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 infamed condition of the mu.
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound OF imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely cl.sed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con.
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an indamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

STIRRED UP BY HARRISON.
Havoc in Admin fstratiOn Circles CIR 70
ated by Former Presidents
Plain Talk.

One of the strongest evidences tt at
the shafts of ex-President Harrison
against imperialism are creating havoc
in administration circles is the fact
that in his argument to sustain the
constitutionality of the Porto Rico
tariff law, Solicitor General Richards
went out of his way to reply to eX-
President Harrison's Ann Arbor
speech. In that speech Mr.. Harrison
asked if the presidents assumption
of absolute power over the Porto
Ricans was anything less than shock
ing. The solicitor general tries to
mitigate the shock by denying the
presidents assumption of absolutism
He declared that the government had
never asserted and did not believe
that congress had the power of a
despot in Porto Rico. Does Mr.. Rich
ards believe that the American peo-
pie are to be deceived as to the ac-
tual exercise of despotism by the
mere disclaimer, when every act on
our part in relation to Porto Rico is
despotic? We tax the commerce.; we
send a governor general; we send ex-
ecutive officers; we send judges; we
send a majority of the legislature; !;
back Of these we have the army. Ev-
erything that Porto Rican may do
or may not do depends on officials in
whose choice he had nothing to say.
Isn't it the height of impudence to
declare that this is not despotism?
Nothing shows the moral cowardce
of the imperialists more than these
denials of their own works. They
haven't the courage of their own pur-
poses. "Imperia-ism is impossible -
says Mckinley, and then he sends a
commission OF five to make laws for
distant people who resent the i'm
position of the foreign yoke. There
is no despotism in Porto Rico" saws
the solicitor general, because the
government never asserted it," But
the governments assertion or denial
does not change the character of the
acts in Porto Rico. which are despot-
ism. pure and simple.

the animals up pretty thoroughly in
Washington, and they are angrily
swapping back. but without injury to

SUNDAY PICNICS

There are two sides to he question
Of SUI day picnics. One Of the parties
who recently appeared b4fore the
board of aldermen in opposition to al
lowing the disturbances to contin, e
uigh,ly on the West Hill, said to a
TELEGRAM representative the other
cav tnat there was To obj ction TO the
Italians having Sunday picnics il they
would contine tie attendants to their
own people.
A prominent Italian Socialist said
also that if the Guy wantt d to take
care of all the poor people in the city
1T could do so. He went on 10 say
that the Italians mad been in the
habit of supporting poor people Of
their own nationality from the reve-
nues derived from such entertain
mt nts. They did not feel like asking
the colony to contribute money for
this purpose without giving some
equivalent. So the Sunday picnic was
tried and had proved great success.
There were several poor Italians in
the city they were going to help in
this way, but since the aldermen had
forbidden the Sunday picnics they
we're going to let the tax payers step
in and help out. They were not noisy
at these picnics when left alone by
themselves. The greater part of the
drunkenness said to have tlouriSned
there was due TO the bot1le peddling
in the woods, a thing entirely out Of
their control.

IS IDENTIFIED
Body Found in Winooski
River is That Of
MRS. MARY LEACH
Of Fletcher Who Has Been
Missing for Two Weeks

Burlington, Aug. IA case of mys
teriouS drowning was reported L
Health OH er Watkins Tuesday night
about 7.30. The badly decompoSeG
body Of u woman was found floating
in the WinooSki River above the first
dam. When DR.. Watkins arrived a
preliminary examination Of the corpse
was made. IL was in such state OF
putrefaction, the flesh having decayed
so as to reveal the bones, in some pla-
ces, and the hair having almost en-
tilely dropped out, that no certain
Identification could be made.
The body, said DR.. Watkins, had
been in the water probably about two
weeks, although it was impossible to
state the length Of time absolutely
Inc fact that the head Of the body
when found was under water indica.
ties that the body had not been IN the
water very long time, because the
brain when decomposed causes the
head to float.
The body was identified yesterday
afternoon by M. j. Leach of Fletcher
as that of his wife. ldentitical ion
was made also by Barney Porter, her
father, also of Fletcher. The princi-
pal marks of MITIGATION were the
feet, the absence OF teeth in the up
per ia Y, and the Sateen waist which
she wore.
The remains will probably be taken
to Fletcher for burial.
Mrs. Mary Leach disappeared about
two weeks ago. The CLERK OF the
Sherwood House, says that woma'
VIII Sc description corresponded with
that Of the missing woman, came to
the SherW ooc House, and had herself
egIste ed, after some thought, as l.,
Whetherby of Cambridge Her ac-
tionS werS singular enough 10 cause
comment, in that she did not seem tc
know where Sue was going or what
she intende' TO do. She appeared
sane, however and gave no lndica-
tiOnS of lack of mental balance.
Size remained only one pight at the
hotel, and remarked as she left in the
afternoon that she was Undecided as
to whether she would return or not.
While at the Sherwood House, she
wrote TO her sister Mrs. Celia Fitz-
gerald Of Fletcher. In this letter
was passage showing des pondency
and weariLeSS OF life, on the part Of
the sender.
Mrs Fitzgerald also received from
the same sender at the same time a
package containing cape, rings and
glasses.
