Monkey. Growing Scarce.

From the Westminster Gazette: With
the gradual extinction. as evidenced by
the recently issued return of the Cape
agricultural department, of the various
species OF big game in South Africa,
it is not surprising to learn from a re-
port Just made to the colonial office
that monkey skins are scarcer than
formerly on the gold coast, the increas-
ing warfare which is carried on against
these unfortunate animals having re-
suited in a total determination of the
species in the less distant provinces.
In 1894 no fewer than 16S, ,405 skins
we're exported, valued at e41,OO1,
whereas last year the number fell to

The agitation over black bread"
which was started in Chicago has been
transferred to congress. Senator Mason
has introduced bill in the senate plac-
ing an internal revenue tax on blended
-four made from corn -four and wheat
flour mixed. 1t has developed that
nearly all the country south of the
Ohio River is using blended flour: and
that this sproduct has gradually been in
.troduced into the northern markets.
Its use has recently Increased owing to
the growing scarcity of good winter
wheat. and the further fact that Joseph
Letter has purchased more than 15,000.-
900 bushels, and is holding 1t for what
is considered an inevitable rise to sl.50
a bushel. There promises to be battle

Two men recently killed by the law
died with protestations of innocence
on their lips. and the result is some
sympathetic comment in their behalf.
But we believe the last words of dis
tinguished murderers convicted on
circumstantial evidence have been of
that character in eight out of ten cases
and 1t is a fair inference that the per-
son capable of murder is likewise ca
pable of the minor crime of lying even
at the moment of his punishment. Pos
sibly, too. he has proclaimed his inno-
cence SO many times that he has come
to believe in 1t himself, however guilty
he may be. Ii Is clear bluff: and again
he may have a courteous objection in
behalf of himself to denial of his pre-

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness and tnat is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an intlamcd condition of the

When this tube is intlamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect 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

Fire Oh the Fair Grounds.

At an early hour on Saturday morning
last the largest stable on the grounds of
the Southern Maryland Fair Association
in Marlboro was burned to the ground
The fire was discovered about 12 o'clock
and many of the citizens focked to the
scene. Fortunately. the night was calm
and the fire was confined to the enc build
ing. When the fire had completely died
down the remains of an unknown white
man were discovered; the body was burned
beyond recognition, the arms and legs be-
ing almost entirely burnt off.
Deputy Tighe summoned a jury of in
quest at II O'Clock a. m, Squire Harper
acting as coroner. No clue could be OBJ
tanned as to the origin of the fire or the
name of the victim. In accordance, the
jury rendered verdict that the unknown
man came to his death from sutfocation
caused by fire, the cause of which is I'M
known to this jury" 1t is evident from
surrounding circumstances that the man,
who is supposed to have been looking for
work on the railroad, got into the stable
10 sleep, and it is more than probable that
there were others with him, and that some
| of them through carelessness set fire to
the building and the dead man was sutfo-
Gated before the fire reached him. The
report that the man was murdered has no
foundation in fact, as there was nothing
developed at the inquest that would sub
stantiate such theory Sensational ru-
mors of this sort accomplish no good, on
the contrary create impressions that only
tend to injure our community. The guard
made his usual rounds about p. N. and
found everything in proper condition
| Great care is taken to protect the Associa
tons property, and every precautlon used
to guard against fire. On this occasion
the usual vigilance was exercised and ne
blame can be attached to those whose duty
is to care for the buildings and grounds
There was partial insurance in the Nh
tual Fire Insurance Company of Mont
gomery county.-Gd=cH'.
