Deafness cannot he Cnred

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 infamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tnhe is infamed you have the rnmb.
ling 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 for
ever: nine times out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundsed Dollars for
any case of Deafness (cansed by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

is that Mr.. Harmon is a corporation
lawyer. Mr.. Cleveland has made con-
siderable money as corporation law
yer himself, and he doubtless expects
to resume that occupation after March
4th, 1897, which accounts in measure,
for his partiality for corporation law
yers. It is understood that one of Mr..
Cleveland's objects in taking Mr.. Har-
mon into the cabinet is the hope of
placating Senator Brice, who has not
been friendly towards the administra-
tion since the tariff fight in the Senate.
The Cuckoo Democrats praise the
new appointments, but ex-Representa-
tive Conn, of Indiana, an anti-Cleve-
land Democrat, voiced the opinion of
many Democrats when he said of
them: "Both appointments are char
acteristics of the President. One is
the promotion of the most unpopular
man in the cabinet, and the other the
exaltation of a comparatively obscure
attorney to one of the most important
Offices in the country. 1t goes without
saying that there will be no change in
the conduct of either the State Depart
ment or the Attorney Generals Office.
Possibly in the absence of the Presi-
dent. the individuality of Mr.. Olney
may make itself manifest, as did that
of Secretary Gresham in the Alliance
affair, while the President was duck
hunting. But it may be expected that
trusts will thrive and jingoes will
howl without in the least disturbing
the complacency OF the administration,
which, of course, distinctly and ex-
clusively means President Cleveland"
After all the personality of the cabi-
net means nothing, as they are all
merely clerks to carry out Mr. Cleve-
lands orders.

Of Interest
.....TO Farmers

T. Romie Strong, who is one of tht
largest fruit growers of Kent county
Md, recently told the "Kent News
that he had received lesson in peach
orchard cultivation which will be oi
special value to him. He began plough.
ing the orchards about the time ot
blooming and was stopped in the mid.
die of the Smock variety by wet
weather. An examination now shows
serious injury to the crop in the
ploughed section. To the very row in
the smock variety where the burroughs
were turned the peaches are dead,
while the same variety Immediately
adjoining, unploughed, are promising
good crops. This proves conclusively
the danger Of late spring plowing in
peach orchards.
"The rosebug is damaging peaches
to an alarming extent. ."-Herald.
For several years past the rosebug
has eaten few peaches when he had
the opportunity, but never damages the
crop. The rosebug does not destroy
one peach when the curculio stings
hundred, and both together make no
perceptible impression on a tree that
isfull of young fruit. Peach growers
no longer consider the rosebug as an
enemy of any Importance to anything
other than grapes and roses. Milford
NeaUs and Advertiser.
The strawberry crop is very short
one this year all over the Middle and
Southern States. The cool wet weather
of May rusted most of the vines, and
the scorching suns week ago prema-
turely ripened much of the fruit. The
crop in Delaware is not over half the
usual yield per acre. Prices have
however, been good. The bulk of Del
aware berries has been shipped this
week and sold in the cities from 7 to
IL cents per quart. Next week will

The big Democrats are trying to
make the public realize that ex-Sec.
retary Whitney is playing his cards,
not as an assistant to Mr.. Cleveland,
but as an independent candidate for
the Democratic presidential nomina-
tion. Even Senator Smith, of New
Jersey, who was Senator Gormon's
lieutenant in all the fights made upon
the administration policy during the
last session of Congress by the German
Brice combination, seems to be in the
deal. At any rate he has taken occa-
sion, while in Washington, to state
very positively that Whitney was out
for the nomination; also to give Whit
ney lot of "taffy." Some people are
of the opinion that the prominent anti
Cleveland Democrats are going to
make use. of Whitney to beat Mr..
Cleveland at his own game, and that
having bound him by promise, which
he thought he was perfectly save in
making, to support Whitney's candi-
dacy, they are now going to work with
the idea of nominating Whitney on
the first ballot.

HOLDRIDGE RESIGNS.
AS GENERAL PASSENGER AGENT
OF THE GREAT WESTERN.
HIS GOOD RAILROAD RECORD
IL Ranks High on Western Roads
He Refuses to Make Public
His Reason.

Charles H. Holdridge, general
agent OF the passenger department
of the Chicago Great Western, has
resigned, and his resignation will
take effect on April 30 Mr.. Hold
Ridge came TO the Northwest over
six years ago and after brief ex-
perience with the Minneapolis & st.
Louis, was appointed to his present
position, which he has held con-
itinuously since. Prior to that he
was with the Rock Island for six
years and with the Pennsylvania for
thirteen years. This long service
proves that he must have COM
menced his life work as a railroader
ait a very early age. Indeed, he is
ranked among the best railroad men
in the passenger departments of the
Western roads.
Mr.. Holdridge will not talk about
his plans, but it is stated on the
best of authority that he is about to
accept good railroad position. 1t
would go without saying that one so
popular and so successful would not
be long without location, and it is
Stated that his resignation is for the
purpose of taking the new position.
His successor with the Chicago
Great Western has not yet been an
nounced. In fact his resignation has
not yet been officially given out.

TREE SUPERINTENDENTS.
Secretary Barrett Makes n Su--
gestiOn for Arbor Day.

Sest1On for ArbOF Day.
To the Editor of the Globe.
In a very expressive manner the gov
ernor of Minnesota has appointed Fri
day, the 18th of April, 1895, for Arbor
day. How shall we best observe it?
1t is comparatively an easy and de-
lightful task to awaken public enthu-
siasm on the occasion, and get the
trees planted, but to preserve them
from the ravages of wind, drouth and
cattle through the entire season is
duty often neglected. System is
needed. Where a school or any other
public institution proposes to observe
the day, tree superintendent should
be chosen to manage the whole pro
cedure, who should also keep a regis
try of the tree, together with the name
assigned to each, perhaps on framed
map, hung up in the public library
room. He should also have charge of
the after care of the trees at the public
expense. Their is no binding law in
this matter, but it does seem that we
can give our services from very love
of, trees and the good that we can
do.
I would indeed highly appreciate and
reciprocate the courtesy by eyery
means in my power, If each tree super
intendent would report to me the spe-
cies and number of trees and flower
ing shrubs planted, and, on or before
the 1st of December. registry of the
trees preserved in healthy condition, to
be incorporated in the annual report
of the state forestry association.
