Deafness Cannot be Cured

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 infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have
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 inflamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

1t Has All Changed.

The enormous profits of a
few years ago, which pre-
vailed in the jewelry busi-
ness, has all changed since
the advent of SPECK
in that line. The politician
would have you believe that
gold has a "standard" value,
while the old time Jeweler
had its value at three times
"standard." Of course it
cost something to make the
metal in artistic designs,
but it is only a fair price
that SPECK wants and he
is the envy of all rivals.

Decision of Health Officer in Three
Suspected Cases.

A case supposed to be smallpox was re-
ported to the District health office this
afternoon. but il has been found il was not
a genuine cass ana also that the two per
SONS supposed yesterday to be suffering
case reported today as suspicious was dis
covered in Southwest Washington, in which
section the first case was found.
Speaking to a Star reporter today on the
question of a quarantine against AleXan-
dria, where there are said to be between
forty and fifty cases, DR.. Woodward said
he does not believe that a strict quarantine
such would exclude intercourse between
the two cities is justified by the existing
conditions. He doubted, too, whether the
District authorities are empowered to es-
tablsh such a quarantine.
He suggested that the authority to pre-
vent such Intercourse rests in the Pres
ident, and in support of this statement he
referred to the act of Congress of March
%, 1890.
This act directs that the rules and regu-
lations shall be prepared by the supervising
surgeon general of the marine hospital
service under the Secretary's direction and
provides n penalty of a fine of not more
than $500 or Imprisonment for not more
than two years, or both, in The discretion
of the court
DR.. Woodward repeated TODAY that there
is no occasion for alarm, and expressed
himself as being able To prevent any gen
eral spread of the disease. AT present there
are but three persons afflicted with small.
pex in the District. They are in the Dis
trict smallpox hospital and are doing well.
1t is said the type of the disease prevailing

The jury having in its hands the fate Of
Edward Smith, tried in Criminal Court No

not been able to reach an agreement up to

1t was thought that a verdict would be
reported within a short time. At :; 80
O'Clock, however, nothing had been heard
from the jury, and Justice Cole left the
court building. He returned at O'Clock

When court was opened, at 10 O'Clock this
morning, Justice Cole received a note from
the foPman of the jury to the effect THAI
the jury was unable to agree. He ordered
that they be brought into court and inquir-
ed If they desired any further instruction as
TO the law in the case. Ii was developed
that the jury had agreed to facts. but

The statement was openly made about
the city hall that ten members of the Jury
are solid for a verdict of guilty. without
qualification. while the remaining two MEM
bers insist on qualifying the verdict with
the words, without capital punishment"
The further assertion is made that the
minority eier'ent of the jury consists of the
two colored members.
Justice Cole remarked that he saw no
reason why the jury should not be able 10
agree and added that it was due the de-
Iendint as Wei as the government that
they should reach a conclusion. He there
fore directed that they retire for further
delibersition.
Before leaving the court room one Juror
requested permission to visit his home In
company with deputy marshal. for half
an hour, in order that he might attend
to some very important business. The re-
quest WAS denied. Another asked IL he
might send letter to his wife, because he
feared. she might be anxious about him in
view of his continued absence from home.
With the understanding that the letter
should ftrs1 be submitted to a deputy mar

Morgan Senate Neasure-The
New Features.

The House committee on interstate and
,oreign commerce today directed a favor
aole report on the Hepburn Nicaragua
canal bill, with amendments, as substi-
tute for the Morgan bin passed by the Sen
ate. tI
The essential feature of the bill as re-
ported is that it authorizes the President
Of the United States to acquire by purchase
from Nicaragua and Costa Rica the terri
tory necessary to build the canal and then
to proceed with the construction of the
canal. One hundred and fifteen million dol
lars is appropriated for the completion OF
the work authorized
The changes made in the original Hep
burn bill are in reducing the appropriation
from $l4o,o6o,b0 to $1lj $50 0o0; striking
out the provision for the acquisition OF
full ownership, jurisdiction and sovereign
ty over the route and in adding civil en-
giileers from the navy and civil life to these
of the army for the purpose of making sur
veys.
When the subject was taken up at the
meeting of the commerce committee today
1t was hrst determined without the for
maity OF vote that Chairman Hepburn 5
bill should be reported as embodying the
opinions of the committee
Expeditins Legislation.
The main question was as to eXpediting
the Legislation. For this purpose Mr.. Low
ering of Massachusetts moved that the
Morgan Senate bill be taken up all after
the enacting clause struck out and the
Hepburn bill substituted This was approv-
ed, and the substituted bill was then chang
ed in soma particulars. On motion of
Mr.. Barham of California. the requirement
for our full ownership and sovereignty
over the routc was struck out. An amend
ment by Mr. Sherman of New York. au-
thorizine the President to negotiate with
private companies or associations Tor con-
cessions and rights, was defeated.
Mr.. Hinrichsen of Illinois secured the
adoption of an amendment reducing the
