NEW CURE FOR CONSUMPTION
Paris Academy of Sciences to lnvesti-
gate the DIR. CrOtte Treatment.

After the heart-rending disappoint-
ments which followed the cruel demon
stration of the inefficacy of the method
proposed by great German doctor for
the cure of consumption, every one
must feel more desirous to avoid raising
hopes which may, after all, prove futile.
Nevertheless, the fact that the Acad-
emy of Science in Paris has appointed
a special committee to study the meth
cd for the treatment of consumption
now practiced here by DIR. Crotte
makes it desirable to draw attention
to the subject.
This commission is composed Of M.
Chauveau, one of the most illustriOuS
CT French Psychologists; NJ. d 'Arsonval,
an eminent biologist and a great cleo
trician, and Professor Bouchard, who
is regarded as one of the glories
Of French medicine.
The Academy of Sciences was led to
investigate the matter by DR.. Crottes
assertion that by his treatment he had
within the past few months succeeded
in curing or at least in greatly improv-
ing the condition of 600 out of 500 pa
tients who had followed his treatment.
His patients are said to be almost ex
clusively persons who had been pro-
nounced incurable by hospital doctors.
They are men, women and children be-
longing TO the poorer classes of society,
and consequently living under unfa-
vorable hygienic conditions, whom he
treated gratuitously. His method COM
prises the use of electricity and of anti
septics. In what manner the electric
ity acts is not very clear.
The static electricity which is en-
ployed may, according to the Petit
Journal" which publishes a long arti-
Gle on the subject, kill the microbes by
miniature flash of lightning or an
nihilate them by the ozone it creates
in the diseased tissues. 1t may be
also that it 50 tonsfies the vital func-
tions in general that it gives the hui
man organism sufficient strength to
overcome the invisible enemies invad-
ing the lungs. DR.. Crotte affirms that
the effect of the electricity is to open
the way for the microbe destroying an
tiseptic, and to permit the curative
agent to traverse the skin, muscles and
bones, and reach the microbes in the
cavities of the lungs.
The result of the inquiry instituted by
the Academy of Sciences will be await
ed with considerable interest, not only
by the medical men, but perhaps more
especially by the general public for if
DIR. Crotte's method proves only half
as effectual as he affirms 1t does, it
will be great boon to humanity-Lon-
don Standard.

INAUGURATION WEEK.
Report That Hotels Would Charge Ex-
Orbitant Rates Denied.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IS. - Reports
having been circulated in Philadelphia
and other cities to the effect that Wash
ington hotels had entered into a COM
bination to charge exorbitant rates dur
ing the inauguration week, Chairman
Bell of the Inauguration Committee au-
thorizes an explicit denial of the report
Chairman Bell said: Il have caused a
diligent inquiry to be made of the diff
ferent hotels, and l find the story to
be absolutely untrue. SO far as I can
find, no hotel proprietor proposes to
charge more than the usual rates at
such times.''
All indications point to the largest
crowd ever seen in Washington at any
Inauguration, and preparations are well
under way for the entertainment and
care OF the visitors upon that occasion,
and with the well-known ability Of
Washington to properly handle large
crowds no fears need be entertained
of extortion or lack of accommodations
for all who may come.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
PUBLICITY GIVEN TO A SECRET
WEDDING AT DENVER.
The Bride the Daughter of lowa's
Governor and the Groom flan
of the Same State.

DENVER, Dec. 1S.-A pretty romance
in real life was diclosed in society cir
cles of this city this afternoon, when
the facts concerning quiet Weddlns
ceremony recently performed by the
pastor of a prominent church here was
for the first time given publicity. Inc
contracting parties are none other thail
Miss Mary Lord Drake, only daugh'er
of Iowa's Governor, and George Wooo
Sturdivant, a prominent young pusl-
ness man Of Centerville, Ia.
Miss Drake will be remembered as
the young lady who christened the pat
tleship Iowa when that magnlhceht
vessel was launched at Phlladelphia
late last summer. After her social TIL
umphs in New York and the East 1oi-
lowing the christening ceremony OF the
Iowa, Miss Drake, accompanied py
Miss Carpenter, her firm friend ana
companion and a cousin of the groom
came to Colorado, and after spending
several weeks at the prominent mount
ain resorts the two young ladies' CON
cluded their tour of the mountains Wlth
visit to Colorado Springs, where at
the AntlerS they were joined by MI.
Sturdivant, who came to the state part
ly on business, but principally to vlslt
the sweetheart whom he had grown UP
with from childhood.
Inasmuch as there was some opposl-
ton on the part Of the brides father,
it was decided the time was never more
opportune for wedding ceremony, ana
with this end in view the three young
people came to Denver and quietly reg
istered at a prominent hotel on the
morning Of October 2Sth. On the after
noon of that day a license was pro-
cured, and Rev. c. M. Coburn Of Trinity
pronounced the happy couple man and
wife.
On account of the ambitions enter
tanned by the war veteran and Gov
ernor for the future of his daughter IL
was determined not to acquaint him
with the fact of his daughters mar
riage, but to await until the return or
the party to their native State ana
then tell him, trusting to his paternal
clemency to forgive the impulsive act
of the two young people. This pro-
gramme would have been carried out,
but a few days after the marriage Mrs.
Sturdivant was taken suddenly i'll with
pneumonia, from which she has fully
recovered after a short illness.
Governor Drake arrived in town last
week on a pleasure trip, and was told
Of the marriage. The Governor at first
refused to believe it, but the young
couple produced their marriage certl1l-
cate and the griZZled war veteran
gracefully acknowledged that he had
been out-generaled.
General Drake and his son-in-law left
for the East Tuesday and was followed
to-day by the bride and her companion,
Miss Carpenter Mr.. Sturdivant will
shortly engage in the banking business
in Centerville, where his mother re-
sides. Mr.. Sturdivant Is but "A years
old and is not wealthy, but 1t Is said
will be backed in his banking enterprise
by his father-in-law

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The body of
Alexander Hermann, the magician.
whose death occurred suddenly yester-

Erie road this morning. The body was

rangements were made for it's removal
to the Masonic Temple in this city.
Professor Hermann was a Mason of
high degree, and it is probable that the
funeral will take place from the Temple
or Sunday afternoon. The burial will
probably be in Woodlawn Cemetery.

There has been, and still Is, :. great
deal of sickness IN the vicinity of Lake
Hanska and it would not occasion sur
prise if the source of the disease were
traced to the shallowness of the lake and
the unhealthy evaporations from its
sluggish waters. Doctors have predict
ed an increase of sickness there, and we
probably have the heavy rain to thank
for the non appearance of a typhoid
fever plague. And still the carcasses of
dead fishes continue to burden the shores.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When the tube gets
infamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
