There is only one way tocure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-

famed you have a rumpling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is theresult, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nihe cases out of ten are caus-

WHAT GAGE WANTS.
Will Recommend Permanent Estab-
lishment of Gold Standard.

New York, Oct. 31.-A special to the
Herald from Washington, D. C., says:
Enactment of the gold standard into
law and reform of the banking cur
rency laws so as to give the country a
more elastic bank note currency will be
the leading recommendations of Secre-
tary Cages annual report.
When the secretary went before the
banking and currency commission of
the house of representatives early in
the present administration and declar-
ed emphatically for the enactment of
the gold standard into law, he startled
many of his party associates. He stood
his ground, however, and has had the
satisfaction of seeing the rank and file
of his party with some exceptions, come
up to the standard which he has plant
ed.
In the same way the secretary will
now take advanced ground in favor of
hank reform and a system of banking
which will allow banks to issue their
own notes to meet extraordinary de-
mands for currency. The secretary be-
lieves that a system of bank note issues
can be devised which will insure the
safety of the note holder and at the
same time not endanger the safety of
the money intrusted to the banks by
depositors.
He will recommend the enactment of
a law providing for the issue of notes
against deposits of bonds and green
backs, treasury notes or silver certifi-
Gates and allowing the banks to issue
additional notes against their assets
The details of the plan will be princi-
pally the same as those which he recon-

THERE Is YET ROOM.
Volunteers Will Be Accepted at the
Rate of 1000 Per Month.

New York, Oct. 31.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Not
withstanding that all of the new volun-
teer regiments have their full quota of
men, there is still chance for young
America" to serve his country in the
Philippines, Cuba or Porto Rico. Army
recruiting is to go right along to fill ex-
listing vacancies in all of those places
but under a somewhat different system.
orders will be issued in a day or two
relieving the hundred officers now on
recruiting service to take effect on De
cember 1 next, and closing some tenn
porary recruiting rendezvouses- instead
of more than 100 stations there viii be
only fOrty-twO after the date mention
ed. Dispatches were sent to General
Otis General Brooke and General Davis
a few days ago directing them to des1g-
nate one officer from each regiment
within their respective commands for
recruiting service. Commanding ON
GERS in the United States have also
been requested to designate one officer
from each regiment serving in this
country. The details made in this way
will give a force of forty-twO officers,
especially assigned for recruiting duty
for a period of two years.
This is a larger force than detailed
for this service prior to the war, as a
detail from each of the seven artillery
regiments is to be allowed Heretofore
only cavalry and infantry officers have
been engaged on recruiting duty. 1t is
expected that there will be great
clamOr among the officers serving in
Cuba and Porto Rico to secure these
details. as the assignment will bring
them home, where they can be with
their families. That there may be no
favoritism at this end of the line, the
secretary has decided to leave the selec-
ton entirely in the hands of command
ing officers. The army is now recruited
to within 900 of it's authorized strength
of 100000 men. 1t is estimated that
vacancies will occur in the Philippines,
by reason of casualties and expiration
of terms of service at the rate of five
hundred a month and at about the same
rate among the troops in the United
States and Cuba and Porto Rico, max
ing about 1000 men that will be re-
o1lired each month

sARDOU's ROBRsPIERRE.
Sir Henry Irving and Ellen Terry
Present the Play Successfully
in New York.

New York, Oct 31.-Sfr Henry Irv-
ing, Ellen Terry and the Lincoln Ly-
ceum company gave at the Knicker-
booker theater last night the first Am
erican presentation of Sardou's Robe
spierre'' as it has been rendered into
English by Lawrence Irving, son of the
distinguished actor and himself a, MEM
Der of the Lyceum company. The stage
setting of the play was equal to any
thing that has been done in this cOun-
try under Sir Henry IrVing's manage
ment, and was well nigh perfect in de-
tail. Particularly impressive were a
scene in the courtyard of the prison of
Port Libre, filled with people awaiting
the guillotine and that one which repre-
scented the fete of the supreme being.
The play introduces Robespierre just
after he has attained the summit of his
power, after DantOn and Marat have
fallen, and when the clouds are begin
ming to gather that in the end break
upon and oVerWhelm then the man who
has shed the blood of thousands of his
fellows with Economical Indifference.
The part played by Miss Terry is that
of CIarisse de Malucon, the mother of
RObeSpierre's son, Oliver, played ex-
ceedingly well by Harry s. Stanford
In the development of the story of the
drama, mother, son and father are in
VOlved in the final catastrophe, the son
being made the tool of the enemies of
the dictator and led into an attempt
to assassinate his father, without, how
ever, being aware of the relationship.
A scene that in less artistic hands
than those of Sir Henry Irving might
have Appropriated an ante-climaX, was
the one in the fourth act in which
Robespierre, visiting the Conciergerie
prison yard in search of his son,is over
come with the horror of the situation
and in awakening from a trance be-
holds a vision of those whom he has
sent to the guillotine and who follow
him with ghostly eyes and fingers, de-
nOuncing him as murderer In this
scene Sir Henry was probably at his
greatest of the evening, though in the
final scene, where, wounded by his son,
he is led away to the place of execution,
he maintained his hold upon his audi
ence in a way that thrilled them to the
very marrow.
The audience was one of the best that
ever assembled within the walls of a
New York theater, and it's apprecia-
ton of Sir Henry's acting and that of
Miss Terry and the Lyceum company
as a whole was unstintingly manifest

protest against the appropriation. Tt
was the first time in the history of the
town that the Democrats had asserted
themselves in a fOrceful manner. Mr..
ingalls,, then editor pro TEN of the Re
publican newspaper, demanded that the
Republican aldermen rebuke the DEM
ocratss and particularly the Demo-
cratic sheet, which at that time was
under temporary management of an ex-
confederate, the owner and editor being
absent for his health. Party spirit was
fierce Citizens denounced one another
IN the street; Republicans who had
advertised in the Democratic paper
withdrew their patronage, and Demo-
Gratis who had advertisements in the
Republican newspaper quit it.
President Grant made the trip on the
Central Branch road. He and his par
ty and the committee from Atchison
left the train when it arrived at the
prairie terminus. and wandered around
in the grass while a glee club furnished
the music. The train returned in the
night and proceeded on it's journey
There was no banquet The Demo-
Gratis had won half the fight. The coun-
ell paid for the jaunt to the prairie
Peace prevailed, but when the owner
of the Democratic publication returned
he was incehsed at the attitude of his
paper, and the ex-confederate editor
went back to Missouri, where he re-
sumed 'cussin' the government with
out mOleStatiOn.

Southern Railroad company, by the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, which
has just been made public, will change
to a certain extent the building plans
which the Santa Fe now has under way
in Oklahoma.
The line projected from Bliss, south
east by way of Pawnee to the conf1u-
ence of the Cimarron and Arkansas riv-
erS, will begin at Cross, instead of
Bliss. The Hutchinson & Southern runs
from Hutchinson to Cross, a distance of
about $50 miles. This change will car
ry the contemplated line north of the
across the Arkansas river.
The lines which the Santa Fe will
build first in Oklahoma will embrace
parts of the three routes outlined in the
Santa Fe's charter and will be as fol-
lows: From Guthrie along the south
line of the Cimarron river, to a point
northwest across the Cimarron river to
Saltwater, thence northeast to Pawnee
and thence northwest to Cross
The line from the point near Plumb
eastward into the Creek nation is to be
constructed before the line from Paw
nee to Pawhusixa is built. Contracts
for the roadbed between Saltwater and
PaWnee have been let. Similar con-
tracts from Guthrie practically all the
way to Saltwater have been let Much
of the rOadbed out of Guthrie has been
completed and a number of miles of
rails laid.
