Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local application 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
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entire
ly closed, deafness is the result, and un-
less 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

Is WORKING ON
The MESSAGE.
President Mckinley Will Be
Busy all the Week.
TO BE READY FOR CONGRESS.
Legislative Body Meets Next Monday and
There Are some Important Matters
to BE Get Forth In The
Message.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Much of the
presidents time this week will be de-
voted to the completion of his annual
message, which will be transmitted to
congress next Monday. Thus far most
of the work on 1t has been done at
night, but on account of the proximity
of the opening of the session, visitors to
the white house during the day will
now have difficulty in seeking the presi-
dent, as he will be engaged in putting
the document into Gnal shape. Mr.. Me-
Kinley dictates nearly everything that
goes into this important state paper.
More than ordinary interest attaches
to the message this year This may be
accounted for by the fact that so many
vital subjects will be tree ted in 1t, and
also by the expectation that the presi
dent will formally and clearly outline a
policy of civil government for the
Philippines.
1t is said that the president will rec
ommend the gold standard law be SO
strengthened that IL will be open to
but one construction, and be secure
from assault. This can be accomplish
ed, 1t is claimed, by making all forms
of money, including silver, greenbacks
and treasury notes, interchangeable
with gold.
In discussing the Chinese situation II
is expected that the president will take
occasion to refer to the fact that the
United States has been and still Is
opposed to the partition of the Celestia
empire.

Youngstown, Nov. 26.-"If James c.

Immigrants A ffiicted With 1t Not

Secretary Gage CT the Treasury

Immigration Bureau have decided
that tuberculosis OF the lungs, con-
sumption, ia a contagious disease
aud that aliens afflicted with it ehall
not be allowed to lsnd in the United

the case OF the Rev. Tanijolo Kas

the America Maru in the latter part
OF last July. He is member OF the
Methodist Episcopal church, and
had teen engaged to assist in the
work OF the Japaue'e Methodist
Mission in this city.

reverend gentleman was somewhat
emaciated and was afflicted with a

matter to the attention OF Federal
Quarantine Officer Kinyoun, who
examined the applicant and found
that he was suffering with the hope
less disease. Upon this showing.

OUR DELEGATE TO CONGRESS.

The mention Of the name of

A wise step has been taken by
Secretary Gage and Commissioner
Powderly in their declaring tuber-
culosis contagious disease and that
aliens afflicted with it cannot be al
lowed to land in the United States.
This decision affects Hawaii as we'll
as other parts or the United States,
and we think it will be material
help for the establishing of hospi-
tai for incurabes in Honolulu.
Many persons willing to subscribe
for that noble institution feared
that the hospital might become a
sanitarium for consumptives from
the mainland, who, hearing about
our climate and free hospital, might
pack their trunks and seek recovery
or relief at least in Honolulu. I'm.
der the decision OF the highest auth
critics in the States we presume the
Territory of Hawaii can refuse ad-
mission to residents suffering
from a contagious disease and apt
to become charge on charity.

impression that liquor is being cold

fact is that the drunk" is a Satur-

a bottle OF "suthing," which puts
the final touch to the condition OF

marks OF DR.. Cooper strikes the
right chord, and we are glad that

harmony among the members OF the

"The position taken by some OF
the fraternity early in the history

their dissenting opinions met with
scant toleration at the hands OF
