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 this tube gets
inflamed 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.

Fatal Explosion of Gas.

James Allen, aged 80 years, of Halle
ton; James McGill, aged 28 years, of Ply
mouth, and Charles Henry Lembar,
aged 80 years, all miners, boarding at
Big Vein, near Middleport, few miles
from Pottsville, were fatally burned by
an explosion of gas on Friday at the
Roska William colliery, operated by the
Dodson Coal Company. The unfortunate
men, who composed the night shift, en-
tered an old dry tunnel, where they
were engaged in driving q gangway.
The naked lamp carried by Lembar fired
a large quantity of gas that had ac-
cumulated in the chamber and there was
a terrible explosion, which was distinct
ly heard throughout every part of the
workings. Lembar was hurled violent
ly down shute, while Allen and McGill
were dashed against the timbers of the
narrow tunnel. The men were horribly
burned and cut and were carried to the
surface in an unconscious condition and
removed to the Ashland hospital.

The Democratic papers of the district
are Il unit in their praise of the partys
candidate for poor director, and the Re-
publican journals reluctantly admit that
Mr.. Schwartz is strong man. From Il
''dead-sure" thing the election of Mr.
Smith has rapidly become matter of
extreme doubtfulneSs, and his talkatVe
friends are curbing their boasts accord
ing as they hear from other parts of the
district. The sentiment in Carbon, as
expressed by the newspapers there, is
very favorable to the Democratic nomi-
nee, and his strong personality, his we'll
known honesty, and what is of especial
Importance, his freedom from alliances
with any secret political organization,
make him an ideal candidate for an
Office which none but broad-mnded men
should fill. The board of poor directors
of the middle coal field district has been
maintained at a high standard for some
years, and to keep it there should be the
aim of both political parties, by nomi-
mating only men who could sit with
credit toathcmselves and the people.
The Democrats have given the voters a
chance to elect man of that kind, and
the citizens of the district will make nc
mistake in placing Mr.. Schwartz on the
board. He will be free to exercise his
Judgment for the best interests of all
the people, and is not tied down by oath.

Abandoned the Tracks.

The Lehigh Valley Railroad on Satur-
day abandoned that portion of its road
between Hazleton and Stockton, where
the accident occurred by the cavern on
Monday evening. All trains leaving
that city for any point will run by way
Audenried and Beaver Meadow, making
a difference of eighteen minutes in the
running time between Hazleton and
Hazle Creek Junction. This order will
continue until spring. as it will take the
company all of that time to build the

NOTES AND COMMENT.
POLITICAL MATTERS FORM SUBJECTS
FOR PASSING OPINIONS.
A Bait With Which Republicans Catch
Unsuccessful Office Seeking Democrats,
and How the Converts Are Treated on
Election Day-The Poor District.

There is one thing about Freeland
Republicans that is particularly notice
able every year. They welcome with
open arms il Democrat who signifies his
intention to become one of their party.
In fact, they do more; they present him
with nomination before he has scarcely
time to become acquainted with his new
friends, as is shown by the South ward
ticket. Two of the nominees, Messrs.
Eckert and Sosnowski, are recent con-
verts to high-tarifT principles, though it
must not be inferred that the tariff had
anything to do with changing their poll
tcal complexion. That is another story,
and the only point desired to make
prominent at this time is the profound
consideration that is shown for new
recruits. They have honors thrust upon
them, to the utter exclusion of the faith
full who ''ncver split ticket for a
Democrat" A standing inducemcnt to
run for office is one of the bats that has
won several of the wcakkneed to the
Republican ranks, and it does not seem
to detract from the magnetism when the
converts learn that none of them ever
get elected to office. The dcsertions
from Democracy have been frequent
during ten years past, and the Republi-
cans have lost no time in recognizing
the new acquisitions, but the love they
profess for eX-Democrats cools off before
election day and the new Republicans
are invariably treated to IL defeat before
admitting them to full membership. In
the case of the candidates named above
the Republicans this year have repeated
their tactics. The two eX-Democrats
have been nominated in ward whore
nothing short of a miracle can accomp-
lish their election, but if the plan is
satisfactory to them it should be to all
others.

The insolencc of the Republican
managers in Foster township appears
to be boundcss. They seem to have
lost all sense of honor and deccncy, and
part of their work at the nominating
convention last week is of such nature
that the citizens of the township should
not allow it to go unrebuked They
have, at the nstigation of a majority of
the school board it is presumed, named
two person for auditors who, if they are
the men their friends take them to
be, will decline to serve. The nomi-
neeS, MesSrs. Farrar and Evans, are
both qualified and competent to fulfill
the duties of the Office if elected
nevertheless they will be called to
pass Judgment upon the accounts and
financial transactions of their employ
ers, the school directors. The office of
auditor is most important one, and
none should occupy it but persons who
are free from all danger of coercion
and compulsion. School teachers of
Foster township are not free in this
respect. They are under obligations to
the directors for the positions they hold
aud expect to hold, and such are not
the sort of men who should audit the
school boards accounts. Honest Off
cials generally prefer that disintcrested
persons make the report upon their
doings, but Foster school directors insist
that the Investigators shall be men
whom they can deprive OF their posi-
tions if their findings of the work done
be not favorable to the board.

the early days of Kansas, and I was
one of the lawyers who practiced in
his court. Upon one occasion I was
conducting case in which I had
perfect confidence when the trial be-
gan, but before it had progressed far
the evidence against my clients side
of the controversy was so strong and
so unexpected that I saw the case
was hopeless. I fully believed the
witnesses lied, but could not shake
them by cross examination, and it
looked as though my client would
lose his property. Judge Shields had
decided every question with perfect
fairness, and it could not be seen
that he was in any way interested
until SUDDENLY he called to an attor-
ney, MIR. Black, take the bench for
the rest of this case;' then, turning
to me, he said: Have me sworn as
a witness. I will not see man rob-
bed in this court in matters of which
[ am personally cognizant.' He took
the stand, and his testimony saved
the case for me. The other side ap-
pealed, but the judge was sustained,
the only case of the kind in the
books"

It is noteworthy that though in
each of the American crematories
more men than women have been
cremated the movement abroad was
practically begun by women, Lady
Dixie of England and a German
woman having been cremated at
Dresden. When efforts were made in
the years 1884 on the continent of
Europe, in England, and in the Unit
ed States in favor of the cremation of
the dead, Lady Rose Mary Crawshaw
was one of it's prominent advocates.
A number of we'll known women in
this country have expressed them
selves decidedly in favor of crema-
ton. Among them are Olive Thorne
Miller, Mrs. Lippincott, Mrs. j. c..
Croly, Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Mrs.
Alice D. LIE Plongeon, the late Kate
Field, Rose Elizabeth Cleveland and
Edith Thomas. At public meeting
Mrs BallingtOn Booth referred to
the time when her body should be
carried to the crematory. The total
number of cremations in the United
States from 1876, when the first Gre
matory was established, to the close
of 1895, was reported to be 4,647. The
number of men cremated in New
York is more than double the num-
Der of women.

Tennyson was devoted to his wife,
but like man of true taste, he
wrote very little about his true
feeling for her. That beautiful dedi-
cation beginning, "Dear, near and
true,"is that bit of his writing which
will be most often associated with
her name. She was shrewd critic
of her husbands work. Tennyson has
been accused of inability to fuse the
different portions of a long poem,
and the difference in style between
''The Coming of Arthur" and ''The
Passing of Arthur" and the other
''Idylls of the King" has been cited
in illustration. Concerning this diff
ference Lady Tennyson said to her
son only two days before her death,
"He said The Coming of Arthur are
THE Passing of Arthur are purpose
ly simpler in style than the other
idylls as dealing with the awfulness
of birth and DEATH" and she wished
this statement of the poet to be put
on record in her sons biography of
his father.

''To give the cold shoulder" is said
to have originated in practice once
common in France, and during Nor
man days in England also. When a
guest had outstaid his welcome, in
stead of the haunch of mutton or
venison usually served at dinner, a
cold shoulder of mutton was placed
before his as hint that he had bet
ter go.

ices has been told in detail by btogra-

ices has been told in detail by bogra
piers but General Grant has condensed
his real character and reputation into a
few sentences: Hancock stands the most
conspicuous of all the general officers
who did not exercise a separate command.
He commanded a corps longer than any
other one, and his name was never men,
toned as having committed In battle a
Dlunder for which he was responsible.
He was a man Of very conspicuous per-
sonal appearance. His genial disposition
made him friends and his personal cour-
age and his presence with his command
in the thickest of the fight won for him
the confidence of the troops.'''
Continulng. Senator Palmer said: *
have said that Hancock had AN eye for q
battlefield The terms I use are not
technical, but they describe a quality in
an officer that every practical soldier UNI
derstands. It has it's application to the
field like that of Gettysburg, and In q less
degree to Chickamauga. When he reach
ed Gettysburg Hancock found the po-
sition held by the Union forces menaced
by startling dangers. At once he saw the
advantage of the position and boldly re-
solved that this great battle should be
fought to determine the fate Of the con-
tinent. To be great Is to be equal to the
requirements Of great occasions and it is
to the skill, courage and the resolute
GOODNESS OF Hancock that Gettysburg was
selected as battlefield, and 1t is to the
officers OF all ranks and grades and to
the hardy, resolute courage Of the private
soldiers of many states that the country
owes the crushing repulse of the confed-
crate forces
1T is enough to say for him that ne
was great according to that best defni-
ton Of greatness. He compre, ended and
seized great opportunities. Now that we
have ceased to struggle against each 9TH

The path of the storm was from 0OO 10 SOo

was RACED to the ground including several
houses.
Carl Johnson, a prominent farmer, was
caught in the twister He had team at

skirt the storm by driving in meadow to
the westward, but before he could lash
his horses out of the path of the hurricane
he was caught It's vortex, ana man,
horses and wagon were carried through

wire and other debris. His clothes were
literally torn from his back and he re"

wind would raise him high In the air and
drop him back to the earth, only to eaten
him up again. In his flight he would de-
scribe a circle, and when the storm finally
passed over him he was $50 yards or more
distant from where the storm first struck
him. After traversing a distance OF about
two miles the funnel-shaped cloud arose
as suddenly as it had shot down to the

Omaha, May IA special to the Bee

Lincoln was struck at 4:45 p. m. by a
tornado which ragged with undated vo-

the rain fell as from a cloudburst, &C
companied by hail. Buildings were I'M
rooted and torn down, cornices swept
from roofs into the streets and the resi-
dence portion Of the city nearly denuded
Of trees.
The most damage was at the hospital
for the insane. The inmates were eXcit-
ed, but the guards averted trouble. The
damage in the city will probably not ex-
coed $4,000, though it may be much heav-
Ter, as the suburban districts are yet cut
off from communication.
The injured are: j. l.. Workman head
cut by flying debris; A. L. Woody, in
5ured IN a collapsed building; Mrs. J. b.
Abbott, caught beneath a horse; Henry

There were no fatalities, though the

COST OF LIGHT MUCH REDUCED

Welsbach Invention Hurts Electric
and Gas Companies.
Chicago, May 1.-THE announcement
today at a private exhibition that the
now famous Welsbach light can be ap-
piled to student and other lamps in which
gasoline is used for fuel, and that pat
ents have been issued for this improve
ment on the Welsbach invention, Is re-
garded as another telling blow at the
electric light, If not the gas, trusts. and as
especially calculated to send electric
light stocks still further a-kiting. At the
exhibition today 1t was demonstrated that
by the adoption Of the Welsbach hydro
carbon incandescent light to an ordinary
student lamp, one pint of gasoline would
give light equal to 70 candle power for
a minimum period Of eight hours This,
1t Is claimed, reduces the cost of light
to minimum never before reached and
which is practically nominal.
