There is only ono way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inaamcd you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrah, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)

A Suit for Heavy Damages.

The suit for $4,000 damages of Ma
thias Yablowski and wife against John,
Alvin, Clara and Ida Markle, doing busi-
ness as G. b. Markle S5 Co., began in
court before Judge Lynch on Thursday
afternoon. Attorneys James l.. Lena
han and E. A. Lynch are for the prose
cution and John NJ. Garman and
George II. Troutman for the company.
The plaintiffs allege that on March 10,
1893, their son Frank was engaged as a
slate picker at the Jeddo colliery of G..
b. Markle & Co. and that while attend
ing to his duties he fell and slipped into
the rolls that were negligently permitted
to be uncovered, and that he was SC
badly injured that he died the same day.
The case is still on and the verdict will
not be rendered before this evening.

From the Shenandoah News.
William Jones, alias Strong Boy" of
Mount Carmel, who has made the bor-
ough his stopping place for few
months, and who has been serving An
thony Schmicker as an all around man
in his saloon for little over two months,
has proved himself an unshining light
by trying to burglarize the residence of
NJ. L. Shoemaker at 430 Friday morn
ing.
William left Schmicker's place at 12
o'clock Thursday night to look for an
oyster stew which he very likely found
before Mr.. Shoemaker was aroused and
looked out, only to SEQ his feet going
into the sitting room window, which
fronts on Canal street. Constable Phil
lips was notified and ''Strong Boy" was
arrested.
Thursday morning before Squire Shoe
maker he told a very pitiful story re-
garding his past life, how he had always
been an orphan and that he could not
account for his actions in entering the
house as he did. He was committed to
jail without bail. 1t is only about q
week ago that Anthony Schmicker was
relieved Of three watches.

of his opponent. The latter's canvass
has failed to produce the slightest i'm
preston outside of his own faction, and
the Democrats and independent Repub-
cans are more confident today than at
any time since the nominations were
made. One of the most notable features
of the campaign is the disappearance Of
the large mplimentary vote which the
Highland candidates friends counted
upon in Freeland and Foster Local
pride is strong in these districts, but not
strong enough to swallow the clique
made candidate on this years ticket.
Complimentary votes for Schwartz's OPP
ponent should be few and far between.
Democrats owe it to the Hazleton
people to give the candidate of that city
the full party vote. They should re-
member that James j. Maloy, of Free
land, last fall received the highest vote
in Hazleton that was ever cast for non
resident of that city, and Freeand and
Foster Democrats should not fail to show
a like result tomorrow. Hazeton Demo-
Gratis have given proof of their wish to
end the party war between that city and
Freeland, and the North Side vote for
Schwartz will be accepted as tho senti
ment of Freeland and Foster Democrats
on that question.

Smashup on the Valley.

An expensive smash occurred on the
Lehigh Valley Railroad at Bear Creek
Thursday morning. A freight train
moving along at a good pace, struck the
rear end OF standing coal train. Sew
eral-of the employees had narrow escapes
but none were injured. The locomotive
of the freight train toppled over on her
side and the caboose and several coal
and gondoa cars were piled up or
wrecked.

A BAND OF sEQUINs
o O o 8 . g q

description of the new embroidery, and
from 1t The following directions are
taken:
Sequlns are most effective when
massed, and one of the prettiest ways
OF doing this Is by overlapping them.
The little knot of ribbon shown in the
illustration is adapted from an old
French design and is a good example
of a single line of overlapping sequins.
1t should he noted that certain loops
of the bow pass under others, and that
the center is formed by moderately
large sequin, in the middle of which is
n small one, and u gilt bead on top of all.
10 work this or any similar design
stretch the material in q frame and
lightly mark the desired outline. Bring
needleful of silk from the wrong to
the right side of the work, lay n spanglo
with one edge touching the place where
the needle came up, push the needle
through the central hole of the sequin
and thus to the wrong side of the
work, bring it up again half sequins
length from the lower edge of the for.
mer soquin, lay another spangle close
above the thread and push needle again
back through the center hole to the
wrong side of the work. Repeat from
all along the outline.
The bow in the illustration was
worked on white satin and with the
tiniest gilt sequins procurable.

From the Hazleton Plain Speaker.
The miners and laborers employed in
the No. slope, of the Cross Creek Coal
Company, at Beaver Meadow, have en-
tertained much fear during the past two
or three weeks of repetition of an acci-
dent such as occurred at Jeanesville
several years ago. Coke Bros. e Co.
pumped nearly all of the water out of
the old No. slope at Lewiston which
had deluged it for the past twenty years
and finally removed the pumping facii-
ties permitting the extensive under
ground workings to I'll up with water
second time. To lead the water in a
different way tunnel was driven from
the No slope at Beaver Meadow
through the dividing strata of rock
between the two veins, the thickness of
which is said to he about 17O feet
From the face or terminus OF this
tunnel gangways were branchcd out in
the vein of the No mine and it is in
these places that the danger is mostly
entertained. However, the entire mine
is in the same danger but the gangways
just mentioned are the ones most suscep-
tible to it. The fear lies in the fact that
hole may break through from the
flooded mines, the result of such a catas-
trophe being too well known. The com
pany is not working the places accord
ing to law by failing to run a drill hole
ahead to determine where the men really
are working.
There is sentiment to have the mine
inspectorvisit the place and decide upon
the safety to keep the works going
The company claims to have the maps
of both slopes and declare that there is
no danger. The force of the water from
that portion is growing stronger daily.

Town Talk is q Society Journa

Town I ak is a Society Journa
published in this city, and from the
above is al evidence of the pref
dice sentiment of its editors and
their mediocre birth. Such sentl-
ments only eminate from people OF
low degree, who have endeavored tO
aspire ia the world, but failed and
are making every effort to place the
Afro-American upon an equality
with them.
The Afr0-Americans are too pol
ished, too intelligent and too highly
educated TO descend to the level of
Town Talk.
The refined and educated white
lady, not only of this community,
but east of Mason's and Dixon S
line are willing and ready to join
in the holy bonds OF wedlock with
high-toned colored gentlemen were
it not for public sentiment.
The Afro American, however, is
not at all ANXIOUS to amalgamate !;
he is satisfied with his present social
status and all he asks is, to be let
alone and be permitted to exercise
his rights and privileges guaranteed
by the constitution.
The Town Talk editors, were no
doubt, too mean or too poor to have
sucked from mama's breast during
the reconstruc ion period.
1t is the high-toned Southern
lady or gentleman or the eff-springs
from the royal Southern blood who
can testify to the worth and value
Of the slave.
As We said before, you are willing
to eat what We cook, suck from the
breast of the slave mother, whose
substances enter every vital organ
Of your body, and still you object
to the Afro-American sitting by
your side in theatres, s:reet-cars,
and other places of amusements.
The BEE would be pleased t.
know where the consistency is.

give pointers to sll classes of citi-

Speeches In Parliament.
London, Feb. 12.-The Times this
morning says editorially: "The speech
es i'm both houses of Parliament are a
substantial proof of the earnest desire
OF the English people to maintain cor
dial relations with America"
An editorial in the Standard express
es the similar view that Lord Rose
bery's and Sir William Vernon Har-
courts admirably conceived expressions
will allay whatever remains of ruffied
sentiment in America in regard to the
Monroe doctrine
The Chronicle. in its editorial columns
this morning. claims the credit for the
conversion Of England to arbitration
and says: 'The speeches in Parliament
show that We have reached the point
where a solution Is q certainty. The
Schomburgk line Ii as defunct as the
boundaries OF Wessex"
The Daily News says. TT Is not quite
clear what Lord Salisbury means by a
mixture Of arbitration and negotiation
He tried q mixture before when he Of
Tered to arbttrate only q part Of the
boundary dispute. He cannot intend to
repeat the dose"

takes "nigger" 10 write such a tning.

that the time has not yet come WheH
thew can be received as socially equai

know. that if he goes TO a hrst,eiasS
hotel he is going to be turned down,
so where is the necessity in his gong
thereP He knows beforehand that ne

yites this. 1t is pity we have SO
few educated colored people In this

monkeys, who, having obtained
common school education, suddenly
ACQUIRE the idea that they know 1t all,
and not only attempt to give the white
people (who must be acknowledged are
in every way their superiors), pointers,
but thev have an idea they must nave
their noses everywhere. | suppose the
colored people in this District Will take
exception to my remarks, and Will also
say that "gave vent to my pent-np
indignation and long venomous pIeJu-
dice against the Af-o-American::" lhlS
is, however, not the case. AS long as
the colored people remember, their
places and do not try to cncroach upou
their rights, which they have tor cen

am their friend. | think it is about

10 the fact that the time has not yet ar
rived " hen they will be received as our
brothers and sisters.
