Yacht Club Anxious.

New York. Sept 30.-An anxious
but determined lot of yachtsmen gath
cred at the New York Yacht club Sun
day night for another talk over the
exciting race, the chances of the Co
lumbia in her next contest with the
Shamrock II. on Tuesday, but above
all that the dreaded question of the
prospects of the famous cup at last
returning from whence it came after
being in American hands brief month
over half a century. The anxious
members seemed to be in the major
ity, although the grim air of determi-
nation not to give up the cup was
quite prevalent. Every member frank
ly admitted that he had experienced
something like a scare, and no one
wanted to see the Columbia win anoth-
er race by so close a margin.
Coumbia's close call over Sham
rock in the initial race has stimulated
speculation and the British boat is not
without friends who are ready to back
her at proper odds to carry off the
cup. Everybody is hoping for a stiff
blow Tuesday, as both captains de
clare the boats will be at their best il
a 20-mile blow.

Gem of Art That May BE Had for the
Asking.

That's a beautiful subject to discuss any
time of the year, but especially SO dur
ing the rainy months, when a trip TO
Southern California is most delightful.
The how, when and where of the whole
business is told briefly but comprehen-
sively in little book that would be an
ornament to any library table. Ask the
Pacific Coast Steamship company to mail
it from their office in Seattle, Portland,
Tacoma or Spokane. As a work of art, it's
a gen. Get the book and enjoy its
beauty and the story it tells. The trip
may be within reach before the winter
ends.

DEAFNESS CAN NOT BE CURED

by local applications, they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition Of the mucous lining Of
the eustachan tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing. and when 1t is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the intlam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re
stored to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of 10 are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.
