Deafne.. Can,s he 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 con- stitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an infamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling sound or lm- perfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness tcaused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

A GasIs of Rare Wine.

There lived in tho vicinity of Bergerao parish priest whose parishioners decided upon getting up a subscription to present him with n cask of wine. One supplied the cask, and each of tho rest came and poured in two liters of tho produce of his vineyard. One day our cure invi d somo of the subscribers to dinner, in order to taste the beverage, which formed com pound of all the wines grown in tho dis trict. The servant went to turn the tap, and came back with dccanter full of wa ter in her hand "Whatever is that?" was the general cry. "This is the wine out of the barrcl." His reverence could not mako it out. It was altogether puzzling. Tho guests were splitting with laughter. Each one had thought to himself that the pres ence of two liters of water would not be detected in a butt of wine. but, as it hap pcned, they had all acted on the same idea -Sa'- ir~ss Ar-cnaut

to do something before 1t is too late to ap- ply a remedy to the sore so threatening in | it's aspect
 But am puzzled, and think the legisla- E tnre will be puzzled also, to understand what other system of convict management will be less expensive than the present one.
 It is fact which cannot be controverfed, tbat any method of convict treatment that does not provide for the maintenance, care and safety of it's cri mnals is not system, but plan inviting abuse in its direction, and it is extremely doubtful whether such plans can ever be made submissive to the elements of justice, much less humanity, towards convicts, many of whom are more criminals by the force of circumstances than by disposition or nature. This may be eminent of my own, butt believe 1t was verified under the old plan of the state, and would be az ain under similar method Of criminal treatment.
 The Advertiser thinks something should be done, and done promptly, and so We all think, but not in the old way.
 There is a better way, and the present legislature can understand 1t and act wisely if it will on this question. Any new system will involve mora expense, whether the state pays 1t or not. That will only complicate the question. h It's present condition the problem is working out its own destiny, and l, for one, firmly believe if no radical changes are made In the present system in the next two years the people from one end of the state to the other will regard the law of 1893 on the convict management of Alabama as one of the wisest pieces of legislation enacted for the treatment of criminals that has ever characterized the legislation of the state.
 In conclusion I wish to add that do not know the personal opinions of the mcm- bers of the board of managers beyond their acts in the discharge of their duties in pro- noting the success of the law and the best interests of the slate in carrying out its provisions.
 My own term of office expires the last of February, ana should the board be con- tinued it is not likely that will be con- nected with it; hence feel that l can say with perfect propriety that the convict question does not appear to my mind half the vexed question that some seem in- clned to consider it. It may, at one time, have been an issue very much vexed, but since then it appears to me to have been very greatly sim plified. Whether this con dition is 10 continue or not remains yet to be seen. However, do not hesitate 10 say that if the present legislature pulls do1n the system established by the law of 1893, my convictions are the problem will Der come grayer than ever before, and tue dis astrous effect of such legislation will be felt by the people of the state for the next ten vars GEO. k.

Overdue Steamer Arrives at Port
Townsend.
SOME BAD GALES WEAFHERED
The British Steamer Strathnevis Sighted
Between the Sound and
Yokohama.

San Francisco. Dec. I.-ReinSurance
on the overdue steamer Gorsedd was
quoted at so per cent this morning and
three hours after the posting OF the
quotation a dispatch was received from
Port Townsend, Wash, stating that
the Gorsedd had arrived all right The
arrival created great excitement, for
of all the overdue vessels the GOrsedd
was the last looked for. She was AZ
days from Singapore or about 20 days
overdue. The reinsurance on the Evan
dale jumped to 40 per cent today. The
British ship Lord Brassi and the steam
er EStadel of the northern fleet are
causing the gravest anxiety by their
long stay.
About 500 miles east of the Asiatic
coast the GOrSedd ran into the latter
end of the storm which was moving
eastward and for three days the effects
Of the gale were felt. The Gorsedd was
in ballast, high out Of the water and the
mountainous seas swept over her decks.
The GOrsedd was tossed about on the
seas like a chip and the blowing out Of
the boiler tubes necessitated much re-
pairing and navigating to prevent the
ship from being disabled.
Had the steamship not been of the
staunchest character, new and care
fully ma? aged, she would undoubtedly
have been wrecked said Captain Mead.
But, as it was, the dan &c is nominal.
Strong head winds were met during the
entire voyage"
Captain Mead says he passed 100
miles south of the locality where the
Strathnevis is in a disabled condition
as reported by the bark John Gamble,
which arrived at Vancouver, B. c., to-
day from Java. The Gorsedd did not
sight a vessel during the voyage.
