THE PLUM PUDDING TRADE.
It is Seriously Affacted by the Boer
 War.

London. Dec. 2O.-There is one class of British tradesuen who are now feel ing he i'll effects of the Boer war more than any ether perhars. These are the firms that make q speciality of export ing the genuine English Christmas-tree plum buildings to Britishers the world over. Tn some years the number of these puG5ings sent out on special or ders at this season of the year has reached the surprising total of three quarters Of a million. A large propor ton CT these have been sent to the United States and Canada. While many have been sent to the troops this year the whole number sent to the South African colonies has not reached mer years. owing 10 the unsettled con ditions in Cape Colony and the British territories adjacent.
 The peculiar industry of exporting plum buildings had it's origin twelve or fifteen years ago in a few orders from English folk living in other countries. vvh0 from one cause or another, found l. imDossible to successfully produce a Christmas pudding such as they had been accustomed to in their youth In recent years the industry has grown to such enormous proportions that for months before Christmas the canning factories are working day and night. and thousands of people, mostly girls, are given employment.

 Pottsville Pa.) Dec. 2O.-The ninth district of the United Mine Workers of America net in delegate convention in this city today. While the ostensibIe object of the convention is the selection of delegates to represent the district at the national convention in Indian apolis next month, it is said that other business of interest and importance win be discussed.
 There is talk among the delegates of asking all miners to work only four days a week until next April, so that the operators will not have a big sur plus of coal on hand should another strike be declared as a result of a fail Ure of the miners and operators to agree on a new wage scale. While this proposal appears to meet with cousid- erable favor among the men, it is op- posed by many of the leaders, who ar que that it would be better for the men to work steadily so that they would be better able financially to bear the bur den of a strike should one be declared.

THE Oil City Blizzard, which is all
cream, not skim milk, gives utterance to
this truth concerning the mass ofrubbish
usually sent out from the big city offices !:
1t is quite proable that the time will come
when some publisher of metropoliton
paper will make the discovery that the
public needs would be better supplied
by newspaper containing the pith of
the news than by one of eight, ten or
twenty pages filled with mere words.
AT the present time the rivalry is all in
the direction of quantity, with little ref
erence to the quality. The actual news
of almost any of the big papers could
easily be compressed into half the space
now utilized, and the small paper would
doubtless be more satisfactory to the
great majority of readers. As it is at
present the seeker after information is
compelled to wade through column after
column of verbiage and superfuous de-
tail to get what he wants. In these DAYS
the busy man has too much use for his
time to devote so mnch of ii to the news
paper hunt. 1t is undoubtedly a fact
that large percentage of the matter pub
lished in many papers is hardly ever
read at all. The time will come when
the multum in parvo parer,-the one
giving the most news in the smaller
space, Will be the one in demand.

Deafness Canno, Re 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 inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when il is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored 10 its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an intlamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

The late strikes have not been because
of the lowering OF wages, but for an in
crease, and the laborers feel that there
are no idle men to take their place. In

THE sugar trust did not get the gift of
Sl4,O0O,O0O with which the Democrats
tried to present it under the joint reso-
luton Of Congressman Richardson, of
Tennessee. His idea was to wipe out the
tariff on all sugar brought into the
United Ttates from Cuba and Porto Rico,
the duties on which last year exceeded
sl4,OOO,OOO. AS the whole of this sugar is
bought by the sugar trust and its allies,
there would have been a nice little sum
to divide among that monopoly's stock
holders had the Democratic resolution
passed the House.
