The white House Mail nox.

"An amusing thing that we frequent
ly see at the White House." said one
of the attaches there. sis the mailing
of letters in the White House letter
box by visitors to the city. All visitors
to Washington go TO the executive
mansion, and many OF them notice the
letter box in the vestibule just before
entering the east room. Some of them
decide to mail letters there. believing
that these letters will contain the
stamp Of the White House. OF course
it would be q great thing for a distant
relative TO receive a letter postmarked
at the White House.
'The other day an intelligent looking
woman, accompanied by several grown
daughters. asked me TO lend her pen
Gil. | heard her say, Won't il be love
ly to mail them a letter from here and
let them see that we've been to the
presidents homer She proceeded to
write for some time, secured an envel-
ope, addressed il and then proudly
dropped the epistle in our letter box.
She went OFF with a radiant face. She
was sure that all her neighbors and
friends for miles around would hear of
that letter mailed from the White
House, and she would he besieged with
inquiries on her return. She'll learn
her mistake. The letter box here does
not differ in any way from those on
the streets. Washington Star

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous Inning of the eusta-
chian tube. When this tube gets in
famed 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 condition,
the hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Ca

The national ticket Of the Republi-
can party is now before the people as
well as their platform of principles,
both of which the people will be asked
and are expected to endorse in the
November elections. The statesman
like character OF President Mckinley
is supplemented on the ticket by the
heroic and romantic personality of
Theodore Roosevelt, present governor
of New York. In the platform the
prosperous condition of trade is
pointed out as the result of the
financial and other eco2Omic legisla-
ton of the Republican party; promise
Is made of an adjustment of the trust
evil on lines that will not be injurious
to trade yet adequately protective of
the interests Of consumers, and the
patriotism of the nation is called upon
to sustain the glorious record of the
administration in the war with Spain
and the difficult problems thrust upon
us by the territory that we have fall
len heir to as a result of that war.
Republicans have much to be proud OF
in the splendid administration of the
past four years. and the ticket appeals
TO the sentiments Of patriotism tC
rally to its support and extend the
glory of the republic rather than to
follow off the reactiOnarieS who seek
TO undo and turn us back from the
progress that we have achieved and
the prosperity that we now enjoy.
