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 infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases of Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces

A School for Cats

PttsburA PA society for the protec-
ton and amelioration of cats has been or
ganized here.
Rules and bylaws have been adopted and
active operations were inaugurated on Oc-
tober lst. An elaborate and comprehensive
prospectus has been issued, with homeless
tabby on the title page dragging, with for
lorn attitude, an empty can. On the first
floor of the building secured by the society
are an office, storage room for food sup
plies and hospital for sick cats. The sec.
ond floor contains the dormitories and a
large training room, wherein the cats will
be put through a course of physical and men,
tai culture. When a cat is graduated, hav-
ing reached the standard required by its
perceptors, it is entitled to diploma and
comfortable home will be found for it.
The course for cats comprehends precau-
tionary diet against fits. modulntion of
the voice, the incubation of peaceful dis
position, respect for man and dog, and a
distaste for birds, late hours and house roofs.

The Heliograph

With all its superiority in distances, the
heliograph is too uncertain for sole reliance
a passing cloud is sufficient to interrupt the
clearest signals. perhaps in the critical mo-
ment OF a battle; or a sun haze may render
invisible the rays from the largest mirror,
so that, at any time, without clear atmos
phere, the system is useless.
1t is not known that the photographic sys-
TEN has ever been in use on shipboard and
the sea service has nothing for daylight sig
anling that approaches its accomplishment
in dry atmospheres. For night service at
sea the flash light appears to be the best sys-
TEN OF signaling in all weathers; though, on
rare occasions, the long beam of the electric
searchlight, thrown upon the sky has proved
effective for communication when it was
possible by no other means. An instance of
such use was reported few years ago by
two British ships which. while on opposite
side of high promontory nine miles in
width. opened communication with each
other by means of dot-and-tlash flashes on
the sky from their searchlghts.

What Morgan Knows

WASHINGTON, Nov Ex-senator Nor
gan. interviewed by the Times correspon-
dent yesterday, picked large holes in the
claims of Cragin, the Nicaragua canal con-
cessionist.
Il know all about Cragin's syndicate"
said the Senator. HE has not enough,
and stands little chance of getting sutti
Gent money to build this or any other
canal. Mr. Grace, whom he is supposed to
represent, is not interested in his conces-
sion. Once Mr.. Grace was interested, but
Grace's syndicate was dissolved last Oc-
tober and I do not believe it will be brought
together again.
SMr. Cragin is possessed of an adventur-
Gus disposition. His talk about obtaining
capital and building this canal is the most
presumptuous thing | ever heard of. He
will find it will require more than 81 cents
to carry such an undertaking through"

CANAL CONCESSIONS
WILL NOT DELAY THE WORK OF
CONSTRUCTION
Senator Morgan Speaks With Con-
tempt Of the Syndicate Contract
Under Crogin's Management

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA communi-
cation has been received from the American
Minister at Nicaragua in relation to the
concessions granted the American syndicate
company which proposes to construct the
Nicaragua canal, but his cablegram did not
contain the information which Secretary
Hay sought.
Mr.. Hay stated that he was much in the
dark as to what the concessions really were
as he has unoffcally received contradictory
reports. One of these states that the gov
ernment of Nicaragua made certain con
cessions to the American syndicate com
pany subject to the approval of the Mari
time Company.
Another report was that these conces-
sions would be granted if the government
of Costa Rica would grant the syndicate
some concessions which are necessary to the
construction of the canal as proposed by the
new syndicate. Costa Rica has not made
these concessions, and so far as the State
Department was able to learn does not
contemplate doing So
Secretary Hay does not deny the right
of the government at Nicaragua to enter
tain the proposition of the American syn
dicate at the expiration of that granted to
the Maritime Company unless this govern
ment can show good reason why the con-
cession granted it should be extended. In
the meantime the American Minister has
been instructed to protect the rights OF this
government.

A NATIONAL LEAGUE
To Secure the Proper Use of the Taxes
Collected

CHICAGO, Nov. T.-Chicago taxpayers
are asked to join a national organization IN
the order of municipal government. 1t was
proposed to organize the property owners
of every city throughout the country for
the purpose of checking vicious municipal
legislation and the punishment OF men who
betray public trusts.
One of the features is agitation for a uni
form system OF bookkeeping in every public
office. Equality OF tax assessments and
faithful enforcement of revenue laws are to
be assured when the Chicago Public Policy
League becomes a branch of similar organ
izations throughout the United States. The
new league will stand for civil service and
competence before politics. DR.. 5. A. Rob
inson, chairman of the finance committee of
the New York Board of Trade, and Allen
r. Foote of Washington are now making a
tour OF the country to arouse interest in the
project.
Iney say they have met encouragement
everywhere and that in Chicago a number
of citizens have signed the roster for the
Chicago branch Of the league. Mr.. Foote
says; r, -,
Municipal League of Civic Federations at
indianapolis the last of this month, and at
that assemblage | shall fully define the OBJ
jects of the Public Police League, and will
doubtless receive the cooperation of the
former organization to perfect branches in
every city. New York. Boston, Philadel-
phia, St. Louis. Cincinnati and other great
municipalities are organizing and we pro
pose to have a national body whose power
will mean good government in every city of
this country
"The league is to be non-sectarian and
non-partisan. The constitution provides,
in addition to. the objects Of the league pre-
viously named. that it will see that the OBJ.
iects for which funds are collected from tax
payers are properly and honestly expended; {;
that all collections and expenditures are
fully and correctly accounted for, and mu
nicinal property cared for and used exclu-
sively for public purposes"

vice.
Massachusetts has remarkably trustful
board of cattle commissioners. 1t received
such small appropriation this year that it

hoping that the next legislature will REIN

Senator McLaurin and Governor Ellerbee

"Any interference at this time on the

unwise. The excitement at the seat Of trou-
BILE has not yet calmed and any action look

in restoring things to their right condition.
The State administration is doing all that

most unfortunate for the federal authorities
to take any action.

Snails Are in Favor in France

The stories about Frenchmen eating snails
are believed by many people to have no
foundation in fact, but snails are eaten, and
to very considerable extent, in France.
Nearly 100000 pounds weight of snals are
sold daily in the Paris markets to be eaten
by dwelers in that city. They are carefully
yeared for the purpose in extensive snail
gardens in the provinces, and fed on aro-
matte herbs to give them a fine flavor. One
such garden in Dion is said to bring in to
its proprietor several thousand francs a
year.
Many Swiss cantons also contain large
snail gardens, where they are reared with
great pains. They are not only regarded as
great delicacy, but are considered very
nutritious. Hygienists state that they con.
tain II per cent of ntrogenous matter, and
that they are equal to oysters in nutritive
properties.
Snails are also extensively used as an arti-
Gle OF food in Austria, Spain, Italy and Egypt
and the countries on the African side of the
Mediterranean. Indeed, the habit of eating
snails as food has existed in various parts of
Europe for many centuries.-New York

the spirit of American enterprise must iook
to the government to do.

there is navy of the United States pig
enough to guard him wherever he sees NJ

as a protection to commerce on the sea us
well as on land.
The question which confronts us is
larger one than what we shall do with the
