MCCoMB CITY, Sept. Sth, '94.
Dear Mrs. Luckie and Sisters in the
Wet. u:
Our National Superintendent
of railroad work gave to our State
Superintendent of that depart
mcnt this suggestion: "Try to
have your department mentioned
in every report to Union Signal;
it arouses interest. If this is
true of one line of work, it is true
of all, and it is plainly the duty
of every local superintendent to
aid in this way. We want to know
what other unions in Mississippi
are doing for Social Purity-we
are eager for new suggestions and
readily adopt new plans.
McComb union has made some
progress in this branch. We
have an ample supply of litera-
ture for distribution. Knowing
that many women are lost because
they cannot get honest employ
ment, we have established a Labor
Bureau which helps to find work
for all applicants committee
of three being authorized to tran
sact all business. We keep no
tice to that effect in the w. &. L.
u. column and only this week a
person seeing the notice, came
twenty miles by rail to apply.
Once a month we have a moth
er's meeting. As the Union
meets every week and the gener-
al work makes heavy demands on

From this we see she will be

fresh baptismal of divine love
and power that will keep her so
close to the great heart of God
that she cannot speak or act with
out doing honor to our cause and
acknowledging Him in all her
ways. May she be kept safe
from storm and fire, or any dis

SAN ANTONIO, Aug 24.--Judge Geo.
H. Noonan, in an interview in one OF
the afternoon papers, intimates very
strongly that he will accept the Repub-
lican nomination for congress, which
will undoubtedly be rendered him by
the Republican convention, which
meets here tomorrow morning. He is
a very popular man all over the dis
trict and has been district judge for
nearly 30 years. The Democrats, how.
ever, are we'll pleased with the nomi-
nation of ex-senator Houston and
express no fears as to the result.
Judge Noonan is high protectionist
but otherwise is not very badly tainted
with Republicanism.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is used by al
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma'
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear'
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous surfaces.

HOUSTON, Aug. 24.-There was q
new move in the great passenger rate
war today when the scalpers began to
assault the Southern Pacific. All
along the elashing has been confined
to the Katy, the rate by brokers to
st. Louis being 95 cents. The Katy
tickets are not signed, nor are they
continuous, while the Southern Pa
cific's 500 tickets are continuous and
must be signed by the purchaser. All
day long orders from New Orleans
poured in by wire to brokers here to
buy Washington tickets at $40, the
rate from New Orleans to Washington
being S27 so, At first the scalpers put
the rate to New Orleans straight at
SIS, but they soon got to cutting under
each other and the fare to New Or
leans kept dropping until at 5 O'Clock
in the afternoon the brokers sign
read: "Fare to New Orleans 25 cents.n
A large number of these tickets were
sold at this rate, mostly, however, for
the benefit of the New Orleans
brokers, who will use the Washing.

move will be no one can predict. At

the reason that by promise OF marriage

the courts ruling, the district attorney
argued for conviction and the iurv

only two ballots. This morning Judge
Budd sentenced Lehman to pay fine of
$500, without imprisonment. As he has
no money, his attorney told him he was

for the surprise. and as Lehman left the

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Probably be-
cause it was cabinet day and difficult to
get the ear OF the president there were
few congressman at the White House
today. But they have in no degree
been relieved of their anxiety as to the
fate of the ssigniorsge bill, and doubt
less will make mp in numbers tomorrow
the omissions OF today.
The situation at the White House pre-
sents one strong feature of novelty, in
the fact that it appears to be the scene
of bloodless battle just now between
the congressman on the one hand, the
large majority of whom are urging sign
ing OF the seigniorage bill, and the great
the other, for 20 out OF every so of the
communications from them pray for the
veto of the bill. The congressman have
the advantage of personal presence on
the field, but the other side 10 in evil
dence in great force in the large num-
ber OF letters received in the presidential
mail and OF kilograms that come so nu-
merously as to keep the White Hcuse
operator occupied to his full capacity.
These communications by mail and
wire are coming from all parts of the
country, and are not, as might be sup
posed( altogether OF sectional origin.
For instance there are are appeals for q
veto from Cincinnati. st. Louis, San
Francisco and Salem, Ore. Virginia has
also joined the line, as is made evident
by protests against the bill from the
cotton factories of Norfolk and the Trans
portation interests there. A very
thoughtful presentation of objections 10
the bill coming from Richmond has
without doubt made some impression
upon the president,
OF course it ia manifestly impossible
for the president to read himself il de-
tail all of these communications, bat
they are carefully examined by Mr..
Thurber, and any new point or suggss-
ton on either side OF the case ia brought
to the attention of the president.
There are all sorts of stories ahoeE az
to the presidents disposition tcwarde

are indications that he proposed to use
most OF this time in thoughtful consider
