A New Swindle.

The smooth tongue young man
with the sanctimonious face, has again
swindled New England farmer
This time the town of New Canaan,
Connecticut, is the scene, and Goodrich
Hubbell the chief actor, The story of
the swindle runs as follows: One day
lately the oily tongued youth called on
Mr.. Hubbell and represented himself
as a preacher. He asked shelter,
which was readily given. Presently a
man and women came along in quest
or clergyman to marry them. Far
mer Hubbell asked his new acduaint-
ance if he would perform the cere-
mOny, and the latter at once agreed.
After the usual formula had been re,
cited, the marriage certificate was
signed by the bride and groom, the
farmer and his wife acting as witnesses.
The couple withdrew, as did the al
legged minister, and the following day
farmer Hubbell discovered that the
supposed marriage certificate was a
note for 1915, which he was called upon
to cash.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There Is on y one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus.
tachian Tube. When this tube is in.
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tlrely closed, Deafness 10 the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de.
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which Is moth

Use Of Aluminium.

Aluminium is gaining a place among
industrial metals. Lately there has
appeared in the show-windows of fan
cy-goods stores a variety of articles
made from aluminium. In appearances
these good are little, if any, inferior to
silver articles and they are less liable
TO tarnish from the action of SULPHUR
gases. The metal is well adapted for
numerous things in common use, such
as pocket match-safes, cigar cases. pen-
cil-cases, and even watchcases. 1t will
be more and more used for these and
other purposes as time advances. One
OF the disabilities that has prevented
its more rapid introduction into various
industries has been the lack of suitable
soldiers for joining it after it has been
reduced to required forms.
According to an article in the En0ia.
eertag Magazine, however, several re-
ceipts for soldiers for aluminium work
ing have lately been brought out.
which promise to be of great value to
the various trades in which aluminium
finds a use.

Dividing California.

State division is no new thing in Ameri-
ca. Il ID not exact to say that all the
lands formerly held in the west by the
old states formed an integral part of
these. But the lands held, say by Con-
,necticat and Virginia and Ohio, were so
after q fashion and were merged into
q great state. Besides this, however,
We have the formation of Kentucky out
Of Virginia, Tennessee out of North
Carolina, Iaine out of Massachusetts,,
Mississippi and Alabama out of Geor-
gia, Vermont out of New York and
West Virginia out of Virginia. In none
of these cases were the conditions more
diverse than those of our two great di-
visions in California. There is no record
that any of these regret their new state
hood, nor is there an intimation that
they desire or have ever desired to
merge again into the old state.
The desire for local self government
in southern California arises from no
jealousies, no antagonisms to northern
California, and, least Of all, to political
place hunting. tits the result Of econom-
ic and political necessities. We need
state government of our own. In fed
eral affairs we have our own separate
officers, courts, military department,
ETC., just as Oregon has; we have our
own financial and Industrial independ-
ence as much as Oregon has, and we have
a new population quite as distinct from,
that of northern California as is that Of
the state of Washington. Californian.

CONGRESSIONAL MATTERS.

Several Schemes of Members OF the
House to Fix Up Finances.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Elm anticipat-
ion of the adoption of the code of rules,
reported and now pending, members
have already filed 2O2 bills with the of
ficials of the house, which will be placed
on the calendar in the order in which
they were received; and If there is any
benefit to be derived from priority of
position these measures would be in
position to receive it. A great majority
are bills that have already found a
place on the calendars of previous con-
crosses such as bills to repeal the
federal election laws, to repay to the
states the cotton tax, to establish a
uniform system of bankruptcy, to in
crease the facilities for prosecuting war
claims of various kinds The original
bills chiefly grow out of existing fin
ancial conditions.
The Coombs Idea.
Mr.. Coombs of Brooklyn is the author
of a lengthy amendment to the national
bank act, intended to secure additional
currency. It authorizes the secretary
of the treasury to issue certificate notes
to national banks upon the following
securities being deposited with him TO
the amounts named.
On United States bonds, 100 per cent;
on state, railway and municipal bonds
of at least par market value, on which
interest has not defaulted for 10 years,
30 per cent; on first mortgage loans
guaranteed by corporations with.
$3.50, 600 capital, 20 per cent; on certif-
Gates of deposit of gold and silver
coin or bullion in the treasury or minis,
100 per cent; on warehouse receipts of
pig iron, cotton and wheat issued by
companies with paid up capital of
$3.50. 600, IS per cent.
Several bills to repeal the 10 per cent
tax on state bank circulation are in
cluded in the list, and two to establish
an income tax. One by Mr.. McRea of
Arkansas is moderate measure, and
one by Mr.. Richardson of Tennessee is
radical in its provisions.
What Harter Would Like to See.
Mr.. Hartel of Ohio, has prepared o
national bank bill under the provisions
of which national banks may issue cir
culating notes up to rs per cent Of their
paid capital and surplus without de-
posting bonds to secure it, and bonds
now on deposit with the treasurer to
secure circulation may be withdrawn

to make an assessment:np all the ma
tional banks of the state in which the
derelict bank is located, divided pro
rata according to their capital and
surplus, TO make up the deficiency. Be-
sides the rs per cent of circulation pro-
vided for as stated the banks may issue
an amount equal to 50 per cent of their
capital and surplus to be known as
emergency circulation," secured by
United States bonds, and to pay a tax
of 6 per cent until retired. Mr.. Harter
has also prepared bill making it I'M
lawful under heavy penalty for anyof the
employees of national bank to borrow
money Of that bank; also to authorize
the secretary of the treasury to sell
United States bonds when he deems it
necessary, thereby to maintain the
parity of paper and silver money in the
United Stateswith gold; also to authorize
the issue of national bank notes to the
par value of bonds deposited fo, their
redemption; also directing the president
to open the minis of the United States
to the free coinage of silver when ever
he shall have been officially advised that
not less than six nations of Europe, in.
cludiag Great Britain, Germany and
France, have likewise opened their
minis,

WARRINGTON, Sept 6. Accommodations
Lochren, of the pension bureau, has
issued an order withdrawing that OF

of June 81, 1890. The order reads:
Hereafter in afixing rates under this
act the medical referee or the medi-

weigh each debility and determine the
degree that each debility of the COM

to this degree shall be allowed. In
cases in which the pensioner has
reached the age of rs, his rate shall not
be disturbed If he is receiving the
maximum, and if is not pensioner
he shall receive the maximum for senil-

This order shall benefit and claimants
who have been denied ratings under
the former practice. Under the new
order the contributory causes of dis
ability, cons tituting amental or physi-
cal incapacity to earn support by man

A Poll of the Senate Shows q Good

WASHINGTON, Sept. d. Senator Voor-

the senate will vote on the repeal bill
inside of 10 days. He says there is one
more speech to be heard on the ultra
free Silver side. That is Jones of Ne
vada, who at the outside can talk only
two days. That will allow plenty of
time, for the Southern senators who
want to square themselves with their
constituents to make remarks of rea-
sonable length. Senator Roach also
said he had learned from some of the
silver senators they did not expect to
filibuster. Some predict vote inside
bf a week
