The Census Questions.

The difficulty in obtaining the ages
of women under the census enume-
ration has come up in the resent
census. This was to be expected. 1t
always does. If there is any thing
that woman holds it to be impertinent
for the public to inquire into it is the
number of years she had been in this
world. A Richmond paper states
that Chief Snead, of the Richmond
division, has been applied to by suf-
fering and staggered enumerators to
know what to do when women regard
his inquiries anent their age as insult
ing and refuse to reply to them. "Use
diplomacy" advises this resourceful
and willy official. "If a woman ap-
parently So refuses to give her age
just tell her that you are going to put
her down as 45 on your list I'll
guarantee that will fix EN- all right. ~
The Shepherdstowa enumerator asked
a maiden lady the other day how old
she was. "You are fool, was her
answer.

Printing Without Ink.

a company has been formed to con-
troll the process of printing without ink,
by using electricity and chemically pre-
pared paper In a short time, tits expect
ed, this innovation will be completely in
troduced, and old methods revolution
lied. There is one thing however that
has resisted all innovations; that is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has
many imitators, but no equals as a cure
for stomach, liver and bowel troubles.
This peerless remedy has been the stand
ard medicine of the American people
for the past fifty years. 1t is a wonder
full medicine for dyspepsia, indigestion,
biliousness, insomnia, constipation and
nervousness. 1t also prevents malaria,
fever and ague. 1t keeps the stomach
in good condition, and the bowels regu-
lar. Try it, and you will not be disap-
pointed

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 lnilamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachan Tube When this tube gets in
famed you have 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 its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall S
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

SmallpOX at CharIestOYn.

A good deal of interest was mani
tested here the first of the week by
reports that there was an outbreak of
smallpox in Charlestown. As is usual
ly the case, the rumors were consider
ably out of proportion to the facts in
the case. The Charlestown physicians
announced the presence Of the disease
last Sunday. 1t appears that num-
Der of persons had peen afflicted with
an eruption that seemed more like
measles than anything else. No one
was seriously i'll and the victims were
not confined to their beds. The ply
sicians became suspicious, and on Sun
day notified Mayor George Washing
ton as to the facts. He called meeting
of the town council Sunday night. At
this meeting several physicians were
present and advised the council in
their opinion there were several cases
of smallpox in the town. The council
determined to have experts to examine
the cases and Mayor Washington was
authorized to go to Washington to Sc
cure Government experts. Monday
morning he went to that city and saw
the government Surgeon-General, who
decided at once to investigate the
disease. The mayor returned Mon
day evening, accompanied by Drs. G.
Ralph Walsh, Donald Currie and P.
N. Darlington, government experts
on smallpox. They made an exami-
nation and pronounced the disease
genuine smallpox, but in very mild
form.
The town council held a meeting
Monday night and it was determined
to take vigorous steps to stamp out
the disease and prevent its spreading.
Each house infected was quarantined
and placed under guard and a tenn
porary hospital was erected outside
the corporate limits, to which patients
were removed, and will be confined
until cured. The disease is confined
to the coIored people, and under the
strenuous rules now enforced by the
council it is not likely that it will get
among the white population. The
physicians report that there are only
three cases Of a serious nature, while
there are several cases Of very mild
form, which are not likely to infect
others. 1t is supposed the disease
was brought from near Clarksburg,
w. Va, where number Of colored
people of Charlestown had been work
ing on a new railroad and returned
home. The physicians state that as
the disease is in a mild form and as
such prompt action has been taken
they will be able to prevent its furth-
er spreading.
Yesterday fifteen patients were re-
moved to the hospital outside of the
town, and other affected persons will
be removed as soon as possible. All
the cases are among colored people,
and every patient is guarded.
The board of health and the corpo-
ration authorities of Shepherdstown,
acting together, have decided toquar-
antine against CharIestown, and an
order will probably be passed requir-
ing everybody in this place to be vac
cinated.

Street Incident.

"My Dear Slr."exclaimed Lawyer Barthol-
omew Livingston, meeting the Rev. DR..
Archibald Windham on the village street,
What does this mean ! thought you were
laid up with all sorts OF bad diseases :"

tleman, IL had an attack OF Indigestion and
from that time on my whole system has been
in a disordered condition until began TAX

same medicine cured my wife of rheumatism
and my little girl of sorofula. When they say
it's the best medicine money can buy, they
only tell the truth"
"Yes. yes, so they do. replied the minister
and the two passed on.
