Faulkner recognizes, as some OF
his associates in the Senate are slow in
doing, the obligation resting upon every
representative of the party in power to
"carry into effect the commands of the peo-
pie and the pledges of the party" even at
the sacrifice Of personal comfort or inclina-
ton He is an earnest believer in bimetal-
lism, but ne is not blind to the facts OF his
tory of the existing situation. He declares
that it would be impossible for the United
States at this time to attempt to establish
free and unlimited coinage of silver at any
ratio, and at the same time to preserve The
parity between the metals" He will vote
for repeal, but favors an amendment de-
claring the purpose of the Government to
use all its powers to establish silver on an
equality with gold as STANDARDIZED

Deafness CANNOT be Onred

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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the ma-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflanied yol have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness lcaused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

The following is the impression of guest
at the golden wedding of DR.. F. Humphreys,
the senior of the great Humphreys Homeo
Medicine Company: Comparatively few
couples are spared to enjoy the pleasure of
celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of their
marriage, their golden wedding, but such
was the good fortune of DIR. Frederick and
Mrs. Humphreys on August LIST. The re-
ception took place at Monmouth Beach,
their country-seat, of which there is none
handsomer on the Jersey coast, the grounds
running to the broad Atlantic; the fine
beautiful house of "many gables" was even
more attractive than ever, when decked with
golden flowers, and when there was gather
ed beneath its spacious roof children, grand
children, kinsfolk and friends from far and
near. The dresses of the ladies, the strains
of sweet music, the fragrance of flowers and
the many rich and rare presents gave the
effect of fairy land. The scene seemed COM
plete when the central figure, erect and
handsome as of yore, DR.. Humphreys, and
his sweet faced wife, children, grandchildren
and friends, stood while the golden Loving
Cup was passed from hand to hand Each
sip of the rich wine was accompanied by
silent prayer for the continued happiness
of our host and hostess"

shooting an oil we'll The dangerous fluid
was being transferred to a wagon to which
three horses were attached.
considerable quantity had been
placed on the wagon when in some
manner which will probably never be ex-

terrific concussion shook the surrounding
buildings violently. People near the scene
were thrown about in every direction.
The only portion of NJ $. Van Buren's
body yet found is part of leg. Small
shreds of flesh were scattered all about.
The three horses were also blown TO frag-

the wagon remain.
Van Buren was 90 years of age and un-
married. The escape of his brothers, who
was near by, was miraculous.
