A P~rofitless investment.

About d year ago Gus GodchauS
subscribed to tho stock of the Fidelity
Trust and Loan Co., of Mobile, Ala:
Having paid in 1854 on the stock and
there being due the accumulated inter-
est additional he drew a draft on the
Fidelity Trust and Loan Co. through
the Bank of Abbeville, for the $S4 and
the interest accumulations due accord
ing to article 6 of the bylaws.
Much to his surprise, he was notified
the other day that the draft had gone
to protest and that the Fidelity claim
ed he was only entitled to $75, and as
the protest amounted to $2.54, Mr.:
G~odchaux's account stands:
Amount invested .......... $$S4.0U
Net amount reeeived.......... 1850
Amount lost $ll.50
This is the actual amount in cold
cash which Mr.. Godchaux is out of
pocket in this transaction, to say moth
ing of the loss of interest.
Now just by way of comparison we
give below the results of an Investment
of equal amount in the Abbeville
Building and Loan Association Limit
ed:
Had Mr.. (1odchaux purchased @
of stock in series S. of the Alb
beviHe Building & Loan in January
1895 ne would have paid in during
the year $l3 per share a total of $z8.
The accued profits amounted to $40
per share, a total of 5000, Of this
amount he could have withdrawn 10
per cent, $5.04 which added to amount
invested $7S would make $S3. In other
words an investment in the local ASSOC
would have yielded him aOoG6

Catholic Winter School of
America.

Prospects are bright for the success
OF the Catlo lie Winter School, whose
Inauguration last year was by such
large attendance and general interest
of all classes and sects. The session of
the present winter, announced at the
meeting in the archaishop's parlors
last evening as commencing on the
first Thursday after Mardi Gras, prom
ises to be even more brilliant in char
acter ofthe lectures and the identities
OF the lecturers than that of last win
ter.
During the interim between last ses-
sion of the Winter School and the APP
preaching interest has not tagged
and exertions in its behalf have con-
tinued %unabated, SO that a great many
persons, in addition to those who were
interested in the institution last year,
will this year give it their careful and
cordial attention. The fact is now
better known that the Catholic Winter
School is Jnsectarian, and there is
strong e3emplification of this in the
Identities of several of the lecturers
whose faith is not that of the Roman
Catholic Church.
The general meeting of the patrons
and officers of the Catholic Winter
School, held last evening in the parlors
of Archbishop Janssens, was well at
tended. 1t vas called to order at 5
o'clock by the archbishop himself, who
called to the chair Prof. Alcee Fortier
the eminent, scholar and member of
the faculty of Tulane University. Mr..
Alfred II. Flemming, the secretary,
was at his post and gave the meeting
his usual careful attention.
Officers were selected as follows:
President, Nj. j. W. Fairfax; vice pres
ident, Prof. Alcee Fortier; secretary,
~
Mr.. Alfred II. Fleming; treasurer, Mr..
Geo. w. Young. Mr.. |. II. Stauffer,
formerly PRESIDENT was elected second
honorary president; q position created
in especial honor of the gentleman and
in recognition of his valuable..and ZEAL
Gus services to the Catholic Winter
School.
Father Nugent, chairman of the
on studies reported twenty
three lectures provided for to date.
Among the lecturers whose services
have thus far been enlisted are Bishop
Bishop Spaulding, Prof. Brown
.Ayres of Tulane University. Miss
Gatesman of Boston, who will lecture
III the "Women of Shakespeare;;,
Father Delaney, Father Brennan and
Henry Austin Adams.

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con-
dltion of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inilamed you have a runibling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine eases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One One Hundred Dol
lars for any S of deafness Caused
by catarrhl that cannot be cured by
