only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an intlamed condition of the
mucous lining of the eustachian tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have u
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, 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 condition, hearing will he de-

West Chester-wilmington Pike.


Levi b. Kaler, Michael Towers,
Thomas L. Mullin, John Il. Starkey and
N. II. Benjamin, Of Ph1nixville, have
been appointed by the court to view
and, IL they see occasion, condemn the
West Chester and Wilmington pike
from the borough limits to Darlington's
Corner; to make said road public and
free of tolls and tollgates and to assess
damages sustained by the owners thereof
by reason of the condemnation. The
jury has given notice that it will meet in
the grand jury room of the Court House,
on Thursday morning, June 7th, when
and where all persons concerned will be
heard. To what extent the company
will fight tho effort to have the road
freed cannot be foretold at this time, but
indications are that they will be on hand
and will make themselves heard. The
majority of the taxpayers along the road
are bitterly opposed to the tollgates, and
have been endeavoring for several years
past to drive the company out OF exis'
tence. .5=

American Shipbuilder Thursday.
John Il. Brooks steel schooner yacht
Lasca, built by the Harlan & Hollings-
worth Co., of Wilmington, Del, from
plans of A. Cary Smith, made splendid
run across the Atlantic. Her time from
New York TO Fastnet was only 1871
days. She arrived at Gourock, Scotland,
May 9th. On the last day of April tie
vessel ran into a heavy gale, which
tested the yachts seaworthy qualities in
a manner which was most satisfactory
to Captain Rhodes, as he had been wish
ing for storm from the time the Lasca
passed out OF Sandy Hook. The yacht
is well qualified to go around Cape
Horn in, or to any other part of the
world,

A Dover Man Realizes That Tax Receipts

n
are Not Good Securities for Debts.
Dover Index.
A certain young gentleman in this
town who is a better business man than
he is a politician, has evidently been
under the impression that when he was
possessed of taxables receipt he was
also possessed of his vote. Some time
ago he loaned one voter dollar and
half and took his receipt as collateral.
Tho fellow got duplicate for two cents
and hence made $l.4S.
Not long ago he gave another voter
$1.35 and told him to get the receipt and
bring same to him. This was done. A
few days later the taxable called at the
tax brokers place of business and de-
manded the receipt. This was refused.
The voter grew loud in his demand.
Don't talk so loud" says the receipt
holder "the directors will hear you"
The young man afterwards got dupli-
cate for two cents and exhibited the
same to the tax capitalist. He got his
tax paid for two cents-$l.33 ahead,

But for his mishap in breaking his
bicycle when within 400 yards of the
finish Robert Weir of this city would
have won top place at the great Irving
ton. Milburne road.race, Wednesday.
Anyhow he came in ninth and was
thereby the winner of fine Rambler
machine. His time was l.l6.45. He
rode a Fowler machine and it is likely
he will obtain one as a prize as the
makers offered such prize to the rider
who came nearest to the finish on one
of those bicycles. Weir's wheel was
broken by another rider running into
him.

and, it is said, they will erect thereon
this year magnificent stone church to
cost between $4,000 and $4,000 This

too small for the congregation.

and the Animal Was Not ut the Point
Designated by Him.
Major Fisher, a colored fish -hawker,
received word Thursday that his
long lost horse had been seen grazing in
the neighborhood Of Red Lion, and if
the owner would come and get it the
equine could be obtained for the asking.
Fisher set out with Captain Chambers
for Red Lion Thursday morning and re-
covered his horse.
Fisher lost his horse two weeks ago.
He came to police headquarters with the
intelligence that quack doctor had put
him under the effects of "hoodoo,"
and while under the spell he had caught
glimpse of his horse through glass.
The animal was observed going up the
Kennett pike. Fisher placed explicit
confidence in the "hoodoo" and wanted
the police to go after the animal at the
point designated to him in the trance.
He has very little faith in the
"hoodoo" now, and is inclined to he
lieye that it was a failure IN his case.

The Charge Against MeIvor Dismissed.

Special Correspondencou Ut Gazette and journal
New CASTLE. June 1.-Mayor Herbert's
Office was crowded to its utmost capacity,
last night, by friends and otherwise of
James b. McIvor, who had been sum-
moned to answer charge Of contempt of
court. Incidentally there was also the case
of the city against Reilly, the Dobbinsville
saloon keeper, for having a side door open
ON Sunday, and an imposing array of wit
nesses on both sides filled the dock.
After lengthy examination of all the
witnesses it was found that the testimony
in favor of Reilly outweighed that against
him and nothing could be done but dis
miss the case.
Correspondent James McIvor then was
called, but on examination he showed that
he was ignorant of the nature of the sum
mons on Tuesday night. In fact, he af-
firmed that no regular summons had been
served on him; he was simply told that
Mayor Herbert wished to see him. The
mayor dismissed the case.
