Gernan Arboratums.

The German Psychological society,
which is presided over by Baron Won st.
Paul, of Fischbach, in Silesia, consists
principally of practical gardeners, nur
serymen, scientific botanists, officers
of forestry and country gentlemen.
The aim of the society is the introduc-
tion of new trees and shrubs into Ger
many also to test their usefulness or
ornamental value. For this purpose,
it is proposed to plant arboratums in
different parts of Germany, which, of
course, will also contain the old and
well known species of indigenous trees
and shrubs.

The senate Finance Committee.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE senate
|Gnance committee met at 10 O'Clock to-
day to consider the free sugar and other
separate tariff bills. The republican
members say they could not take the
responsibility of reporting these bills.
The republicans have four members of
the finance committee here, and as the
democrats have but the same number
the former do not propose to have the
democrats counted as five. The COM
|mittee adjourned, and a meeting of the
democratic leaders was held to consider
Filling the vacancy on the finance COM
|mittee.
The democratic steering committee
chose Senator White, of California, to
|6ll the vacancy on thefinance committee.
While there was some opposition on the
part of members opposed to the supple
mental tariff bills, large majority was
favorable to his selection. The attempt
|ln the senate to fill the vacancy by the
appointment of White was objected to
by Chandler. The republicans insisted
the motion must 60 over under the rules.
After spirited contest, Harris motion
for the appointment of White was with
drawn. Harris later put the motion in
the form of resolution, and it went
over until tomorrow.

The Central American Republ,cs.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-So far the
American ministers in Central America
have not advised the state department OF
the movement for the combination of the
i've small Central American republics
into one large nation. While such COM
bination would be welcome, it is felt it
is scarcely practicable because of the
personal jealousy of many of the self
constituted leaders which led to the down
fall of the old confederation quarter of
century ago.

but the advance of the column was re-

along the Letaha river come reports of
severe fighting between isolated parties
of retreating Beers and Kaffirs who are
burning Boer homesteads all along the
river. The Beers are fleeing before the
Kafirs' advance, taking all their portable
property; but large quantities of prov
isions and cattle have necessarily fallen
into the hands of the Kaffirs. The latter
have murdered number of Beers and
their wives and children, and the fiercest
feelings of the Beers have been aroused
against the rebels. In all the disturbed
districts mail and passenger coaches have
been stopped, the passengers killed,
coaches looted and destroyed, and mules
stolen. The Murchison road is entirely

Deafness Cannon 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 inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infiamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect bearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result. and unless
the Inflammation 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
hamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for

Tariff Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-As soon as
the reading of the journal of the senate
was completed, Harris, on behalf of the
democratic steering committee, moved
the senator from California (White) be
appointed to the vacancy on the finance
committee caused by the death OF Vance.
Chandler interposed an objection.
Harris made the point of order that
his motion was privileged because it
looked to organization.
Chandler remarked sarcastically that
it was a little too late to begin the or
ganization of the senate. He called at
tention to the fact that the vacancy on
the finance committee had lasted for
months, and it was proposed now to fill
it at the very close of the session.
Harris declared hotly it was with pro-
found astonishment he heard objection
from the other side. In the 1S years he
had been a member of that body, no
matter what party was in power, the
majority named at will members of the
several committees of the senate and no
voice was heard in objection. The
course of Chandler he condemned as
most revolutionary.
Chandler declared it came with i'll
grace from Harris to condemn a request
made under the rules of which he (Har-
ris) was such master.
Then Hill got the floor and plunged
Immediately into criticism of the leg
islation which the filling of the vacancy
was designed to expedite. So far as the
bills placing coal, iron ore and sugar on
the free list were concerned, he voted,
he said, for them when they were legiti-
mately before the senate and was not
trying to escape from the record.
The conference report on the def
cheney bill has been submitted to the
senate and agreed to. At 1 40 the sem
ate adjourned until tomorrow.

Most parrot stories are regarded a.

been present at the time. He was

christened Chicory Doc. He calls it
Chicory Doc because there is a dock
outside and ''doc' inside, and the
whole place is surrounded by the blue
flowers of the wild chicory, and is also
quite chic.

One Sunday afternoon. when my

2f the downpour and the flashing OF
the lightning. Presently a sharp

report. and then came the voice of
Polly! "Who is it? Who is it2 Come
in! Wait a minutcr' Then. as there
v as no response, he called sharply:
doctor! doctor!" and then losing pa
tience, he became more familiar and
insistently shouted: Frank! Frank!
But, though the company laughed,
they all thought that the lightning
had given a close enough call, and the
cry of the bird was not answered.
