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 Eustachan Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness the
result, aad unless the inflammation can
be 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
surfaces

WOMEN IN SWITZERLAND.
Planning for "a Congress of Delegates
froE, All the Cantens,

u
from All the Cantons.
The women of Switzerland are hoDinp
to arrange congress CT women from all
the cantons, to take place during the
exhibition at Geneva next year. They
lcok forward to being able thus to lay
foundation for the formation Of a na-
tional council of women-nct an easy
thing to do when one considers that the
inhabitants OF Switzerland consist of
three different races, with different Ian.
guages and religious creeds.
n society now existing in Geneva.
with branches in other towns, has much
the came spirit and aims as a national
council. 1t is called FUnion des
Femmes, and has taken up the question
of wo'men's wages, of cooperative stores,
of technical educa ton, of dress reform
and woman's moral elevation. Connect
ell with this union is the Society for
Woman's Legal Rights, which last year
achieved great step in advance by pro-
curing for married women the right to
dispose of their own fortune or wages
as the case may be, and to bank the
snme under their own name. Louis
Bridel, professor of law at the Uni
versity of Geneva, has beenmost helpful
in this matter, as in all questions relat-
ing to women, in which, aided by his
wife, he takes the greatest interest.
Feminine education, as everyone
knows, is far advanced in Switzerland,
and the University of Zurich has many
women students, most of whom come,
however, from either lands. 1t was here
that DR.. Emily Kempin, the first lec-
turer of the woman's law c,ass of the
University ofHhe City of New York, was
trained. She had long and hard strug-
gle before being allowed to practice her
calling, but the fight has been a success
full one, for she is now not only engaged
in active professional work, but is also
professor at law at her alma mater

GIRL DID THE REST.
Captain of Police Chambers Makes a
Successful Test of an Elec.
trio Lamp.

The Ever Ready Electric lamp is a
wonderful improvement over the old
style dark lantern and the Police Depart
ment of Wilmington is seriously con-
sidering the advisability of purchasing
the new lamp for the use Of its officers.
The lamp is not unlike an extra large
nickle mounted whip socket and to turn
the light on you simply press button.
Police Captain Chambers has one and
has made many successful experiments
with it. He has stood across the street
and lighted up the full depth OF an alley
on the other side
Captain Chambers tried the lamp the
other evening on Market street store
room, and from the outside it lighted up
the interior of the store and made things
visible on Shipey street, through the
back windows of the building.
The darker the night the better the
light, as a colored girl can testify
who is living witness Of the brightness
of the electric torch. Captain Chambers
was coming in from home and heard
some one coming toward him on the
same side of the street, and, as the night
was extremely dark, he took the lamp
from his pocket and touched the button

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
Special Officer Dugan Accosts a Col

Special Officer Dugan made rather
close escape from being shot by an un.

Market streets early yesterday morning.
The special spied the colored man act.
ing in suspicious manner and looking
in store windows on Third street between
King and Market.
He kept a watch on the man and
finally went up to him and wanted to
know what he was about. The man was
startled by the appearance of the officer
and calling the officer vile name, sud-
denly made a dash and started down the
street. The officer made an effort to
stop him and the fleeing man turning,
pulled a revolver from his pocket and
fired.
The shot went wide of the mark, as
the man was on the run. He had the
start Of the officer and being fleet of foot
made his escape.
1t is thought he was about to break
into some store when disturbed by the
alert officer. He is likely one OF the
