only one way to cure deafness, and that

Is caused by an inflamed condition OF the

When this tube ia inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the Inflammation

"A correspondent suggests that while
our legislature is in the reform business,
that they pass q law to protect the bull
frog. The frog is much better eating
than the mud carp, and il costs man
$25 to jab one OF them with a pitchfork.
II would be in order to pass a law that
the frog should not be taken in any OF
the swamps or streams above tide water,
except by hook and line. Some may say
that the frog will not bite tho hook well,
neither will the shad, but the shsd is pro.

by drawing the line ut tide water, the
sporting men and fishermen of the lower
Delaware will have the usual advantage.

Scattered over this county there are
several young men who report for the
daily papers. Not satisfied with sending
news from their own localities, they pick
up items from the county papers, alter them
to suit their purpose and send them in as
original. Some OF these items are ex-
ceedingly stale, and some of them after
}"doctoring" are quite incorrect. As an
instance, four weeks ago we published an
account of the offer to Bishop McFaul, OF
farm at Oak Dale, four miles from this
city, for church purposes, by lady OF
Phila. A week or two after that Flem-
ington reporter telegraphed the same item,
locating the farm smear Pennington"
which II is not. Last Wednesday, some
Frenchtown fraud telegraphed to the Phila.
Inquirer the same story-four weeks old =
locating the farm near Clinton.

Mrs. Catherine O'Leary, of Chicago,
died Wednesday. She was owner of the
fractions COW, which in barn in the rear
of No. 1877 Dekoven street, on memoir
able night in October, 1871, kicked over
lamp and started blaze which cost
Chicago 800, 900, 900. Since the night
OF that historic confiagration Mrs. o.
Leary's life was embittered by the popu-
lar belief that she indirectly was RESPONSE
BILE for the loss OF life and enormous de-

story vigorously, and before the commit

DANGER OF FOREIGN ALLIANCES


The resolution introduced in the
lower house of the Illinois legislature,
requesting Illinois girls to marry no
man that is not citizen OF the United
States, while, perhaps, rather far
fetched furnishes nevertheless the taxi
marriages Of men and women of diff
ferent nationalities may be expected to
result in unhappinesss, unless, perhaps.
in cases where the cosmopolitan char
acter of the parties to the contract
enable them to make the necessary
allowances for dissimilarity Of tastes
and aspirations.
As in the formation of character, educa-
ton and environment are large and es-
senHal factors, so in matrimonial alli-
auces grave consideration should be
given to race peculiarities and the home
associations OF those who -enter into
such contracts. The experience Of
American heiresses who have
girls who have married men Of other
nations with love as the moving power
on both sides, abundsntly support the
assertion that it Is far better for the
women of America to unite themselves
for life with the untitled noblemen Of
this country than to grasp at the gaudy
symbols OF dukedorh, or succumb to
the wiles and Establishments of hand
some foreigner.
If examples were wanted of mistakes
in such matrimonial ventures. many
might be cited, but it Is useless to ex-
pose the skeletons in 80 many close "a

TIE NOMINATION FOR COUNCIL

The recent nomination of candidates
for the City Council by the Democratic
ward primaries has again demonstrated
the fact that it is the aim and desire of
the Democratic voters to select good
men. For reasons we'll known the
Third ward nominated no candidates.
That ward is hopelessly Republican,
and when party lines are drawn over
there the Republicans always win with
hands down. In the First and Second
wards the Democratic nominees are IS
good as elected. Messrs. II. D. Guy
and Charles D. Fox are both good men,
and the people OF that ward are to be
congratulated on their selection.
In the Second ward Messrs. James R.
Terry and j. Archer Wilson will make
able representatives. Mr.. Terry is en-
old Councilman and has been an active
and useful member.
The Fourth ward may be close, yet
when the full Democratic vote is polled
that ward is safely Democratic. Messrs.
w. B. Stevenson and A. w, Lescure
will stand good show OF being elected.
Mr.. Stevenson has been elected twice,
but this Is Mr.. Lescure's first appear
ance before the people. The Fifth
ward Democrats have nominated Messrs
Z. L. Slaughter and w. R. Colbourne
They are both good men and should
receive the support of the people OF
that ward.
