But ut What a Fearful Cost

He had been out late. When he reached
his residence the church clock was Ginning

the front door with some difficulty, and soft

chamber with elaborate caution.
Thank goodness, she was asleep!
He dropped into chair, and, without
taking off his coat or hat, began to remove
his shoes. One he placed with great care
upon the floor, but alas! as he took off the
other it slipped out of his hand and fell
with a loud noise.

neafnens Cannot Re 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 rnu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumblinG
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 normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by cataTrh,
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 Cure.

Washington, July 1.-THE officials
here confirm the advices from Vienna
that a plan of arbitration proposed as
a means of settling claims growing out
of the HaZletOn, Pa, riots had been
rejected by the United States. This
probably disposes of the matter. At
the outset the state department called
the matter to the attention of the
governor of Pennsylvania, who in turn
awaited the action of the jury at
Hazleton which tried the sheriff on the
charge of murder The jury acquitted
the sheriff, whereupon the Pennsyl-
vania authorities held that they could
not recognize responsibility which
jury had held did not exist.
The state department took similar
view, whereupon Austria-Hungary pro-
posed arbitration of the claims. 1t
is this last proposal which is rejected,
which seems to close the matter, as the
claims are hardly considered of suf-
ficient Importance to justify Austria
Hungary to go beyond the diplomatic
representations she has already made.
Vienna, July 1.-THE American re-
fusal to arbitrate the HaZeltOn, Pa,
riot case has caused surprise and dis
