Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
tho 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 icondition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infap,ed you have a
rumbllng sound 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 its nor
NAL condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

AntidOte Against Stings.

According to DR.. Friedlander of
Wiesbaden, electricity is an antidote
against stings of insects. His plan in
such cases is to apply constant cur
rent and to place negative cathode on
the spot stung by the insect Galvani-
nation produces a rather strong sensa-
ton of burning, but at the same time
the pain from the sting disappears, and
if the electricity is applied very soon
after the wound has been inflicted there
is little or no swelling. The current,
however, does excellent service even II
it be not applied until after some time
has elapsed, for 1t removes the pain and
also quickly reduces the swelling. The
supposition is that the poison which
the insect has injected through the skin
Is neutraized and rendered innocuous
by the current.
DR.. Friedlander has repeatedly made
experiments of this kind on persons
who have been stung by bees and wasps
and has invariably found them success
full He naturally believes that sim
liar result would be obtained in the
cases of persons stung by other insects

fessor Schurman, head of the United

"While the final decision as to the
form of government is in the hands OF
congress, the president under his mill.

ing form Of government:
ga governor general to be appointed

1.-THE president earnestly desires that
bloodshed cease, and that the people Of
the Philippines at an early date enjoy
the largest measure of self-govefnmAht
compatible with peace and order"
The United States commission pre-
pared the scheme and the president
cabled his approval of the form Of the
document.
The Filipinos have made no definite
proposition, except for cessation of
hostilities until they can present the
question of peace to the people. Profess
sor Schurman told the Filipinos they
had no means of gathering the people
together, as the Americans control most
of the ports. He also reminded them
that liberal form of government was
offered them and pointed out that it was
better than the conditions existing IN
der Spanish rule.
Gozaga, president Of the Filipino
commission, replied that nothing could
be worse than Spanish rule, and adj
mitted that the form of government
proposed was liberal.

thought saw the CLEAN Of light flash
under the door of my shanty. I was
about to hurry on when the boy laid a
hand on my sleeve.
Presently there wa>a scratching from
within. A match famed up. The man
who had lighted it was crouched on the
floor, his body between us and the
light. He was unwinding a piece Of
very thin Irvine or strong thread and
carefully stringing it across the floor
from the bed to the stove. He passed it
round leg of the stove and then back
again, securing it finally with infinite
caution to little shiny metal tube
which protruded from the top of small
parcel. This parcel was standing we'll
hidden under one of the chairs at the
foot of the bed. As the man turned I
saw his profile plainly. 1t was Callan.
An instant's thought and my engi-
neering training made plain to me the
whole Internal plot. The parcel was
gun cotton; the tube held acid in thin
glass receptacle. Above this was lead
en- bullet, kept in place by movable
pin. The string so carefully wound
across the floor was attached to the free
end OF the pin. A touch Of careless feet
against the string, the pin would pull
out, the bullet fall, the glass shiver and
the acid do its deadly work on the ex-
plosive below.
I had forgotten for the time all about
the boy. Suddenly, in moment of mad
fury-for he, too, had understood the
plot-he sprang up and beat with his
fists upon the pane. Callan raised him
self quickly, but carefully. not forget
ting the deadly string. What he did
forget was how near he was to the stove.
As in dream saw his coat catch
against it. 1t swung and the big kettle
overbalanced. For an instant it seemed
to hang in the air. I strove to call out
It was too late. Smash, it fell right on

REPORT CONFIRMED.
Proposition of President Schurman to
FilipinOs Officially Sanctioned.

Proposition of President Schurman to
Filipinos Officially Sanctioned.
WASHINGTON, May %. The report
from Manila that form of government
has been proposed to the Filipinos, in
Guiding governor general cabinet and
advisory council, is confirmed at the
state department, where it is said this
is the general line of action on which
the authorities here and at Manila are
proceeding. The plan is the outgrowth
of numerous cables and mail exchanges
between President Schurman of the
Philippine commission and Secretary
Hay, as we'll as advices from General
Otis and Admiral Dewey. The PROPOSE
ton to have governor general and cab
met appointed by the president is sub
stantially the same as the system now
in operation in Cuba. Like the Cuban
system, the administration would be
military in character for the time being
at least, while conditions were unsettled.
The authorities here are acting on
the theory as in the case of Porto Rico,
it will be for congress to establish the
permanent form of government for the
islands. 1t was understood at the time
Major General Lawton went to Manila,
that General Otis would become COVER.
nor general, while General Lawton as
sumed active direction Of military af.
fairs. It is not improbable that this
plan might be carried out If the Fill.
pinos accept the plan now proposed,
thus making General Otis the first gov.
ernor general, with General Lawton
and General Macarthur occupying posi-.
tions similar to those of Generals Lud.
low and Wood in Cuba. The proposed
advisory council is also similar to that
in Cuba, where Governor General
Brooke has the advice of q native coun.
oil as we'll as that of the military off,
GERS under him. The main idea of the
system proposed in the Philippines is
to carry out the assurances given in the
proclamation issued some time ago, to
maintain the sovereignty of the United
States over the islands and at the same
time give the natives the largest meas.
ure of home rule.

WRECK OF THE PARIS.
II Occurred Within Half a Mile Of tho
Mohegan Wreck.

II Occurred Within Half Mile Of the
Mohegan Wreck.
FALMOUTH, Eng, May %. - The
American line steamer Paris, from
Southampton and Cherbourg for New
York, struck an outlying ridge of the
Manacles at point half a mile from
where the wrecked Atlantic liner Mohe-
gan lies and five miles from Falmouth.
The Paris, which sailed from South
ampton Saturday called at Cherbourg
and picked up 30 passengers. She left
Cherbourg at 6 p. m. Soon after in
the morning, at high tide and in dense
fog, she ran ashore. From the first
there was no danger. Lifeboats and
tugs were soon literally swarming
around the vessel to render assistance.
A majority of the passengers, who
numbered $50, were brought to Fall
mouth, where they obtained lodgings
for the night.
Lying In Smooth Water.
Captain Watkins reported that his
ship was lying comfortably in smooth
water and that there was no occasion
for any alarmist reports. He reported
the passengers and crew all well.
The first intimation of the vessels
striking the rocks was slight grating
sound, which was followed by second
and more pronounced shock. The look
out yelled that there was something
looming ahead, but before there was
time to reverse the engines the ship had
gone on the rocks 200 yards from the
shore. Assistance was summoned by
means of rockets. A majority of the
passengers were not aware that an acct
dent had happened until they were
called up by the stewards. On reaching
the deck they found the ships boats in
perfect readiness for their reception.
Passengers Taken Off Safely.
In accordance with the instructions
of the captain the women and children
were the first to be taken off the ship.
Such perfect order was maintained that
passenger explained the situation as
simply slow procession of women and
children making for the boats.
1t is suggested that as this is only the
second trip from Cherbourg the officers
of the Paris were not familiar with the
course.
The crew of the Paris are still aboard
the vessel. 1t is believed that the
steamer has large rent in her bottom
in the forward part of the ship. Tugs
are standing by her. and will assist in
an effort to get her off the rocks.
The passenger list includes IS first
cabin passengers, 100 s. ;ond cabin and
1872 steerage.
First Attempt L "ccessfui.
An effort was made curing the after
noon to tow the Paris off the rock.
Three tugs were engaged at full pres
sure, the steamers steel hawsers and
her own engines assisting for half an
hour. The attempt was entirely unsuc-
cessful, the steamer not budging an
inch.
The Paris lies in much the same po-
sition as when she struck, her bow be-
ing about $50 yards from the shore and
her stern about 200. Just outside the
bows of the Paris is great, ragged
rock and ridge Of rocks projects into
the water 200 yards ahead. There is
about Is feet of water in the three for
ward compartments.
