Elected

John Edward Addicks is evidently
growing desperate in the view of the
determined attitude of the regular Re
publicans in the Legislature Ii has
been made clear that Addicks cannot
be elected TO the United States Senate.
and on Friday night last, at a dinner in
Philadelphia rendered by the candidate
TO his supporters in the Legislature. he
made brief speech and practically de
clared that it must be him or no one
else. He said that Union Republican
must be elected TO the Senate. To thar
proposition on its face the regular Re
publicans do not object. and if the man
who holds that the honor belongs to
him by virtue of political contributions
would step aside and put up some re
sponsible member of his own faction
such man would be elected

BALTIMORE POLITICS.

Senator-elect McComas has
gotten himself into a muddle
before he has entered upon the
State leadership of the Repub-
lican party. He has stirred up
the wrath of hundreds of Re-
publicans by trying to force
the nomination of ex-Mayor
Hooper as the candidate for
Mayor of Baltimore.
McComas is held primarily
responsible for General Shry-
ock's declination as a candi-
date and under their breath the
organization people anathem-
atiZe the Senator elect for inter
fering with local political
affairs.
Ex-Governor Frank Brown
is the leader of a movement in
the Democratic party to har-
monize the differences between
the independents and the reg
ulars. He is forming a citizens
committee to arrange for the
holding of a mass meeting to
urge the nomination of new
men for Mayor and other mu-
nicipal offices.
While all the old leaders of
the city Democracy have been
forced through policy to accept
Browns nomination and come
out for the new movement.
they are suspicious of the ex-
Governor. He has identified
himself with men who have
been fighting them and they
see in this latest political scheme
"A move to relegate them all to
to the rear and boom Brown

Deafness Cannot he Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed. Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
ont and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever nine cases out of ten are caused

WHEN the Democrats had the

publican press professed to
believe that the schools were
run by and i'm the interest of
the Democratic party regard
less of the best interest of the
people. These Republican saints
raised their holy hands in horror
at such a state of affairs, and
proclaimed that such would
not be the case when their
party took the reins of govern
ment. Well the Republicans
are in control. Now what do
we see? An attempt to get

"Since the Republicans gained
control of the Board of Educa-

none has been successful.

the following interesting estimates.
taking the figures of French statisti-
clans as a basis: He has lived 81, $50

eating. walking, amusemcnts. etc. He
has eaten 2S.5G0 loaves of bread. or III,
tons, which. at three cents a pound.
would be $Sj6.S0. OF meat he has eaten
81, $50 pounds, or about l3i. tons. which.
at five cents "A pound, would be equiva-
lent 10 Sl,3i0. He has eaten 7.12S
pounds of vegetables. eggs, fish. etc.
which, at two cents pound, would be-
$I5i.56. As drinker this elderly citi-

taken $50 gallons of liquid. namely.
