announced that the building WIS to To-.
christpn-d the Angler Gymnasium" in

the Gymnasium aud its equipment. Dr.

At the conclusion Of his address the
audience was conducted to the GYM
nasium, where Mr.. Whitehouse explained
the use of the apparatus. There was a
very large crowd present, many being
unable to secure seats in the chapel All
were very highly pleased with the new
building in all its apartments.
The Board Of Directors of the Library
Association of Trinity College. desiring
to arouse an interest i'm rpnding among
the members of the Association. and to
meet demand that already exists for
definite plans of work, has prepared
courses of studyin Biblical lines, History,
English Literature and Sociology Other
courses will be suggested as there is
demand for them.
The outlines of these courses will b..
sent to all who may apply for them.
Any additional suggestions will toe given
to those who may desire further inior-
nation. n il hoped that many grad
yates Of this and other colleges will take
this opportunity of renewing their zeal
for learning, and that those who have
never taken n college or university
course, will have ambition to take up
work that will tend to supply the lack of
a college curriculum.
At the last meeting of the scientific
society DR.. Hamaker gave an interesting
account OF weather forecasts and meteor
illogical phenomena in general. His re-
marks were illustrated by maps and pub

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 infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, 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.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

BAY LINES NEW TERMINALS

The Baltimore Steam Packet Co.
has let contracts for its new building
to be erected on Light street wharf
to +. y. Noel. of Baltimore. The
structure was planned by Messrs.
Baldwin Il Pennington, architects,
and will present a very handsome
exterior. From its center rises an
ornamental tower. For freight ten
or twelve gateways will be provided,
each ranging from twenty to twenty
five feet in width, allowing ample
room for a dozen large trucks to dis
charge at one time. This will greatly
facilitate the transfer of cargoes. a
special passenger entrance will be
constructed, including an ornamental
overhead structure. The contractor
has instructions to push the work :s
rapidly As possible, and the ter
minalS of the Old Bay Line will be
ready for use in 4 few weeks. Manu.

A HORRIBLE hotel holocaust occurred
in New York last Friday afternoon
resulting in the known death of six
teen persons and the injuring Of
fifty others while the missing at last
accounts footed up forty-seven. The
Windsor, one of the largest and most
popular hotels in the city, was the
fatcd structure and it proved 4
veritable death trap. What added to
the great loss of life was the fact
that the hotel was filled with people
at the time who had gone there
temporarily to watch the st. Patrick :
day parade. 1t will probably never
be known exactly how many persons
met death in the burning ruins or
who they were even if the hotel
register was saved.

only momentarily-for what it dis
close does not belong to the present
