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 condition of the mu.
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets intiameI you have a rumbling
sound or imperi ect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but au ipflaned condition
Of the mucous surfaces.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The president
yesterday furnished the senate with
the correspondence between our gov
eminent and Great Britain, resulting

Some of the facts that appear in the
correspondence that was submitted are
that the late Secretary Gresham, in the
spring of 1895, initiated the correspond
ence with Great Britain, looking to a
general arbitration treaty, but for
some reason its consideration was
dropped for time.

GUTHRIE, Ok, Jan. 19.-Hundreds of
eastern people who secured Oklahoma
divorces slipped out of the territory
without paying the costs. A section
Of Oklahoma law little known provides
that no divorce granted in the terri

all paid. Hundreds Of such DEGREES on

since been married, and the cancella-

was %, 735, 661-an increase of over s..
100000 working people in a decade.
This whole number of working people

now rate greatness. Money is the big
gest coward God ever allowed to live
on earth. Life belongs TO society and
is subject to the call of the country.
Money belongs to yourself The mo-
ment there appears a cloud in the
financial sky you hasten to get yours
under cover. even though men may be
killed in the selfish rush. There is
enough money in the world to do the
business. but it is a coward.
Money makes men distrust their own
children. They do not take the love
from their children without suspicion
that the kindness is done to inflat n e
the making of the will. Riches breeds
towards Rich men become petrifac-
tons The figures in our reports are
not monuments to charity or charitable
impulses. They are expressions of
selfshness in their meagerness and os-
tentation. We're not the men you
know better men when they had moth
ing? l do not preach poverty. 1t
never came from Jewish lips that it is
more possible for a camel to pass
through a needles eve than for a rich
man to enter the kingdom OF Heaven.
Judaism says go and make the most OF
opportunity, but not to make wealth
the single fruitage of ambition!
The trouble with this country and
with the financial world is the preva.
lence of the idea that it is every man
for himself, and the devil take the
hindermost There are many thou
sands for the devil. The trouble is
selfshness Selfishness leads to corpo-
ratious, corporations to trusts and
trusts to walls about the country for
the benefit of selfish interests.
There are. too many Neros in this
country. They will keep on fddling
until they are awakened by a crash
such as swept the remnant of Rome
into the grave. Rome was selfish. 1t
had trusts and corporations, and woe
to us who will not listen and profit by
the lesson.
Seifishness 6nanciered the suburban
road which wrecked the bank The
system is wrong. Bad men run the
system. The lessons are hard, and the
cost of the tutor is severe and getting
more severe each year.
Times are hard and will be hard I'M
der the present system Society is too
fast. Cowardice. cupidity and cruelty
are the curses. Men are treated as vic
Tins to be fed to some great Moloch.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 19.-Sam Palatka,
cross-eyed, fiend in expression, re-
Voting in countenance, has confessed
to having perpertrated the great Caha-
ba bridge disaster which occurred
three weeks ago in Alabama. Stolidly,
and with immovable lines of criminal
harshness on his face, he admits that
single-handed he sent 35 persons to a
horrible death and wounded and
MANNED a score more. There was no
romantic reason back of the work of
this courageous coward, a man who
dared discovery which in Alabama
meant certain death, to drive train to
destruction in order to obtain few
dollars. Palatka was arrested in Eat
onton. Putnam county, in middle
Georgia.

THE DEBTS OF NATIONS.

In considering the debts of the ma

Although the United States. Great
Britain, Spain and Germany have made
