To Lengthen Human Life.

A discovery which, it is asserted,
solves the problem of circumventing
old age, has just been made public by
Prof. Joseph R. Hawley and Alexan-
der c. Wiener, of the Chicago Clinical
School. The prolongation Of youth, it
is said, is produced by hypodermic
injections of the Emphatic fluid Of
animals, particularly young goats.
The discovery was made a year ago,
and subsequently secret demon8tra-
tons of its efficacy are asserted.
The theory of the discovery is that
if the mineral deposits which accumu-
late in the bone. in the process Of life
can be replaced with the life cells con-
tanned in the Emphatic glands of
goats, deterioration Of the bones will
be prevented and elasticity and youth
will be retained in the system much
longer.
In one of his experiments at the
Clinical School DR.. Hawley admins
tered hypodermic injections Of the fluid
from the Emphatic glands Of a goat
to a dog known to be fourteen years
old. Inspection of portion Of the
femur before the injection showed that
the bone contained large deposits of
phosphates, carbonates and soda. The
dog was watched carefully for two
months, during which frequent ihjec-
tons of the lymph compound were
made. At the end of that time an
other examination showed that the
large part of the mineral deposits had
been removed, and the animal was as
lively as a puppy.
A number Of human beings, it is
said, have been experimental on in
Chicago in the same way and with the
same results.
The originators of the treatment do
not assert that a man or woman thus
charged with goats "life cells, will
live forever, but they say life will be
prolonged, perhaps doubled.

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 inflamed con
dtion of the mucous lining Of the Eu-
stachian Tube When the tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

AMONG our callers last Friday was
Col. j. G. Hurst, of Harper's Ferry,
who has announced his intention Of
making contest for the Democratic
nomination for State Auditor. Col.
Hurst thinks-and very rightly-that
Jefferson county Democrats are enti-
tied to an important place on the
ticket next year, for the big majority we
roll up here year after year is worthy
ofsome reward. To our own people who
know Col. Hurst so well there is no
need to refer to his qualifications, but
to the Democrats of the State at large
we want to say that the nomination
cannot be bestowed upon more worthy
gentleman than our-fellow-citizen of
Jefferson county.

A MOVEMENT is on foot to establish
ar industrial and agricultural colony
for negroes from the South on Long
Island, New York. The plan is to
build a town for colored people ex-
clusively, where they shall be gov
erned by regulations of their own, and
in which they shall have full control.
1t is thought that there will be gen
eral exodus from the South, where so
many negroes have been terrcrlzed by
the recent lynchings.
We should like to see the project
carried out. We want to see If the
northern people will do more for the
colored folks than the southern peo-
pie; we want to see how they will act
when their homes are invaded and
their women sacrificed by those fend-
lsh brutes who nave gwen the oouVH
its bad name; we want to see what
measures will be taken when the col
ored voters shall have majority suf-
fcient to control town and county af-
fairs in their new home. The pro-
posed colonization, if carried out as it
has been planned, will be an excellent
object lesson to the country at large,
but we doubt if it will be good thin 6
for the negroes. No respectable col
ored man need fear anything in the
South, for here they are treated with
kindness and consideration. It is on
ly the unworthy who get into trouble,
and the sooner they leave the South
the better.

A dreadful crime occurred last Sat-
urday morning, at Slidell, Montgom-
cry county, Nd. Louis Rosenstein con-
Quoted little store at Sidell, lonely
spot, near Boyd's Station, on the Bal
timole and Ohio Railroad. A negro
from the neighborhood, Humphrey
Brown, went into the store apparently
to purchase a pair OF shoes He at
tackled Rosenstein and beat him into
insensibility. Mrs. Rosenstein, hear.
ing the noise, came to her husband S
assistance, and she met similar fate
at the hands of the negro. The latter
then ransacked the house, and es-
capped, taking with him 5000 in
money, for which he had doubtless
committed the crime. Rosenstein
died Saturday night, and his wife is
at the point Of death. The negro was
arrested yesterday in Washington, but
before he was captured he killed one
policeman and wounded another. He
was found in an old building,and when
the policemen attempted to take him
he resisted arrest, making free use Of
revolver. He finally surrendered
when preparations were made to burn
him ont.
