DEAFNESS 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 innamed condition Of the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have a
riirnbNng sound or imperfect hearing, and
when lt Is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result. and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored % It's

The question Of allowing one or an
other or several street railways to oc-
cupy Sixth street will probably bel
before the street and Sewer Depart
ment at to-morrow's meeting. IL is al
matter Of very great Importance to the
several companies. To the public toI
business men, to residents of the city
and to residents Of the suburbs that
are, ought to be, or seek to be, tribu-
tary TO this city, it is Of a greater i'm
portance. Commercial bodies, such as
the Board of Trade, are slow to act in
matters in which conflicting interests
are concerned When they do act, there
is. therefore, good presumptive evil
ldence that the case Is Of urgent and un-
usual Importance. The Wilmington
Board of Trade has expressed itself in
the street railway issue, and the em-
phasis it gives to its opinion leaves no
doubt Of its fixed convictions. In its
advocacy Of the Brandywine Springs
| lines on Sixth street the Board OF
Trade does not antagonize the VIII
mington City Railway Company, nor is
the public sentiment that seems so
strongly to approve the position Of the
Board Of Trade moved by any feeling
OF opposition to the old company The
lquestion is simply one Of public bene-
lnts. There is not probably in VIII
lmington, a single business man or Other
citizen who would try to injure the
Wilmington company. If it should ap-
pear to that company that the people
would be benefited more by the Bran
Idywinesprings Co.'S use Of Sixth street
than II would by the use Of that street
by the Wilmington company it ough
not to ask the people to forego suei
benefits.

FERRETING OUT FRAUD.

There is one item in the record OF
the bureau that is significant and sug-
gests the reason for so much adverse
criticism against Commissioner Evans.
This is the item Of 7G pension attor-
neys. who have been disqualified dur
ing the past fiscal year. These are the
men who have stirred up all the trouble
against the Commissioner, and who
have been able, through Grand Army
posts to secure resolutions denunciatory
Of the Commissioner administration.
OF the number Of attorneys disquali-
fed, 63 were disbarred, 10 suspended, 2
dropped and the admission of one re-
voked. The records Of the bureau show
that up to July 1899, there have been
/, 1863 pension attorneys disbarred This
