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 in1amed con- dition of the mucous lining of the eusta- caian tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imper- feet hearing, 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 condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca tarrh, which Is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by ca- tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free.

MIR, PERKINS, SON RECEIVED
MandamuS Proceedings Were
 Threatened.
THE RIGHT TO BE TESTED
Prof. Cunningham Says Entrance to the School Was Never Denied the Boy-ConsuItation
 With White Shield Committee.

The first step towards a Aandamus proceedings against the board of educa- ton was begun yesterday by John R. Perkins, the father of Robert Perkins, who it is alleged was sent home from the Paul Hayne school for on-payment of tuition, but which Is denied by the school authorities.
 At consultation held on Monday af- ternoon between Mir. Perkins and the committee of the Regents of the White Shield it was decided that a mandamus be issued in order to test the right of the board to charge tuition fee.
 In view of the fact that the schod authorities deny that the boy was sent home for non-payment of tuition, it was decided that formal demand be made upon the principal of Paul Hayne school to reinstate the boy internationally. In the event of the refusal to do so, 1t was decided that a mandamus would then be issued against the board
 According to the agreement, Mir Per kins took Robert to the Paul Hayne school yesterday morning and demand ed that he be reinstated to his class.
 Prof. Cunningham, the principal, in formed MT. Perkins that the school had not been closed against the boy, and he was restored to his place in the class.
 MT. Perkins, when seen by an Age Herald reporter, said:
 Yesterday morning took my boy Robert to the Paul Hayne school and found that Prof. Cunningham had not ar rived. I waited until he came in and introduced myself to him, and demand ed that my boy be restored to his class.
 Prof. Cunningham stated that had raised great fuss about nothing, and that the school had never been closed against the boy. I told him that I had a perfect right to put my construction upon his actions, and again demanded that the boy be allowed to go to his class. He again said that the school had not been closed to the boy, and I told Robert to go to his room and re- sume his place in his class. I left the office and did not find Robert at home at dinner time, so I suppose he was al- lowed to stay. Nothing was said in re- gard to the tuition fee or it's payment.
 q had intended to issue a writ of mandamus against the board, had my boy been refused admittance."

 Hunter immediately ran and was pur- sued by the wounded officer The negro entered the alley and was about half a block in advance of Perdue, when a we'll aimed shot from tho officers pistol caused him to stagger. He did not fall however, but continued running, turning out of the alley in an open lot.
 About this time Officers J. B. Fair and J. W. McDorald arrived on the scene and took up the chase, while Officer Per due was taken to drug store for his wound to be dressed.

 Officer Perdue was removed to W.T. son & Browns infrmary. He suffered much pain and was compelled to under go treatment flor some time before his recovery.
 It was discovered after the excitement of the chase that 1ittle~Myrtise Bowling, a 4-year-old child, had been killed by a bullet fired at the fleeing negro by Officer Perdue. She, with several other cfil- dren. was playing tim the alley at the rear of her mothers residence, a block and a half from where the shooting took place. The affair caused much excite ment, and the most dlepllorable part of it was the accidental killing of the tn- nocent child, which was regretted by no one more than by Officer Perdue.

DRAMATlCS.

No production for many years has achieved the tremendous success, finan- cially and otherwise, as that which has been accorded to 'srne Girl From Paris during it's phenomenally long engage ments in London and New York.
 It is one of those attractions which might be justly termed comic opera, and practically is such, with an exquis- ite score by Ivan Caryll, which includes many of the most popular songs now be- ing sung in London and New York, and a book which has produced the now universally plagiarized saying, Tt Is to laugh" This remark explains this greatest of Rice's productions It Is the most amusing piece of modern times.
 To interpret the burlesque. Mir. Rice has selected a company of forty or fifty people whose standing in their several branches of the theatrical profession Is unquestionable. It is produced under who was secured from tha Lyric and Avenue theaters of London especially for the purpose.
 The dancing Is under the charge of the famous maitre de ballet. H. Fletcher Rivers, while the orchestra Is by Mr. Geo. Hayes, under the personal direction of MT. A. NJ. Langstaff. leader Of the noted Newport orchestra.
 The chorus Is composed of rncny pret- ty girls, whose voices add materially to the great attraction, and with their many fascinating dances form 0 pleas ing feature of the production.
 "The Girl from Paris'' will be the at traction at matinee today and tonight.

The great common people, as Wil- liam Jennings Bryan describes them, are never wrong.

He is for rain, says that within forty-efght hours Birming- ham will have an abundance.

Boston, April 20.-There is no longer

morning. II enclosed keys and the

flame OF mind would naturally send.
Two years ago Mr.. Markham was put in
charge Of the advertising department Of
the Boston Journal. Though his original
contract expired last September. he was
continued In his position on his merits.
His work the past few weeks he's been
Especially effective, and he knew that IL
was appreciated. There was nothing
In Mr.. Markham's relations to The Jour-
nal, business or personal. which could
account In the slightest degree for the
suicide. He had a good salary, which he
never overdrew. and In his department
OF the business no money not his owi
ever passed through his hands. Mr..
Markham was under o physicians care
for some time prior TO his death. but
there was no laxity In his attention to
his duties. Tuesday morning no was
planning business trip TO Phiia dsiphia,
and II was supposed when he failed TO
appear at the once Saturday that he had
gone TO that city.
