Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inilamm =
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrb,
which is nothing but an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by

ALL MINES WILL BE BUSY.
Happy News for the Scores Of Thousands
Employed in Them.

William Connell, one of the largest
of the individual coal operators in
Pennsylvania, said to-day, concerning
the recent advance in the prices OF
anthracite coal, that it was due to
the increased demand for that article
from all parts of the country. He
said there would be another advance
shortly, but prices would not go much
higher. Mr.. Connell said this pre-
sent demand and the increased prices
would keep the mines working almost
steadily the remainder of the year.
Thus far only I5,ooo,ooo tons have
been mined, to which the June out
put would add 5000, 1000 tons leaving
26,ooo,ooo tons to bring the total
output for the year up to the 45,ooo,-
900 tons mined and marketed in
1895. This will give the miners
about all they can do, and the result
will be an unusually busy time about
all the mine workings in the ant "a
cite coal fields of the State.

Recently we have become persuad
ed that some people talk too much.
The busiest man of our acquaintance
and the man who accomplishes the
most work is man who talks the
least and uses his time to advantage.
He doesn't lose much time telling
what he is going to do. We know a
number of people who waste more
time in hunting something to do than
this man uses in doing something.
While there is certainly no harm in
talking at Christian Endeavor meet
ings and prayer meetings generally,
pratical results are always in order.
Better take an inventory of your
deeds and then 60 off on short
vacation till you've done something.
Try it. The statistics will be inter
esting.

Editing paper is nice business.
If we publish joke, people say we

matter, they say we don't give them
enough selections. If we give them
selections we are to lazy to write. lIf
we give man "puff," we are partial.
If we compliment the ladies, the men
are jealous; if we don't, we're publish

are too proud to mingle with the
common herd:" if we are on the

we do not pay for 'em. Now, what

Advice to UyClers.

The breaking of spoke is one Of
the most annoying accidents that can
befall rider, especially if he is any
distance from home, as the swapping
of one spoke generally means the
weakening Of the wheel which soon
rides untrue, and after the strain of
riding rs put on for any length of time
the rim or tire begins to rub up against
the side of the fork, which is both
provoking and dangerous. When
this accident cannot be properly re-
paired at once, the most effective ex.
pedient, although heroic measure, is
to cut out the spoke connecting the
same part of the rim with the opposite
side Of the hub. The rim will then
spring back sufficiently to allow the
rim to clear the fork and if caution
against hard usage is taken the wheel
may be ridden with perfect safety.

CONSIDERS HIMSELF DEAD.
Mckinney, Who Has Exceeded Three Score
and Ten, Will Have a Funeral.

Lorenzo Dow Mckinney, one of
the best known farmers of Scioto
county, Ohio, an Andrew Jackson
Democrat and a member Of the Scioto
county jury commission, has issued
the following notice:
The funeral sermon of the under
signed will be preached at Fallen
Timber on Sunday, June 2I, at a:3o
p. m.
L. d. Mckinney.
81 am not doing this for fun," said
Mr.. Mckinney. "The Bible says
that the days of man are three-score
and ten years. l have always said
that if | lived to be SO years old l
would consider myself dead and a
funeral would naturally follow.
81 will be 50 years old or June II
and will have my funeral sermon
preached by Rev. Forest E. Evans,
of Pride, Ross county, on the first
Sunday following"
"Any time l may live after June II
l shall not consider as mine. 1t will
only be borrowed time"
Mr.. Mckinney is a well-preserved
old man and would easily pass for 60.
His wife died about 10 years ago.
"If my health remains as good as
at present." said Mr.. Mckinney, 81
may conclude to begin second life
and get married again"
Large crowds from the city are al
ready arranging to attend the funeral
services. After the sermon there will
be barbecue, at which Mckinney
will preside.

ltmay come to pass, says an ex-
change, that the shortened skirt SO
comfortable and becoming to the
bicyclists, will revolutionize the street
wear of the working woman, who is
compelled to trudge along either
through dust or mud. Such revolu.
tion would work much good in many
ways. We have become accustomed
to the blooming sleeves, hats wide
enough to accommodate a dozen or
more birds, several dozen flowers and
other decorations, and it would only
require a short time to become used
to seeing the genter sex appearing in
shorter skirts. Such an innovation
would be greatly appreciated by the
ladies. 1t is not right that they
should be asked to sop up the mud
from our streets with long skirts or
sweep clean our stairways with their
long dresses. The short skirt would
be much more comfortable. Look
at the workingman how easily he gets
along in wet weather. He simply
rolls up his pantaloons and they are
high and dry out of the mud, while
the workingwoman is not nearly so
fortunate. She must lift her skirts to
keep them out of the mud. Every
thing is in favor of the shortened
skirt and there are few women who
would not welcome the change and
be happy in the thought that they
could enjoy more freedom and en-
dure less exhaustion in such attire.

Up to date, about ten billion
prayers have been offered by the
Christian Endeavorers for the con,
version of Robert G. Ingersoll. He
states that so far none of the prayers
have had the desired effect, but he
thanks the Endeavorers for their
kindness. That may be irony, but it
shows the progress of civilization. A
hundred years ago Colonel Ingersoll
would have been burned at the stake.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Superintendent Hathaway's Trouble
From a Hyena Bite.
Blood Poisoning Set In But Good Treat
ment Saved HIS Arm.

Superintendent Hathaway of Roger
williams Park, was down town today and
told The NEWS man what narrow
escape from death he had as result OF
being bitten by the playful baby hyena
at the park, the announcement OF which
was exclusively made in Tuesdays NEWS.
The little beast was brought Up on bot
tie an Is SO tame that II has been
allowed the freedom of the park, practi-
cally, for long time. Visitors have fear
lessly layed with IL and children especi-
ally enjoy poking sticks at IL TO see the
hyena grab them and shake them like q
bull terrier.
Monday, Mr.. Hathaway who has played
with the animal many times, was fool
ing with 1t when suddenly the middle
finger Of the left hand got between the
hyena's teeth. "Baby" wouldn't let go,
evidently taking the bnger for a stick,
SO Mr.. hathaway kept slapping the
caused the hyena &c twist his head around
SO that he tore the iingsr badly.
Blood poisoning set in, and II required
oil the physicians skill to prevent Its
spreading up the arm, which would mean
amputation, IL not death. MIR. Hathaway
has been unable TO sleep until last night
and he says the pain was excrucasing.
III he had had stick or club he could
have made the hyena loosen its hold
sooner than he did. The superintendent
thinks II was very lucky that the acci-
dent happened to him rather than to an
outsider, and be has instructed the keep
er not TO let the hyena out again without
carefully watching II. Mr.. Hathaway Is
not frightened of wild animals by any
means, and he said he put bis hand in
the lions mouth this morning just the
same.

bright idea struck the policeman. lie
would play the good Samaritan and at
the same time help himself. A suit OF
clothes which he had made had been
completed but still remained at the
tailor's. These he wanted taken to his
home. He gave the young man an order
wife telling her to put the young man
up, givo him a good supper ana allow
him 10 occupy the spare bed room during
the night. Armed with these the young
man departed, after thanking his bene-
factor very profusely. He delivered the
note TO the tailor just as the latter was
closing his shop for the night, and was
given the policeman's new suit, for
which the latter had paid $40. TIE other
note was not delivered. Neither were the
clothes nor was the spare bed room occu-
pied. The fact is. the young man with
the glib-tongue and the dying sister was
never heard OF again.
