Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
tirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de.
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness tcaused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall S
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

LIKE 4 WARSHIP,
The Bermuda Sails From
Jacksonville, Fla,
For Cuba.
CARRIES 400 MEN.
IF THEY sUCCEED IN LANDING THEIR
CARGO, THE CUBAN ARMY WILL
BE INVINCIBLE.

The steamer Bermuda, whicl
took On a cargo of firearms an'
ammunition for the Cuban in
surgents at Jacksonville, Fla.
Sunday night, crossed the bar a
the mouth of the St. John!
River at s o'clock Monday morn
ing, and is now we'll on her wa,
to the island.
The Burmuda, however, doe.
not carry munitions of war alone
There is good authority for the
statement that she has on board
400 men who are anxious to aid
in the fight for freedom now be-
ing Waged in Cuba. About $50
of these men were on board when
the Bermuda went into the port,
and the other ESQ were picked up
there and at points down the
river. Just before the steamer
weighed anchor the six large
surf boats used in transferring
the arms left the Clyde Line
docks for the vessel.
Each was fairly we'll filled with
men. When the boats reached
the vessel, the men quick. !,
scampered up the ladder anl
then the surf boats were taken
OH board. The Bermuda then
weighed anchor and with tile as
sistance Of a tug, proceeded down
the river.
Another one hundred men
boarded the steamer at some
point between Jacksonville and
the bar. These men came from
Fernandina On special train
furnished by the F. c. & P. r. r.
They got off the train at Panama
Park, on the river, seven miles
rom Jacksonville, boarded the
;ug Kate Spencer, which was in
waiting and which hurried with
hem down the Bermuda. 1t is
claimed that of the four hundred
men on the Bermuda only one>
lalf are Americans. Colonel
4ayte Vidal is in command of the
expedition. The second in com-
nand is Colonel Torres, of the
1ondoran Army. Vidal is a
Cuban who has been in San Do
ningo.
When the Bermuda crossed
he bar at early dawn she looked
ike a warship. She had guns
Mounted fore and aft, and also
.uns anidships. The vessel is
ikely to need these guns before
be reaches Cuba, for advice
rom Key West state that four
'panish warships are conbing
he east coast of Florida, hoping
D meet the Bermuda.
When the news was reached in
ley West that the Bermuda had I
1T Jacksonville the Spanish {
'onsul boarded the pilotboat $
'onpareil and went out to three
panish cruisers which were ly-
1g off the port. The Consul is {
led orders and two of the cruis> {
rs Immediately proceeded north I

WARREN.
A PATRIOTIC SERMON.

Sunday being near the Fourth it was pertinent to make prominent patriotism. Mir Gardner preached from the words of the Saviour in regard to what we owe to the state and to God. "Bender, there fore, unto Caesar the things that are Cusar's and to God the things that are Gods" He answered the question 'What is duty?" He stated that our country is GOd'a. as much SIS the Roman Empire was Gods, It was Gods, under the Colonial government as now under the Constitution, He made 8 brief ilIu- sion to the circumstances which led to the framing of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, and the great men that figured then, in state who under God brought it about. Richard Henry Lee, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, etc. How the inde pendence on paper became independence in fact. He spoke of the death of Adams and Jefferson, who died on the Fourth of July, 1926, 50 years after the Declaration was declared. They stood sponsors at the baptism in blood of our infant repub- lie. He then gave the prominent place that Franklin occupied in accomplishing our independence, who lived to see the government in operation. What the eloquent Mirabeau said, when the news came to France that Franklin was dead. He mentioned the signers of the Declara- tion of Independence from Connecticut and included Dr John WitherspOOn, ,presi, dent of Princeton college. He spoke of the crises, through which we had passed as 8 nation, and what is meant by a government of the people, by the people and for the people. On the other hand he spoke of the duty we owe to the church, which was purchased at the price of the blood of the Son of God. The Saviour made the twO-fold duty prominent, both to the state and the church. We cannot be neutral. We shall have to do win each. It is i'm perative. Pilate had to do with each, so must we. We are told what is right. 1 We are united to chose life and good, and to shun death and evil. We are moral creatures and God is moral gover- nor. In conclusion he alluded to an inci- dent which occurred during the dark day in Connecticut in 1780,.s ,.swhen the Legisla- l ture was in session in Hartford. The House adjourned and motion was made for the other body to do so, when Col Davenport objected. He said: "The day of judgement is either approaching or it is not. If it is not there is no cause for adjourning. If it is, 1 chose to be found doing my duty. therefore wish that candles may be brought" We live in an all related system. Obligation, duty touches us at every turn and angle of life. Duty, is something due. It is what we owe, and would we see and en- tjoy the freedom of our happy land in- definitely, and the blessings of an open Bible, and the pure worship of God, fidelity is required of us both toward the state, and to the God of the church. Fidelity unto death is the way to- crown of life forever hereafter.
 Richard Barrett is around and the prospect of years of life is apparently Ibefore him.
