FALSE TEACHING SHOWN.
DR.. Latenbach Points Out a Serious MI IS
statement 10 School Text Books.
Medical Society's Next Meeting.

Philadelphia, June 4.-Dr. Louis 7.
biological section of the American Med
ical association this afternoon on a new
method for the treatment of diseases
of the ear, by means of mechanical
massage appliances for restoring to the
ear structures their normal motions
and at the same time. to stimulate the
nerve of hearing. He especially dem
onstrated it's value in cases of perfor-
alton of the drumhead. He showed
number of such patients, among whom
were several physicians. He called at
tention to a false teaching in text
book used in the public schools of Phil
adelpha and in a large number of other
cities. On page PIG, referring to the
drumhead, 1t reads:
"If once broken this delicate MEM
brane cannot be repaired and deafness
results" He claimed that perfora-
tions of the drumhead could be healed
and the hearing be restored, and OBJ
jected to such false teaching, not only
because it was untrue, but that it had
and would undoubtedly influence null
titudes of people to neglect such cases
on account of it's supposed hopeless
ness. AS a consequence of his remarks,
committee was appointed to consider
means of eradicating this false teach
ing and to report the results of their
work to the next meeting of the Ameri-
can Medical association at Denver, Col,
| next year.

dust One Thing
TO Do for Cuba
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun,
The people of Cuba and the people OF
this country are becoming tired Of hear
ing that our government while refusing
to give Cuba the recognition for which
she asks, contemplates doing for her
something better however will involve
a good deal of delay and the acquiescence
of the Spanish government That was
the sirens song sung by the Cleveland
administration, and the wretched outcome
of 1t was a fraudulent agreement, by
which Prime Minister Canovas and his
envoy, Senor Dupuy de LONE, pretended
to offer certain reforms to the unhappy
island, reforms which the Cubans at once
repudiated, and which the Cortes has
since declind to ratlfy, Equally delusive
Is the talk about buying the independence
of Cuba by guaranteeing a huge sum In
Cuban bonds TO be turned over TO Spain
by way of indemnification. The time has
gone by when the rescue of Cuba from
Spanish savagery could be brought about
by purchase. The leaders OF all the chief
political PARTIES in the peninsula have
Joined In declaring that never will Spain
consent TO sell the Island, and the Cubans
themselves refuse to pay penny for the
liberty which they know themselves ca
pable of gaining by arms. The revolu-
tionists stand today precisely where our
forefathers stood In ING. Taey have gone
too far for compromise; they can never
trust agPtn the promises OF the mother

The burgess and chief of police say
they will stop the army from parad-

Salvationists say they will not stop
holding meetings with their drum and
horns as long as there is one OF them

LODGE DABBLES IN POLITICS.
As a Consequence the state Executive
Committee Disbands 1t.

Towanda, June 4.-Dlstrict President
II. B. Ingham, of the Patriotic order
Sons of America, acting under orders
from the executive committee of the
state camp, has taken possession OF the
charter, seal and other property OF
Camp No. ga, North Towanda, and
officially disbanded the organization.
The lodge had forty members. The
trouble grew out of the Endorsement OF
political candidates by the lodge during
the county campaign last fall, and the
subsequent neglect of the camp to deal
with the members responsible for the
breach of the constitution.

AANY TONS Of Bad SEEDS
HAWAIIAN FARMERS SHOULD
TAKE WARMING.
Secretary Wilson Informed That
Thousands of Pounds of Pests Are
Annually Imported From Aboard.

Some interesting statements and
words of warning to American farm
ers are given in report to Secretary
Wilson, of which Hawaiian agricult
wrists should take notice.
1t says thousands of pounds, prob
ably tons, of grass and clover seed are
shipped annually into the United
States which contain all sorts of vile
weed seeds. Among these such pests
as the Russian thistle, Canadian this
tie, wild mustard, chess, dodder, wild
daisy, trefoil and plantain have been
introduced here. Nearly every year
witnesses the advent of pests of this
character brought to America in the
same marrer. The difficulties in the
way of graduating such seeds, when
they are once established in COM
muhity, are well nigh insuperable.
\ large amount of cheap seed is
now being sold as novelties at fancy
prices through manipulation of the
name and the report says that the
German coffee berry, which many
| statesmen are now advertising as a
cheap substitute for coffee, is really
the common sofa bean, which can be
bought cheaply anywhere.
A collection of $1,000 walls of seeds
from nearly all parts of the world
have been made at the department
to assist in testing the foreign seeds
| found in commerce, and the depart
ment will thus be able to give warn
ing against new and dangerous pests.
