CATARRH.
COLD IN THE-HEAD

Is acute inflammation and swelling of the
0lfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ is a long
ribbOn-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds. as
seen In Fig. 8. When this condition be
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, so the air In breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. TheCatarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcers is very
poisonous and soon impregnGtes the
whole mucous surface of the nose, head
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonslls have
become corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequGntly involves the whole bronchial
passage TO the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. 1t will be seen that
nothing can radical v cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease

organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.

But They Were Married.

Years ago there lived in a Massachusetts
town justice of the peace known as
Square Simmonds, man noted for the
shortness of his memory. He carried about
with him a slip Of paper on which was
written the brief marriage form which h e
used WHEN called upon to unite a pair
in the bonds of matrimony. He never
trusted himself to begin the ceremony
without reference to this document
One day, at county fair in a neighbor-
ing town, he was approached by an elderly
couple, WHO expressed their wish to be
married then and there. After some
conversation the Square" agreed to per-
form the ceremony on the spot; and the
three, accompanied by grown-up daughter
of the man and sister of the prospective
bride, stepped into a convenient horseshed.
There the Square began a fruitless
search for the important paper, growing
more and more perturbed as each succeed
ing pocket played him false. At last he
abandoned the search.
Are you willing to marry this woman"
he asked the man, who replied with a
prompt Yes"
'"And you want to marry him?' asked the
justice, turning to the bride.
Il do said she, with promptness equal
to the bridegroom's.
Then said the Square in his most
impressive tone, II hereby pronounce you
married, according to the memorandum
left at home in my other trousers pocket {"

Presupposed Intelligence.

One OF Buffalo's adjacent towns has
an odd character in the person of an
old darkey peddler, commonly known as
Uncle Ike. His peculiarities appertain not
only to himself, but to his possessions,
which consist OF horse and wagon. Out-
wardly the horse has the appearance Of
suffering dire misery with every step he
taxes, being the leanest and hungriest
quadruped that ever chewed hay, but in
wardly, his master asserts that there is
not an animal for miles around with as
much spirit. Re that as it may, Ikes horse
is made the butt of numberless Jokes, and
the animal has become a byword in local
gossip. Ike laughs with the iokers, and
the laugh back on the shoulders of the
senders.
One day he drove up in front of the
village store, and with an unnecessarily
loud whoa" brought his horse to stand
still. a group OF wags sauntered up and
critically surveyed the nag, as is their wont,
pretending TO admire beauties that are
lamenthbly lacking. Finally one of them
noted that Ike had knotted the animals
tail
Hey, Uncle Ike" he cried, what have
you got it tied up in a knot for?''
Look er here, boss, you See dat horse

why, yes, L see that, It's only too
plain

calworld Mr. williams is an old man now,
but he takes as much interest in his pro-
fesSon a : ever. He lives in New York
and he is a perfect epitouie Of theatrical
doingS in the metropolis for the last balf
century. He said yesterday in answe er to a
request for a recollection or two:
Il remember at the Bowery Theater
about 1883 or 1853, We played a piece
called The Lion OF Nubia, in which they
used an old live lion with no claws or teeth
or at least, what he had were in such
dplapIdated condition as to make him
harmless There was Young man named
John Cumbcrson working on the paint
bridge He lost his life at the Brooklyn
Theater fire. He and l were rivals for
the affections Of the wardrobe lady's
daughter, very pretty young girl. Well,
the occasion l am bringing TO notice was
one of the days / had the inside track of
Johnny, and was talking to my girl in the
green room. Rehearsal was going on at
the time / was sitting beside the door,
she opposite, when movement behind me
attracted my attention | turned, ana lOi
the lion had freed himselffrom the cage and
Srood in the doorway. Now, l had been
one of the many that had toTnlentcd the
old animal in his cage. and now hc was
free, with every opportunity to get even.
/ took in the situation at once and sur
veycd it, Wen, there was suite Of stage
furniture stood there with the backs from
the wall for preservation. The girl sat
opposite to me, and in the corner was d
large cheval glass.
Upon the lion making his appearance,
i spoke to the girl, cautioning her not TO
move. The lion strobe into the room very
REALISTICALLY, and proceeded to the mirror.
On seeing his reflection, or, as he supposed,
another lion, he challenged him. and let
out roar that made the tin on the roof
rattle. What became of the girl, or how she
got out l never knew. l know | made n
jump for a recess high in the wall at Che
farther end of the room, where, at one
time, there had been staircase, aud On
my way met the gaze OF d much fri ghten"d
man who had been lying on the sofa of
the suite of furniture. Wherever he got
the start from l do not know, hut he ar
rived on that ledge in the recess just as
quickly as | did While we were roasted
up there, the keeper, having heard the
1umpus, came in. took the lion by the ear,
dragged him away very much against his
will and placed him in his cage as humble
a lion as you ever saw. He need not have
been so humble, either, for he had scared

HENNESSY ADIAMOND THIEF
Inspector Hollinberger Gets Ad-
ditiOnal Information About Him.
Described in the Police Court as
Bad Man and Sent to the Work.
house for Three Months.

James Hennessy the professional crook
who made a bold dash for liberty from
police headquarters and was pursued by
several hundred people Thursday as told
months longer.
Detective Ned Weedon had hmi before
Judge Kiniball this forenoon and charged
him with being a suspicious character
under the vagrancy act
This man is a house worker, "a pick
pocket and al1-around crook and a bad
man. testified the detective. He was
arrested Thursday AT the Baltimore and
Potomac depot by Pinkerton Detective
Seymour Butler, and made a determined
effort to escape. He also had burglar 5
Jimmy in his pocket
Hennessy, tall, slim, and built like a
greyhound for fast running, went upon
the witness stand in his own defense.
Il was waiting for a trai ntO get out Of
town" he said, and whe nj walked over
to the Howard House Mr.. Butler pinched'
me If you will release me l VIII Leave The
city at once"
'Oh, no." replied the court, we al
ways hold back such people as you when
you come to this city. Washington js u very
unhealthy place for men of your ilk. You
can furnis hbOnds in the sum of $500 or
go to the wOrkbouse for three months"
With sullen look ON his face Hennessy
stepped back to the cages.
While the trial was in progress Inspector
Holllnberger received in the mail a rJgues
gallery photograph Of Hennessy. 1t was an
excellent likeness, and, TO the inspector s
surprise, the description on the back Of the
picture gave the fellows occupation As an
expert diamond thief in addition to hIS
other talents the housebrcaking and pOck-
et-picking professions.
1t was then thought that he might be
one OF the men who stole the tray OF dia-
monds from Desio, the F-stTeet jeweler,
and parties who saw the thieves on the
day of the robbery were sent for, but they
failed TO identify him. Hennessy's picture
was taken this morning for the Washington

FARMER TERRIBLY GoRED.
An Angry Bull Lacerates Him With
Its Horns,

Shamokin, IA, Ma : While Wesley
Newberry, d well-known farmcr, was lead
ing bull along the road near Paxinos
yesterday, it was alarmed by an approach
ing passenger train and rushed at New
berry and tossed him into the air The
angry animal again caught him on its
horns and tossed him into stream, and
followed him to the opposite side, where
it renewed its vicious attacks
Just as the bull was goring Newberrv,
the passenger train passed by and seeing
the unfortunate mans danger Engineer
Thomas Umpleby threw open the throttle
and dashed at full speed to FaXinos sta
ton, where the alarm was given.
John Heck and several neighbors inn
mediatcly jumped on their bicycles snd
hurried to Newberry's assistance. They
found him lying helpless on the ground
with the savage beast goEing him to
death. The bull was IaSSoed and thro wn
down before it gave up the battle.
Farmer Newberry presented a horrible
sight. His clothing was in tatters and he
was covered with gashes, bruises and
blood from head to foot
The horns had penetrated deep into his
groin and shoulders. 1t is feared that he
cannot survive.
