 We rejoice in the far-reachiny influence of this organization, who, with probe and knife, have sought out and brought to the light of day hidden iniquities, con- polling mt to stop and consider, and in many instances to enact better and more humane laws. And these same timid women, so recently afraid of the sound of their own voices, now speak out with no uncertain sound concerning the evils about them, in the parlor or on the plat lorna voice for the voiceless. God be praised for the open and consecrated lips! God be praised for the noble army u a. shall bring to pass that wonderful prophecy: "The Lord giveth the Word the women who publish the tidings are a great host"

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 cOnstitu- tiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in- famed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca tarrh, which is nothing but an tnflamed condi- tiOn of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can- not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

WHAT THE GRAND DUKE HEARD.
European Officers Discussed the Capture
 of American Cities.

WHAT THE GRAND DUKE HEAHO. European Officers Discussed the Capture
 of American Cities.
 The Grand Duke Alexis was at Kiel. He is a full Russian admiral now, and the head of the Russian navy. He was frequent visitor to the Americans, and, like all the other notables, talked with the utmost frankness to our officers.
 One day, watching the Columbia as she rode the waves as lightly and with the easy grace of blue wing teal, the grand duke said to a captain I'm glad you Americans are rebuilding your fleet. Do you know what most impressed me when I visited your country? Let me tell you. The first thing was your Won- derful national wealth; the second, the absolutely inadequate means at your dis posal for national defense. You were like drunken man with pockets full of money and two or three hungry ruffians on the dark side of the street waiting chance to attack him.
 "Why, do you mean to say"- began the somewhat startled captain, when the Russian put his hand OH the other s arm and said: "Twice ill my career l have heard the project of capturing one or two of your great cities and holding them for ransom deliberately discussed by officers of European fleets whose countries had hard work to make ends meet. And they meant it too. l once made a sensation when, after listening to conversation of this kind, in which the officers of four different fleets took part, I said: Gentlemen, the United States and Russia are friends. Should she be unjustly attacked, Russia would help to see that the wrong was righted. An, I can't tell you where or who it was. Come over to the Kurik 1.-the Rus sian flagship] and have glass of wine. ; Washington Post.

 A Y0UNG LADY NEARLY BURNT TO DEATH.-On Tuesday last, Adelia Fay, young woman, IS years of age, residing in the family of Elijah Ed on of Stafford, was so badly burnt by her clothes taking fire from a stove that her life is dspaired of. She left the room in alright and be- ing exposed to curl ent of air, was soon "nvelOped in fiames-even to the danger of the house itself.
 Such accidents are of frequent occur r"nce, and since ladies dresses are of so limsy materials, and fashion calls for such d wide expansion of skirt. the ut most prvcnuti"n sOems necessary.

AUTUMN SONG.
A sonr of the reaping time,

A song of the reaping time,
 Of the feast days of the year; A song of the grain and the well filled watDs And the husking time that's near. Here's hey, for a merry romp
 In the brown old fields and valesl And ho for the mead where the cattle feedI And ho for the autumn galesl A kunt through the tall, dim woods
 For the fruit of the oak and vine, A peep at the nest of the last redbreast And a call where the chipmunks dine. A smile in the morning skies,
 And a laugh in the streams that flow As they share their joy with the girl and boy That today may a-rambling go.

USE IT IN TIME.-Catarrh starts in the nasal passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat, and is in fact, the great enemy of the mucous membrane. Neglected colds in the head almost invariably precede ca- tarrh causing an excessive flow of mucous, and if the mucous discharge becomes in- terrupted the disagreeabIe results of ca- tarrh will follow, such as bad breath, se- were pain across forehead and about the eyes, roaring and buzzing sound in the ears. and oftentimes a very offer sive dis charge. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowl edged cure for these troubles.

From the State Minutes just received of the Twenty y-first Annual Convention held in Jersey City, is gleaned the follow ing excellent historical sketch from the always interesting report of the cores bonding secretary, Mrs. J. T. Ellis:
 My mind goes back thirteen years, when you first honOred me by giving me the position of corresponding secretary of the State Union, which continuous office to-day expect to retire from. 1 rejoice in the mighty strides we as an or ganization have made, and can say with profound gratitude, "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." We do thank God for the mighty uplift the w. c. T. U. has been to womankind during these years. We find scores of women whose lives thirteen years ago were bounded on the north by the kitchen and dining room, on the south by the cellar and preserve closet, on the east by the Ladies' Aid Society, and on the west by the Church Fair, and whose horizon was so contract ca that It only took Tn their homes, their church and their friends-now not only occupied with what concerns themselves alone, but, realizing that the great bull wark to the nations safety and prosperity is in it's homes, they have striven to make other homes brighter and better. Thus, step by step, their work and interest have widened, until these once timid, fearful souls, who shrank from doing anything outside the prescribed lines laid down in the code of "woman's sphere," as set forth in the old time regime--to-day are in touch with the great, busy world, studying social, phiIanthropic and economic questions; for she has found that the same thoughtful, intelligent care bestowed upon her own home is what the world needs and is crying out for,

If You Have Sick Child This Is Surely a
 Message of Hope.
 This is the best of news for parents of weakly or sickly children It is fact that our people have heretofore not had the same opportunity for having their children who suffer from chronic or finger Ing complaints treated and cured by en- inent specialists in childrrn'o diseases as do the residents of the great cities where such skilled physicians reside. In other words, our people have been debarred from seeking a cure for their children by the great physicians, owing to the cost of travel to the large city and the high fees charged by such physicians.
 Here, therefore. is chance for the cure of the children of our community which should not be lost. Dr. Greene, of B West 14th St, New York City, who is beyond doubt the most successful special ist in curing diseases of children, offers to give free consultation by mail in all cases of children's complaints. Parents have the privilege of consulting Dr. Greene by letter, describing their children's diseases, and he will, after carefully considering the symptoms, write a letter fully eX- plaining the trouble, telling everything about their complaint so plainly that you will understand exactly what ails your bhildren. He will also give his advice, founded upon his vast experience and wonderful success in treating such cases, as to just what to do to effect cure All this will cost you nothing, and you can thus have consultation with the best. known physician and acknowledged most successful specialist in the world, without leaving home and at no expense whatever. The Doctor is the discoverer of that greatest of medicines, Dr. Greene's Ner. vura blood and nerve remedy, and has discovered many other most valuable special remedies. Write to him now about your child, for this is chance of c11rn which Nnn may nnNnr ha un annin

The plea of the 10 to I people that
free coinage would benefit the debtor
class is the most pernicious ever pre-.
scented to an enlightened people. If
it were known that free coinage bill
would pass Congress and be approved
by the President, Lombard and Wall
streets would have an option on every
ounce of silver in the world and if it
appreciated in value the brokers
would reap the harvest. In addition,
1t would create such a panic as the
world never knew. Creditors would
foreclose every mortgage. Confidence
would depart from us. All business
would be paralyzed. Labor would be
unemployed. The panic of 90 would
be as spring zephyr is to cyclone.
The crush for payment would be as
the rush for an exit in case of fire.
Only auctioneers and those who had
money would profit. Interest would
rise to exorbitant rates. Anarchy
and starvation would reign supreme.
The history of the world is replete
with proofs. 1t took France fifty
years TO recover from the ohm Law in
flation.

A Boulevard.

Our neighbors across the river are
developing a project, which, ii car
RED into effect, will virtually revolu-
tionize things. The scheme is to
change the turnpike from Hagerstown
to Williamsport into fine boulevard
An electric railroad will be built
along the north side, while a road.
way for vehicles and bicycles will oc-
cupy the south side. The present
roadbed will be regarded and rolled to
a perfect surface, making one Of the
finest stretches Of road in this section
for wheels or vehicles.
We suggest that the Potomac be
bridged and the road extended to this
city. 1t would be a paying invest
ment, as old-time methods are too
antiquated, and turnpike companies
would do well to go out of business
or else keep up with the car of prog.
ress-the trolley. There are several
beautiful sites for parks along the
pike which could be utilized for pic.
mic parties and breathing spots.
