WINDOW GLASS WORKERS.
They Notify the knights of Labor of
Their Withdrawal.


Their Withdrawal.
committee, consisting Of Messrs. Cake,
Clarey, Yournon and Smith of Pittsburg,
representing the Window Glass Workers
Association, called at the knights of Labor
headquarters today and renewed notifica-
ton that the window glass workers would
withdraw from the knights. Secretary
Hayes of the knights Of Labor. when ask
ed about the matter said that the same
action was taken last year and the year
before, but the window glass branch of the
knights continued to exist The trouble be-
gan, Mr.. Hayes says, in July, 1894, after
the New Orleans meeting, when the WIN
dow glass branch declared they would
withdraw. They have not paid their dues
since then, but are carried Oil the rolls
Under the constitution of the knights any
ten men who remain in an assembly after
the others withdraw can retain the charter
Of that branch, so that in case the glass
workers carry out their threats to with
draw, any ten men who remain will serve
to continue the organization in the knights.
Mr. Hayes says there arc not only ten men.
but a considerable percentage of the glass
workers who favor remaining in the order.
The question Of the glass tariff has figured
somewhat in the controversy, and 1t has
been said that If the glass workers with
drew, the knights would cast their in
fuence toward taking off the duty on
glass;

ARMY RETIRING BOARD.
Lieut.. Col. Bradford Reported In

CHICAGO, August 13.-Lieutenant Colo
mel James L. Bradford of the 18th Infantry
stationed at Columbus barracks, Ohio, was
before the retiring board Wednesday, He
has little hopes Of defeating his retirement
though he is said to have made a vigorous
protest. Colonel Bradford has one leg
shorter than the other, the result Of a
wound received in the service, and which
has not interfered with his active duties
during all the years since the close of the
war. His post physician reported him as
unable to discharge the active duties of the
service, and as the retiring board can only
pass upon the correctness of the disability,
and that being evident, the retirement of
Colonel Bradford will not be a surprise, if 1t
comes.

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 inflamed con-
ditiOn Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t 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
catarrh, which is nothing but an infam-
ed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
