To Give Thanks.

Cardinal Gibbons has prepared a cir
cular to be read In the Roman Catholic
Churches Sunday morning, which is in
tended to carry out the suggestion made
by President Mckinley, that the people
of the land unite in giving thanks for the
victory of the American fleet off Santiago.
The Cardinals letter calls upon the
people to return thanks to Almighty God
for His blessing upon the arms of this
land in the conflict with the Spanish fleet,
for the victory achieved and for the escape
of the Americans with comparatively no
loss.
The circular further asks that prayers
be said for an early and bloodless end to
the war
The Cardinal also directs in his letter
that certain prayers be said by the clergy
at this service for the blessings of God.

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
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inflamed you have a
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation
can he taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrhj
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

July Crop Report.

The July crop report of the Department
of Agriculture says:
| Preliminary returns to the Department
of Agriculture on the acreage of corn in

area harvested last year. There is a de
crease of SOP 900 acres in Illinois, of 3O3,,
600 in Iowa, of 661 900 in Missouri, of ,aa
600 in Kansas and of 4S2 600 in Nebraska
A majority of the Southern States report
an increase, ranging from per cent. in
the case of North Carolina and Georgia,
to per cent. in Texas. The average con-
dition, 90.5, although &c points higher
than the condition for the corresponding
date of last year, is, with the exception of
1899 and 1897, the lowest July condition
in ten years, the average for that period
being 81 ;.
The condition of winter wheat, S3.1, is
81 points lower than last month, but is
still As points higher than at the CORE
spending date last year and As points
higher than the average for the past ten
years.
The average condition of spring wheat
is 95. This is 3.S points higher than at the
corresponding date last year, GO above the
average for the past ten years and is the
highest July average, with two exceptions,
in thirteen years.
The average condition of spring and
winter wheat combined is S9.4, which is
As points higher than at the correspond
ing date last year and 6 points higher than
on July 1st, 1896. The percentage of the
wheat crop of 1897 reported as still on
hand ON July 1st 1898, is 1886 per cent.
The average condition of the oat crop,
92.s, is SO points lower than last month,
but is 50 points higher than at the CORE
spending date last year, 40 points higher
than the average for the past ten years,
and is, with one exception, the highest
since 1882
There is an increase of Is per cent. in
the acreage of Irish potatoes. The aver
age condition, $50, is ~ points higher
than at the corresponding date last year,
and is 90 points above the ten year aver
age.
There is marked increase in the acre
age of tobacco in nearly all the States Of
principal production. Kentucky report
ing an increase of 8 per cent, Virginia 4
per cent, Tennessee Is per cent. and Ohio
per cent There is Il reduction of 6 per
cent in North Carolina and of - per cent.
in Florida. The average condition is
much better than at the corresponding
date last year.
The reports as to forage crops are favor
able, with few exceptions. The outlook
for the apple crop is discouraging. Of the
fourteen principal apple growing States
eleven report even lower average of con-
dition than at the corresponding date last
year.
With but few notable exceptions,
among which is Georgia with a condition
of 1O4 indications as to the peach crop
are somewhat unfavorable The wool re-

ST. PAUL's PARISH,

ST. PAUL's PARISH,
Aquasco, Md, July 9th, 1898.
Mr.. EprToR:-Will you please publish
the following letter which have just re-
ccivc! from the leader of the National
Guard Brigade Band, explaining why
they failed to put in appearance at the
Patriotic Celebration which we had at
Woodville on the 4th. For my own part
| consider the reason given as no excuse
at all, but the letter at least makes it clear
that we had done everything possible, and
so were not at all responsible for the fact
that, in this particular, our celebration
was not as advertised.
COPY OF LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c.,
July 9TH, 1898.
DEAR MIR. STRYkER Il am exceeding
ly sorry that you were disappointed yes
terday in not having the music. | went
to the armory in the morning, got out the
music, and saw the men were uniformed.
Then went to the railroad station, and got
the tickets. | gave them to Mr.. McDon
aid who was to have charge Of the party,
and when he went home he thought he
put them in the pocket of his uni
form coat. They met at the depot and
when he came to look for the tickets, they
were not there. They did net have enough
money with them to buy tickets, and while
they were talking the train left. This
morning he found them in mis- other coat,
and l have left them to be redeemed, and
will forward the amount to you without
delay.
am very sorry indeed that the men did
not come, and if had been in town and
accessible would have got them off some
how, but they knew no one to arrange it
for them.
Very truly yours,
(Signed.) D. B. Macleod
feel that this explanation is due not
only to those who had the matter in
charge, but to the many people who were
attracted there by the promise of music
from the city. Any entertainment, or
like thing, held at Woodville may be look
cd for to be equal to the advertisement,
as far as painstaking care can so arrange
it, and where it is not So it is because of
beyond the control of the
pr omotcrs.
Thanking you for the courtesy of space
in your paper, am,
Very sincerely,

\ Call to Duty.

DR.. Charles c. Marbury, son of the late
Fendall Marhury, Esq, of this county,
has entered the service of the Government,
as Assistant Surgeon, and is now with the
hospital ship, Relief" off the coast OF
Cuba, ministering to the necessities OF
sick and wounded soldiers and sailors
He was appointed without making appli-
cation, and his commission and orders
came SO suddenly and Unexpectedly on
the End instant, that he had only half
day to get ready for his departure The
highly complimentary manner in which
he received his appointment is gratifying
to his relatives and friends hear, and al
though he had but recently resumed the
practice of his profession after a severe ill
ness, and was caring for the patients OF
Dr. Bayne who several weeks ago assum
cd charge of the Hospital at Chicka
manga, Dr. Marbury felt it his duty 20
go, and acting under this patriotic impulse
he is now rendering efficient service in
the cause of his country and humanity.
We trust he may soon be restored to his
family in health and ST. ength, having won
distinction and honor at the seat of war.
The Price Of Canned Goods
Advancing.
The price of canned goods is on the rise
and the average increase of prices is now
placed ut ahout ten to fifteen per cent
Canned goods brokers say that higher
prices will affect that class of goods not
yet canned as well as those already can
ned Peas have been canned and string
beans are now being packed. Those ar
ticles yet to be packed include in a general
way tomatoes, peaches and those fruits,
&c, now ripening. There has been no
material change in the price for spot
tomatoes, but an increase in those to be
packed is looked for. The greatest in
crease is noted in gOoscberries, which
have gone up from forty-five cents per
dozen cans to seventy and seventy-ive
cents. The increase in price is attributed
principally to storage in crops. Those
acquainted with the trade state that the
present war is not responsible for the
increase in price, since goods not supplied
to the army are affected. 1t is stated, also
that better times, which bring about a de-
mand for goods not considered necessi-
ties, may also tend to put up the cost of
those goods.
