1t sounds queer to American ears
that the heir presumtive to the British
throne should have been compelled by
his royal relatives to desert wife and
two children in order to marry woman
who was once bethrothed to his brother
and who was acceptable from a politi-
cal point of view. Yet such are said
to be the facts, and its legal in Eng
land. Over here the Prince would be
Il bigamist.

The London Review of Reviews
for July speaks of the presence of
President Cleveland at the fair, and
the great and spontaneous burst of
applause that greeted his appearance
everywhere, and adds: "Making al
lowances for this popularity in cheer
ing, no royal parsonage could have
been more rapturously received than
was the plain citizen, Grover Cleve-
land. In the simple morning dress
of the ordinary civilian, without rib
bon or medal, or other decoration on
his breast, with nothing in his gart
to distinguish him from other men,
this ruler of more then three-score
million meu stood out in instructive
contrast to the brilliantly uniformed
representatives of European royalty
behind him. 1t was an object lesson
which could hardly be lost on the
hundreds present from monarchia1
states"

Deafness Cannot.he Cured

by local application 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 inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling 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
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrfl, which is nothing but
an iuhamcd condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

The entire business portion of Ed
gerton, small town of 1900 inhabi-
tants in Williams county, Ohio, was
destroyed by fire late Friday night.
The flames started in vacant build
ing in the middle of the town, and
had assumed large proportions before
the citizens realized the extent. Bry-
an, the county seat, sent an engine
and hose cart in response to a tele-
gram for assistance, but these were
not adequate to cope with the blaze.
The loss is about 100000, with
about two-thirds insurance.

The Worlds fair correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial takes
no shineto the Vermont building, He
writes:
"One of the oldest and most un-
accountable of the state buildings is
that Of Vermont. 1t is claimed for il
that it is one of the most original on
the grounds, and that the architecture
is "purely Pompeiian," two state
ments that don't appear to gibe very
well. What in the world Vermont
has to do with the architecture of
Pompeii? is the query raised III every
ones mind, and what prompted the
Vermont architect TO 90 to a dug out
city of Italy after model for rep
resentative Vermont building at the
Worlds Exposition? The buildings
of the other New England states are
appropriate and representative, that
of Massachusetts being reproduction
of the Hancock mansion, and the
others are IN colonial style. The Off
cial description states that 'in the CEN
ter Of the court is handsome marble
fountain. Marble from Vermont is
used throughout the entire Interior
Marble from Vermont should have
been used throughout the entire in
terror, and exterior, too, for that
matter, but it isn't. There is no
marble fountain and no marble any,
where about the building. In the Gen.
ter of the main room is a pedestal of
painted wood, and on it stands pot
ted palmetto. Pompeiian architecture
