bic Reunion in Chicago Memorial Day.
CHICAGO. May IA notable reunion
of the blue and the gray will take
place when the confederate monu-
ment at Oakwoods is dedicated on Ne

1t VIII Try to Conquer China and Make

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE Saliva
ton army is going to try to conquer
the orient and bring the millions of
China into the fold of Christianity.
The leader of the movement is Fong
Foo Sing, young Chinese, who is
a member of the Salvation army in
this city and who is employed as a
typewriter in the office of the War
Cry. He said: 81 expect that the army
at the proper time will send me to
China. To go to China was the object
that really led me into the Salvation
army. I wanted to do something for
my country along army lines. The
late war, 1 believe, has made China
open her eyes. AS a result, the way
will be opened for Christianity, civil
cation and other good things

Deafness CANNOT be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
thediseased portion of theear. There is only
one way to cure Deafness, and that is by con-
stitutienal remedies. Deafness iscansed by
an inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have a rumblng 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 VIII
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inhame1 condition of the mucous sur

Not Do in an Emergency.
Brooklyn Eagle.
Had a few of the cynics on the ques-
ton of advanced women been in Flat
bush avenue car during a heavy shower
a few days ago they would have had
an opportunity of witnessing what, in
the very best sense of the term, an adj
vanced woman is capable of doing,
and, if her example were followed by
those who go to extremes on a jump
without having anything to fall back
on, men would hail her advent as a
truly womanly, independent creature.
But three passengers, one a young
woman, were in the car when, during
the heaviest downpour, Mrs. Truman
]. Backus entered it. When the con-
ductor asked her for her fare Mrs.
Backus discovered that in her desire
to reach the Young Woman's Christian
Association building on time to keep
an appointment she had forgotten her
purse.
Without a moments hesitation and
with the brightest smile she crossed
the car and asked her sister traveller
to pay her fare. Not the slightest
embarrassment accompanied the eX-
plana ton, and in overcoming the bash
fitness of her benefactor Mrs. Backus
placed her under an enduring obliga-
ton for the ten minutes pleasure of
her company, for her beautifully mod
ulated voice and perfect choice of Ian
guage would drive the thought of do
ing a favor from the heart of a nlisogy-
mist, and it is to the Rambler'S ever
lasting regret that he was not the only
other passenger when a woman whose
influence has been so elevating to her
sex needed nickel.
