SLOWLY GROWING WEAKER
Vice-President Hobart is Living

Daily Growing Weaker.

Paterson, \. J., Nov. 6.-The condi-

little changed, except that he is slight
Iy weaker. He slept good part of the
night.
DR.. Newton again spent the night al
Carol Hall, and said that Mr.. Hobart
rested as well as could be expected
under the circumstances. He denied
emphatically the statement published
in one of the morning papers to the
effect that Mr.. Hobart was suffering
from cancer of the stomach. He said
that the statement given out by him,
several days ago, with the consent of
the family, entirely covered the NAL
Ddy of the vice-president, and added
that there had been no new develop
ment of the disease. His official morn

the above statements.
Mr.. Hobart takes no solid food and
comparatively little nourishment. His
vitality upon which he is living, is
remarkable, and his cheerfulness is
a strong factor in sustaining the mem

THE ICE MACHINES PART.
At Last There Has Been a New Fea-
ture Introduced Into Uncle
Toms Cabin.

There is a new wrinkle in "Uncle Toms
Cabin" theatrical companies. One of them,
which is ransacking the state of New Jer-
sey for audiences, has hit upon the device of
buying refrigerating machine and using
real blocks of ice in the scene in which Eliza,
pursued by a pack of barking mongrels,
crosses the river carrying in her arms a
stuffed doll.
The icemaking machine has proved an
enormous success. At the Ridgewood opera
house, where the ice machine played a few
evenings ago, frantic crowd fought its way
through the doors. At the first perform
ground. Several cakes were manufactured
before the performance and placed on the
green baiZe river. They were carefully sand
ed on the surface, so that when Eliza made
her grand dash for liberty she would not
turn undignifed somersaults. The ice ma
chine, however, had been so largely adver-
tsed that yokels wanted to see it. They
sat in their places after the curtain de-
scended upon the solemn death of Little
Eva and howled for the ice machine to come
out and show itself. The stage manager
and a couple of deck hands had to carry it
down to the footlights. Then they turned
the handle and, amid uproarous applause,
the machine produced cake of real ice.
Since then part has been written in the
play for the ice machine When the river
scene opens a couple of southern spectators
are discovered experimenting with the
machine. They produce their ice, and not
having any immediate use for it turn it into
the river and it sits upon the river surface
at proper intervals to accommodate Eliza 5
footsteps. A colored man comes out and
sprinkles sand over the ice in full view of
the audience.-Chicago Chronicle.

Music caused the death of a three

the animal had heard the music of a
brass band.

FAMOUS PEOPLES EYES.

The duke of Wellington had, it i:
said, blue hawks eyes cleaning with
military genius.
Audubon, as became naturalist, had
''hawklike eyes that flashed like a
searchlight and were ever on the alert
for each movement of animated ma
ture."
Charles Lamb is described as having
glittering eyes, strangely dissimilar in
color, one being hazel, the other having
specks of gray in the iris, as you see
red spots in the bloodstone.
According to Trelawney no man had
brighter eyes than Byron; they were
gray and fringea with long black lashes
Lady Blessington, writing of him few
months before his departure to Greece
adds that one eye was visibly larger
than the other.
The most striking feature of Burns
was his large dark eye. 1t was, we are
told by one writer, full of mind and
literally glowed when he spoke with
emotion or interest" Sir w. Scott,
who knew the poet when he lived in
other eye in a human head, and have
seen the most distinguished men of my
time"
Eyes, as we know, are apt to vary
considerably in shades of color in the
same individual from time to time-a
fact that explains why WORDSWORTH
familiar description of Coleridge as a
noticeable man with large gray eyes
does not quite agree with Carlyle's i'm
preston that his eyes were of a light
hazel, nor this again with the writer
who found them light gray, prominent
and of liquid brillliancy, as though the
orb itself retreated to the innermost
recesses of the BRAIN
Chatterton's brilliant gray eyes were
his most remarkable feature. Under
strong excitement one appeared bright
er, and, as in the case of Byron, larger
than the other. Calcott says: "It was
like the eye of hawk, and one could see
his soul through it," Barrett never
saw such eyes, fire rolling at the bot
tom of Them" and he confesses that he
often purposely differed in opinion from
Chatterton to see how wonderfully his
eye would strike fire, kindle and blaze
up.
There are annually killed in Africa at
least $4,000 elephants, yielding a guam
tity of raw ivory, the selling price of
which is $4,000.

penfne.s Cannon 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 condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have a rumbling
1ound 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 it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
