affecting one. although both strove to
maintain their composure.

publicly announced his intention to ac-
company Durrant upon the scaffold,
was not admitted TO the prison, and as
the prisoner refused to see either Chap
lain Brahms or the Rev. William RAIDER,
the Protestant clergyman who visited
( him recently, II was decided both by the
| prisoner and his mother that the Rev.
Father Lagan should be sent for.
Durrants parents met Father Lagan
In the wardens office and accompanied
him to the death chamber, where the
prisoner was given extreme JUNCTION
and the Catholic service was performed.
Durrant evinced the most lively inter-
est In the service. He conversed with
his parents for few minutes and then
bade them farewell and prepared for
his march TO the scaffold.
Durrant made a brief speech from the
scaffold In quiet tones, asserting his
innocence and forgiving those who had
as he said, prosecuted him, mentioning
especially the press Of San Francisco
His last words were, 81 am innocent"
His death appeared to be painless

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 inhamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed 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 normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an Infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any. case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot he cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars; free.
