Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
thediseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way TO cure Deafness, and that is bycon-
stitutional remedies. Deafness iscaused by
an inflamed condition Of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing and when 1t 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
be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inilamei condition of the mucous sur
faces.

STATE DETECTIVE SERVICE.
The Journal Has q Chat with Detective OdIin
Of Lewiston.

State Detective Odlin of Lewiston, who
has been in the city, in connection with
the trial of the alleged Oakland burglars
Mr.. Odlin figured very creditably in the
detective service at the Worlds Fair. He
has been engaged in detective work during
the past Is years, seven years of which he
was on tine police force at Lewiston. Had
we space long story could be told of his
experiences IN his chosen work, dealing
with law breakers. Mr.. Ojlin thinks a
Maine detective service would be good
thing; same thing in kind similar to that of
Massachusetts,. ,ra e. ~ ..rs*--
He has found that in many Of these
small places, Oakland for instance, where
no regular police force is at hand, many
burglaries and other crimes occur which
are never looked up, for the reason
that the person losing property has
not the money to pay officers
for investigating the matter. Mr.. Odlin
thinks that all of the crimes now being
commltted Dy tramps would probably be
lessened. Burglaries, attempts to wreck
trains and many other serious crimes appear
to be on the increase in Maine. Mr.. Odlin
says:
'It will be fruitful day for the regular
officials when the matter of police rewards
are done away with. When a big sum of
money is offered for the arrest of some one
murder or perhaps less serious crime a
horde of would-be catchers flock to the
scene of the event who are more in pursuit
of the reward than the offender. Arrests
are oftimes made which never prove of any
benefit. On the other hand if a capable
officer was procured to investigate the case,
unknown to nearly everybody, better re-
suits would be the outcome"

TRAMPs AND ROBBERS.
Maine Has Been Infested With Them
This Year. NJ
The -Four Prisoners In Jail Deny cempli.
cation In WatsrviIle Car Robbsries.

How many or how few prisoners will be
in the Kennebec Jail from one day to the
other is a problem not readily solved.
A majority Of the fellows now locked ur
in the Jail on the hill, numbering about so,
are tramps who have been arrested on sus-
picion Of being implicated in various crimes.
Never before were there so many tramps in
Maine as there has been this year, and not
in the history of the State has as much
mischief been done by them. All over the
State the people are complaining bitterly
because of the non-enforcement of the
tramp law. This influx Of tramps has been
a special nuisance to trainmen.
In the Jail at the present time are James
Clark, Dan Morgan, Daniel Gregg and
James Lynes, all of whom will appear be-
fore the. grand jury. They are there on
suspicion of being connected with breaking
into Maine Central cars at Waterville, a
few days ago. Clark says that he had
arrived from Ohio day before he was
arrested. He claims that he was en- route to
the Wiscasset & Quebec Railroad looking
for work. Of course he knew nothing of
cars being broken into at Waterville, al.
though he slept in . box car in the yard ,
Sunday night.
Morgan says he came from England ten
weeks ago aud had come from Montreal to
Waterville, and was also on his way to the
new railroad. He has decided English &C.
cent and has a partly bald head. He is
about 80 years of age. Clark. who is in
the cell with him is 10 years old. >f'Sf I
Gregg and Lynes, the remaining two, oc-
cupy cell together and are older than the
Others, probably 50 and 81 years of age re-
spectively. These men were arrested near
Rsadfield. They said that they left Water
vile, Sunday morning., and therefore know
nothing of any cars being broken into at
Waterville. All these fellows follow the
saying that q poor excuse is better than
none.

James O'Brien, who was washed over the

commit suicide. He had calculated to enc
his troubles himself and evidently had
reached the point of despair. As was stat

mate of the National Home, Togus, for &c
years.
He was taken from the water and thence
to the aims house, where he passed Mon
day night and Tuesday he was placed or
board the train for Worcester, Masr
He had been in Augusta waiting
for his pension to come and Monday night
it was received. This afforded funds
to purchase the ticket for Worcester, where
he claimed to have friends. He was accom-
panied to Brunswick by j. ]. Maher, q
chairman of the board of overseers of the
poor. On the way down O'Brien told his
story. He said that he was discharged
from the Home and concluded that the last
resort from trouble was to commit suicide.
He produced the following letter which he
said would explain ALL

James O'Brien. He served from 1861 to

He said that he was in hopes to drift
under the logs and escape being seen. This
letter he left in his coat on the shore before
going into the water. There is reason to
believe that the mans mind is unbalanced.

COLLATERAL INHERITANCE Law.
Judge G. 7. Stevens Of kennebec Probate
Court Has Correctly Solved II.

"The collateral inheritance law has been
settled, for the present at least" said Judge
G. T. Stevens of the Kennebec probate
court to the JOURNAL yesterday. The law
was found to be constitutional at the last
session of the law court at Portland. 1t ii
somewhat peculiarly constructed and the
Interpretation of it varies in different minds
Judge Stevens seems to have hit the key
note and drawn the cord of solution, when
he advocated that the $500 deducted from
taxation should be taken from each bequest.
The various estates which have
came before the probate court
during the past six months have been fig
ured up. This being done no change was
necessary when the decision of the law
court was received.
To give an example few estates are
cited. That Of the late George E. Weeks,
from his bequest to Leslie Weeks the State
will receive tax of $125; from bequest to
Minnie G. Farnham, $l12.7S; from that to
Ida Webster, $3.50; Hattie Holmes,
5000. The late ]. H. Plaisted's estate,
Waterville, will yield the State $532.50 on
his bequest to Florence Plaisted, and on
that to A. H. Plaisted, $2S2.50. Julia E..
johnson, deceased, willed to her adopted
daughter, Henrietta G. johnson Of Augusta,
$44, ,764, upon which the State will get no
tax, the relationship of the adopted daugh-
ter. in the law referring to this matter. is
the same as if she was his own child. Sew
eral other cases of similar character were
mentioned.
