Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they annot reach
the deceased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiaped condition of the mu-
cOus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the Hsult, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases OutOf ten are caused by eatarrh which
is nothing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness caused by catarrh

Wire In DRESSES.

Among ingenious devices for holding
expanded sleeves in the desired shape
an authority on dressmaking, Worth, is
using single threadlike wire stitched
in the upper edge of the sleeve drapery.
This is not put in simple balloon puffs,
but in scarf around the top of close
sleeves, starting in the inside seam,
then curvlng cut to give breadth, droop-
ing to show the sleeve underneath and
sewed to it without meeting The open
draped top is then faced with ribbon
of contrasting color, and the tiny wire
Us stitched along the upper edge in the
seam which adds the facing. Thus a
shot pink and green surah waist has
sleeves of this kind faced with a black
moire ribbon 2 inches wide, holding q
wire in the edge of the top Other trim
ming on the waist is q bib frill of white
guipure falling low from stock of black
moire ribbon and almost reaching belt
of the same
Another novel way of giving breadth
TO new gowns is that of putting slen-
der whalebone in a revers or huge bow
extending straight across from the throat
out on the wide sleeves. This is an ex-
IRENE fancy, somewhat like the incroy-
able revers and bows in the directory
period A straight length of silk four
OF five fingers wide is folded across in
fan plaits, then strapped in the middle,
and whalebone is hemmed in along the
upper edge. When set on at the throat,
the plaits each side of the strap fall
like an open fan from below the whale
bone top, and thus make an effective
Nrapery for the waist. A very rich gown
with waist of white venetian guipure
lace has such a bow of pale blue silk
brocaded with purple violets. The lace
sleeves have wired tops of the silk, and
the skirt is of cloth of the lightest shade

Charles L. Strong, was the first superin-

10 years ago, leaving his wife and four

all her friends, Mrs. Strong determined
to cultivate this ranch. She borrowed
$4,000 and set to work. Every one
thought she was demented and would
die in the attempt. Today 225 of the

At a recent meeting in England Of
the Liberal Federation Of Women such
startling things were told by women
who had been investigating the need Of
municipal reform that their speeches
were constantly interrupted by cries Of
shame upon those responsible for such a
condition of things. Lady Henry Somer-
set, in the course of speech demanding
the appointment of police matrons, said
that she had asked permission to pass a
night in police station, but had been
refused on the ground that the sights
and sounds there were unfit for her to
see and hear. Miss Belgarnie said that
she knew Of woman being brought into
a station in state Of absolute nudity,
and that the inspector in charge was the
first one to think of wrapping her in his
coat Equal need of women as factory
inspectors was demonstrated. - Ex-

Roo MANY ESSAYS at One s,ttinr.

Somebody attended lately O ladies'
luncheon, where, as soon. as the mate

the guests were called upon to listen to
20 papers, read by as many different
authors, upon the question, GLOW Does

Speaking about the entertainment the

saying that at home one read for i'm

no longer to go into society when, the
entertainment consisted only of trivial
conversation. "a party in q parlor all

lectures, seems to be the modern idea of
social edificat;on.
Augustine Birrell has remarked that
In America we seem still to love talk for
its own sake and really enjoy sitting
and being acclaimed at in loud voice,
delighting in the rolling sentence and
the lofty and familiar sentiment. And
it is certainly the fact that let any one
nowadays stand up and read paper or
recite memorized speech, no matter on
what subject everybody listens, every
heart seems refreshed by the overflow.
every intellectual need stilled. Indeed
no little wit, skill. grace and clover

ments, and so long as they go for what
they are worth I am grateful enough,

A FAMOUS WOMAN mooNsH,NsR.
The Death of 1IoiAc MILLER, Once the Head
Of a Desperate Gang.

|
OF a Desperate Gang.
Information has reached this city
through a southern detective that Mollie
| Miller, the woman moonshiner Of Polk
county, Tenn, died few days ago at
her home in the mountains.
Her operations at one time were car
ried on very extensively, and she was at
the head Of gang which was involved
in more bloody fights with revenue Off
GERS than any other organized in the
south. Her first experience was in the
mountains Of Sewer county, where she
assisted her father, Sam Miller. Here
Deputy Marshal Mcpherson led raid
under guide who had grudge against
Miller. In an almost inaccessible gorge
the officers encountered the moonshiners.
A bloody fight followed, and three of
the revenue men were killed, the others
retreating. 1t was noticed that young
girl was one of the party, and it has al
ways been believed that she killed one
of the officers. Another raid was made
in which Miller was killed and his asso-
ciates captured. About this time the
revenue officers received box contain
ing the remains Of the man who had in
formed upon the gang. There was moth
ing to indicate from whom it came, and
the box must have been carried by wag-
on and left at the marshals house.
The woman was not found, and it was
soon known that she had fed. In few
months Polk county, which had always
furnished considerable illicit whisky,
becSne the headquarters of the moon
sinners throughout east Tennessee, and
raid followed raid until there was scarce
Iva cave on the Hiawassee river that had
not been the scene of some bloody fight
between the moonshiners and revenue
men.
1t became known that this woman was
leader, but she was never arrested but
once, and then the proof was such that
she escaped with light sentence. After
the Knoxville Southern railroad was
built the country became too easy of ac-
cess, and with the exception of an occa-
sional petty offender the gang was bro
ken up. The woman moonshiner retired
to small farm, where she remained un-
disturbed, except at two or three times,
when she was taken to Chattanooga as q
witness, when she would collect her fees
and start on walk over the mountains,
a distance of 60 miles, to her home.
1t is supposed that the killing of three
revenue officers and four or five inform
ers can be charged to her directly, while |
the gang of which she was a member
could be held accountable for several |
others, but it was never possible to prove
these charges, and she died without ever
having been tried for Cincinnati
Enquirer.

The Conflict,

The attitude Of the suffragists and
antisuffragists is exemplifed in the Hin
doc tale of the traveller who, seeing an
image Of the diety in the road without
q covering and exposed to the inclemen-
cy of the weather, built little hut of
grass over it, Another man, passing
by the same way and observing the
grass covering, thought that if it should
catch fire the image would be injured,
and accordingly he pulled it down. The
allegory goes ON to say that the deity
was propitiated by both acts because
the intention was good in each case,
and so undoubtedly society will be ben
Gifted by the present conflict of opinion
among women. --Exchalge,

Agitation In England.

The wave Of agitation about woman
suffrage seems to be flooding England
as well as the United States. Large con-
ventions are being held. At one in Chel-
sea, presided over by Lady Carlisle, the
following resolution was passed: "That
this meeting is of opinion that, as the
registration bill introduced by the gov
eminent alters the qualification for the
parliamentary franchise in respect of
rating and residence, it should also al
ter the qualification in respect of sex,
and this meeting rejoices to learn that
an effort will be made to amend the bill
by including provisions for the en-
franchisement of women"

The Woman on a Bicycle.

There is new terror in town.
1t goeth forth like lion, seeking
whom it may run down.
1t is more to be dreaded than car
of Juggernaut, because it can speed
around the square while the Juggernaut
is turning the corner.
1t is more terrible than an army with
banners-yea, than an army of nurses
1t is--what need to say?-the woman
on a bycicle
Pedestrians have some slight protec-
ton against the man on bicycle when
he goes on rampage. They can scurry
out into the gutter and kick mud at
him. They can scramble upon the fence
and hurl hard hunks of language at him.
They can substitute teamster and sick
coal cart ON him. They can lug around
baseball bat walking canes and knock
him out on the fly now and then. They
can even carry their guns at half cock
and bring him down ON the wing, if
quick enough on trigger. But the wom-
an on bicycle is another thing alto
gether. The public has long since recog-
nized the fact that it is at the mercy of
the woman on pavement, especially if
she walk double or triple file, and more
especially if she carry an umbrella. Put
her ON bicycle, and she is simply dew
astation on wheels. With face set as
grimly as fate's, with eyes as unseeing
as the sphinx's, with pedals as relent-
less as the jaws which clamp her tolu,
she swoops down the street, and when
she does let the beasts hunt their holes,
the fowls their roosts, and men and
children hurry to the second stories, if
second stories be in reach.
