Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, ana when it
is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition
hearing will Ue destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.

that at certain other precincts In this

fact which all good Democrats depiore,

A Virginia Exhibit.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Dear Sir.-Do you not think II .
good plan, while the Legislature Is
In session, TO start a crusade which
VIII compel II to see that Virginia has an
exhibit OF Its reources at all future in
dustrlal expositions h Id In this country?
The Atlanta Exposition has resulted In
the settlement In Georg OF 1000 Orleans
alone. with ether Southern States to
hear from. 1t seems TO me that the
colonization OF 1000 people should pay
the State for a small outlay necessary
for an exhibit. We say we want immi-
grafton: and published books telling OF
our resources. and still We have let two
of the grandest opportunities we shall
ever get slip US. Our exhibit at Chicago
was a discredit to the State. and but
for the women Virginia would not have
been known to Atlanta would sug-
gest that the Legislature make an ap-
preparation land a LIBERAL one at thsp.
and put the collection OF an exhibit into
the hands OF the immigration agents OF
the railroads; have 1t nicely prepared, ana
on permanent exhibition here. except
when We are exhibiting II at some expo
sition.
Don't let us make the mistake we did
at Chicago and build a structure in
which 10 show our relics. but show our
products IN competition with other coun-
tries, and talk up for our State I'm getting
immigration. Put the control OF the ex-
hibit In the hands OF men who have the
interest OF the State at heart. and not
have II dominated by politics.
1t is very well to publish the books.
but prove your words by showing the
products. There Is not a lover OF Vir-
ginia's prosperity who will not be In
favor OF the Legislature making good
appropriation for this purpose. We have
been dead long cough; II Is time the
resurrection came.

DEATH IN FLAMES.
A DISTRESSING TRAGEDY IN ALBE-
MARLE COUNTY YESTERDAY.
A store and other Property De-
stroyed by Fire, and Young Man
Loses His Life--CouId Not Ne
Aroused.

CHARLOTTESVILLE VA. January
7-(Special)-At Free Union. this county.
this morning. fire occurred. whereby a
young man lost his life in shocking
manner, and a large storehouse. with
dwelling above containing a large stock
of general merchandise. a corn-crib con-
tanning lis barrels OF corn. and other
valuable property. were destroyed.
The young man who lost his life was
Mr.. Thomas Thompson, clerk for Mr.. w.
A. White, Jr.. who owned the store.
Between and o'clock Mr. White dis
covered his store to be in light blaze.
Fastening thither. he gathered a guam
tity of stones and other missiles. which
he hurled into the upper-story windows
with the view to awakening his clerk.
should he be in the building. The young
man was not seen to emerge from his
room, but 1t was hoped. until search
of the ruins was made. that he had es-
capped.
HIS REMAINS FOUND.
AS soon as the debris could be entered
this was done. and the charred remains
of young Mr. Thompson were found in
the ruins under the room he had occu-
pisd as a sleeping apartment
1t was at first thought that some one
robbed the store, murdered the clerk.
and then fired the building to conceal
the crime. But Mr.. Bing. of FREQ
Union, who was in the city this after
noon, said that the idea Of robbery or in
cendiarism was dispelied by the fact that
the unfortunate young man when found
had money on his person; the safe had
not been opened, and the house had
not been entered. except by Mr.. Thomp-
son and young man who was with him
until about 9 o'clock. There Is no
theory as to how the fire originated The
building took fire In part removed from
the store.
GREAT SUFFERER.
With regard to the difficulty of awak-
ening Mr.. Thompson, II Is known that
he suffered frequently with neuralgia,
and last evening was severely affected.
The young man who left him about .
o'clock testified that Thompson was suf-
fering very much, and had probably
taken chloroform or laudanum for relief.
so that when he was partially aroused
by Mr. White he was not able to leave
the building.
WORD TO CHARLOTTESVILLE
About 4 O'Clock this morning mes
senger arrived here In search OF Dr. T..
NJ Dunn. the uncle OF the unfortunate
young man. The messenger reported
that the house was about consumed.
and that the corn-crib, situated short
distance from the store. was burning.
DIR. Dunn had few minutes before
left for Montreal. but a telegram was
sent TO him and he reached here on the
next train. and is now at the scene OF
distress.
