what she should cook and how it should
be done, that he would not supply

she says she was hungry most of the
time. She declares that notwithstand-

Railroads Were Busy.

Sunday and Monday Showed good
business for all the railroads touching
Canton. The travel was better than for
many days past. The Valley handled
an unusually large number Of travellers.
The Pennsylvania also carried its usual
quota. while the w. & l.. Il. was unable
with it's equipment to take care of the
vast traffic and will arrange to have
more coaches provided FOR its business.
The business is not confined to local
trade only. but includes the usual Sum
day trips to various points. besides the
sale Of many coupon tickets to southern
and western cities. Et.

The Young Man Gets There
With the Assistance Of
His Father.

New York, May Notwithstanding
the determination of the city of New
York not to permit its atmosphere to be
polluted by soft coal smoke, Secretary
Of the Treasury Gage has made him.
self responsible for the purchase by the
government Of costly soft coal furnaces
for the New York post Office and GUS
tom house, and the Brooklyn post office,
from his sons business establishment.
The federal authorities have thus
been put in the attitude of openly and
persistently violating the ordinances Of
this city directed against the smoke
nuisance.
The buildings are supplied with
bituminous coal furnaces manufactured
in Chicago by the Hawley Down
Draught Furnace company.
Secretary Cages son, Eli A. Gage, is
large stockholder in this company,
which does business through the First
National bank, Of Chicago-Gage's
bank.
officers of the company have often
boasted that Secretary Cages son was
largely interested in the company, and
that they had been given orders to put
their furnaces in United States build
ings in Boston, Providence, New York,
Brooklyn, Washington, and other
eastern cities.
Secretary Cages son admits his in
terest in the furnace company but says
he has not presumed upon his fathers
position to advance the concerns con-
tracts.
There are persons critical enough to
intimate that there is something wrong
in the award of a contract practically
made with the son Of the secretary Of
the treasury, under the terms Of which
a furnace system is installed in public
buildings which defies the laws of New
York city.

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 infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed 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 it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
ed by catarrh, which Is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hail. s
Catarrh Cure. Send 10, circular free.

WHAT 1T WILL COST.
A Figure That Tells How High
1t Comes to See the Big
Paris Show.

A number Of Canton people are go.
ing to the Paris exposition. 1t will be
interesting to get an idea Of what it
will cost. An American ambassador
says that to enter the grounds. visit
the numerous shows for which admis-
sion Is charged, to lunch and dine at
the various restaurants when necessary
and pay all the innumerable incidental
expenses within the exposition, will cost
about 1900 francs, (s360.)
OF course the exposition can be visit
ed much cheaper than this, but 1900
francs would be the cost IL everything
is seen. thoroughly. These rather ex-
cessive figures show the immense num-
ber and variety Of entertainments with
in the exposition.
There are thousands Of pickpockets
and thieves Of every class in Paris. The
prefect Of police tells the Journal that
nations are here.
Just to show how Industrious they are
one who was captured yesterday had
100 pocketbooks In his possession, all
gathered since the opening. But, M.
Lepine, is not idle, and Paris detectives
are gathering them in with dragnet.
There is tremendous complaint by
the exhibitors on account of the in
Vulnerable delays which prevent them
from getting their exhibits in place.
Aside from the inadequate means of
transportation. official red tape is block
ing the progress. Americans are
especially chatting under the delays,
which keep them at a standstill. One
example shows what has to be en-
dured.
The American Express company has
a great quantity of goods and cannot
get them on the grounds because the
authorities only permit delivery be-
tween and a. m. The jam during
those hours is almost prohibitive. Com

appeals to cut the red tape. but in vain.

SECRET TELEGRAPH.
Instrument Whose Message Can Be nssA
Only by the Man at the Wire.

Instrument Whose Message Can Be Read
Only by the Man at the Wire.
Edwin F. Van Vechten has in his
ONCE in Milwaukee telegraph instru-
ment that is hoped to prove a great
aid in teaching the deaf and at the
same time make 1t possible for the
deaf to become telegraph operators.
Besides this 1t Is expected to furnish
railroads, governments or others using
telegraph instruments with practi-
cally secret service. The new instru-
ment is one designed by George H.
Landgra4. an instructor in the Men
asha high school. The principle upon
which it operates is the same as that
of any standard telegraph instrument
now in USE Instead Of the receiver
ticking forth the sound loudly, as is
customary in order to communicate
the message to the ear Of the operator,
its ticks cannot be heard, but the mes
sage is communicated along short
wire to a delicate sounder incased in
small hard rubber cylinder. BY plac-
ing this sounder in the ear, the mes
sage can be plainly and distinctly
heard as it Is licked off, although no
sound can be heard by one standing
but few feet away. This instrument
would make a telegraph Office noise
less, and telegraph operator strolling
into the place would not be able to
hear messages that are frequently de-
sired to be kept from inquisitive ears.
Still another interesting feature about
the instrument, the value OF which
will probably not be known except az
ter 1t has been more extensively ex-
perimented with, is the touch COM
municated by the sounder to the teeth.
BY placing the end of the rubber cyl
inder between the teeth the repeated
ticks or blows may be distinctly felt,
and one who knew the telegraphic
code could easily read the message
sent by the communication thus re-
ceived. The ticks are clearly denned.
and not confused, and it is expected by
Mr. Van Vechtsn that deaf and dumb
persons may, after learning the code,
be able to use the knowledge to imam
cial advantage, inasmuch as they
would be as serviceable as those who
could hear plainly. The instrument
has been applied to small bridge.
or arch, upon a telegraph wire, tho
wire being cut underneath the bridge.
and the messages sent have been
plainly heard by attaching the sounder
to the ear.-Chicago Tribune.

Sweet Singer of Dublin.

An Interesting. and almost histori-
cal, figure passed away in Dublin on
July IL. Mrs. Edward Jeal was one
of the most gifted Of very accom-
plished band Of amateur singers. which
made Dublin music famous in the 4O's
and SOS. She was the niece OF the
celebrated Lady Morgan. the reputed
original of Becky Sharp Her voice
was almost unique, for she cultivated
it into a tenor. which. although small
in quantity, was singularly sympa-
thetfc in quality. Her vocalization OF
Italian music. more especially that OF
Rossini, was exceptionally finished.
For years she was conspicuous in Dub
lin circles for her brilliant wit and
artistic temperament. She was al
most. If not quite. a centenarian.
