MORE DEATHS THAN BIRTHS.
A Rapid and Ominous Decrease in the
Population of France.

A Rapid and Ominous Decrease in the
Population of France.
Statistics are very dull, and dullness
is thing to be Stunned by all we'll
regulated persons, says a writer in
the Philadelphia Telegraph, but an
article has just appeared in the Jour
nal Ohiciel which is not quite unipter-
esting to France and the French.
During the year 1892 the deaths in
France exceeded the births by over
twenty thousand. Hitherto the popula-
ton had been about stationary, but this
national deficit is serious. The French,
from the highest to the lowest, do not
care for large families, alleging, justly
enough, that children are expensive
articles. Did not cook the other day
lay her woes over the death of her first
born open to her sympathizing mis-
tess? ''That baby cost me first and
last not less than three hundred dol
lars,' quoth the bereaved mother,
land after all that expense it only
lived three weexsi'' The birth-rate is
about as usual in France, at the ratio
of twenty-five births for every thou
sand inhabitants, but the increase in
mortality is frightful, and is attrib-
uted by the medical authorities en-
tirely to grippe, which they state has
made more victims than the great
cholera epidemics ever killed in one
year. 1t is also solemnly set forth
that the children who were born at
the time of the war of 1870 are adding
to the mortality by expiring now; but
as these great medical lights state that
the children born during the siege
generally died in their infancy, owing
to their privations, it is difficult to see
why the mortality among the s'war
babies,'' as they were called, should
have ceased for twenty whole years to
spring up again suddenly. However,
there is the unpleasant fact that the
population of France, if something is
not done, will speedily resemble, in
this large and pleasant land, the rela-
tive proportions preserved by single
huckleberry sailing gravely in a very
large bowl of milk.

VIII be two Reports.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-George w.
Silsby, broker, through whom the son of
Senator Ransom had dealings in sugar
stocks, was asked by the investigating
committee today how the order slip con-
tanning Ransom's name became public.
Silsby said the answer would probably
involve reference to criminal proceed
ings and he must decline to reply. He
was temporarily excused. The infer
ence is that the slip was stolen from his
Office. He said Senator Ransom had
not speculated. John w. Mccarthy,
broker. declined to give the committee
any information as to his private orders
for sugar stock, or say whether senators
had been among his customers.
Lester, the telegraph operator for Car
son & Mccarthy, declined to answer
questions as to whether he had wired
orders for sugar stocks, and was excused
after a very brief examination. Senator
Davis expected to make the report of
the majority of the committee on Have
meyer and Searles to the district attor-
ney tomorrow, but Gray and Lindsay
desired to present a minority and that
of the majority has been withheld, so
it might all be done at once. Gray and
Lindsay think the questions which
Havemeyer and Searles refused to an
swer are not pertinent to the investiga-
fi0n

DEAFNESS 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 inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infiamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the infiam nation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever ;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness tcaused by catar1h>
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

Reading sold up to 2l16 on reports from Philadel phia that efforts making for the early reorgani- zation of the property were progressing favor. ably. Richmond Terminal touched 4, the first time in a long while. Rumors were current of 8 readjustment of ths plan for the reorganizs- tion of the property whereby the holders of the stock would receive additional advantages.
 The trunk lines weakened, New York Central declining to 9s regular and ssss seller, Lake Shore to 12616 and Canada Southern 4s3<. There was talk of rate cutting, but this gossip evidently was due to the new dinersntial allowed the Erie in west bound business. The srangers were also inclined to weakness at one time, and in some quarters the questions of tho dividends on Bur liogton and Quincy and St Paul were discussed.
 It was held by certain operators that the Quincy
 dividend will be reduced to per cent. at tha di-
