RUSSIAN COUNCILLOR'S DEDUC-
 TIONS FROM BoER WAR.
Jean De Bloch Declares That Military Service as Practiced To-day is Absurd Sacrifices in Europe to Support Com scriptlOn Unnecessary ~ Successful Outcome of n War of Aggression Under the New Conditions, Impossible.

London, June 24.-An interesting pa- per written by Jean de Bloch Ghe Rus sian chancellor of state and member of the Russian ministry of flnance) on the lessons of the Transvaal war, was read at the United Service Institution this afternoon. The Russian councillor de- clared the South African war had proved that military service as prac tised to-day was absurd and that the sacrifice made on the continent to sup port conscription was unnecessary. The war showed that the theatrical spec tacles called manoeuvres were in no way related to real warfare. One of the most remarkable features was the constant impossibilty of determining the enemys position This was not attributed to British defective recon noisance but to the new conditions of war. It was not mistakes made by the British nor the qualities of the Boers who had shown an entire lack of ra- tional strategy and tactics which pro- duced the results seen, but smokeless powder, and long range, quick firing rifles, which involved dispersion and invisibility to a degree unheard of for merry anu lo tue posslplllty ol pTONlu- ing rifemen with a larger number of cartridges. The action of artillery in outh Africa has been generally abso- lutely contemptible against an en- trenched enemy.
 The main lesson, continued Council Tor de Bloch, was that a successful out come of the war of aggression could not be hoped for against any great power, still less against allied powers. No re- suits could be obtained in great Flu war. Consequently it had be- sively.

NO INDOOR BALL THIS WEEK.
ogiethorpes Unable TO Muster Team
and Hussars in Like Fix.

and Hussars i'm Like Fix.
There will be no game of indoor ball
between the Chathams and the Ogle-
thorpes Wednesday as was scheduled.
1t has been postponed until the follow
ing week, because so many Of the
Oglethorpes' men will be out of town
Thanksgiving that that team will be
unable to play. 1t was hoped until
yesterday that the Hussars might be
induced to take the place of the Ogle-
thorpes, but they. too, will be unable
to muster a full team.
In the Y. NJ. c. A. Indoor Baseball
League the last of the scheduled
games will be played Friday night,
between the Blues and the Whites.
Until the game last week, when the
Reds defeated the Blues so easily, It
was though that the Blues were sure
winners that they would easily defeat
the Whites, and thereby tie the Reds
for first place, thus necessitating an
other game to play off the tie; but the
Blues played so poorly in the last
game that. unless they improve good
deal by Friday, the Whites will have
no difficulty in capturing the game,
and by SO doing, close the schedule
with the Reds in first place, the Blues
in second, and the Whites third, and
last.

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

1t has been stated on good medical
authority that -tenths of cases of
deafness are caused from catarrh Of
from sore throat trouble.
The little tube which leads to the
ear from the throat is lined with a
sort of velvet structure called mucous
membrane. This membrane is simply
a continuation of the mucous mem
brane lining the throat. When disease
of any sort attacks the mucous men,
brane of the throat it is very liable to
extend into the Eustachian tube and
up into the ear.
The history of nearly all cases of
deafness is like this: cold is contract
ed and neglected. other colds are
taken, the throat becomes sore and in
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.
1t seems little far fetched to say
that most cases of deafness are caused
from catarrh, but il is certainly true.
and anyone who has had a severe
catarrhal cold must have noticed how
the hearing was affected while the cold
lasted.
With catarrh sufferers this impair
ment of hearing becomes chronic and
grows worse the longer the catsrrh is
neglected.
You can cure catarrh and deafness
by the regular use of an excellent new
preparation called Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets. composed Of antiseptic reme-
dies which act both on the mucous
membrane but principally and most ef-
fectually on the blood. eliminating tho
catarrhal poison from the system.
People whose hearing Is defective
may think Il a little remarkable thar

Miss Una Clayton and her stock
company will open their engagement
tomorrow night in Miss Military" a
tale of the Cuban War, in which there
are some very exciting scenes. Miss
Clayton is well known here, having
played number OF engagements. AS
usual with popular price companies la
dies will be admitted free the first
night when accompanied by a paid
ticket provided the ticket is purchased
before o'clock p. m.
The following notice of the company
is taken from the Mobile Register: "A
crowded house greeted the Una Clay
ton comany when the comedy version
of Nell Gwynn" was presented. The
public had been promised a good show,
and particular stress had been laid up
on the costuming and the scenic set
tings The audience expected a fairly
good show. That IL was surprised and
delighted was plainly demonstrated by
the applause. From the rising OF the
curtain to its fall the entire PERFORM
ance was worthy of all the praise be-
slowed upon IL. The character of Mis-
tress Nell best suits Miss Clayton, and
she was dainty, capricious, charming
and daring, just as Nell should be.

ner as the Duke OF Buckingham, Miss

very clever and artistic performance
of that role.
Those who have seen this produc-
ton can readily understand the many
requirements demanded of the artist
who assumes the part Of "FlipDer,"
the jockey. AS its name implies, he
must be flip of speech, small of stature,
nimble of foot quick of action, and
alert and wideawake always. He must
be able to sing a song or a dozen Of
them, dance a jig or a reel, be quick
and pointed in repartee, and conceal
his identity of face, figure and speech
at a moments notice. This wonder
full versatility Mr.. Arthur Dunn pos
sesses perhaps more than any artist
in America. 1t has enabled him to
score very decided and pronounced
success in this production.
Mr.. Dunn will be seen in conjunc-
ton with some fifty other artists,
comprising the Augustine DAILY Com
pany which presents "A Runaway
Girl on Tuesday evening.
The play is a clean-cut musical
comedy from George Edwardes' Gaiety
Theater London, and Days Theater,
New York city. The company appear
ing in the production is composed of
Metropolitan artists of high standing.
The comedy will be staged, costumed
and interpreted as BELTS the standard
established by the name it bears, that
of Augustin DAILY, a sure guarantee of
all that is clean, artistic, meritorious
and enjoyable.
