there wasn't a single c%ritter there that had
more than a stump OF a tail. What they need
is a hair renewer for those prize animals. A

Washington, Dec. 5.-The Hay
pouncefote treaty concerning the
~Nicaraguan canal was the subject of
n few minutes consideration by the
senate committee on foreign rela-
lions. which committee has charge of
the treaty in the senate. The treaty
already has been reported by the
committee, and II was, therefore, only
taken up in an informal way, and for
discussion only. No conclusion was
possible, except to decide to press the
nuestion in the senate, and there was
substantial agreement upon the wis
dom of this policy. There is nodivision
in the committee except upon amend,
ments, although Senator Bacon did
not manifest any great concern for
the passage of the treaty in any
shape. No vote on any subject con-
nected with the treaty was possible
in the committee, but the discussion
revealed the fact that the committee
is evenly divided upon the question
of the amendment of the document
in accordance with the provision re.
ported during the last session of con.
gress, providing for the fertilization
of the proposed canal. The committee
stands:
For the Observation-Disclosures. Lodge

provision in the new army bill is like
ly 10 cause a great deal of contention.
Instead of being a prohibition of the
sale of liquor it provides that no
army officer or soldiers shall sell liq-
uor. The provision is as follows:
THAT no officer or private soldier
shall sell Intoxicating drinks Of any
kind, as a bartender or otherwise, in
any army post. or on any army trans
port, or in any encampment, or fort,
or on any premises used for military
purposes by the United States: and

ed to issue such general order as may
be necessary to carry the provisions
of this section into full force and eff
feet"
The canteen provision of the pres
ent law is as follows:
That no officer or private soldier
shall be detailed to sell Intoxicating
drinks, as a bartender or otherwise,
in any post exchange or canteen, nor
shall any other person be required or
allowed to sell such liquors in any en-
campment or fort or on any premises
used for military purposes by the
United States, and the secretary OF
war is hereby directed to issue such
general order as may be necessary to

Deafness Cannot he 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 mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets intlamed you have a 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 catarrh,
which is nothing but an inlamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that

LIQUOR TRAFFIC IN AFRICA.
Temperance Reformers Before the
Foreign Relations Committed.

temperance He1Ormera before the
Foreign Relations Committed.
Washington, Dec. 5.-The senate
committee on foreign relations grant
ed a hearing to the representatives of
several temperance and reform asso-
cations in support of the treaty pro-
viding for the control of the liquor
traffic in Africa. Among those pres
ent were Bishop Hartzell, bishop of
the Methodist Episcopal church for
Africa; Mrs. Stephens, president of
the W. c. T. T., and also representa-
tives of the Anti-Saloon league, the
National Temperance society, and a
committee of the Presbyterian church.
Bishop Hartzell made the princi-
pal address, and he strongly urged
the Importance of the ratification of
the treaty at as early a day as possi-
bic, saying that it was necessary to
the welfare of the black races in their
native country. Members OF the
committee assured the bishop of their
Endorsement of the principle involved,
and informed him that the failure of
the senate to consider it had been en-
tirely due to the pressure of other
business. A number of petitions
were presented urging that the treaty
should not only be ratified, but that
the principle involved should be ap-
piled to other uncivilized portions OF
the world.
After the delegations withdrew the
committee voted to report a resolu'
ton for the ratification of the treaty
without amendment.
