THAT DENIAL.

The name OF gentleman we'll
known to the readers OF the REGISTER
has been widely advertised during
the past week or two. On August
3Oth dispatch from Martin sburg to
the Baltimore American stated that
Stuart w. Walker has announced
that he is candidate for Congress
from the second district one year
hence" The next day the Baltimore
Suns correspondent from the same
place sent a denial direct from Mr.
Walker, in which that gentleman said
tha, the dispatch was both mis-lead-
ing and untrue. | have never an
nounced myself candidate for Con
gress against Mr. William l.. Wilson
and find nv time sufficiently occupied
bv nv profession to have no political
ambition at this time" Mr.. Walkers
denial has been most innocently
swallowed by many Of the newspa-
pers and the people generally who
have noted it. The astuts Charles
town Free Press and the practical
Parkersburg Sentinel both accept it as
conclusive, while the impulsive Berke-
lev Springs Meas grows positively EN-
thusiastic as it finds it can still sup
port both the present and the would
be Congressman. Brethren, read be
tween the lines. Mr.. Walker said he
is not a candidate at thus time-saId
that two weeks ago. A couple OF
months ago he swore by the gods
that he would be a candidate-at
least we were SO informed. There 5
no telling at what moment his law
business will allow him to enter the
race-there is nothing to prevent him
from changing his mind whenever he
feels like il. Be it understood, the
REGISTER hasn't the slightest objec-
top to his being a candidate-on the
contrary we expect II great deal OF
fun out of it. Our only object in re
ferring to the matter is 70 keep our
people advised OF the movements OF
Mr.. Walker. We don't want him to
pull the wool over their eyes lat this
time" We want to see Il bold, open
contest-such one as the Stuarts OF
Scotland used to make. We are con-
fidsnt that tho Hon. Stuart Wool
pulling Walker can fight openlyIand
grandly, even if he was too prudent
to run for the legislature in his own

Hold on a bit. Brother Hornor. This will

cused OF being good-looking and won't be

WE hasten to assure our modest
friend of the Gazette that we lay no
claim to good looks as long as the
Berkeley county Apollo is a candi-

offices shall never induce us to reflect
upon that manly beauty for which he
has long been noted.
By the way, spell his first name with

spelled theirs.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1l.-Telegrams oil
congratulation from all parts of the coun.
try are pouring in upon the president over
the advent of the new baby girl Mrs.
Cleveland made nearly all of the new
baby's outfit. Baby Ruth's outfit was
made by New York seamstress. Mrs.
Cleveland was then inexperienced and
did not know what baby required. But
this baby has all the advantages Of Mrs.
Clevela.d's experience with Ruth, and
will enjoy the benefit Of the fine materials,
such as fannels, wooden goods, soft silks
and the like which have been sent to Mrs.
Cleveland to be made up into baby clothes.
This is the first child born to president
in the White House

THE free silver advocates in the
United States Senate have settled
down to deliberate policy OF delay
and obstruction in order to prevent a
vote on the bill repeating the Shsr-
man act. The chief obstructionists
are the Senators from the west, own
ers, often, Of silver mines, who re-
gard their own pockets with far
greater solicitude than they do the
public good. They have determined
first OF all to consume all the time
possible in long speeches, and when
they have talked themselves hoarse
they will doubtless adopt other meth
DDS to stavs off a vote, unless there
shall be such general condemnation
Of their course by the people that they
shall be afraid to further obstruct
business. Senators Stewart, Teller
and Walcott are the leaders Of the
silverites, while Senator Voorhees, is
the chief OF the anti-silver forces.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

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 is inflamed you have rum
bling 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
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.

When farmer Jacob Christman, of
Pottstown, Pa, went to u pasture
field the other day he was astonished
at the antics of his large drove of
cows. They were all staggering
about like so many drunken men.
They beloved, threw their heads and
tails in the air, and acted like circus
horses prancing to the tune OF brass
band. 1t was the worst lot of jig
steps the farmer had ever seen. The
cows were intoxicated, but how they
came TO be so was a mystery until A.
X. Evens, a veterinary surgeon, was
called. He found that the cattle had
broken into corn field and the green
corn they had eaten fermented in
their stomachs, causing intoYication.

The longer a carpet is used in the
coiner's department at the United
States Mint at San Francisco the
more il is worth. Wear and tear do
not diminish its value. A thick wooden
carpet that has been on the coiner' 5
floor for seven years was recently
taken up and carefully cremated.
The precious ashes were scrupuously
gathered together, as if they were the
relics of some departed SAINT, and by
an elaborate refining process the
Government recovered 279 ounces of
gold, worth over $500. The metal
had been deposited there by the in
finitesimal abrasions and disintegra-
tions of the yellow metal while being
converted from bullion into coin.
Even the heavy gloves OF the men
who handle bullion are Incorporated,
and the gold is brought back to Uncle
Sans Golfers.
