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 constltu-
honal remedies. Deafness Is caused by an in

the result, and unless the Inflammation c4n be

ANIMALS WHO sHuN HEAT.



ScorchInE Day.
''wild animals oppressed by heat are
almost human in their actions" observed
a naturalist. "They seek shelter from
the sun, thirst much for water and fall
down at last, sunstruek. The tigers of
India and the lions of Africa seek jun.
giles that are nearly impenetrable to man,
where in pools they wallow for hours,
chin deep, in the water rather than en-
dure the intense heat of the sun driving
through the mass of foliage overhead.
Further than this, they may sometimes
be surprised like deer in the water.
In hot weather fishermen often see
along the shores of the Adirondack and
Maine lakes numbers of deer. These an
imals make frequent visits during the
day to the water, where they nibble at a
lily, pod now and again and swim across
to the Islands or to the opposite shore to
cool off their overheated bodies.
Cattle seek the woods and shade spots
when the sun begins to show its fury. but
they are often driven out of such cool
places by more deadly enemy-the ar
mics of bloodthirsty and keenly weapon
ed insects-and resort to the hills. Curl
ousiy enough. many insects prefer keep
ing in the shade to uuenching their thirst
for blood. When cattle seek the pools
and streams, fishes gather around to snap
up the flies killed by the tails of the
beasts. .-4.- s

Cornelius Vanderbilt was the sldest son
of the late william II. Wander bilt. and
was born on Staten Island, November
"a, lsi3.
William II. Vanderbilt his father, was
at that time a farmer, and CsrnelIus at
the age of IS, left school and secured a
place as messenger in the Shoe and
Leather bank.
Cornelius left the Shoe and Leather
bank to go into the employ of Nissan
Brothers, bankers, but later his grand
father asked him to enter the railroad
service.
The first place he was given was that
of assistant treasurer Of the New York
and Harlem railroad. His rise was RAPID
and he succeeded his father as head OF
the Vanderbilt system.
Mr.. Vanderbilts active career was
practically closed when he suffered the
paralytic stroke of 1896.
Despite his enormous business he found
time to devote to church and Sunday
school work, which he begun in early
life. He gave freely to the Railroad
branch of the Y. NJ. Q. A. and the work
of St. Bartholomew's Protestant Episco-
pal church in this city.
Mr. Vanderbilt's great business career
has made his life necessarily methodical
and he was noted for his punotuality.
MIR. vanderbilt's death was caused by
q stroke of paralysis, the second which he
suffered. The first attack was in July,
1896. The stroke which caused death oc-
CURED about five o'clock. The patient
was semi-cUDs,ious until death. Dr. e.
g. Baneway and DIR. Butler were with
him when hs died.
DIR. Depew reached the Vanderbilt
house at 7S0 o'clock. He remained but
ten minutes.
Mr.. Vanderbilt married Alice Gywnn
the daughter of q Cincinnati lawyer.
He was 80 years old at the time Of his
marriage. There are five living children.
The first son, William H.. died in 1892,
while student In Yale university.

BEAUTIFYING THE CITY

If the present condition of the 1aw re-
garolng assessments on real property for
iocaI Improvement IS as stated by Mr.
Charles N. Bell recently. there will he
much cause for regret on the mart of
those who desire to see the Identification
OF the city OF st. Paul proceed as gen.
orally and as rapidly as possible. If ia
doubtful whether in the entire country
there is another city in which so mrcb

bounties upon US; and where the city at

been made for somebody's enrichment
FOR twelve or fifteen years, if not longer.
the fight has gone on steadily In the
courts on behalf of Individual pronertv
owners against needed improvements
The development of our park system has
been stayed, If not prevented by inces-
SAINT litigation. What has been done for
the Identification of the city has been
done in every case at the muzzle of q
legal revolver, so to speak.
No doubt there has been considerable
merit in the opposition presented bv
private property owners in many cases
and that unnecessary expense has been
avoided In more than ono instance. But
incessant opposition to requirements
which must ultimately enhance the value
of the property affected as well as add
to the city's desirability as a place Of
residence should be none the less dis
countenanced.
On it's face it seems NOE an unreason-

There Is perhaps not another instance
on record of a private American citizen,
IN nowise identified with our national
concerns, either in the past or present,
being the recipient Of so much of public
and private attention from European
peoples as has been bestowed on Arch
bishop Ireland within the past few weeks.
1t was believed by many that the ap-
pearance of Mgr Ireland at Rome
involved in some way an expression of
papal displeasure in connection with the
episode of Americanism. The archbish-
OPS enemies somewhat seduleusly cult
waited that view. The sequel, as repre-
scented by the oapal encycIical and in
the events subsequently transpiring, Is
far from carrying out this view.
There is a belief, more or less general,
that our distinguished townsman was
only prevented from being chosen as, one
Of our peace commissioners to The Hague
by the unwillingness Of the government
of King Humbert to participate in the
conference in case the papacy were in
any manner, directly or indirectly, repre-
sented in that gathering. If there be any
truth in this view, Archbishop Ireland
has certainly suffered but little of depri-
walton from the event. Were there a
settled policy on the part of European
society to resent any such narrow view
of the scope of that conference, the re-
suit could not have been more significant
Of the high esteem in which the archbish-
op is held in the highest circles of intel
lectual, religious and public activity in
Europe. Public and private bodies alike
have united in doing him honor. The dis
tinction conferred on him of delivering
the sermon at the Cathedral Of Orleans
on the occasion of the Jeanne dare
anniversary is one which attests his high
standing as an ecclesiastic, as well as
the extent of his fame as q scholar and
orator.
Not only the people of his own city
should feel honored in the high testimo
malls thus given to the worth of Arch
bishop Ireland, but the American people
are sure to regard the occasion as one
INVOLVING an extraordinary expression Of
the feeling with which they as a nation
are being regarded today in the old world.
Few men could have represented US
abroad as the object of so much consid
Grafton with more advantage than Arch
bishop Ireland. There is no flaw in the
texture of his Americanism. He is an
American patriot, proud of his people
and of his land; and no one has yet OBJ
served that he has permitted an occa-
sion to pass when expression could right
fully be given to his feelings in this re-
gard.
The giving. of receptions and banquets.
is much in vogue these days among us.
Why would it not be an entirely appropri-
ate step on the part Of our people here
in st. Paul to give to the archbishop on
his return such a reception as will show
him and the rest of the world that we
join in the high estimate which exists
abroad Of his personal worth?
