man recently graduated from the
Sheffield Scientific school, is secretary.
The officers of the company. whose
machine is to turn paupers into mill
lionaires, are so confident that they
have great fortunes in their grasp that
they are sending circulars to all parts
of the United States from their hand
somely appointed offices in the Wash

In red ink at the top of the pros
pectus is a finger pointing to the word

how. by following the system, more
than 30 per cent can be made on each
Investment.
sit has been found" continues the
circular, that there is a law undrrly-
ing the tuctuation of values, akin to
the great laws Of gravitatlon. cvon-
ton, electricity and molecular motion.
III is an expression of the law OF sup
ply and demand, and is so pronounced
and rigid in its application that il has

statistics show that in dealing with
the phenomena of changing values.
human judgment is more than 80 per

human frailtics, and its conclusions
are right in the majority of cases.

ever that transactions based upon this
principle and system do not always
show profit; what is ;sSssrtca is chat

the machine earned, exclusive OF brok-
arage commissions, 252 1-2 per cent ON

In letters sent out by MIR. Huston,
| signed by him, occurs the following:
MANY have heretofore claimed to
have systems hat would enable them
to anticipate the rise and fall in val
ues, but all such, so far as the writer
knows, were dependent upon human
| judgment and it's ever attendant frail-
| ties in their operations; while the sys-
tenn we have is made operative
| through a metal machine. wherein the
| judgment of the operator can exert no
influence; it is automatic in its action,
and not subject TO manipulation.
Now, the writer realizes the re-
sponsibility for making such great
claims for our machine and system
that we do but when YOU consider
that such eminent authorities as the
Stevens Institute of Technology, after
most thorough examination, fully
accredit the machine and system, YOU
must conclude, if interested at ali in
such subject, that it is worthy, at
least, of further investigations"

on the South and the Negro.

ON the South and the Negro.
Boston, May 25. The people of Bos-
ton are showing deep interest in the
address of former Governor w. j..
Northen, of Georgia, who spoke be-
fore the Congregational club here last
night, but who, through lack of time,
was compelled TO curtail his speech,
although he occupied more than two
hours. II was the general verdict to-
day that the citizens here never before
have had such AN exhaustive statement
OF the attitude of the south ON the me-
gro question. While some of Mr..
Northens statements did not meet
with the approval of his audience, es-
pecially those with reference TO the
story of "Uncle Toms Cabin, the
general favor with which his state
ments were received was shown by an
expression from he floor, when the
speaker. prompted by the chairman,
was about to close. by a person who
moved that the gentleman be per
mitted to deliver the whole of his adj
dress if it takes all night" The mo-
tion was greeted with applause and
the speaker continued for another half
hour
Although necessarily restricted as to
time. Bishop Arnctt who was to speak
for the negro, held the close attention
of the audience. and as he closed was
given a hearty handshake by cX-Gov-

New York Sons OF Revolution Table
Resolutions Aimed at Him.

1tc0OluvlO0S AIuON NJ I1Iuls
New York, May 25:-The Empire
State Society of the Sons of the Amer
lean Revolution held meeting last
night to consider the national banquet
in Detroit, where Secretary Alger was
eulogized. Robert Roosevelt presided.
Judge Warren Higley read the re-
port of the delegate to the national
meeting. Judge Higley, In describing
the dinner said:
THE speaking was of very high
order and General Alger was favored
guest. In view of some of the unjust
and uncalled for criticisms that have
been made on account of the honor
done to Secretary Alger. l quote the
speech of General Merritt at the BAN
quet."
Judge Higley then proceeded to
quote the eulogies of General Niger
delivered by General Merritt and
others.
The report was not favorably re-
ceived and was the cause of somewhat
animated discussion, accompanied by
the Introduction of several uncompli-
mentary resolutions. President Roosc-
telt presented resolution that had
been referred to the general meeting
by the board of governors, which. i'm.
part, was as follows:
s'The Empire State Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution rc
pudiates in the strongest manner the
use of its national meetings for polit-
ical purposes. Especially does ii con-
denim any attempt to vindicatc the
regulations of public officials or to
compliment those who have been ac-
cused OF unpatriotic neglect of our
soldiers who exposed their lives for
our country.
The first duty of all patriotic socic-
ties is to assist. protect and uphold the
armies of the nation and aid i'm giving
them all the support that the resources
of the country demand"
Judge Higley declared that the res
olutions were disgraceful, and cventu-
ally they were laid on the table.
After more discussion the following
resolutions We're adopted:
Resolved That the Empire State
Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution disavows official response
bility for any sentiment expressed al
said banquet upon controverted polit-
ical questions of the day.
Resolved, That the Sons of the
American Revolution. being merely Il
patriotic and non-partisan organza-
ton, 1t is the sense of the society that
1t should not be used for political pnr-
poses. and the discussion at its meet

view the Pageant.

Washington, May a5s--Beginning
with an imposing parade of military
and other uniformed organizations,
and closing with a display of fireworks
at night, the national capital Ncster-
day inaugurated a three days peace
jubilee. The main thoroughfares of
the city and all the public buildings
are decorated with bunting and the
attractive program of parades and fcs-
tivities has drawn Il large number of
visitors.
The day opened with the boom of big
guns from the Dolphin, which, am
chored off the navy yard, fired the ma
tional salute at sunrise, and church
chimes and hundreds of steam whis-
ties joined in the noisy chorus. At
noon the departments closed and
poured their thousands out to join tho
crowds on the streets. and at the same
hour salute of forty-fiyc guns was
fired.
just as the guns ceased shower OF
rain fell that plastered the bunting
decorations fiat against the house
fronts and caused the crowds to hun
riedly seek shelter. But the shower
wns of short duration, the sun came
out and shone brightly throughout thu
afternoon.
The parade of all the regular army
and naval organizations stationed in
and about Washington, together with
the District of Columbia volunteers,
Delaware National Guard. Chinese n;ki
vol reserves of Philadelphia, veterans
of the Grand Army and the Fourth
and Ninth volunteer regiments was
the feature of the day. There were
over 5000 men i'm line, and the route
was down Pennsylvania avenue,
around the treasury and In front OF
.dhe white house grounds, where d
large reviewing stand had been
erected.
The three squares extending from
the state, war and navy departmental TO
the treasury building had been trans
formed into a court of honor. The av-
enne at this point was black with pco-
pie, and the surrounding parks were

viewing stand he arose and saluted tho

Another interesting and significant
incident was the cheering of Sousa's
| new march, Hands Across the Sea,
which one of the bands struck up as
the reviewing stand was reached. The
applause which greeted it was started
by the diplomats, spread through the
stand, and broke in roar of cheers

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 intiamcd condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the l1ustach-
tan Tube. When this tube gets. infamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when 1t is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination 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 intlamed 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
