for making radical changes in regard to
health. During the winter. the system
becomes to certain extent clOgged
with waste, and the blood loaded with
impurities, owing to lack of exercise
close confinement IN poorly ventilated
shops and homes. and other causes.
This IS the cause OF the dull. sluggish
tired feeling 50 general at this season,
and which must be overcome, or the
health may be entirely broken down

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is on y one way TO cure deafness
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness IS caused by an eustachian
tube When this tube gets infamed
YOU have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet 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 cOndi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out OF ten are caused bv ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an infiam-
ed condition of the mucous cnrfaces.

ing papers and became very nervous. He
kept suggesting that he thought Schu-
maker had made up his mind not to come
around around again. But some time af-
ter 3 o'clock Mr.. Schumacher came in The
only remark made to him was:
Z" This is the Gen Smith who says he
was to meet you here
II was not going to assume the respon-
sibility that he was the man to whom the
money should be paid. After shaking
hands Mr.. Schumacher stepped up to the
dressing bureau back of my desk and
pulled out roll of bills and said: Count
that. After counting the money Gen.
Smith said: That is all right After
making some remarks about Brooklyn
Mr.. Schumacher left the Office then
made the tocular remark to Gen. Smith
that that was too much money for one to
carry. He said if 1t was for him he
would be very glad to make divide, but
that he had nothing TO do with it ex-
cept that he was receiving it for
other parties. He left the office A few

said that it was a mistake But when he
said that the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company had sent him and told him to

would identify, said:
"'Oh, / know who the money is for

had no more acquaintance with Gen
Smith than | had with one-half of the
people knew in Washington / had been
introduced to him and had met him and
known him probably three, four or five
weeks
Gen. Smith was never identified. All
that John G.. Schumacher could tell was
that, as an attorney, he had received
this check for $4,000 from the presi-
dent of the steamship company, with
instructions to carry it to Washing
ton and deliver it to an unnamed per-
son, whom he would be able to locate
through MIR. Elmore. The rest Of MIR.
Schumaker's story matched pretty well
with Elmores.

Schumacher said, II did not want to do
it. l told them that if it was to pay it to
any member of congress | should have
nothing to do with it. They assured me
that there was no member of congress
who was to have anything to do with the
money"
Mr.. Schumacher declared his inability to
identify Gen. Smith. He had never seen
him before, and thought at the time the
name was fictitious one. Such is one of
the mysteries of Washington legislation.
The history of the lobby abounds in these
strange tales.

THEY ARE IN DEMAND.
Marquises in Favor in Scotland as
Rectors of Universities.

Marquises seem to be in demand in
Scotland as rectors of universities, for we
find Lord Butte delivering his inaugural
address as rector of St. Andrews almost
at the same moment as Lord Huntly,
popularity known as 1.-THE cock of the
north" was delivering his recJoral adj
dress to the students OF the university OF
Aberdeen. The two marquises present "a
most striking contrast in every respect.
Lord Butte is one of the wealthiest peers
of Great Britain, whereas Lord Huntly is
penniless and entirely dependent on the
wealthy Liverpool banker, Sir William
Brooks, who is his father-in-law. Lord
Huntly is thin and bald, while Lord Butte
| is stout, stolid and hirsute. Lord Butte is
one of the pillars of the Roman Catholic
church in Great Britain and Is very de-
vout, whereas Lord Huntly can scarcely
be regarded as person of transcendent
piety indeed, rather the reverse
Finally, Lord Butte is emiuently re-
spectacle and Of stainless character in
private life; but only the contrary can be
said of Lord Huntly, his mortal indiscre-
lions having on one occasion led to Grim
inal warrant being issued against him on
charge of felony, which was only COM
promised at great expense by his father
in-law after he had been forced to take
refuge in the wilds OF Albania and to re-
sign the appointment which he held at
the time as a member Of the queens
household.
Under these circumstances it is some
what extraordinary that Lord Huntly
should now stand high in the favor Of
Queen Victoria, while the Marquis Of
Butte is quite the reverse, and is seldom,
il ever seen at court. The only reason
that | can assign for this is that the
queen knows that he was brought up TO
regard her as having been guilty of an act
Of the most gross and cruel injustice
toward his family, in the person of his
aunt, the beautiful Lady Flora Hastings.
The latter was his mothers favorite
sister, and Queen Victoria's attitude
toward her constitutes to this day one Of
the few blots upon an otherwise glorious
reign.
Lady Flora was a maid Of honor to her
majesty. and while in attendance on the
queen became the victim of malevolent
gossip affecting her character. The queen,
instead Of protecting the girl as she
ought to have done, turned ready ear TO
the groundless SANDER, covered her with
disgrace, and insisted that she should
withdraw from the court until she had
been able to produce proofs that the
statements respecting her honor were un-
true. These proofs were given, but the
ignominy to which Lady Flora had been
subjected not only by the queen but also
by the prince consort and the entire
court was such that she fell III and died,
a victim, according TO public report, Of
royal heartlessness.

self has repeatedly made the same deelara-

argument made on sorehead Repu olicans,

this language:
See here. you haven't any thing against

shank The nsjor made = roussng speech
and was well received. He dweir for short
time on national issues and then told the
voters present in very clear Language why
they should support the entire Republican
ticket. He showed how fallacious the
Populist doctrines were and the thorough
dishonesty of the spotted agg eomoina-
ton He aroused the enthusiasm OF the
sailors in good shape.
Z T. Dole then talked for fifteen min
utes on national and county affairs, tell
ing how the workingmen in the East were
docking back 10 the Republican party, and
calling on tie members of the club Tor
hard work from now on till election day.
Justice Caldwell followed aud made
few remarks on local issues and his candi-
dxcy for reelection. He told story
which fitted the spotted eggs and brought
down the house.
Thomas W. Gordon was next introduced
as the present and next county clerk, and
had 8 1sttering reception. He made
short speech on local issues and the affairs
of his Office. and completely knocked the
underpinning from under the false state
ments recently made by Ananias Dick
Warner.
The chairman then introduced DR.. Nit

applause was deafening. showing the
doctor to be immensely popular IN his own
ward. He said he thought every Repub-
liean voter in the ward should constitute
himself q committee of one 10 see that the

He asked the members If they would do
this and cries of Yes, yes. were heard

say, You bet, the doctor is all right. and

himself TO be clever story teller, and his
comparisons greatly amused the audience.
Mai. Nettleton made short speech on
national issues and the ticket and was well
received. He said he was stranger 20
most present. but hoped By his actions TO
make them his friends. He said that in
conversation with him on the charges
published against him in the Telegraph
yesterday morning. A I. Van do Vanier
told him Of the matter, aud If ever man
looked another in the eye with perfect
honesty and manhood. that man WAS
A. T. Van de Van,er. Applause that
fairly shook the building followed this re-
mark. The major told those present that
he was o nominee for the legislature, and
asked their suttrages.
Fred Ware made q short speech, in
which he stated that the reports recently
published in the Teleg raph relative to the
aimshouse were totally untrue, as every
man employed on that building was
union man. and If there were any defects
it was the fault of same sorehead contrac-
tor. He showed that the Republican
party was the only friend OF the working
man and urged the members to work hard
for the whole ticket.
Short speeches were made by August
Boyer, recent convert from the Demo
