The wedding of Louis P. Schnable and

Laura We'll. of Florence, May Deacon, of

Schnable, of this city, were the brides
maids. John Mills and Fred King were

dIence was present After the ceremony

The funeral services over the remains
of George Foulkes, which took place in
the Zion Wesley M. E. Church, on We'd
nesday, we're made remarkable by the
reckless manner in which drunken pail
bearers iuggled the corpse. AS the coffin
was being carried into the church one of
the pail bearers lost his grip on it, and
the American flag which had been spread
over the casket slipped off and became
entangled in the feet of the bearers and
the corpse dropped heavily to the floor.
The excitement created by this incident
was allayed, and the services were quiet
ly gone through with. When the pail
bearers lifted the casket to carry it from
the church they again allowed 1t to slip
from their grasp, and to the horror of the
mourning friends and the congregation,
it fell face downward upon the floor. 1t
was unceremoniously rolled over, right
side up, and lifted, but before the door
was reached one of the casket handles
was wrenched off, and again the dead
body dropped heavily to the floor. I'm
dertaker Perkins asserted himself so sue
cessfully that the journey to the grave
was marked by no further uncanny incl
dents.

Hiebtstown,. Epidemio.

Hlghtstown is having quite an cpl
demic of diphtheria. There have been
some thirty cases of the dreaded disease
and seven deaths.
The local board of health, together
with the state board, have been diligent
in trying to find the cause, and they have
concluded that it has been spread by milk.
All the cases, with one or two excep-
tions, occurred in houses which were
served by particular wagon belonging to
Albert Chamberlain, dairyman. Cham
berlain employed boy in his dairy, who
on Friday, July 81 applied to local
physician for treatment. The doctor pro-
nounced the lads case diphtheria of the
worst type. He hurried him to Chamber
lain's house, and notified the dairyman
that he must be carefully and strictly iso-
lated. Chamberlain at once ceased to sell
any more milk, and dairy commissioner
was summoned to examine the dai.ymsn's
premises. State Chemist Shipper Wal
lace, with Inspectors Peter Vandegrift
and Robert Downing, examined Cham
berlain's herd of cows. The cattle APP
peared to be all right, and some of the
milk was taken for analysis. The off,
Gals are satisfied that the contagion was
caused by the milk sold while the sick
boy was on the premises.
strict quarantine of the infected
houses was observed, and every other pre-
caution taken. The result is that there
have been no deaths for several days,
and the epidemic is abatjng
AS general precaution the town was
gwen thorough cleaning from end to
end Never in the borough's history has
there been such general use of the
whitewash brush. Every body has been
at work and the supply of lime was near
ly exhausted. Everything is whitewashed,
even the curb stones throughout the
place. AS a result Hightstown is one of
the brightest and cleanest places in the
state.

peafness CANNOT be Cured

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
mucous lining of the eustachian tube.
When this tube is infamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition hearing
will be destroyed forever. Nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an infsmed condition of
