MR.. BRYAN's VISIT AND SPEECHES.
Mr.. Bryan's visit to Maine has gratifed
qhe curiosity of many thousands Of people,
and that is about all that it has done.
That it has accomplished aything sub
stantial for the cause Of free silver either
here or elsewhere is highly improbable.
On the contrary we are inclined to
think that both candidate and cause
have suffered from the visit. Certainly
both the matter and the manner of his
Portland speech were disappointing
There was very little trace in that speech
of the oratorical power that he has been
credited with. Its matter was common
place enough. and there Was nothing
particularly impressive about his de-
livery. Of course some allowance must
be made for his jaded condi-
tion, bis worn voice and the fact that he
was speaking to a people who had recent
ly shown by their votes that they were
far from sympathetic, but after all al
lowances are made it must remain "a
matter of wondeEment to the people who
heard him speak at the Union Station
that he was able to carry % convention
off its feet by his oratory and compel
recognition which nobody had ever
thought before Of giving him
What sir. Bryan said inaFhis Portland
speech hardly calls for serious attention
except, perhaps, Oh one point, and that
his allusion to the declaration of the Re-
publican platform in regard to blmetal-
lism. Mr. Bryan undertakes to make
it appear that the Republicans were
guilty Of trucking to foreign nations
because they declared against free coinage
of silver except by International agree
ment with the leading nations Of the
world" Mr.. BRYAN in his speeches sub
stitutes the word consent for the
word agreement" for the purpose of
making the alleged trucking more
pronounced. To men who stop to think,
this charge of subservlency is the
meFest clap-trap, but as it was about the
only point TINT MI. Bryan made which
clioited any applause there would seem
to be people upon whom it makes some
impression. All the GO nmercial nations
u e-S CttttA ttA4o WIN one announcer, ana
the balances are at the present time
settled in gold. Gold is the only money
of ultimate redemption recognized by
any Of the principal ones t,day. The
thing chat every true himetallist aims
at is to have silver placed on an equality
with gold in the settlement Of these
ba!ancee-in other words to have neither
meal Disseminated against. Now, how
is that to be brought about. The Repub-
liean platform says it can bs brought
about only by general agreement, and
that is the opinion of almost every one
of The leasing bimetallists both in this
country and abroad. Is it snbserviency to
seek such an agreement? If Mr. A is tad
ing with Mr. B, and Mr.. c and Mr.. D.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local application as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure DEAFNESS and that is by constitl-
tio1al remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infaned condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness caused by catarrh) that can

MRS. TUNNEL LOCATED
The Friend OF Matte OVerman In
Hiding on a Ranch in Kings
County,


Mrs. Tunnel, the missing witness in the
Brown-Davidson blackmailing case. and
the woman who, above all others, except
ing the principals in the affair, knows all
about any clandestine relations that NAV
have existed between the Rev. Dr. Brown
and Miss Matte Overman, is said to be in
hiding on a ranch at Grangeville, Kings
County, Cal.
Mrs. Tunnel disappeared from the resi-
dence of DR.. Brown at 1903 Geary on the
night OF Sunday, December 90. She did
not return to her lodgings at Mrs. Dray' s
house, at 1041 Mission street, but went to
Oakland, where she remained for several
DAYS at Mrs. Eaton at GIG Ninth street.
Mrs. Tunnel, during her stay in Oak
land, wrote to her friend Mrs. Horton. at
PIG Eddy street in this City. This was the
last heard of her by any of her San Fran
cisco friends.
In her letter she said she was going to
visit Mrs. Hayes at Grangeville, Kings
County, and that is where she is supposed
to be at present. Mrs. Hayes is daughter
of Mrs. Horton. Mrs. Tunnels friends in
this City are, however, still worrying about
her, and for their sake. it is hoped, that she
will soon write to them and thus relieve
their anxiety. They take this means of
saying to her that they can still be found
at the old address

during tTo-thirds of the period of the war.
After the war she returned to Bucksport.
Her husband died in 1859, and she married
again in 1873. Her second husband s
name was Thomas Roy Davidson.
Then Attorney Gallagher by her .testl-
mony showed that she came to California
two years ego tomorrow, viz. the 9th Of
January, 1894, TO attend the Mldwlnter
Fair; that she opened a corset and waist
agency; that she was in the same business
a. the time of her arrest and that she has
represented the same manufacturing firm
for eight years; that she had at various
times resided at 1929 Ellis street; some
where on California street. the mum Der of
which she did not remem Der; that she had
had her place of BUSINESS at 1879 Post street,
over LiebeS' furstore, and that she moved
to her last place of business, 225 Geary
street, the last week in June.
Added interest was at once discovered
on the countenances OF all present when
Attorney Gallagher asked:

To this came prompt and firm reply of

Her direct examination then continued
as follows:

Church.
Did Matte Overman at any time occupy the

Yes, sir. Subsequent to her return to the

Mrs. Thurston of Oakland is as anxious
to find Mrs. Tunnel as any am bitious de-

night. "But now I have changed nv

Yes sir.
Then you did not see her again till the Goth
