A thorough investigation should
be made in regard to tho case OF q
new born baby girl being lett on
the door step Of an employee OF the
Kameh ameba Schools. 1t is the
business of the police department
of course, but we think tho Board
of Health and every physician in
.own should without divulging pro
fessional secrets assist in finding out
who the unnatural mother OF the
poor child is. Here is proper
case for the "reformers," but as lbe
child is white, they will probably
not act. We'can not give space to
the ugly rumors in connection with
this sad affairs.

A rare compliment was paid to
Deputy High Sheriff Chillingworth
last evening at the Chinese theatre
on Liliha street. There was row
and the Deputy was sent for, as he
was going to bsd, after long days
work. We blush to say it, but it is
fast that he had nsither shirt
or other under clothing uuder his
coat aud pants when he arrived on
the scene OF the riot. but his very
appearances stopped the riot and a
few words from him IN ade thousand
people in the audience shut mp and
go home. Mr.. Chilliugworth may
be young 10 years, but thst fault
will probably be overcome even
tually. We lit / ad, howev'r;w o,

the duties OF the police mean a

The Tuppenny Tube-A Plan to Cob

can Trolleys.

London, of course was the first place
our promoters reached. They found
there a population of six millions con-
tent to travel in bus, hanson and
steam underground trains, but ut great
disadvantage. On the former an Ameri-
| can business man could not afford to
ride unless time were no object, for,
though eXhilarnting as Il novelty, con-
stant blockades made speed Impossible.
The latter is Objectionable on account
of noXiOus steam, gas and ill-lighted
cars.
Enslishmen, however, would have
endured these inconveniences indefinite
ly had not their eyes been opened by
the tuppenny tube. The tuppenny tube,
so called, because one may ride UNDER
ground any distance in one direction
for two pence four centsl has now
been running two years, and is the best
thing of it's kind in existence From
kensington. a residential section, its
brightly lighted American ears shoot
out into the city through tube. white,
calsomined and clean. within il few
minutes An American news stand is
al each station. Sprague elevators drop
you from the sidewalk to the under
ground platform, and brilliant electric
lights enable you to read.
But the tube is only Serviceable to Il
small part of London. so Yerkes and
his American syndicate bent every ef-
fort to get control of the District the
Metropolitan Underground Railways.
These two. with an inner and outer
circle, fairly cover London, and for
years they have been the pride of Eng
! lishmen, forerunners in underground
| engineering,
But London. tired of the wretched
| accommodations CRIME that soiled and
gas that choked, was ready for elec-
| tricty. The Americans knew it,.
Yerkes proposed to install electric cars
equipped with the Sprague multiple
| system, in which each car has II sep
| arate motor, so that II one ear breaks
down the train will still run. Fear
| ing that the Yankees could not be
| trusted, or perhaps jealous, the English
| engineers advised the GAM system,
| where the current is fed by tremen-
| dous voltage and there is no preventive
| for the contingency mentioned. But
good sense prevailed. Yerkes' inten-
| ton now is TO intersect these two cir
| cles with connecting lines and inau-
| gurate a transfer system, when Lon
! don's underground will be ideal.
| Meanwhile, great promoters like
| Whitney, Widener, Elkins. Cassatt,
| Blair and Kegan We're not idle, but
formed "a project to cobweb Britain

up right of ways along the canals and
any unused tramways that had not

the amount of American capital in
vested in English electric surface roads
has reached immense proportions.

mands for American equipment the

CAUSE OF DEAFNESS.
The Most Common Cause Only Re
Gently Discovered.


1t has been stated on good medical
authority that nine-tenths of cases Of
deafness are caused from catarrh or
from sore throat trouble
The little tube which leads to the ear
from the throat is lined with a sort of
velvety structure called mucous mem
brane This membrane is simply a
continuation of the mucous membrane
lining the throat. When disease Of any
sort attacks the mucous membrane Of
the throat it is very liable TO extend
into the Eustachian tube and up into
the car.
The history of nearly all cases Of
deafness is like this; A cold is con-
tracted and neglected. other colds are
taken, the throat becomes sore and i'm
famed. which is aggravated by parti-
cles of dust and germs from the air
This condition causes the disease TO
spread into the tube that leads to the
ear.
It seems a little far fetched to saw
that most cases OF deafness are caused
from catarrh, but it is certainly true.
and any one who has had a severe ca
tarrhal cold must have noticed how the
hearing was effected while the cold
lasted.
With catarrh sufferers this impair
grows worse the longer the catarrh is
neglected.
You can cure Catarrh and deafness
by the regular use or an excellent new
preparation called Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets. composed Of antiseptic RENE
dies which act both on the mucous
membranes but principally and most
effectUally on the blood eliminating
the catarrhal poison from the system.
People whose hearing is defective
may think It little remarkable that a
simple and harmless tablet would very
often remove all traces Of deafness.
but when il is remembered that ca
taTrh causes the deafness and that the
catarrh is easily cured by the regular
use Of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets there
is no mystery about it.
If you are subject 10 nasal catarrh
or catarrh of throat bronchial tubes
or catarrh Of stomach and liver. the
safest and most effective treatment is

clubs were proposing the organization
of a worlds federation of clubs.
Rev. P. 5. Thacher followed with
an interesting lecture on "The InhU-

state, the mothers influence plays into
the mechanism Of the moral universe
at point nearer than mans to the
great source of all. She may often
rebel at the grinding tyranny of her
household cares. and not be able to
command faith enough at the moment
TO repress the exclamation: I am a
slave. She is a queen-she commands,
if she chooses, the next general ton: she
can prepare the minds of its men to
obey or to originate that which is true
and good. It is a universal rule which,
so far as I know, has no exception.
that great men always resemble their
mothers. While in some respects
woman is weaker than man, she has
more power over him.
THE aesthetic influence of woman
has always been recognized. It is I'm
possible to glance over a gallery of art
or a library, in which are collected the
trophies and tokens of the worlds best
life, without realizing that womanhOOd
Underlies and inspires the achieve

while in intellect woman is equal
to man, IL is a great error to over
estimate intellect and its fruits. IN
the best meaning and satisfaction of
life, the genius of character transcends
the force of intelligence. Always be
