HIS HEARING WAS RESTORED.

But After Being Cured He Couldn't Even
Bear the Ticking Of . Watch.
A well-known physician recently told
the following story to an Indianapolis
Sentinel reporter:
"a prominent Marion county farmer
discovered that he was gradually get
ting deaf. He couldn't hear the hired
man blast stum.os with giant powder.
He came to my Office and made signs
that he wanted his ears examined. I
examined them, and in an instant, al
most, found that his defective hearing
was caused by the gathering Of a waxy
substance in the ears. When I re-
moved that obstruction Of the hearing
I was surprised at the result. The old
gentleman jumped from the chair
where he had been seated and put both
hands to his ears. He couldn't stand
the noise from the street and the least
sound startled him. He was one Of the
most pleased men ever saw. He went
away and it was several weeks before
saw him again. He called at the office
with his wife and she did all the talk
ing. She hardly raised her voice above
q whisper and every now and then she
looked at her husband in timid way.
She said that for several days he would
not allow the least bit of noise in the
house, and that he butchered some
pigs before their time because Of being
affected by their squeal. His daughter
and her husband had lived with them
for two years and they had to leave on
account Of the crying Of their six
months-old baby. There were two
clocks in the house, one In the dining
room and one in the bedroom. These he
stopped on account of the ticking. The
clock in the bedroom was an alarm
clock. It went of one night. He
jumped from bed and nearly broke his
neck by falling head first on the floor.
The woman said that she had to keep
the house as quiet as q country grave
yard for more than two weeks, for it
was that long before her husband be-
came accustomed to hearing. His
daughter, however, has gone back to
the farm with her baby, and the clocks
have been started again."

A DECEPTIVE TARGET.

Dangling hall
a shooting gallery popularity that
has recently came into popularity cone
sists In a very light and fragile ball Of
blown glass, or in some cases hollow
egg shell suspended from string.
This always attracts the inexperi-
enced marksmen, because the natural
destructiveness inherent In human ma
ture causes him to prefer to shoot at
something which he can smash rather
than at q target that gets no harm
from his accuracy.
Therefore, says the New York Sun,
he wastes his three shots, at one and
two-thirds cents shot, not on targets,
but on the suspended mark. And he
never hits it.
The experienced man in rifle range
gunnery wastes no time on the de-
ceitful ball. He knows that It can't be
hit. Probably he knows it from ex-
perience, for it is one Of those facts
that no man will believe until he has
tried it for himself.
The reason for it is that very light
hollow glass ball, or blown egg IL
properly hung on slender thread,
will dodge any bullet that ever came
from gun barrel. The air that the
bullet piles up in front Of it blows the
light mark out Of the projectile's path
until it has passed, after which the
target swings back to it's original POI
sition.
This is very provoking for the marks-
man, who, if he be good shot, has
the doubtful satisfaction Of seeing his
target execute three quick lodges at
the aforementioned price Of one and
two-thirds cents per dodge.
There is nothing, however, 30 re-
numerative to the proprietor as these
pendent marks, for the gunners, pro-
voked at their lack Of success, will keep
on and on and on trying to hit mark
compared to which pin head would
be q barn door shot, and they only
give It up IN disgust when the cost be-
gins to tell upon them or when some
wiser friend explains their leck Of sue
cess.
Two dollars is cheap price to pay
for the knowledge that ono Of these
hanging targets is better mark for a
baseball than for a bullet.

s.Palaca Cars"

Under this head are comprised sleeping,
hotel, dining, drawingroom, private, hunt
ing and composite cars. As long ago as
1885, the first attempt to provide sleeping
accommodations on train was made on
the Cumberland Valley railroad, in Penn
sylvania. The train from Harrisburg ar
rived at Chambersburg at night, and many
travellers desired to 90 Immediately through
to Philadelphia. A car was fitted up with
stationary hunks, such as are In use on
steamboats,, and was divided into four sec
tions, each having three berths, upper, mid
die and lower. Each passenger was ex.
pected to furnish his own bedding. The
first regular sleeping car, built according
to present ideas, was constructed by man
named Thompson, at Springfield, Mass, in
1857 or 1858. This car was bought from
Thompson by the late Webster Wagner,
then wagon maker, and from this has de-
veloped the great Wagner Palace Car COM
pany. Geo. NJ. Pullman Is another of the
pioneers in the business of making travel
luxurious, and his cars are known all over
the world. Another early inventor was
Woodruff, who made considerable money
on his patents, by royalties paid by both
the Pullman and Wagner companies. Sleep
ing cars were first used in the state of New
York in 1859. The Burlington Route
trains contain the finest products Of the
Pullman company In the way of sleeping
cars of the most modern kind, and as to
dining cars, they long since had the title of
peerless bestowed on them by the delighted
public. For tickets, maps and time tables

A Modest Little Boy.

Eight-year-old Fred was the youngest
member of a large family, and, unlike
many boys of thatage, was accustomed
to regard himself as person of little
Importance.
At the table he ate what was given
him with thankful heart and a vigor-
Gus appetite. He was not consulted as
to his personal likes or dislihes, as far
as food was concerned.
Naturally enough, therefore, his
ideas were much confused when, on
the occasion of his first dinner out at
the home of one of his schoolboy
friends, he was asked whether he
would like his slice of beef rare or
we'll done.
"Why-I-think," stammered Fred,
bashfully; and then, with his usual
bright smile, he said:

LIGHT is SOUGHT.
Inve stigation Into the Causes Of
the Late Strike Begun.
Tho Labor Commissioners In Session at
Chicago-yice President Howard and
General Master Workmen Sow
ereign Testify.
TOLD LABoR's STORY.

TOLD LABOR'S STORY.
CHICAGO, Aug. 17-President Cleveland's
special commission to investigate the recent
strikes and boycott against the Pullman and
the railroad companies began its inquiry
Wednesday In the district courtroom In the
federal building. The commissioners, consist
ing OF Labor Commissioner Carroll d. Wright,
John D. Herman OF New York, and Judge N. E.
WorthingtOn, of Illinois, occupied the judicial
bench.
G. w. Howard, vice president of the Anne l.
can Railway union, was called as the first wit
ness.
He told how the Pullman strike was pre-
cipitated by the alleged discharge of members
OF o committee that waited on the Pullman
company officials. He said he had advised
against the Pullman strike and he told Of
the efforts that were made by the American
Railway union and the civic federation
to induce the Pullman company officials to ar
bttrate the difficulties. He further related
how the convention of the American Railway
union, composed of delegates from all the
United States, declared that no more Pullman
cars would be handled by the American Rail-
way union after certain date unless the Pull
man company decided to arbitrate. The COM
pany refused to arbitrate and the railway men
refused to handle the Pullman cars.
Mr.. Howard said that the cause of the gen.
eral strike was that the General Managers as
ISOLATION made declaration that they would
back up George NJ Pullman.
Mr.. Howard testified that he had given in
formation to city detectives that certain per-
sons had been paid large sums by General
Manager Egan, of the Rock Island road to
burn cars, thereby arousing public sentiment
against the strikers.
In the beginning Of his afternoon testimony
Mr.. Howard told about the conference of la
Dor leaders at the Briggs house and said Mr..
Debs did not advise either Mr.. Gompers, Mr..
Sovereign or Mr.. Mcbride or any other labor
leaders to counsel men beneath them to strike.
Mr.. Howard advocated the government
ownership and operation Of railroads to pre-
vent such troubles In the future. AS to arbi-
tration, the labor leader had little faith in its
efficacy unless it was voluntary.
General Master Workman Sovereign, Of the
knights of Labor, followed. He said he knew
little Of the grievances Of the Illinois Central
employees and comparatively little about the
Rock Island except that the latter road was
the subject Of discussion in convention at
Des Moines before the general strike in Chi
cago.
Concerning the violence and destruction OF
property, Mr.. Sovereign said he believed the
burning OF cars was the work OF United States
