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 inAamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed, Deafness is the result and IN
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever
Nine cases out OF ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inAamed
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 Halls

CANAAN CONN. THURSDAY. DECEMBER

ped rnem down perhaps q hundreT rect. Tn time the crevasse filled up solid, and as the ice was pushed down to the sea berg was born, and the corpses were carried away with 1t. One could not say from the dress how long time had elapsed. We must judge from the fact that, though we reported the case three months later, the identity of the tourist has not yet been discovered.
 We returned to the bark to report what we had seen, and I offered te take ropes and axes and blasting pow der and return and secure the dead. The captain favored the idea, perhaps thinking 1t would profit us in some way, but circumstance stepped in to prevent me from carrying out my plan. As we were getting ready the berg began to revolve in a slow and stately way, and at the end of an hour the western face had turned due south, and such a sea was beating on it that no landing was possible. To make our way over the berg we should have needed wings. The move ment of the berg crowded the icefields, and the result was the opening of a barrow lane to the north. We were watching and waiting for 1t, and the bark was soon warped in and sail made. We were lucky enough to keep this lane until it led us quite out of the floating ice and further danger, and looking back as we sailed every man of the crew saw the figures as the three of us had seen them. The spray seemed to dash against their frozen faces and the waves to rant and growl like hungry wolves, but we knew they would not be given to the sea until their strange coffin had drift ed out of that frozen and desolated sea into sunshine and warmth.

THE SCHLEY REPORT
rwovERolcTs SUBMITTED BY COURT
 OF INQUIRY.

Majority Cen.ure Applicant on Many
 Point. - Admiral Dewey Di.ncntx
 From some of the Findinn.-Au Agree That schIey Was No Coward.
 The findings of the Schley court of Inquiry were promulgated by Secreta- " Long on Friday. There are two re- ports. Admirals Benham and Ramsay concur in the first, which Is signed by Admiral Dewey also as a matter of form. Admiral Dewey makes a sepa- rate report, although he agrees with the findings of facts subscribed to by the others
 The majority opinion Is as follows:
 Commodore Sehley, Tn command of the flying squadron, should have pro- ceeded with utmost dispatch or Glen fuegos and should have maintained a close blockade of that port.
 He should have endeavored on May 23 Ut Cienfuegos to obtain information regarding the Spanish squadron by communicating with the insurgents at the place designated In the memoran- dunn delivered to him at quarter past s a. m. of that date.
 He should have proceeded from Cienfuegos to Santiago de Cuba with all dispatch and should have disposed his vessels with view of intercepting the enemy in any attempt to pass the flying squadron.
 He should not have delayed the squadron for the Eagle.
 He should not have made the retro grade turn westward with his squad ron.
 He should have promptly obeyed the navy departments order of May 9.
 He should have endeavored to cap ture or destroy the Spanish vessels at anchor near the entrance of Santiago harbor on May % and 30.
 He did not do his utmost with the force under his command to capture or destroy the Colon and other vessels of the enemy which he attacked on May 31.
 By commencing the engagement on July 8 with the port battery and turn Ing the Brooklyn around with port helm Commodore Schley caused her to lose distance and position with the Spanish vessels, especially with the vizcaya and Colon.
 ''The turn of the Brooklyn to star board was made to avoid getting her Into dangerous proximity to the Span- ish vessels. The turn was made to-

Marconi,. Great Feat.

Signor Marconi. the inventor of the wireless telegraph, on Saturday receiv- ed at his station at St. Johns, N. F., a signal from his wireless telegraph station on the English coast. The sig nal was received by means of kites connected with the receiver. The sig nal was not distinct. but was readily discernible. Signor Marconi Is building receiving tower at St Johns and ex- poets to be able soon to receive and send messages of any character be tween the two continents. The Anglo American Telegraph Cable company has served legal notice on Marconi of their claim that he is infringing upon their rights In sending dispatches across the ocean from the Newfound- land coast. Negotiations between the inventor and the company are now go- ing on. If they fail, the experimental station may be transferred from St. Johns to the Nova Scotian coast.

ward the Texas and caused that vessel to stop and to back her engines to avoid possible collision.
 Admiral Schley did injustice to Lieutenant Commander A. c. Hodgson in publishing only portion of the cor respondence which passed between them.
 Commodore Schley's conduct in con nection with the events at the Santia- go campaign prior to June 1, 1898. was characterized by vacillation. dilatori- ness and lack of enterprise.
 His official reports regarding the coal supply and the coaling facilities of the flying squadron were inaccurate and misleading.
 His conduct during the battle of July 3 was self possessed, and he en- couraged in his own person his sub ordinate officers and men to fight courageously."
 To the majority opinion is appended this recommendation:
 Tn view of the length of time which has elapsed since the occurrence of the events of the Santiago campaign the court recommends no further pro- ceedings be had In the premises"
 The following Is Admiral Dewey's separate opinion:
 "The passage from Key West to Cienfuegos was made by the flying squadron with all possible dispatch, Commodore Schley having in view the importance of arriving off Cienfuegos with as much coal as possible In the ships bunkers.
 "The blockade of Cienfuegos was ef- fective.
 the steamer Adula to enter the port of Cienfuegos expected to obtain informa- tion concerning the Spanish squadron from her when she came out
 'The passage from Cienfuegos to a point about twenty-two miles south of Santiago was made with as much dis patch as was possible while keeping the squadron unit.
 "The blockade of Santiago was ef- fective.
 commodore Schley was the senior officer of our squadron on Santiago when the Spanish squadron attempted to escape on the morning of July 8, 1898. He was In absolute command and is entitled to the credit due to such commanding officer for the glorious victory which resulted in the total de- struction of the Spanish ships"
 Admiral Schley, after a conference with his counsel Monday, sent a re- quest to Secretary Long asking him to l,t. ~f &Az ~. findings until the admiral's counsel had time to enter objection thereto. See retary Long signified that he would grant the request. W. H. Stayton. counsel for Admiral Sampson, announe- ed on Tuesday he would enter pro- test against Admiral Dewey's opinion.

Buffalo, Dec. 1S.-In view of the wide discussion of the question who should pay the physicians who attended Presi- dent Mckinley, pr. Matthew D. Mann made the following statement setting forth the attitude of himself and his associates. Dr. Mann said: We feel that we operated on the president of the United States; that we operated for the American people with view to saving their president for them; that we were called not by the family of President Mckinley, but by the au- thorities, the cabinet and others, to take charge of the president, and we feel, therefore, that we have right to look to congress and the nation for our remuneration"

THE ICEBERG'S
 SECRET < ps;.; N. QUAD
COPYRIGHT, 1901, BY c. B. LEWIS.
 


 We had been driven below Cape Horn hundreds of miles by a fierce gale lasting eleven successive days and nights, and one morning we found our selves among the ice and almost wrecked aloft. The gale had blown itself out, but the situation was one calling for the best seamanship and the keenest vigilance. Only steam whalers and exploring vessels get as far south as we found our position to be except by accident. During the three days we were putting the bark shipshape we were packed in a field of ice extending as far as the eye could see on every hand, and even had we been a twin screw steamer I doubt if we could have worked clear of 1t. It was field ice broken from the coast of some island, and some of the cakes were a good twelve feet thick and al most as hard as flint.
 On the fourth day we found ourselves driving down among six or eight great icebergs, and the boats were provi- stoned and other preparations made to leave the bark at a moments notice. The odds would be a thousand to one that the boats would be ground to pieces in ten minutes, but we had to take them. While we helplessly waited the field struck a berg which was esti- mated to be a solid cube measuring about 2,0O0 yards on every front and towering up over hundred feet high. There was a grand crash, and the berg began to slowly topple. It was like tree falling, only much slower. It took a long minute for that monstrous cube to turn turtle. and as the top reached the water the mass cracked in twain with report like the firing of a can- non. The sea kicked up gradually, opened a wide lane in the icefield, and the bark was headed in and had clear sailing for ten miles before we found the passage blocked by one of the big gest bergs ever set afioat. Had that berg been measured should have had some wonderful figures to set down here, but it was impossible for us to

Newark, N.

The horses were soon galloping. and at the foot of the hill the stage up set Alderman Horace Holcomb, Alder. man Elmer Horton and Olaf Scharir were severely hurt. Fears are enter tained that Alderman Holcomb vii not live. The other members of the party were more or less injured.
