Deafness Cannot 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 infiamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tub gets
infiamed. you a a 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 be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition Of the mucous surfaces.

rhoh II lNDiAN TEhhITOR1.
To the Editor of the Intclligencer
In your issue for last week, as a news
item, you printed: Lexington has a
citizen who is thirty-four years old and
has never tasted a drop of intoxicating
liquor, and who is as ignorant OF the
taste OF whiskey as a new born babe. This
is all wool and a yard wide, and we defy
any own in America to beat the record"
The writer is a stranger among you, only
here On a visit but he is very sorry for the
condition of morals among you, II such Is
the truth. IL SO, where are you churches,
your Sunday schools, your Young Men
Christian Associations, your Women's
Christian Temperance Unions, and your
Christian families? And what have they
been doing, and what are they now doing,
and what Is their influence? For shame
on such 4 condition of society exhibited
by that paragraph! 1t ought to be just
the other way, and the one man who
knows what the taste of liquor is ought
TO be a curiosity and the exception, and
be exhibited in a tent at ten cents a sight
as the greatest show on earth-the eighth
| wonder Of the world.
To show you that you can easily find
many towns in America that can beat
your Lexington record, and not in any
spirit OF boasting or self praise, allow me
to state that the writer is a native of the
''wild and woody" Indian Territory, and
where he grew up in that ''land Of the
lawless," and has never had any other
home, n is now in his SEVENTEEN year,
and he tells you he has never tasted, AZ a
beverage, any whiskey or intoxicating
liquor. He never used tobacco in any
shape; he never played any kind Of a
game with cards, and he never danced
q set on the floor. / don't Know whether
you call this any more than "all wool n
a yard wide," but it Is the honest truth in
the sight of God. Now bring out your
world beater. Respectfully,
A. Il. STAINER.

ernment OF London 10 even now being
shaken by It. What Is claimed to be
the best system of municipal govern
ment in the world (the London coun-
cils) has not been equal to settling the
question of decent streets and decent
amusements.
Some of the shrewdest Tammany
officials expect to see the new admin
lstration make failure Of Its attempt
to purify the city. We shall see. Re-
corder Goff will certainly be able to
attend to the criminal part of the pro-
gramme. While Rev. DR.. Parkhurst
instituted the war upon vice, 1t lis gem
orally agreed that the success of the
attack has been due to the genius and
indefatigable labor of John w. Con.
1t is probable that the new city gov
ernment may wisely conclude that
some evils are capable only of regula-
ton, and proceed to those larger ques-
tions that build up civic virtue by pro-
noting order, thrift and local I'M
provement. 1t is very certain that
more good can be done by reforming
the tenement system Of this city than
by pursuing the miserable victims OF
poverty with the severity Of the law.
The success Of the reform movement
now depends upon scientific rather
than upon Puritanical methods.

Persons Who See Ghosts.

Have you ever seen a ghost? Such
In simple words, is the extremely in
teresting question addressed by the
Society Of Psychical Research to some
1900 persons, male and female. The
results are included In "a Report on
the Census Of Hallucinations," pub
lished in the latest edition Of the pro-
ceedings of the society. The question,
of course, was framed In much more
elegant and detailed form than the
somewhat abrupt inquiry into which
most people will translate 1t, but whe-
ther we call "the spook" Giving be-
ing" or ''inanimate object" it comes
to pretty much the same thing, so
long as there is no external physical
cause to account for the phenomenon.
And now for the results. Out of the
1900 persons interrogated, 1876 an
swered in the negative, leaving only a
meagre 9 per cent. of people who had
been favored by extraordinary expert
ences.
This is at least consolatory for those
who still believe in the sanity of the
human race. But the relative propor-
ton of men and women who saw Wis
ions and dreamed Is still more remark
able. Only $50 males answered in the
affirmative, but rs rany as 1,O29 fe-
males. And yet there are some peo-
pie who get angry If 1t be asserted that
women are more credulous and hys-
terical than men. Clearly there is
some work for the New Woman" to
do in the conversion Of her neurotic
sisters.-London Telegraph.

In three weeks of the election, there
was apparently good ground for the
confidence of the Tammany leaders
that the power of the historic organ
ization could not be overthrown. 1t
was dissensions within the organiza-
tion that paved the way for Tammany
defeat. Like other political machines
built up by the spoils system, the Tam
many organization is strong only when
successful. The effect of the Lexow
Investigation was to weaken the pres
tige of the organization with many of
its most respectable members. Mayor
Gilroy became in a measure the head
Of this faction Of purists, who desired
to rid Tammany of the elements that
had brought it to disgrace. This led
to an intense civic conflict in the face
Of the enemy, and with the knowledge
that the organization was divided
against itself there set in a consider
able stampede among the rank and
file. Many lesser candidates proceed
ed to make deals with the object of
saving themselves, and so the great
political machine that achieved Sc
notable a victory last fall went tc
pieces this year like a panic-stricken
army.
Mayor-elect Strong has an opportun.
ity presented to him for useful public
service that no citizen has ever before

important questions of public improve.

branch of politics. 1t is a great res.
possibility that faces the new Mayor
as the chances for blunders are quite
as large as the opportunities for USE
ILLNESS. The causes of public dissatis-
melton with Tammany did not relate
entirely to questions of misgovern-
ment. 1t is generally conceded that
the recent city government has been
able and successful in many directions.
New York, however, has in recent
years become the home of thousands
OF the most oppressed and INDECENT
human beings in the whole world.
The problem Of assimulating this vast
mass of indigestable European wretch
edness has not been successfully met
by Tam1nany. 1t has been a fostering

tyranny and corruption is of foreign
origin. The overthrow Of Tammany
is. therefore, direct blow at methods
that have tended constantly to make
the government of this city foreign
rather than American.
The influences with which Tammany
failed to successfully cope remain to
be dealt with. 1t is a deep and treach-
erous problem. 1t demands a system
