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 con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
tiaped you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, ann when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be la
ken 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 moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give Ole Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free.

Wonderful Capacity for Figures,


The case of Merritt Rose, a colored
inmate of the Binghampton State Hos
pital, is attracting the attention of the
medical fraternity throughout the
state, and several doctors from New
York City have called to see him.
Rose is an uneducated colored man,
who was born in the South, and came
to this city from New York, where he
was employed around the docks. He
could not read nor write, and arithme-
tic was a scaled book to him.
He led a shiftless life here, and be-
coming mentally unsound, was com
mitted to the hospital, .... ,-..
There after. short time he develop
ed a marvellous capacity for figures
Given a. year and day, of the month
of that year he would Immediately tell
the day of the week. He would go for
ward to 1901 and backward to 1871.
From this he progressed to the solv.
ing of the most complex problems, ,ant
finally reached point Were he coult
recite historical events, giving theil
dates correctly t..
DR.. William A: White became inter
ested and exhibited him before the
Binghampton Academy of Medicine,
The only persons who attempted {
solution of the mystery are the Theo
sophists, who say that the disembodiet
spirit of some educated person occu
pies the body of the uegro.

Spanish Ship Added to Our Navy.

Admiral Dewey has added to the
American navy a former Spanish
transport, now to be known officially
as the Manila. A report of that ship
has been received at the navy depart
ment. The Manila, it appears, has new
er bee min action, and is in fairly good
condition. The machinery shows
signs of abuse and neglect, as does ev-
erything owned by the Spanish COVER
ment, but the few repairs necessary
10 put the vessel in order were made
without troble at the shops at Cavite,
which are now operated by the United
States navy and in charge of Past AS
sistant Engineer Gustave Kaemmer-
ling of the Petrol. The engineer of
che Manila is Passed Assistant Engin-
eer H. g. Leopold, and he has made a
detailed report of the condition of the
ship.

GOLD IMPoRTATIoNs.
For Ten Months of 1898 They Have
Been the Largest I'm History
of the United States.

The importatiors of gold into the
United States in the year 1898 are by far
the largest in the history of the coun-
try, and the expectations are the small
est in many years, while the production
of gold in American mines will prove
the largest in many years, if not the
largest in the country's annals. The
October statement of imports and ex-
ports, just issued by the treasury
bureau of statistics, shows that the to-
tai imports of gold in the ten months
ending October 81, 1898, are $143,65S,-
Ge5, which Is more than so per cent. in
excess of the amount imported in the
corresponding months of any preced-
ing year for more than decade. This
unprecedented flow of gold into the
United States is accounted for; in part
at least, by the enormous balance of
trade in this country's favor which the
ten months of the year have afforded.
In those ten months the total imports
of merchandise amounted to only $527,-
1854, while the total exports were
$0s7 7,964,356, n favorable balance of
trade of $4G0, SOP.

.Dons Claim Yankee Doodle,

1t Is interesting to note, in view of
Spain's many unsuccessful contentious
that that country also claims the tune
OF Yankee Doodle" as it's own. The
critics, however, heve denied her even
this crumb Of comfort The tune of
Yankee Doodle" it has been decided,
probably came to us from Holland, by
the way of England. The foundation
Tor the Spanish claim is given by DR..
Louis Albert Banks in his new book,
Immortal Songs of Camp and Field"
together with the claims of Hungary,
Holland, France and Italy. AS to the
Spanish claim, DR.. Banks tells us that
Mr.. Buckingham Smith, the American
secretary of legation wrote from Mad
rid under the date of June 3, 1858, as
follows:
The tune of Yankee Doodle" from
the first of my showing it here has
been acknowledged by persons ac-
quaihted with music to bear strong
resemblance to che popular airs of Bis
cay; and yesterday professor from
the North recognized it as being much
like the ancient sword-dance played on
solemn occasions by the people of San
Sebastian. He says the tune varies
in those provinces. The first strains
are identically those OF the heroic
Danza Esparte Of brave old Biscay. =.

All Recollection of

Some days ago a well-dresscd man
was found wandering about the streets
Of Binrhamton, N. y, without the
slightest clew us toshis identity. lie
could not tell where he lived or what
his name was. lie was committed to
the state hospital, where he showed
signs of recovery. -
little later on he attended n per-
formancc of Japanese jugglers at the
opera house, and during the show he
rose and called the chief performer a
bungler. lie was invited TO the stage,
where. strangely enough, he performed
tricks that threw the business of the
Japs entirely into the shade. He wasas
deft at balancing and juggling MS
though he had practiced and rehearsed
daily. Where the japanese had kept
four swords in the air he kept half a
dozen. Every trick that had been done
he repeated and did score of others
beside.
The human enigma smiled and bowed
in true professional manner and went
on to the performance of even greater
miracles. Several doctors present tried
after his performance to use the newly
discovered capability as a lever TO pry
the clot from his memory, but the man
could not remember any more than be-
fore.
He afterward said that as soon as he
saw the juggler he realized that the
tools of the trade and the situation were
familiar to him, but he could not recall
when he had ever performed before
He still makes his home at the hospita

An innovation at the Third Baptist
church in Atlanta, Ca, was the use of
six beautiful young ladies as collectors
of the weekly Offering, in place of the
slow-going elders, whose services had
been previously employed. Rev. DR..
Broughton, pastor of this church, is one
Of the most enterprising ministers in
the city. He conceived the idea of ring
ing in change on the old method, and
did it by the means stated above, The
effect was instantly perceptible. The
young men of the congregation, as well
as those of ripper years, were more gem
erous in their responses, giving larger
coins than they have hitherto been in
the habit of contributing. 1t is prob
able that other churches will follow the
example of,Dr. Rroughton.

Ohio Politics as Viewed by the En-
uuirer.

The offices to be filled at the next
state election are those of Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Attorney Gener-
al, Auditor Of State, Treasurer of
State. Judges of the Supreme Court
and Member of the State Board of
Public Works There will be a COM
plete new deal in more than oneLhalf
Of these offices, although several of the
present incumbents are in the cards
for denomination without opposition.
Already in the field for the guberna-
torial nomination are Judge George
X. Nash, of Franklin county; Hon
Charles H. Grosyenor, of Athens; Hon
Asa w. Jones, of Mahoning; Judge j..
H. Doyle, of Lucas; Colonel w. P.
Orr, of Miami, Hon. John Barger, of
Pike, Hon. F. B. Monnett, of Craw-
ford, and Hon. ]. Warren Keifer, of
Clark In addition to these, a number
b distinguished leaders of the party
are mentioned, among them Judge
William r. Day, of Stark, President
McKinl personal representative on
the Peace commission at Paris; Con-
gessman R. w, Taylor, also of Stark,
who hopes to follow in Mckinley s
footsteps all ,.-e way up, and State

others walking around. with lightning

spicuous in the field are Nash Daugh.
erty and Grosvenor, composing a tri-
angular complication which may yet
prove seriously embarrassing to the
National Administration wing, in
which all are Shining lights. Even at
thls early dafe however, it is pre-
dicted that 6VosEenor will drop out
long before the sonvention meets, thus
simplifying theaAdministratlon's po-
sltion to choice between Nash and
Daugherty. On The other hand, there
are facts which lead many to believe
that in due time Judge Day will be put
forward as the Presidents S favorite for
Governor. As to wRRm the Foraker
Bushnell element wiilsbe rallied is as
yet mystery, and maS remain so un-
til another such sunligm of victory as
that which revealed the Nomination ol

threaten all who are identified with
the Foraker element. of which he has
ever been member He was first
nominated with Bushnell three years
ago, and; being a four year office, he
is entitled to the nomination for a sec
ond term. Mr.. Guilbert's absolute
absence of predjudice in office, from a
faetional standpoint and his personal
popularity, has placed him on the sun
ny side of Easy street, so far as the
nomination is concerned.

Education i'm Australia.
From the Leisure Hour.

Perhaps nothing impresses one who Wis
its Australia for the first time more than
the attention given 10 educatio In the
cities and even country towns he will see
commodious school buildings, while the
residents in the lonely bush have usually
a neat school house within easy access. In
all the Australian colonies education is
compulsory and in most of them 1t is free.
In New South Wales and in Western Aus
tralia however. fees are paid to a GER
tain extent. Parents who can afford 10
pay fees are obliged TO do So The teach
ers are well paid In Adelaide and its
suburbs head teachers receive salaries va
ring from $40 to 1850 year, and i'm South
Australia generally the salary of a head
teacher varies from ESQ to $500 year. The
lowest salary paid to any assistant teach
er in South Australia in 1895 was ELS. and
this was exceptional. The cost of primary
education in 1898 in Australia, taken as a
whole, was "a los. 3D. per scholar; and the
cost per head of population was los. Sd.
Within the last two or three years, howev-
er, retrenchment policy has been pretty
generally carried out in educational, as in
other matters The instruction given in
primary schools is of a very high order.
Indeed, until the retrenchment' policy be-
